[blobmanwhotries]

Please welcome reaper Jeremy from my Subnautica AU!

Tried something different with my style- the shading leaves much to be desired but it's not the worst thing in the world, so I'll take it

Unfortunately there's no fic this time 😔

But I have hcs and lore below- seems odd for such a shy dude to be one of the most vicious and dangerous creatures, right?

First off - YES, he does have mandibles. I just didn't feel like drawing them.

Second, YES, he does have the front fins (the leg looking thingies) - they are on his hips. Again, I didn't feel like drawing them.

anyways

So, reaper leviathan. A notoriously horrifying and deadly creature in Subnautica. The destroy all vehicles, they destroy you, and don't hesitate to fight any surrounding fish.

Why the fuck ks Jeremy one when he's

A) Not a fighter

B) Passive

C) Too scared to actually fight anyone

The answer is simple:

His dad is a reaper. His dad is, in canon, a very fucked up individual. I don't want to spoil all of my canon lore just yet, but trust me when I say his dad is fucked.

In my mind (amd my friend's), Reapers are super introverted creatures. They mate every once in a while, usually a different partner, and one parent raises the kid. When the kid's an adult, they have to fight their parent for freedom to prove they're strong enough to survive on their own. This results in many injuries and, sometimes, death.

However.

Jeremy did not win that fight. He was even sustained permanent injuries and scars. He is, as you may guess, blind.

(In my canon, since Jeremy is usually depicted without eyes and just a question mark, I thought it'd be interesting if he was blind. This comes up a LOT in canon.)

At some point he escapes the Mountains, having been shamed for losing against his father and wanting to "start over" - see, even if Reapers are a reclusive species, they're still a community.

Now he chills by himself in the Dunes, away from most other fish and sustaining for himself.

Don't underestimate him just because he's blind and more passive than your average reaper. He can very much destroy any of your vehicles, attack large fish, and can navigate much better than you'd think a blind reaper could. He can hear especially well, and echolocation does have a role in it.

Jeremy is also , uh... Big. Like. Very big. Mostly long - but he's bigger than all of the human crew and Vincent (who is a lovely Warper, but that's for another time).

Hope y'all enjoy this info dump. I might go back and edit it at some point (it's 2 AM lmao). If there's any questions feel free to send them in the ask box 👍

Who holds the balance?

Summary: Daniel is intrigued about those that rule the after life and more importantly who is in charge of the balance between life and death.

Authors note: Just a gif story on how Our boy Loki could be the man that keeps the balance of life and death, It's Feasible. Tagging those who enjoy my silly gif stories.

Feel free to reblog. Story under the cut

Ever since Daniel had became an honorary family member to the reapers, he's found himself asking more questions about the world ruled by gods and demons, then he ever had. His knowledge was what came from his family and the hunters, so not always completely accurate, especially when it came down to what they knew about the reapers and how the hunters felt they couldn't be trusted.

It was a fact that got under Adder's skin, a lot but he soon educated Daniel with the facts, all except one.

"So who holds the balance?" Daniel asked one evening while Duke was busy trying to slaughter Rusty after another prank that wound him up.

"Well at the moment it seems to be Duke, he's got Rusty pinned and Rusty is going to try and charm his way out" Adder replied as he watched the squabbling duo like a father watching squabbling siblings.

"No not between those two....I mean the balance, you know, between life and death" Daniel replied as he grabbed the popcorn that was sitting on the coffee table, made from old engine parts. "Heaven is ruled by gods and Angels, Hell is ruled by Satan and Demons, so it only makes sense that the balance is held by an entity of some sort"

"Aaah that! Well you'd be right there is an entity holding the balance together, another god in fact. He gave up everything to make sure that the circle of life continued as it should. I like to think of the balance as being like Yggdrasil, the tree of life. The tree grows, produces fruit, the fruit falls, rots and gives nourishment to the ground so that it can nourish Yggdrasil and the seeds within the fruit can grow. Boom circle of life" Adder explained before noticing Duke reach for a wrench "DUKE. NO!"

"THIS PRICK NEEDS A LABOTAMY AND I CAN DO IT FOR FREE!" Duke screamed.

"Put. it.down!" Adder growled, watching Duke toss the wrench aside in disappointment "You know the rules! Orson will deal with him"

"Oh yeah! Orson gonna get out the broom for you sonny!" Duke replied happily as Rusty's once cheeky look fell from his face.

"Uh-Oh" Rusty whimpered

Adder rolled his eyes. It never ceased to amaze him how Duke and Rusty always found something to squabble over. Every day. Non-stop.

"You ever met them? You know the god that holds the balance, " Daniel asked as Rusty was introduced to his fate by a rather disgruntled Orson.

"Once. I was in limbo and I was in a bad place. I went looking for a fight with our enemies and because I wasn't with it, I got over powered, knocked out and slung into the Hudson. Should have died but for some reason I ended up there, right in front of Yggdrasil. Beautiful looking tree" Adder replied as he sat down on the couch, pausing for thought. "The god resides in Yggdrasil on a throne holding it altogether, keeping watch and making sure everything is as it should be"

Daniel raised his eyebrows impressed, knowing that only a god could keep something as delicate as the balance of life and death, balanced. Yet it still didn't answer the question on Daniel's lips.

"Yeah but what did he look like? Was he cool looking? Was he scary?! Come on feed me knowledge that I can use to seduce the ladies with" Daniel pleaded.

Adder just laughed, amused by the fact Daniel was using his knowledge to seduce the single huntresses amoung the Hunters ranks.

"How's that working out for you?" Adder chuckled

"Not so good" Daniel muttered

"Well I'll tell you if you stop using our history as a ridiculous, chat up method." Adder replied.

"Come on man women like stuff like that...Especially at Halloween when all the scary stories-"

"Daniel" Adder interrupted firmly, hating the fact Daniel possibly tells scary stories about them, even after the lecture he gave about how it is a little offensive to Reapers.

"Fine. No more seducing women with Reaper history" Daniel grumbled.

"Good man. Now, the god in Yggdrasil, he wore a crown with long horns, like the devil, raven black hair, green eyes, a tongue of silver and green robes" Adder replied.

"Man likes green...is he like a nature god?" Daniel asked

"Not really....but he is wise. When he sensed me being there, the branches parted, there was this weird, comforting green glow around him. He looked at me and told me that we, the reapers, are the groundkeepers, without the groundkeepers the tree can't flourish and can become sick which can alter the balance. He made me realise my importance and the next thing I knew, I woke up and Orson, who was sopping wet, was dragging my ass out of the Hudson and cussing my stubbornness" Adder explained

"So does he have a name?" Daniel asked

"Oh now that would be telling Daniel, can't be telling a mere mortal like you the name of the god holding the balance together. But what I will say....is he is a little mischievous"

Reaper's March

Concept art for The Elder Scrolls: Online

Art by Jeremy Fenske

[blobmanwhotries]

I wanted to reblog the og post and add the speedpaint there but ig Tumblr doesn't let you do that

It's here instead now ig, for those who want to watch (3 min.)

Notes, ramble, and fanfic updates under the cut

Video time: 3 minutes.

Total time: ~5 hours, 17 minutes.

App: IbisPaintX (ugly ass water mark in the corner).

Device/Tool: My phone and finger.

-

I like this speedpaint a lot. You can see how I improve and change things throughout the piece. I wish you could see just how much I use that undo button though - that button is my savior.

The starting sketch DOES belong to me. I want to make that abundantly clear (I use a lot of outside references sometimes). If I use an outside reference and it is in the final product (as in I use other art as reference), I will give credit if I can. The reaper picture next to it is not mine and belongs to the Subnautica devs.

-

Process (kinda):

1) Using a sketch makes this SO MUCH EASIER. It's a pain in the ass but jfc it's faster than trying to digitally sketch with your finger

2) Blah blah blah rough outline whatever

3) I swear I know how to use the paint bucket tool yall, that would've made shit so much easier, but there were gaps and i couldn't figure out where they were so my background kept turning fucking blue

4) SO PROUD OF THE BLUE TO RED FADE MARKINGS ON THE ARMS. I USED THE ERASER TOOL FOR THAT.

5) Realized the blue was too bright and i need to tone it down - tried to keep it from looking like the blue water was making him (the character) blue

6) i cant remember when the reaper reference is added it just lowkey appears

7) i wasn't trying to shade but i kinda did with the way i outlined some of his torso

8) color gradient for texture

9) scars. Tried to add more texture to the scars by adding color but i hated it.

face: his dad

(right) arm: small fish (biter? bleeder? unsure)

(right) axillary zone: prolly another reaper

(left) hip area: small fish (unsure)

front of the pelvis (kinda): scratch (prolly a claw)

(right) lower than hip zone: small fish (unsure)

10) at some point i added texture to the dorsal fin???

11) adjusting the face

12) turn off the lineart layer

13) While working on the lighting and shading (that wack white box and purple shit? yeah) I realized that I'm gonna need help figuring it out - I got on the floor behind one of the couches in my living room and tried mimicking the pose and realized that the anatomy was all fucked up and I had to fix it 💀💀💀

14) properly work on shading (kinda, still looks wack)

15) blend that shit (lowkey liked it better before) but thats fine

And there we go, you got urself a reaper Jeremy

I plan on working on Viktor next - might do chris first tho. I'm not sure yet. I still have other things to draw (and write, for that matter).

I'm currently working on getting a lot of my lore straightened out. I'm also trying to make character sheets for me to reference and use to write headcanon drabbles n whatnot. The world-buliding is genuinely crazy -

I mean, I made three OCs just so I could build up Chris' experience in the mafia, and that's not including Jubi. There's about 20 characters I have to write things for, and that's not taking the missing children (which is ALSO about 20) into consideration. I also have other AUs which really messes with the timeline.

All in all, I've been slowly working on more stuff to post in my oneshot book. Since I've thought about him the most, Scott's almost done. I believe Viktor will be done soon too.

-

Anywho, if you've made it to the end lf this, thanks. I like being able to post random thoughts and ideas I have, even if I know not everyone will read or engage with it.

As always, ask box is open - feel free to drop a note or smth in there. Have a fantastic day/night.

Now elaborate on why that is a Jeremy song (please🙏🏻)

Okay wow. This has been gathering dust for months I'm so sorry! the song in question is HERE putting this under a read more cause I have things to say!

I'm a son to my mother A man to my father Same blood in the water Different skies that we hide

feel this one is fairly self-explanatory, we know things are very strained between him and his parents. But his mother paid/s for his very expensive therapy, would never raise a hand to them, but also keeps tabs on him and we see how difficult the family is with him. how there is some huge rift between them and hold his own distance from his stepdads family. and ofc we have the line 'I'd really appreciate it if you wouldn't call me by my last name'. its about the duality of being a son and a man, child and adult, being kept in check, being managed but also supported vs being allowed to grow up and have autonomy and freedom in his own life, be who he is, mistakes and all. "son to my mother // a man to my father" this family is clearly troubled and not happy or healthy but whatever the scandal was it didn't only happen to him, whatever is going on with this lot its not just his shit. "same blood in the water // different skies that we hide"

My friends are sisters and brothers They guard me with honor But my skin is the armor So they can't see inside

We see and are told how much he loves his friends and the team. we know that that's where he feels safe and at home. these people are his real family and they are fiercely protective and loyal to him. but even with them, he's hiding. he always has his mask on. his guard up. even in his own pov we barely see a single chink in it.

Oh you, you don't know who I am I fight the demons the best I can Oh you, you don't know who I am And maybe, you'll never understand All that I am

he's doing his best, (literally always trying to be good) and for mast people that's as far as they look, a good act, an easy performance to take at face value and the least inconvenient version of him to see. the golden boy, the day spirit winning captain sunshine. but his friends and we the readers can all see how false it is. its effort, this is how he's learnt to survive in his life. he's resigned himself to living this way, being this caricature of himself for other peoples comfort and benefit, on other peoples terms. but that must be isolating as hell. if only a select few ever see beyond the persona and actually understand who he is and why he is the way he is. not see that he can be more than the public face hes safe to show. the loneliness in this, the instability, the 2nd guessing of when or what might cause the rug to be pulled in relationships that he thinks are safe.

I hung my stains from the preacher Suit and tie for the reaper If I mask my demeanor Is it all just a lie?

and in continuation of this, how much do you get to change yourself or play a role before it starts eroding your sense of self? is it a lie if you grow from your mistakes? are we allowed to improve? to be forgiven? to move on and be better or are we always and inescapably tied to the sins of our past, whatever they may be? if he plays the good guy and is a good sport and a dedicated positive presence is he tricking people? is he lying to them, to his fans, to his friends? is he allowed to be both things and to play different roles in different places in his life and all of them be true? or at least be part of the truth? if he stopped playing along would he still belong there? Oh, I've had some dark, dark days But the face I wear exists in the light Exists in the light

we know there's something dark in his past, we know hes been through something bad that others barely know how to acknowledge, maybe because they don't know the truth of it or because its so bad even for them or to protect him from it. but hes trying to live past it, hes trying to come good, make his life good and the people around him happy. earn his place in the light. i wrote something in my own journal years ago that feels similar to this, "maybe if we pretend we're happy for long enough one day we actually will be".

hes striving for the future he hopes to achieve but hes gotta get through this to get there. and he is actively choosing positivity and connection and hard work to try and get there which i love, but that doesn't mean this behaviour isn't just a very socially acceptable coping mechanism and distraction.

[blondeaxolotl]

Seeing your redesign of Pluto made me remember Sebastian the dog exist, so I wanted to ask who he’s swapped in your red butler au ?

Sebastian the dog isn't swapped with anyone actually and still exists in the universe as the phantomhives dog!!!! In the Au even it's mentioned that the dog exists because when O!Ciel and Sebastian (The demon, except it's reaper here instead) meet for the first time, when Ciel learns that "Lau's Butler" is named "Sebastian" he immediately goes: "You cannot be Sebastian, we already have a cool Sebastian (the dog) I'm calling you Jeremy" It's also funny because the Midfords also had a dog named "Grell" (Grell being the dog that Grell the butler ends up being named after), meaning it was canon at some point that Grell the dog and Sebastian the dog existed together

Sexiest Man Alive 2023

Honestly, it should go to Jeremy Renner. The man survived the most gruesome accident and instead of giving in, he fought to stay alive for his daughter, his family and his friends. Less than a year later, he's back walking, without a cane mind you, while still recording music and working on more Rennervations. The toughest Avenger there is, according to the Avengers themselves, he's still so selfless and thoughtful and puts everyone else first aside from his healing. He can sing, he can play piano, drums and guitar, he can act, he's a true gentleman and the sweetest mama's boy there ever was, and he came out this accident so strong and happy to be alive. That itself, never mind likely telling the grim reaper to fuck off on New Year's day is something that should truly be celebrated. I know he wouldn't care regardless and would probably blush at the very thought, but to me, he gets the prize every year, this one now more than ever. I've never seen so much love pour out for him than this year, from his celeb friends to his amazing family and his daughter for coaching him through recovery. He truly learned from that experience and it's humbled him even more, if that's possible. He's never been considered sexy in the "conventional" way, but he's not conventional. He's a true renaissance man who can do anything, play any character, help anybody, make anybody laugh and is the most cuddly, hard faced human there ever was.

Nobody talks about the trope of doing stupid and selfish things to save the love of your life. To keep them alive or safe because you love them enough to do the craziest and most dangerous things possible.

I want to talk about this trope with WayHaught.

S2: Waverly damns the whole world to save Nicole’s life. Then she blows up the god damn Earp barn with her, Nicole and Jeremy in it to bring them back to the primary reality instead of the alternate one they’re in because the Iron Witch Waverly made a deal with to save Nicole decided she wanted to be petty and throw them into an alternate Universe with no Wynonna in.

S4: Nicole promises to trade Doc to Mama Clanton to save Waverly from the Garden. She doesn’t deliver after Waverly, Doc and Wynonna are back home so Mama Clanton puts a frog-barf curse on her as punishment. So to deal with that Nicole decides to submerge and drown herself in a tub of freezing cold water to temporarily die so that she can transfer her consciousness to a frog she barfed up. She ends up leaving the frog’s body because Waverly gets reaped so Nicole goes after the reaper when he tries to attack Waverly. Then because Nicole is almost dead Waverly murders Mama Clanton to both end the frog-barf curse she put on Nicole and to save her life yet again.

These crazy bitches are so in love with each other and so desperate to keep one another alive and safe that they’d let everything crash and burn around them just to do it. Just to achieve the unfathomable all for love.

Where have I seen that before? Oh yeah. In ‘Xena: Warrior Princess’ in ‘When Fates Collide’ when an alt-Gabrielle decides to burn the Fate’s loom and let the whole alt-Universe go boom all because alt-Xena’s nailed to Caesar’s cross and they can’t be together.

What do you call this trope? Is there a name for it? I fucking love it! I think it’s batshit insane but I love it!

[cowboybrunch]

it's friday... where are the new chapters of Burden of the Reluctant Death?

since we wrapped act 1 last week, i decided to pause for this week and get ahead on editing/get set up for my november writing challenge so. no new chapters today

BUT! chapters 10 and 11 will be out next friday! in the meantime, here's a snippet from chapter 10 (Rosalie POV):

"Twenty three steady heartbeats, not including your own." He tilts his head. "Ms. Miller has a murmur, though. Might want to get that checked out." My pulse is anything but steady, but if he notices, he's kind enough not to mention it. "Then why are you here?" "For you," he says like I asked if a snake has knees. In a dizzying exhale, I realize that I'm alone (Jeremy is probably upstairs, but how quickly could he make it to the lobby if I screamed?) with a strange man (a man that claims to be a supernatural entity, so double strange and half man). Reading my expression, or more likely the increase in my heartrate given the previously offered information, he shows me his palms. "Not like that." He flinches. "Or like that." He's been forthcoming enough, so I wait. "It must get lonely," he explains, gesturing to the room, the linoleum floors and plastic plants, "being here all night by yourself." "I manage," I say, and it's true. I manage, badly. This, apparently, is the wrong thing to say. His throat jerks as he swallows hard. "I'm only offering company." He lowers his hands but keeps his distance. "If you want me gone, I'll go." "Company," I repeat, incredulous. He nods, casting a glance over his shoulder and then back at me. "The grim reaper wants to keep me company." Fitting, if nothing else. "A grim— " He shakes his head. "Yes."
