This is Meeko, my superdwarf reticulated Python. He is very food-motivated and honestly too smart for his own good.

Everyone, meet Vhagar 🖤

Isn't she just simply STUNNING? Camera doesn't show even 1/10th of her beauty… She's a living rainbow! Such a mean wench, though. We'll need a lot of time together to work on that attidude. She spent 15 minutes searching for a good place to bite on my hand and forearm! 😂 Here's her, considering if she should bite into my index finger or not (she didn't in the end, she bit my phone instead).

Finally got this guy to a place where I'm happy with it! It's a tattoo design (upper arm / shoulder cap) that I can't wait to see interpreted by their artist! I liked both the full color and black and grey so here they are. I wanted to keep the shading relatively minimal which was an interesting challenge!

not to keep beating this dead horse (jk when do i ever shut up) but i do think him and laios yelling at and beating the shit out of each other was like a gateway drug for shuro. he broke the seal on saying words out loud with his human mouth now he can say other crazy things like "thanks for following me cross-country to go dungeon diving for me i appreciate you doing that"

Alastor angst sorta

it started as angst then spiraled

@berryghostbunny

✿✼:*ﾟ:.｡..｡.:*･ﾟﾟ･**･ﾟﾟ･*:.｡..｡.:*ﾟ:*:✼✿　　

You were Alastor's assistant when you were alive

You helped him run the radio show

The two of you became good friends, then eventually more

He would always walk you to your house as there were a lot of missing person reports in your area

You had no idea that he was the cause

Until you saw him kill someone

You tried to pretend like you didn't see anything and acted as normal as possible but Alastor caught on

He slowly got the truth out of you and once he did he killed you

Your death was the reason he got caught and sentenced to death

You both met in hell

You panicked and tried to avoid him but he stayed close to you even while broadcasting his carnage

He could tell that in hell you were a fish out of water so he proposed a deal

He would give you enough power to protect yourself from anyone and everyone that tried to harm you in exchange for your soul

"Why are you following me?" You ask as you got away from the public eye so you could talk to him.

"I just want to have a little chat, my dear. We used to be quite close after all." He smiled

"That was a long time ago." You groaned as you hugged yourself to give some type of comfort.

"Exactly, in all my days I never would've thought that you, of all people, would end up with humanities worst. Whatever did you do, my dear." Alastor said as he approached you.

"That is none of your concern."

"Oh, but it is a sweetheart such as yourself doesn't deserve this place but looks can be deceiving." He sang as he wrapped an arm around your waist and lead you down a side walk.

"I can't think of anything bad that you could have done to end up here and I'm just dying to know."

His prying eyes stared into yours, it was making you uncomfortable. You removed his hand from your waist and walked beside him.

"Why would I tell you? You're the reason I'm here in the first place." You said. You couldn't believe how wide his smile grew.

"I did not kill you because I wanted to. In fact, it was your death that led to mine." He leaned close to your ear and whispered, "You meant that much to me, my dear." The sound of static filled your ears. His confession surprised you, it reminded you of your relationship when you were alive.

"I killed my parents." You confessed, and the static stopped abruptly.

Baby girl Nagini sleeping right next to my PC.

You know you've spent A LOT of time with your snake when you can instantly tell whether it's asleep or awake, hungry or not, what it wants, and so on 😂

Bully sketch dump 3 + crops

I'm flying out so since I can't take my tablet with me I'm releasing all my captive sketches into the wild *magic hand gesturing*

(Thanks to @/bidisaster-peanut-romano for instigating Tad & Parker besties hc with me. I sob every time)

I don’t think some of you understand to what extent Zeus and Hera love each other

Hera in no way hates her husband, and Zeus talks about her like she’s his everything, like she hung the stars and shaped them herself

Those two taught me what love looks like

Alastor x teen reader (platonic)

short fic

summary: Alastor wakes reader after sleeping half the day.

✿✼:*ﾟ:.｡..｡.:*･ﾟﾟ･**･ﾟﾟ･*:.｡..｡.:*ﾟ:*:✼✿

"Y/n I've let you sleep the day away. It's time to get up." Alastor said knocking on your door. He could easily let himself in, but he wanted to respect your boundaries.

After hearing nothing he knocked a little harder and said, "Maybe if you went to sleep at a decent time you would've been up by now."

He chuckled as he heard your groan and the shuffling of sheets. You cracked the door open to only show you face.

"What do you want?" You said in a tone that no one would dare to talk to the radio demon in.

"Well someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this evening." He emphasized the fact that it was past noon, "I was wondering if you would like some tea it seems I've made too much for myself, and from the looks of it you need it."

You huffed and closed your door saying you'll be out in a minute.

Alastor had a little spot on the balcony of the hotel where he set up yours and his cup and waited for you so he could pour the tea.

It didn't take long for you to get ready and enjoy the tea Alastor made before it was interrupted-

"SHOW YOURSELF, ALASTOR!"

Thinking about...how Raf hates being expected to perform moderate-to-grand guestures or give things in a relationship [any relationship, platonic, romatic, whatever]--not because he dislikes doing/giving nice things for/to people--but because he hates feeling like that's all people are after with him. Upon meeting almost anyone, and whilst getting to know them, he usually acts very aloof and unobservant, just to measure how willing people are to just... enjoy moments with him. He measures their disappointment when he fails to extend his resources to offer anything grand or surprising. Also, he likes to see how much they ask from him, how they ask it... and how they respond to being told 'no'. And the more they seem to expect of him, the less he is inclined to offer. He does all this within the bounds of amiciability; he's kind, politely mannered, and tries his best to keep things fun and lighthearted, even if the vibes he is receiving begin to feel a bit rancid. But even so, this whole song and dance is a product of mental illness; "rancid vibes" arrive to him via the tiniest cues and guestures that are almost undetectable to most others, and are usually--often--not actually wholly indicative of the traits and personality types that Raf is trying to protect himself from. But...this is why he has so few friends, despite having innumerable "amiciable" aquaintences lmao.

In romantic relationships, one of the most difficult things for him to encounter is when he get the sense [real or percieved] that someone is withholding their love/joy until they get what they are hoping to receive from him. Maybe a paid compliment, a specific subject of conversation, a particular purchase?? There is a weighty sense that they have a goal in mind for this interaction that he needs to figure out and provide in order to "win" or "earn" the feeling that the other person is enjoying their time with him. He hates that lmao. His impulse, especially very early into the relationship, is to give them nothing more than he had initially planned to offer and see how they manage.

He put Margie through these paces, too. But Margie is so...oblivious and wears her love and joy so freely and expressively--Raf has never once felt like he had to work to earn it from her. She's never seemed to clock him for deliberately failing to deliver on any perceived expectations, maybe because those expectations never existed in the first place. And it's kinda funny the effect this had [and continues to have] on him--where it kinda compells him to splurge on her far, far more than he'd otherwise be comfortable with--just because he loves watching her lose her absolute shit [positive] over any extra little guesture he's able to provide. In a way, I guess it probably feels empowering. A nice dinner is nothing for him, but apparently, it is beyond expectation for her and will put her on cloud nine for weeks lmaooo. And even after years of being together, that same dinner will still make her just as happy as it did the first time lmao

He loves doing nice things for her and giving her gifts--because it genuinely feels like a gift, and not the fullfilment of an expectation. She gives him all the love he needs by just being with him in any given moment, he doesn't need to buy or earn that. He's not attempting to pour joy into a constantly draining well, he's planting flowers that'll blossom on the banks of its overflow, and the lushness of color is something they get to enjoy together.
