I enjoy that he is very flawed and volatile.#This episode of the audio drama has a lot of great breakdown scenes featuring JC - and they all deserve a feature.#But underlying this comic is a small meta comment of 'ah man I have too many comics of JC just wailing sadly'#My goal is to draw 6-8 comics per episode - I sometimes have to truncate and cut good scenes out.#Especially when a large majority is just different flavours of trauma and toxic relationships to your self-worth.#I would also like to make a note here that just because you lose the ability to do something that is very tied to your core identity-#-does not mean your life is over. It will feel like the end of the world. It will send you into a spiral of grief. It will hurt so badly.#Sometimes we do not realize how tied up our identities can be in certain things until we are cut loose.#You don't lose yourself. I promise the pain will fade in time.

I think this is the most effective way to show Heron’s vibe before she loses her arm. Sweet little lollipop lady who craves death and destruction
#I imagine her fighting style is very twirly and ballerina like#she LOOKS so cutesy and innocent#but she’s fucking deranged#I think she uses her cuteness to her advantage since it makes people underestimate her#which makes for a fantastic parallel in the present day when Scrooge is able to use that same tactic to make her underestimate webby#heron is just she’s bubbly and she’s fun except her idea of fun is watching people fight to the death yk#ducktales#Ducktales human au#LÙ Huifen#black heron#art#my art#digital art#fanart#doodle#drawing#ducktales au

Hello to the Buddyfight fandom it's been a hot minute but god do i miss this show and have been making fanart for it in the background so i thought i'd post to tumblr too ^^
I swear every year I end up coming back to this show and wishing that it kept going, that it got rebooted, that i could just erase my memories of this show and just watch it all over again from the beginning to enjoy everything once again from Tasuku's own sense of justice twisting against him to Gao's suffering of PTSD and how heartfelt it was handled.
There's something very special about this show that I haven't been able to find replicated elsewhere. It has the most perfect world to exist (so much so that i'd love to be isekai'd into it if i could!!!) and while i have my own gripes with it (hi S3+) i honestly sometimes wish i could go back to my high school years of watching this show just to relive it all again :'D
Anyways!!! I hope there's still people out there who enjoy this show even ten years later who'll like seeing new funny artwork for it!
I wanna add too that i'm hoping to create a rewrite of FCBF (ft. seasons 1-3 + Ace) or at least create more artwork for my interpretation of it and its world!
Because, sincerely, this show is one of the few that, for all its flaws, hasn't disappointed me in the years that've followed unlike many other things i've seen and i wanna try to keep the spirit of it alive while I can thanks to that. And if there are any fans still in existence who love it, i wanna provide some food while its once again in my orbit because damn do i adore this show <3 <3 <#
#it's been like a year but im back on my buddyfight kick again#and since im back feeling dejected about OC things again i might try and focus on buddyfight stuff for a bit :Dc#fcbf#future card buddyfight#buddyfight#Deathgaze Death Dragon#Noboru Kodo#Tasuku Ryuenji#Gao Mikado#Drumbunker Dragon#Sawblade Dragon is a funny little critter I made as part of Tasuku's deck in my AU that im writing#and the other two monsters you can just barely see in the last image are Gallows/a Buddy I gifted Sofia#because tbh Sofia really needed a Buddy#specifically a Star Dragon World one#though as of this point in my AU she doesn't have her Star Dragon buddy bc it doesn't “Exist” yet ofc#middlemost image is also an old art thing but a headcanon thing for those mystery kids bc i like them despite not being a fan of-#Sofia/Tasuku all that much (tho had more effort gone into the writing behind them i probably would have liked them tbh lol)#I mean who doesn't like the idea of a guy who was at her side specifically and worked with her to achieve the bad guys goals#ends up watching his precious Buddy be attacked by her which is what snaps him out of his corrupted mental state to finally realize he's in#the wrong#& then when he later meets her as enemies he suffers cognitive dissonance of both loathing and respect towards her which culminates in him-#holding a personal vendetta towards her while also recognizing her efforts as a former ally who helped him during his Disaster days#and so when he gets to the future and has to rely on her help and guidance he has to confront the fact they're two sides of the same coin#& that she's neither an ally nor enemy but a mirror to himself of what he could've been if he'd decided to take action outside of the law#i mean#there was a LOOOOOOT of missed potential between Tasuku & Sofia if the show really wanted to go down the route of implying they end up a-#couple in canon (ESPECIALLY compared to Tasuku/Gao where it's clear Tasuku cares deeply about Gao and doesn't give a damn about Sofia)#and idk i felt we were robbed of a lot of things that could have given chemistry between Sofia and Tasuku

do you think there was backlash from other scavs when chief and arti befriended and eventually dated each other?
i imagine that quite a few of them would be less than eager to forgive the war criminal
there definitely was a backlash, but probably not to the extent that you'd expect. or at least not in the way you're thinking. both due to how the cycle works, and how I imagine scavenger culture works, i think a majority of them were willing to accept arti being integrated into the tribe, if only begrudgingly.
first and foremost, because arti didn't kill anyone permanently. there's a huge difference between killing and perma-killing, so while arti's crimes were certainly heinous and left a lot of scavs deeply traumatized, the fact that she didn't actually take anyone away from their loved ones made a big difference as to how many of them were willing to tolerate her presence. as long as she was no longer an active threat, most of them were more concerned with helping each other recover and heal from their collective trauma than with trying to interfere with whatever the king had going on with the murder cat.
secondly, and for similar reasons, I think a certain amount of lethal violence is just a normal part of scav culture. obviously nothing to the extent of what arti did, but based on how recklessly they behave in-game, i imagine it's common for scavs to kill each other over minor disputes, by accident, or even for fun. so, the capacity of scavs to move on and coexist with someone who killed them is a deeply ingrained social skill, because it's vital to keeping their society functioning.
of course, there are rules about how much violence is acceptable in any given situation, and just like anything else, breaking those rules requires payback. scavs keep close tabs on who owes what to whom, so anyone witnessing a murder would have a good idea of whether it's justified or not, and whether it warrants retaliation.
for example, if arti had the restraint to only kill the scavs directly responsible for her pups' death, the rest of the garbage wastes tribe would have been like 'ok yeah, fair'. they would've appointed some new toll guards, and the matter would've been considered settled. arti's reputation only tanked because she went way too far, and started targeting scavs who did nothing wrong.
so i think, to the metropolis scavs, arti's massacre was not so much an unspeakable evil as it was just a massive personal transgression. she slaughtered an entire tribe who owed her nothing, and in doing so, she incurred a massive debt to them. so when the king suddenly took a liking to her and decided to integrate her into the tribe, that didn't mean no one was allowed to harm her; it just meant they'd have to forgive her debt once she paid it.
the scav king really couldn't do anything to protect her from this without causing a full scale mutiny. (and honestly, arti is too proud to let him even if he tried. she knows she dug her own grave, and she's going to fucking lie in it as many times as it takes to earn her redemption)
however, he probably did have to set down some rules regarding how and where her victims were allowed to seek revenge, to prevent them from all mobbing her in the street. i imagine the official policy would've been something like:
all disputes with arti must be settled one-on-one in organized arena matches
arti is obligated to accept a challenge for every death she caused
the challenger can either fight her themselves, or they can choose someone to fight for them
anyone willing to fight for arti may do so if she allows it (she won't)
regardless of the outcome, the fight will be considered a blood payment and the dispute will be forgiven
any unprovoked violence towards arti outside of the arena will be considered violence toward an innocent person
thats about as lenient as he could get away with being, and still be fair enough for most scavs to accept. so, yeah, there was a backlash in the sense that many of them wanted revenge, and many of them got it. but it was mostly within the bounds of what's permissible, and it didn't cause any kind of major rift in their community. arti was willing to pay for her place in the tribe with her blood, and most scavs can respect that even if they still don't like her.
and as for the few who still weren't satisfied, and felt the need to make her suffer more than she deserved...
well. lets say they got a personal reminder of what happens to people who hurt the king's loved ones.
#artificer redemption au#i am utterly fascinated with the social implications of death being temporary#so many things become easier and more acceptable but at the same time so many new avenues of horror are opened up#imagine having to pass ur own displayed skull on the way to work every day#thats what some mfs have to live with now#scav king has a kind heart but he does know how to be ruthless

I have so many imaginations centering og!cale in my mind. There's the;
Belle Au (og!cale being a secret famous singer, and may have talk with roksoo through the app when they're young)
Everyone but og!cale regressor Au (with the climax of teen cale finding out that all of their care are reserve for someone else, oh imagine the angst *evil laughter*)
Rokcale Your Name Au (im just stuck with the ending train scene but make it RokCale)
Also Rokcale Weathering with you(it's the notion of "throw away the world for you" that caught me in a grip, also dont you think that the both of them the type of person to do that; Lcf!cale be choosing to hurt himself over and over for others and og!cale who already forsaken a timeline with his deal)
Uncle Og!cale Au(cale transmigrating into roksoo's uncle's body and using his war veteran skill to FIGHT AGAINST FATE!)
Oldest Og!cale with barrow and roksoo as dongsaengs Au(just cale showering them with so much love that they dont know what to do with it)
That one og!cale saving Krs!cale Au(*cough* by sacrificing himself*cough*)
Modern Au where og!cale being the perfect joker ever, fooling everything and everyone(....and being lonely as hell)
#maybe one day i'll talk about it#One dayyyy#i cant write shit#lcf!cale#og!cale#lcf Au(s)#majority of it may or may not have og!cale's death *nervous laughter*#i have this headcanon that og!cale also think of roksoo as his saviour#i mean he is isnt he#but at the same time roksoo also thought of og!cale as his saviour#i mean og!cale is the trigger of all of this#or that's just me#shut up mind

the fascinating thing about the maze runner books vs the movies is that they're both tragedies, but just...different kinds. in the books no matter what wicked did, they never got close to a cure. it was all for nothing: all the torture, all the death, all the money and effort spent trying to cure something that was just unstoppable. the world burned while a few hundred immunes survived, and there was no other way the story could have gone.
but in the movies they were so close. thomas was the cure. they had it in their hands and could have saved everyone, but they were just too late. wicked was destroyed, the last city fell, and with it the world's last hope for a cure. they almost got the cure in time. they almost made it in time to save newt. they almost won.
#tragedy where it was all inevitable vs tragedy where victory was within reach but it was just too late for everyone. fight.#anyway i am insane about this tonight. good day#just watched the death cure deleted scenes for the first time and man......................................................................#the way all the complexity to gally's character was practically left out of that movie. what if i explode.#also the way everyone hates teresa for LITERALLY no reason like girl........god forbid morally gray women do anything.#honestly while we're talking. thomas is morally gray too.#he's choosing himself + his friends over the entire world. while teresa is sacrificing her friends to save the world.#two sides of the same morally gray coin etc etc. i will defend teresa until the day i die btw.#not idly do i choose my blog title.#but anyway it's just insane to me how much moral complexity and nuance there is in these books/movies#and how much of it was left OUT of the movies too. litcherally insane.#oooough.....role reversal au..................#tmr mutuals here's some food. i havent maze runner posted in ages but the brainworms are coming back#winter speaks#the maze runner

the only reason a togiri hannibal au doesn't fully work is because there is no world where byakuya would or could be qualified to work as a therapist. on the other hand i am fully inclined to believe kyoko could go full will graham, sweaty delirium and all, when the right circumstances call for it
#togiri#danganronpa thh#a togiri hannibal au could only work if. byakuya was just a rich eccentric#and all the victims happened to be other rich people who had ties to the togami conglomerate#therefore requiring kyoko to meet with him from time to time. during which he develops an infatuation with her#and starts trying to woo her through long-winded flowery prose on the nature of death and her role in delivering justice#meanwhile she hasnt slept right in three days and has been wearing the same shirt for two#this au would require suspension of disbelief that 1. kyoko would work with law enforcement and 2. byakuya can cook for himself#if i wanted to squeeze tonaegiri in here then makoto would have to be like. the equivalent of alana bloom ig?#he's kyoko's casual friend who happens to have ties with byakuya bc he somehow managed to interview to be his secretary once#and got all the way to the last round where he was talking to byakuya personally before he figured he wasn't qualified to work here#both byakuya and kyoko could be will graham but kyoko could also be a better hannibal than byakuya#grown-up kyoko with no real ties to anyone would be ratty and a little fucked up. she should get to own a million dogs in a nowhere shack

if bart and kon had slightly more normal childhoods (i.e. childhoods at all, i guess) bart would absolutely insult kon by telling him he has the personality of a high school band trumpet section leader. tragically, bart doesn’t know enough about high school bands to make this claim, and kon doesn’t know enough about high school bands to grasp just how bad a burn it is.
#rimi talks#like ig they could conceivably learn of band jokes via classmates#but its not the same and theres no way either of them is ever gonna be in band#they have too much superhero bullshit to deal with to worry about band camp#part of me wants an orchestra au bc i live for indulgence. the rest of me is just like yeah no tim and cassie could swing it but konbart? no#the ONLY strings au i could see w kon and bart working. is if kon is the most fucking obnoxious first chair violinist on the planet#and bart is the double bassist who wants to stab him to death with his own bow every single day#kon#bart

Ta-dahhhh, a drawing that took me too long. It would have taken me less time had I quit second-guessing everything and taking 3 hour breaks after fixing one line. BUT YEE, I ACTUALLY LIKE IT VERY MUCH. For once. (Also, shoutout to my fren, @paintedkinzy-88 for teaching me how mirrors work. It is a long story. Although, probably only "long" because of my habit of telling things 5k words longer than they needed to be-)
Now, long headcanon rambling alert. This drawing is like... the ungodly compilation of so many of my headcanons. I absolutely didn't need to stuff it full of things I believe to be true so wholeheartedly, but I d i d.
First headcanon: Ink can feel. He has the capacity to experience emotions, he just needs a little help to do it. So, he has to take his vials to experience something that many people don't even need to think about. However, this leads to ✧˖°.angst.✧˖°. Ink has a whole lot of self-doubt and he second-guesses his "emotions" all the time because, technically, his emotions are artificially induced. Therefore, by extension, does that make the emotions themselves artificial? This leads well into my second headcanon.
Second headcanon: Ink's vials are basically an allegory for antidepressants. Suppose someone has been depressed for a very, very long time and then they get on antidepressants. They might become really disoriented. Because, really, which version of themself is the truest form of them? The happy, upbeat version of them is strange and foreign after being depressed for so long. Is the happy version truly them, or was it the other, depressed version of themself that they spent so many years living as? So, as ya can see, the 3rd day prompt for Inktobertale fit beautifully with my headcanons. <3
Third headcanon: Ink experiences a strong wave of whatever range of emotions pertaining to a particular vial after he takes it. For example, yellow, he'd experience a strong wave of joy, happiness, euphoria, etc., and for red, anger, fury, outrage, etc. The little sticky note in the corner of the mirror is a reminder that it's easier to take all the vials together than to spread them out. If he takes them all together, he can experience each strong wave in immediate succession. It's exhausting and he nearly has everything taken out of him at the end, but the ordeal is less... awful than if he spread it out for half an hour taking them one by one. That's why the cup is there hehe-
The little pictures on the mirror represent happier times! :D Since taking his vials, or his "medicine," is such an uncomfortable experience, having pictures on his mirror to remind him of happier times and that he has people that care about him really helps. He can pluck up the courage to actually take the vials after glancing over at beloved faces. ;_;
The holiday picture actually has a funny backstory behind it; the three of them were celebrating Gyftmas together at Blue's house, but it was during a time Dream was still fairly new to uh, "modern day traditions." I headcanon Dream acts really old and after being stuck in stone for so long, is like... tragically so far behind the times. He uses old timey lingo, has a very bad habit of comparing his centuries old age to your common AU resident, and comes off as, "How do you do, fellow kids-" more often than he would like. As such, he didn't understand why you would "dress up" for the holidays. He freaking showed up in his normal attire and was baffled why Blue and Ink were dressed differently. They made a lot of fun of him. Ink got a new sketchbook that he's holding in the picture. <3
The other picture... of course has a backstory. I'm s o r r y, okay. It is a problem, I can't quit sneaking Errorink into whatever I do. That little picture is of a time they were hanging out together cuddling in the antivoid. Error wrote the little note on the picture to remind Ink that his emotions are just as real and valid as the rest of them, and that if anyone were to tell him otherwise, he'd fight 'em. He told him to slap it on his mirror as a reminder when he goes to take his "medicine." ;_; <3 Will I find a way to sneak this into a fic/make a new fic with this scene? Probably, but I'm choosing not to worry about it rn-
FINALLY. LAST HEADCANON, I'M SORRY- Some of you may have noticed the sneaky little Asriel hiding in the picture. >:) Even that has lore behind it! :D It comes from an AU I call Storetale that I made up in two minutes solely to excuse the blatant goat bro easter egg.
Storetale is set in a timeline where the monsters and humans live on the surface together in harmony. But oh noooo, one day, Asgore and Toriel died in a bad car crash, and they left poor Chara and Asriel alone. ;_; Not to worry though! Mettaton adopted the two and they both became child celebrities. But not on tv, mind you. Nooo, they became the mascots of Mettaton's extremely successful supermarket chain, MettaStore. The AU follows the two as they deal with their very odd claim to fame, as well as the fact of being children and the face of a multi-million gold supermarket franchise.
I like to headcanon that Ink likes to watch this AU because of how wacko and heartfelt it can be at times. He got the soap in the picture from that AU, branded Golden Flower Soap. I also like to think Ink introduced Error to that AU and he unironically got invested into it too because of the contrived problems it comes up with similar to Undernovela.
AND THERE. THAT IS ALL. This was just the ultimate compilation of all my headcanons into a singular drawing that no one would ever know unless I made this ungodly long post to explain each and every one in detail even though no one asked. ;_; I'm sorry for such the long post. If any of you brave souls read this far, thank you and I hope I managed to spread my headcanons further-
✧˖°.Bonus:✧˖°. Here is a version with alternate eyes 'cus I couldn't choose which one I liked more and then one without a blurred background. Now, you can see the Errorink background details more clearly if you would like :D
#inktobertale2023#ink sans#utmv#inktobertale day 3#ink!sans#my headcanons#star sanses#errorink#But only if ya squint#Like yeah it's right there in plain view#but the drawing itself isn't errorink cuddles#This is so wonderfully angsty I love it#Scratching the angst itch m m m m#Am I going to find a way to incorporate this drawing into a fic or compose a new one entirely#P r o b a b l y#By that same token; will I find a way to shove Storetale into a fic?#Also highly likely because I have gotten unhealthily attached to a glorified shitpost au that I made up in 2 minutes#Is it stupid?

How did all the mutanimals die in your universe, you know, so I can cry more after reading the Idw comics
The Mutanimals in the AU died the same day Splinter got nearly fatally wounded during the peace treaty.
Mikey would not find out about it until after Splinter's health stabilized and Leo recovered Raph's body.
The saddest part about it all wasn't the fact that they were taken by surprise, ambushed and died swarmed by foot soldiers. It was that they actually tried contacting the brothers before perishing, but nobody answered because the brothers and Splinter were getting attacked at the same time and trying not to die.
Mikey didn't even get to say goodbye properly.
#(for the ones who havent read tlr) pointing at the leo recovering part. thats specifically for the au because in the comics we just never#got to know if raphs body was ever recovered. In the au leo immediately went after raph and was#able to recover the body. he didnt make it in time to help him tho. he just got to hold his little death brother to april and caseys place#for more context abt how the Mutanimals died#karai basically sent a lot of foot soldiers strategically to kill the hamato allies at the same time#as they ambushed the brothers and splinter. she did not want anyone to come help them#a bunch of allies from the hamatos actually died that day. the mutanimals were the most notorious ones tho#ask#peepaw and babies au

Lan Wangji Goes To Lotus Pier AU: Part 4: Deranged Bedfellows
(Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4.5)
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#mdzs au#lan wangji#nie huaisang#Yungmeng Jiang training arc AU#This is the *first* part of what was supposed to be a much longer comic (LWJ's morning routine in full).#I'll finish the remaining part as a reblog to this post! I just think this is the funnier chunk.#Lan Wangji absolutely is the kind of person who has a perfect internal alarm clock for when it is time to get up.#He already has a dedicated sleep schedule. He is accurate within 10 seconds of 5am every day.#I think the Jiang disciples are most likely used to waking up around 6:00-7:00am#But the allure of having a guaranteed time keeper getting you up in the morning is worth the earlier hour.#I imagine they started outside lwj's door and slowly moved closer as the weeks went on.#Now LWJ has to cope with being way too warm in the night from all the extra body heat.#LWJ is not a fan of this but they scamper off immediately after he wakes up and they at least show initiative to follow routine.#NHS joins in only because he is a chronically heavy sleeper and needs this level of intervention to get up early.#His boldness would be a death sentence in the cloud recesses but here? Whole new game.#Yungmeng Jiang isn't a lawless land. It's just a land with different laws.#And one of those laws is to forcefully domesticate the catboy coded Lan boy through any means necessary.#Completely different tangent: I drew the thumbnail for this before I did comic 134. I then realized they had the same visual gag.#So I had to space this one out so it didn't seem like I repeated the waking up joke. That's my secret and all of you have to keep it.#And in my land the law is that snitches get itches (telepathically transfers hives onto your body)

Waking on Dagon Island
"I've no regrets... none... yet I wish..." "I wish-" "I wish to fall asleep in my room, on Berk, like I used to. And... And I wish, once I wake in the morning, to see my father- my dad, sat for breakfast." [...] "Heiress Astrid...!" "Can you believe-" "Gods, every time I see her, I fear...! I fear that this will be the time they call her Chief."
Value practice + Gradient map fuckery
Don't you hate waking up from a dream where you got along with your father, only to find out that somehow, while you were sleeping, you've found your way to the island that forever doomed you away from home, for better or for worse? Yeah, me too.
#Did I mention that this whole mess technically starts as a runnaway au?#TL;DR on how the au actually starts#Hiccup actually does manage to fly away without Astrid catching him#But after flying for a bit he decides against running away & tries to come back (ofc Toothless takes him to the nest as per the movie)#In the end Hiccup goes out to fight the Red Death on the day he's supposed to kill Hookfang#And ofc the fight ends much the same way#He gets picked up by stray dragon hunters at one point (*cough cough* Maeve pre-dragonroot co leadership) & upon fleeing from them#he tries to return to Berk#Only to find out everyone thinks he's dead#Sucks to be him I guess#httyd#rtte#hiccup haddock#how to train your dragon#toothless#hiccup horrendous haddock iii#httyd au#race to the edge#rtte au#work in progress au

— Emperor Charles VI's diary entry on Count Althann's death
[text: "My only heart, my comfort, my most faithful servant, my soulmate, who loved me dearly as I did him for 19 years, [we] had a true friendship, we were one heart and one soul, and we never concealed anything from one another. He will always be in my heart, [my] beloved friend..I. have lost everything."]
#this is like. incredibly niche.#but also hopefully a quote one can look at without context and still feel emotional damage about#idk. i think about this quote probably at least once a week and then have to stare at it and cry a bit#its just GOD. yknow??????#theres this one paper(which i linked) that i originally read as research for the AU#but i go back to it probably twice a month to reread it bcs im so !!!! abt it#i think its cause charles vi is just not that relevant but is relevant to me so to have this paper abt his personal relationships is very !#its both nice as ref for the au but also very interesting to hear about historical queer relationships/dynamics#the sections about him and his wife are very endearing as well#but god like him and count althann. im literally so invested in this 300 year old relationship#this is obviously from his death which is incredibly depressing and heart wrenching to me#but the other things he wrote about althann in his diary are very sweet to me#they were inseparable to the point of often sleeping in the same bed and charles called him his 'eternal love'#AND ON ALTHANN'S DE WIKIPEDIA PAGE IT LITERALLY CALLS HIM THE EMPEROR'S FAVORITE#anyways literally every part of this quote absolutely destroys me but especially how he refers to althann and then the ending#and its interesting to me bcs apparently his diary entries were usually pretty to the point#but when various people in his as althann died he would write these extremely emotional entries that are so </3#if you have any questions abt their dynamic pls i will talk abt them 🥰🥰 i find it fascinating#theres a book about his diary but its in german and 500 pages and kinda hard to get hold in but maybe one day!!!#also in AU contexts: althann and charles vi would be mark and seb so take that as you will 🤭😭#as i said this is great for ref but also made me sooooo fucking invested in him#i have no idea how to tag this#historical#holy roman empire#emperor charles vi#catie.rambling.txt#historical quotes#habsburg#habsburg monarchy#ah wow if only my german prof could see me now. fucking...habsburg posting. why am i like this
