just some guy and his big smelly cat

[izuizzy]

excuse me, the little one requires your attention

part 2 is here

[yuwuta]

yuuta exhibits such previously abandoned, recently adopted dog behavior. incredibly anxious all the time, even though nobody’s out to get him or leave him behind. waits for you to return home or from school or from work excitedly, just to see you when you walk through the door. follows you around senselessly, hovering in your space just for the sake of companionship. initiates affection in prodding ways—starts off next to you, then a hand on your thigh, then deems it safe to lay all the way down, then slowly pushes his head into your lap. gets up whenever you need to get up, and resumes his position as soon as you’re ready. brings you gifts as a sign that he’s thinking of you, and maybe because he likes the affection it brings out in you, maybe because he likes the gentle affirming touches of a hand in his hair or a pinch to his cheek. rests his head on your stomach or his chin on your shoulder when he’s sleepy, stays there, immobile, and will not move unless absolutely necessary. sometimes he gets surprised when he hears you calling for him, there’s a moment of disbelief as he thinks “me? really? you need me?” but it’s very quickly overshadowed by this compulsive need to show up, to please, to do anything for you, which is why he always answers when you call. he doesn’t realize that he has puppygod eyes, especially when he’s excited or confused, but he does and it’s incredible endearing. very reluctant to share your space or attention after a while, considers that to be sacred and he won’t risk being let go or lost again, so as a safety precaution, he keeps himself right by you, waits for you always.

How many HK gijinkas do you have? Have you designed THK and Ghost yet??

Also hey your art looks amazing and you have some super creative and gorgeous designs, it's incredible, how do you even do it???? Your style makes them look even better too holy shit

Thanks for the question and the praise!

I have the gijinkas of the Dreamers and the Hornet (not very satisfactory, I didn't think much about them), Quirrell, Grimm and Saint, Collector and Marissa.... I can't remember any more, so that's probably it

I thought about the Little Ghost's gijinka before, but it wasn't good... So I've thought of Knight, Ghost and Kin (and little child Hornet) specifically for your request! (thanks for that, I need a boost for something high-quality) I hope I was able to convey how threatening this little child is

I had a problem with gijinkas vessels in the sense that I wasn't sure it made sense to make them human, but making them clots of emptiness was just boring. So now, apparently, the Pale King just like in damn Sparta dipped babies into the Void, and if they couldn't cope with it, threw them off a cliff or something

/which makes things worse, because now we are dealing not just with an Abyss of broken shards, but with the genocide of babies

The horns of the vessels in this interpretation are branches, like those of a White Lady, since she is their mother. (The Hornet has no horns, just a cap) We don't know how she gave life to the vessels in the game, but in the case of humans, she gave birth to them directly (she is the goddess of fertility and reproduction, so let's pretend that this is not terrible reproductive pressure---), so they have her features. But the facial features of all the kids are dad's, except for the eyes - the King's are light (and the Hornet's!), but the vessels are dark because of the emptiness. I think an ideal vessel should have completely black eyes, along with whites, since it does not need to move its eyes and look at the world around it. Just black chasms

Van der Linde Isaac - "CoS is actually a western" is such a concept ever since i saw somebody pointing that out i kept thinking about it

i rant about the redesign a bit:

so i went ahead and redesigned him to fit the rdr2 setting entirely, i cant give him a full on wolf arm, so i gave him burn scars on his face, that he hides all the time with a scarf or a bandana. hat in the back to replace the hoodie's shape. he is most comfortable using the rolling block rifle plus a knife. he would probably play a lot of five finger fillet.

plus, he gets his arm blown off at one point (not from finger fillet!! i swear), probably during the saint denis robbery, then dies during the guarma chapter, bc there is no way he would survive longer than that

also i cant have him choose sides at chapter 6 when i know he has blind loyalty

how do you handle genetics if you do at all in your art

Great question! I'm actually quite the cats genetics nerd and typically when I design my own cat ocs, I go for accurate, realistic genetics. Genetics in ClanGen don't _quiiite_ work that way though, and since I like staying pretty close to the in game sprite's patterns, I'm forced to do the genetics for SporeClan with body/fur shape only.

Since we don't have any SporeClan cats with two in game generated parents as of yet, I made a brand new clan and picked a family from there! I usually try to take a mix of traits from both parents, or go somewhere in between. These two parents here are pretty different, so combined with their already wildly different coat patterns, the siblings look pretty different from eachother. I hope you can still see what I'm trying to portray, though!

One of my FAVOURITE things to do when designing families is giving some of them a unique trait, like the fully pink nose Aphidpeak has passed on to Bubblingspeck, or the full back stripe that both Softrock and Jellyfishfeather inherited from Cypressplume. Also, when cats have parents that are agouti(ticked)/bengal but doesn't inherit the pattern, I still like to include things like the dark feet. I also do this sometimes with white spotting, such as the rings on Softrock's tail.

LASTLY, I do sometimes mess with how I portray the patterning.

Usually when I draw most patterns, I'll draw their underbelly colours with my regular brush, giving them harder lines. But with Softrock, I opted to airbrush in her lighter underbelly, a thing I usually only do with agouti cats, as a nod to her parents. I'll also often mess with just how much the lighter colour goes up (for example, Mousegrove and all her kits have a high amount of the lighter colour, while Dawnpelt and Minklake have barely any)

Anyways, I think that's all.... it's all I can come up with for now, at least :') Hope my ramblings are at least somewhat coherent!

I seriously still think this is 100% one of his honest emotions. Like. He was PLEASANTLY SURPRISED.

Baby went: 😲😲😲 WILLIAM!!! 😃😃😃

If you are THIS happy to see your enemy, then you're no longer enemies, folks. You are GAY.

I'm sorry, I've been trying so hard to accept Izuku becoming a UA teacher but I just can't. I love Horikoshi for the happiness he and his story have brought me over the years, but Izuku being a teacher is just bugging me so hard. I know he'd be an incredible teacher, I'm not arguing against that. But beyond the fact that I think Izuku himself would want to at least stay in the hero industry, I don't think there's any chance Katsuki would've let him give up on being a hero.

I think that's why Horikoshi at least made it a point in canon to emphasize that Katsuki especially was behind funding Izuku's hero suit. Because he of all people could not let Deku go. He needed him to be a hero. And I appreciate that we at least see that much in canon. But honestly I think Katsuki would've stepped in sooner than 8 years later and never would have let Izuku give up on being a hero in the first place.

I don't know at what point Izuku gave up on being a pro hero and started looking at other career options, but whenever it happened, I just know he must have spoken to Katsuki about it. Izuku, unreliable narrator that he is, probably fooled even himself into thinking that he's okay with it. That he's blessed to have lived his dream as long as he did. That his time is over. But Katsuki would've shut that shit right down.

Kacchan Bakugou did not watch Izuku spend 10+ years wanting nothing more than to be a hero, while quirkless, just to then watch him give up on being a hero because he lost his quirk. He would've called bullshit on that immediately.

Katsuki knows Izuku intimately. He knows how badly Izuku needs to be a hero. Being quirkless never stopped Izuku from wanting to be a hero before. There's no reason it should stop him now. And he'd say as much. Ain't no way he'd let Izuku give up on being a hero just because he lost OFA.

Netkama Punch is so fucking funny. Like, a lot of the drama makes sense but it’s also so petty in retrospect. Seyeong attempting to SCAM Heejae because of his old guild. Heejae fucking stalking, breaking into, and living with Seyeong for rEvEnGe. Don’t even get me started with Yoona and her recent moves. IT’S SO PETTY!!! BUT IT WORKS!!!

I mean, there's also plenty of common points between homosexuals and heterosexuals. They both fall in love, some of them really want to find a partner, others just want an easy relationship. If you fall in love or get rejected, there's plenty of your friends who will understand exactly what it feels like.

Your orientation doesn't have to be alienating. It all depends on how you perceive it.

(from someone who once felt like that too)

You know what, you're right. Your words are very optimistic and wise.

I guess I'm still hurting from living in a very homophobic environment. Noone around me can know about my orientation, except for the chosen few who I call my friends. As if it wasn't bad already, since recently being homosexual has started being punished by law where I'm from. I can't talk about my relationships, god forbid i express my feelings in public. It's painful - hearing about your peer's weddings and feeling nothing but hurt. And constantly lying is exhausting.

I've found salvation in my online presence and my wlw art, but I'm affraid the prize that I pay is the paranoia that I've started to develop.

So. I don't think someone who didn't have to hide throughout their whole life can quite understand that feeling of loneliness. I guess it's not being a lesbian that alienates me, it's living in a homophobic environment that does that.

But feelings-wise, yes. You put it very poetically. We are all human, we are all buit the same and feel the same things. When me and my friends start talking about our feelings we understand each other seamlessly and perfectly. I'm very grateful for my friends, who accept me as I am without me ever having to explain myself.

Thank you for reaching out and cheering me up <3

Quest Started

I think

Some people were born a shadow.

Destined to always be the second best.

(Love is fleeting. Love is conditional. Love is pain.)

Destined to always be the second option.

(Love is cruel. Love is a game of logic. Love is a race.)

Destined to always be…

…. alone in the dark.

….

….

….

I dare not defy the fate bestowed upon me, for I know it would not be kind. It never was and it never will. Ice destroyed all that I held dear, yet it is that same ice I had no choice but wield.

But the lights; oh how they call upon me.

So when I see a sun so incandescent—

The brighter I wish for it to dazzle.

You are not worthy

You are not worthy

You are not

ー I am not worthy.

“What are you zoning out for? Duty calls.”

“But Lord Tartaglia, your injuries—”

“Eh, I’ll be fine,” the harbinger blinked and smiled almost knowingly, “… Or would you rather stay in Liyue?”

“What?! No! Of course not! I—”

In my clouded chase of a disillusioned future, I have ruined everything.

“There is… no place for me here.”

Not anymore.

“…. If that’s what you think. Then, I guess you’ll be going with me to Fontaine.”

“Of course. It is only right, seeing as I am your underling.”

The two pairs of boots crunched against the stone pavements leading towards Liyue Harbor’s gates. Coviello reached into their pocket, habitually checking to see if they had their Delusion - yet their fingers brushed against two folded sheets of paper. One, they recognized, but the other....

“……?”

a friend of mine gave me this for protection, but i don’t think i’ll need it, so i'm giving it to you. stay safe and drop by whenever you're in liyue. i wouldn't be opposed to hire such a capable part-timer. the patrons will miss you. — your ex-boss

.... Should I send her a letter, at the very least?

........ No.

I'm sure she's already back arrived back home safely.
