Gregory knows he looks LIKE HIM in FNAF..

[barghest-land]

drawings from paleo expedition to dagestan, done right on the trip. sometimes messy when it was cold and rainy, but i won't correct it. i think it's cool to leave it just the way it was done, and not retouch it after. there will be more drawings later, but those will be done from home

Showing him off because I'm proud as hell

I think the doorwings are one of the best parts because guess what! I animated them

So basically the animations they have: Idle, walking, running, swimming, jumping, hurt

He was a pain to texture and at some point I got scared I'll have to start from scratch, mostly because I messed up the files and the textures wouldn't apply. Obviously in the end I fixed it because I simply can't stop winning.

His animations also got a bit messed up. I planned for it to be possible to run and jump without the jumping animation interrupting the running one but oh well.(Not sure what went wrong I adjusted the priorities correctly)

Also I'm thinking of adjusting the hurt animation to be faster because it's not as clear

Annndddd also have a regular skin of him I made. He's very bald though

It's just that I got too hungry and bit his doorwings off. Whoopsies!

Anyway 👋

what do you mean youre technically a detransitioner cause of terf bullshit?

it's a v long story but i detransitioned for a couple of years when i was 16/17, for multiple reasons but mostly because i fell into the blaire white/kalvin garrah chamber of "you have to be This way to be trans otherwise you're not real".

i was already Deeply insecure about myself and my 'passing' and i was led to believe that i couldn't want to wear makeup or skirts, and i couldn't choose not to have bottom surgery, and i couldn't do anything but bind for 12+ hours a day to the point that my ribcage is still misshapen. basically i thought that if i wasn't suffering enough doing 'feminine' things, i couldn't really be trans, so i should just go back to being a girl and suck it up.

the terf bullshit is because i'd seen a lot of terfs/detransitioners talking about the 'dangers' of testosterone and how it would turn me into a horrible ugly evil monster and how there was nothing worse than wanting to be a man. which combined with 'you need to fully medically transition to be valid at all' creates some very dangerous and upsetting feelings to cope with.

it also came from trying really hard to put myself in a little box before i realised that my sexuality/gender are very fluid and it's FINE for me not to have a label and just do whatever i want. when i was 19 or so i went back to using they/them (and eventually he/him) and changed my name again because even though i like doing 'feminine' things, i don't want to be seen as a woman.

tldr: i was conditioned by transphobic/terf rhetorics to think that i was being trans the 'wrong' way so i couldn't be trans at all, so i believed i must actually be a girl if i still wanted to do 'feminine' things. nowadays i am a transmasc who does feminine things because i don't give two shits about what any transmed prick thinks of me anymore.

(sorry I didn't do the full song so lil bit of a skip)

it's not perfect but I'm just a man - and I've super ignored the pain in my wrist to finish this cause I wanted it done before I would let myself sleep.

It's been 10 hours x_x but it's done enough that I think my point gets across just fine...

DCA's that I stole borrowed for this cause I thought it'd be fun to include some that weren't all my own:

Pluck My Heartstrings: @/pluck-heartstrings

Love, Death and Rollerskates: @/spadillelicious

We Can Serve You Better (nsfw): is mine

Apex Polarity: @/naffeclipse

Naga'na Let You Go: Is also mine

Celestial Meridian: @/pluck-heartstrings again

Not directly tagging cause of my We Can Serve You is a adult fic and though this isn't a nsfw piece I don't want to make any of the other creators uncomfy if they don't like that. plus I'm nervous and don't want to bother anyone.

Otherwise Happy Valentines day, DCA community!

Here's to another year of falling in love with the Daycare Attendant over and over again; we don't care how, where, or when (or what lets be real) they're always our husbands and we're all waiting, waiting-waiting for more lovely fan works to love.

Thinking about Sonic losing Shadow again.

At this point at the end of the 3rd movie, he's dealt with years of his life facing fatal situations in which the people closest to him have almost died. In which the people closest to him HAVE died. He was able to find the strength to keep going because of the support he has in his family - they cheer him up, they ground him in the present, and they offer support to him even when they're not with him, like Tom and Maddie did back when their names were only Donut Lord and Pretzel Lady.

Sonic had given a chance to Shadow, and on the moon after both of them poured their hearts out, Shadow accepted his offer to make things right. That is monumental for both of them, but particularly for Sonic in a very specific way: He was going to have the chance to BE the support Shadow needed to find the joy in life and better shoulder pain of grieving Maria.

He had done similar convincing Knuckles to stop fighting him when they first met, but losing their only loved ones as a direct result of living their lives with such immesnse natural power is a trait of Sonic and Shadow's pain specific to them and only them. Sonic knew exactly how Shadow felt, on both ends of the emotional spectrum, and it took almost losing Tom too for him to see it that way.

But they were going to make things right together. Shadow was going to help Sonic save the planet instead of destroying it, and Sonic was going to show Shadow how to live alongside his loss of Maria: to let more life happen to him and bring him joy instead of letting the hurt be all he can feel. Sonic was going to get a chance to actually get to know Shadow! Show him his home, fun out what he likes, push his buttons and be his friend. Two speedy teen hedgehogs, evenly matched and ready to race around the world for fun instead of a fight.

And then Sonic lost him.

How is he meant to cope with that? What can he even do? Everyone else can recognise Shadow's sacrifice, but there's not much more loss in it than that. He was angry, and in pain, and hurt Tom: just a bad guy who eventually did the right thing. Sonic was the only one who got to truly talk with Shadow and learn more about who he was, who he loved just like Sonic had, and then he was gone.

Another life lost to save his, and another person he can really only grieve on his own.

I think that's a pretty hard thing to have to figure out for him.

[peskytimeswithscar]

going abit crazy but:

a 3rd life au where instead of the cactus ring, grian and scar agree to live in this world instead, to make the most of it since they don't know if they'll come back whenever they die

it's a little bit lonely, but they make it work with just having eachother, they build with eachother, they joke with eachother, they live for eachother, when it feels like the lonely world around them is getting too much (too similar to the lonely fields of undead, too similar to the lonesome life of a watcher)

but at some point they accept life as it is, grow old together atop monopoly mountain, maybe they've managed to find another llama, maybe the fauna of the world has started to restore itself overtime

until one day grian wakes up and he finds that the already shallow breathing of his lover beside him is gone, and maybe that's worse than killing him with his bare hands

scar gets a proper burial, of course, the best one grian can form with his shaky, aching hands and frail bones

and after that he decidedly lets himself join scar, wherever he is

but instead of an afterlife, he's greeted with the roof of his season 8 base, in a body that was his long ago and is far more full of life and young than before - it seems he's back on hermitcraft, back with the people who's faces he barely even remembers and he's not sure of their names until he checks the tab list

he goes to check on scar first, his lover for decades in that desert, and well

both of them had talked about what ifs when it came to their memory and it's possible deterioration before, but now that it had happened, grian doesn't know what to do with himself or his lover- friend, now, who doesn't even remember his touch, their shared kisses, their shared history
