woooo new oc time
Meet,
Sunbaked Finch Cookie! Based off a vampire ground finch!
Sunbaked Finch, much like the vampire ground finch, has a habit of feeding off of other cookies! Formed from a rather unpleasant childhood (trauma), this habit has gotten them into trouble before, but they’ve made no attempt to fix it, and will continue to not fix it until it kills them!
Friends are, unfortunately, not exempt from their feeding habits! As found out by Ventresca Cookie (belonging to @limboraptor) at, some point!
Sunbaked Finch Cookie, and will, bite anything that moves- whether it’s friend or foe does not particularly matter to them-
While I’m not too sure how Sunbaked Finch met Ventresca, I can say with certainty that if anyone were to be considered a part of Ventresca’s crew, they likely would be, even if unofficially! They’re about as looney bins as would be needed to willingly go into an entire hurricane for one sea beast. Although they are, of course, mainly going for the prospects of food, and helping a friend.
Fun fact; Sunbaked Finch used to have wings!
Keywords; used to.
sort of comic below the cut; warning for, possibly disturbing imagery? Not too sure how well anyone would take wing “bones” trying to break through “skin”. So- yeah look with caution?
”Hey, Ven, could you look at my back? It feels like something’s been pushing against my shirt-“
“Sure, couldn’t be too-
…baadd…-“
“Oh shit.”
“Huh? Ven?- Ventresca? What’s wrong?-“
(this is where that warning comes in.)
“….We’re paying a visit to a doctor.”
and now, wingless lore <3 Sunbaked’s wings were removed forcefully, after an incident where they were caught by another cookie in high power after draining some poor bloke dry of their jam. Sunbaked was expected to be facing charges for what would have been considered a murder, but, their, captor so to speak, thought of a different punishment for them rather than jail time.
You can guess where that went- but yeah, Sunbaked basically had their wings ripped off for doing their best to survive :D
This will all probably change at some point so enjoy this trauma while it lasts- and shoot me if this is too edgy for a cookie that looks like them ;-;

more screenshot edits!! it’s masters of all time in my au w werewolves this time! except technically the these can also be interpreted as a different design for jack/jack’s ghost form that isn’t just slapping ecto acne + plasmius onto there
no background versions + the og screenshots under the cut!
no backgrounds^
+ the og screenshots
#danny phantom#my edit#jack fenton#howling at the moon au#danny phantom au#shoutout to @theillustraitor ‘s dp refs btw i could not have done these without the phantom one#specifically bc the color of his hair is what i used for jack’s hair#also i know that jack’s half transformation looks different than in the first edits but i’ve also gotten better at this since i made those#i might remake the first one i made at some point idk

Extremely rough indulgent clothing design concept stuff. Trying to make their pallets clash and find shapes. One oc and one kinda oc? Bloodthirsty freaks conversing about swords.
1600sish inspired fashion for an Italian vampire and Japanese yokai. They're both around 400 years old. Clothing suggestions appreciated.
#if u kno you know.. i shant say more#my art#my ocs#historical costuming#always a fun sitting down challenge to try and make clothes for them#i think the ren outfit turned out good this time.#it's funny because with other ocs i'll just design them whatever clothes without researching specific centuries but --#--but with ren it's like no i gotta know what century the different collars are from. when tights started to be paired with britches ect ec#but i'm fine with the annoyingness of coming out with outfits for him. since it's fun#searching for notsess was hard too.. i liked using dolls as refs but too many looked too close to edo period for me

worst thing in the world is when you draw something extremely well once and you can't recreate it
#ashton is talking#trying to draw an actual good and official ref for my kitty fursona#and i can't draw the paws right-#i got them so good in my pfp and i can't do it again#(i'm also just bad at drawing people standing without any specific pose but that's besides the point)

Theres something so sweet and cute about being passionate about something unlikely. I love being able to help people love the things they love even more. I love shipping cross ships with my friends and creating scenarios with them that wouldnt ever happen because they are From Different Medias. I love just drawing and making people happy with my art. I love when people smile when im in their presence. I Love Making People Happy There is too much negativity in the world and i like to spread. my own personality out into the world. even if i sometimes say mean stuff. i dont mean it. I love my friends and my family and the people who like me and my art and i love my partner
#egos rant#not art#i love just...#being whimsy#And Having Fun#especially with my best friends and people close to me#idk what id do without them#i love . being happy#wish i was happy more often like this#YAY!#SWEETCORE#WONDERFULMAXXING#/refs#i love scag regretevator. shes my favorite yuriful robot screen#she and prototype should kiss. be yuriful together#this might just be regretevator!#i also have a specific cross ship me and my friend are really wild over right now. Goldbar#its gold ingot and chocolate bar. from PPT2 and EEE. they are so cute#i love them and so does my friend so we just do the greatest things ever with them they are so cute and are so compatible#love my mom too

Dear John Venomgaia, I hope this ask finds you well. For no particular reason, I'm wondering if your sona has a reference sheet. Have a great night, and keep yourself safe. Platonically yours; Jon Anonymous.
SO, THIS MADE ME REALIZE I HAVENT MADE A PROPER REF SINCE THE SONA WAS FIRST DESIGNED IN LIKE....2018ish? here's a simpler version of a ref that i spedran making to remedy that sjdjndjnsjsjsnnj
the paragon n pistachio styles are just variants, theyre the same dude. Sona lore is that he's an shapeshifter agent of an Elder God, and his job was to keep an eye on humanity and the species of earth as they progressed. He mostly kept to the seas n his preferred form is the "Fish" esque form. one day he goofed up royally and now as punishment, his shapeshifting has been limited, and he's being forced to do a bunch of tasks for various elder gods whilst also living amongst humans (instead of simply observing from afar). He doesnt mind it too much, although he would like to be able to return to his 48 foot long kaiju form under the ocean sometimes.
he has a lot of variants n these are his more common ones, but tldr these are all the same character/sona, just in different eras/places/situations!
but...why, pray tell, do you ask stranger? 🤔
#driftoodles#sona#specifically: he cant fully access his full kaiju form without a sacrifice of specific physical components. he keeps them in a charm#that he wears on his choker but bc it takes a while to make the charms he uses them sparingly#n when in his dog/werewolf forms he's actuslly still subject to chsnging with the moon. which is ANNOYING to him#and the ell is just a fun doting lil design just smthn silly#he has a monhun style form as well but its not humanoid its a leviathan shaped elder dragon#named tethyterus. hes actually somewhere else in here under my sona tsg#but was mostly used in prints during undergrad#his kaijunobori tail is from one of those prints :3#this doesnt feature his base paragon tail but thats bc it. literally takes up too much space skhsjhshjsjhs ill post his furry ref soon#chewing on you whoever you are (friendly)

THE BABEL BRACELET
This bracelet here isn’t just an ordinary accessory. Built to serve as a temporary solution until the wearer can properly learn the language of their choice, the Babel Bracelet works by tapping into the brain’s language processors (specifically the Wernicke’s and Broca’s area parts of the brain) and subtly rewiring it so that the wearer may understand what’s being said and in turn, what ever they say in return will be in the language they’ve selected. The catch is that they'll hear the words in their native tongue but whatever they say in response won't be in their native language. Getting a language programmed into your Babel Bracelet is easy! All you need to do is hook it up to your computer or send it in, and download the language you want into your bracelet! It only takes a day and it's quick, it's easy, and it's free! Complete with a hologram menu that can pop up from the screen for even easier scrolling through the languages programmed into it, the Babel Bracelet is made to be part of that next step to unifying the world. ...Or something like that.
#//using a pic of it from lambda’s 2021 ref bc i can’t be bothered to draw a new ref rn#//lambda's got an older version specifically one of the prototypes and he does kind of lean heavily on it#//but mostly this thing's creation sprung up bc i needed a logical way to explain why lambda can talk with muses that speak other languages#//-without saying idk he can just do it. you know? dbhnfjkdsfnmk#//newer iterations have a set amount of languages preprogrammed in but you still have to download ones you want to speak#//and the download time being a day is because you know languages have a lot of words so it'd take a lot of time to get everything dled#//but yeah! fancy translator bracelet!#hidden depths: {info}#//idk where else to put this so i'm plopping it in there#//im going to be honest i totally bullshitted the brain thing im not even entirely sure i got right but i tried LMAO

What are your thoughts about Mickey being asthmatic since he was a kid? (been having breathing problems lately, totally not projecting lol)
Like, how would it affect his south side thug persona, him not being able to smoke that much/at all, dr*ug use, stamina, other stuff, and changes in his life in general?
one thing about mickey is he will definitely be serving the cuntiest COPD symptoms in the retirement home!!
canonically, my mans definitely is not in the best shape due to his smoking lol i always think of his wheezes in s10 after scaling the gallagher house 😭
i have asthma triggered by exercise so i really have no clue what other types of asthma are like. but with that, i imagine mickey would play a more passive role in his familys antics, getting his cousins and siblings to do all his dirty work. he commits lots of drive-bys. no running in this universe bitch! im kinda poor and even spending the few bucks on an emergency inhaler has become futile bc it ends up expiring without getting used and i forget to take it with me anyway. so i think mickey definitely has the same mindset of "yeah imma just avoid triggers and if something happens guess ill die 🤪"
mickey is never beating the pillow process allegations so thats not very different from canon 🤭
i hate the idea of mickey being unable to smoke simply bc 1. smoking sexy and homoerotic 2. he would definitely chew instead and i cant handle that level of nasty redneck-ness 🤢
#went on a hike a couple months ago#forgot my inhaler. p sure it's expired anyway. but damn my lungs were ON FIRE#never forget when i almost died seeing an opera without my inhaler#also fuck steroid inhalers they're such ripoffd they're expensive as fuck and you have to 'prime' them before every use or w/e#half that shit goes in the air. $25 gone with the wind!#asks#shameless#shameless headcanons#oddly specific ask but im always down for disabled people projecting into their fav characters#this-is-estreyla#give my man some montelukast and send him on his way#smoking ref

I never thought the day would come where I'd see a callout post on a dangerous individual in the Warrior Cats community and find my art being used as one of the individuals' supporters
#im so fucking mad im going to kiss my wife so i wont be so mad /ref#genuinely though i cant get it out of my head uggghhh#i wish i could do something but now knowing the user is in this community#known for doing things specifically with the intent of making others uncomfortable#and not caring for others comfort and enjoying seeing people upset#how am i gonna ask pretty please dont associate my art with x it makes me uncomfortable#how am i gonna defend myself without being at risk of getting a lot more directly attacked by these rabid freajs#freAks#explodes#blog

what do you think of tone indicators in general?
unfortunately my thoughts on tone indicators are somewhat nuanced. fortunately, this is tumblr not twitter, so I can just write out my full thoughts in one post and be as verbose about it as feels necessary.
speaking as an autistic person (and I know there are other autistic people who don't hold this same view, this is just my perspective), I think as an accessibility tool, the extended set tone indicators in current popular use is fundamentally misguided.
the oldest ones, /s for sarcasm and /j for jokes, make sense. their notation isn't the most intuitive thing ("does /s mean sarcastic or serious?") but it's not too difficult to explain what they mean. I've had to spend my whole life learning by brute force what different tones of voice mean and what they change about how I'm supposed to interpret something, so I already know what "read this in a sarcastic voice" and "read this as a joke" are supposed to mean. my existing skills can be translated into the new form without too much effort.
the same thing applies to emoji and emoticons. I know what facial expressions mean, because I had to learn what they mean. figuring out if :) is sincere or not from context is a skill I've already needed to develop. it doesn't come naturally for me, but it's something I already at least somewhat know how to do.
most of the tone indicators in current use uh. don't work like this.
tone indicators like /ref or /nbh don't correspond to specific tones of voice. I don't have a "I'm making a reference" voice or a "I'm not talking about a person who's here" voice that I can picture the sentence being read in. these do not indicate tones, they're purely disambiguators. they clarify what something means without necessarily changing how it would be read out loud.
and on paper, that's fine, right? like, it's theoretically a good thing to take an otherwise ambiguous statement and add something to it that clarifies what you meant by it. the problem is that these non-tone tone indicators are not even remotely self-explanatory. it's up to me, the person who is being clarified to, to know what all these acronyms are supposed to mean, and how they change the way I'm supposed to interpret what something means.
it's, quite literally, a newly-invented second set of social cues that I'm expected to learn separately from the set that I've already spent my whole life figuring out, and it works completely differently.
sure, these rules are (in principle) less arbitrary than the rules of facial expressions and tones of voice and how long you're supposed to wait before it's your turn to speak, but they're also fully artificial and recently invented, which means they're currently in a constant state of flux. tone indicators go in and out of fashion all the time, and the "comprehensive lists" are never helpful.
in theory, I appreciate the idea of people going out of their way to clarify what they mean by potentially ambiguous things they post online. if it worked, that would be a really nice thing to do.
however, sometimes I imagine what the internet would be like without them. what if instead of using /s, the expectation was that if you're sarcastic online there's no guarantee that strangers reading your post will know what you meant? what if instead of inventing more and more acronyms to cover every possible potentially confusing situation, we just... expected one another to speak less ambiguously in the first place?
so, I on paper like the idea of tone indicators. I think it's good that some people are trying to be considerate by being extra clear about what they mean by things. but if tone indicators didn't exist, and people who wanted to be considerate in this way instead just made a point of phrasing things more clearly to begin with, I think that would be vastly preferable to even the most well-implemented tone indicator system.
also /pos sucks because there's something deeply and profoundly wrong for an abbreviation that means "I don't mean this as an insult, don't worry" to be spelled the same way as an acronym that's an insult
