He loves his Lupara dearly very much!!

Mmm Lupara

(that one line he says in-game also in which he kisses his gun. Franco x Lupara is so obviously cannon c'mon)

Every year I will draw two of my Neopets I guess. Here are my very original characters, not clickbait, do not steal: RickRastardly (waah there is no Hanna-Barbera character with that name you are crazy) the Steampunk Techo and Barbierarella (I never even heard of Mattel… or Barbarella waaaaat…) the Toy Peophin who was painted Stealth first for the outfit.

Yes, I jumped on that train too!

It’s just too perfect!

Some albums where really made to tell a story. A lot of older albums very much so (Pink Floyd is the forever example, or some of the massive prog albums like Tarkus be E.L.P.) but also a lot of more recent ones. If you're not into "dad rock" a must listen to contemporary album IMHO (Especially because you're on the queersite) is In Love With A Ghosts Album Healing. Its 17 minutes of story in sound.

There are some exceptions, of course. There has been a surge of one-hit wonder albums sold through viral tiktoks, where there's the one song people like and 9 that sound completely different and theres nothing to tie them together.

But overall. Try just listening to a whole album sometime. Its quite a good ride.

please listen to albums someitmes youll be amazed at what an artists songs do when theyree in an order they made. for you to listen to. etc

? ⪼ Viktor, 25 years old

Undertale ⪼ Rune, 7-8 or however old Frisk is

this is actually my first ever dr. ive had a huge undertale hyperfixation (1-3 years) and i basically made an oc which was a self insert. it was also my first ever lore which was super complicated idk how 7 year old me thought of it. when i was 9 i accidentally manifested that what happened to frisk would happen to me, i didnt know what was shifting or manifestation i just wrote down the same thing about 100 times while believing in it a lot. guess it worked with a 7 years delay because now im shifting there! i dont know how it will go but i see a happy "ending" with the monsters living with me n frisk at the surface cause WHY TF NOT.

Kaiju no.8 ⪼ haha i dont have any info on them.

i recently started watching k8 and i love it and could see myself going there, but i don't know anything about myself there ദ്ദി(｡•̀ ,<)~✩‧₊

[stellastra-scribbles]

WIP (forgive the watermarks) - Late last year, I tried to draw Jayna Stiles, a half-elven follower from Arcanum: of Steamworks and Magick Obscura.

I ended up scrapping that drawing, but here's the second attempt, now with more layers! I still have another clothing layer to add and might adjust some of the previous layers, but I think this is coming along well~

The game takes place a Victorian-era inspired steampunk fantasy setting. The fashion I'm largely referencing here is 1860s fashion. If anyone has better knowledge of historical knowledge willing to offer critiques, I'm willing to hear it out!

(more info below the cut)

Here are a few of my inspirations alongside the old scrapped art from December 2023 . Vivandières and Civil War-era nurses were my main references, if that helps anything.

The colors of the dress and the hairstyle are directly pulled from Jayna's in-game appearance. I'm not concerned with how "ahistorical/out of fashion" her hair looks. I am willing to have some leeway as this is a fantasy setting and it doesn't have to be entirely bound within the limitations of history.

Layers Explained

1 - chemise + open drawers. I drew the drawers deliberately kinda loose so as to not expose her (the alternative was either change the pose or use "Barbie doll anatomy"). I imagine the chemise could be untucked, but I've seen some images where the chemise is tucked in.

2 - corset + socks. Since Jayna comes from a rather run-down town, I wanted to give her a rather simple corset design.

3 - trousers + shoes. Many images of vivandières depict them wearing trousers that went over their shoes.

4 - petticoat.

5 - blouse/shirtwaist + outer skirt + brooch.

The next planned layer will give Jayna her pistol, holster, a hat, canteens/bags, and any other accoutrements. Suggestions welcome!

Matryoshka Doll & Wooden Soldiers (WIP title)

— A Nutcracker Retelling

Genre: Fairytale retelling, adult fiction, speculative fiction.

Setting: Wintery, early 19th century Germany, Russia & other culturally-inspired fantasy settings with a touch of steampunk.

Summary: Clara Stahlbaum is forced to prematurely shelf her ballet career after a severe injury. Feeling lost and alone, the former ballerina leaves the comfort of her home in the countryside to visit the city and help her godfather run his toy shop while she recovers from her mental strife. After encountering a peculiar stranger with wooden hands who speaks of a fairy that can undo all injuries and ailments, Clara is pulled into a plot of curses, tragedy and lost personhood.

Themes: Identity & self worth, loss of humanity, defying fate, vengeance and repressed emotions, hints of unhinged womanhood if you squint.

Introduction & Context

Matryoshka Doll & Wooden Soldiers is a retelling and slight reconstruction of the beloved story The Nutcracker & the Mouse King, taking partial inspiration from the ballet, but is otherwise mostly based on Hoffmann’s original 1816 novel! I’ve been deeply infatuated with this story ever since I watched the animated movie by GoodTimes Entertainment (please tell me someone else watched this as a kid) and the Barbie version when I was little. I’ve since read the original book and been wanting to reconstruct the story into something new! Everything in this post is very much a WIP and subject to change as I develop the story, as it’s still in its first draft!

Inspirations & Vibes

Tchaikovsky’s music and the ballet (naturally), powdered snow, sweet Turkish delight, hot steam from the locomotive swirling in the crisp winter air, scent of gingerbread and mulled wine with cinnamon, winter wonderlands and peppermint candy canes, pastel baroque & rococo aesthetics, white marble with specks of blood, loss of humanity and sense of self, tragic romance, whimsical inventions, old fashioned toy shops filled with wonder, out of tune music box and other antique trinkets, freshly baked Berliner buns, the gritty and dark hiding beneath the prim and proper, prickling fingers on thorns while picking berries.

Main Characters

Clara Stahlbaum (23) she/her

Burnt out gifted kid filled with longing and passions she can no longer pursue, a romantic posing as a cynic to protect her feelings, loves messing with little trinkets and antiques and is kinda a nerd.

Hans Peter (25) he/him

Stoic, intellectualises his feelings, detached yet slightly vain, charming until you realise he’s not aloof for allure’s sake he’s just kinda socially awkward, but hey maybe that’s charming to some.

Godfather Drosselmeyer (52) he/him

Eccentric, mischievous, a bit sketchy but people brush him off as just a quirky old man, secretive, knows a lot and yet literally no one in the city knows anything about him he just showed up one day.

I might make a deep dive post about these characters to go into their psychology and development if that’s something people would be interested in! Deconstructing a character’s psyche is one of my favourite aspects of writing and I’d love to be able to share it. Also I know this seems very heteronormative as a story but I promise there are queer themes brewing beneath the surface here I would die otherwise.

im suddenly going feral over screwtio at 2am. is there anyone out there who can not only match but actually exceed my freak bc it's been like years since i last touched this comic series and i never finished it and i got so god damn confused by everything in it but i desperately need a girl genius au for this ship.

as far as i can remember the whole series is about insanely genius mad scientists and uh. aristocracy. and what happens when mad scientists are forced to have to do aristocratic things like rule a kingdom and get along with people. there's also just. you know. like 90% of it being wildly insane shit. don't focus on that, focus on the emphasis of the "mad" in "mad scientist" and look at the cool robots and steampunk aesthetics.

what im getting at is uh. no coherent thoughts, only the idea of letting veritas be more insane and smooch robots. im mashing the two of them together like barbie dolls.

*materializes into existence*

Hey there :D

Been geeking out over your art from the sidelines for a bit, but I wanted to say hi! Your art style is super cool, and I love the details you put into the characters' designs. Your Virgil & Roman (Sanders Sides) steampunk fanart you did recently? One of my favourites! The corset on Roman looks really fuckin' good, and Virgil's pocket watch has a funky design (/pos).

Just wanted to geek out in your askbox for no reason other than I can :3

Have a good timezone! :D

Oh my goodness I just saw this right now ahhh so sorry I didn’t get to this sooner but you’re so kind. Ahh thank you <3 I loved doing the steampunk and having an excuse to draw Virgil and Roman in them ahhh I was so excited to do it. I just am a sucker for dressing up characters as if they were Barbie dolls

have a good timezone too :D

wicked thoughts, under cut for brevity:

oh no. there is exposition text at the beginning. this ain't a good start, y'all. this is a very very bad start

okay okay this is winning me over, it does just look so joyful in oz, during the overture

why the change from "atrocious" to "uncanny"? seems unnecessary, and i don't think it gets across the anger and hatred as much - "uncanny" is weird, "atrocious" is bad

a burning efigy in the middle of the this cutesy little colourful village

the flash-forwards of their friendship........ guys why are you DOING this??? your audience isn't stupid!!! even if they didn't already know the story of wicked going into the theatre, i think the subtle "glinda the good witch is singing about how wonderful it is that the wicked witch of the west is dead, but has a pained look on her face" acting is an intriguing hook to get them curious about the story to come!!!!! "is it true you were her friend?" "yes... well, i did know her... (*flashes of glinda and elphaba touching hands*) our paths did cross..." is NOTHING. cut that shit out, wicked 2024! (of course, it's a 2-hour 40-minute movie that is the first act of a 2-hour 45-minute musical, so i imagine there will be lots of time for throwing in exposition dumps and whatnot (i swear i'm not trying to go into this with a judgement already. i love wicked so much, and i want to love this movie so much))

i do admit it's nice that the dialogue has a little space to breathe. i've never really minded, but on reflection the stage production is very... rapid

i really do love the environments. like, the sets and costumes and shit in the background - it really is such a fantastical world, cartoonish and childlike and bright

GOD cynthia erivo can fuckin BELT it. this might be telling on myself a little bit, but i was so focused on how stunning i knew ariana grande was gonna be as galinda (i was right, ofc, btw) that i didn't even consider that this newest elphaba might possibly hold a candle to idina menzel (high praise)

get the fuck out of here with ANOTHER FLASHFORWARD????? of something bad happening in oz???????? god trust your fucking audience

oh my god this fiyero is here to FUCK (and i agree with every person at the school also wanting to reciprocate)

the reality of oz such that sometimes people just break into song and/or dance, and that any given group of people can potentially just join in a dance number, choreography and all, without batting an eye - that this is just how the world works is a wonderful way of demonstrating how oz is just simply a different land than our own. much like barbie 2023

i mentioned before that i liked letting things breathe in this movie - elphaba's and galinda's scene where they dance at the oz dust ballroom has literally made me tear up, something i don't think the stage production did, and the ost hasn't

this movie is so gay. we love it

in the promos when i saw oz displayed as an actually green city, i was a little upset bc i've always been especially tickled by the fact that the emerald city isn't made of emeralds. everyone just wears emerald-colored glasses. i think that's a very pointed and sinisterly funny commentary on self-delusion of the goodness of a blatantly shitty government. furthermore, the green glasses were an explicit part of the show. they sold em with the posters. i still have a pair from when i saw the production in high school. i'm very disappointed that they didn't find some way to use them. they would have fit right into this movie. sigh

i do love oz as this exaggerated retrofuturistic steampunk land. that sort of thing was always implied in the book and musical but it's so cool to just see all the gears and cranks and steam and shit

i do like the cameos. i do not like that it's a new song that's basically another iteration of the expo dump at the start. hate it.

jeff goldblum is fucking inspired casting. cold take, but not wrong. love it

okay okay okay we're here at the end of part one, the climax of the show... please don't let me down, "defying gravity" from wicked 2024...

i can't believe they turned a 6-minute song into the last half hour of the movie. i can't believe i was fine with it. it could have been so cheesy, so flat, so pretend. it was...

good. this movie was good. still shouldn't have been 2 movies. i loved this adaptation so much.
