BACK FROM A MINI HIATUS!! I was busy w exams n all but now I'm finally free LETSGOOO

[mewtwoandme]

Ah, the famous debate. Personally, I’m not so much a fan of drawing Gardevoir with breasts because 1. People are usually gross about it and 2. Pokémon are the equivalent to animals so I feel like it doesn’t make sense for the females to have breasts like a woman, even the humanoid ones. With that being said, I actually don’t mind that you choose to do that for your style (which, even if I did have a problem with it, I wouldn’t go out of my way to let you know). It doesn’t feel like you’re doing it to sexualize Gwen in any way. You don’t call attention to it or draw them ridiculously large, unlike some artists. It’s completely normalized. I respect it.

I appreciate that ^^

I will ask this tho: Why are some people grossed out by it to begin with? I can tell you.

Because people have been conditioned by the internet to think that it's gross.

Now, it's not my intention to throw shade at nsfw artists. It's one thing to draw tasteful nsfw art, it's another when drawing uncomfortable and/or disturbing fetishes that are blown out of proportion, fetish art that I personally think should be just for personal "pleasure" and kept to themselves, but instead they share it on the internet for everyone to see. Particularly a boob fetish, which gardevoir are victims of, with people drawing big ol’ tonhongerekoogers, humongous hungolomghononoloughongous (sorry, had to use the meme lol), on them when realistically, they wouldn't even be able to sit up due to all that weight, imagine the serious back problems XD But seriously, gardevoir get a bad wrap because of art like that circling around the internet, unfortunately that's just the way it is, but as I said in a previous ask, I wanted to break away from those stigmas surrounding gardevoir being seen in that light. And I'm happy that the majority of people here can look at Gwen and not immediately think, "Oh my god! Eww, gross!" Or "Ew, rule 34 content!" But can actually see how beautiful she is and how wholesome her and Jericho's relationship is. I've had a few people tell me recently that they've paid no mind to her breasts and never even noticed them until I pointed it out. And I'm sitting here like "YES! YES!" Because in reality, it shouldn't matter, or get that kind of attention. People can look past it and still love her as a character, which is the point I've been trying to make in the first place.

Also, when it comes to the animal kingdom, yes, pokemon are the equivalent to animals, which I why I believe giving gardevoir breasts isn't necessarily wrong but more accurate. Gardevoir is a humanoid pokemon. Look at the animals that are the closest to humans: apes and monkeys. Female primates have breasts on their chests, do they not? In my own opinion, I think giving her breasts on her chest is a far less weirder place to put them compared to dogs or cats that have 6 or more of them along their stomachs, or in the areas where they're found on cows or goats.

- Picnic With Big Sis

Jasmin taking Quinton and Elizabeth out for a picnic. Like my previous work, this is a scene from a short story I have planned (I have 3 full books that come before it, and only 1 has a competed draft, so don't expect it any time soon), with this one taking place a bit prior to that one, with Jasmin taking Quin and Liz to the place they'll eventually cloud gaze at.

Also like that one, I made a 3D scene as a pose draft, with that picnic basket actually being a 3D model I made and rigged specifically for this! This gave a bit of difficulty, since Jasmin's Mannequin's hand, was blocking part of the basket that's visible in the final artwork!

When I was originally planning the scene, I thought about just having Jasmin doing nothing with her hand, until I decided to make her holding the lid open, so Quin and Liz could see. I didn't consider the fact I was now making the hand a focal point of the artwork! And when I did realize that, I nearly cried, cause I absolutely suck at drawing hands! But using a mashup of knowledge I've heard over the years, and some good guesses, I managed to make the best hand I think I've ever drawn!

And holly crap am I glad I decided to draw it! The sense of scale you get from seeing Quinton and Elizabeth that close to her hand, it really puts into perspective how small they are! I also think it's cute, having her holding the basket open for them, and it shows you a bit of a difference between Quinton and Elizabeth! Quinton trusts Jasmin, so he's fine just sticking his head out, trusting Jasmin won't accidentally smack his head with the lid. Elizabeth however, is a bit more cautious, not really trusting people as much as Quinton does, so she has her hand on the lid in case Jasmin lets go.

Something you'll probably notice is that Quinton and Elizabeth are seemingly frowning. They were smiling originally, but I thought giving them a mild frown makes them look more curious, which I thought was cuter, compared to them smiling. Though it kinda looks like they just realized Jasmin tricked them.

Anyways, I decided to not finish this in my painting style, since that was meant as more of a crutch originally. With v2 of Cloud Gazing, I said I was debating making it's line draft into it's own piece, just due to how good it looked, and that was kinda thanks to the "Painting Style" leaving out a ton of detail. So with this, I decided to finish it in my usual style. However, I did the shading differently, using a digital paintbrush, and doing it all on one layer. Usually, I plan out the shades, do them all on their own layers, combine them, and blend, which is really slow! This new method was a lot faster, and it worked wonders on Quinton and Elizabeth! It definitely has its flaws tho. I might end up revising this sometime down the line.

Something incredibly ironic, is that I have yet to shade Elizabeth's actual artwork! Meaning she got shaded in some misc artwork, before her actual artwork. Past me would be so dumbfounded if he knew.

Anyways, I don't know exactly how long I worked on this for, but I can definitely say it took longer than Cloud Gazing! I wanted so badly to finish this yesterday, that I stayed up til 3AM, doing the final linework, which is why it's a bit sloppy in some parts! This is despite me having post saying it wouldn't release that day, at 10 PM.

Hell, I wanted to release it so bad, I made 80% of this post last night, cause I was seriously considering uploading the non-shaded version! I'm so glad I didn't tho. It doesn't look bad unshaded, but the shading ties it together IMO.

-

Anyway, I don't know when my next artwork will be, or what it'll be about, since I'm a bit burnt out from this sudden art rush XD I pushed the limits of what I thought I could do, and while that is thanks to making a simple 3D as an initial draft, it still feels absolutely amazing! I definitely still need quite a bit of practice though.

Anyways, that's all for now!

[galakianexplosion]

At some point it just becomes a little fun

Just putting color there

And shaping it

Damn im getting tired- WHAT DO YOU MEAN ITS 3AM

I JUST REALISED I HAVE BEEN COLORING FOR TWO HOURS JUST LIKE THAT. WHAT

Anyways armors are still a nightmare to shade but its also a little fun✨️

Maybe my art style isnt helping.

Once my art has been describe as "soft" and it was really nice.

I love all compliments.

Also thanks to you all for liking my posts and stuff! Before my first post i debated for about a week on wether to start uploading here or not. I get really happy when people like my stuff. Because it means i must be doing something right and that my art is pleasing to some!

I also generally feel kinda lonely so i get happy when my stuff is liked in general

But thanks again

Why did i go on a rant? I dont know

Anyways im kinda proud of this piece even tho its not finished yet.

✨️🥳 im a silly girly or something

Nightwing #80 Review

woot woot i’ve kept it up for three issues lets gooo. i liked this issue more than the last one. there’s a lot of fanon dick characterization peppered in, but not so much that it puts me off entirely. also, i’m getting increasingly concerned about bitewing. but i did like tim in this one, very nice

look at all the blue and purple and pink. honestly at this point, i’m a broken record but come on come on come onnnnnnn. the blue and pink is very pretty though. this cover’s a bit offputting at first, and a bit spiraly, which i’m sure was the intended effect.

this is a genuine concern of mine. dick’s a vigilante, and he doesn’t have the same sprawling network and resources that bruce does. (even if he is a billionaire now, he hasn’t amassed the same collection of crime-fighting equipment that bruce has.) 

i’m not sure if he’ll be able to take care of bitewing. damian’s got plenty of pets, but alfred used to take care of them, and now bruce plus the rest of the batfam is taking care of them. as far as we know, babs only drops by occasionally, and the same goes for dick’s family and friends. will dick be able to give bitewing the love and time and affection that a traumatized puppy like her needs? i really hope so.

she does look adorable in this panel tho.

dick. richard. richie. baby. why are you shirtless.

you have scars upon scars. probably chemical burns. bullet wounds. weird fucking squiggly lines from knives that only psychos with blade fetishes use. no normal person has the body that you do. and you don’t think that showing up shirtless in front of the police is going to raise suspicion? you don’t think that the people accusing you of murder are going to look at someone who looks like they’re a fucking mob enforcer and go hmm that’s a bit suspicious?

put on a SHIRT jesus CHRIST it’s like you’re not even trying to hide your identity.

look at this pompous little princess demanding only the highest quality head pets i’d burn down latvia for her. (no offense latvians it was the first country that popped into my head.)

pretty boy pretty boy pretty boy pretty boy-

no seriously kudos to the artist here. his expression is so human i wanna cry. dick, right now, is sheepishly asking a question. he knows he’s not going to get into any real trouble, he knows that he’ll be able to talk his way out of or somehow maneuver his way off this mess. but he’ll play nice for the police, so he’s asking a friend for a favour, part self-condescendingly and part oh-well-what-can-you-do.

and his expression reflects that. rather than a stoic expressionless face most male comic characters have when asking someone for something (or all the time really), rather than the weird desperate supposedly “seductive” face that most female comic characters plus dick grayson have when asking someone for something (or all the time really), he’s making a face that i pulled like yesterday. or the day before that. it’s kind of silly, kind of casual, very much human. i like it.

thank god. proper (in character) acknowledgement for officer grayson. yea, fuck cops in general, but i like that they included this line.

obviously, he’s not talking about the actual criminals, he’s talking about the police force itself. the bpd was too corrupt, and dick realized that he wasn’t helping. not only does one clean cop not make a dent in an overall dirty force, but dick was putting his allies in danger too. not only that, but it wasn’t good for dick’s mental health either. he was spreading himself too thin, and surrounding himself with some of the worst of crime 24/7 did a number on him. dick’s got a history of self-sacrificing tendencies, and i’m just glad he’s not a cop anymore.

dick has a gotham rogues mug. they make gotham rogue mugs, and dick has one.

what kinda city looks at it’s frankly horrible crime history and long list of certifiably insane serial killers who are all still alive and actively committing war crimes and goes “oooooh yea imma put that on a coffee mug!” gotham, that’s who.

this isn’t important i just like how all of bitewing’s barks are blue

back straight, hand on his hip, cheerful smile on his face as he says he’s being accused for murder. love that for him.

they couldn’t have said “yea it’s complicated” in a better way even if they put the words “yea it’s complicated” right there on the page in bold red letters. literally all the love to the artists.

dick please. you’re KILLING ME what the actual fuck IS THAT???? WHY DO YOU HAVE A MUG OF THAT???

anyway nightwing collects novelty mugs confirmed.

this paneling is so beautiful. 

tim’s the focus, but he’s not the first thing you see. he’s placed in a way that forces the reader to drag their eyes all the way up the page in order to reach him. it us know just how high up tim is carelessly crouching, especially close to the ledge of the building too. i cannot think of a single better way to introduce a character, and this character in particular: you instantly know this is a version of tim with plenty of experience and training, is comfortable in his body and knows his limits, but still hangs onto that civilian awe of being in a high place and overlooking a brightly lit city.

absolute classic robin. i love it. 

this isn’t even that important but it made me happy. this is how you train surf.

you don’t crouch or bend over when you get to a tunnel, which is oddly enough what most people think (at least from my experience). you bend backward. that not only 100% ensures that you’ll make sure you’re low enough to make it through the tunnel (because you can see the top of the tunnel, unlike when you crouch or bend), but it also makes it easier to get up: all you have to do is push up with your arms into a bent stance, and you’ll be in a ready, moving position. from a bend or a crouch, getting up is more awkward and more slow.

on a meta level, i like that this creative team knows what they’re doing when it comes to the small, almost unimportant stuff like that, because it makes the action more real. (as real as you can get with a guy running around stealing hearts.)

on a in-universe level, it once again drives home both dick and tim’s experience and professional level skill.

regardless of who you side with in the “should tim drake be robin again?” debate, you gotta admit that tim’s rebirth robin suit is r a d as fuck. if i’m not mistaken, this is the same one he was wearing in 2019 young justice for a little bit? it’s cute and hella cool i like it.

remember what i said about human expressions? doesn’t happen as often to tim bc he’s a Child, but it’s still nice to note when someone humanizes him, too. (that’s why i love the duckboy panel so much lol.)

me, at first: that’s not a “good call” dick that’s just common sense

me, now: sprinkled throughout the entire comic we can see dick bending to tim’s instructions if only briefly, joking with him to keep the mood light while still maintaining a serious mood and retaining control over this particular outing. this implies that dick’s doing it intentionally, purposefully leaving places in his sentences blank and offering affirmations, in order to encourage tim and train him in things bruce might not necessarily touch on, such as social chameleoning and misdirection techniques and love/affirmation from a family member. dick is not only a loving and supportive big brother, but he never stops training his younger brother in better vigilante tecnhiques because he wants tim to be better than him. in this essay i will-

d o g g o

also bitewing is getting so many head pats today i’m living for it

look at him, standing on a telephone wire with ease. nice flex, dick.

also look at how he’s silhouetted. the moon’s full bright, bright enough that the sky around dick is light, too. (at least. i’m like 99% sure that’s the moon.) not like most batman comics, where it’s sometimes hard to distinguish bruce from the background, which is entirely on purpose.

gotham is a dark gritty city, and so is bruce. the two of them are one. bludhaven may be a bit of a mess, but it’s being portrayed in all these different shades of blue and purple and pink, that are all light enough that dick stands out from the background. he hasn’t been swallowed up by the city, and chances are that he won’t ever be. also, the colouring helps establish bludhaven as a city too. there’s still hope for it. the light colouring means that it’s not going to sink into a pit as deep as the one bruce wove gotham into. the whole point of this nightwing arc in particular is to turn bludhaven into a better place, and it’s (most likely) letting us know early on that dick is going to accomplish that. he’ll struggle, but he’ll do it.

so dick??? dick designed his escrima sticks with a situation like this in mind? he created his signature and most iconic weapon (other than his chatty mouth), with a built in feature that turns his escrima sticks into tim’s signature and most iconic weapon???? just so that if he and tim ever got into a situation where tim didn’t have his staff, dick could make sure tim had the thing that would give him an edge over anyone he was fighting??? he’s such a big brother oh my goddd.

also tim’s smirk in this is just *chef kiss.* a staff is something he can work with, a staff is something he wields like an extension of his arm, a staff is means that someone’s about to get their ass kicked because tim’s about to beat the shit outta them.

this is my new phone background.

they really made sure we remembered that hey, those first few months when bruce was grieving too much to be any sort of a mentor to tim and was still unwilling to properly train him to be robin out of fear that he would end up like jason, dick was the one who stepped up (once he got over himself and his own fears and hangups with bruce) and trained tim to be robin, trained him how to fight and flip and fuckin fly out there, all while changing his own style a bit to be the more experienced one in the partnership while still trusting said partner to hold their own, so dick and tim have a very unique and cohesive fighting style that makes it hell for anyone who fights them together, didn’t they?

[hermannsthumb]

you should totally do something with ksci janitor’s vamp newt it’s so just so good

i sure will! in a vampire mood this weekend. @k-sci-janitor's vampire newt found here. warnings for quick mention of drinking, allusions to sexy stuff, and also the different kind of drinking you'd expect from a vampire fic (tho on the vague side)

-------------------

The circumstances that led Newt down the unwitting path of immortality and general un-dead-ness are, in hindsight, honestly kind of embarrassing. It'd be one thing if he could say it happened in the pursuit of, like, knowledge, like the fierce jellyfish sting scar on his wrist leftover from a research expedition when he was twenty-two or the equally fierce one on his knee received in response to his question (at the age of five) of what would happen if I jumped out of this very tall tree?, or even something unrelated to his extensive biology career, something impressive, y'know, Van Helsing style, something like tracking down some vampire king and barely escaping with his life (un-life?)—not what really happened, which was little more than a bad date. And not even the worst date that Newt's been on, if you can believe it.

Newt was young and stupid then. He still is young and stupid, technically, though the former by appearance only. (Eternally pushing thirty. If he could've picked, he would've done twenty-eight, just before his handful of grey hairs started cropping up. Newt's had almost forty-five years of staring in the mirror at those four fucking grey hairs. He gave up dyeing them around the nineties. Not worth it. Still annoying.) He liked to do what young and stupid people did, like get stupid tattoos, and have a stupid haircut, and get drunk at stupid punk shows and not stumble home until he'd had at least one regrettable hook-up with a stranger and maybe lost his wallet. (The two were often related.) That particular thing was what did him in that night. It was a different time back then, man—if a dude showed even the slightest inkling that he ran in Newt's sort of circle, if you caught his drift, Newt fucking jumped at the chance.

(The band was on their second set of the evening and Newt had already screamed himself hoarse with singing along. He'd ducked outside in a back alleyway for only a second to get some fresh air, the club suddenly too hot and smokey for him to handle, and was just about to go back inside and close out his tab for the night when he realized he wasn't alone. There was someone—he was sure—lurking in the shadows a few feet away. He could hear breathing. He could see—eyes, maybe, in the dim neon light of the bar sign overhead. "Hello?" he'd called.

"Have a light?" the person called back.

They emerged from the shadows, and Newt felt himself relax at once. It was some spooky-looking guy he remembered seeing in the club, leather jacket, boots heavier than Newt's, dark hair and eyeliner. Tall. Newt remembered him, firstly, because he thought he was hot, and secondly, because he swore he caught the guy staring at him at least three times, and to Newt, that was as good as any pick-up line. He was wagging an unlit cigarette at Newt now. He was taller than Newt thought he was back in the bar—much taller, at least a full head on Newt. His eyes were a golden-brown, almost yellow, like a cat's, and Newt found himself unable to tear his own away from them. "L—light?" Newt echoed.

The guy stuck the cigarette in his mouth and arched a perfect eyebrow. Newt didn't smoke, but he did keep a lighter on him for occasions like this. He fumbled through his pockets for it while the guy stepped closer. "I was watching you," he told Newt, while Newt raised the lighter to the cigarette, "in there."

The flame danced and glinted against his eyes. Newt swallowed. "Uh-huh?" he said.

He flicked the lighter shut, leaving them both bathed in nothing but pink neon. A hand slid up against the wall next to Newt's right shoulder. Another plucked at the left lapel of his jacket. Newt was still staring at those eyes. "What's your name?" the guy said, in a puff of cigarette smoke.

"Um." Newt's leather jacket was being pushed off his shoulders. He felt his long hair being tucked to the side of his neck. All at once something seemed in snap in Newt—some reminder of where he was, and what he came here hoping for in the first place. Some hot dude was eyeing Newt up all night long, and now he was actually coming onto Newt, and Newt was about to get laid. He grinned. "Newt," he said. "Just call me that. You were watching me, huh?"

"All night," the guy said.

Newt's jacket hit the ground with a soft thump. A knee was being pushed between his. Newt felt his cheeks heat up a little—he wasn't used to people being this forward with him, and especially not in a semi-public place like this. Usually they at least made a show of offering up their apartment first. "What, um, what for?" he said.

They were kissing. Newt was clinging to the back of his jacket. And then he was kissing Newt's neck, and then he was—

"That kinda hurts," Newt mumbled. "Um, dude, I think your—your fuckin', tongue piercing cut me, or something. It's—"

It was hard to keep his eyes open. His neck felt weird. The guy was into biting, apparently, biting really hard, and yikes, that was going to leave a super embarrassing hickey that Newt would have to explain to his students somehow on Monday, but it also felt really good, like, Newt was maybe getting off kinda good, and Newt thought, dizzily, that he should at least return the favor before he finished up and collapsed in a happy heap on the ground. So he did.

The guy pulled back with a hiss. "Ow. What—?"

Newt tasted something coppery in his mouth, and he panicked and swallowed on instinct. "Oh, shit, dude, I'm sorry," he slurred. His voice sounded like it was a million miles away. "I was trying to be—sexy. Um." There was blood on the guy's chin. He was staring at Newt in something akin to horror. Dark circles were spotting Newt's vision. "I think you cut your lip," he said, and then he passed out.

Newt was alone when he woke up. It was still dark, too. He walked the two miles home, collapsing in bed, fully-clothed, just before dawn, and he didn't wake up again until sunset. He forgot his jacket, but at least he remembered his wallet this time.)

So, anyway, Newt thinks he can be forgiven if he...embellishes stuff a little when, for the first time in his whole long life, he finally spills the details to someone. Also, no way is he admitting the truth to Hermann of all people.

"There were a bunch of murders in the area at the time," he says, while Hermann, angled on his side next to him in bed, watches him raptly. It's kind of weird pillow talk, but their pillow talk rarely isn't weird. Usually Hermann will launch into a critique of Newt's latest pet theory before Newt's even caught his breath. At least he very courteously waited for Newt get a glass of water from the bathroom first this time. "Really brutal ones. Like, throats torn out, blood drained. Really nasty shit. Everyone was saying they were some kinda bizarre wolf pack attacks, but I knew better."

"Of course you did," Hermann says, running his hand down Newt's chest, and Newt can't tell if he's being sarcastic or not. (He has a feeling he is.)

"You bet," Newt says. "It took me months of, um, super hard research. Finally I hunted him down to this—" Newt debates the coolest lair possible of a vampire, and then remembers Lost Boys, which, even though he resents it slightly for totally stealing the vampire vibes he was going for, is still a kick-ass movie. "—this weird cave, where he lived. The king of the vampires. I won, obviously, but he fought back, and he managed to infect me just before I hammered the, um, the wooden stake into his heart."

"So courageous," Hermann says. He reaches up and tucks a piece of Newt's long hair back. Hermann being totally cool with the whole vampire thing, and maybe even possibly into the whole vampire thing, is probably the last thing in the world Newt expected from him. They're no strangers to hooking up during long late nights of science, but Newt swears it's gotten more frequent. "You must've been terrified."

"Nah," Newt says, though he remembers the glint of the flame off those yellow eyes, and he shivers. Hermann notices; his eyes, not yellow, but a warm shade of brown that makes Newt feel like he's being wrapped in a blanket, soften. If Newt could still blush, he would. "I'm��um—I'm pretty brave."

Newt hadn't exactly been planning on telling Hermann about the whole thing, but (last week) he had the very unfortunate timing of beginning a late-night dinner just as an oblivious Hermann strolled back into the lab to pick up his forgotten pair of glasses. To his credit, he only freaked out a little when he saw Newt draining a blood bag like a fucking Capri-Sun, and even then (after what felt like ten years of horrible, horrible silence) all he said was "You're the one who's been stealing those from medical?"

Look. Newt hasn't drank from a human being the entirety of his un-life, and he doesn't plan on it any time soon. He's...a vegetarian. Effectively. It's sort of the reason he picked up a medical degree along the way once he got tired of breaking into blood banks. Even if it's still a little ethically dubious to steal blood like that, at least he's not swooping around on unsuspecting people like that—goth asshole who swooped in on him did. (Newt's never managed to find out who he was—he suspects he was some sort of vampire drifter in town that night just to find a victim. And Newt just had to think with his dick at the worst possible time.)

Hermann tucks another strand of Newt's hair back. Newt also did not expect how fast Hermann became cool with the whole thing, but on the other hand, giant aliens are clawing their way out of the ocean on a bi-monthly basis these days. It's hard to be skeptical about most things. ("Well, it does make logical sense," Hermann had said with an eyeroll. "When you consider some of your rather more bizarre quirks, I mean. I ought to have guessed it ages ago. I suppose that's why you have that awful haircut," and that stung, because yeah, Newt hasn't felt like changing it up since the seventies, and why should he, it kinda rules? but he just laughed it off and said, "You're one to fucking talk, dude!") "Newton," Hermann says now, gently, "what actually happened?"

Newt sighs. Hermann always knows when he's lying about shit. "I was making out with a vampire in an alleyway and then he bit me. And—um—I kinda didn't notice at first, 'cause it felt... good."

"Mm," Hermann says. The corner of his mouth twitches up. "That's more along the lines of what I expected. That, or you were hounding him for details like a proper biologist and he got tired of answering your inane questions."

"Very funny," Newt says. "Ha."

Hermann rolls away from him and stretches his arms above his head. Newt watches his throat work as he yawns, swallowing down a sudden lump in his own, and he feels a surge of something hot and—alien—in the pit of his stomach. "Over forty years," Hermann says. He picks up Newt's discarded sweatshirt from the floor and tugs it down over his head. "You must get terrifically lonely."

Newt half-shrugs. "I guess. I'm kinda used to it by now." His dad (who never brought up how Newt's aging seemed to be at a standstill when they saw each other, not once) is long-gone. Newt's tried dating, but no one's ever seemed to be into it as much as he is—and besides, it's not like he could ever do the actual til death do us part thing unless he went against every ethical bone in his body and made someone like him. When the internet became a thing, he considered making a forum or something to find more of his kind, but the thought everyone just being like the guy who accidentally turned him in the first place terrified him and he killed the page before it even left infancy. So, without any better ideas, Newt forged some paperwork and leaned pretty hard into the world of academia to fill up his sad little hole of a heart, resigned himself to casual flings with anyone who seemed interested, and it mostly worked. Mostly. And then the kaiju came along, and then so did... "You make it a little bit better," he confesses.

Hermann lays back down next to him. "I do?" he says.

Newt thinks he sees something like that hot, hungry feeling he felt in his stomach flash behind Hermann's eyes. He nods.

Hermann suddenly kisses Newt, pulling him down on top of him, and then tugs the collar of Newt's stolen sweatshirt down below his collarbone. He drags Newt's hand up to press against his throat. Newt feels the erratic beat of Hermann's pulse beneath his fingertips, his heart pounding against his ribcage (pressed up against Newt's silent one), and he almost moans. "Have you ever...?" Hermann murmurs, gazing up at Newt through his dark eyelashes.

"N—never," Newt stammers. "I told you."

"Do you want to?" Hermann says. Newt tries not to gape. "Just a bit at a time, whenever you need. You wouldn't have to steal those silly blood bags anymore. And—" He hesitates. "I admit I am curious. About the sensation."

"Um," Newt says. "I—"

He feels something sharp poking his lower lip. Fangs. His fangs. Oh, shit, he's never had that happen before. He forces himself off of Hermann before he does something stupid.

"Maybe, um, maybe later?" he squeaks, while Hermann just smiles at him.

[ihamtmus]

i was tagged by @returnofahsoka​! thank you kam for this opportunity to go through my works :D

rules: list 5 things you created in the past year and link them.

sweet, let’s go! i have been drawing a LOT this year and i’ve explored some new art styles, so i chose some drawings that show it!

⚬ this character portraits set I drew for @soldier-poet-king​! it was a great Time of Improvement for my art style and i’m proud of how these turned out! it took lots of work but i loved working on these <3

⚬ this portait of my sister and her fiance (now husband) as characters from a jane austen’s novel! it’s a fun simple art style that i really love and want to use more in the future

⚬ this wedding portrait of my sister and her husband! it was a totally different style for me, i wanted it to resemble an oil painting or sth. i had it printed out on canvas and framed, and it ended up looking pretty great on their wall!

⚬ these witcher cards i drew for my cousin’s birthday. i am SO happy with how they turned out. textures, shapes, patterns, it was all so much fun! the jaskier one is still set as my cousin’s phone lockscreen :D i am a fool who accidentally deleted the original post tho, maybe i should repost it soon

⚬ this drawing of my ocs <3 i wasn’t really sure what to pick for the last position here but i decided to go with this one, because i’ve been thinking a LOT about my ocs this year and they deserve to be here! it also shows yet another art style, this time with lineart, soft textures and new fancy shading technique :P (also the art process!)

i was debating whether or not to link my nif exchange pieces but well i posted the new one only yesterday, so it’s still fresh. also, it’s my current header :D the two nif works are very much important to me tho (because nif is the best!)

oh and this is a great opportunity to remind y’all that i have an art instagram account! there’s lots of drawings there already :D

i tag @lukeskqwalker, @jaune-valjeen and @ramblingsofachristiannerd!

MX's style according to astrology

I don’t know whats up with my titles but let me elaborate. I will compare their style to their chart and see if it matches. The outfits below have their sign’s energy imo. Enjoy!!

Shownu Our papa leader is a Gemini. When I’m thinking of their style, it’s fashionable and relaxed but can be a mess at times lol because it’s too relaxed or too many colors, I guess they lack balance. However, gold for him, he’s got plenty of Taurus. This means that he is on point, very elegant and put together. So we have stylish and relaxed BOOM Shownu.

Wonho A Pisces. I’m thinking of something bohemian and relaxed, maybe bright or lighter colors. The type of style that matches a musician. However his double confused ass has a really versatile style but I think that this outfit is very Pisces-ish.

Minhyuk No shade but I don’t think Scorpios are particularly stylish (I’ve got a lot of it so I’m shading myself too xD). It’s mostly about being sexy and showing off your assets rather than style itself. I guess what I’m trying to say is that fit is more important which isn’t necessarily bad. It’s just that style isn’t your priority. However, he does have some Libra placements and they are notorious fashionistas. Some of his outfits are good af while others are what the fuck xD it’s that inner scorpio-libra battle

Kihyun okay there is a huge debate regarding his true sign. Technically people born on a cusp (the day a sign changes to the next one, in his case Scorpio to Sagi), have features from both signs. However, I’m pretty sure he is mostly a sagi and I’m listing his as such. He has a heavy Scorpio influence due to his chart but his sun is clearly a sagi. Now, sagis are considered very mom friends and it’s true, he is considered MX’s ‘mom’. His style is very mom like too, he loves jeans that are a big baggier, comfy clothes, big bags and some accessories.

Hyungwon Capricorns consider themselves fashionistas but it ain’t it. Okay, I’m shading everyone today lol. Sometimes their style can be over the top, other times it’s more business suvey. However, Hyungwon is never over the top and in fact, his fashion sense is among the best in MX. The only thing that might considered over the top is his love for long coats but I think they look amazing on his since he is tall with long legs.

Jooheon My sweet boy, his style is such a blessing. He does hip hop-ish, rebel bad boy and elegant with great success. I love his view on colors, he plays with earthy ones or brighter while still maintaining balance. Bravo 👌👍👏

Changkyun Aquariuses can be very stylish or super eccentric. Not that being eccentric isn’t stylish, it’s just not everyone’s cup of tea. Changkyun is more stylish, grudgy tho. It’s obvious that he is an emo (lol), and listens to alternative rock etc. through his style. He shows off what he is through the way he dresses. A true Aquarius since they pay a lot of attention on self expression. One of the best fashion sense in MX too!

Cameras and Dead News - Emilie Agreste Is Missing - Fic

Adrien is Rocking Some Shades From The ‘90s. 

I got the idea from a post, that I can’t find- lucky me. But basically, Gabriel doesn’t go out after Emilie’s death/disappearance so the paparazzi couldn’t ask him questions. Do you guys know who still leaves the house tho... Adrien.

Just imagine how that would go. A kid missing his mom, forced to hear questions about her disappearance. 

(Found the post, it was @chloe-is-a-lesbeean. Buzz Buzz, Bitches --> the post) 

hope everyone is alright as we handle these COVID-19 shutdowns. 

-----

“Damn,” The young flim-maker sighed before folding the newspaper in his hands. 

His lips pursed together in thought, not knowing how to feel or to even believe what he was reading. All while he sat in a cafe, one that’s tucked under the shade of another building, his friend gladly munched on the breakfast they ordered. He hasn’t touched his plate since he got there and the other has been debating with their wallet if they should order another coffee for the trip back to the studio. Idly slouching on the bean-bag as he sat rigid against his wooden chair, gripping the paper in his hand. 

 He’s a small artist in the north of town, who sleeps on his friend’s couch because art doesn’t sell, not at a price that will pay for rent, only for that of a good breakfast and lost dinner. Only known underground for his camera and his good eye for color, but never really having any real connections to the silver screen nor the crowds usually involved painting on it, but he was one of the many victims that a certain star carried her influence over. You had to be living under a rock to not know the blonde, the one who fostered a new generation of artists under her wing and films. 

Even though this director didn’t know her personally, it didn’t stop the heavy stiffness from setting gently on his chest. Wondering if he should even take this headline to heart. 

Hell, he’s unsure if what he was reading was even true or just another clickbait story. Shaking off the bitter feelings just in case this was fake. A stunt pulled by some hot-shot manager or rowdy marketing team. 

If so, it’s utter bullshit to write an article like that just to sell crates full of print. 

It wasn’t until his friend noticed the cold and untouched coffee, that they raised their eyebrow and nodded their head to him to speak up. Yet, the director didn’t talk, only giving a heavy sigh before passing the newspaper down. They, an able writer and a genuine friend willing to give up a couch, hastily sucked the syrup off their fingers and wiped their sticky hands on their loose denim jeans before taking the press in their hand. 

Licking the sweet cream off their lips from their breakfast before staring hard at the page. 

Suddenly that bagel on the white clean platter didn’t seem so appetizing. The cream cheese turned bland and the orange juice after-taste went sour and disgusted their taste buds. 

“. . .Wow.” 

Quickly after that, the two flipped to the main article inside. Scanning the black text to see if this could even be true. Their fingers pinched the press a little tighter as their hands got clammy.  Swiftly scanning to see if there was any reason to believe the bold headline that was selling fast in Paris. 

           EMILIE AGRESTE MISSING            A STAR NOW DIMMING...?

From her famous production skills to her unforgettable acting, along with her hand in public service with the Mayor and to aid the City of Paris, her strong love for the arts and her endless funding for them, and her infinite support towards the young creators in Paris- Emilie Agreste was famous and known around for not only her marriage but her character. 

She’s the very reason that so many got their chance and felt like they could make it in a field that seemed impossible to touch. 

Agreste, along with being caring, she was talented in so many ways.  She had the audience in the palm of her hand when she played the sickly lover to the crazed workaholic on the screen. When she shed a tear, the spectators wept with her. When she smiled, the world seemed fine and the sun always shined. When she sighed at the sky, people wondered what she was daydreaming about. Her name was used in tv shows and other movies, as an homage to her and to her fame. 

The blonde really was Paris’ muse. 

Emilie Agreste, an icon that was thought to never fade from the minds of Parisians or from their headlines. 

This proved more true when people just wanted to know more as the news traveled further and further in France. All everyone wanted to hear, read, or watch were the updates on this case or the basic details that the public has access to. 

Where was her last known location?  

What could be the cause of this? 

Why did this happen?

How could this happen in the first place? 

Then the one that astonished everyone. 

Where is she now? 

‘What happened to Emilie Agreste?’ became the most searched thing in Paris in under 24 hours. 

The world faced the media for answers and clarification, but they too were speechless. Even the journalists notorious for finding the small secrets from cheating scandals,  friendship drama, secret pregnancies or always managed to know an inside-source for everything— 

They too came dry.

Not with a drop of gossip or a hint of rumors. 

All that there was, was the police report filed days ago by her husband, who seems to disappear from the public eye as his wife did from the earth. 

Calls to interview him went unanswered. Emails for a comment on this situation got clicked and dragged to the trash bin. Cameras that waited outside the mansion,  like starving lions waiting for the picture-perfect prey, only got a snap of the maids taking out the trash. The Agreste fashion-shows, ones that were planned months ago, were canceled the day before they took place. The spring collection had to be pushed back before releasing the photos to the magazines weeks later. 

No one could get the details of Parisian Darling and that didn’t change no matter how much the reporters bid for the voices of assistants and maids to speak on the matter. 

The only person out in public and with a tight connection with the Agreste was Emilie’s one and only child.

Adrien Agreste. 

Blossoming model to the Agreste Brand a few months back and the only Agreste that would step out to the sun to go to his fencing lesson and photoshoots. The reason the gates opened again was to only to let in his Chinese tutors or piano instructor. Then, the gates would shut again when he stayed in his rooms for hours on end. Not really a public face until his father released his anticipated winter collection last year, all with the teen as the front cover of every fashion magazine advertising it.

And man, was it well received. 

There were times where Adrien had to be shielded from the press by his bodyguards to get to his fencing competition. Deciding early on to take his Chinese lessons at home instead of going off to the university for his studies when he got pestered by hidden paparazzi and nosey students. 

Reporters, photographers, and the curious were hot on his heels as they shouted things to make him turn around, to get a reaction. Anything to make their salary bigger.  Anything to put on a tabloid. Anything to print on the press. Anything to get something that sells. 

“Is your mother dead?”

“Is it true that there is a ransom note at Emilie’s last known location?” 

“Do you think your mother left with her own will and didn’t disappear?” 

“Adrien, do you think that your mother left willing or is this just a stunt for the new film with Grand-”

“-How is your father dealing with this situation?” 

“ADRIEN, turn around! Tell the public what they were waiting to hear!” 

“Is Gabrial Agreste so disheartened that he can’t step out? Should we still expect the fall collection with-” 

“What is the police saying about your mother’s case?” 

“Are there any new leads about her disappearance?” 

“Adrien, what do you think of this situation?!” 

The heir to the Agreste Brand, the name and legacy stopped in his tracks on the stone staircase. 

It’s a sunny morning out, so his hair managed to glimmer nicely thanks to the sun’s rays. It was also an excuse to wear sunglasses, to pull a curtain over his face so no one could dare to notice how much he wanted to cry. Covering the bags under his eyes and shielding them away from the bright lights since his eyes got more delicate the longer he went without sleep. 

But no one would see that. All they would point out would be the fact his shades are his dad’s old collection from the ’90s. 

They wouldn’t see how he picks his lips because he can’t tap his toes against the marble floors in his house without creating an echo that makes him feel more alone. 

But no one would see that. They would just ask what his lip care routine or if he used any innovative k-beauty products to keep them that shade of pinky-red or that glossy. Totally not the ointment that keeps them from bleeding. 

He would come to practice in all grey or wear minimalistic clothes because he doesn’t want to think about how to match the patterns or the fact it felt so wrong being so bitter when wearing mustard yellow or baby blue. 

But no one would notice the reason for his monochrome wardrobe and call it a new style for the summer. 

Taking little ways he showed his grief when everyone seemed to move too fast. Adrien barely felt the ground under his feet as Natalie changed the times for his lunch again to fit another appointment and meeting. 

Processing the last time he saw his mom before he got asked for another interview on her disappearance. 

How the little interactions and moments popped into his head only to taunt him. The way she stirred her tea, how she comforted him that one time he fell on the concrete, how she always got a plate of cut fruit for him when he was studying, then how she winked at him and said, “Let me talk to your father. He’ll come around,” whenever Adrien asked to go out but there was some hesitation, or how his mother managed to make even the scariest things seem not so scary in the end. 

So to answer that question, he didn’t know.

 Everything was growing out of place in his life but it was in an excepted way. His father was never a man of conversation but became one secluded in isolation without his mother pulling him in with her words out of his cave and keeping him sitting by the dinner table. Adrien didn’t even know if his father locked himself in his large office and buried himself in work or if he still in his parent’s room- trying to process what’s going on. Adrien has been out of the house so much that he doesn’t even know if he left his bedroom the way it is or the maids cleaned up when he was gone, not knowing if his game is still paused at this point. 

 It also just hit him on that nice, sunny day that he may have lost the ability to say ‘parents’ when only one is currently at home. 

As hungry reporters encroached the teen, Gorilla shoved them back and away. Setting his palm on the young Agreste’s back to urge him to keep moving. Only getting a nod, letting a few seconds pass before he hurried up the staircase and into his lessons.

I'm seriously digging Halocene lately, esp their cover of "bury a friend." Have you ever sex texted? This is gonna sound so stupid, but I'm actually not *totally* sure what that is?

A year and a half (I think?) ago to visit Sara. What was your favorite TV show last year? I didn't *really* have one, at least not actively. Like I didn't devoutly watch anything.

Have you ever been to Hooters before? No. When's the last time you tripped? (Literally or, you know) HA, funny I take this survey today because my left foot is either broken or I seriously tore a ligament in it because I fell yesterday. I had to go up a dose on my medication that helps my nightmares, but it's notoriously for lowering your blood pressure, and mine is naturally low. I got up to go to the bathroom and grab breakfast and many times nearly passed out from being so dizzy until I finally fell and my foot bent forward. I couldn't even walk by myself yesterday and am still really struggling today. Our family friend brought the boot she wore when she broke her foot over just a while ago, but if this doesn't help, Mom's demanding I go to the ER. Can you touch your toes? I don't know HOW I can, but I can, I guess from when I did yoga daily and I could pretty much go under my feet. What would you say is the best feeling in the world? Being in love and knowing they're in love with you, too. Have you ever “spoken” to any celebrities via Twitter? No. Do you like croissants? YESSSSSSSSSSS. Do you get a lot of traffic outside your house or not? Yes. Mom explained to me why one day because I'd asked, but idr what she said. Do you eat cereal bars? No, I'm a granola bar person. Would you consider yourself healthy? Uh no. Assuming you could speak and understand the language, would you ever study in a foreign, non-English speaking country? Sure, for like a year or so! Doing that in Germany would be amazing. Are you on any prescribed medication? A lot. Do you know any immigrants? I know an illegal one that got deported. I probably know others. Have you ever lived in university or college accommodation before? No. If you haven’t already, are you scared of leaving home? If you have, do you like it? Very scared. I'm just very dependent and ignorant on how to be an adult. If you could only eat one vegetable for a year (not including potatoes) what would it be? Broccoli. Do you have a certain routine in the bath or shower? What is it? Shave, shampoo, facial scrub, this exfoliating brush for your feet, and then body wash. Is there anything that you loved a year ago but just can’t stand now? Hm. I don't really know. What’s the weirdest meat you’ve ever eaten? I took the SMALLEST bite out of it because I couldn't stomach eating it, but after a lot of convincing I tried a microscopic bit out of deer jerky. If you smoke, what brand of cigarettes do you smoke? If you don’t, have you ever tried? Don't smoke and don't want to. Do you like dried fruit at all? what’s your favorite type? NOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

[dyrwoodan]

A, C, M, R, S for evan!

A: Aptitude

1. what are your oc’s natural abilities, things they’ve been doing since young?

evan’s been always good at studying and learning new things. even when he was a kid he would read books way beyond his peers’ reading level. he’s always been very focused and determined when it came to learning. which lead to him being a bit of a workaholic later in life maybe idk how to finish this answer i feel like i’m just throwing some words here. moving on.

3. what abilities do they have that they’ve worked for?

ok let’s just get this straight- evan doesn’t really have any.. special abilities. but it’s safe to say he’s worked for everything he’s achieved. yes he is priviliged and wealthy and he would bribe his way out of things/trouble often but he never bought his way in. as in, he did work hard for the title of natural philosopher, he worked to be accepted into the university, he worked for all that he is now.

4. what things are they bad at?

like,, everythig else that doesn’t involve something scholarly, research or digging in books. he doesn’t know how to fight physically, but he can destroy people verbally or with other means. he doesn’t know how to cook either? he’s used to having a personal cook and other people cooking for him. he is also bad at empathy, compassion and treating people with kindness?

5. what is their most impressive talent?

he knows how to play the piano, he composes music and writes poetry. something almost no one knows about him.

C: Comfort

1. how do they sit in a chair?

he usually sits like a normal person, back straight, legs either stretched in front of him or crossed. when he is comfe tho he lounges in an armchair with his legs hanging over one armrest and leaning with his back on the other.

2. in what position do they sleep?

usually on his back. not like a starfish, more of a coffin style.

3. what is their ideal comfort day?

oh just probably doing absolutely nothing or at least doing something chill. he is very social and very obsessive with his work so if he is not researching or working on something he attends social banquets and such. and he loves all of that but on the other hand an ideal comfort day would be just… chillin. taking a walk on the coast with nate, maybe swimming in the ocean, sitting in a nice shade, going on a date dinner somewhere secluded.

4. what is their major comfort food? why?

bastillian figs and pears dipped in chocolate. it’s more of a dessert but whatever. figs remind him of serkonos and of home… as much as he hates it he still finds figs somehow comforting. especially while travelling and being away from home for a while and not being a fan of the local fruit. he loves fruit but he thinks the best fruit is from serkonos and every other fruit tastes bland in comparison.

5. who is the best at comforting them when down?

his cat, allero 😔 and nate. both can sense when evan feels down immediately and try to make him feel better. allero just by being a cat with his kitty magic. nate by whatever feels right at the moment.

M: Maternal

1. would they want a daughter or a son?

no he doesn’t want children

2. how many children do they want?

none!

3. would they be a good parent?

debatable. most probably not.

4. what would they name a son? what would they name a daughter?

i don’t.. know. he never thought about it and neither did i lmao

5. would they adopt?

another cat.

R: Rules

1. do they follow rules?

hmmmmm no. he is part of the rich nobility that can circumvent or straight up break rules and no harm will come to him because he can buy his way out of trouble. and to keep some mouths shut. so easy to flow with the corruption in the isles! he is also considered one of the more unconventional natural philosophers of the isles, using forbidden or shunned upon methods when need be. he follows the rules when it suits him.

2. would they be a strict or laid-back parent?

probably more laid-back, maybe too much. maybe almost disconnected from the child.

3. have they ever been consequenced for breaking a rule?

no. like i said, he’s a rich bastard. he is also well-connected. kinda makes him untouchable. the only way to get him is to straight up kill him and send assassins after him. which he’s been successfully surviving so far!

4. have they broken any rules they now regret breaking?

no. evan doesn’t feel remorse and it shows.

5. do they find any rules they/others follow absolutely ridiculous?

like probably the seven strictures of the abbey and all their other stuff since nate and evan licherally do everything they forbid. so they both have a laff at them sometimes.

S: Streets

1. are they street-smart?

no he’s always had the privilage to study so all his knowledge comes from books n stuff

2. would they give money to someone on the streets?

most probably hmmm no. he is too high up to see the people below. i feel like maybe after meeting nate… he teaches him humility and he might just start noticing there are other people besides himself

3. have they ever gotten in a fight on the streets?

no he’s never gotten into a physical fight. fortunately. he wouldn’t know how to fight back.

4. has anything happened to them on the streets?

he has been robbed a couple of times. usually after a banquet or even during one.

5. are they cautious when out?

he tries to be but he often ends up out of his senses due to narcotics, alcohol, etc. because really the only occasion that gets him to be out is some social gathering or wotever so,, ye

questions!

OchaDeku

Dance: https://youtu.be/TZkSnxOeP4Y

This one is a light-hearted jazz, which is more quirky and fun but still grounded.

Uraraka is the one who actually puts more energy into the dance, while Deku tries to follow her lead in a very awkward fashion.

They have a blast while fusing, and they’re actually the first to fuse. They’re close friends, after all, and their dancing styles mix well together.

It comes as no surprise that their dancing has no weird tricks or over the top movements. It’s cute, nice, and warm. Simple but effective. A bit clumsy, but they’re having fun and that’s what matters.

Quirk: Gravity Control. Controls their own gravity at will. This creates stronger punches, and something akin to flying.

Fighting Style: Close quarters combat. Constantly shifts their own gravity to gain advantage. Is super smart and will outsmart you if you underestimate them. Like Deku, they calculate their gravity with percentages. Mid air their mind could be going, 15%, 20%, 13%... depending on what they need. 

Personality: Smiles a lot, cries a lot, feels a lot. The embodiment of sunshine but is super clumsy and messes up a lot. Tries their best tho. Enjoys a lot of cute things, and will engage in long debates with Creator over which flower is prettier. Could use one or two chill pills. Master of low key shade. Honestly you cannot notice when they’re insulting you because, one they look super innocent while doing it, and two they are most likely using nice words too. (Has a hard time dealing with Bakugou because of this)

Hero Name: “Noravity, the Weightless Hero.”

Background song: https://youtu.be/K_AyUovLL7Q

Noravity is a magical kind of fusion. Straight out of a Disney princess movie. This is why their song matches. Super chill, but energetic. If they follow the beat of their song they will be positive and happy, ready for a good natured fight.

DACODA

Name: Dacoda Gladius Nicknames: Coda, Shit head™ Age: 15 Gender: Male Sexuality: He says love is for losers. (He’s really gay tho) but never will admit it. Birthday/Zodiac: June 11th/Gemini Weapon: Hydra Splattling Rank: A

Battle style: Ruthless. He loves the feeling of power his weapon has when firing, and the vibrations of the motor through his hands. He’s a solid player too, he’s not great but also he doesn’t suck either. When the last 30 seconds of battle elapse, he rips apart enemy grounds and tears through their defenses. He has his shades for last-ditch-effort, and loves bringing the pressure for the perfect “cadence” for the match.

Species: unknown

Physical des: Skinny AF. Although not super unhealthy looking, he looks like he needs to eat more or something. He’s boney and has no meat help him. He has light freckles and always carries an enticing countenance. Unlike his brother Neo, his tentacles are not slicked back. He likes wearing simple t shirts, maybe with band names on them, and carries shades in his pockets. Likes keeping wrist bands on his arm from the times he was at another band’s live show. He has grey eyes. Height: 158cm (5’2”) Weight: 41kg (89lbs)

Personality des: Very expressive and exaggerated. Think of a typical shameless middle schooler. He loves playing or poking at people just to see how they react, and is really nosy into people’s business. Common word to call him is annoying. He’s hyper, and demanding when it comes to distractions, and it’s hard to keep him occupied for long. He has difficulty expressing sorrow or genuine gratitude, and avoids the consequences to his actions like lava. He does take time occasionally to reflect on his actions, however it only brings him down in the end. His emotions and insecurities catch up to him when he slows down.

General story: when he and his twin brother were younger, they took up guitar together. Dacoda and Neo were rather close when growing up, always playing twin tricks and practicing guitar together as a shared passion and friendly rivalry. As they got older however, their differences began to really divert them from each other. Dacoda, being more expressive and daring, and Neo being more refined and lawful. Although they still shared guitar as a common interest, they were in separate places. Dacoda with his expressive and fearless personality got into a band with Andante, as Neo kept to himself, watching from a distance. After a while being separated, Dacoda began to see Neo’s growing insecurity within him. As he was watching dacoda be with a band, and be a lead singer as well, he began to feel inferior. Dacoda sensing this, considered helping Neo out somehow. Dacoda eventually resided to get Neo on stage with Andante by having Neo substitute for Dacoda, by pretending to be him. But as Dacoda observed, he realized Neo never knew how to really perform. He could play well, and Dacoda knew this, he just never had experience performing, or expressing his musical talent. With this, for once in a lifetime, Dacoda felt like he didn’t like being in the spotlight for once. He continued having Neo substitute for him in his place, having him learn all the music for an upcoming recording session. When the date rolled around, Dacoda finally told Neo to take the solo guitar part in the recording. As Dacoda sat back and watched his brother finally performing and getting himself out there, Dacoda never felt better in his life. Somehow this felt even better than taking the glory for himself. Seeing his brother in equal terms together again after a long time…felt amazing. In the end they decided to perform together from then on. They continue to share their passions, as well as their love for each other once again just like how it used to be

Family: Mother, Father, and twin brother Neo.

Voice: My most common reference is 96Neko (96猫) He has a very large voice for his small stature. However he likes to fuck around a lot and likes mimicking/mocking others. Example

Trivia:

-Likes singing. (Obviously lol his voice ref is 96neko lol) He is one of the lead singers in Andantes band occasionally. Album fans debate whether the owner of his voice is female or male

-A Feel™ kinda person. He is that kid that has to feel literally EVERYTHING. You have to constantly tell him to keep his hands off of things in museums and displays. (That doesn’t keep him from touching it tho)

-Is that kid that probably has a ton of fidget spinners. He is the type to actually USE them for their intended purpose however.

-Super restless. He cannot stay still for 5 seconds. He always shakes his leg or taps his hands on the desk or look at things on the wall when someone is talking.

-Has a short AF attention span. Known to be all over during the day but crashing in the night. He also occasionally has temper tantrums.

-When he gets too restless he often ends up scratching himself. He is also that kinda person who picks off their scabs and never lets them heal.

-always ends up chewing up his guitar picks by accident.

-HATES his choir teacher with a Passion.™ He dedicates his class time to mocking them and singing HORRIBLY, amusing the class. He’s kinda a class clown, and never takes anything seriously.

-He and his brother, Neo, both play the electric guitar, but they play rather differently. As Neo likes repetitive and accurate riffs, Dacoda is WILD. He loves the feeling of moving his fingers all over and fingering like mad. He often doesn’t follow the rules in his part and loves improv and solos. However this is often at the cost of in tune or accurate playing as he may even play in the wrong key or out of time. If only he had the accuracy and tone of his brother’s playing he would be amazing.  Example?

[fuck-customers]

Iused to work at a wedding dress store. We were going out of business, so we were offering bridesmaids dresses for 25% off when you ordered them for your bridal party. Well, one day, this woman and a few of her bridal party members walk in. I’m talking complete white trash. Mossy Oak gear from head to toe, smelled like the only bath she had in weeks was in an ashtray (why would you walk into a bridal shop like that??? WHY????). I couldn’t stand to be next to her when she smelled that awful, but unfortunately she became my client as I was the only consultant working that day. Fortunately, she knows what she wants and finds a sample really quickly that she and her party like. Did I mention this girl’s grandmother was a bridesmaid? Um……… anyway. This dress was hideous and far from fashionable. I didn’t graduate fashion school for this shit. I kept my mouth shut because this girl had an attitude I didn’t to be on the wrong end of. She then proceeds to order them in a very unfashionable color scheme. Burgundy and pewter gray. This was after debating for a solid 10 minutes on which shade of red to use. She asked if she could take the swatch of burgundy to match it with other things for the wedding. I said that I couldn’t let her do that. She gave me the nastiest glare, and then dropped it. I moved on, quoting the total for the number of dresses she wanted with the 25% discount.

“That seems a little high.” “These dresses aren’t cheap, but I did calculate in the 25% disco–” “He told me it was 50% when I called earlier!”

He? The only people who work here are women. It then dawned on me that she must’ve talked to the store owner’s husband, who had been filling in for the owner since she was currently bedridden. This guy doesn’t know shit about the store itself. Neither he nor the owner set the prices; that’s my manager’s job. A 50% discount would be drastically cutting in to what little profits we made by selling this dress. Actually, we’d probably LOOSE money by doing that.

“He’s the store owner’s husband. He doesn’t quite understand the discounts we’re offering, yet. I really can’t do anything more than a 25% discount.”

She growled and huffed, but ultimately accepted the quote. I took down the measurements of the bridal party that was there. She told me she would be back the following day with the remaining bridal party to get measured.

That’s right! It was only day 1 of this nightmare! I mean, I expected she’d come back. She was ordering more dresses than there were girls with her. But still.

Her stench lingered in the store for a good 20 minutes after she left.

The next day, she returned. No complaints or griping as I took the measurements of the remaining girls. She still hadn’t showered tho. I eventually get to the computer to punch in her order, and gave her the final price. “Your total is $XXX.XX” “Wait, that’s higher than yesterday.”

Thinking I had forgotten to add in the discount, or had accidentally put in one of the dresses twice since we enter the style number, color, and size individually for each dress. Or maybe the original price in the system was wrong. Nope. I’d done everything perfectly.

“No, everything’s correct on my end.” “But you said it was $YYY.YY yesterday!”

And then it clicked. I quoted her everything before tax. The minute discrepancy in the prices was tax. I didn’t include it in the quote because normal fucking human beings in polite, modern society figure that it’ll be a bit more in the end. Anyone with more than a 3rd grade education knows that. But I was dealing with top tier white trash here.

“Ma'am, that’s tax.” “I’m not paying more than what you quoted me! I already collected the money from my bridesmaids!” “I can’t do that, it’s against the law.” “I’ll have to collect $12 more dollars from each of my bridesmaids now!!” She was actually yelling at this point.

Cry me a mother fucking river, bitch. I had never come close to yelling at a customer before, because this was a bridal shop where 99.99% of the customers were very civilized, but by god if this woman wasn’t about to get her ass chewed off by me.

Luckily for the both of us, my manager stepped in to handle it. The customer won this one, because my manager was able to change the numbers so that a tax-sized discount was taken off the dresses to bring the total back to the original quote. As if the world were backhanding this girl for her behavior, her debit card was declined. This was a situation where she would have to go to a branch of her bank to sort it out. Serves her right.

At this point, the other consultant had come in to relieve me at the end of my shift. She gave me an uneasy smile as I told her that I was leaving her with the worst customer I have ever seen. I was out of that store faster than you could say “whiny bitch baby”.

The next day, I was putting away and organizing the dress color swatches.

White Trash Bride had cut off the burgundy swatch.

What are your favorite pasttimes? Writing poetry, reading, playing video games, singing/listening to music, drawing, any activity outdoors, concerts

Do you have any regrets? Yeah, quite a few, but who doesn't? The goal is to do more and live, even if it results in some regrets, than to regret doing nothing at all and wasting my time

What is your dream job? I do want to be a makeup and SFX artist and do body paint, gore, or even stage makeup...otherwise, anything working with animals or having to do with psychology (especially of criminals and killers, it intrigues me)

Would you like to get married? I'd like to, but with the right person. Get married right this second? Yeah, no.

Do you want kids? How many? Maybe? I don't know if I do for sure or not, but that'll also come with finding someone and what they want. Pets on the other hand, so many (dogs, few cats, snake or two, bearded dragon, etc) 😅

How many countries have you visited? 3, well 4 counting the one I'm living in XD

What was your scariest dream? I have nightmares most nights or extremely realistic dreams so hard to say...it's something I constantly suffer from and always different, never reoccurring dreams

Do you have a significant other? Not necessarily at the moment tho talking to someone currently
