💄 (lipstick) and 🐞 (ladybug) for vince if you're still doing these! :D
Thanks so much for asking!! :D And yes I do, just a bit slow with responding atm xD
💄 (lipstick) - What does your oc think of their face? Do they have a positive or negative opinion? Do they wear makeup? Do they have a skincare routine? What traits do they like most about their face?
He definitely considers himself good-looking and likes his face! Which wasn't always the case, especially when he was younger, pre-T, he didn't like looking at himself in the mirror. But he does now, likes his bone structure, likes his big nose, can't complain XD He wears makeup, obviously, smudgy dark eyeliner and lipstick, nail polish too if that counts, bc why not. He would claim there is no deeper meaning than fashion behind it, but esp. the eyeliner I would say is a way to make him look a bit more mysterious, darker, maybe even scarier than he really is. War paint, if you like XD
Also yeh, he 100% has a skin care and a hair care routine, but I know too little about that myself to be able to really go into it in detail xD He does take care of himself in that regard, especially in the dark future when you don't have RealSkinn or sth like that and don't wanna get skin cancer and whatnot from all the (UV) radiation, you gotta take care of your meat body XD
🐞 (ladybug) - What does a perfect day look like for your oc? What do they do? Who do they see?
Ooohhhh!! Hmmmmm it always depends a bit on whether it's just a regular work day, vacation, etc etc.
The closest to an almost perfect day Vince ever had was how the morning after "Boat Drinks" plays out in my hc XD He and Kerry had spent the night at V's apartment, so they woke up together (maybe with a little bit more than just cuddling involved, too XD), got ready with Kerry borrowing some of V's clothes (including his favourite T-Shirt, which was Kerry's favourite T-Shirt from then on really XD), and went to go get breakfast at Tom's Diner together (because H10 doesn't have a Caliente's joint smh and Tom's Diner is the next best alternative at least somewhere close by). They just talked a lot, and afterwards V took Kerry on a little NC tour on his bike to show him some favourite places (something they got talking about during breakfast, and some of the locations even Kerry didn't know despite having lived in NC forever). The little impromptu tour ended at Corpo Plaza underneath the holofishies, and V told Kerry a bit about his Arasaka past (which Kerry wasn't aware of until that morning). He also told him about Johnny's/ Alt's plan with Mikoshi, Hanako, etc etc and they talked about a potential future together. Just a lot of deep, very good talks really, on a sunny but not overly hot day.
At some point Kerry has to go back to his place for real then, music and studio stuff, but as he gets back in his car asks V if he'd wanna come over later that night (and V agrees, because he wants to get his favourite T-Shirt back, obviously, nothing else).
The afternoon he'd probably just work on some gigs (bc he is a workaholic and I think a perfect day for him would include some kind of work being done, no matter if active, out-in-the-field type work or just prep and planning for something bigger from home or at the Afterlife). Maybe he'd meet up with another friend for an hour or so, River or Panam or Misty or Vik (just talking, no checkups), or give Judy a long call as she's out of NC at that point already.
And in the evening, after making sure Nibbles is taken care of for the night, he'd head out to Kerry's place to spend some more time together (and here in my hc Kerry actually wouldve went a little out of his way and actually prepared something - be it just some nice finger food or drinks, and maybe clear up at least some of the trash from the bar area outside, even if he didn't have the energy left to take the trash bags away afterwards). Or they order a pizza delivered by drone, and have a fun night hanging out, stargazing, skinny dipping in the lil natural pool, or anything like that XD
That was a pretty perfect day, falling in love a little bit more with someone that you really click with, a little bit of action by zooming through the city on a sportbike, visiting favourite places, many good talks, good food, a little bit of fulfilling work getting done, and still having some time to meet or speak with friends.
#vincent ezaki#answered asks#oc asks#swearingcactus#I had the 'come over tonight for food and skinny dipping' planned as a lil vp comic aaaages ago - pre PL release#but atm I have a bug in my old savegame due to the pl update where I can't drive onto kerry's property to continue with it xD#still gotta do that some time#otp: to bad decisions#kerry eurodyne

:) hello! :D hope you have a nice day and absolutely do not think of the possibility of one of the last story cards being of silver! and that his groovy will very probably be crying!!! THERE'S SO MANY CRYING PEOPLE IN STORY CARDS LATELY!!! SPECIALLY LIGHT USERS!! I AM!!! SCARED!!!! bc so far we got Lilia and Sebek in the beginning book 7.... so at the end.... so we're missing story Silver... and Malleus is the one with less cards, so they might add one for him... but... the tears... ego.... THE TEARS!!!! EGOOOO!! (LOVE YOUR ART BTW EVERYTIME I GET A NOTIF FROM YOUR BLOG I RUN HERE TO SEE!)
(thank you! 💚💜💚)
YES I am ALSO like...90-95% convinced that we're going to be getting a story card for Silver once we wrap around back to diasomnia. 👀 especially because the way things are going, Silver will be the only character whose dream we haven't seen -- yet???? -- and that just. y'know. makes me wonder!
although I do think it would be VERY funny if he got a story card and the groovy was just "regular Silver except with one beautiful single crystal tear". this is actually a lot coming from him.
(he used up all his emotion yelling at a baby that one time, there's none left for a proper groovy-level cry.)
#art#twisted wonderland spoilers#twisted wonderland episode 7 spoilers#twisted wonderland book 7 spoilers#twisted wonderland episode 7 part 10 spoilers#twisted wonderland book 7 part 10 spoilers#maybe not quite that far but just in case we'll go with the latest out as of now#i would absolutely love some more expressions for silver though#i saw someone point out once that he only has one smiling/happy animation and now i can't unsee it#LET HIM SMILE MORE#anyway my personal dipping-deep-into-speculation theory is that if we do get his dream and a story card from it#i'm leaning towards thinking it might be some kind of au where lilia never adopted him (and/or mel was never killed?)#because of how absolutely and intensely he was convinced that lilia MUST hate him and blame him for everything that happened#and while sebek punched some sense into him at the time i could see silver's wish being some kind of 'they'd be better off without me' thin#(plus blonde silver would be different enough to justify the card probably)#idk they might go in a TOTALLY different direction but that's where my thoughts are at the moment!#there's gotta be some kind of resolution between lilia and silver at some point at least#i'm just still holding out for someone to actually say the words 'silver vanrouge' please it is all i want

#also read the “shit on her for no reason” as misogyny#it might come as a surprise but in order to write interesting female characters you gotta give them negative traits#ngl there are times when even writes do them dirty#but a)you can always write headcanons and “fix-it” fics.that’s what fandom is known for#and b)considering how some ignore the aspect of bad writing and continue blaming the woman characters-#-even though they aren’t real#-makes it seem like they just enjoy projecting their shit with no consequences#shower thoughts#meme#arcane#mel medarda#<= im not mildly interested but rather obsessed with her actually#but she still applies#gf mabel#tfp miko#avatar korra#atsv gwen#gwen stacy#spider gwen#ghost spider#idk i probably forgot some but oh well#mia winters

some 1b girl lineups so i can have all my little personal designs in one place :3 slightly inconsistent bc i drew them separately at first but fuck it we ball
no clothes versions that i made for myself to use as templates (yknow so i can draw clothes on top of them without having to draw them over and over again) and showcase my general appearance headcanons
how i think they like to wear their uniforms (looking at bakugo, UA seems pretty liberal about it so i get to have fun lol). obviously what they wear depends mostly on the weather but these are meant to be like,, their favorite combinations?
i really like the "long sleeve shirt with no blazer" look. kind of a shame no one in bnha seems to wear their uniform like this
the most important part!! the costumes!! putting the notes under the cut bc they ended up kinda long
i like Reiko's canon costume a lot, i just decided to give her fingerless gloves and make her kimono long and tattered for the spooky vibes. i used to also draw it with a reversed (right over left) collar bc that's how they dress dead people and Reiko's meant to have this ghost aesthetic but decided against it this time because maybe it's more culturally inappropriate than i think?? idk its not that big of a visual change so i'd rather play it safe
Setsuna is wearing my own costume design that i explained fully in an older post. i still like it, i just gave her spike bands on her legs instead of the same thing she wears on her forearms bc i decided i dont vibe with the total limb symmetry anymore lol
i spent a ridiculous amount of time trying to think up a redesign for Kendo only to settle for her canon costume with extra bandages/cloth wraps (theyre cool) and ordinary combat boots instead of the ones she wears in canon (i just don't vibe with them). i guess sometimes less is more or whatever
Pony is wearing @doodlegraveyard's awesome redesign :) pastel cowgirl swag
Ibara's design is by m0chicakes, i still think its amazing
Yui's costume also takes a lot from doodlegraveyard's design, i just decided to try blue as her accessory color to distinguish her color palette from my Momo design
Kinoko's canon costume is just *chefs kiss* so the only thing i changed was the color of her shoes. her sleeves are short here bc i thought it could look cute for a summer version of her costume, the winter version keeps the long fluffy sleeves. her spray guns were pissing me off so i decided not to draw them but trust me they're here in spirit
i might post winter edits for some of these later :)
edit: posted in a reblog!!
#bnha#class 1b#reiko yanagi#setsuna tokage#itsuka kendo#pony tsunotori#ibara shiozaki#yui kodai#kinoko komori#bnha redesign#tikto's art#okay smiley face time OVER complaining time is NOW#i do like it enough to post but i am less than happy with how some of this stuff turned out if i gotta be honest#ponys pastel ass linework colors. everyones feet and shoes. kinoko's chicken legs. honestly kinoko in general#im sorry girl i couldnt do you justice but i redrew you like 3 times and still wasn't happy so i had to settle with what i had TwT

#I also think american exceptionalism and their bizarre cultural one-way street isolation plays a role#i think it's different if you actually see other countries as equals and see that they have female leaders and realise that it's#not going downhill it's not solving everything it's business as usual and it's just another boring fucking politician#and this makes the gender of the candidate LESS (not saying no) issue people obsess about or feel a need to discuss#(e.g. people laying into the appearance of female politicians? certainly misogyny. making jokes about cooking and shoes? definitely too#but I feel like that was more a 'gotta insult these fucking politicians' and gender being one of the targets when people want to do that)#but if you're the US and giant parts of the populace think they're the specialmost extra complicatedest country in this our planetworld#the fact that it works for so many other countries takes a much lower priority#because 'yeah sure a woman can govern a....'checks notes' Fineland and United Kingdom of England or Germanland'#but the US of freedom? we got a red button and what if she's on her period!!?! We are a REAL country!!'#not to mention how deeply entrenched the idea of the US as being CONSTANTLY under attack is and the president as the PROTECTOR#and that protector needs to be daddy of course#i also think the different attitude to leaders plays a role#because a part of misogyny is how much people love to HATE women - to sink their teeth into them and demonise them for every flaw#so any country that has some kind of weird worship of their leaders or sees them as some heroes or extra-class of person*#in my opinion might have a harder time to elect a woman because the moment a woman becomes a candidate#you just have to find the right flaw to go on and on about to make the population absolutely hate her or question her competency#meanwhile the general slack we cut men means they can do whatever but somehow still be compatible with that concept of leadership#(*not just the US ....though a lot of other countries with similar attitudes to their leaders are not standing out as democracies tbh)

We should talk more about the fact Jason got swarmed and attacked by a mob as Robin, like??? Hello. He had to be left there because the mob was too violent with Batman near. He had to be taken to the hospital.
Look at those injuries!!
The next time we see him he's forcing himself out of bed and putting on the Robin costume thinking "I've gotta do what I can to help, even if it kills me!"
The next next time we see him he has walked into yet another violent mob
I cannot stop thinking about this story and the effects it probably had on him honestly. Do you think it's made him nervous in crowds, do you think it made him trust others just that bit less. How long do you think he was being attacked before he was found, the scene had cleared. "I've gotta do what I can to help, even if it kills me!",,,,
Just the concept itself! I don't know about you guys but being attacked and grabbed and trampled into unconsciousness sounds absolutely terrifying! Did he black out, still getting hit, thinking he was going to die? Knowing he couldn't defend himself as his injuries to took their toll? At their complete mercy?
1986-87 Legends, issue #2 (the attack), #3 (the hospital), #5 (getting up), #6 (defending heros from another forming mob)
2010 DC Universe: Legacies, issue #6 (flashback panel to Legends moment)
#jason todd#jaybin#jason todd robin#comic reference#we need to talk about and acknowledge this so much more its such a fun bit of information n backstory#and i honestly think its a REALLY IMPORTANT jaybin moment. both for him and readers#batman#dc comics#i never see anyone talk about it which is such a shame honestly#fairly confident this is post crisis jaybin. but of course we are in the evil gray area of actually post crisis - before new backstory#but gonna be honest with you guys here i and actual dc writers take from precrisis jaybin alot anyway because he IS still jason#and adds more original comic time for jason#as long at its not like blatantly contradictory i keep a rather lot of his things#and again we are in the grey area of it#plus he calls himself the new robin in the hospital scene so that probably means something#and none of it at all matters anyway because when it comes to comics you do what you want for forever. thumbs up emoji#this is still important anyway. the “ive gotta help even if it kills me!” haunts me#dare i say i wish we talked more about jaybin time in general. like. the stories from it#all i usually hear is ditf and him pushing or not pushing that guy. its a shame i think jaybin has some really fun stories#i think (i think) scarecrow and mad hatter were rogues he faced the most. DEFINITELY scarecrow#two face too if im counting the mad hatter. +plus importance bc twoface he thought killed his dad#he lets himself be kidnapped by two face saying hes the SECOND robin and then insults the guys car#he dresses up as two face once#he saw scarecrow making highly concentrated fear toxin and dumped it on him 😭#sherlock holmes was in a story at some point#its so fun. augh i need to reread jaybin so so bad its so fun i miss it

I don't think people seem to understand that they could've given up. We know fox was blocking bisexual Buck and that probably means they were blocking buddie, so they could've given up. Buddie is a love story. Their devotion to each other is canon. There isn't anything the show can do that's gonna convince me they don't love each other. But they could've given up at any point. Backed off, actually give any other love interest a fighting chance, double down on them being best friends and not make it bigger. They choose not to. They kept adding to this love story as best as they could. They are best friends. They are partners. They are family. They would die for each other but they also have fun together. They have one braincell they keep pingponging between them. They love each other. That's a fact. That will always be a fact. They are each other's person. And now we are at a place where that can be explicitly explored. It's a slowburn. It's a network slowburn. The desire to rip your hair out comes with it but it makes the moment they finally get their shit together that much sweeter. We're getting there. Somehow y'all had more hope when all we had to go on was a couch. Buck is actually queer now. This time last year Buck and Eddie were getting a comphet ending. Now one of them is actually queer. We're gonna get there, but they are not just gonna trip into a relationship because they are too careful with buddie as a friendship to not address the issues and make things natural before getting them together because everyone involved in this madness knows what they have in their hands. They know once they get buddie together it's forever, they're not gonna rush into it now they have actual room to play.
#some of yall never experienced a slowburn in real time and it shows#i watched castle live#do you know how much time i spent wanting to rip my hair out?#castle said he loved kate with all the words and IT STILL TOOK TWO FULL SEASONS TO GET THEIR SHIT TOGETHER#the mentalist? Theresa got engaged to someone else#bones? well booth was head over hells like 5 episodes in but he talks about it STILL TAKES THEM A SEASON AN A HALF TO GET TOGETHER#you gotta learn to enjoy the ride#911#thoughts thoughts thoughts#its 3:30 am i might be hallucinating#dont take me too seriously#its the slowburn to end all slowburns

Transcript below the cut:
Dawn: I don’t know why I let you talk me into watching this movie tonight. Phoenix: It’s not even that scary, just sit back and relax. Dawn: Fine, but if I scream and wake up Aspen, you’re gonna be the one to get her back to sleep. Phoenix: Deal.
Dawn: [squealing] That’s so creepy.
Phoenix: [laughing] Put your foot down. Dawn: Just tell me what happens. Phoenix: No, you have to watch.
Dawn: Then I’ll watch from here. Phoenix: You’re being ridicu—
Phoenix: [jumps] Shit!
Dawn: Ahaa!!! Phoenix: Just come back over here.
Phoenix: See, isn’t this better? Dawn: Shhh.
Phoenix: Okay but why is he wandering off alone?
Dawn: You’re cute when you’re scared. Phoenix: I’m not scared, I’m annoyed. Dawn: Mhm.
[Both scream… followed by fits of laughter and shushing]
Phoenix: I can’t believe she didn’t wake up. Dawn: [giggling] I know. Phoenix: So, I was thinking, we should get away for a little while. Dawn: I like that idea. What did you have in mind?
Phoenix: Well, Julian is staying in Chestnut Ridge through the holidays, so that frees us up for Winterfest. I was thinking we could spend it up in Mt Komorebi, maybe rent a cabin for the week.
Dawn: If we were going to do that, we probably should’ve booked one months ago. Is anything going to be available?
Phoenix: I might have something lined up already. A guy at work rented one but he can’t go and it’s too late to cancel, so it’s ours if we want it.
Dawn: Really?
Phoenix: Mhm. It’s walking distance from the ski slopes, and it has a hot tub, and there’s three bedrooms so we can invite Atlas and Asher if you want.
Dawn: You had me at hot tub.

I know the discourse well is poisoned and no one hates bioware games more than bioware fans, but I am just 🫠 having so much fun with veilguard it's unreal. It is selfishly the dragon age game I always wanted. with less emphasis on cRPG, a more focused story, curated mission based design that spotlights the high fantasy stuff, slowburn structure with companions, significantly less sidequest bloat, and a fully real-time action-oriented combat system that isn't riddled with the growing pains of previous titles. when I first played origins I imagined something almost exactly like this as my ideal version of a sequel; and it was one of those dirty, selfish thoughts that I knew was disrespectful to the then-established DNA of the thing, but I can't help but feel giddy about having it here and now. like down to the shift away from the childishly dark tone and to something more inherently flexible with a baseline aspirational quality. I hate aesthetically depressing games so much. am I not alive right here and right now already
When I say "aesthetically" there though I do mean it. I'm fully on the opposite side when it comes to tone and positions expressed in the story itself. I am just not including that in my analysis because I am not done yet - so please no spoilers! I think I am where most people consider to be the second act, and I definitely have my gripes with the narrative framework and some of the optics, but I won't put the cart before the horse and will see how it wraps things up first. Above that level, in terms of how it presents itself, of how it plays, of how it balances its core pillars - it is such a bioware-ass game and I could not be any cozier in it. So grateful it exists
#and thank god for that reboot away from live service horseshit they were pushing. this is the most offline ass game in ages. bless#anyway no one is allowed to reblog this because people here aren't normal and I am afraid of spoilers#but I cant pretend not to adore every second of Beef Hilda Mercar and her adventures as a shadow dragon reaper#I have her fully invested in shield throws. that shit couldnt bounce better if zagreus was tossing it#also everyone is so pretty 🫠 this is the first time for me in a bioware game where like#purely aesthetically. i feel targeted and manipulated. these people feel designed around my tastes it's so embarassing#text#dragon age#okay I gotta mention one more thing. it is a very specific ass peeve I have#their dialogue system has never felt as.. nimble in their frostbite titles. something about the constant fades in and out and click delays#it all feels insecure on the engine-end side to me. maybe I am dumb. but veilguard also has this issue#like the original 2 DAs and the unreal engine mass effects had such snappy and frictionless selection-to-dialogue feel#and their frostbite titles I swear to god some greare is missing in the wheels there. here too. it is a LITTLE annoying since this is like#my favorite part of engaging with their games. it's not a huge issue but I have grown keenly attuned to it#inquisition had horribly bad delays in response selection. andromeda had those godawful delays in starting and ending convos#and those things are still somewhat present here albeit to a lesser degree. it feels like a streaming thing#idk. I do not make games. but I think that shit needs to feel smoother
