Some random MS paint experimenty art, just ended up accidentally making it into WLB fanart lmaooo-

Spent so long figuring out Tusk's legs swimming but almost all of it got hidden in the water :Dy yayyy?

[cherrykitkat]

@arualmeow

thought I was muted and just had this exchange with a coworker on a zoom call

[annuskabriar]

was doodling and ended up drawing miss sturgeon wlb from @whatlurksbean, one of my fav webcomics!

[barrenclan]

Maddy sent me an ask awhile ago mentioning how funny it was that PATFW and WLB both have villains who are bad dads, black cats, and have names one letter away from each other - my Thrasher and their Thresher. 

What Lurks Beneath is a wonderful comic by ArualMeow, if you haven’t already read it for some reason. Go read it! Sturgeon is my best friend and worst enemy!

[xox-b1te-m3-xox]

woahhh art from meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee? on my tumblr acc? who would’ve thought (crossposting from deviantART)

so backstory i really struggle with drawing feral cats, specifically the muzzles SOOO i did some practice trying to draw it aaaand i wanted to use one of the wlb characters for practice! tried drawing sturgeon first, got frustrated cuz she is BEEF so i moved to trout aaaaaaand i went down a rabbit hole and ended up doing a complete panel redraw from the recent chapter poor trout, at least she has lots of cool art now i felt like she needed the little lip quiver during this sequence a combination of her fear of skua hearing her decree and her fear of having to make that decree to begin with original panel is on the left, my redraw is on the right!

you should read what lurks beneath right now. its a comic about these cats who live on an island. read it rn. its on deviantART and comicfury and even here on tumblr under @/whatlurksbean!

[guerrastrife]

Wlb community truly sucks. How you can say Trout is worse than Thresher just because Thresher didn't hurt any member of his family? The cat who forced Sturgeon, which she was a child, to kill a newborn?? The one who injured Kelp after she takes care of his children, forcing her to accept them and consider her child lesser being that his fucking heirs. Did you remember Ladybug? Bream? His mate? Come onnnn, omgggg I hate this community

Typing What Lurks Beneath Characters

You can read WLB over at @whatlurksbean it's very good....I've been wanting to give them some typology for awhile cuz ooog I love how these characters are written so much

Spoilers for the comic btw! (Putting it under a read more cuz oh my god it's long. Sorry. Also this gets progressively lazier so. Ewps)

Trout: I have three different possible enneagram typings for Trout, I see her either as a 6, 9 or a 4, with a slight preference for the 6 typing. Though she does seem to feel the general melancholy of a 4, prioritizing her problems and victimizing herself, she doesn't seem to feel envy whatsoever, which makes me think she just has a strong 4 fix instead of it being her core.

9 was my best guess for awhile, she seems to merge with a group heavily and needs validation from those around her, but when I think about it she's much too "active" to be a 9. Though she does (somewhat) numb herself, she doesn't do it enough for me to think it's her core...

As for 6, to me, she comes off as a phobic 6 who defers to authority to get what she wants. She lives off the validation of the group before anything else, and is very much a yes-man, deciding that the safety she gets from the group is the most important thing in her life, even at the expense of other's lives.

One could make an argument that that is 9-core, numbing herself to everyone else's problems, but 9s don't numb themselves outwardly they do it inwardly. A 9 wouldn't care about their problems, focusing on merging with their group while ignoring themselves, while a 6-core is more likely to focus on their own safety and well being over everyone around them.

As for MBTI, she seems to be a textbook fe-ti user. Her fe is very obvious, she cares more about other's validation than having her own opinions (fe>ti/fi) and doesn't seem to have her own set of morals, shown when she lets Tusk die just because she was scared of the backlash.

As for si/ne or ni/se, I'm not exactly sure. At first, I was pretty sure she was an si user, but when I think about it more that seems to have been based off of different si stereotypes, but Ni-dom Trout also doesn't make much sense...

I am going to go with Si-dom just because she doesn't show much Ne OR Ni, but shows plenty of Si/Se and I couldn't see her as Se inferior

For psychosophy, she is DEFINITELY 1 or 3F. I am going to go with 1F due to her seeming confident in her physics early on. She's a good hunter and seems more likely to stay in "reality", but later her physics placement becomes insecure due to the assassination attempts.

For the rest of psychosophy, 2E is a given due to her people and group oriented nature. She listens to groups and succumbs to peer pressure, but her emotions were also much stronger before the assassination attempts, which is why I'm going with 2E instead of 4E.

3V and 4L also make sense to me, she doesn't seem to care much about logic but is VERY insecure about her volition. She wants to be seen as a good leader, and often debates whether she'll end up like Thresher.

As for classpecting, I think doom makes most sense for her...doom is both about literal "doom" (shown in like. Gestures at her entire life) but also in restriction. Just like life players are about growth and overcoming burdens, doom players live with these burdens and seem to be tied down. In Trout's case, this is shown with how much she values the group over everything else. This in and of itself is a burden to her, she is being tied down by a prison of her own making

For class, I'm gonna just go with heir. She seems to perfectly embody the Doom aspect, and is more passive than active so. Yeah

Final Typology:

ISFJ - 6w7 - 649 - FEVL - Heir of Doom

Sturgeon: For enneagram, she is definitely a 5. 6 is also a possibility, but 5 just seems to make more sense. She watches from the shadows, not playing a spotlit role (unlike Trout) but still effecting everything with her knowledge. She's a gatherer of knowledge, and though she can interact with other cats just fine, she has a preference to watch, which is often shown when she watches the graveyard. She wants to know everything, both to feel usefull and because she "refuses to be stupid", so 5!

For the rest of her tritype, she definitely gives off the vibes of an 8-fix, especially earlier in comic. She has her own (very strong) opinions, and often needs to be in control, shown all the times she tells Trout what to do. Also 3, just because I cannot see her as either 2 or 4-fixed LMAO

Sturgeon is so te-fi user, but is definitely in the middle axis with both. She has pretty proper usage of both, having strong, internal beliefs but also being very duty and efficiency oriented. As for Si/Ne or Ni/Se, she shows much more Ni-dom to me. She lives in her own head, often to the point where others are confused by her behaviors. She doesn't show much Ne, either, having a more "one-track mind".

For psychosophy, she is definitely confident logic and volition, and for placement I'm gonna go with 1L and 2V. Yes, she does order Trout around, but she obviously cares about other people's input and isn't afraid to have her ideas be challenged (even if she usually thinks she has the best decisions around).

3E due to emotional constipation LoL, and 4F because that's all that's left! She doesn't seem to care about physics at all so this makes sense LoL

For classpecting, I'm gonna go with the mind aspect, maybe? She's very logic oriented, but not in the more "action" focused way of the light aspect. She cares about the future and is always coming up with plans which seems to follow the mind theme pretty well...

As for class, she is definitely a mage. Unlike seers, mages learn actively, meaning they often have to go through trial and errors with their aspect before they can get all the knowledge they need.

Final Typology:

INTJ - 5w6 - 538 - LVEF - Mage of Mind

AND FINALLY, Hake: Hake is for sure a 9, he numbs himself from his problems by focusing on others, shown in his entire relationship with Tusk. He also definitely has a 7 and 2-fix. He doesn't have the general "hero complex" of an so7 or the love need of a 2, because I can't see any other head/heart triad type fitting him.

For MBTI, definitely another fe user. though this time I think it's his dominant function. I'm also pretty sure he's on the Ni/Se axis with the way he prioritizes physical experiences. He's never really shown too much in his head, and often gets excited at the prospect of certain activities such as fighting, preferring it to more menial tasks like hunting. I'm gonna go Se>Ni though, so I'mma say he's Fe/Se

Psychosophy, he is DEFINITELY 2E and 4V. He gives zero shits about his place in the hierarchy, even if he does inadvertantly use it to his advantage when helping others. His 2E is also shown with how much he listens and cares about others, being both confident with emotions, but still listening to others.

I would say 1F and 3L but tbh I'm not exactly sure LoL

For classpecting, he definitely comes off as a knight...usually I prefer to choose aspect before class but this just seems obvious. He's somewhat insecure (which hasn't been fully explored but I am sensing the foreshadowing LoL) and cares more about helping others than taking care of himself.

For his aspect, I could honestly see any, but I'm gonna go with Blood (Karkat moment). Unlike a breath player, blood players are tied down by their bonds. They need other people and care about others more than they'd ever care about themselves.

Final Typology:

ESFJ - 9w1 - 927 - FELV - Knight of Blood

I was gonna do Tusk but I'm getting tired so. I'll just leave my conclusion and might come back and write the reasoning later LoL

Tusk's Typology: ISTP - 6w5 - 683 - LFEV - Bard of Life
