Please do it she'd be so cute

Would anyone even notice if I shadow edited Marya's appearances to make her more Finish

[flawseer]

Hey Flawseer, love your art. I wanted to ask if you have any headcanons for some of the supporting characters who aren't really tied to the school, like Chameleon, Icicle, Hailstorm, etc.

Headcanons for specifically those characters? Hm...

This isn't really a headcanon, more of a "this is implied but not outright stated" kind of thing, but Chameleon's childhood was the stuff of nightmares. He hatched with a physical deformity that prevented him from sleeping more than an hour at a time. Think about what that would be like, to never be able to rest, to be tired and exhausted every day.

Child Chameleon is also an interesting window into the darker aspects of Rainwing society. The books often portray their society as idyllic, something pure and optimistic, something to aspire to. But then they had this kid who was suffering in his body, who didn't develop the expected Rainwing traits properly, and they shunned him. Even sweet, lovable, couldn't-hurt-anyone Jambu calls him weird and off-putting for not being able to change colors. We don't know why Chameleon ended up exiled; maybe it was a malicious act or maybe Chameleon lashed out and had to be removed for being dangerous. But it definitely makes you wonder if there are any other skeletons in the Rainwings' closet.

None of this excuses any of the stunts he pulled later as an adult, especially not the emotional manipulation of his daughter. But thinking about his crappy childhood may help you understand how he ended up the way he did. I hope he can find some help.

Here's a picture of him I drew once. He probably has an official design by now, I don't know.

As for headcanons about Chameleon... I think he eats meat. His biology isn't really wired for it, so it tastes absolutely disgusting to him. But he does it anyway, because while he hates the taste of meat so much, he hates the idea of being a Rainwing several times more. So he puts up with it because he knows it is the least Rainwing-like thing you can do. In a strange way, it helps him cope.

For Icicle, I think it is interesting to note that we technically never see her under normal circumstances. She appears in Jade Mountain in book 6 and certainly leaves an impression, but it's easy to forget that everything she does, she does with the awareness that Scarlet currently has a proverbial knife to her brother's throat. Thus, we never get to see what present day Icicle is like when she is able to relax.

Headcanons... The books aren't clear on how or when Scarlet made first contact with her. It could have been in school, as Moonwatcher overhears. Personally, I think Scarlet actually contacted Icicle months prior to the school opening, and instructed Icicle to insert herself as a sleeper agent. I have trouble believing that immaculate Icicle would WANT to be cooped up underground in a dirty cave with a bunch of strangers several miles from home. I think Scarlet made her do it, and she then begged Queen Glacier to send her there, knowing full well she was gonna hate it. Winter then overheard her begging and begged to come along too.

This lends weight to the scene where Icicle finally breaks down in front of Winter. The part where she's her authentic self for the first time, crying and begging Winter not to let her fall asleep so the woman who has been tormenting her inside her own head for months can't tell her that she failed and that her brother is dead.

In the end, her brother is alive. But in trying to get him free, Icicle ruined her own life.

This one might be controversial, I don't know. While I do think Icicle served in the war, and she did definitely kill Mudwings while doing so, I don't think Icicle is the one who killed Crane. Sora insists it was her, but Umber and Marsh do not recognize her, and Mudwing siblings usually fight together, so they would have both been present during her death too.

I think the story becomes more meaningful if the trauma of war just ruined Sora to such an extent that she sees her sister's killer in every somewhat outspoken female Icewing. Then she ran into the library and confirmation-biased herself into believing her hunch by reading unverified essays on Icewing genetics. You know, the same library whose references on Mudwing physiology consist entirely of The Slug-like Qualities of the Mudwings. If Wisemind penned an examination of Icewing physiology too, one can probably imagine how reliable that one would be.

This kind of turns Sora and Icicle into tragic parallels. They are both children born into a war that took their innocence from them, and in the end it ruined them both.

For Hailstorm, I believe after the battle of Jade Mountain ended and Winter got banished, Hailstorm went back to the Ice Kingdom and lived with his mother Tundra for a while. Tundra took the death of her mate very badly and became embittered. She blamed everything bad that happened to their family on Winter, insisted that Winter caused the family to rot. Winter killed the Queen, Winter killed Narwhal, Winter, Winter, Winter, she should have smashed his egg when she had the chance. Hailstorm tried to get her out of the house, to stop talking and thinking about Winter, but nothing worked. She just had her mind set on hating this kid she'd been abusing since his hatching, insisting she gave him the world and he was ungrateful.

Eventually, Hailstorm just couldn't take this constant bleakness and hatred anymore. A few months ago Icewing tradition almost made him kill his little brother and he is just done with the Ice Kingdom. Completely disillusioned. Leave it all behind.

So he goes to Winter, and he starts to ask odd questions, like "If you had never found a way to turn me back from being Pyrite, would you still have loved me", and "If I was a Skywing, would you disown me?" Winter assures him that he will always love him, but starts to get worried about the questions.

Eventually, Hailstorm just flat-out states that he was actually kind of happy with himself as a female Skywing, not having to think about their messed up family and the stupid rankings all the time. He kept thinking about it through their mother's ramblings, how he felt in that body. He's figured out that he wants to go back to being Pyrite, just obviously without the brainwash-y parts. Winter doesn't entirely understand, but wants his brother/sister to be happy, and gives him/her his blessing.

And I guess there you have it. Some of my headcanons. Chameleon the meat eater, the absolute train-wreck that is Icicle's life with a side of Sora, and Hailstorm finds self-affirmation in exploring their gender identity after cutting their toxic mom out of their life.

@candysweetposts Has done it again!

I've been on a HUGE Devil May Cry kick since last September... With Nero being my current videogame crush...

If you read my last update, this game series is one of the biggest reasons why I haven't been writing on Alana's and Nathaniel's story. I can't write about their love story whenever I can't get my mind off of Nero. So, I took a self-insert that I had made for the Black Clover universe and repurposed her for the DMC universe. In know. I know. I'm thirsty... Finral is still my current anime crush, and I still love Nathaniel, but Nero has taken priority...

So, I had the bright idea to have Alice edit an illustration for me. Nathaniel is the perfect love interest to turn into Nero, so I went with one of his illustrations that doesn't have his right arm in it. Nero gets his human arm back at the end of DMC5, but he spends most of the game with various prosthetics (his Devil Breakers are a key game mechanic). The background is from Season 2 of Eldarya. This image is supposed to be that Nero got a call for a mission while he and Melanie were on a date, so the date had to get cut short. She doesn't want him to go, but knows he needs to. So, she ends up telling him to be safe and to come back to her as soon as possible. If you don't actually wanna read me rant about why I don't ship Nero with Kyrie, then don't read after the cut. If you do, then you're in for a wild ride.

Even though I am well aware that Nero is in a canon coupling with Kyrie, I am not fond of that coupling. In DMC4, Kyrie basically spends the entire game either being a "Sweet little singer", "Devout cult member" or "Damsel in distress"... All while hiding behind Nero and Credo and being used against them by the cult. On top of the fact that she is, technically, his adoptive sister. In DMC5, she's not even present in person... Either only being a voice of reason to Nero at the end of the game, screaming out Nero's name at the beginning of the game, being casually mentioned whenever Nero "messes up", or having a section in Nico's files. Seriously, the most important thing she does in DMC4 is basically the same thing that she does for Nero at the end of DMC5. Apparently, she has more of a presence in Before The Nightmare, but as it doesn't have an English translation (even though I do have a copy of the book), I can't quite count that... I also can't stand the fact that, during an interview for the 4th game, one that's published at the end of the Graphic Arts book that covers 1-4, the creators of the game state that, without her, Nero would have gone on a similar path as his father, Vergil. I cannot accept that. I don't ship him with Nico, but I hate the fact that Nico is clearly nowhere near as "important" as Kyrie, yet she has one hell of a personality that is established throughout DMC5... In fact, Nico has more of a personality in the first 10 minutes of 5, than Kyrie has throughout both 4 and 5. As much as I want to like Kyrie, I cannot stand characters like her. If they're so damn important to one of the main characters, they need to be properly established with more personality traits than "Damsel", "Kind", "Generous", "Beautiful" and "Good singer". Characters without flaws, especially love interests, piss me the fuck off.

I don't ship Nero with Nico because it's established very early on that they have more of a sibling relationship. Nico doesn't see Nero that way... In fact, bare minimum, I think she's at least bisexual. Especially whenever she comments on Lady having a "pretty smoking body" and the way she reacts whenever Nero gives her a look and shakes his head. As a bisexual woman myself, I know gay panic when I see it.

I don't ship Nero with Lady for multiple reasons. On top of the fact that she is way too old for him, and he knows it... I ship her with Dante. Lady is basically his aunt.

Seeing you on twitter (love you btw ^.^ I’m a silent follower but I love your stuff.) I saw how easily the mask fell from piñata Stans the minute you, a Naruto and Sasuke shipper started criticizing the nh relationship. (It was so mild. All you did was name a fact. It’s not even half as bad what criticism ss rightfully gets and yet they can’t handle it. lol.) it proves to me they’re so babied in the community because they’re seen as the better option to ss. I saw some genuinely crashing out about how “they thought sns and nh got along!!” I hate seeing young sns validating them. These newer fans believe nh & sns have always had some weird truce when that’s not true in the slightest. And seeing the amount of “sasunaruh*na” shippers coming out of the cracks, calling themselves “sns” shippers while conveniently only interacting with sh & nh content and poly / love triangle art centered around h trying to criticize you like “I ship sns but-“ but no. Stop it. You pretend to ship it so you pretend to be better than ss when you’re exactly alike.

Piñata Stans worst nightmare is being recognized as being just as awful as pink Stans. They try to desperately to pretend to be morally better, all the while hiding behind anons and saying grossly transphobic/homophobic stuff.

That’s the only reason I started to dislike nh more than ss. They’re both terrible, ss is still technically “worse” in just how purely awful it is, but nh shippers are so insufferable I just hate nh more. With ss shippers, I can expect them to be bitchy and aggressive, that’s their mo. But Nh? You never really know what you’re gonna get. Usually it’s a lot of guilt trippy language about how much Hinata has done and how she’s actually so brave and sweet even if she’s not well written (they actually believe she’s written good, they just pretend to accept she’s not so they can guilt trip you into pitying the character enough not to hate her.) I don’t know if you’ve noticed that. I think it’s because piñata stans self insert onto Hinata who is a pitiful guilt tripper so they exhibit that same behavior? Like how Sakura is self centered and obnoxious, her self insert stans are the exact same way. If you get what I’m trying to express.

Hi anon!

I saw some genuinely crashing out about how “they thought sns and nh got along!!”

shsdkskdjs I know right? It's funny because I've already engaged with SS shippers as well and their reaction was nowhere near as dramatic as NH shippers and I attacked them far more aggresively.

I don't care about whatever silly truce SNS shippers from twitter made with NH shippers, I'm not gonna pretend to like Hinata or that NH is a good ship or that is anywhere near the level of SNS in terms of writing and development. It's het slop just like SS and they can be mad about it.

I'm also gonna keep being against this whole "Naruto bisexual king" propaganda they love to push, like I'm sorry but Naruto never gave a fuck about that girl and continues not to even now as a married couple, so no, she isn't Naruto's type, stop pushing her down my throat.

It's so funny because they're always making fun of Sakura and her stans because Sasuke is an absent husband and father but came crying and whining to my mentions when I stated a fact that show us Naruto is also an absent husband and father. Like, idk which one is worse because Sasuke abandons the village for years but Naruto is still in the village yet does everything in his power to avoid seeing his family LMFAO

It was funny how I mentioned Naruto and Hinata have been sleeping in separate bedrooms for years and none of them brought up proof to debunk it, they simply started scrambling and making excuses for why Naruto is allowed to sleep in a different bedroom, "he arrives late from work! he's always working so hard!" the man that can create 100s of clones to work faster but doesn't do that for some reason, mind you but I'm the bad guy for pointing that out lol

they actually believe she’s written good, they just pretend to accept she’s not so they can guilt trip you into pitying the character enough not to hate her.) I don’t know if you’ve noticed that. I think it’s because piñata stans self insert onto Hinata who is a pitiful guilt tripper so they exhibit that same behavior?

oh yeah, they definitely do that. In fact one of the very first people to quote me is a well known Hinata-self insert. Suffers from anxiety and shit (but still tells ppl to off themselves like the bitch won't shit her pants when she has to make a phone call). They can't stand the heat when you bite back and start playing the victim on how you "harrassed them" lmao Sakura stans stand the heat for longer. But you need to be a pathetic loser to self-insert and find appealing a pathetic loser like Hinata so the behavior tracks.

why NauseAxe_404 loves your writing so much…

based on this silly tweet, I’m gonna use ‘Nick’ for this- for ease of writing (and for my poor poor hands.)

no pronouns but ‘you’- little post cuz I haven’t written in a while.- use of the in-game website: "Dumblr", no it's not a typo;-; Proshippers DNI

word count: 878

content warning: brief explanations of canon violence, creepy stalker-ish behavior (NOTHING SEXUAL ATTACHED), Nick being a weirdo honestly.

vvv that isn't my art, and this entire writing is a fanfic for a game " Monster x Mediator" made by HeadLocker! I really recommend playing the game or watching the gameplay, cuz it's really fantastic!

Story under cut :3

Nick’s in love with your writing…(if you already couldn’t tell), but it’s difficult for you to understand why.

Usually, when you'd open up your laptop, it was after a tough shift at your crap job and you just wanted to do something to fill in the time after dinner and before bed. It was always on the shorter side, 100 words each, and was normally just a quick and crappy self-insert fic to satisfy your creative urges from doing a boring-ass job all day. You never really thought your tiny one-shots would attract any attention, but the man you've been staying with proves otherwise.

"NauseAxe_404" is what he called himself, but you've just been calling him 'Nick' for now. He had been reading your old Dumblr blog for who knows how long, and he's taken a major interest in your little shitposts...So much, so that he had taken the time to print out every single one of your posts and personal information pinned to his room's walls. It's extremely creepy...but also sort of charming?

For the last few days or so, you've been held in Nick's hotel room, practically glued to a desk with a typewriter...slowly making your way through a 100-paged fic that he specifically requested of you. Though you technically could stand up and leave...you'd really prefer for your skull to stay in one piece...and not have a bullet put through your temple.

Nick has been staring at you almost the entire time...which only certified in your mind that he is not human. Every time you turn to see if he's still there...like an unmoving fortress, he always is. It's been a solid 8+ hours of you sitting there and writing...and your stomach starts to emit loud sounds of hunger. You pray he didn't hear that, and continue to type away at the dated machine. However, to your dismay, his deep voice chimes in.

"...What page are you on...?"

Nick asks, seemingly trying to speak quietly for you, but his naturally booming voice isn't giving you any favors.

"...uhm..."

You take a moment to review what you have done...it doesn't look like much but it feels like it took AGES to write out...

"About...10? It's not a-"

"That's wonderful, Superstar!"

He cuts you off just as you begin to speak.

Of course, he's going to be ecstatic. You can't fathom why he seems to be so hopelessly in love with whatever you slap on the paper. You're curious..so you begin to speak.

"...uhm...Nick...why do you..take interest in my writing?"

You softly speak, trying to be careful with your words...you can't afford to overstimulate this man.

For a chatty guy...Nick was oddly silent at the ask of this question…or at least for a few seconds.

“I was trying to find a way to ease the boredom and loneliness of this fucking hotel, so…huff…I joined Dumblr and started to search for writing…that was…huff….purposeful…and that could fix me..”

No way in hell your crackfics could change this man...He must've come out of the womb like that. (or...however the hell he was made..)

"...I came across your first post years ago..huff...and fell in love with the way you wrote your love interest....huff...I knew you were talking about me when I wrote all those comments~"

You never looked at comments due to embarrassment...and you honestly didn't think anyone would even care to comment in the first place.

"....you weren't responding to me...huff...so I might've found everything about you in the meantime...huff...just so I could notice you in a crowd...I always will~"

Okay, now it's getting creepy. You hope that by just turning back around and continuing to write maybe he'd shut up...You guess it's sorta your fault for striking up a conversation with the creep.

"All the other writers don't know shit about writing...huff...1k word counts...huff...long and complicated stories that don't make any fucking sense..."

There goes the rambles. You stop typing for a moment to process what the hell he just said. He either is really balls-deep into this fantasy of you being a perfect human...or he's just trying to fluff you up so you'll continue writing for him. He's really delusional, that's it. It's seriously hard to believe your crap was life-changing for Nick.

“Simplicity is the most important part…huff…not describing some stupid walk sequence for 3 sentences…huff…it’s a waste of space..”

"....maybe you just like simpler writing...?"

You softly reply, yet again praying that you didn't accidentally strike a chord with this guy. He stares you down, and even if you aren't looking back at him, you can still feel the burning of his eyes on the back of your head.

"That's possible."

Oh, it's highly probable. He gets so emotional over the tiniest bit of anything, so...He just doesn't need too many words to evoke a reaction...It checks out because you also like to write a straight-to-the-point sorta piece.

"but don't let your mind wander for...huff...too long...my superstar...you've got at least 90+ pages to go~"

Shit, he was right...time to get back to work.

[averycutesalamander]

Out of genuine curiosity, will we ever get more stuff of your self insert oc with or without Boots? Because even if the description on that original post says you can’t design clothes to save your life; I’d love to know The Lore™️. They’re dragon-y so are they a vidyadhara? Or like a western style dragon distant species relative from some other planet? How’d they get involved with good ol Yeehaw McTriggerfingers and did they ever end his air jail sentence?

abdjjdsjndbf honestly thank you for asking im kinda flattered hahaha. i have some vague lore about her relationship to boothill but it's been slowly taking shape. a while before boothill was teased i had actually started work on what's basically a trailblaze mission concept on a new planet. it's called Aloniir, and it's a desert planet, but i personally think that the trope of desert planets being barren, miserable hellscapes is overplayed, so it's actually quite rich with life. i have a whole document with details but ill spare you from most of it (unless you're somehow interested lol). i have a whole food chain planned and everything, it's kind of absurd bsbdbdnejabsbb

more utc because this got a teensy bit long

anyway i have a huge Thing about characters that experience monstrous transformations so that's the gimmick for all the characters from this planet. im still kind of on the fence about the exact details but the idea is that the planet went through a period of disaster eons ago, but via some kind of elation influence (direct influence from the aeon or from a stellaron, im not sure yet) they had a sort of insane rng element added to their genetics which allowed them to survive the harsh conditions with their various adaptations. they all have crazy unique powers and stuff. i have some ocs in the works but that would be in another post if anybody is interested lol

the current plotline im going with for my s/i is technically an au of the original concept for the world where the ipc yoinks them all up for Human Experimentation Purposes to learn how to utilize their biology for potential gains. (i have one character that's functionally immortal because she heals so quickly for example, which would obviously be of great value to them.)

boothill finds my s/i in a test tube on an ipc ship that he's raiding and realizes that she's probably a prisoner. he lets her out and she realizes that she.. kinda sorta has nowhere to go - no connections, no purpose, no real goals other than freeing the rest of her people; she can't go back home because of the ipc occupation, and she'd just get snatched right back up anyway. so she helps boothill escape, contemplating all the while, and it all culminates into the two of them being forced to jump off the ship to escape "by the wing," so to speak.

after they land, she asks if she can accompany him for a while, just to get her feet on the ground. he's hesitant, naturally, but he figures it can't hurt if it's just for a little while. turns out that they work very, very well together, and it's nice to have someone to bail him out if he bites off a bit more than he'd like to chew on his own. tale as old as time lol.

power-wise her abilities are sorta still nebulous in my head rn.. she has a regular fleshy dragon form and the skeletonized one from the original art. her skin burns up in the transition (think the animation after dragons die in skyrim) bc i think the mental image is cool as hell. i wanna give her some kinda additional abilities but i havent come up with anything yet !! heres some messy stuff for you

[stickyspeckledlight]

HAPPY ONE-YEAR ANNIVERSARY TO THIS BLOG (and oooo follower appreciation event too and giveaway/raffle; below in the read me bc I'm gonna force y'all to deal with my sappy sappy words first <3)

(don't bully me my art is shit)

Like. Wow. I can't believe this blog is ALREADY ONE YEAR OLD (well, 1 year and one day old, tho technically it's even older since it's just a reblog ACC converted into my writing blog---but I'VE ONLY BEEN WRITING FOR IT FOR A YEAR AND ONE DAY, SO THERE), and how many ppl have gathered here

But seriously, I can't believe how many people actually enjoy my fun lil drabbles (wdym 30k is a drabble---) like fr ppl tysm for enjoying the shit i cook like *blushes* I'm so happy we can all be fucked up freaks together UwU. others may look at us an think we're pineapple pizza, but they're ignorant. in reality they are the pineapple pizza. and yes anon who keeps sending me pineapple pizzas to my house (fabricated) i will come for you, I'm just very busy baking pineapple pizzas to stuff you with when your time comes. the grim reaper thinks it's a bit excessive, but i don't, so that means i am a perfectly reasonable and sane person.

I'd been wanting to write yandere fic for awhile, but never really did anything until last year on the good ol' march 23rd when aventurine made me simp so hard that i finally wrote yan fics. and since then tbh its a bit silly to say but life kinda feels a lot better knowing that I've a community to share these lil drabbles (stop calling them drabbles oml) with, yknow. its the small things <3

seriously, im so awed at how many cool ppl I've met since starting this blog. from the anon who sent me pineapple pizza, the anon who sent me banger comments abt destroyed onset, the anons who give me cardiac arrest, the anon who asked me how my corpse was doing, and literally every single anon who plays along with my bullshit (anon who sent sunday outfit ask I promise I'm getting to answer it but ngl everytime i try to i just end up cuddling into my own blankets thinking about how cozy sunday's outfit is---look if i read abt cozy things then i gravitate towards cozy things ok)---tysm for giving me a giggle! all of your comments and the things you send into my inbox are the absolute highlights of my day.

So, to show my appreciation, instead of working on Destroyed Onset 4 and 5, i will instead be doing.

COMMISSION RAFFLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (3/24/25 - 3/28/25)

it's quite simple. just follow my blog (new followers are welcomed ofc) and reblog this post, preferably with something stupid so i can laugh at it and maybe make a meme out of it. in fact you know what if you do then I'll double draw you into the raffle. see. I've given y'all an incentive now. REBLOG WITH STUPID SHIT IF YOU WANT TO BE ENTERED TWICE INTO THE RAFFLE. IS THIS FAIR? IS THIS JUST? IDK BUT IT SEEMS FUNNY SO IMA DO IT LMAO. what are you going to do, stop me? ha, puny mortal. there is no stopping me now. because I'm having a good time, having a good ti---

once you're entered into the raffle, i'll draw some names and reward the following:

ONE person gets a full-length fic (somewhere between ~2-5k words)

ONE person get a shortfic (so up to ~1-2k words)

TWO people get a drabble (~200 - 500 words)

(but tbh knowing me all of these might end up way longer then i intend them to be---we'll see lmao)

This will run from TODAY, March 24th, to FRIDAY March 28th. One Friday passes, the names will be locked in and I'll DM the winners to discuss commission details.

As for requesting/commission rules, they're on my main page under 'Other Stuff' (alongside the tag guide). But since these are commissions, I'll add that I'm perfectly willing to write OC or Self-Inserts. I will not write non-yan fics though, just because tbh I have a really hard time writing pure fluff; like, it's not that i can't write fluff, but after a bit it's hard to resist the urge to insert something that's at least A LITTLE dark or angsty, lmao. But also just cuz this is a yandere blog, I'd like to keep my writing focused on yandere

Note: Commissions will be private, unless the commissioner gives me permission to post

With that, thank you!

Oh, and for the people who end up getting the above prizes, I might give y'all some participation memes. Just like. Compensary. You don't get fic but you get a lame semi-mass produced speckled meme

[theamazingdigitalraceway]

Hellooo! A while back, I made an ask thanking you for changing my opinion on showtime! At the time, I almost didn't send it cause I was being paranoid.

But now thanks to caffeine, I feel no fear!

So tell me, what made you prefer showtime as your otp other than.. Idk, buttonblossom or.. Jax x Ragatha (don't remember the ship name. Bunnydoll?)

Well, it all comes down to Caine himself. He's my favorite character in the show. It all started when I was just looking for Caine art back when I first entered the fandom, I couldn't get enough of him.

At the time, the only Caine ship that really stuck out to me was Showtime, so I latched onto it in a pseudo-self-insert kind of way, but by the time I started writing fanfiction, I had familiarized myself with Pomni as a character and I thought.....this could work.

I'm a sucker for AI-falls-in-love or becomes more human because of someone who cares enough. Think Detroit Become Human. (Loved that game) After episode 2, when Pomni shows her full capacity for empathy to an AI such as Gummigoo, that really sent my synapses firing about "What if she did that with Caine?"

So I wrote my first Showtime oneshot, "Creative Liberty" and haven't looked back. Technically I wrote the first few chapters of Raceway first, but that was when I was still familiarizing myself with the characters. I consider Creative Liberty my first real showtime fic.

While Showtime is most certainly my favorite, it's not my only ship. I'm a "multi-shipper" So my brain can easily move around the characters and pair them up in a lot of different ways that I still enjoy. That's why on my main blog I tell people "all ships are welcome." Even the crack ones lol.

Because like Goosworx herself said, "Ship whoever you want, just stop attacking each other!" We're here to have fun! Thank you for your question. This might have been a bit more in depth than you were expecting, but I wanted to answer honestly.

PS- Jax x Ragatha is Bunnydoll and is my second favorite overall ship :3

PSS- The only ship that I'm like eeh on is RoyalCourt (PomnixKinger) especially after episode 3. I ship them in a father-daughter way, It's hard for me to picture them in a romantic sense.

[thewhumpcaretaker]

The bust of Vincent is a truly beautiful and amazing work of art. Like genuine classical quality. I'm honestly awed.

Now I want a fic where he commissions it himself, in marble, out of vanity...but the sculptor puts the heart in on their own, to see if he notices...

Here is the sculpture anon is talking about. Wow!! Thank you so incredibly much. That really means a lot to me. I loved working on that project and I’m so happy people got some value out of it.

I went ahead and made a very indulgent fic based on this, with a random artist OC named Catherine Tucker (yes, shameless self insert).

⋆˙⟡♡ The Sculptor’s Statement ♡⟡˙⋆

No trigger warnings apply.

Catherine Tucker,

We have received your commission this morning in good condition, but I would appreciate a little explanation.

You've done my eyes in the manner of Michelangelo's David. An antiquated technique, no? A full line from top to base representing a streak of light, as in Bernini's Louis XIV, is more advanced. And even supposing you've chosen Michelangelo's approach for a reason, isn't it common practice to round the base of the pupil perfectly, not to create this tapered V? I look at it and look at it, but I can only read it as an intentional heart shape. If that is a joke, it's a bad one.

Do correct me if I'm mistaken. I would request a sculptural revision, but a mishandling of imperial portraiture would be so disappointing that it would warrant taking a chisel to your position at the Table, rather than merely chipping at some marble.

Dans l'attente de votre réponse, Marquis Vincent Bisset de Gramont

Dear Marquis Vincent Bisset de Gramont,

I will come to the main point first: yes, there is an intentional heart shape, in both eyes. While Michelangelo's technique is still very much in use, I admit there are many others, such as the one you named, and I chose this one deliberately. I could talk about the resurgence of pop art into contemporary realism and populism into contemporary underground politics, and the potential references to both anime and classicism that paints you as an adored idol in every sense. Such an artist statement would indeed be the interpretation gleaned by most audiences, but that is not my real reason.

Now, what should we do about this? I wish I could tell you whether the portrait really does call for an amendment. But in such cases as this, when working with a busy public figure whose inner life remains shrouded in mystery, an artist's view of the subject is so limited. I will tell you my reasoning. You alone must tell me whether I have gone wrong, and act accordingly.

Although I was provided with your formal photography and referenced it throughout for technical purposes, our brief meeting and the resulting sketches remained the chief source of my inspiration when depicting you. I worked, in the main, from memory. And what solidified itself most strongly in my memory when it came to you? What did I learn of you?

The answer is…almost nothing. You were cordial, pleasant. It was an uncommonly cold and clear morning when we met, and you were eating a parfait, and making delicate noises about it. You had the most subtle chin dimple I've ever encountered, apparent only when flexing the jaw. Your hair produced a satin sheen that I knew I had to mimic. Your eyes melted between green and amber, and they terrified me in the softness around their undershadow, the depth of your brow's awning. They did not move when you smiled. Yet I believed everything you said. It was terribly embarrassing for me to look at you, as if I was looking at God.

When asked for anecdotes about yourself, you said…things. But they did not seem to affect you. You spoke to me in quotes and nuggets of wisdom, told me how I ought to approach the portrait. They were good quotes, and good advice, and I did approach the portrait that way. But I could not find you among any of these words. I think it's this quality which unsettles your enemies so deeply. How can anyone strike at you if you are entirely hidden? It's ingenious.

This was what I thought of constantly, for my entire period of work on the bust. I know objectively that your life so far must have been an interesting one, probably both adventurous and tragic, full of effort and sacrifice and advancement. It remains full to the brim with every excitation possible. And yet, I will never know that part of you, and none of our mutual colleagues have ever spoken to me about it, if they know. Do you know this part of yourself, do you live it fully, or have you given it up in favor of something even greater in your eyes? Who can say. That makes it all the more tantalizing. Your heart shines out persistently, drawing attention to itself in negative space, compelling and magnetic as a vacuum. Your every look blazes with that heart, which is, in itself, a play of darkness against light.

The news of your promotion reached me during the finishing touches, and if that didn't settle it, what would? It had to be hearts, in your eyes. If Wick looks at them too long, and is the kind of man who cannot endure a heart, I think it will be the end of him.

As a final note, congratulations on the Autem Imperatorship. It has been an honor to immortalize some portion of the mortal man, before you become a symbol and find yourself quite beyond all of us. Happy hunting.

If I may be so bold, I am…

Your dutiful (if flawed) mirror,

C.T.

29? :]

What was your first fandom you were in? Did you make any art/fanfic for it?

Ooooooh lemme think…technically I’ve been watching studio ghibli since I was like 5 and Lord of the Rings since I was like 6 so those would be the first, but since I grew up with those they felt just like a natural part of my life, so I’m going to go with my first hyper-fixation fandoms instead, which were Merlin and Sherlock. I got into them when I was in Jr High when both were still releasing (Sherlock only had one season at the time). I never did any fanfic or art of either of them, but I dressed up as Sherlock Holmes for Halloween, got Sherlock Holmes books, starting watch the RDJ Sherlock Holmes movies, had the “I AM SHERLOCKED” phone screen, lots of Benedict Cumberbatch pictures, lot of Sherlock and Merlin Pinterest board stuff, etc.

I did, however, make Doctor Who fan art, which was my very next fandom hyper-fixation. I think I was a freshman in high school when I made this in honor of the 50th anniversary. I also did a Star Trek/Doctor Who/self-insert fanart...but it's making me cringe just looking at it, so maybe I'll just keep that one to myself...

OH! I also started a Doctor Who Fanfic on Wattpad when I was around 18... It was called the Time Convict, and it is one of the two fan fictions I've ever written. Though I've very recently been thinking about trying my hand at fan fiction again.

for potential art reasons, do you have designs/ideas for Kepler during the Rebels period of time? sending this in as an ask to also give you the opportunity to gush about the bestest padawan there is uwu - @limey-self-inserts

LIMEY MY FRIEND LIMEY 🥺🫶🫶 you're so so sweet and sorry for not getting to this sooner, it's bcs you inspired me! I actually had drawn up a design for Rebels!Kepler, but it was a bit old so I decided to redraw it

So here it is, the first colored pic is 31-year-old Rebels era Kep, and the sketch is of an 18-year-old Kep I did for the Inquisitor!Brea AU but I decided to include it because if you just add the scars he'd retain from being wounded in the escape from Order 66 that'd be what he looks like at that age regardless! (Some more info under the cut, warning for EXTREME angst)

After fleeing the temple with Brea, they eventually both reunite with Rex! And I literally didn't even think of it until just now, but their reunion is probably a very bittersweet one on Kepler's part 0_0 Technically they'd encounter the bad batch first, and I imagine Kep has a...really strong reaction to seeing troopers again after Order 66. He isn't killed in this AU but he IS badly wounded, and disabled for the rest of his life, so I feel as much as Brea panics when seeing them he has a full blown attack that she has to bring him down from.

Eventually he understands that clone force 99 are cool, and they're starting to unravel the mystery of Order 66 but that doesn't mean it'd be easy for him to adjust to having Rex around. They used to be so close, Kep admired him as a male role model more than anyone, but now he flinches every time Rex's hand even brushes his blaster, even though Rex would never ever hurt him now. 😭😭😭

It takes a lot of time for them all to start to recover from the trauma it caused them. But eventually they DO start to feel like the family they always thought they would be, especially when Rex and Brea's first child is born, Kaiza! I really gotta draw more family stuff, but I think when Kep holds her for the first time it finally solidifies in his mind that this is his new life, his true family, and for the first time in a long time (and at least for now) he is safe...

Until ofc Rex leaves for milk (joopas) and doesn't come back but that's another thing entirely 😂😂😂

The Supa MAIN POST!!!

Note: All asks will be considered canon for the story going forward, no matter how weird it is.

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

👑 What is this AU about?

This AU focuses around a self-centered cat named ‘Mal’ who is interviewed by Y/N (you guys) to discuss his envious rivalry with Petey, which may or may not turn into a love-hate relationship. -wink wink-

💛What timeline does the AU take place?

The story mainly takes place right in between the events of Dog Man Unleashed and Dog Man: A Tale of Two Kitties. So it’s kind of like a side story but one that will have a impact on the regular story.

👑Which is your favorite Dog Man book?

I want to say Dog Man and Cat Kid, it was the second book I’ve ever read from the series and it has been my favorite ever since.

💛Will the original characters appear in the AU?

Yes, but only for a short amount of time since the story is mainly revolved around Mal, Y/N, Petey, and Dog Man.

👑Does Lil’ Petey exist in this AU?

Well…sorta, but not really. The plan for this AU was to make it Mal’s idea to create a clone in the upcoming events of Tale of Two Kitties, not Petey’s. But instead of just his DNA sample, he uses a bit of Petey’s as well. So Lil’ Petey sorta exists here, but technically goes by a different name with a different look.

💛What inspired you to make the AU?

Well, growing up, I used to read these all the time in class while the teacher was instructing. In fact my discovery of Dog Man came from a bunch of Captain Underpants books I also used to read in my free time. One day I got bored and decided to make a Dog Man OC, which looks way different from what you’re seeing on the top. I didn’t want the OC looking like a recolor of Petey the Cat so I decided to scrap it for good.

After making a few changes to his fur color, whiskers, and throwing in a crown accessory, I deemed it approval for storytelling. The art style wasn’t hard to replicate though there was a few flaws in trying to get the mouth shape correct, so I looked for references and finally got it right.

Now inspiration wise, I couldn’t help but wonder what would happen if Petey had a rival that wasn’t Dog Man, what if he was a feline just like him? And that’s where I came up with the idea to make a entitled feline who wants to out do Petey every chance he got to become king of the cats.

👑Is Dog Man a main character, or a side character?

Sadly he’s not the main focus here, despite the title saying so. Dog Man is still the main protagonist, however the story is told by a different perspective this time, aka Mal’s. Think of it like a POV, every character has one eventually.

🔒What is Mal’s backstory?

[This section is temporary locked, find the silver key to unlock it.]

💛Is Mal short for anything or is his name just Mal?

I wanted of his name to be ironic sounding as possible, so I decided to make it short for ‘Malicious’.

🔒Why does Mal hate Petey so much?

[This section is temporary locked, find the gold key to unlock it.]

👑Why some of the questions on the main post have locks on them? And what do they mean?

This is a simple question with a simple answer: it means you all as the Y/N must look for clues in the comic to find the required key. If you spot the correct key, point it out in the comments that way the main post gets updated and the locked questions are unlocked.

💛Are there any specific tags we have to use, including fan art, shipping, etc.?

(This section will be updated depending on how well the story goes, but in the meantime the following tags will be:)
