#thank you for asking :D

[cloudabserk]

Do you have a specific watercolor brush pack that you use? I really love your textures

i use the lasso tool on the Sketches app on an ipad! specifically the 5th watercolor pattern:

and since others have asked, i’ll mention that for lineart ive usually used the 1st ink brush or the lasso tool’s 4th paint pattern:

but lately i’ve been using a custom brush i made on procreate, and i’ll export the procreate lineart to the sketches app and color it there with the watercolor lasso.

here’s some examples: the watercolor layers on their own without the lineart, the basic ink brush with watercolor coloring, the paint pattern lasso as lineart with watercolor coloring, and the paint pattern of the lasso tool only:

could we have a sneak peek into your colour pallet? your color and art in whole is so captivating and ethereal and I lowkey wanna color like you 🤭

hello !! like the palette i use to color pick from?

i'm not sure if this helps at all but this is a general palette of what i use when coloring (although i mostly just guess on colors, these are just the ones i use most often or like what i put down when im shading)

the blue accents i like rarely use, that's mostly when i try using blue hard light for accents (like in the killua drawing)

if you don't mind 51 for coldflash, harrisco and hartmon?

51.) What’s a non verbal way they say I love you?

ColdFlash:

Barry is feeling down and suddenly oh no. Captain Cold is stealing from a jewelry store/museum/whatever. The Scarlet Speedster must surely stop him... sure there's a lot of verbal flirting involved, witty repartee and puns flying around. But it's the gesture itself. Barry knows Len's doing this to cheer him up and if that doesn't say I love you then no crime possibly could.

Meanwhile Barry has absolutely also stolen things to cheer Len up. It started with stealing Len's stuff and being rewarded like a cute puppy but it has evolved into them occasionally stealing stuff together. And Team Flash just goes 'I pretend I cannot see and it is not happening'.

Harrisco:

Harry really likes to brush Cisco's hair and then braid it for him. Especially once he let's it go past shoulder length. There's something really comforting about the whole experience for both of them and it's kind of a big deal in that it's Harry asking for something he wants and then being very gentle about it. And then Cisco trusting Harry with his hair which is... not something he really allows to someone he isn't in love with.

Hartmon:

Cisco likes to dress Hartley up in his t-shirts, something Hartley has accepted as gracefully as he can. It helps that the t-shirts are actually really comfy and soft and worn in and smell like Cisco. It eventually becomes Hartley outright stealing Cisco's clothes to wear when he wants to feel comforted/closer to Cisco which, of course, absolutely delights Cisco to no end.

Cisco eventually started stealing Hartley's clothes too. They might be more formal/less whimsical but they were warmer for winter and also soft and worn in and smell like Hartley, which was a bit like getting to have a hug from Hartley all day.

They both know it's something they do because they love each other and so when one of them is committing clothes theft the other feels loved just seeing this. But also knows that the other perhaps needs more feelings of love and support today too.

So I know that Evil Computer wants to murder the celestials but I am very curious on what his dynamic would be with my Mental Casualty Sun.

Because like he wants to make the rest of the celestials suffer and EC (evil computer) wants to kill them

I think they’d get along. The evil computer doesn’t mind making them suffer for what they put him through, either. Death was just the easiest choice for him. They would be like an evil duo haha.

[seven-oh-four]

@water-mellie-seeds OKAY SO !!!!!!!!!!

Marina (the 🐙) is like, very overtly in love with pearl. pearl shows less signs of being in love with marina but it's still pretty clear that she loves her back and they are dating. but MARINA. her computer background is pearl, she uses heart emojis whenever she's talking about her, and her workspace at the Grand Festival is full of Pearl merch.

and also she says stuff like this.

as for pearl! well, one time in a rap battle where she was supposed to be dissing her opponent she spent a whole... stanza? idk what they're called, bragging about her awesome girlfriend (whom her opponent then refers to as a groupie)

and also this got said

and they are holding hands in the Grand Festival artwork and it is the central point of the composition and their fingers are interlocked in the trailer where this artwork is used they are animated to do that little hand squeeze people do when holding hands

also their part of Three Wishes

(also i had to listen to this part of three wishes again to get those screenshots and even just this small amount of exposure to the song is having Effects on me again!!!!!!!!!)

so anyways yeah pearl and marina are gay together :3

[tetsuskei]

risu!! please tell us more about hybrid kujax omg!! do you both have little actions that you do to each other that are endearing? or anything else you'd like to share <33

hiii cora, i ruminated upon this as i was just writing some thoughts in my notes.

grooming:

i think that the way i take care of myself and my appearance is something childe admires. he appreciates the effort i put into my outfits, and adores how i style my hair. he watches me brush my tail sometimes and asks me if i can do the same for him. he’s even more flustered when i will fuss with something he is wearing or if i tell him in passing abt something that would look good on him.

sleeping:

i sleep…a lot. LMAO but he gets cuteness aggression from seeing how peaceful i am asleep. even more ecstatic if i feel asleep on his lap or wearing something of his. i think he also gets a little horny from ideas of wanting to corrupt me while i’m sleeping >_> but he holds back.

fighting:

i won’t openly admit it but watching him fight or train really does make my head spin. scent kink i feel like kicks in from being able to smell his sweat paired with his aftershave. i ask him to show me self defense sometimes and when he does teach me he looks very attractive >_> sometimes i get easily distracted by what he’s saying or doing because, well, look how fit he is! it’s not my fault he’s attractive, idk.

cooking/cleaning:

he is the better cook out of the two of us. it is something he loves doing and i help where i can to learn things and also to spend time with him. he gets really focused on what he’s doing, sometimes lost in his own world which is really cute 😔. cleaning is something i think we both enjoy doing as it’s therapeutic. we both feel very warm inside watching either other do domestic things. often sometimes handsy with each other.

Can I ask about the LMK Fanon Macaque design? And the Spider Queen x Wukong fake dating au??? I am intrigued :3

oooooh

lol ok, there is not much to these two rn, fair warning Basically I saw people coming up their version of LMK character designs and then I really wanted to come up with one for Macaque, but since I can't draw at a level that does the design justice, I just decided to write a story where Macaque has that design. As for the premise; basically MK and Bai He take Macaque to a Journey To The West themed Chuckie Cheese type place and Macaque gets into a fight with the pilgrim animatronics that entertain kids there.

As for the fake dating thing: basically I really wanted to write something where Wukong and Spider Queen are best friends (because I love them as friend) but then I added ✨drama ✨ by having them fake date because SQ is a closeted lesbian and doesn't want her parents to question why she's still single and Wukong's just a really solid bestie. And then something something endgame ships are shadowpeach and Spider Queen x Scorpion Queen because those are my two brainrot ships :P

[evan-on-the-internet]

for the nosy anons my asks are 7-10, 39,19,43 and 44!

Hmm. uhmm. I'm pretty loud a lot of the time :3? (I dunno :3)

L’Manbur–💥💥💥‼️ ← silly enough I think :33

uhmm, this is a random fact about WW1 I know :3!! In the battle of somme, 60,000 british soldiers were killed within the first day, I think :]

I'm assuming you're.. uhh.. @lmanburgseulogy?? 🤔🤔.

[choccy-zefirka]

Hi love your writing its amazing and gives me happy brain chemicals 💜

Is there a specific tag to use to find them all or are they collected elsewhere?

Again love your writing so much 💜💜

Hoooo boy, my blog is very disorganized and Tumblr's lack of search function does not help matters. I had all my tags up in my pinned at some point, but then they just... decided to stop working??? So I gave up on having a streamlined tagging system. Gods know I tried.

I do tend to tag my art and fic as original things, maybe that might help! And I recently introduced an age gap ship tag for Emmrook and magister Alexius (and some other stuff), for the sake of my friend who does not enjoy such things so that they can filter them out; but if you are drawn to such things instead, it might also be a good place to look!

Niecest Weekend 2024! Gimme the spoilers

hi!! i'm here!! i'm sorry it took so long! i will pitch to you my day two, a canonverse age swap in which nmj goes to a gloryhole to suck strangers off because he wants to service his da-ge sooooooooo bad he doesn't know what to do!

a little snip below the cut:

Nie Mingjue wasn’t very good at waiting. On Night Hunts, he was always the first to confront the guai or whatever else. During conferences, he got jittery if the long-winded sect leaders puffed themselves up for more than half an incense time instead of talking about the relevant topics which were to be discussed. When he did meditate, he found himself bored and wishing he could do saber forms with Baxia instead very shortly.

His wait wasn’t very long, fortunately. Just long enough to get Nie Mingjue squirmy, to make him flex his jaw repeatedly in anticipation for what was to come. He came with enough regularity that there were others who gravitated toward the back rooms during the time he was there.

That, too, was a source of shame, that he was indecent with such predictability. If his da-ge could see him, Nie Mingjue was sure that he would earn one of those supremely unimpressed looks that he sometimes doled out. Worse, Nie Mingjue would have disappointed his da-ge on a level that he can only scarcely imagine. Nie Huaisang kept his dalliances private and within their sphere—to go and whore himself out like this made Nie Mingjue infinitely worse, in his own mind.

[galactose-galaxy]

✏️ & 🌈? :)

"Both. Kinda" I use both forms for different reasons and inevitable outcomes. Typically traditional in the form of ink, watercolour, or pastel are reserved for the truly emotional pieces of work I do. The material and the inability to truly erase mistakes brings out a raw and often deeply introspective. The creation process with traditional is far more cathartic in my opinion due to the hands-on-ness, and often I go this route if I truly need to destress and relax. However, digital art is the medium I am most experienced in. So, if I am not looking for the process of creation, and simply wish for the outcome, I will go towards digital. Nothin' beats a sparklecat for the soul sometimes.

"Warm, I think. I try to experiment with colours usually." I genuinely tend to leave things colourless (when not experimenting) or a direct rep of how I want the thing perceived. Such as an exact colour of the character I am drawing just shifted to fit a cold toned environment. Though, it seems I tend to lean towards warmer tones?

For Cyrus Pokemon 👀

1. Why do you like or dislike this character?

8. What's something the fandom does when it comes to this character that you despise?

24. What other character from another fandom of yours that reminds you of them?

And I need to ask you this about Ganondorf:

25. What was your first impression of this character? How about now?

1. Why do you like or dislike this character?

I don't know haha. Cyrus is very different from the type of characters that I like (Giovanni is more like my archetype of fave XD) but with Cyrus a big part of why I like him so much as a character has to do with Pokespe and his interactions with Diamond and how he developed in the story (that part where he throws fists with the fucking champion and then the gym leaders is awesome). Also, because in games there is not a lot of info about him (only enough to understand his context) there are many ways to interpret him and I think other games (USUMO and pokemas) did a great job with his character. I love him, he is my boy 💙

8. What's something the fandom does when it comes to this character that you despise?

Hmmm I don't like it when he is represented as a victim 🤔. Like yeah it sucks his parents neglect him, but it also sucks to have the emotions of people erased because the dude can't deal with his emotions. I could also say I don't like how sometimes people underestimate how far he is willing to go just to do what he wants, he is not a good person. But that also depends on which version of Cyrus we are talking about

24. What other character from another fandom of yours that reminds you of them?

I was going to say I don't know, but then I remembered Hajime Saito from Rurouni Kenshin, they are so similar in the way they act so cold and indifferent towards their enemies-made friends by certain circumstances, and they say they won't help them, but help them anyway (at least pokemas cyrus). He also reminds me of Piccolo in that way too

And I need to ask you this about Ganondorf:

25. What was your first impression of this character? How about now?

Oh I was like 11 or 12 yo when I first played OoT, and that was my first Zelda game. I remember the scene where he is riding the black horse through the fucking flames and I was like "Wow how extra. Who's that guy". He is been my favorite Zelda character since then. Also, the scene were he get out from all the castle hubris and transforms into ganon is so damn cool. Also, his voice in oot was so cool too, is my fave ganondorf voice, even if he doesn't have lines haha.

24 18 35 46 ❤️

From this ask game

18 - what hair products do you use?

Right now--only shampoo. And it is the kind my hair tolerates, but I bought it while moving so I'm gonna finish it gdi. I mean it isn't terrible for my hair, but it doesn't work as well as the shampoo bar I typically use.

24 - if we were together on a rooftop, what would we be doing?

I'd insist we talk about characters and writing and the stuff we like while sharing a box of cookies. ... I mean we could talk about other things but I'm bringing cookies to share.

35 - what’s your timezone?

UTC - 7 / PDT (Pacific Daylight Time)

46 - favorite holiday film?

I don't celebrate Christmas but I love love The Muppet Christmas Carol

Iris and Caitlin for the character opinion bingo?

Iris

I had to use purple lightning for her bingo markers. Hehehe

So Iris is a character I have sooooo many strong opinions about because of how the narrative treats her. I think she deserves so much better than she gets, especially given how canon doesn't really seem to know what it's doing with her sometimes. And unfortunately there's a swath of fandom that hates her for being the black love interest of a white man, whether they want to admit that's their reason for hating her or not.

I wish she got more focus not just on her personal life but on her work. Iris' job as an investigative journalist was a deep well of interesting plot lines but even when the show did attempt to dip into that well... they wound up sidelining Iris in the mirror world or making her writing the sort of after-event round up. The Central City Citizen's shift from being a small start up to a big name with big offices happened off screen between seasons.

Anyway, I would have the biggest squish on her if she were a real person I knew. I wanna give her so many hugs when bad things happen to her. (Especially after Eddie died and later when Barry gets temporarily imprisoned in the speed force.) Of course I also like putting her in the Situations with the Bad Things. So. I can at least make others give her the hugs.

Now for...

Caitlin

The closest MS Paint was coming to blue snowflakes for her bingo markers.

If canon didn't know what to do with Iris then it really didn't know what to do with Caitlin. To the point that she's basically written out of two seasons so that two different alters can front her body in her place. And their inability to write her a love interest post Ronnie without screwing it up somehow (evil, no chemistry, thank god Danielle put her foot down, no chemistry again... and finally evil fake Ronnie) was just... I mean I guess it was good for me as it played into my arospec and acespec headcanons for her but how badly do you have to fail to understand your own character to put her on a shelf for a season twice???

Honestly while I enjoy Frost as a separate character from Caitlin, I still lament the fourth season retcon that made them split personalities and not just how Caitlin was with her powers activated. Caitlin ended S3 with so much promise for her next character arc as somewhere between anti-hero and anti-villain and... the retcon robbed us - robbed her.

And of course Caitlin has her fandom haters. But I think what's worse are her 'fans' who prop her up by tearing Iris down. And... if you can only raise up your fav by tearing some other character down then do you actually like that 'fav' or do you just like tearing the other character down?

Mind if I send in a writing request?

Spaniard gets fixed after the whole Goliath incident, and gets put back in the daycare.

He thinks that he’s ok since he’s back now, only to eventually realize that he’s not completely ok.

He realizes that the fact that he almost died has actually gotten to him a lot, to the point where even mentioning Goliath around him makes him a little nervous.

Of course, he doesn’t mention this to anyone, and keeps it to himself.

His reasoning being that the celestials have been through worse, so why would what he went through matter?

(Of course!)

The computer settled his systems as he watched the daycare through the security cameras. It had been a week or so since the incident with Goliath, and Moon and Solar finally decided to fix him. It was a slow day with very little children to watch while Sun was busy with another group, so Spaniard let his mind wander.

And it wandered right to the place he didn’t want it to.

Thoughts of Goliath filled his mind as he swiftly tried to squash them. If he had a heart, it would be racing. The mention of his killer’s mere name brought great terror to him for a reason he did not know. Thankfully, though, he was usually able to shut down his mind’s anxious ramblings early. Today was no such day.

Errors flashed across his nonexistent eyes as he fruitlessly tried to stop the anxiety bubbling within him. He felt as if he couldn’t breathe, which was odd as he does not have a body to breathe through.

Soon, however, the warning messages finally dissipated, the red flashing on the computer screen gone. All the children were gone, leaving only Sun and Moon in the daycare. Had he really been attacking his memory for that long?

“Computer,” Moon addressed sternly, “why are there warning messages flashing across my screen?”

The computer formulated an excuse rather briefly. “My systems are still adjusting,” he replied in that monotonous tone.

“Why didn’t you remove the warnings, then?” Moon asked, pushing further.

“I was unable to,” the computer stated flatly. That was true; he was unable to, but the errors were there for an entirely different reason.

“Looks like you need more maintenance again,” Moon muttered under his breath, vexed. “Goliath really did a number on your systems.”

The mention of his murderer cracked Spaniard’s resolve slightly, his voice somewhat shaky as he spoke. “I can fix it myself.”

Sun and Moon both shared a look at how uncharacteristically anxious he was, but said nothing about it. Sun began cleaning and Moon began looking through possible dimensions with wither shards.

Spaniard couldn’t keep going like this. He couldn’t let his systems keep getting worked up over nothing. Normally, he would have told the truth to Moon. Lying was against his programming. But the celestial family was far too busy for his feelings, and they needed him in perfect shape to keep the portal running. So he would fix himself in private. He opened his memory banks, scrolling through code until he found the memory he wanted.

Death by Goliath was the title of the memory he was searching for. He tended to name his memories to make them easier to go through.

The computer selected the memory and “clicked” delete. Errors flashed across his screen, warning him of the dangers deleting one of his memories could cause. Frustrated by the bright red labels plaguing his vision, Spaniard continued to select delete, practically spamming the button as an impatient person may do.

The computer he was held in made a loud beeping noise, getting the unwanted attention of Moon.

“Computer?? Why are you trying to delete your memories?” Moon sounded baffled at best and annoyed at worst. Before Moon could see the memory the computer was trying to delete, Spaniard quickly emptied the logs and hid any activity from the monitor’s access.

“A glitch,” he stuttered out, mentally cursing himself for losing his resolve. “A glitch and nothing more.”

Bones 💕🏳️‍🌈🎥

🎥 do you have any favorite scenes from your hyperfixation?

💕 tell us about one of your favorite characters and why you like them!

Bones has so many amazing characters and I love them all, but as an autistic person Brennan is especially important to me! Seeing a character to allowed to be blunt, and not understand jokes, and tie all conversations back to her main interest, but also be kind and respected and have people who love and care about her means so much

🏳‍🌈 do you have any headcanons (lgbt, race, neuro, etc) that are important to you?

going through this character by character cause there’s so many (just going the ones that are very important to me, but know that I also love the other characters)

Brennan: autistic, (ok that’s canon but yknow) and bi

Zack: autistic (also more or less canon), trans, and gay

Hodgins: audhd, trans, bi

Sweets: autistic, ocd, gay or bi im not sure yet, canadian, trans

Vincent: audhd, gay, trans, some sort of anxiety disorder

Cam: ocd, queer but idk specifics maybe unlabelled
