#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

[mythicalmagical-monkeyman]

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]

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.

♥ - family headcanon

Yein has a twin brother, Sacheo! Perhaps you have seen him pop up here and there under @notorious-sparrow. The two are twins who remain close at their very core, because they love each other despite how they might behave toward one another.

The strain in their current relationship stems heavily from Sacheo's unwillingness to release the past. He grieves eternally, existing as a gaping wound. Yein wishes to bury that past and lay it to rest. He resents Yein for this, believing they are abandoning the memories of their family.

In a pinch, however, they can always reach out to one another. Sacheo will always come running to Yein, and Yein would never abandon Sacheo.

✏️ & 🌈? :)

"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.

[kitkatt0430]

5, 10, 26?

5.) Has fandom ever ruined a pairing for you?

So my first thought is no and I think that's how I usually answer this. But it may actually be a bit more complicated in a 'no but yes' sort of way.

So. Oliver/Felicity was not the original plan for the Arrow. Felicity wasn't even supposed to be a main character. She wasn't even supposed to be there beyond that one episode she first showed up in. But the actress made such an impression on the cast, show runners, and the audience that she became more important. And while a lot of people - including myself - assumed she was an original character for the show, it turns out she was supposed to be just another comics cameo shout out to a character not even Green Arrow comics adjacent. Apparently comics Felicity Smoak was Ronnie Raymond's antagonist and step mom.

O_o The more you know, huh?

Anywho, presumably the original plan for the show was Oliver/Laurel endgame. Like in the comics, where Dinah/Oliver - with Laurel being Dinah Laurel Lance, after all - being Oliver's partner both in vigilantism and romance. It... obviously didn't go that way with Laurel being brutally and unnecessarily killed off for shock value in S4. And that may have happened in part because of the popularity of the Olicity ship.

Backtracking a bit here, but Felicity's actress and Oliver's actor had great onscreen chemistry from day one. I can understand why the show runners chose to pivot to this ship, given that chemistry and the sheer popularity of the ship with the fans.

Oliver/Felicity pretty quickly became the most popular ship for the fandom and it still is. Not even Oliver/Barry - the second most tagged ship for the fandom over on Ao3 - has even a quarter of the fics that Olicity has. 12,600+ fics as of this moment and no doubt it'll continue to steadily go up. (for comparison, Olivarry has 1,600+ fics tagged)

Honestly, I shipped Felicity/Oliver pretty quickly while watching S1 too. I liked their dynamic, that she was the sunshine to Oliver's grumpy, she was willing to call him out even when he still scared her, and she - at the time, anyway - was willing to respect that she wasn't entitled to his secrets.

But time marched on. The show began to flanderize the characters to some degree even as they fleshed them out in others. Felicity lost her willingness to respect Oliver's boundaries, Oliver proved incapable of keeping character development from one season to the next... and as Felicity/Oliver moved from interesting chemistry to ship tease to official couple, they began to bring out the worst parts of each other. And my enjoyment that they were finally together soured.

How much of them being the official couple was because of the show runners picking up on the actors chemistry independently of the fans and how much was them seeing how much the fans wanted it so why not... we'll probably never really know for sure. But I suspect that fandom's shipping of the characters in the early days before Oliver/Laurel had a chance to truly be cemented was what both contributed to them being the official couple and thus killing my enjoyment of the ship.

(I suspect that Laurel/Oliver were meant to follow the path that Iris/Barry eventually did. Both Laurel and Iris were dating someone else in S1, a someone else who died in the finale after a reveal that they were related to the main villain in some way. In S2 Iris and Laurel are both learning to move on and find themselves without that relationship. But in S3 of the Flash, Iris and Barry finally hook up, but Laurel begins her vigilante arc in S3 that puts her at odds with Oliver while Felicity gets a love triangle with Oliver and Ray where Ray 'dies' at the end of the season... a little familiar sounding am I right?)

So fandom did not directly ruin the Olicity ship for me, but there is an argument to be made that it did so indirectly. So no... but also yes.

10.) Most disliked arc? Why?

It's so hard to choose because, sadly, there are so many.

It could be Mark Blaine trying to kill Khione to get Frost back, throwing a hissy fit when he's told no, and then creeping on Khione like she's Frost's replacement goldfish.

It could be the promise that S6 would give us an important Iris plot that turned out to being Iris side lined in the mirror world, stuck there while the real plot was going on else where, being forced to watch a duplicate most likely rape her husband, be about to break out of the mirror world herself only to be immediately turned into a damsel for Barry to rescue, and the creepy way she doesn't speak at all between waking up after the 'rescue' and going to kickstart the modified ASF to wake the original Speed Force back up... (Okay, yeah, this is probably arc I hate the most but...)

It could be how we were promised an important plot line for Cisco in S7 before he left the show and got what looked like the show runners forgetting about that until the last minute, giving us what could have been a fun episode if it were not completely ruined by Cisco's massively out of character decision to tell his besties he's leaving for ARGUS at the last minute. After making Cisco the one who stays at STAR Labs in the bad Savitar future and showing again and again how important his friendships are to him... to have him treat his friends like that was kinda shitty, tbh. Hell, most people treat bosses and coworkers they dislike better by giving the optional two weeks notice.

Armageddon. I think I've complained about that enough that my reasons for hating it are well known by now.

26.) Most shippable character?

Oh this is so hard to pick. I'm a multi-shipper so all the characters are imminently shippable to me, whether it's romantic, a QPP, or close friendships.

But if I try to narrow it down, it's either Cisco, Barry, or Hartley. I've written the most for a search on Cisco Ramon/* of my works, but Barry's a close second when I do Barry Allen/* but I think Hartley's got the most crossover ships that I ship regardless of whether I've written for it or not, such as Tommy/Hartley, Rip/Hartley, Ray/Hartley, etc. (Mick started on the Flash but he's primarily a Legends character. Does he count as a crossover ship? Yes but also no. And no but yes.)

Though of the ladies, I think Iris is probably the most shippable to me though Caitlin is a close second despite my arospec headcanons for her. Iris has a lot of chemistry with a lot of characters and while the number of romantic ships I enjoy for Caitlin is narrower, I'm more likely to contemplate different types of ships for her such as QPPs.

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.”

[kelthegreatestballerever-143]

kel!! how are you recently? what have you been doing

"I've been pretty good!! Everyone's been slowly talking more after what happened at the hospital and I think even Aubrey cares about our friendship. It just makes me happy to see all that, heh.."

"As for what I've been doing, nothing much. Though, I've been babysitting my little sister more recently since my mamá thinks I'm mature enough now. Thank you for asking!!" :D

strawberry!

well, i wrote my first fanfic in a notebook when i was twelve, about me transmigrating into my fave book series at the time! but i mostly wrote original fiction for my teenage years, and then around 2018 or so i started writing a handful of fics after watching a few tv shows, but it didn’t really *stick* as a big hobby for me (separate from original fiction) until mdzs in 2022. and now here i am XD

[happy-emmdings]

omg hiii this is cptainjones. I would like to hear more about mama jones? 👀👀👀

Hiii<3 You just opened a flood gate<3

Basically since she was never even in the show, she’s free real estate so I made up a bunch of stuff about her that I sometimes forget isn’t canon😅

But! I have this headcanon that she was a selkie because 1. Brennan Jones is a piece of shit and absolutely the kind of man who would steal a selkie’s skin to force her to marry him, then slowly grow to resent her because she eventually sees through his charm and the spark fades and she’s left with a bad man and crushed dreams 2. Ocean themes. She is a creature from the sea, and the sea is in her blood. Her sons inherit that and they are always drawn to the sea and the ocean has a soft spot for them. 3. I love the idea of her being gentle but a little feral at the same time and just not quite human.

To me she’s like the raw, tragic version of the little mermaid (even though not a mermaid), the one where she abandons her home for a pair of legs that only cause her pain, the human doesn’t fall in love with her, he breaks her heart, and she turns into seafoam.

I’ve been toying with the idea that eventually she ends up drowning (if by accident is up to interpretation) which is just wrong on many levels because selkies can’t drown. But it’s like the equivalent of turning into seafoam, returning to the ocean.

So basically it’s all just tragic, but her (even if short) relationship with her sons is a highlight. She takes them on walks to the beach and sings songs to them and they are the only people she feels herself around because they are partly her. She gives Liam the lucky ring (which I believe is cursed because every time it gets passed on, the previous owner dies shortly after).

I foolishly believe that I will write this into a coherent story one day :)

Thank you for asking!<3
