fmk: darcy, tilney, wentworth. gl

Oh, this is difficult.

As much as I'm on record as being weak in the knees for doomed (and not so doomed) mariners, I'm not sure I can handle Wentworth's sincerity. If someone sent me The Letter, I'd laugh nervously and scuttle for the exit. For an evening? Sure. My middle name's even Anne; I can be magnanimous about being called by the wrong name under the circumstances. Absolutely a fuck.

Marry Tilney: he understands muslin, he has dogs, he enjoys a good joke - I think he'd enjoy a good hike, and I'm sure I'll never be the most pious preacher's wife there ever was, I can do an excellent impression. Day to day life with him seems the most appealing, honestly?

I'm chiefly sorry to Georgiana for this but: I've got to kill Darcy.

Sleepover Asks!

Lilia either directly or anonymously getting you a vibrator or other toy and then, when you're not home, using his unique magic on it to see how you've been enjoying it 👀

CW: Smut/lemon/lime (or whatever citrus fruit people use nowadays lol)

Hello Anonie 💞🌺💚

You’re trying to kill me here Anonie 😂💞 in the good way of course.

Let’s say Lilia directly got us a vibrator/toy.

(Because let’s face it, if someone got me one and I didn’t know who it was? I would find that creepy. Unless it was hinted at that they would get me one lol)

I can see Lilia getting the toy and telling you to enjoy it. He can’t always be around to see to your needs no matter how much he wants to. So think of him when you use it.

And think of him you do. Whether it’s a vibrator or some other toy. You use it to please yourself. Moaning his name. Getting yourself ready until you release. Imagine edging yourself over and over.

It gives you pleasure, but it also gives him pleasure. It’s one of his favorite ways to have you beg for him.

You know his plan to use his UM, he’s thinks he’s being sneaky but you know him. So you make sure to make it that much harder for him later when he watches.

Why watch? When he can come to you instead? Why deny both of you that pleasure?

Now?? What if I say that your toy works both ways? Whatever you do to it, it does to him. He feels it.

Imagine it being in the warmth of your body as you bring it in and out. He feels that warmth. The heat as you repeatedly take it in and out. Feels it as you move the toy in a specific way.

He can feel the release building and then…you stop.

Oh. Oh he can’t have that.

You riled him up and now deny him release? Deny you both that release? He knows you are teasing him

I can see his eyes turn dark wine red, he’s going to have you on your knees begging for release after he’s done with you.

My friend I have followed you for a while and. No matter how far our tastes may drift from each other, for some reason every few months I look at your account and find that you have once again gotten into the very same fandom that I am currently obsessed with. Its uncanny. On a related note, that merthur fanart was very cute

I have that ability to know I think

[jojo-schmo]

I'm updating my personal ref sheets and it's really hitting me just how SMOL Kirby, Bandee, and Elfilis really are compared to the rest of the cast.

[northstarscowboyhat]

Cool down doodle from last night. I think the greatest tragedy with older!Clover is they probably grow to about 6'1. But because their family is mostly giant monsters, they assume they're short.

[erinwantstowrite]

unfortunately for peter he's sooner or later going to contract the batfamily curse without hope of recovery (being bisexual)

he has no idea what's coming for him 😔 he'll figure it out slowly and painfully for everyone involved

[alexandriaellisart]

I love your art style, how did you begin doing art?

thank you so much!!🥹 💖 just the usual boring answer; i always really liked to draw, and then as an early teen it sort of became my chosen thing/obsession that i did all the time!

[bearotonin-international]

This account is always able to brighten up my day, so thanks! <3

Do you have any pictures of big brown bears? They're always my favourite.

Will Pavle do?

[knowmypower]

i was wondering what it be like if Toad once hanged out with Meta Knight and Peach, supposedly imo Toad could learn and be a bit like a warrior himself to protect the mushroom Kingdom from the bad guys but what are your thoughts on that? even thought toad isn't a character in smash he is used as defense for Peach so it can fit. anyways I wanted to say as well I love all of your blog drawings and artistic style, it's always able to smile my day up a bit more and incase of a bad day completely forgot the problem and focus on all of these drawings :) keep it going and never give up on making people happy. (+ can you draw the 3 hanging out somewhere? not forcing ofc cause its your blog and I'm happy enough you just responding back to me) tumblr users like you are the reason I'm so back into Mario and Kirby games again with all the art and amazing distinct wholesome style :D alright that's all I got to say but know I'll always try my best to see your drawings and posts :3 peace out... at least for now ^^

i love that idea!! i think meta knight would really respect toad for always being at peach's defense in battle, and certainly wouldn't object to training with him if he wanted to hone his skills and do even more for peach and her kingdom! plus if you consider that toad to be captain toad, they could go on expeditions together lol. who knows, meta knight might even learn something from toad…especially in the campfire cooking department 😆 it'd be a really wholesome friendship.

and thank you so much for all your incredibly kind words!! i never really thought my smashverse/crossover stuff would be of particular interest to anyone outside of my own little corner, so i'm really happy to hear it's been making YOU happy! 😭🙏 here's a lil doodle for your time <3

[somegrumpynerd]

This little interaction made me so happy! Killer really fought through Dream to give Cross his necklace back

Asjlkhdkgkd I'm so glad you liked it!! I had fun putting a little story into that one ^^

And, because I am normal and don't think about these guys for hours every day, here's some backstory:

When Cross first joined, Killer actually took to him pretty quickly (Dust and Horror did not get warm welcomes). Which is to say he immediately started flocking to Cross to annoy him and compete with him on missions. Cross didn't have the benefit of knowing Killer already to see these were affectionate annoyances, so to him Killer was just some guy who had a problem and wouldn't leave him alone.

During that mission, Nightmare was calling a retreat when he put a hand to his chest and realised the heart locket was gone. Killer saw him looking all around frantically and had a good idea what was lost, since it was the one thing Cross would absolutely not part with since he joined. So, Killer ran back out towards the stars to look for it, because why learn self preservation now. It was the first thing to convince Cross that Killer actually was being (relatively) friendly, despite all the annoyances.

And also, a doodle of the afterwards of that picture

because it's probably the only time he's managed to get Killer to shut up lol

for the oc asks: 8, 23, 28, 30? Show Me Her.

8. do they have a nickname? who gave it to them? if it's not derived from their real name, what's the story behind it?

Two! Her given name is Elinor, and she refers to herself as Nellie - derived from her name, obviously, and what her late husband called her. Growing up, her older brother called her Nora (after hearing their late mother call her that) but, given that her brother lives half a world away in Nassau, she rarely ever hears it, and generally has mixed feelings about it. Nellie's pretty ferociously compartmentalized, and choosing nicknames is part of that mental effort: her life in Boston as a well-to-do merchant captain's wife and now widow is Nellie Treat's life; the hardscrabble life she had before she married up was Nora Coggeshall's life, and never the twain shall meet. Except for the parts where they emphatically do, which is always awkward and laden with moral crisis.

23. how would you describe their voice? can they sing?

d'you know, in the years I've had Nellie, I've never really ever thought of what her voice sounds like? I think she has a very measured, soft way of talking, and she's taken great pains to fit into life in Boston. She can probably sing a little, as long as there's not too high or low of a note!

28. how do they show that they care about someone? how do they express that they don't like someone?

Looking after their material well-being: have they been fed? do they need tea or coffee or switchel? has someone checked their school lessons - she'll teach herself latin so she can correct grammar. are their clothes clean and in good repair? has someone checked the numbers in their account books recently? do they need someone to lie to the authorities for them? save them from drowning in Boston Harbor? do they have something to read? Don't rely on her for any kind of emotional support beyond her presence, though. Nellie tends not to express dislike, because she's very aware of how precarious her position is and she's desperate, not stupid. The best she'll usually do is avoid the hell out of someone she's unable to play nice with, but she did push that guy overboard once. So the gamut is "cutting but oblique remarks to a safe third party" to "manslaughter".

30. do they smell like anything notable?

Lavender! The headaches persist, but so does she.

OC Ask Game!

[drenched-in-sunlight]

Do you ship Godwyn and Fortissax? (p.s I LOVE your art! It's amazing!)

i mean if it were the pre-DLC version where i drew him purely on vibe going with whatever was popular in the fandom at the time (cuz i didn't have an actual take on him yet)... yeah maybe?

but the current version im drawing with bracelets and different hairstyle, no, i don't.... because i have a specific interpretation of his relationship with Fortissax, they are at most just close friends to me (actually i don't even believe that because the DLC dragon quest really got me looking sideway at any human that got love from dragons...like why all of them require the dragons to sacrifice so much for some random person that gave them nothing in return leave those creatures alone holy shit at least Nameless King forsake everything to stand by the dragons' side)

Hey/

Did you see 6 skeletons 1 maid updated?

Thoughts?

I was saving this ask to make a little comic of how that last chapter felt but- lets say it didn't turn out how i wanted. Instead, i just dug out some of my old Maid-chan drawings and stared at them blankly for the next days.

I'm still particularly fixed on this one little page:

Mister Green was my absolute favorite and the only light i saw at the end of her tunnel. He was so kind and sweet, and pretty much the only one that treated her like a person (besides Yellow of course). When i first read this fic so many years ago i didn't trully realized the dark tone of this story but i still chose the only "healthy" option. I wanted MC to be happy and free, and oh how i wanted him to give her that. I held those drawings of him for years imagining a chapter where they would encounter again and that would drive her to a better ending (either skeletons overcoming their issues and treating her with respect or him taking her away).

But then this final chapter appeared and it was... a thing.

(Kinda spoilers for the babes that haven't read it)

First of all, I FINALLY GOT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED AFTER BEACH CHAPTERS OMG I NEEDED THAT

Second of all, it didn't look good at all and it was getting worse as I read. But then good because it was a week alone for her to rest and Sans was eating with her?? But also that whole scene reminded me how bad her situation really was so it actually wasn't good at all.

And then the scene that broke me.

I was aware that I wanted her to flee before, but I never thought she could.

It was oddly satisfying, if not a bit anxiety inducing because of the thought that they would caught her eventually. As always.

But then Asgore, and Orange. And nothing...

I got mad that he found her. Which was a weird feeling since I remember liking him a lot. It felt to me like he ruined her good enough ending. But despite that, it makes sense it was him so I don't complain.

What crushed me though, wasn't that she couldn't say goodbye or that Sans got tired of trying to get her back. It was the fact the Gs didn't even try looking for her. They didn't even got mentioned. What happened there, I wonder. Didn't they like her? Care for her? Mister Green wrote her letters, of course he liked her. But then why...?

Suddenly he looked like a fairytale.

The ending was great, finally lending her the ability to choose. It made absolutely everything worth it and the way it was written made me feel like I do have a say in the matter. And for the first time, i didn't choose the skeletons.

I realized she could find her happy ending alone.

(My live reaction)

[surreal-duck]

midoyuzu is canon to me because of you

thank you anon..... im doing my part.... still havent recovered from the dream live interaction they had so heres doodles from last year of that. i cant believe they did that

on a separate note ive been kinda having mixed feelings regarding enst as a whole and while i dont think ill stop like. making/interacting w fanwork and such ill most likely step back a bit as well. even if it isnt new the racist shit that happyele's pulling really does suck ass, the fact im also really fond of akatsuki myself aside im sure its doubly worse for lots of other fans

[auguryofjellyfish]

This is the main blog of @misha-v and I just wanted to say that I really love the long commentary tags you leave on art reblogs complimenting all the little details, it means so much to me when ppl notice and appreciate those and take the time to point those out and explain why they like them, you especially. It makes me feel rlly good inside and it kind of keeps me going because I know for a fact that you love it to the point where you're willing to dedicate your time to leaving those long tags ^^

So thank you, thank you so much ^-^

hi!! thank you for taking the time to write such a long and kind message! i'm always blown away when people tell me they appreciate my tags, like fr, wow?? i'm so so happy to hear how they make you feel <3 the tetro community artists create a lot of things that i find pleasant, thought-provoking, impactful, or things that evoke feelings in general, which makes the words come to me more easily. i always like it when i find i have a lot of things to say about a piece of art! i'm glad that my words can brighten people's day too.

speaking of yapping, i hope you don't mind cuz i wanna do that right now :3c I LOVE YOUR ART!!! you have mastery over using shapes, the general "blockiness" of your style reminds me of those early 2000s cartoon network shows, which is nice to see because these artstyles aren't that popular nowadays. so that, + the smoothness and thickness of your line art makes your character artwork look really defined and sharp.

and your colour choices... i have no idea how you do it, but they're just sublime. like in your DRDT designs, for example, the cream + gentle red of okazaki's suit, the greenish black of hiroaki's, the vibrant orange of isono's hair contrasted with the bluish green, the beautiful purples, pink and white of tamba's outfit... bruh. this stuff almost brings me to tears. it's breathtaking how beautiful these colours are, and how well they go with each other. they make my brain go brrrr.... not to mention the designs themselves are fire too RAAHHH!!! lies down... i just think it's neat.

also i need, neeed to talk about your chap 3 au. it's so meaningful to me. i've seen people kill off wada as a victim in their AUs A LOT, it's like a staple at this point. usually, it's him taking someone else's place or just to have him die in general ig, and i don't find that very compelling. like, oh wow, victim wada?? definitely haven't seen that before lol. but in your au, he dies, but it was because he decided to strike back against his abuser, and i find that so beautiful.

disclaimer, ik okazaki is also a teenager and i'm not celebrating her death etc. but the fact still stands that wada is a victim, hers and in general, and you had him take back some of his power for the first time in his life. not only that, he also inadvertently saved a person he loved from being executed (whether it was a good thing for her is another matter). the killing game itself makes the participants inherently powerless, but he acted with as much agency as you can while being inside it.

i LOVE this wada. this is such a wonderful take on his character, a version of him that's a bit to the left, that values himself and his own dignity a bit more than in canon. and maybe one that holds onto bitterness/anger more, as well. but it STILL MAKES SENSE!! it doesn't feel OOC! this au just took the him that stabbed okazaki as self defense and turned that into more active and retaliatory force.

also, strangling a mf to death with HDMI cables is just iconic. pure king shit. anyway... i'm very glad that canon wada's survived this long, and i love him for who he is, but if he had to die, it wouldn't be so bad if it had gone something like this. thank you for creating such an awesome AU.

[hurlumerlu]

Hello, hope it's okay to ask - regarding your Sand post, was the thing you were referring to the fact that he passed along the BostonTop (at that point) revenge porn after stealing it from Nick?

Also could you tell me - and this is a genuine question - what you are referring to regarding him being a raging bitch? I am sorry that i have to even ask. I very much remember that after initially watching the show up to ep3 I considered everyone without exception in the show to be a rather awful person. But I have since fallen so massively in love with Sand that I am apparently 100% supporting all his gay rights and gay wrongs to the point that I will not even remember him ever having done anything wrong ever in his life besides the revenge porn shit. (That being said I also am of the opinion that some of the behaviour of people in OF can be judged differently when seen in their direct context and overall see it as a show about deeply flawed people. But honestly at this point I will straight up believe that I have become a Sand apologist to the point that i might be blind to other shit he pulled.)

Hey! Entirely okay to ask, and you have nothing to be sorry for X) On the contrary, I love getting asks and excuses to talk about my little shows. Full disclosure, I am absolutely not the best person to go to for a list of Sand's wrongs. In some aspects - not the raging bitch part, to be clear - he reminds me of my wife when I met her, and that will give any character a serious number of get out of jail free cards. When I call him a raging bitch it is 1. because both Top and Boston have good reasons to think of him that way 2. with deep love and affection and 3. because I need the reminder, sometimes. I would also argue, without a hint of sarcasm, that Ray is the least red flag of the main 6, so like. always always take my assessment of fictional characters with a grain of salt.

It does feel a little weird to double down on my use of the word "bitch", because I do not like it and almost never use it, but I think the connotations it carries are appropriate in the context of Sand's flaws (or some of them). I was mostly referring to the stealing and passing along of the sextape, yeah! To me it is the most cruel act committed by a member of the core cast (so not counting, say, Atom or Gap), especially since it was fully premeditated (unlike Nick who premeditated the awful invasion of privacy but didn't expect to get his hands on a full-on sextape) and since it is mainly Sand's fault that the sextape got out at all (Nick shared it with him but showed no sign of wanting anyone to get their hands on it). And while Mew threatened to share another sextape in an insane self-righteous vengeful power trip... Sand is the one who, you know. Actually did that.

Then there's the fact that he used Ray to do so. His motivations for that choice aren't spelled out to us, and I personally don't think he was trying to hurt Ray, exactly. I think he was trying to prove that he wasn't desperately in love with him at this point - a sort of "I don't love you, see: I can use you." I don't think he expected Ray to care that deeply and be so morally conflicted, but even that tells us that he wasn't being fair in his assessment of Ray's character at all. As a slight aside, even though he couldn't have predicted Ray's self destructive spiral - and Ray doesn't necessarily need anyone's help to start one - he still pushed him into it... which is why I was so fucking taken aback when I checked the ofts tag and saw so many people saying stuff like "wow, Ray calls you a whore and you still play nurse for him after his accident? get up man" because like yeah, Sand has no spine when it comes to Ray, but also he feels responsible? He thinks he's partially at fault and he's honestly not wrong? Why are we acting like Ray flew off the handle for no reason? Did the scene where Sand sees the seat belt bruise and falters, and Ray is actually the one subtly checking on him, kick only me in the face? alright then.

And the kicker is that I personally don't think Sand ever feels bad for leaking the recording. Don't get me wrong, he feels bad for hurting Ray, and for hurting Nick, but we never ever see him reflect on the hurt he caused Boston or Top (he does tell Nick he's sorry, but immediately follows it with "Boston is an asshole anyway, why do you care", which does not read as willingness to examine his actions, to me). In his mind, they're the dicks, even at the end. And I love that! I love how self-righteous the little fucker is. He was hurt and he retaliated, like they pretty much all (Nick, Boston, Ray, Mew, Atom, Chueam...) do at some point. That's the story. They hurt each other and they learn from some of their mistakes and in my opinion the show do not judge them for making those, and leave them space to grow. Like you said here in the notes, ofts is about a bunch of flawed people! It would be boring if it was just "all those messy people and Sand, the reasonable one" (though Sand would love to learn that some see it that way, and would agree).

So yeah, the moment where he looks at his phone, drops it on the ground with a sigh and fucking stomps on it is enough for me to bestow the title of raging bitch upon him. Insane choice in and out of universe. But! since my role today is apparently to get Sand condemned by the jury, let me list some of his worst qualities:

as mentioned, he's self-righteous and judgemental. It's easy to forget, because he can also be very forgiving at times, especially with Ray, but calling the drunk in the men's bathroom "people's burden", out loud, just because the guy didn't react gratefully to your concern, is just so demeaning and rude? Ray is so incredibly obnoxious later at Sand's appartment that's is easy to think he had it coming, but Sand is the one who went from zero to sixty at the drop of a hat. (he also tells Mew that Ray was the one starting this fight, and like... I beg to differ). And it's not like that's the only disparaging comment he makes about Ray. Some of it is meant to tease, some of it... isn't, but I think what matters most is how it lands, and they don't all land well. A sentiment I've seen a lot in the fandom is that Mew's scolding is the bad type while Sand's scolding is the good type, but I don't agree. I think they often say the same stuff, or stuff that could have the same impact, and that Ray partially craves (proof they care) and is hurt by it in both cases. I also think it's somewhat unfair to Mew, but this is a post about Sand.

this is deeply intertwined with point 1, but boy does he have a temper. Early show Sand will see a situation, asks "anyone wants to escalate that?" and not wait for an answer. To be entirely fair this changes very fast after he develops feelings for Ray, at which point if Ray is involved in the situation Sand does attempt to desescalate and/or just leave the scene (with Ray if he's not the one fighting with, without him if he is) but if Ray's not present? You're shit out of luck. Baseball bat Sand may have only lived in the pilot trailer, but he was perched on actual Sand's shoulder for a good half of the story.

also linked to point 1: his hypocrisy. He made such a big deal of Top "stealing his boyfriend", even though we don't even know if Boeing cheated on him with Top or simply broke up with him for Top (which like, sucks and will break your heart, but also people do fall out of love and there isn't necessarily a guilty party) only to make out with Ray behind Mew's back and later confess his willingness to be Ray's "secret lover" unless he finds someone better (he says he feels bad for Mew. he says "we should stop". but does he? do they?). And I want to give credit where credit is due, Sand did try to leave the first situation, but it wasn't so much out of consideration for Mew or some nebulous idea of doing the right thing than it was about his own self-image and hurt pride at being second choice. And he got even over that, in the river scene, as long as he could save face by pretending he wouldn't wait for Ray if a better opportunity came along. The fact that these two's beautiful, incredibly tender lovemaking scene happens before Ray breaks up with Mew isn't a innocent choice! Sand has a pretty strict idea of what a good person is, and he wants to be one, mostly thinks he is one ("do you think I'm a man with no dignity") but he is as failible and driven by his wants as the others, especially when it comes to love.

as a result of the first three points, his capacity for holding himself accountable and offering proper apologies vary greatly. Ray is actually a hundred times better at it than Sand, I will die on this hill, but this post isn't about Ray either. I don't remember him vocally apologizing for putting Ray in an awfull position by giving him the tape (which would require admitting either that he knew it would hurt Ray and did it on purpose or that he didn't take Ray's feelings into account at all) and while he does apologize to Nick it is, I've already argued, quite half-baked. I don't think he aplogize to anyone else for that? And like, I know he can do it. His apology for making Ray feel insecure about Boeing is very sweet and mature even though he did nothing wrong, so I interpret it as him often chosing not to apologize, either because of his aforementioned self-righteousness or because that would require him eating some crow and he doesn't like that.

he's just kind of bitchy sometimes! He's sarcastic, he's a nag and he loves to complain, and have we forgotten "Someone who was exactly my type dumped me for someone else"? I'm not saying Boeing didn't deserve that, I'm saying it's a bitchy retort. I just know one of the reason these two got along was because they judged people together a lot. I just know it. It goes hand in hand with his reluctance to be vulnerable and honest about his feelings: while this particular character flaw does not one a raging bitch make, Sand tends to deflect with offhandedly disparaging comments or an insistance that he doesn't care, and while it's not purposefully hurtful, it can be quite thoughtless, and does him more harm than good in the long run.

So yeah, here's my list of Sand's most bitchy characters flaws. I find them really endearing, tbqh. Some of them ensure that Sand belongs in the story and with the others characters, others serve to make his relationship with Ray even more touching to me. His devotion would be one thing if he was this angel of forgiveness and patience the fandom often paints him as, but he's a quick-tempered judgemental ass, and he still loves Ray (a guy who doesn't see himself as truly lovable, considered a handful by everyone around him) with breathtaking ease and steadfastness, no effort required (he in fact put some considerable efforts into not loving him, to no avail). Sand doesn't love Ray in spite of, he doesn't love Ray as some sort of cosmic trial to reach sainthood, he simply loves Ray, period. And idk, that means a lot to me. This show, weirdly, means a lot to me.
