2024 November 2nd
(You see a vision of the fuchsia.)
Context and some BlueBead Drawing Workflow Lore™: I convert a copy of my line art to pixel art by crunching it with levels and posterization so that I can quickly paint bucket in flat colors. However, when making the flats layer, I fill it in with a "missing texture" bright fuchsia first so I know if I missed any spots or if there's orphaned pixels.
While working on my last major drawing, Isabeau and Siffrin got to rock some fuchsia hair dye and Mirabelle got to enjoy a flashy shawl for a while because I thought they looked cool. And out of that trio, I deemed Isa most likely to inflict minor psychic damage on his friends for the bit. 😆
A close-up, the WIP Fuchsia Gang, and more rambling under the cut

Gosh I love drawing disgruntled / disgusted expressions so much, you can get so scrunchy with them. I think drawing stupid facial expressions is my favorite part of being an artist, genuinely. 😂

WIP of [this drawing] from October 15th! Siffrin with partial pink hair dye unironically slaps in my opinion.
Time taken on the comic was 20 hours and 31 minutes. Been trying to speed things up, but I was having too much fun playing with new line art brushes and special effects. I'm getting better at ignoring tiny inconsequential things I'd want to endlessly tweak though!
Will I ever draw in the same art style twice in a row? Who knows. :) I've been slowly trending towards the style I draw my OCs in, but it's not fully there yet, lol.
Is this post spoilers??? I feel like it's only spoilers if you know the right context for things, but heck it, it gets spoiler tagged.

I think you made a great point about Universes Beyond from a design standpoint and true in my experience playing the cards. I've played Hobbits vs Sauron regularly and had a blast. I have a Lara Croft Commander deck that is one of my favorites. Captain America looks both fun and flavorfully perfect. Throw and Catch is a perfect encapsulation of how he functions in comics.
But as a person satisfied by the design, I still can't help but feel uncomfortable. A lot of this is a premium product, limited in it's release and distributed in a way that makes players getting it difficult. Most people don't know Lara Croft exists and won't know the fun of bringing Legendary Artifacts and Lands back with her.
It also just feels like too many cards. A lot of people had already been complaining about too many set releases before Universes Beyond ramped up, and this is just adding to it. Too many sets and cards to keep up with. And it's expensive. Personally, if Magic went back down in set releases and had 1 universe beyond a year, it wouldn't feel like too much.
The design team is killing it with these cards. You have to read so much negativity that I do want to make clear I'm loving most of what is being designed. Even the cards in Universes not for me I can recognize cool mechanical and flavorful design. The parts that dissatisfy me are the parts you and the design team are not involved in. Too much and too expensive. Thank you for reading and keep up the good work.
One point that I think has been missed is that 2025 has less overall product releases than 2024. Here's what released in 2024:
Ravnica Remastered
Murders at Karlov Manor
Fallout
Outlaws of Thunder Junction
Modern Horizons III
Assassin's Creed
Bloomburrow
Duskmourn
Foundations
That's nine new product releases, eight with new card designs (Ravnica Remastered was all reprints), and eight that were booster releases (Fallout was just Commander decks).
Here's what we're releasing in 2025 (and this is it, we announced everything):
Innistrad Remastered
Aetherdrift
Tarkir Dragonstorm
Final Fantasy
Edge of Eternities
Spider-Man
Unannounced Universes Beyond product
Note: Foundations continues to be on sale, but with the same content it had in 2024
That's seven new product releases, six with new card designs (Innsitrad Remastered is all reprints), and seven that are booster releases.
That's two less new releases, two less new products with new content, and one less new booster release.

“What’s running through that pretty head of yours?”
It’s late; you lost track of time when the sky was still an azure ocean, the sun floating peerless in its splendor. An expensive—now empty—bottle of spiced rum lies at your feet, its warmth eddying through your veins, limbs steeped in honey. Swathed in night’s royal velvet, your hotel room is illuminated only by shivering candlelight and stray moonbeams. You left the balcony door ajar. Outside, the balmy breeze stirs palm leaves, and the sea’s siren song plays, ebbing and flowing with the tide.
For the first time in months, you’re on a real bed. Swapping your trusty hammock for a down-filled mattress feels like a luxury—one you refuse to take for granted. While your earlier beachside dinner left you satiated and wooed, your date led you to a nearby bar for drinks and dancing. Laughter rang in your ears as you draped your wrists over his broad shoulders, a thick arm anchored low across your hips, chin kissing the top of your head. The merriment concluded with what he insisted would be a “borrowed” bottle of rum.
(“Cap’s favorite,” he whispers conspiratorially against your temple, cradling the stolen cargo inside the billowing fabric of his cape.)
But as you lounge in bed together, your mind wanders. Shanks rests on his side, head propped up with his right arm. You’re curled against his bare chest, the vitality of his battle-worn flesh and the ardent beat of his heart setting your nerves alight. His hooked nose is buried in your hair, lips pressed to your crown.
“Nothing much,” you belatedly reply.
“Hmm…” He pulls back to study your expression, playful gaze narrowing, mapping the contours of your profile as though he’s navigating an uncharted island. After a few beats of silence, he finally announces: “I think you’re hiding something from me.”
“Oh, is that so?”
He hums. “You always have something to complain about.”
(That earns him a swift smack to the shoulder.)
“Ouch!” he gasps, face contorting in mock anguish. “My lady love wounds me.”
“If you must know,” you huff, ignoring his antics to instead twirl a delicate finger through his chest hair, “it’s my time of the month. So I’m not exactly feeling my best and brightest.”
“I see…Is that it?”
You indulge the petulant urge to roll your eyes. “If only I could ball up my pain and force it upon you, Mr. Can’t-Leave-His-Hammock-All-Day-When-He-Has-A-Mild-Cough.”
“No—you misunderstand me,” he sighs.
Slipping his arm beneath your waist, he shifts to hover above you, the ring hanging from the golden chain around his neck gleaming with reflected moonlight. His frame is almost comically large; almost. The way he so effortlessly maneuvers you, his body eclipsing yours, trapping you in place—forcing you to stare up at him: your captain, your lover, your husband—has heat blooming in your belly.
“What I mean is that there are ways to deal with this sort of pain.”
You prop yourself up on your elbows, craning your neck to brush your lips against the ring; his jaw flexes. “Enlighten me, then,” you challenge.
You’ve fallen right into his trap and you know it. His grin is devastatingly radiant. Vast and blinding as the horizon on a cloudless day, it holds a sly promise. He leans down, lips grazing yours, breath so sweet your teeth ache. “Yes ma’am.”
Shanks considers himself lucky that you’re mostly undressed: your frame drowns in one of his old, sun-bleached shirts, the excess fabric pooling at your thighs. Underneath it, a simple pair of cotton panties is all that separates him from what he desires most.
Sliding down the length of your form, his excitement is apparent as it strains against his breeches. He nudges the hem of your makeshift nightgown with his nose, teasing it upward, careful to scrape the stubble on his cheeks and chin across your tender flesh. Continuing until the garment reaches the apex of your thighs, he then bites down on the soft linen, dragging it up to your hips with his teeth.
When you raise an eyebrow—Leaving your work half-finished, Akagami? he can hear you goad—he rasps, “I quite enjoy this view. As long as my love doesn’t mind, that is.”
(If the quickening of your pulse is anything to go by, you don’t mind in the slightest.)
Sitting back on his heels, he skims his fingers along the sinuous outline of your leg, supple hip to the arch of your foot. He splays his palm across your ankle, rough thumb stroking the bone. Gingerly, he raises your foot to his mouth, blotting a kiss against the sole before lifting his lips to your toes, slick pink peeking out, messily dragging his tongue across each digit. His eyes never leave yours, stormy with lust—fresh ichor seeping onto the salt-damp deck of a pirate ship: sublime.
Even in the throes of worship, crimson strands marring his vision, he looks every bit the Emperor he is.
Soon, he works his way back between your legs, wasting little time as he shoves his face into the seam of your underwear, inhaling deeply with a groan. You want to harass him for acting like an ill-trained mutt, but the knowledge that he’s getting off on your scent—that after a day of exploring and sweating and bleeding he still yearns for you—makes your head fuzzy.
You clear your throat. “Shanks. You don’t have to…you know.”
He doesn’t move even a hair’s breadth, eyelids heavy, the low rumble of his voice resounding in your core as he drawls, “I’m a big boy; a bit of blood isn’t gonna hurt me.”
His hand creeps downward, slowly—purposefully—until it rests atop your final layer. His fore and middle fingers sneak past the waistband and tangle in your pubic hair. Meanwhile, he stretches his thumb out to stroke your aching clit, featherlight, still not touching you directly.
“Besides,” he adds, no mirth in his manner for the first time all evening, “it’s my duty to help my wife.”

My favorite part of the ice-cream comic is how DC!Ford is reaching out for Liam's bubble and Liam is brandishing a piece of food (a chip? a slice of banana?) to fight him off.
How many scritches and cuddles did Liam get back home that night?
oh no, he was holding onto his top hat like a security blanket
that night i think was the first time Ron willingly let Liam perch on his head while he reads, which became a routine after

He wonders what age he’s finally reached. The Time War used years as ammunition; at the Battle of Rodan’s Wedding alone, he’d aged to five million and then regressed to a mewling babe, merely from shrapnel. Now, the ache in his bones feels… one thousand years old? Well. Call it nine hundred. Sounds better.
In the same way RTD's 'Doctor Who and the Time War,' where the above quote is from, is a page from a novel that doesn't exist, this is a splash page from a comic that doesn't exist. Time War PTSD, much like the war itself, is multidimensional.
Now available as a print by popular demand!

Happy Valentines, Akira. Happy Valentines, Asshole.
If you can’t read what Akechi’s secondary inner-dialogue says cause I obscured it too much behind his regular dialogue, here’s a transcription in panel order: Hello, you fucking- Ah- Hello, Akira! Fuck off, why should I tell you- Just a soda- there’s a new flavor.
I don’t want your shitty gift. Oh- haha! You’re so sweet.
I hope I choke. They’re lovely, thank you.
Like hell. Likewise. There’s no way it’s just a coincidence. Still though, it’s a funny coincidence.
#p5#akeshu#akechi goro#kurusu akira#wow- me?? posting a valentines comic... actually on?? valentines????? wack. absolutely wack#it's a short one! I purposefully tried to keep it short. it was a challenge and it still ended up being 3 pages. but i blame my canvas size#also in case u can't see what akira is holding out to akechi: theyre chocolate covered strawberries on sticks!#i saw them irl and was like oh god i want those. i am going to project that feeling on my favorite characters so help me god#and now! here we are! but my shitty-ass coloring & line quality make it hard to discern them so. sorry about that lmaooooo#ANYWAY i don't do enough post-maruki stuff so. i made this one a little bittersweet. :)#why did i put akechi's scarf in a bow? honestly i dont know! i think i saw some art a while ago that did that too and i thought it was cute#well. plus i guess there's the symbolism of 'akechi being alive and reciprocating your feelings (however involuntarily) IS a gift' part#hence that hes wrapped up in a bow. like a present. :)#also god. the first panel is supposed to be akechi's reflection in a vending machine window. I could NOT get it to look right#so for reference!!! just so you guys understand!!!!!! thats what that panel is supposed to be!!! he is NOT in fact a ghost. (sigh)#hope you enjoyed and had a lovely valentines!! for my part i have eaten nothing but sweets today and hoo boy will that have been a mistake#ALSO in terms of the audience-participation comic...hopefully coming soon. if i can ever gain the will to draw it.#but at least tumblr has polls now so i can do the audience-choose-y bit without needing to use a separate website! so thats good i guess#anyway anyway anway thanks for listening to me ramble if you made it this far! have a lovely rest of your day and hopefully see u again soon

I love the tragedy of Harley Quinn: this character with her insatiable desire to love and be loved, always falling for people who can’t love her the same.

When I was like 8 I heard about the creation of the comic sans font, and it inspired me to make a font called "robot font" that looks almost exactly like Bill's handwriting in the BoB
This isn't important at all. I'm not claiming that I'm Bill or anything
I am, however, claiming that ALEX HIRSCH STOLE MY FONT. I WILL BE TAKING LEGAL ACTION.

Stranglethorn Vale Bonfire Bash 2024 Prompt 1: Hidden Treasure
Uh oh! Roan lost something on the beach… something kinda important. 😅 When I saw the first week prompt I knew I was going to draw the event that @roanathos-niluthiadand and I rp’d back at the 2022 Bash-- but, I knew the whole scene would be a bit much for one week. (And okay, I actually would’ve attempted it/more if I hadn’t been super busy!) I parsed down and changed our rp quite a bit, but stayed as true as I could to how it went down. I also tried to be as loose as possible… it still came out pretty refined, but I could have quibbled with it a lot more, so I’m proud of myself lol.
Thanks to @lateoctobermoon aka Shiro for being willing to be the finder of the ring, in the most unexpected place, and thanks of course to Roan for such wild, amazing, and fun rp over the years 😊 🥂
Also surprise cameos by our fearless leaders Obasi (Rage) and Poeful (Buttart) , my good friend @thebanaltongue , and Ashiyr (who’s the guy shrugging on page 2, sorry it wasn’t a bigger part!) for being cool with me grabbing their characters! All told this took about 15 hours (fast for me). I'll probably post how the rough sketches looked vs. the final product in another post 😆

is there a reason you decided to make Bloodclan good guys? really curious
Very few cats in Blood and Bone can be called good guys, and most of BloodClan aren't among them. Most of the cats we'll meet are not really good or bad. They merely have their own goals and will do what it takes to accomplish said goals. And nobody's goals really align, even amongst their own ranks.
It's more that I try to write it so each character has their good and bad, and it's really up to you to decide who is "right" or "wrong". Scorch is willing to slaughter in cold blood, but he's also clinging to what family he has. Brick is an absolute menace, but they would die for their friends in a heartbeat and has sacrificed much to provide for them. Silverstream would not flinch away from hurting and twisting others to get RiverClan safe and healthy again. Even Tigerstar is a racist tyrant, but genuinely seeks to take care of his family as long as they don't get in his way.
TLDR: I'm not really trying to write good guys or bad guys. Just a big collection of morally grey idiots all going in their own direction even if that direction still gets others hurt.
(Except Bone. Bone is a good guy. Bone deserves all the attention and treats and good comfy pillows. Bone will bring you a flower in place of a dead rat. Bone is capable of literally decapitating other cats if given reason, but that's not relevant. uwu)
