#these are some of my fav designs for their fusions

[sapphicseasapphire]

I apologize in advance but I'm going to ramble incoherently for way too long in this ask.

I just got caught up on a lot of cryptid AU stuff and Sky and Groose's relationship is very interesting to me. At first I was like, "????" but then you explained in the post and now it makes sooo much sense and I actually really really like it. I have DID and his whole situation with two halves of a whole becoming one is so fascinating. (I went through something similar so I'm very interested in this kind of stuff.) I love the birb boi very much and I'm happy he's your fav 'cause he's mine too. :3

(The alt who went through, essentially the same thing as Sky, may or may not let me write fanfic of the two meeting & him helping Sky adjust, would that be okay?) Wild. Can I talk about Wild? I've been dying to talk about Wild. Cryptid Wild touches something in my soul. Just. The silence. The curiosity. The innocence. The tragedy. The wanderer. The watching from afar. The Lost Boy. I just. Ajkhshtrsj. He makes me feel deep and profound things and I adore him for that.

I want to give him a giant hug and just hold him for a while and tell him he's not alone and that it'll be okay but I get the sense that he would NOT vibe with hugs or contact out of the blue. (You can't stop me from hugging Sky though, birb boy's getting tackled off a cliff. HE HAS WINGS IT'S FINE. :D)

... Has Sun ever ridden on Sky's back before? How would Sky feel about that?

I want my favs (Sky & Wild) to interact but idk how close you plan on them being or how much interaction you plan on having between the two of them. I don't even know what kind of dynamic they'd have in your AU if any, they both seem kinda lost in their own heads/situations.

They're kind-of inverses of each other, now that I think about it: Wild's trying to grapple with being someone he can't remember, and Sky's trying to grapple with being TWO "people" he CAN remember! A memory vacuum and memory overload... man now I want to see them talk about that.

How much does Wild think about who he was before? Sky's kinda smacked in the face with it, but Wild seems (fittingly) very distracted by the moment. But is it distraction, avoidance, or both? He still has the soul of Link (... right?), but he no longer remembers what that means. Does he want to? Does he feel overwhelmed even thinking about trying? adkutfkuvluyvlig. Too many Wild thoughts. ♥

Also why doesn't Legend like Wind turning into his water form (I forget what it's called)? He looked freaked out by it and asked him to not do that; why? Did I miss something? /gen, I don't think I've caught up on everything yet.

Anyway thanks for this AU sorry for the novel-length ask I just had a Lot of Thoughts. :)

Bro all I ever do is ramble too long, don’t even worry about it. I love getting asks like this.

LONG ONE, under the cut!

Okay I’ll try to break this up to answer all of your questions and ramble a bit haha!

SKY AND GROOSE! Yeah, there’s a lot of tension there. Sky is… an entirely new person. He has the memories of both Link and Aepon, but he interprets those experiences differently than either of them would. Link and Aepon both had entirely different mindsets, so of course the result of their fusion would be left to interpret things on his own.

Link never cared enough about himself to care about what Groose said to him/did to him. Self sacrificing to a fault and very forgiving. (Kind of by design, too. Hylia needed her Hero to be willing to risk his life for the good of others). Aepon was Link’s other half, his Goddess given protector, and thus he had the traits that Link lacked. He was a strong, proud bird. He cared enough about Link to care what Groose had to say about him. And then he was kidnapped! And Groose just kept hurting Link! And Aepon’s!!! Not!!! Having!!! That!!!

And so Sky was very conflicted about Groose. His Link half wanted to be friends! His Aepon half wanted nothing to do with him! And then Groose… said some very unkind things. I think that Groose is a very defensive person. When he feels hurts or threatened in any way, he lashes out. He had been at a point with Link where they were close! They were friends! They faced the end of the world together! And then suddenly all of that changed and Groose doesn’t understand why. Just. Suddenly Sky started giving him the cold shoulder. And that… hurt. And when Groose is hurt? His first instinct is to punch back.

So Sky was on the fence and Groose started falling back into old habits, just being so so rude. He called Sky a monster, treated him like he was just some thing that had stolen his friend away from him. And if Sky was undecided before, that pushed him right over the edge. Sky is not fond of Groose.

And you’re more than welcome to make any kind of fanart or fanfics! Just so long as you tag me so that I can see them!!

(Sun has not ridden on Sky’s back, but he wouldn’t be opposed! He loves taking people on flights! It’s just that he was only home for three days after Demise and he hasn’t been to his era in so long. Kind of tragic that Sky’s spent more of his existence away from home than he has actually on Skyloft or even in his own era. But in the future! After the Cryptid Adventure is done! Sky will fly with Sun! Now, Sun does still have Aria, but they’ll take turns haha!)

WILD!!! He does not vibe with hugs. Pretty much ever. Anyone who grabs him, he will immediately take that as being restrained and he will run away. He is a FREE SPIRIT!!! He’d like to keep it that way.

Sky and Wild do interact! Like, a lot! I think there’s this misconception going around that the Cryptids don’t like Wild? Particularly I’ve seen it with Legend haha! But no!! Wild is so loved! The others are annoyed by his constant thievery but to be honest, it’s kind of endearing! When Wild is focused on one of the members of my Chain, he’s SO focused on them. He’s caring, he’s genuinely very sweet. AND he can be bribed with cool rocks and colorful leaves so. Winning.

Sky and Wild have this whole arc surrounding the Master Sword. Sky’s inseparable from the blade but Wild… he knows something’s not right. He wants to see what will happen if he takes it away. (Sky will not let him steal it).

And… okay. So. Wild struggles so much with the whole being Link thing. He is definitely 100% avoiding it. He spends all of his time running away from Flora, but he’s really running away from who he used to be. He has no memory of ever being mortal- his life is completely irrelevant. Link and the Child of the Mountains are separate. WILD WOULD LIKE TO KEEP IT THAT WAY. He does not want to remember. He does feel overwhelmed.

Still… there are certain things that he cannot run from. And that bothers him SO MUCH.

LEGEND AND WIND!!! What’s Legend’s issue with Wind’s natural form? Please don’t hate me, but Legend is being racist. I have a lot of lore written out about their dynamic and the circumstances that led them to this point. Here’s a post about the War! And here’s a post more specifically about Wind!

But basically, to sum it up. There’s this big war that spans across the timelines between the Mer and Aquili. In Legend’s timeline, the Mer won and he was taught to hate “Sea Monsters.” He was chased from his home by an Aquili scavenger and was never allowed to return, and so he had a very deeply seated hatred AND FEAR of Aquili. In Wind’s timeline, the conflict is still ongoing but it’s not as extreme since Hyrule flooded. He lives on an island of refugees- Mer and Aquili who fled the ocean to find peace. Because of this, the war is distant to him. Something that he’s not connected to. Although… in loosing ties with his people, he’s lost ties with his culture.

I actually have so much more to say about Outset Island in my au! I’m planning on making another big lore post soon where I can go in detail about it!

And I promise that Legend will come to his senses! Soon!

Thanks for sending in this ask! I love rambling about my guys! I hope this helps?

[redisloser]

Sooooo I bought two Transformers figures for the first time in, like, 15 years because I thought they looked cool and this post is brought to you by the child-like wonder of “wow! Cool robot!”

I pre-ordered the Concept Art Megatron a few months back because the Bumblebee designs are peak and Megatron is always a cool design. Yesterday I stumbled upon a Shockwave in the wild and grabbed it on impulse, only to be pleasantly greeted by a package at my door.

Needless to say I think these robots do be cool.

I fiddled around with some of my old Transformers when I moved earlier this year and I’m still impressed at the way these toys function. Having some recent experience with Gundam model kits with pretty okay transformation gimmicks, having a toy DESIGNED to transform lets you marvel at how they had to engineer and manufacture the damn thing.

(Special cameo from my cat!) Shockwave was pretty similar to his Animated toy, which was one of my favs as a kid, so that was nice to see. Megatron was a bit fiddly at first, but I really dig the tank mode. I’m one of those weirdos who doesn’t have a problem with Cybertronian modes not looking like Earth vehicles, and it kind of reminds me of Metal Slug?? Cool stuff. What’s not so cool is the jet mode, which bummed me out.

If you look at it directly from the top the shaping is fine, but the way the mass is dispersed just looks too much like a flying crab-thing. Thankfully, transforming Gundam designs have conditioned me to think of ways to flex things from wacky shapes into slightly less wacky shapes, so I took advantage of the figure’s waist swivel that no alt mode used. Not to toot my own horn, but…

That along with locking the arms with the fusion cannon instead of the finicky tabs makes this look so much better. Almost looks like a bird of prey now, which is pretty fitting. I’m no scientist, but this jet mode is now 90% more swooshable than before.

I bought these two goobers on a whim because they look cool, I’m not interested in getting back into the figure side of Transformers anytime soon (Gunpla rules my shelves now).

But yeah, Transformers are neat :)

Hey all! I wanted to draw full refs of my pony ocs because for some reason I haven’t already. This is my ponysona’s family (I didn’t draw her on this sheet see my last post), I wanted to develop her story in my fim au so I designed these guys awhile back. They’re a music family! All of their designs, names, etc. are based off some of my fav alternative music styles and their correlating subcultures. I love em!!! XD ⋆⭒˚｡⋆

- Skulljam (heavy metal and all other alternative metal genres)

- Rave Blast (rave, techno, electro, EDM, etc.)

- Grind Beats (grindcore - fusion of heavy metal + hardcore punk, industrial)

- Starflesh[sona] (digital hardcore - fusion of hardcore punk + EDM, heavy metal, noise music)

[goatpaste]

If one part of Li's species combo (shinx's or lickilicky's line) didn't exist, but you still wanted to make either a shinx or a lickilicky fusion fella using some other mon(s), what would Li be?

hmm! probably would keep the Lickilicky! because Li was crafted as one of my fav pokemon (shinx) mixed with one of my fav design pokemon (LickiLicky) so simply switching out Shinx with my top top fav pokemon, Scraggy!

love this thing

[cyberdragoninfinity]

Could I mayhaps ask for your thoughts on each of the Box Legendary Pokemon?

*cracks knuckles* SURE! let's do this

Gold and Silver: I actually don't feel suuuuper too strongly about Ho-oh and Lugia, tbh--though i will say they both have more solid designs than. A Lot of other johto Pokemon imo LMAO. I liked Lugia a lot when I was a kid and that affection has waned a bit as I got older but I do still think it's cool. They both have pretty solid lore as far as Legendaries go, I'm just not particularly attached to 'em...something like a Legends Johto game really has the potential to do something cool with 'em (I feel like with Ho-oh especially) and I do kinda hope we eventually get to see that.

Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald: MY HOMEEEEE Hoenn box Legendary trio sooo near and dear to me...Ruby was my first game Groudon was my first Legendary but I think he's kind of just ok. I like Kyogre a lot more and I Love Rayquaza, definitely a long time favorite Legendary...they're really just a solid trio of Pokemon with some really cool designs and concepts at play, and I like the new lore and forms ORAS gave 'em. Kyogre's Pokemon Pinball boss fight kicks ass to this day and im not kidding.

Diamond, Pearl, Platinum: MY DEAR LATE MIDDLE SCHOOL/EARLY HIGH SCHOOL FRIENDS I thinkkkk as a trio I think I might like Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina the best...Legendaries I never tire of seeing. Palkia is one of my all time favs, gazing so lovingly at my giant Palkia plush ive had for some 15 odd years...Giratina is too, honestly, Giratina fucking Rules (though I actually don't like its Origin form very much and never had...I'm an Altered Form Giratina girlie.) They're just all super solid designs and for Dialga and Palkia especially they really feel like perfect embodiments of The Game Theyre the Cover Of. Also I love Origin Form Dialga and Palkia sorry. Theyre my precious ugly as fuck horses.

Black, White, BW2: WELL. THESE MIGHT TRULY BE THE BEST ONES. Zekrom/Reshiram/Kyurem are not my favorite Trio, but together just everything they represent is so cool. One day we WILL see that Original Dragon so HELP ME GOD. I'm more impartial to Zekrom (i played Black and White 2) but it still has such a striking design, I have to say. Reshiram is an especially beautiful Pokemon and definitely one of my favorites. I have. So Many Reshiram cards and plushes HJFDJGDF And well some people don't like Black and White Kyurem for whatever reason, but well i simply have to say they have been making me crazy since high school and the concept of Pokemon Fusion Really in The Game will never not be fucking bonkers slash POS. i LOVE White Kyurem (go figure.) THATS MY FUCKIN FREEEAK

X & Y: i don't. like X & Y very much 🥴 I wish I liked Xerneas more but something about its design is just kind of lacking some 'oomph' ro me. It doesn't feel like a strong poster child for the Fairy type's debut. Despite everything Yveltal does go hard as fucking hell though I still like it a lot. I named the one I caught in Y HELLRAISER back in college and I was shocked they let me name it that.

Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun/Moon: ok nevermind scratch what I said about DPP Sun and Moon have my favorite Legendary Trio for absolute certain. GOD I WISH SUMO/USUM WERE BETTER GAMES!!!!! SOLGALEO LUNALA AND NECROZMA ARE ALL SO FUCKING COOOOL!!!!! DUSK MANE NECROZMA AND DAWN WINGS NECROZMA ARE SO FUCKING COOOL!!!!!!!!! NECROZMA FUCKING EATS THEM FOR POWER. Just in general fantastic designs all around, and it's so cool that Solgaleo and Lunala are Legendaries That Evolve.also i played Moon/UM but I have grown deeply fond of Solgaleo over the last year or so. As if it's my fault he looks like...no, I shant say.

Sword and Shield: I don't like SWSH very much either 🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴which is a shame because Zacien and Zamazenta have really cool concepts and designs!! I love their old tattered beat up forms, I love that theyre siblings 🥺I love that the one that isnt Your box legendary goes with Hop, that's so so sweet and so so cool. I just wish SWSH had more of a..........yknow. story. to do anything else of any substance with them. Cool Legendaries in bad games...sad!

Scarlet and Violet: WELL. THESE MAY ALSO BE THE BEST ONES AND I'LL SAY IT WITH MY WHOLE CHEST. god, just. WOW. I like them both a lot but I'm especially fond of Miraidon, to absolute bits. This really feels like the most realized version of a box art Legendary that really truly is a Character in its own right, you get to spend that whole game with your dragon, it well and truly Is Your Friend and it's just fantastic. Theyre endlessly charming and silly and conceptually just so fucking cool. They killed someone. My motorcycle that eats sandwiches. My BUDDY!!! I named my Miraidon Delta Accel :^)

[andro-dino]

for the ask game,

23.Has your favourite character/ship changed over time?

7.Is there a piece of clothing you think Sakyo is particularly fond of/that you imagine them wearing a lot or like to draw them in? (also maybe same question with hyoma or any of your faves really, go wild)

23. Has your favourite character/ship changed over time?

This is really funny bc yes to both and literally in the same order 😭 Kyoya was my favorite when I had only watched fusion and that didn’t change getting back into mfb, but his character regression across the rest of the series definitely made him drop in my ranks a bit. When I was masters-ing really hard, I was going insane about Zeo and I was The Zeo Abyss Guy for a while, and I thought that’s how that’d stay. The first shogun steel watch through or two didn’t change my ranks (and actually Shinobu was originally my shogun steel fav), but then, at some point along the way, The Takanosuke Disease took over. And I would still consider him my #1 favorite, but with all the Sakyo insanity ive been having, I would say those two are both firmly tied for my #1 spot.

As for the ships, I guess if you wanna start way back, when I was little when I watched the show, I was obsessed with kyomado, and I do still adore them, but kyohyotsu quickly became my #1 upon getting back into it (technically I think it started with kyotsu and expanded but eh technicalities). Then with becoming The Zeo Abyss Guy, big into zeotoby for a while, and similarly to before, there was a period of time where takasakyo did not change my rankings at all (and they were in fact 2nd to zyronobu for a time) but now I am Insane about them (this is also omitting the fact that I actually was really hesitant to ship takasakyo romantically for a while bc most of the posts I had seen about them compared them and their dynamic really directly to kenta and ryuga and it made me uncomfortable ahshshs). So yeah <3 although I will add on that I don’t think kyohyotsu ever lowered in my ranks, it’s always also been #1 or at the very least a very close runner up, it just goes on the backburner most of the time now.

7. Is there a piece of clothing you think Sakyo/Hyoma is particularly fond of/that you imagine them wearing a lot or like to draw them in?

This is interesting bc I actually haven’t really thought abt this, surprisingly enough.

For Sakyo, I guess him wearing the item itself isn’t really a hc since it’s a part of his actual design, but part of my kurayami lore is that his belt was originally Ryoma’s and it brings him a level of comfort by being a physical tether he has to his father and his dragon side. Most of what I draw him in is like, form fitting sleeveless stuff based on his actual outfit and I imagine that’d be most comfortable and convenient for him given how active and flexible he is, though I do also enjoy putting him in a good hoodie bc I want him to be a silly comfy teenager <3

For Hyoma, my biggest thing is I imagine he is a big clothes stealer, especially from his partners. I like to think he takes a lot of stuff from Kyoya especially. There’s an idea I’ve had for 5ever that I don’t think I’ll ever get around to drawing but is basically just Hyoma with Kyoya’s necklace from his fusion/masters design asking him “hey do you ever wear this anymore?” and Kyoya responds “not really, no” and Hyoma just gives him The Look and after a beat of silence Kyoya’s like “OKAY FINE YOU CAN HAVE IT!” I think in general he likes having stuff from other people bc it makes him feel more connected to them and also helps when he’s lonely in koma

[pechtothevoid]

@bluepeachstudios Everyone is talking about Ghost, meanwhile i'm here with the fusions like "uh? what's going on? Who's Ghost?" because i haven't read the fic yet JAJAJA Also i still want to hug Dea. My bby </3 (idk how but the watermelon boy is my fav. It doesn't make sense because i really like Leo and Raph better, and therefore i should have Pheo as fav? and i kinda do. but Dea grew on me and now i'm adopting him?!?!?!?! /j)

ANYWAY MY HCS OF THE DAY /j :

I read that Sam Riegel is the voice of Daphy and my whole world changed. I always heard him talking like Chongo's Shadow (The guy that voices Shadow in Snapcube) I just, he's kinda like Shadow: edgy and in love with guns :D! He just like grenades better /hj

Remember my last HC that Mio's fav person in the world is Daphy? Well, gonna break his heart, but to Daphy is Miguel. In the fic, Mikey is the one who gets Daphy to calm down when they need him to stop. Not Mio or Leo, MIKEY. I think he's the only person that can "influence" Daphy (he's his true weakness/hj). (If Mikey realize that idk what's gonna happen but at least some chaos will ensue.)

I think that Daphy and Mio have a "Villain and Minion" kind of dynamic. Daphy being the destructive master mind and Mio a mischievous helper ajsghdsja just, good.

…Idk if Daphy would like Punk or hardcore Dubstep... I think he would like "Geneticore" tho (there's like, one guy in YT that uses that genre? And i love his music a lot.) idk why this is important to me-

I always change some details in the fusion's designs, but with Daphy i want to point them out a little? One that's in the cannon design is his tail mask being burn. I love it a lot, is not just broken is burned! In that regard, i made his plastron stain look more like an explosion. And i made his teeth pointy. Idk, i wanted to make something different that another Donnie gap and still change his teeth because of Donnie's design. So, pointy teeth..?

Also I gave him Rise!Donnie eyebrows. (He kinda remind me of Rise!Donnie when he gets in mad scientist mode)

He's the other OP one. (I kinda want to make/see a power chart now)

ANYWAY. SALUTATIONS TO GHOST IG???? -dies-

[doobledabbadoo]

interrupting my weekly mr men posting to show you this super swag website with epic pokemon fusions!!!!

i love so many of the designs here honestly??? some of my personal favs:

[idkagoodblogname1]

TAWOG William humanization hc lol

I've been rewatching Gumball and I forgot how funny the show was and how much I loved it. I also love the characters and appreciate how each one is developed and has their own story while still following the narrative (thanks Rob) and my current favs are Tina (absolute favorite as a kid too), Bobert, and William. I wanted to draw some humanization designs and since William is the only one who doesn't have one in the inquisition and also seems the absolute hardest to make a design for I decided to draw him.

He has a sort of character shift from the voice to the agent to take on the typical James Bond villain role but I think it fits well with my headcanons, which I'll dump under the cut.

Season 1-4

-He's like a fusion between Bobert and Ocho with being socially awkward and having anger issues. He desperately wants to come off as normal but he's mute and expects people to sort of read the vibe off of him (explanation for why he'd expect Gumball and Darwin to get what he's saying in the voice without him talking when as a human he already knows he's mute)

-He doesn't think he's the only weird kid here and in his mind Bobert is sort of a kindred guy, though he doesn't like him because as the series goes on he does get along better with the other students. William isn't approached by anyone and comparing himself to Bobert and seeing he's still so lonely is Not fun

-He also initially saw himself in Juke as they're both mute but the difference is Juke doesn't come off as a weird kid and thus even if people can't understand him they still hang around him

Season 5 (The spinoffs)-Season 6

-So the wardrobe change, when Rob wanted to do a show with William and Tobias he was like: hold on you gotta look like a cheesy school preteen and then suggested the sweater vest. William saw this as approval and decided he'd wear the vest to try and appear more confident, also taking his hair out of his face. Tobias was also friendly to him here so he sees this as a good thing

-The agent has the typical Gumball snark and William wasn't in the mood to deal with him or Darwin and stole the stuff. He amped up the snooty villain act a little and being able to relay words to someone made him overconfident. After he gives all the stuff back he reverts a bit back to his whole weird kid vibe but is slightly more confident

I like William and he's a cool concept so designing a human version was fun. I'll design some more characters later lol

[ehnrat]

Pleaaase tell me about your favorite GemOc/Sona. I haven't used mine in eons, but I miss the incredible designs and stories people used to put into theirs.

the way i exploded into a million hearts and sparkles and confetti

OKAY SO I GOT LIKE A LOT OF GEM OCS HERE SO I MIGHT RAMBLE

BUT THE MAIN ONES I LOVE AND HAVE THE MOST LORE FOR ARE: LaLi (Lapis Lazuli, she/her), Pearl (he/him), and Bear (Pink Beryl, they/he) !

Together, they are the Flower Gems—sworn protectors of preserving the Earth's beauty, flora, and fauna.

Putting this under a read more bc i typed a lot <:3c

Starting with my dear LaLi, she was the first gem oc (used to be gemsona) i made back in 2014 !! Here's her most up-to-date visual vs her first one owo

Lapis Lazuli's are my fav gemstones (thanks hamtaro) and i made her before SU Lapis was announced/revealed. LaLi is a friendly gem who loves sparring, human culture, photography, playing the piano, and meeting new beings. She can manipulate both water and sand, but she mainly prefers fighting with her Khopesh sword weapon. She taught herself how to fight by watching some soldier gems during her terraforming days.

She grew a bond with Pearl when she was assigned to aid his superior, Petalite, and wanted to get to know him more. During the time of the rebellion, Petalite abandoned Pearl when their ship was attacked, causing LaLi to whisk Pearl away to Earth away from the danger. There, she and Pearl began to grow closer and find themselves in their new world. They even had their first fusion (Prehnite) on Earth !

She started out pretty silent and observant, but she soon blossomed into an outgoing type who wants to fight for her friends (and fight in general, she loves to fight). She's still very much observant tho, making sure their world is free from dangers and her buddies are doing okay, becoming the de facto leader of the Flower Gems.

---

Next up, we have my second gem oc (also used to be gemsona) Pearl ! I created Pearl before there were any lore or information that there were other Pearls as well as Pearl being my birthstone and another favorite gemstone of mine :3

I haven't made a new visual for him, but here's his sort of up-to-date visual vs his first one

At first, Pearl's lore was that he was a Homeworld Gem that had a past with LaLi and came down to Earth to retrieve her. He was sort of an antagonist to her. Now, as explained above, he was saved by LaLi and lived life with her on Earth to protect it's life. He was a self-proclaimed Fire Flower Knight.

Pearl is a somewhat snooty and arrogant gem who likes to keep up appearances and make sure everything is in proper check if LaLi is off doing her own thing. He can manipulate fire/heat and has a Glaive weapon. He's pretty hard to read and doesn't like to hang out with other as much as LaLi does, but he does like spending time with her, playing the violin, and sparring. Once you get to know him, he's pretty soft and kind and deathly afraid of rabbits. He's usually in charge of doing retcons and keeping maps and charts of places they've been.

Overall, Pearl is a pretty loyal gem who grew to be his own being and not allow to be controlled or shaped to fit anyone that didn't allow him to just be himself.

---

Lastly of the trio, we have Bear ! They also lack an updated ref, but here's their most up-to-date visual vs their first one !

Bear's lore is that they were once a scholar gem on Homeworld, tasked with other Beryls to keep track of Gem History and Culture. His rank was pretty high and respected and he played his part and didn't care much for other gems nor the rebellion. However, in some of his notes on Earth where he jotted down it's beauty, the other beryls interpreted as Bear becoming rogue and planned to have him interrogated. Around the same time, he encountered another former high ranking gem, now turned "defect" by the name of Dentritic Agate (Dendé). Long story short, Dendé attacked Bear for being to nosey in his business and the two sort of have a history of not liking each other. They did end up crossing paths on Earth later on.

Bear ended up on Earth escaping his interrogation where they knew they were going to either get shattered or bubbled forever. Because of this, they were labeled a "traitor" and had a bounty on their head. He ended up getting wrapped up in the Gem War and poofed on the battle field, however, his gem managed to get buried underground for years. Eventually, he managed to reform by tapping into his latent earth manipulation, resurfacing to a new world.

With no one to turn to, Bear isolated themselves from other beings, trusting no one, but found comfort and solace with the Earth and animals around him. They ended up taking up forms of animals he befriended, especially a family of bears he was "adopted" into. He soon encountered humans, but kept his distance. However, these humans were destroying the forest he resided in, so he took on multiple forms of animals to drive them away, soon becoming an urban legend of a Shapeshifting Forest Protector.

i know i do want to work on his backstory more, but essentially he did end up getting close to a human after saving them and the human pestering them to be friends. Bear watched was there in the human's life watching them grow and have a family until one day their village was attacked and burned to the ground. The human ultimately got caught in cross fire and subsequently died in Bear's presence. Wanting to protect the place this human cared so much about, Bear shapeshifted into a multitudes of beasts and laid waste to the pillagers, but indirectly destroyed what little the village had left.

The remnant of people, including the human's family that survived, connected that Bear was that one myth of the forest, took it as a bad omen, and tried to have him killed. He ended up fleeing and never wanted to get close to humans again. Years later, he was founded by LaLi who was so ecstatic to see another gem and wanted him to join her small gem group of two. At first, Bear was annoyed, but LaLi's continuous pestering reminded him of his late human.

Begrudgingly, he joined her and found home with LaLi and Pearl. He was left alone to his own devices and mainly either stayed in his room or tended the gardens around their base. He tolerated the two and even saw them as family, SOMEWHAT, but he doesn't show it. He does care about them in his own, indirect way, and eventually made it his goal to become stronger to keep those he holds dear safe.

Oh also, they can manipulate Earth and their weapons are Dual Tonfas nwn they love playing their flute and tending flowers

---

AND THAT'S THE FLOWER GEMS !!! I tried to only get down their main points but man do i have a lot to say that i left out LMAOOO I used to run an ask blog for them years ago, but it's dead <:3c I still keep it around for memory sake <3

Man.... i got so many doodles and AUs and lore for these gems AND the others i haven't mentioned ARGHARGHARGH OTL

[roselightfairy]

Also, I suspect I know what this title is for, so I'm hoping for some fun juicy additional tidbits from:

Mod FAV snippets

Hahahahahahaha so this one is a pure vanity project, maybe the most navel gaze-y thing I've done.

When I started working with @deheerkonijn, I absolutely loved playing around in modverse and I've continued to love it. But it's an interesting balance, working with a specific set of characterizations and situations! Our depictions of Legolas in our own work often appear on the surface to be completely, completely different. While working together, we've found a ton of points of connection and similarity, and have realized that we have a very similar view of him as a character after all, but the way that looks outwardly is - uh, quite different. Influencer!Legolas is about as opposite of FAV!Legolas as you could possibly come, you know? So just for fun, just for myself, I started playing around with what my specific characterizations and OCs would look like in a similar fusion universe. It was only for me and DHK, but it was a ton of fun (and turned into, like, a Legolas Family Drama TV Show haha).

Probably the crowning jewel of anything I wrote in there, though, was a made-up magazine profile of Gimli the architect, and since I haven't given you any snippets, I'll include a bit in here:

But if he’s been collaborating with Éomer of Rohan, does that mean we can expect to see more of his work outside the country? “I’m not saying anything about that yet!” he deflects again. “Nothing is set in stone – if you’ll forgive my pun.” No amount of gentle prodding will get another word out of him, so I return to the subject of his life. What has the transition been like – between Erebor and Minas Tirith, moving outside of dwarf-only circles, and rising so quickly to prominence? “It’s been . . . surprisingly easier than I expected, actually.” He smiles fondly. “I was lucky that I made some really wonderful friends right away, and having them has helped me both with the emotional transition and with even the finer aspects of design. I might have loved Lady Galadriel when I was younger, but having an elf as an idol doesn’t mean I really knew anything about elvish design. But since I met Legolas, I’ve been introduced to a whole new world. I find I love trying to integrate all these different inspirations and sensibilities – it’s a refreshing challenge.” Ah, yes, Legolas. The elusive elvish husband who has somehow remained such an enigma to the public eye. What about him? I can’t help asking. What’s it like being a dwarf married to an elf – especially that one? Are the rumors true? Is he really that Legolas? But Glóinul refuses to tell me anything. “That’s personal,” he says. “We like to keep our private life as private as possible.” If the rumors are true, I can’t blame him. It’s been whispered that Glóinul’s husband is Legolas Thranduilion – yes, son of that Thranduil, longtime prime minister of Eryn Lasgalen and generator of the most rumor and controversy since Thingol himself. Legolas has been much farther removed from the spotlight than his sister Laerwen Thranduiliel, former Lasgalen Secretary of State and center of a fair amount of spectacle herself – but that doesn’t mean he couldn’t step forward and claim some fame himself if he asked for it. So far he’s never granted an interview, and even Glóinul has never explicitly confirmed his identity, but my eyes keep straying back to that gorgeous antique desk in his studio. If that isn’t Lasgalen design, I don’t know what is. “Legolas is my husband,” is all Glóinul will say when I point this out. “All that’s important for you to know is that he’s my most fervent supporter, my biggest inspiration, and he makes me happier than anyone I’ve ever known. He’s been with me since before all this started, and honestly I admire him more than anyone I’ve ever met.” His fond smile says it all, but I can’t help teasing a little. Even the Lady Galadriel? “Even her.” Glóinul smiles. “But I don’t think she’d hold it against me.”

Thanks for asking! These will probably never see the light of day, so it was fun to get to share a little bit of it!

my fav ships of Steven Universe (rareshipper)

for people who dont know whats a rareship: is a ship of characters that dont talk to much or they dont know each other, but they are from the same universe or same history.

So i will be sharing my favorites from Steven Universe ^^

Pearl x Volleyball ( pink pearl )

I just think they look really cute, also i loved that they had a whole episode in Steven Universe future where they were together and also fused!! ( wich it has a really cool design at least for me ) I like to call this ship " Strawberry & Cream " because it reminds me of them xD and also because they are so sweet ^^ Im sure that Volleyball wants to be a ballerina or something and Pearl helps her with anything she can.

Idk, i just see Volleyball like the artist of the relationship -w-

Padparadscha x Leggy ( ruby )

( drawing by slimgems ) Is like, they look perfect together, and there was a comic where they tell new orders to Leggy, and she get really nervous, and then Padparadscha tell her: " my dear friend, you´re about to get overwhelmed by instructions! may I relay them to you for clarification? "

and i really loved that!! Padparadscha is really helpfull when is about feelings, and Leggy seems to get really nervous or doesnt really know what is happening, and i think Padparadscha really helped her a lot of times. There´s also some drawings of how could be they´re fusion and they look so awesome!!

one example

maybe one day i will try to make a fan fusion of them

Carnelian x Padparadscha

( edit by me!! )

i thought they could look good together, even also with Leggy, i could try to make a fan fusion of them 3 one day -w- I thought a one-shot where they asign Carnelian as one of the protectors of Padparadscha, and with the time they started to get along and having fun, even trying to fuse ( i also made a fan fusion of them 2 ;3 i will post it later )

those are some of my fav ships, what do u guys think about them? do u have any other fav ship? tell me in the comments!! i will read all of you ^^

Thoughts on the P3 casts personas? i.e which do you prefer between the initial and secondary personas and which are your favourites?

Oh god thank Rui ily for this

Ok so I'll keep this one fairly opinion based (because someone else asked me a very similar question and I thought fuck it I'll rant about them twice because Personas and their designs are my fav thing to talk about) so without further ado:

So in general I absolutely adore the Persona 3 cast's Personas. Design wise they're not as flashy as P5's but I feel like they don't need to be because their more muted color palette and simpler designs fit the tone of P3 well. There are some I love to pieces (Penthesilea, Artemisia, Caesar, Castor and Cerberus come to mind) and then there are some that I don't like that much (Polydeuces and Nemesis). I'll put a more detailed breakdown undercut because I know I'll get carried away lmao but those are my general thoughts!

I'll break them down by character so it's easier!

MC/FeMC: OK so I do have a preference for male Orpheus but I honestly like both! Female Orpheus has a more cheery color palette (well brighter is prob the better word) which I like a lil more but I think the original one is just iconic. I love his harp and how he uses it to bash enemies idk why that's so funny to me it just is. Thanatos is probably one of my favorite designs ever I love that guy so much. I love his mask and I love how beast like he is. And the coffins? Absolute banger design. Messiah is overall a good design but I'm not as fond of it? It's very well executed but I think because it's so late in the game and it's just not as iconic as the other two I'm kinda meh about it you know. Thanatos is my fav for the MCs (and if he doesn't count for whatever reason then Orpheus).

Junpei: I don't have too much to say about Hermes design wise other than I like him! I like his bird look and tbh my fav thing about him is actually his attack animations! The way he slides into enemies is really satisfying to me idk why. Trismegistus though. God I love him so much. Mostly because of his awakening scene that is honestly one of the highlights of the game (like a lot of the second tier awakenings) and the fact his design is a fusion of Hermes and Medea is just so so good. I def prefer him.

Yukari: I really enjoy both Io and Isis a lot. I really like their designs and their lore and how it ties into Yukari's own story! However compared to some of the others, these designs kinda fall in the middle of the pack for me. Solid looks but nothing crazy you know? I think I slightly prefer Isis because of her wings I think that's such a cool design feature.

Akihiko: Ah my boy. He has one of the best and the worst persona designs of the cast for me. Polydeuces is such a dope choice for him as a Persona. Picking the immortal half of the Gemini twins for him and giving Shinji the other one is so so so so good and I could rant all day about why I love the concept. The design? Ugly af I'm sorry 😭 I cannot stand it it looks so weird the big bulky body with the skinny little legs looks so off-putting and his hair is just so weird? I don't like it at all 💀 Caesar however???!! Absolutely ADORE him. Such a powerful looking design and I love the lil person who sits in his chest (I'm one of the "it represents Shinji" people because I just love that idea so much). Caesar def is my preference here.

Fuuka: I really love Fuuka's Personas because of how she interacts with them. I really like how she's encased inside the persona and I think both Lucia and Juno look really really good. Unfortunately they're kinda similar to Yukari's for me in that they're like both very good but just don't stand out as much as some of the others. I prefer Lucia for her lore and I prefer Juno's design so 🤷‍♂️

Mitsuru: Oh baby. I absolutely adore Penthesilea and Artemisia to DEATH. I have written essays on here about the details of their designs and how they fit Mitsuru as a character so so well. Probably two of my favorites in the entire series. If I had to pick I think I'd give the slight edge to Artemisia because the fact that she has that red mask symbolizing the fact Mitsuru is finally coming out of her shell and letting down her walls a little makes me so so emotional.

Koromaru: Cerberus is a very very good boy. I think it's a really on the nose design but there's nothing wrong with that he's perfect. 10/10 would pet and give treats.

Ken: I think Ken's personas have the same deal as Akihiko's for me but to a lesser degree. I don't like Nemisis that much. I don't hate it as much as I hate Polydeuces, I just think it looks really awkward. I could see what they were going for and the blade saw thing is cool it just looks... Kinda weird. Idk. Kala-nemi on the other hand I much prefer! I think it does the over exaggerated proportions much better than Polydeuces (it's big bulky shoulders look and move really well) and I like the lore behind it. It's not a massive favorite but I enjoy it.

Aigis: Honestly I like both Palladion and Athena a lot. They're both really solid designs and they fit Aigis super well! I'd have to give the edge to Athena though because I love the big shields that circle her. Really cool touch.

Shinjiro: Oh god Castor. I adore Castor so so much. Such a fantastic design. The horse the blade in the chest just everything about him. He looks like Polydeuces but just so so much better. Brilliant design def one of my favs in the series.

top 5 fav characters?

info dump to your hears content on this one cus it's basicly a blank check

FROM WHAT? ! ok uhhhh going to do one from my main fandoms I guess

Wtdw- the twins (shut up lollipop is one character cause I said so) anyway I love them because I think their dynamic is interesting and just something not explored enough in horror media and their really fun to write. Second fav is ribbon dancer

Fnaf- the day care attendants. BUT ONLY MY VERSION. hot take the dca fandom ruined them. Sorry not sorry. Um. I liked them because of their complexity and the iver all unhinged uncanny valley they had. But the fandom turned them to soft and like romantic. When in my head it's just like two teenagers who are done with everyones shit and go feral. Second fav is vany/Venessa

TADC- while it hasn't been a round long it's made a significant impact on my fandoms list for brain rot. My favorite is gangle so far and I would like to see how they progress as a character. I'm also a theater kid so. Second fav is pomni.

Underverse- fresh ink or color. THRU HI E SO MUCH GENDER AND LIKE ARE DO FUNK ANC EVIL AND I NEVER TALK ABOUT HIM EVER BUT HE DOES MEAN A LOT TO ME SIMPLY FOR HAVEING THE BEST CHARACTER DESIGN OF ALL TIME

And outsiders- I saved this one for last because it's the hardest. I don't really have a favorite. I love Owens complexity. I love Apos character arc. Gracies personality. Magics symbolism and story. Krows choices . Beks attitude. Mowhee everything! Like. I can't pick one! They all mean so much to me. I end up majority writing Owen cause he's the one I've seen the most of but every character is important and special and AH! I love them all so much. So yeah. Sorry I can't pick there.

Other than the last two you'll notice I have a trend with reallying liking characters that have like more than one mind I guess? Gangles comedy and tragedy personalities. Loli and pop. Sun and moon. Idk it's even with some of my second favorited Eric and ribbon. Vanny and Venessa. Huh I guess color counts too actually bring a fusion if fresh and ink.

A friend brought up the trend once and I thought it was cool.

I would like to give and honerable mention to sparrow from new life smp. Because oh boy is he one of my favorite characters of all time. But he's also like the only character of New life i love? Don't get me wrong scotts great but Sparrow is the ideal blorbo so no one can even begin to compare.

[depressedhatakekakashi]

I might not be the first to propose this but..fusions in Naruto! It would be so fricken mcchicken licken good to see fav characters combine into one even more badass one! Think of the potential for character design!! I just wanted to speak out to someone about this cuz it randomly popped up in my lil pea brain

Oh that would be a fun idea! I had a friend (not sure they want me to name them here XD) suggest steven universe au but i couldn’t figure out how to work that out

But the fusion part alone would be super cool

Naruto and Sasuke fusing together for the first time in their fight against Haku. Learning each other’s move’s on a whole diffrent level and coming to understand each other just a little bit better. They have Sasuke’s style but in a bright orange that make’s the poor boy cringe SO HARD.

Or Naruto and Sakura fusing to fight Kakashi during their second bell test, and ending up with a really cool mismatched style that includes a cute little crop top.

Some people are fine with fusing with anyone they trust (Naruto, Sakura) some prefer to fuse only with specific people (Kakashi) and some outright refuse to fuse for their own reason’s (Yamato, hates the feeling of sharing his body when he worked so hard for his individuality)
