oKaY listen! Jegulus is my OTP and I LOVE me some Bartylus too, but REGULUS & PANDORA 🥹🥹🥹

My babies!!!

Just that they understand each other in a way nobody else can and and and AHHH

1. Okay first of all: SHIP NAMES

Their most common one is Regdora which - kinda boring? Like it’s not bad, but when we have names like STARCHASER or NOBLEFLOWER or FLOWERPOT for other ships that just won’t do. Therefore my suggestion:

Stargazer

Because Star - Regulus (no explanation needed) and like gazer as kind of a synonym for seer?? Alternatively I have Starseer or Waterbox (Water for Reggie like in Moonwater + Pandoras Box yk), but Stargazer just sounds so Stargazer.

2. I OBVIOUSLY love them as an „Arranged Marriage I don’t want AT ALL (why are there butterflies in my stomache??) trope“, BUT also as the „we are queer best friends and jealous of each others partners, but idk why” trope!!

Also how many AMAZING Dynamics they have??

- Grumpy x Sunshine

- I hate everyone, but you and you love everyone, but you love me the most

- Soulmates

- Best Friends to Lovers

- ENEMIES TO LOVERS (Arranged marriage trope)

3. The DENIAL the both of them would have (especially when they are both seers) like:

„I saw a prophecy that showed me and Reggie in a Cottage with a child that could be related to us - MUST BE BECAUSE HES THE GODFATHER“

„Had a Dream abt Panda standing in front of me in a wedding gown - GOOD TO KNOW IM GONNA BE HER BEST MAN“

DO YOU GET WHAT I MEAN??🥹

or the Arranged Marriage Trope??

„Dream Abt making out against a door with Regulus - HOW WEIRD”

“Wow Pandora looks like a goddess in that dress, her glare makes me feel fuzzy and I want to smooth the frown on her forehead with my fingers while she looks up at me - IVE GOTTA REALLY LIKE THAT DRESS TO THINK LIKE THAT”

4. Once they ACTUALLY start dating they would literally be inseparable. They would cuddle and kiss and talk 24/7! Even their me-time they both need turns into us-time and is just as effective. They would start to panic if they don’t see each other for more than a DAY. Also their dates would be sooo cute!! No matter whether it would be the cozy queer cafe around the corner or the flashy pureblood dance balls. They would have such a comfy aura and nobody would mind their pda cause they would be so comfortable with each other.

Sometimes they would just spend a day in absolute silence but a COZY COMFY DOMESTIC ONE yk???

Also the “I hate physical touch except for when it’s you” trope!!

5. Just then going to a pride parade together with matching outfits in like their 30s, already married and a bi flag on Reggie’s cheeks and a Pan one on Dora’s and they would be so PROUD.

Or just the courting process in the arranged marriage trope PEAK!!

6. They are love. They are soulmates. They are Stargazer (or Waterbox still unsure bout that one)

This got WAY longer than I originally intended but oh well :)

REGDORA!!! FAIRYSEEKER!!! MY LOVES <33333

you don't understand how much I adore them. I love love love them. they're my everything's <3 my hunnies <3 my sweet little babies <3

okay so, 1. I actually don't mind the name regdora, but yes, it's blant and ugly compared to everything else. personally, I know them as fairyseeker, which is what you can find them under on my blog lmao. stargazer is a GORGEOUS ship name... though I think of regularly every time I hear it lmao

i LOVE the name waterbox. idk why I just adore it

2. yesssssssss!!! istg they have the best troupes (next to bartylily). them as arranged marriage partners sounds so fun. imagine they're just kids when they first meet, and they're told they're supposed to get married when they grow up to combine the rosiers/lestranges

at first, they don't mind (they're tiny and have no idea what being married even means). they start hogwarts, and both realise that they're into their same gender people (once again, i bring up my mtf dora + ftm reg). so both spend a lot of time just convinced they aren't into each other. reg is a lesbian after all, and pandora is gay... then they come out as trans and both are like: oh-

3. grumpy x sunshine is so them omfg

them bith as seers???? Christ. them being so fucking blind is just so fitting. they never even consider that they might like each other

them as oblivious little fuckers so true. they are in deep denial fr. regulus is foaming out the mouth at how pandora is, but it's completely platonic

4. HSEIBSIEBSOENSO YESS OMFG

All they need is each other. they're always together, getting one of them alone is impossible. you can try, and you will fail

that trope is SO them. it's insane

5. they would definitely love their time at a pride parade. they're having the time of their lives and they've been happier

6. I love it when asks go this long. it just sucks because I usually can't add anything on because you guys are just so correct already 😮‍💨

thank you for sharing your brain with me. I appreciate it a lot <3

[shootingstarrfish]

Curious Lebanese here⭐️

I don't know if you're Arab yourself, but I was really curious about why you went for سدرة (sidra) instead of نجمة (najma)? Is it because Sidra is given as a name more often?

Thought I'd share some fun fact(s) on the word/name too!

Sidra can also mean: constellation - the star shimmering in the sky.

its primary, more reknowned meaning and definition: a (type of) tree that grows in the highest heaven, to the right of god's throne.

And I've got to say that I feel incredibly happy and proud when people choose Arabian names for their children (OCs included, ofc lol) and Arabic vocab/names fanfiction titles!

I won't end my ask without complimeting your MC. They're too cute and I dig their style. But I'm afraid I must refuse the tissues...

hello curious lebanese anon! i am indeed arab as well, which was why i was really set on going with an arabic name :D

but thank you for the question! honestly there isn't a super deep reason, i did actually consider Najma initially cause that was what came to mind first for something star related, but i didn't feel it fit him too well in my head?? i also tossed around Shams (sun) since the sun is also a star and though i ship my mc with other characters as i please, i thought the sun and moon theme would be really cute for him and belphie! but i also didnt think that fit for some reason? but eventually i was gonna suck it up and just go with one of them, but i decided to do a quick search and see if there were any other names, and i came across Sidra and i had one of those "omg this is perfect" moments hahaha

but i really wanted to push myself to give them an arabic name at the very least since not much of them/their design really indicates anything arab, so i really tried to avoid the easy route of picking an english/japanese name and im glad i did! :>

and thank you for the fun facts and the compliments! his ego is probably very overinflated now but he kinda just shrugs at the tissue rejection and considers it your loss

[firstdivisiongirl]

OH MY GAH HIIII !! I SAW THAT YOU DO MATCHUPS SO I WAS WONDERING IF I COULD A REQ FOR THAT BUT W TOKREV CHARACTERS ??? :DDDD i dont mind anyone tbh so dw abt choosing :33

ok i'll just drop some background info abt myself here :33

i'm aromantic + nonbinary, i am an entp 7w6 and i'm a pisces !! i like to draw, listen to music (either metal or just mainstream music i listen to whatever atp) and dance in my freetime !! :3

based on my personality ::

my friends tend to tell me that i'm the embodiment of the quote "dont judge a book by its' cover" cuz on the outside i act like a full on metalhead and really passive aggressive but at home i sleep next to a whole tower of plushies 💀🙏 and i collect stickers of silly little cats and otters (not my fault that they're so cute oml) i'm usually the clown of the group !! i tend to be hyperactive but my emotions change a lot- one second talking to me is like trying to get a toddler to pay attention to your teacher and the other is like trying not to get bitten by a rabid dog (my friend's words not mine). i tend to be a loud mouth srry . . . i do try to be quiet if necessary but if i get excited when talking i am a walking speaker . . . i get rlly excited if my favorite things are mentioned ?! like i would get rlly happy, smiley and would talk about it until i forget to breathe !! i like to consume horror media ?? idk if i can say that without sounding like an edgelord sobsob im sorry . . . i just love consuming those types of media (as a former kid w unsupervised access to the internet-) and i tend to ramble abt them along w other philosophical topics !! i like to discuss abt meaning of life, whether there are other universes, abt the capabilities of the human mind, etc. they're just so interesting!!! :] i guess im proud to say that my best trait is my humor 😋 maybe im overconfident abt this one cuz i just have pretty dumb sense of humor if im being honest frfr i tend to say things out of context . . . i like terrorizing my friends by saying the most outrageous things and overexaggerating them for the fun of it :333 though sometimes i kinda mean what i say

for my ideal partner ::

i'd say i would like someone who's fun to be around but at the same time they gotta be interesting for me to find them fun . . . like they gonna have smth to them that makes me wanna observe them like they're a lab rat being experimented on and being put under observation :33 ppl like that make me wanna see whats inside them and how they see the world around them !! i just love those kinds of ppl aaaaa ik im overdramatic for this one but like . . . i need someone who can handle me- as in my emotions and sometimes my way of loving . . . cuz if i did love someone, i would obsess over them and would dream of dying w them out of euphoria cuz being w my partner is the only thing that keeps me alive and human 😞 i wanna feel genuine happiness and pure bliss w my partner so thats why after that i think we should die together, that way we both know that finally we lived our life to the fullest (in my pov, 'the fullest' means you finally reach the climax of ur happiness/u live to the moment where you're the happiest you've ever been) (idk if that makes sense but that has always been my fantasy LAWD IM RAMBLING) need someone whos as crazy as i am :333 if he aint insane i dont want him fr i need to make him worse /j

i think thats all abt me :333 pls take ur time and make sure to put urself first btw !! aside from that, its ok if you ignore this one cuz at the end of the day its up to u <333 have a wonderful day/night mwah you're super cool

Hello! Of course you can have a matchup. Thank you for the kindness. I would like to warn you that I picked a somewhat controversial character. I hope you like it!

You Got...

Tetta Kisaki!!!

If boy can handle the chaos the is Shuji Hanma, he can handle you!

You wanted crazy...

Would love to see you smile when you get super excited about something! His favorite thing is to see the person he loves happy.

He is really really smart. So you would have very intellectual and philosophical discussions.

Would love that you aren't all you seem. Because he is the same way. You two can be badasses when out, but totally different when it is just the two of you (and Hanma sometimes when he is being Hanma and not leaving you all alone.)

Movie date nights. He'd let you pick it. If you're happy, he's happy.

[heaurtfk]

im back

and you know what that means - it's cuz a bomb just dropped (your butt, your butt's the bomb.) but no please. EVERYBODY PLEASE GO CHECK OUT NOBODY WANTS THIS STARRING THE BEAUTIFUL KRISTEN BELL AND GORGEOUS ADAM BRODY im gonna be honest i did not know who adam brody was before this but ooooooo yummers.

ok this is gonna be a long one so bear with me, or don't wtv. i AM on some form of adrenaline rush and my thoughts are everywhere considering i literally just binged the entire series on the day it came out but i don't blame myself one bit for this one but im gonna be spitballing here aight

first of all, chemistry? right off the bat, that was one good pilot. UGH

and can I also just say. i can't remember the last time a show made me like EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEIR CHARACTERS. slay. very slay. I even liked the ex girl. everyone's just so chaotic and so miserable and so delusional. everyone had actual character. actual personality.

misunderstandings never lasted long which THANK THE LORD!!! i greatly appreciated that.

if you were thinking oh another boring romcom with jokes and shit and yeah you'd be kinda right. the humour? top fucking notch. but i also think that they covered the relationship101s which wow #relate

man's not replying me after 3hrs: cue overthinking ✅

insecure af about being emotionally dependent on someone who could easily break your heart ✅

my boyfriend introduced me as his friend, fuck him ✅ (also i swear this is an all guys thing)

"am i changing too much for someone - is that too desperate?" ✅

THE ICK ✅

fuck me his ex is so pretty ✅

but its ok im growing. let's be mature about this. i trust you ✅

"can you convert?" "should i really be converting for you?" ✅

and also kinda deep family stuff sprinkled here and there HAHAHA

unresolved family issues but the family is still there. they're trying. they're not perfect but they don't hate each other!! we love a dysfunctional family.

cute siblings dynamics. we got brother-brother, sister-sister, AND sister-sil-sister

cute father-son/father-daughter moments and we got a winner mother moment somewhere too

just something slight tho. im not Jewish and im no Judaism expert but I did feel like for a rabbi, he wasn't really that rabbi-ish. yaknow? and idk how accurate that bit is, but maybe that's the point of his character? its a rom com right. sooo i felt like the religion part was used for really more of a barrier to entry/forbidden love trope kinda thang. it was more about navigating the social religious pressures around Noah.

and yeah can't expect too much from 10 episodes of 20-30mins each, but the whole thing did feel rushed (but maybe don't binge it all at once??? idk)

all in all though. solid show. im so so proud i watched it the day it came out lol. on the other hand, i was kind of a bum the whole day but i really do think this helped my mental health lol

just watch it guys. its so good. 10/10

[syntaxaero]

I am only just getting familiar with your blog and art and I love it! You have such a mastery of soft body shapes and the creatures you draw are all very cute and aesthetically pleasing to me!

Which of your OCs/sonas do you most best identify with and why (if you can make that distinction at all)?

Which of your OC designs is your favorite at this time, or the one you are most proud of?

Thank you!

The one I would say I most relate to would be Aero, usually! After all they're sort of my main sona and one I project sort of gender/body goals onto (Though currently I wouldn't say I have any characters that really resemble me or my own body shape- im fairly just kinda barely skinny/"average" size)

If I had to pick a faaav it definitely changes on mood or maybe whoever I've most recently designed/redesigned- But right now I think Aurex (blog icon, BIG dragon) and Stratus are the ones living most Rent Free In My Brain. Love all my little guys quite frankly

[the-gayest-sky-kid]

realized i never posted this outside of the aeventi discord server and im actually kinda proud of the pictures so

now with annotations!!!

venti is nothing but a short king to me and i refuse to believe he'd be anywhere above my chin. aether gives off 5'4 energy and somehow everyone agrees with that. aether is always taller to me

age is obvious. we only know so much but i think the traveler is a lot older so thats why aether gets ++.

gender is for losers real bitches use he/him pronouns because they're cool and imitating their dead bestie. paimon ate aethers but. he/they. in my heart and soul.

my headcanons for venti depend solely upon the time of day or the weather or smth idk. regardless he is on the aroace-spec. aethers like fuck if i know???. and he doesn't fuck so he doesn't know

aether doesn't care that much but he leans more towards holding people cause then they dont run away from him in his dreams saying he came too late. or something. venti doesn't really care for spooning roles but he's actually always liked being held so (i see you sitting on your statue bozo)

venti keeps throwing his cape on aether. aether never actually asks for it but they do like it a lot. they both think it's really cute.

aether uses pet names ironically sometimes but only with people he wont see often or needs to sass. very aware of the importance and power of names. venti 'my warrior' 'my shining star' 'my hero' 'windblume' barbatos comes up with some new overly sentimental and important nickname every 10 seconds and he's about to make it everyones (aethers) business

i dont think aethers actually that introverted. we know they enjoy social gatherings and hanging out with friends and stuff. i think hes more just. normal. ventis a lot more social than him but he's not actually that extroverted.

venti 'my warrior youve worked so hard i understand how you feel' 'youre the gentlest soul ive ever met' barbatos is really good at conveying his affections through his words. of course though, hes more than familiar with the power of actions. aether knows how to give good advice and sweetalk but they definitely rely more on their actions to convey their thoughts

traveler 'your eyes remind me of the colour of the sky in my hometown' 'do you like the windblumes i picked for you' 'do you like the decorations in my house i can change them all if you hate it' aether is 100% the one that confesses first. i think venti would wait for them because he doesn't want to tie him down to anything but like. hes not oblivious.

aether completely and totally squashes bugs with his shoe on sight. i think it'd be funny if venti was really scared of them but he does appreciate all the life in this world so i feel like he's not actually that scared of them. he would scream for aether if there was a bug in the house just because its funny and they look so cool doing it

okay the thing is. they both have the potential to be equally good and bad drivers. venti can guide dvalin but he totally couldn't drive a waverider. aether could be decent at the waverider but he'd crash the dragon. they both could suck too.

venti can cook like 5 recipes total. hes pretty good at those, but like. only those. aether should definitely open a restaurant but they also like it sometimes when venti tries to cook. more often than not however aether makes dinner and ventis not complaining

aethers kinda neutral about it? there are times and things he could bare but ehhh. but he likes holding ventis hand a lot so he leans slightly more towards PDA. venti wants to kiss his boyfriend and its a free (and his) country so. but he definitely takes care to only do it when aethers comfortable. i feel like he only uses the really sentimental petnames alone though too. like 'my darling honorary knight' in front of people and 'my starfell apostle' or smth equally sappy and weird at home

aether knows venti can take care of himself. he knows everyone is more than capable of taking care of things. but their ally at low hp line (LET ME AT EM) leads me to believe they do have a protective streak. venti has seen his boyfriend fuck shit up literally everywhere they go and he knows a lot more about it than he lets on. He's definitely very chill about everything (like in the GAA) but that doesn't mean he isn't concerned sometimes.

i literally dont know. they're both like we've had a couple things that kinda went somewhere and kinda went nowhere at the same time. idk

horny level???? they are Asexual to me. i think ventis like. pretty low libido ace and aethers like while you were having sex *I* studied the blade. bitch. i think they make out sometimes but that's more of an intimacy thing

i choose to believe aether is kinda awkward. like dont get me wrong traveler is hilarious!!! in dialogue options and with paimon. and mona said they dont talk much so. i think hes only really funny in private, thoughts, or in his native language because some jokes dont translate very well. venti has his occasional moments but ultimately he is the more social one.

THEY ARE NOT VERY JEALOUS. TO ME. like they definitely have a large degree of healthy communication and trust. if they are jealous they talk to each other. i choose to believe aether is slightly more prone to it just because hes the more overprotective one and doesn't have like. song time powers.

so in conclusion: they are gay. your honor. homosexual even

[daemonwritesstuff]

MATCHUP TRADE WITH @sugutoad - 100% completed

A/N: Hi Anna! im so happy to do yet another trade with you! these are so fun to do and hopefully we can do more soon haha. I hope you enjoy this so much as much as I did with mine.

HARRY POTTER FAMILY ANALYSIS

Your Significant Other Is…

You have been matched with Regulus Black! After some thinking about your other HP matches he seemed like a more better fit for you.

Kallias Black!

The oldest child and brother! aka Regulus and Annas first child! He was born after you guys got married, He went to school the same time as the boy who lived did. they arent really close together since Kallias despises him for some reason. He is also Regulus's favorite child (he loves all his children ok??). Regulus was over the moon when he found out his son got into slytherin, He's very proud of his kids, even if they dont know. Kallias can get a bit too angry sometimes but calms down right away when his parents comfort him, he would do anything to make his mom and dad proud.

Illiana Black!

The second and oldest child! the sweet and intellegent child of Anna and Regulus Black. She daydreams a lot because you know... she dreams a lot, and she can acheive those dreams! She's really good at all of her classes, the black family is very intellegent. She's always with her pet dog, Sirius, which annoys her uncle sometimes and Regulus is super happy about haha.

Fayette Black!

The Third Daughter of Anna and Regulus Black! She's known for being super rebellious and mischievous. She gets in trouble a lot or playing with other peoples wands or causing chaos. She reminds Regulus to much like his Brother Sirius, they're just too alike! but it doesn't nessacarly make him annoyed or angered, he loves his daughter so much, he probably has to stop some arguments with her siblings. Regulus is a girl dad frfr.

Dorian Black!

Second Son and The Fourth Child! I think Kallias got a little jealous and upset when he got told that he's gonna have a younger brother, he wants to be the only son! enough with that though... Dorian is the peacemaker, he's everyone's favorite even if they don't show it, he's super popular In school and he knows it! He can be a little shy around people he doesn't know, so when his mom or dad is around he'll always hide or stay beside them, its so cute to regulus and Anna haha. He has to be forced to do his work or he'll be grounded which causes him to whine for a while but eventually stops. You always have to cook vegetarian meals for Dorian sinces he Vegetarian which you and regulus are fine with of course.

Nyla Black!

The Last and Youngest Child of Regulus and Anna Black! The cutest child in the house, you guys spoil her a lot and she turned out to be a cute yet has no brain cells kinda bimbo. But shes very hardworking and Regulus is very proud of that as well. She's probably the first person in the black family to want to do more independent things in the house. one time when her boundries were being pushed too far she scared the person with some scary figure and lets say that person never came back...

Raising a Child — before, during and after

Regulus was probably only present for the three of his kids birth after Voldemort controlled his mind into maddness

It was hard to raise 3 kids on your own, you had help from his brother Sirius, and some other family members but it was still hard without having the father present.

But before that they raised their children with so much love that it would blind you. They would take their children to places they wanted to go and they would also buy their children as many toys they want

While Regulus was away, Anna did everything she could to make her kids not forget their father, she would tell stories about Regulus when they met at Hogwarts, how their dates were, etc...

After a while Regulus came back and there were a lot of tears... of happiness of course, it was good for Regulus to be back with his family again, he never let you guys go when he came back.

He would take his kids for ice cream and to the park on the best summer days possible, he even takes them to the pool and teaches his younger kids how to swim!

Overall, this family is very successful and very happy, for eternity.

Reactions:

Black Family: You were probably in an exchanged marriage with Regulus ngl, but in a good way, your family was rich and successful so why wouldn't they wanna get you both married! little did they know you guys were already dating, which shocked them but surprising it didn't make them mad, when they found out you guys were having kids they were so overjoyed, Sirius always comes to the house to spoil your children (only when his parents aren't there)

Family Dinner and Date Nights

Family dinners can be a bit chaotic since everyone is gonna talk over one another about their days, or just random stuff, sometimes even food fights happen with the younger ones! but they are stopped right away.

Usually its very nice when having dinners though, its always good to hear the kids talking and just having a good time

Date Nights happen very rarely since you both can be busy sometimes but you'll always try to find a way to get out of the house, and you'll get Uncle Sirius and Jaxrel to babysit the kids LMAO

Your dates with him are with you going to your favorite places, or staying in a cafe while its raining and hands are intertwined together, your love with Regulus is very peaceful and heartwarming.

[imaginethezeldaverse]

ooughgh ok no but the 'you have to pat the rocks on yunobo's back like bongos to get him to uncurl' bit got me thinking about how like. have you ever played hide and seek with a little kid and just went really silly about it in a 'hmm... i wonder where they are? are they behind this giggly lump?' and then kinda played around them while pretending to look for them or whatever?? im imagining playing hide and seek with some of the goron kids (and actually maybe having to get yunobo after the first two sessions because the kids could blend in really well when they wanted to, i think) and being all "HMMMM i wonder where offrak and slergo are, these two giggly rocks couldn't be them, no way no how" and get all extra goofy about it and that just makes them laugh even more and jsut. god.

STOP THIS IS SO CUTE HELLO Okay so I'm thinking the first few times you play with them, they're in pretty obvious places, mostly because they're so excited to play with you that they don't think about where to actually hide lol You're not new to this rodeo however, so you really do go all out with the theatrics, hopping up on rocks and putting your hand to your forehead like you're looking out in the distance going "Slergo's got me good, I can't find him anywhere!" or "Hmmm, that Offrak is a sneaky guy! He's smart, I haven't a clue where he could be!" Meanwhile you can literally see both of them by the Rollin' Inn pretending to be pots in their curled up forms. When you tiptoe nearby they shake a little with their laughter and you turn to Yunobo, dramatically shouting, "Hey Yuno, do you hear that? The wind is awfully giggly today, huh?" to which the Goron champion has to stifle his own laughter - he knows the kids are loving this, and he's even more impressed with how much you lovingly lean into it. So when your fingers wiggle over and tickle them right at their sides, your quick yell of "Gotcha!" ends up with all three of you laughing. When it's your turn to hide you try to blend in just enough where you're not obvious but can still be found - and you even give them the option to ask Yunobo for help if they're finding it hard to spot you. To your surprise they manage to find you every time, with them throwing themselves at you to cling to your hands and legs in victorious laughter. Eventually you come to find that they get better at hiding, and you actually do really need to enlist Yunobo's help to find them. So as not to ruin their fun he always lets you actually find them, but man does it take you a while now. You've never been so proud though. 🥹 After your latest game of hide and seek, you can see that the pair is getting sleepy, so you and Yunobo offer to let them them nap at HQ since it's still early in the day. "They're good kids, aren't they?" Yunobo asks, carefully adjusting Slergo's curled up form in his right arm. You peer down at Offrak's sleeping face, and it makes you smile to know that you've become so close with them, "Simply the best."

[azumasoroshi]

continuing from the last post, we're back to izaya with the bag over his head and earthworm

and it's really interesting because he's animated in a way that makes you really, REALLY doubt that it's izaya

ok it's hard to show in photo form but like. the way he tilts his head back and forth with earthworm moving the scissors makes him look wary and nervous? and you cant see his face but his body language is so far from relaxed that you're like oh they must have captured nakura or some other person. no way izaya's actually in there

and after she asks about his sisters (you still cant see well in photo form but i gave you the timestamp and the episode number so :3) he shakes his head back and forth quickly with some kind of wobbly sound effect and it's so unlike izaya!!!! izaya wouldn't react to any of this right??

and then we cut to here!! and it's like oh yeah that definitely isn't him. he's literally outside with mairu right now

side note but awww they're so cute. im sure they're 100% normal mentally sound siblings who definitely didn't decide their personalities via a fucking coin flip ahahaha

orihara family is so fucking weird. sometimes i wonder if izaya is good at dodging shizuo's attacks because he's used to his siblings attacking him all the time (which is really cute actually) or if his siblings saw him getting chased around by shizuo all the time and thought 'hey that looks fun' and decided to attack him too (decidedly less cute but a lot funnier)

im assuming it's the first one though since the twins have been doing martial arts probably before izaya was in high school?? probably

it's funny how he's actually caught off guard here. like his ultra instinct carries him but he only turns after mairu makes a noise

like he's the king of environmental awareness as opposed to shizuo who kinda blocks everything out so this is hmMMMMm

mayhaps he lets his guard down around his siblings :eyes: ohoho do i sense a weakness orihara-san??

there was this line in the izaya youtuber au where namie is like damn i'm this proud at catching izaya off-guard for like a second?? my life is fucking sad. that's how i feel right now

smug bitch

flexible characters get me going bro like vash the stampede. izaya. why do i keep grouping them together in my head like they're both human lovers (albeit for very different reasons) and they're both flexible and they're both voiced by johnny yong bosch. what's the deal here what is fate trying to tell me about my taste in fictional men

i will never get tired of his acrobatics ugh

bro has a fuckin rectangular prism for an ass what is going ON there

um. gayass

what was i talking about again OH YEAH the earthworm thing. well not like i can talk about that any more until we cut back there

im not taking screenshots of the entire "fight scene" (it's just izaya dodging and being a little shit like "oh woe is me why would you attack an innocent civilian in public??" (he's the one holding the knife, mikage's brother points out)

and we're back! still not sure how exactly that works considering the transition between phones - was earthworm showing him the footage or something?? or playing the audio, because she asks about mikage right after

in any case izaya continues to keep his head low, visibly reacting to what she's saying/pouring the water but never saying anything

we switch away again to him talking to celty and we're at a really weird place where half of it feels like izaya's going to be under there and earthworm is actually getting to him this time, and we'll see through the flashbacks a series of fuck ups or how he planned to be here and be unphased but he's a little bit shaken by the torture methods

and the other half of it feels like oh, through the flashbacks we'll find out how exactly izaya caught on to them trying to capture him and made a stunt double

the one post that's like "i dont see him complaining" continues to crack me up

we cut back to earthworm again but im running out room of this post lmAOOO

it's incredible how hard it is for me to stop talking like this is actually insane. see you guys in the continuation post i guess

Okay, but picture twisted doggie land and the owners of each dorm are the villians! So

queen of hearts has her pups trained and pampered, a lot like how the queen of England was with her digs. They were spoiled, and kinda bratty. They behave for her, most of the time, and don’t like most other people. Riddle is her clingy baby, Trey and Cater are the two who are nice to kids, and Ace and Deuce are fighting in the background. They’re the ones who dig up the rose garden.

Scar lets his boys do what they want, all the time! They are reckless, and not behaved. Ruggie steals food, Leona snarls to scare kids, Jack behaves but that’s cause he just wants to be friends. Scar has them as guard dogs, the hyenas are the main carers for them.

Ursula also babies her boys, but the twins hate her pampering. They wanna run around! Azul sits there and preens, he’s Ursula’s doll, dress him up, he can pose, sit pretty, just praise him! Don’t worry about the twins murdering that one neighbor, just look at pretty Azul!

Jafar has his boys well behaved, silent, poised, they sit on either side of him, Jamil has perfected the deadpan, staring into your soul look, Kalim is vibrating in joy, wants to be friends. Kalim helps soften Jafar, he sighs exasperatedly as Kalim comes in covered in glitter somehow.

Queen has her beautiful boys, Vil and Rook are her two pride and joys, sitting perfectly, they know how to pose, how to walk gracefully, how to just be super elegant. Epel is her new puppy, who is still very much puppy. What’s worst is Epel sometimes drags Rook into running around and making a mess. Vil stares on in disgust. Queen has her hunter clean Rook and Epel.

Hades has his two boys, and is so tired. Idia looks the scariest, but is always cowering and hiding behind him, and Ortho looks adorable but is willing to fight to the death. He got the worst of both worlds! He still loves his doggies though! Hades entire camera roll is of his boys. He shows them off to Zeus.

Malifacent has the best behaved out of them all, all sit poised and ready, they all March beautifully behind her, only problem is Silver falls asleep while sitting and she needs to wake him up sometimes, Sebek barks so loudly metal poles ring, and Lilia likes causing problems when left alone. Malleus is her Velcro dog, if he was smaller he would love to be her little lap dog. Is jealous Lilia gets to be.

OK BUT GIS IS GENUINELY SUCH A GOOD CONCEPTT IM CRYING QUEEN OD HEARTS GETTING ANGRY UNGIL SHE SEES IR WAS DEUCE AND ACE RHAT DIG UP ANS AHE JUST GOES SIGHS...I GUESS U TWO JUST COULDN'T HELP IT...ITS OKAY...ILL LET IT OASS AHJSJDJ

scar would db the type to say they don't bite knowing damn well they'll bite anything that gets close to them 😭

URSUAL SPOILING HER DOGS ROTTEN AHSHSHA she thinks they're such angels she never believes when anyone says they bit a kid or something like that to her they're just perfect

love jafar w a beautiful serious elegant dog and then kalim comes in barking wagging his tail and covered in mud goes to lick him truly the dogs ever

QUEEN HER THE ICON they'd be so pampered... they smell delicious their fur is so soft and shine so beautifully her dogs are the envy of any dogs, especially because they're not only beautiful but super healthy and she clearly loves them a lot, she'd always scold epel but never ever manages to really be harsh because he's just so cute and she knows he's just doing that because he's still a puppy...she can't resist the little blue eyes

HADES AJSJJWHSHF IM GIGGLING SO KUCH he tries to walk Idia and idia just refuses to walk and gets scared of everything meanwhile ortho who looks easy to walk runs SO FAST hades constantly falls and injures himself, but yeah 100% proud dog dad

MALEFICENT WOULD BE AN AMAZING DOG MOM SERIOUSLY she'd pamper them treat them so well spoil them so much and it's always the mosy intimidating dogs that just melt in her lap<3

THIS IS SO SILLY

[hatgame]

UMUMUM *shakes sputters shakes sputters*

HI IM THAT ANON THAT REQUESTED U DRAW MOONJUMPER THAT ONE TIME *i still cry in happiness abt that everyday btw thank you!!!*

BUT UHH...CANN U TELL ME MORE ABT UR THOUGHTS ON SWEETENED DEAL? (Snatcher x Cooking Cat) I THINK ITS REALLY CUTE OKAY BYE THANK YOU! *peddles away on my Dora big wheel bike*

oh hello :) im glad you liked that drawing! & sure ^_^ glad you like it too

i commonly see it interpreted as snatcher n cc acting as hats parents and while that's sweet its not how i see it at all. i like them a lot more as her adult friends who take care of her every now and then but ultimately leave and trust her to handle her stuff, not taking that much responsibility. im not sure what thatd entail but older sibling snatcher (to hat) is kind of fun i guess. EMPRESS IS BOWS AUNT FOREVER THOUGH this im hellbent on.

ok i think i wanna talk about how ccs relationship w hat n snatcher developed. i always thought of cc as someone hat is the most verbal with, relying everything that's happened to her to him. while enthralled, proud and concerned, i dont think ccs that protective of her, hes shown to be much less responsible than people usually write her as tbh. she trusts hats capabilities n skills but still definitely recognizes that she is a child in need of support, and shes certainly warm and affectionate with her, but at the same time its not intruding or obligate, like a parents affection.

i think cc would be somewhat intrigued by what's up w snatcher because their behavior is so puzzling, probably especially so from hats retellings. once snatcher becomes a regular on hats ship (not his territory=cant assert hinself as much as he does in forest), where they probably meet, i dont think shed be intimidated at all, because i dont honestly think hed try to create that impression (it certainly didn't in the cut cafe scene. like, youd expect them to force someone to pay for them, but they're just kinda docile. they cant even get the people around them to answer their question lol)

i think snatchers like immediately completely pacified by ccs presence. i dont think theyd speak at all either. its lije those silent films where you have to rely on expressions and body language to tell what means what. its a little funny abd disarming because its clear they DO want to get something across, and thats a friendly gesture. it signals engagement abd cintact being established. snatcher would probably struggle with non scripted speech so this sort of communication would probably feel the least threatening. also would add to their already strange and interesting image in ccs mind

while idk how likely snatchers would be to actually do that ive been imagining him curling up in the pillows and napping only to wake up to cc sleeping either on top of or near them, since cuddle piles are probably common among cats + ccs impulsive. they probably would straight up forget to react. maybe they wake up to cc kneading them, make eye contact. one of them remembers cat social cues and slow blinks. other one slow blinks back. snatcher lies back down allowing itself to be kneaded. cc lies down on it. it changes position to be closer to it. not a single word said the whole time. its never brought up again but not forgotten.

uhh if they do eventually begin dating and hats there to witness it she probably wouldnt care much. bow would go awwwww Aawww though. mu is disappointed in ccs taste but probably warms up to snatcher eventually since they have a lot in common + snatcher mu friendship real and important to me

Ok this is not all but ill stop now. hope you enjoyed :) thank you for the ask. i really really loved dora the explorer as a kid

As a bit of an update and to celebrate reaching 2000 followers on Twitter, I've decided to revamp all 4 (5) of my 'sonas, the ones whom I've collectively began calling "The Auteur Quartet". I'm also going to be drawing them digitally like i have Illia, since I kinda value cohesion over everything, but for now these phone sketches are pretty good at showing off what I want. The digital pieces will each show off their auras, just like Illia (along with their deity tool) so consider them the more "powered up" designs, while these ones will fulfill a more casual role. The descriptions for each will probably remain the same however. 

Here's Esther's areas of influence alongside her themes. -Color: Magenta -Theme: The Ocean -Sphere of Influence: Life -Realm of Creativity: Actions and Descriptions

When the Tools of Creation went into what is essentially stasis, they reverted into simplistic forms and scattered across the planet. Over time, their forms would unconsciously change to match the times and in the current age they took on the form of art tools. 4 separate people managed to find 'em and essentially took on their roles of "creating more and more universes" while the deities rested. Of course, there's the issue that besides the powerful weapons these 4 wield...they're still just regular humans with faults and flaws. Esther is a spunky, sporty gal with the unfortunate problem of being way too open emotionally, to the point that it scares other people off. She's the lucky finder of the eternal sword of scribes, Serif-im. It's a large, ornate sword with a twisted root handle and a blade stylized like a pen nib. With it, she can write descriptive words onto any surface and they apply to the object. She can also use it as a regular sword, with its edge never dulling no matter what. Alongside her sword, she does also have dominion over the concept of life itself, allowing her to control both flora and fauna...but due to her interests, she casually limits herself to mainly using water and ocean based powers. 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Character Break Down: "Full Name": Esther Dulcinea Venturas Sexual Orientation: She's bisexual, but maaaaaaaan does she have bad luck with romance.  Age: 25 Birthday: December 4th Ethnicity: Pinoy-Australian. Her dad's the Australian one, but she uses her mom's last name because she likes it better. Her dad holds no ill will towards it and he agrees it fits more. 

Eye Color: Hazel, with a bead of green around her pupil. Hair Color: Chestnut, but it's not naturally that way. It's usually a lighter brown. Height: 5'7'' Weight: 171lbs Cup Size: D Cup, she's much more proud of her thicc thighs though.  Other Features: Her bangs cover the front of her eyes for some reason, just like Bianca. She loves wearing croptops, especially ruffled ones. Things with detached sleeves and the like are also big with her. When she grins super hard (its common), her eyes almost seem to just disappear under her bangs. Always wears magentas and browns, basically looks like a walking Valentines Day card. She plays up her cute genki girl attitude for maximum attraction. Absolutely loves things with bows. Her style seems to be a mish-mash of super girly stuff and casual wear. Like she'll wear a tank top with a really frilly skirt, or a cashmere sweater with ballerina flats and tights and leotard. She has a massively varied outfit, and doesn't mind if she looks silly, she just enjoys feeling good in her outfits. She's also extremely proud of her figure, particularly her thighs and her abs and that's why she tends to wear outfits that show them off.

Overall Attitude: Esther is probably the "anti-Illia", a spunky girl who jumps into the fray no matter the concern. She's a hotheaded go-getter with a weirdly high amount of energy and a genuine passion for life. Which tends to mean doing very big and very dumb stunts to get the full enjoyment of the world. Esther is prone to pretty much showing up in whatever outfit she feels best in, even if it doesn't quite make sense for the occasion. This plays into the fact that she's rather...ill informed of how social norms are. Looking at how she acts, you'd think she came from a different country altogether. She's very in tune with her emotions, and wears them on her sleeve. This is what allows her to do her job so well, as she's the Architect of the Soul, coming up with the descriptions of the characters after Illustro creates them. Problems:I'm surprised I never drew an ahoge on her head, cause she's kiiiiiind of dumb. She's very much like a Labrador puppy. Cute and adorable, but also doesn't know her own strength, seems to have traded intelligence for friendliness points, and once she gets going with something, she will not stop...even if she's obviously wrong. She's also very forceful, and oblivious at times, so she has a habit of accidentally forcing people to do stuff, even if they reeeeeally don't want to by sheer force of will and encouragement. She also unintentionally limits herself because of her single minded approach to things. For example, her powerset is actually extremely vast and varied due to her realm of influence...but because she REALLY likes the ocean and the sea, she really only utilizes abilities from that area.  Phobias: Surprisingly, for her go getter attitude, she has a big fear of needles and underground places. So caves are especially terrifying to her. Style and Mannerisms: Easily flips back and forth between speaking rapid fire Tagalog and English. Her accent is noticably aussie though, and she doesn't give a damn if you can't understand the terms she uses. If you aren't bilingual, it'll be almost impossible to keep up with anything she says. She's very touchy, and she'll absolutely embrace anyone in a massive hug (she's also surprisingly strong.) Usually can be seen rocking back and forth on her heels, as she's not a big fan of standing still. She's remarkably fast, and has in fact done the "naruto run" at least a few times in her life. She's definitely big on memes, and if you pay attention to the backgrounds of certain comics, she will absolutely be cameoing somehow doing some sort of meme. Always at the front of the line if walking with a group, chastising everyone fore being too slow. She has an aversion to nicknames, though is a bit hypocritical since she uses them on others repeatedly.

Relationships: She tries so hard here, but ultimately her luck with people just isn't good enough. She tends to either intimidate or scare off potential love interests. Illustro likes to tease her about it. In fact, the two share a very sibling like relationship, with all the ups and downs.  Likes: Travelling, exploring world cultures is one of her weak points, and if she's in a country, she will absolutely get absorbed into it, picking up the fashion, food, mannerisms, and etc in less than a week. She's like a chameleon, it's actually really impressive. She's also big on composing music, although she's still learning the ropes in that regard. Movies are her bread and butter, and she will obsess over film and cinema history.  Moral Alignment: Chaotic Good.

Powers: Serif-im is exceptionally sharp and precise. They blade never dulls, but more importantly, she can look into her enemies history, personality, and etc and just...rewrite it. Rohan Kishibe style. She's really skilled with the sword too, giving it properties if she can write about it on any surface. Sound effects come to life as well. She also has access to the entire spectrum of flora and fauna to fight on her behalf, alongside bestowing their abilities onto herself.  Weaknesses: She unintentionally limits herself due to her hyperfixations. Tunnel vision is a surprisingly common problem for her, and it takes DRASTIC measures and situations to shake her out of her mindset. Also, as the avatar of life, anything antithetical to it affects her hard, so necromancy and the like tend to make her queasy.

Favorites: Color: Magenta, maroon, scarlet, light pink, and chocolate. Animal: Sheep, seals, pretty much every sea creature at all.  Places: Pshh, try places she doesn't like for a shorter list. Food: Meatloaf and Strawberry flavored sodas. Media: Film

Songs Associated with Her: www.youtube.com/watch?v=jX9KYx… "Groove Is In The Heart Vs. Le Freak" DJ Hero 2 www.youtube.com/watch?v=hoWyne… "K2G" Hi Hi Puffy Ami Yumi www.youtube.com/watch?v=voMXqN… "Bomb Rush Blush (Smash Mix)" Tomoya Ohtani

Possible Voice Actress: Christine Marie Cabanos, mainly because she's got the spunk with Filia in Skullgirls, SquidGirl in...the show of the same name, and other roles. But honestly, I can just sorta see her voice coming from Esther's looks alone, but maybe find some way to throw in that spanish accent and some rapidfire bilingual confusion~

[kindestegg]

Heya! I'm curious to hear your opinion on the last episode in general, I don't think you've said much from what I've seen. Mainly on Collie and stuff, and especially what you think about them going away in the end there. Are you perhaps planning to write a post on that or anything? I just like your takes on things so I'm curious

... can I say something? It makes me stupidly emotional in a positive way that so many people have been showing interest in my opinions and thoughts about toh and collector. I knew my posts on them had gotten somewhat popular, but it genuinely surprises seeing how many people seem to think of me and want to hear what I have to say! You guys are too incredibly sweet and I just want to thank you!

This got... pretty long since I assumed you wanted an overall rundown of my thoughts on the episode not just focused on colly so uhhh... tagging it as long post.

As for my general thoughts on the episode... they are... uhhh A LOT of ohhhhh that's so cool ohhh that's so awesome... it was genuinely just a very fun high spirits episode for me, I was surprised seeing how easily colly was swayed and how willing he was to try and be friends... he is truly a very kind being! How strong raine was to push belos out and keep going, their ingenuity as well with all their movements!! They're so cool... the way they confirmed my suspicion that Collector really loves titans and knows a lot about their anatomy and culture!

I REALLY didn't think they were gonna do the Luz death fake out, that shocked me a lot since we already had a fake out with hunter, but now I'm starting to think they maybe did that to be a direct parallel to flapjack, as that one also featured the glowing lights rising. But then we met King's mom who is a total furbait for me so like!!! It's fine!!! Helloooo sexyyyyy!!!!!!! I love that they're genderfluid that got me so happy I love that he explains it by calling back to King's line about being queen and king that was already so damn transgender!!! I can't believe King is bigender just like her dad!!!

They have such good vibes anyway so it was really nice seeing them. Ngl I was kind of against seeing the titan again bc it was made such a point he was gone and we should mourn them, but she did kinda... die right after anyway so it's fine, and also again she is so cool it's kind of hard to not want him to have shown up. I love hiiiim. And then for that matter. Their conversation was so sweet and I love how it puts emphasis on two core themes of the series: the leftist sentiment of it being severely more important to fight to protect others genuinely from oppression and violence than to be respectable at those in power, and that Luz was never meant to be a chosen one, but she was a good kind person who deserved through her being there to be trusted. And is it not often just a matter of someone who is good choosing to do good when it counts?

I was a little sad that colly didn't get to do much fighting alongside the cast, but then again so didn't... most of the hexsquad! And his role was so important too, protecting everyone inside the Archives!! He is so very strong and i am so proud of him. Luzs titan form was so epic and her fight scene along with eda and King and eventually also raine was so cool!!!! And so was the scene with her just standing over belos... fuck yeah

I do not know if many more people noticed!! But the symbols around the titan as his spirit left luzs body were alchemical sun/gold symbols!! See!!! It's a titan symbol!! Also for that matter, the symbol on luzs chest on her titan design is the sun connected to the earth im pretty sure!! And i do love that King's dad said i love you with a bread pun but it is funny he almost... forgot to send any message lmao. It's okay though I'm sure she just wasn't prepared ♡

Ah and then the ending!! Was cute!! Personally I find the ending and epilogue pretty okay, I don't think it'll satisfy everyone of course, but I liked it well enough, everyone's endings felt nice. I HAVE actually spoken extensively (although more casually) about how I feel on Colly's fate, you can find that on my commander's answers tag as I responded to an anon on it, and I DO have a post about it planned but it will take... quite a long while to make, currently I am still laying down bullet points and I'm only to the second part of it and there are already four pages... uhm. Yeah. That and I'm starting to realize that it might make half the fandom want to crush me in a metal compactor. So thats fun. But well! I am committed to information above all!

Thank you again for the ask and for thinking of me!

[sopebubbles]

Did I start reading Bulletproof Heart and binge the first 25 parts instead of getting ready for work this morning? ..

Was I late to work this morning? ..

Did I continue to binge the rest of the series throughout the rest of my work shift? ..

Well none of that is here nor there, and it was genuinely worth it for the incredi le story that you have created!! I loved every single second of it.

The mc is amazing and so relatable. Hobi is such a gorgeous ray of sunshine. Kookie is adorable. Jimin and Tae had me cracking up every time they opened their mouths (or messages). Jin was so kind and sweet and I love him so much.

AND YOONGIS AND NAMJOONS ARCS ARE SO FUCKING INCREDIBLE. LIKE. Genuinely almost started crying during certain parts. AND THEM GETTING CAUGHT MAKING ON THE BLEACHERS (I like to imagine it was in the same spot Tae and mc made out on the bleachers at the very beginning) AND THEN GETTING IN A FIGHT. NAME A MORE ICONIC SHIP, ILL WAIT.

AND THE THREESOME 🫠🫠🫠 WITH JIN AND HOBI AND MC 🫠🫠🫠🫠 WAS ACTUALLY SO SWEET AND WHEN JIN AND HOBI GOT TOGETHER I MELTED INSIDE.

(Despite all of this. Jimin was probably my fave. There is just something about mischievous dirty minded kinda slutty (in a good way) jimin in smaus that will always get me 🤣)

Anyways, my work shift is over now and I need to do homework so I'm really glad I finished this first bc I Would Not be able to focus on school if I was still in the middle of reading.

And I love you k thx bye 😆👋🏻

Aaaaah when i tell you i was on the journey with you!! I always check in at various parts whenever people read bulletproof heart. I'm glad it got you through your shift cause work is wack.

Honestly, of all my smau characters, these babies might be the closest to my heart. I just want to take care of them so much. I think their characterization was very strong and I'm proud of that. I think this was actually the first smau i thought of even though i wrote it later. I still think about them a lot.

I was asking myself why i wrote a third arc, like was it necessary? But i think a lot of the reason was for Yoongi to get his redemption and for everyone to come together. Namgi forever. They're so cute.

Tae and jimin are an absolute delight. Im glad you enjoyed their nonsense. I think when they pick up yn to go to the party is so fun to me bc they try to act like they're so cool when they're just a couple dweebs. Really makes me think of debut vmin. Gosh i love them. This au is so precious to me.

Thank you so much for liking every post, reblogging, and sending me this beautiful ask. I love getting to revisit old works and getting to talk to lovely people like yourself 💜

Arulia...

So there is significantly less to cover and go over with Arulia than Em so we will be starting with her!

Arulia was originally designed to be a romanceable charcter for a scrapped project from around 2017. She was victorian-ish, Jane Austen vibey situation. Think Elizabeth Bennet at the end of the Pride and Prejudice (2005) in terms of hairstyle and mannerism.

This is one of two sketches I have remaining of this Arulia design. Unfortunately, lots of moving and accidental throwing away of documents has nearly caused this version and design to be lost.

After the scrapping of the project she was originally designed for, I took full possession of her character and pretty much overhauled her design (with a few exceptions).

At the time of taking back control of Arulia, I may or may not have been carzy obsessed with the romance visual novel app The Arcana. So there were, and still are, heavy style influences. Not saying I have banished The Arcana from my life lol (Asra is still and will always be my favorite).

I'll do some comparing and contrasting of the personalities after I get through the designs.

I thought, at the time of Arulia's redesign, it would be fun to use her as the MC for the story. It was fun! But much later it didnt quite feel right.

Arulia's new design was COMPLETELY different from her original concepts. Im talking wildly long hair, harem pants, puffy snow white-like sleeves, a skirt AND a sash, and some hair accessories! Because WHY NOT.

To be completely honest, at the time I was extremely proud of this. A lot of it doesn't make sense, the face shape was wrong, and she looked a lot younger than she actualy is. For some reason though, I still loved this design.

Also I had been exploring new art sytles that really didn't work well with this character.

I mean... to me this was PERFECT. Intil it wasn't. I actually don't think this design lasted the year.

There was too much and not enough happening at the same time. Because of that, I took to reworking the outfit, keeping the things I like and though suited her quite well, went back to her original face shape and picked things from her original design that just made sense to keep.

I think this is much more suited for my girl. It fits a little better with the character I created around her, and she fit pretty ok into the Arcana world.

My favorite parts of this outfit quickly grew Arulia to be my most drawn character. The shirt sleeves, the hair style, the massive earrings, and the simple patterns on her top.

This is the design that eventually got some offical color to it, but I was new to digital art and brand spaking new to procreate so a lot of mistakes were made.

I still think she cute though. Also, yes I borrowed a pose to help visualize how clothing would sit on her body.

I did spend a couple of years just skatching and drawing Arulia on paper though. My art journal from last year and the year before have almost every page with atleast one Arulia on it.

She consumed my every drawing hour. Not by force, because I begged her to.

I think a few months after I setteld on this outfit and look, I explored a couple other options too. What if she had these pants? What it her hair was different? What if she danced?

Had some really cute concepts of that! But nothing really stuck (look out for the pictures when they're found).

I settled on her more simple design because it was easy to draw repeatedly, easy for others draw, and kinda iconic. I had a few people telling me they haddn't see something like Arulia before and quite liked the concept.

That encouraged me to use her as the face of my streaming content until it didn't. More on that for a later time.

For now this is all I have to share, but Arulia, BY FAR, had the most doodles, drawings, and sketches, so look forawrd to seeing more of those.
