#this hyperfixation is getting out of hand

[hermithermithermit]

Adding onto this in the visual art department; this is coming from a fellow non-talented artist. It's very hard for me to actually practice drawing enough to become "good" at it, my style is nonexistent and all the pieces I've made are in a blurry hyperfixated state (that said, I'm still very proud of when I can pull myself together to make a full piece).

I would never support AI art, because I genuinely admire people who are far better than I am.

Am I sometimes jealous? Yes, and completely irrationally. My inability to buckle down and suffer through that awkward phase is my problem and mine alone. But AI art spits and shits on the work of truly wonderful artists. If you have the ability to do art, either work and suffer and get better by yourself, listen to your peers and mentors, and figure out a method for yourself, or just don't do it. Visual art isn't the right medium of expression for everyone. If you're a hobbyist, it looks like shit, and you don't want to show it to anyone, THAT'S ALRIGHT. If you do want to show it to people, THAT'S ALRIGHT. If you've found your style but you can't quite gets clothes or side portraits or eyes or hands right, THAT'S ALRIGHT. You are allowed to be awkward in your artistic expression.

Just don't throw a tantrum, plunk your pencil onto the floor, and go to your uwu ChatGPT-senpai to get it to do it for you. You're allowed to be awkward in art. You're not allowed to give up and resort to theft and disrespect when you've barely tried.

could you do a romantic idia shroud hc thingy just about him listening to a reader who infodumps abt original characters/hyperfixations a lot? sorry if this is too specific!

AHHH… IVE HAD THIS IDEA FOR SO LONG BUT NEVER WROTE IT BC I THOUGHT MY AUDIENCE WOULD HATE IT!! 💕

pairings: Idia x Reader

Earlier stages of relationship implied

Have a good read 🌺

Idia is not one to judge, as he’ll also exchange his opinion if he knows of what you’re talking about. But even then, he would be a listener and nod along, the two of you exchanging information like greedy hamsters. The cool air of Idia’s room was rather relaxing as you sat on the bed whilst he was playing his game with ‘muscle red’. But getting bored wasn’t anyone’s favorite activity. In fact, it was your absolute dreadful nightmare, and while watching India play was fun.. it got boring after hours of not having his full attention. So when the next match came, you snatched the controller from his pale palms.

“okay, now it’s my turn to have fun!”

You declared as he stuttered and reached for the controller with shaky hands. But you swatted his hand away, as you used the controller to pull up your favorite show. The first episode playing as Idia sat beside you, hands playing with the sleeves of his Ignihyde hoodie. But as the second episode started to roll, you started to explain why it was so important that the main character is the way that they are.

Going all in on the lore and main message that the show meant to get across. Hands doing motions as you gesture and pull up evidence from your phone. His eyes widened ever so slightly as you mentioned something that referenced towards his favorite franchise. The two of you spending the rest of the night nerding out for similarities and differences between each other’s favorite franchise’s.

💕💕💕

A/N: sorry if it’s short, I have trouble understanding Idias character sometimes :( 🌺

Now since he is autistic in this au too. I am very curious what his hyperfixations/special interest are. Like for Venomous it is definitely octopuses i think. Lazer tho, that has me curious, and does he do any stims? I am so curious and would like to see how happy and unmasked he gets, please do so whenever you can.

He, like his son, is VERY interested in heroism. When he first met Dr. Greyman he practically threw the poor alien around while shaking his hand. This has also led him to collect pow cards, as a way to keep up with various heroes big and small.

Asking him about an obscure phase in a heros life, or their arch nemesis will quickly get him to infodump about their backstory, various costumes, etc

As an adult, he's become a lot more- relaxed on keeping perfectly up to date with everything. Though not to say he doesn't keep an ear out for changes in the hero-sphere. And he still collects pow cards too, often reminding K.O. that every hero is someone's hero. After all, even level zeros have to do something to get a card.

He's also used this to help make himself more interested in his job. Learning how to do different fighting styles and techniques beyond his usual brawler moves, not only helping him stay well-off in battle but allowing him to help other heroes train properly.

Typically when he's unmasked, he has a very neutral face, only really looking visibly extra ot excited when he's talking about his hyperfixations. Meaning he's usually pretty excited at the dojo, before flopping face first onto the couch as soon as he gets home.

He's always had a good collection of stims, some more situational than others

He'll pick at and mess with his gloves whenever, but especially when he's nervous. Enjoys rolling the stick of his suckers as a little fidget, especially between his tooth gap. He likes feeling his hair move and will randomly flip his bangs around just to do so in what Silverspark used to call his "Model moments", and finally whenever checking out of a conversation, either physically because it ended, or emotionally, or just because he finds it too awkward, he'll start backing away, click his tongue (thing the noise he makes to foxtail in Let's get shadowy as they leave) and give a two-fingered salute, usually half raised, but closer to his actual forehead depending on the situation.

And don't worry, Taser has some as well!

Aside from a more angsty version of Laser's model moments that he mainly does when he's bored/annoyed with someone, he likes poking and prodding at his spikes for tiny controlled pains, finding the sensation nice, especially with the cold metal of them, and when he's stressed, angry or anxious, he'll rub or touch or just generally mess with his cuffs.

Also, this isn't a stim, but he is the type to pick his nose and flick the result at you if he's really tired of you, then laugh as you freak out in disgust.

[doubledeadstudio]

Are any of the RO'S sensitive to touch? Do they have any specific spots that are extra sensitive, like their spine, neck, abs, or something like that? I'm especially curious about Black—both before he became a zombie and now that he is one. And about Vicenzo, does the sensation in his right hand feel different compared to his normal one?

Second question: do any of them actually like having their hair pulled? Because I get the feeling our golden curls boy would probably rip our head off first.

Third question! Sorry for all the silly questions lol. What would they think of an MC who has the habit of biting—either out of anxiety or affection? Like, imagine MC suddenly reaches out and grabs Crux’s hand and BAM! full-on bite action. BUT not to the point of drawing blood… well, almost—but not really. Just leaving a nice little imprint of their teeth on his skin, and that’s it.

Btw, I love RH! I've already done all three routes and I still have so many options left to explore, which is awesome. I can’t wait to see Chapter Two, but for now, I’ll be busy drawing these pixels that have become my new hyperfixation.

Thank you so much!! And this ask is so fun, let's see...

I can imagine Crux having sensitive ears, Vin having a sensitive neck, and Black with a sensitive spine. Vin's eldritch arm feels brittle, like sandpaper or rocks/crystals that have rough surfaces. He can't process sensation on that hand, so he uses his human arm as his vehicle to connect with the world. (I think there's an interesting bit about how his dominant hand is used for cruelty, while his inexperienced hand is for touch, tenderness.)

They all like getting their hair pulled. Vin prefers it only in a sexual context.

HAHAHA... Black would be like -_- okay, this is happening out, just let it out. Crux would yelp if it's unprovoked, but egg MC on. Vin would be weird about it... he'd be like "yess, break my skin."

And thank you, anon! I'm currently 70-80% done with the next update ngl.

jason todd stares at people. whether it's consciously or not.

he does stares at people to intimidate them, get them to do what he wants, and reveal what they know. even when he wears the helmet, his stares are so intense that the thugs can feel it pierce through. it scares them even more to wonder how deadly his gaze must be without it.

he stares at his siblings too, to read them, to try to figure out if they are lying to him or not. dick is always uneasy under jason's scrutinising eyes and the depths of their green. jason almost always get what he wants out of a single stare with them.

yet, when it comes to you, it's often unconsciously that he stares. he often founds himself smitten by just the sight of you. the way you look at him always get him, and he cannot help but keep staring at you as the only thing ever.

you never feel uncomfortable under his gaze, though. the green of his eyes, a colour you've learnt to know, and started to fall for the second they landed on you.

you do, however, find yourself fidgeting and squirming when he consciously stares at you. as if he could read you, -he can. you could reveal your most embarrassing secrets for that stare of his. but unlike the thugs he deals with on a daily basis, his gaze his not deadly for you, but more fond. even when he is staring to catch your -whites- lies.

lying to him. as if he didn't know you. you would deny being in need of something, and he would just stare at you, the way his brow raise indicating the lack of anger, and more showing how he doesn't quite believe you. and God knows you would cave in -you always do-, not helping the small smile on your face as you dare look into his eyes, and just admit everything to him.

and oh, how he would smile at that. to know how much he is able to read your body language ? how much he is just able to get you ? he loves it. craves it even. and he loves to know you let him get you like that. that you willingly let yourself in the open for him, that you let him see you.

but more often than not, he just stares at you for the sake of it.

Ya got your hooks in me— @doriana-gray-games

So take some Amelia sketches. 💜

Sigh, to be a Victorian detective with a found family and lack of social skills—

Also those comments about the letter are entirely accurate to me man. I’m a sucker for that kinda shit.

You also get a lil Watson design as a treat. Decided to give him curly hair. Cuz he deserves it UwU

And of course a slightly altered Hamish design because why not?

[lemongogo]

anyways . silly thing

[warmfuzzyanimal]

with my move around the corner and life feeling sort of real again, i'm having Regular Thoughts about hobbies i've been meaning to revisit...

[ongeloof]

i haven't made art since 2016 but i've been trying to figure out how to use procreate since december, and sylus's smirk in the new card after he playfully bites at mc's hand is too cute. I sketched this to try out a new brush and to imagine him with proportions of a slightly more realistic guy instead of idealized slender pixel boy and voilà, art no one asked for

[ironsoftie]

Once Odysseus is back home. When everything's settled down and he's able to find some semblance of normalcy… Have you thought about how he fares back on Ithaca? Because I have. How some days are so light and easy yet others feel like trying to tread water in a storm-tossed sea.

Maybe you’ve thought of a moment where Odysseus and Telemachus are outside sparring, and Telemachus lands a really good hit? Odysseus laughs off Telemachus’s concerns, clutching his now bruised shoulder, and turns his head to joke that his son would be a better fighter than Eurylochus soon. Instead though, his words taper off and his eyes go slightly unfocused when he realizes the tall, broad-shouldered friend he half expected to see isn't standing there laughing along with him. Where for a split second, Odysseus could swear he smells acrid ozone despite the sky above them being clear and bright?

Or maybe it was a time when Odysseus had been walking with Penelope in one of the markets across Ithaca, only to catch a passing glimpse of a mop of chestnut-colored curls precariously held up by a red band ahead of him? When, for an unending second, his muscles lock in place and the air in his lungs freezes. That is, until the man in front of him turns his head and sorrow comes crashing back down into his bones like a rouge wave. It wasn't the warm and familiar smile of his dear friend Polites greeting him, but that of a stranger.

Maybe it was one of the times where Odysseus finds himself walking the halls of his palace aimlessly, and his eyes find one specific spot on the floor. The same spot where his mother, Anticlea, had once taken a very young Odysseus into her arms to comfort him after he’d taken an unfortunate tumble and broken the skin on the palms of his hands and knees. Stones that had been scrubbed clean of his blood then, only to have been stained afresh with the blood spilled from one of Penelope’s suitors upon his tumultuous return to Ithaca.

Perhaps there was even a time or two where Athena had begged Hypnos to help her friend rest easy after yet another night of Odysseus jolting awake with the same prayers for her aid stumbling their way off of his trembling lips. As if he was still trapped on that island. The island where his desperate prayers for her aid had been able to go no further from its pristine shores than he himself could.

Do you think Odysseus has moments where he cannot quite quell the discomfort in the disconnect of actually being safe and home within himself? After all, he'd argue, how could he when the loss of his men- his friends- still weigh on his mind and body like the Earth weighs on Atlas's shoulders. How could he while the parts of himself he lost, gave up, and had taken from him were scattered across caves, across the underworld, and across so many islands he could almost loose count if not for what had transpired on them? When, sometimes, he doesn’t quite feel fully himself, and wonders if perhaps he was starting to follow in his father’s footsteps.

Moments where everything weighs so heavily upon him that he feels as if all he can do is sit on his balcony and look out across the waves on the horizon. A sight that once brought him such comfort, now only acting as a reminder of what he had done and gone through while sailing its waters.

Or maybe you've thought of something else entirely. Of how Telemachus would fill the quiet that falls between them when his father’s gaze goes distant. Where he begins to share stories from his own childhood until Odysseus’s eyes are clear and focused raptly on him as he speaks so as to not miss a single moment of the tale?

Where all it takes Penelope's hand brushing his hair back from his face as she hums and holds him securely in her arms for the voices of those who aren't there anymore to gently fade to murmurs in the back of his mind? Where she weaves, and he sits nearby and works. Sometimes pausing just watching her hands dance skillfully across the loom, letting the rhythmic sounds relax him.

Where he finds himself tucking the hair behind her ear gently after catching Penelope staring at him as if she also couldn’t fully comprehend that he is back. Or maybe you’ve thought of times during meetings with visitors to their kingdom where he gets lost in thought so Penelope silently snakes her arm around his and clasps his hand in her own to bring him back to himself subtly enough so as to not alert their guests.

How Athena might sometimes fly past the couple's balcony after Odysseus has had a particularly rough day. Where, landing, she’d rest her wings and perch on the balcony’s hand rail just outside of their bedroom, clearly in his line of sight. And there she’d wait to hear Odysseus's sigh as he finally relaxes into the bed below him. How Athena, goddess of wisdom and war, would keep watch and ensure his family’s safety. He didn’t have to be on guard when he was attempting to try and rest. He could trust her to rouse him if he was needed. Of course, she would simply ensure he was never needed on those nights.

Or perhaps you've thought of the times where Odysseus can simply relax and laugh freely with his family. Where he looks at them and finds peace in their smiles and in the familiar halls and rooms of his palace. Where the sea breeze refreshes his mind as he walks around his island. Where he finds himself fondly remembering those that were lost on the journey home, and doesn’t find guilt smothering him for simply thinking of them. Where he stops questioning if this was yet another dream that he’d wake up from once he opened his eyes next.

Where he reaches out and cradles Penelope's face in his calloused and scarred hands, and the soft warmth of her skin and weight of her hands landing on his forearms to simply hold him back settles something fragile in him like balm on a burn he hadn’t known he’d received in the first place.

Maybe it was the first time Telemachus calls him father and Odysseus knows he means it and wasn’t just using the word as a formality. When Odysseus stops being the unreachable legend he was built up to be, and becomes a man and then a father in his son’s eyes.

Where he feels the familiar rush of Athena's approval in his mind after using a particularly good turn of phrase to secure more resources in a trade deal, and can finally accept that he actually has her blessing and favor again.

He doesn't forget all the bad that has happened, but he finds ways to live more in the present than the past that sometimes haunts him.

He struggles. Of course he does. There’s so much that he still deals with; but having Penelope, Telemachus, and Athena around is enough to get through even the worst of days. Healing is slow, yes. But he heals all the same. They all do.

[mystycalypso]

do u ever pray u lived in an au where the show wasnt cancelled.... i wish theyd made season 3 according to their original plans then just went on hiatus until that company merger or w/e was done n they had money for s4 </3

Okay so, I was going to draw some- very fruity Laserblast art ngl, but this ask hit me enough I sat down, and opened my laptop to write a real response. I've also got the series on in the background. I started episode 1 when I began typing, and we'll see how far I am in the series before I finish typing it.

First of all, I love using au to refer to real life, honestly better than various timelines. And secondly

Absolutely. Every day of my life. Every time I draw one of the characters, or see fanart, or hear the VAs or- anything. Because- I'm insanely hyperfixated on this show. A disgusting amount, unhealthily. It's not normal lol.

And I do constantly think about what could have been, I mean, after all once again my favorite character is Laserblast of all things. Not Venomous, Laserblast. The version of that man that has like five minutes of screen time and no canon first name. So much so that when on the Saberspark Q&A when he came up in a question for quote "Me and the three other Laserblast fans" I cheered out loud, alone, in my apartment. I would have killed to not have to pull at removing his mask myself and Ian's one tweet calling him a himbo to show people characterization.

And honestly the wiki makes it all worse, in a loving way. What do you mean we were going to get multiple sitcom comfy style episodes where K.O. spends the weekend with his dad? I could've had more proof that Venomous isn't an abusive dad, just an unskilled and undisciplined one? I COULD'VE HAD AN EASIER TIME SEPERATING HIM AND SHADOWY TO OTHERS?!

And sure, I constantly wish that somehow someway I'll wake up and Ian will have announced the movie, the Hue Troop spin off, post finale storylines, the works.

But, on the other hand, here's why I'm grateful for what we did end up getting (this will probably be the longer section, sorrey)

tldwr (Too long don't wanna read): Cartoon Network is dead and pathetic and I don't wish that suffering upon this wonderful show.

So, something you guys can also notice from Ian's posts and the wiki, and just from what the cartoon industry is like in general, that getting what you want out of your series, storyline and representation wise and all that is actually pulling teeth.

For an example of later episodes, things like a seemingly Radmond episode getting changed to rad and mikayla. Or Voxman having to be pretty heavily censored (although I'm proud of the subtext they managed so heavily) which is partially because, and this isn't to take away from wlw rep and how hard it is to get on air, but is more difficult to get outright mlm representation simply because- it's harder to censor.

After all, it's much easier to pull a "they're just close friends!" Thing for two fem presenting characters, than it is for two masc ones. It sucks and they shouldn't have to be censored across different countries at all, but it's just- how it is.

Which is why, realistically, as cool as the movie centering around a voxman wedding would be incredible, I don't think it would've made it past S&P. Not to mention, even if it somehow did, It'd either suffer the fate of being a TV movie, getting limited as hell views, OR best worst case scenario, a box office release which would get hate bombed by people for it's- everything. Because people suck. I mean, even not counting homophobic people there's a disturbingly high chunk of this fandom that hates Voxman- because... *checks wiki* Oh yeah, "Evil people not being perfect good guys = bad representation"

Also, cartoon network was- already starting to die by now, with less funding each year in the first place. Meaning we don't know if it getting that funding was even an option as time went on. And the idea of getting a longer season three, with the reveal being drawn out another season like they wanted, and then potentially never getting closure on- any of it? That's horrible even to think about.

Sure, the entirety of season 3 was rushed as hell. And I cry about all the missing stuff we'll probably never get, because well there's not even a cartoon network building to make this stuff in anymore, I'm glad that we have a finished storyline and understanding of where arcs would've gone to fill in things ourselves. I mean, getting to look into and imagine all the things we didn't get to see is much more fun than theorizing on an unfinished story.

So, yeah, I do wish that somehow, someway, we will get more someday. I'm at least glad we got a finished storyline and an ending that, while rushed, is still one of my favorites. I love let's fight to the end so much, I love how much I hate shadowy figure, and I love that I can be here making content for you guys!

Well look at that, it only took me seven episodes to write this whole thing, and I get to end this rant knowing Raymond was on screen. That's cool.

i feel like im going insane

[rosaeh]

my jason todd's headcanons | II

biter with sharp canines !! like this man has fangs and it's both cute and hot.

wavy hair, but he doesnt define his curls much, he doesnt have time for that. and he has is helmet on almost all the time, so his hair end up flat sometimes lmao which makes the curls worse.

not that his hair isn't pretty but it could be better, you know ?

however he lets you define his curls when you both lay together, and your hands find their way in his hair —like it always does when your together. even lets you buy curls products. his hair is way better since you guys are together.

thoughts on tattoo and piercing : i saw someone saying it's like personalizing your character. but i feel like jason doesn't feel like he owns his body anymore. so it could both be a way to try and reconquer his body, or he wouldnt do it because there's no point.

either way i like sleeves tattoo probably (he would so let you color it). and i like tattoo that cover/follow the line of his autopsy scar like the all caste tattoo.

and piercing i like a few ones on the ears. and now that i think of it, a tongue piercing would be REAL hot. perhaps one on the brow too.

private but not secret relationship with jason todd.

jason with a picture of reader in his wallet. he is old fashioned like that.

and while on patrol, he tends to keep a picture of you in the pocket inside his jacket, near his heart. he claims it protect him. (he would definitely sit somewhere after a patrol, all beaten up, and he'd take out your picture, whispering a thanks for keeping me safe as if you were his own personal godess)

«I'm not a religious person, but I do sometimes think God made you for me.» - Normal People. (one of my fav quote !!)

like, come on, this man literally greet his bed, of course he speaks to a picture of you.

bonus point if you write a note at the back of the picture. makes this grown man melt.

and you do actually keep him safe, because every night he has to make sure he comes back to you.

speaking of ! he would literally crawl into bed with you. he'd discard his helmet and gear, letting them fall on the floor — he'll take care of it in the morning, all he wants for now is to hold you. if he's not too tired he'll take a quick shower before crawling into bed with you.

temple kisses, so that he can smell your shampoo. but honestly he just turns his head when holding you and reach to kiss without really carrying where it lands — you mouth, your hair...he loves it all anyway.

im 100% sure he gives you a little "trinket" to use as a keychain, and you like just have to press it if you're having trouble, and it'll send him your location. he'll be there in less than a minute top.
