#this is bc of the last character you drew and last game you played'' thing

[ripplefields]

what if we mixed warioware and splatoon ? i think it would look BANGIN !!!!!!!

[heybiji]

In reference to the last ask you posted! Do you mind going over your tips on role-playing as that active-type character and/or digging up the thread of conversation it seems the original asker was referring to? I'm so interested in your experience role-playing for both prep in possibly joining a game someday and also bc it sounds like such good character creation and general writing advice!!!! I tried checking you blog but didnt turn up anything that touched pn it more (No worries if not though!)

Sorry for this late response!

My advice is make characters that create opportunities for story.

Reacting to a story is fun! Reacting to a character is fun! But if you're always reacting then you're creating opportunity for other characters to react, so sometimes you gotta Act to let the other characters and the story React.

To do this, characters should all want something. And not something vague (like "to be happy"), it should be something more tangible, more specific, and everything else can stem from there. It'll guide your character naturally. It's their Motivation.

More under the cut (or skip to the end for more standard advice)

For example, my dnd character Dandelion wanted more than anything to go home. "Going home" meant a lot of things, yeah it means being happy, it means he wants to be with his family, it means he wants to be loved, it means he wants to feel safe, it means he wants to belong somewhere, but the tangible idea is "go home."

Because I knew this is what he wanted most of all it guided all his actions, and his actions for better or for worse all made sense because of it (and I made it clear that was what he wanted "on-screen" on multiple occasions). So anything that involved the idea of getting home would activate him, and he'd also deeply empathize with anyone and anything else away from home/away from family. Giving him one strong, clear motivation instantly made him an active participant in the story. This made him active with other characters too, any mention of home, any mention of family, any idea of not belonging, it drew him toward them.

(as a DM now this is also what I need more than anything, what's your hook? how can I tempt you? how can I make your character move forward? how can I make your character react? also characters that create opportunity for story take a LOT of work off the DM's shoulders in my experience, it shows you're engaged and it feels less like dragging a cat around on a leash haha like "are you enjoying this? do you want this? i don't know! please give me something!")

my more standard advice?

Be a good listener

Be present (in the moment)

Be curious

Be the biggest fan of all the characters

Put your story on-screen frequently, give people the opportunity to react to it and join in on it (this can be as simple as "my character's body language changes at the mention of 'home')

Create opportunities for the other characters to have their story on-screen (ask them questions! if you know what the character's buttons are and it makes sense in the moment, press them! listen to what they're saying, pay attention to what they're doing, and react to it)

Interact with the world! Interact with each other! And make these things mean something to your character!

Your character should make mistakes. Mistakes create opportunity for everyone.

If there's a genre, or theme, play toward them earnestly.

The more you RP, the better you'll get at it! It's a process and that's okay!

my little tip for knowing whether your character is Active vs Reactive: if the story were a musical, do they have an I Want song? do they have multiple moments for songs within the narrative? have they shared a duet with another character? do their songs change, evolve? songs happen for important moments in a musical so if you're not contributing to important moments, it may mean you're reacting more than you're acting. which is fine if you're playing a game solo and are granted access to the narrative by virtue of being the designated main character, but because RPing is collaborative storytelling, everyone should be doing their part!

i finally finished dos2.... thoughts ft. drawings + choice playthrough phone notes (spoilers obv)

my godwoken was an elf witch named allegory. he ended up as a necromancer/hydrosophist combo. blood damage + healing was a fun mix! odd contrasts <3

his backstory, 2 me, is that he was lost in a marshland as a little kid, and tir-cendelius saw the chance to keep him isolated (seeing off any potential rescuers, magically expanding the marshes every time he tried to trek out and leading him in circles) + raise the perfect tiny loyal godwoken for when The Time was Right. he let him out when he was an elf teen. t-c should have kept him longer because if anything it just made him weirder when he got reintegrated into society a couple decades later. F

what if your god grew you in a petri dish to [major game spoilers, redacted]. but you were a capricious little know it all with a jester's soul. what then

gorry took sebille, fane and ifan with him because i thought he would assemble a team of hot emos if given chance. this paid off + i love them all dearly

i wasn't expecting the origin characters i didn't take with me after act 1 to UP AND DIE. but it actually added a really good set of stakes. responsibility for ur actions. lohse yelled at me for leaving her to her fate and i felt SO bad. sorry miss thing

LOVED the worldbuilding....i was super familiar with 5e before i played bg3 so i sort of knew what was coming most of the time but for divinity i had to LEARN. super fun. 100% recommend

also i thought bg3 went in on the body horror but divinity was Something Else.

^ and then larian said okay that was fun what if we do it again. and made bg3. anyway

i was hideously bad at combat for ages until i listened to all the people on reddit chanting 'put points in warfare' and then it was much much much more doable lol

ngl i actually very much prefer dos2 to bg3. i loved loved loved bg3 but after like 4 playthroughs during various patch stages it was such a relief to play a game that's actually completed and won't eat my laptop for breakfast!!! first two bg3 files i had i couldn't make it to the lower city because the optimization on mac was so diabolical that it wouldn't actually play until after patch 5. dos2 lets me also have photoshop on my computer. and files that aren't bg related. miraculous

but even ignoring technical issues: from a story and world standpoint dos2 felt way more expansive and inventive. campy but also harrowing in a way that bg3 just didn't hit for me. i also genuinely enjoy being given a zillion pieces of almost overwhelming info and then sorting it out so i am biased. may expand on this at a later point and not under a mile long read more. moving on

romanced fane bc i loved his voice acting and i thought the culturally cannibalistic elf/the one guy with no flesh to eat bit was funny. jokes on me i fell in DEEP. u canonically have disappointing sex because hes simply made of bones without nerves and afterwards he takes notes. he calls u dear heart offhandedly in act 1 like it's nothing then goes right back to being aloof. how many more times does he have to tell you? he has business in the blackpits. he spends the whole game having an increasingly worse time. he's a loser. it's all his fault. he got me. he got me good. god damn

my game glitched (?) and even tho he rejected sebille (sorry baby) her and allegory still made out right before the big final choice. no option not to. then he had the expected epilogue with fane. poly ending canon enough for me!

also the music was bonkers good and the audio direction in that one battle in the final act? mwah. and dallis' va knocked it out of the entire park.

last thing here's a gorry i drew when i was still back in act 1. 180 hours ago. titled on my phone as 'praying at every altar so i always come out on top'

anyway if u made it this far: thank u. go get divinity: original sin 2 when it's next on sale. wise wise wise choice of £6.99 <3

[mattypattypinky]

Idk kinda very-VERY parasocial and crazy VENT

Ok 🤙🔙 is definitely like A main f/o rn but I don't think she's the main main, I always do this where I get super obsessed with a new character and then I claim they're surpassing 🌻💔 in terms of importance and I take my main f/o (🌻💔) for granted and then when I come back I realize I was being absolutely crazy btw NOT TO SOUND SUPER LIKE "OMG YANDERE KAWAII" BUT THIS VENT IS GONNA GET WEIRD AND DRAMATIC I'M SO SORRY

WDYM I was about to replace my main f/o w a girl I met like 6 months ago??? I'm freaking out a little at the concept of it idfk. Like 🌻💔 has been my main f/o since I was like 14, we've gone thru countless friendships and relationships and school together and hes even the only character I have ever gotten into and tried to shift for. Like he is more than just an f/o to me??? Idk like he got me through everything basically. He helped me through my anger issues and my depression after my mom died and all other things and here I am obsessing over other characters and claiming to be there biggest fan, like am I not his biggest fan anymore??? I can't be both

I cant be 🍇🧃 or 🤙🔙's biggest fan while also being 🌻💔's biggest fan because that insinuates I am not focusing enough on 🌻💔. Like my relationship with 🌻💔 isn't like my other f/os and I may claim the other f/os are as important or more during a silly phase or fixation on them but they're not. 🌻💔's grip on me had me so bad I was drawing him ON MY WALLS and ON MY BED in my dads house with sharpie, 🌻💔 had me in a grip so hard I was replaying his game daily just so hear him talk to me directly, because streamers or YouTube videos weren't enough of a fix for me because it didn't feel like he was talking directly to me, and the idea of him saying those things to other people who watch those YouTube videos or the people who played the game PISSED ME OFF.

He's the only f/o (besides 🤙🔙) WHERE I DON'T LIKE INTERACTING WITH FANS OF. I PHYSICALLY cannot handle it if you are a 🌻💔 fan and you talk to me for more than 5 minutes I start to get extremely sick and territorial, it's BAD. I HAD A MENTAL BREAKDOWN AND BROKE DOWN OVER SOME SPANISH TIKTOKER WHO DREW HERSELF WITH HIM EVEN THOUGH I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW HER LMAOOO

I told my now bf that he "didn't understand him correctly" and sent him a full page essay on why I didn't like his adaptation of him when I met him at like 17, (so much so that he did agree with me and change his opinions bc I cited scenes and dialogue but thats insanity & I'm EMBARRASSED of it)

I've told myself if I ever got the chance to get a tattoo my first tattoo would be something with him, whether a dialogue or a tat artwork of him

But I haven't thought hard about him in six months and that makes me sick I'm not devoted enough I'm not showing my dedication enough there's SOMEONE OUT THERE RIGHT NOW WITH FLOW.EYSGF SMTH SMTH AS THEIR TIKTOK @ (I blocked them) BUT WHAT. NO. NO NO NO NO NO

I had a breakdown last night and started BAWLING MY EYES OUT over the mere concept of it. That I'm not dedicated enough to him that I don't love him enough what if I'm not his biggest fan help I'm like still freaking out over it. I need to be his biggest fan no one can love him like I do no I can't I has me feeling like

[artnerd1123]

for the character asks- 3, 14, and 20 for beast >:]

ALL DA BEEF :elmofire:

Actually wait hang on, I’m gonna post a really old doodle from like 3 years ago. Which is also one of the first times I drew beast. Bc relevance

Anyway

3. What was the first thing you decided on, the character's name, appearance, personality or their role in the story?

Man we love this question don’t we :wheeze: who doesn’t love a good origin story tho???

The VERY first, though? That’s… hm…

I think she started with a concept. No name, no looks, just a concept. I wanted to build a character that fit a cool little exploit I found while playing the actual game! When u die to an enemy, u don’t automatically get sent back to the title screen. U have to actually progress the game dialogue to make the death stick. If u quit the game before progressing that dialogue, the game doesn’t register the battle as having happened at all! It just resets to the last point it had data saved. Which was right before u went into the (now non) lethal fight.

It also resets to the point u last fucked around in ur backpack, so if u happen to wanna play with ur hand before u dive back in, u do lose out on having the enemy’s first turn (and ur first rolls) predetermined.

That’s all game mechanics tho HDJSKS

Point is, I found this exploit and ended up using it massively to my advantage during gameplay- and I wanted to know what it would look like to have this actually be a playable character campaign!

So, sort of story role??? I guess??? Her appearance came directly after I decided to pursue the idea HJDSKSK

14. Do you have any quotes tied to the character, either from the story itself or from another source that fit them?

BOY DO I!!! AAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!

I think I’d be stuck here awhile just running in circles putting red string on a cork board trying to pick actual quotes from the story that pin her down the best X] so I’ll go for more general stuff!!!

Not so much a quote, but the word ‘monster’ and what people define it as is extremely relevant to her entire arc. A monster is something terrible and unloveable. It’s a label that was thrust on her, but that she’s also embraced- to the point of her own detriment. Her story isn’t so much learning that she isn’t a monster, but rather, she wasn’t the kind of monster others made her out to be. Monsters deserve love too. She’s not uniquely horrible, nor does anyone deserve to be treated that way for just existing.

As for actual quotes, lemme snag a quick handful of songs off her playlist!!! That’s the REAL inspo jackpot for me- gotta get them tunes n vibes right >:3

These are some of the songs that first went on her playlist!

Follow You - Bring Me The Horizon

Monster - Imagine Dragons

Hayloft II - Mother Mother

What The Hell - Avril Lavigne

Whattaya Want From Me - Adam Lambert

Sober - Pink

20. Bonus question: share any additional thoughts, art, favourite scenes, anything you've been waiting for a chance to ramble about

Taking this as a free pass to share a handful of random beast centric memes + doodles from the past few months of my camera roll, thank u and goodbye

Hola! Amo como dibujas, si no te molesta puedo preguntar si tienes algunos headcanon de Clone high. Es que no he visto por otros lugares headcanon de esta serie.

✨✨✨

gracias por tus amables palabras ♡!! Y por supuesto, no me importa compartir mi headcanon sobre estas tonterías. De hecho, agradezco que preguntes, aunque podría escribirlas en inglés porque mi español no es el mejor, así que espero que no te importe.

So let's begin with the headcanons (i might update this post from time to time)

•mr.b is everyone's therapist.

• joan talks to jesús about her clone mother and gets things off her chest with him, so yea they besties.

• Joan was both celo and jfk bi awakening.

•abe float through the air when he smells pie.

•confucius the type of friend to record the whole fight.

• topher yells at kids while playing video games.

• like one of my last posts I'd like to think that Vincent likes to practice facepainting on Julius's face bc he drew one time on his face in a sleepover and Julius thought the drawing was good and told him to practice more on it.

• jesús gets bushed into pool (or lakes) by others several times just to see if he can walk on water like his clone father.

• topher the type of guy to say " i wasn't even playing." When he gets caught in hide and seek.

• Frida and Vincent are drawing buddies + as an artist i think they would draw/Paint their crushs (especially frida with cleo).

• Catherine and Julius are still friends after breaking up.

• abe "accidentally" calls any short person he hangs out with 'Gandhi' and immediately apologize about it.

• jfk is the type of person to say "well well well, what do we have here?".

•celo and Gandhi are the type of siblings to be "get out of my room!!" And gandhi standing right outside says "im not even in your room"

•confucius love language is giving gifts especially expensive ones.

• Harriet dyed her hair pink so she can match with confucius's blue hair.

• celo tries her lipstick on fridas face.

• jesús and Julius lifts Vincent so they can talk to him and hear him clearly/ or lift him to reach to things he wants but out of his reach.

• Julius and Vincent start dating eachother in season 2 because they promised they'd do it if they were 30 and still single, which they technically were, but eventually they actually quite liked the idea of it, and also Vincent and anne boelynn looks like a cute couple as well. Vincent has TWO HANDS.

And btw I'm a multi-shipper so if you see ship a character with another and in the next I ship them with another please don't get mad at me for it.

well that's all for now ig but thanks again for your questions pal♡!!

[silenthillmutual]

3 & 18 for Alfred the Executioner, 24 & 25 for Artemy Burakh, and 10 & 48 for Heather Mason!

alfred<3

3. What first drew you to this character?

this is such a fun question for me because i've been asked this once or twice. i genuinely have no idea! i started playing bloodborne in like. uhm. 2022, i think? and i'd gotten far enough in the game to meet him. but i generally didn't think a whole lot about bloodborne at the time because so much else was going on in my life. i couldn't even tell you when or why my brain decided to fixate on bloodborne, much less on alfred. i just kind of woke up one day and my brain was like "yes alfred my best friend alfred!"

if i'm going to hazard a guess, i'd say it's because he's fucking crazy. i love it when a guy (or gal tbh) is covered in blood and laughing like a maniac. i am also admittedly quite fond of the voice acting. i wish all the characters in bloodborne got more screentime, but at the same time i think everyone does a great job with what they're given. the absolute snide turn in his voice when you give him the cainhurst summons is just so good.

18. Do you prefer to see this character suffer or know peace? Angst or comfort? Both?

SUFFER, BLONDE BOY!

i have a whole thing planned out of how i'll get him to interact w my oc and all but the peace lasts for... i don't know. a couple hours? maybe? the rest of it he is suffering. his natural state. even when i take him out and dust him off and put in him pathologic he is suffering. but that's bc i see him as someone who hasn't quite figured out yet that you're not meant to hinge your entire existence on a singular thing: a person, a goal, a label, an ideal. i don't know how to better explain it other than that i think he's got many things wrong with him and can't/won't look inward, but that's not something anyone else can make him do, so it doesn't particularly matter where he is. he's going to continue to suffer.

artemy<3

24. Do you ever dream about this character? If so, describe a dream you once had about them.

i have had dreams about artemy in the past but i cannot for the life of me remember what happened in them! my dreams typically aren't all that memorable unless they're really, really bad. i haven't had one with him in it recently, though i think the first time i had artemy show up in a dream, i was daniil.

25. What kind of fan-fiction do you read about this character? If you don’t read fan-fics about them, why not?

i went through a period where i was trying to read absolutely every pathologic fanfic. i got caught up a couple years ago, and then life caught up with me and i haven't really gotten back to the mines in that sense. now i tend to prioritize what my friends write before reading anything else... but i do like to read gen fic about artemy that focuses on him actually struggling with the outcome of the game. and i feel like this is sort of a rare thing to find. i'd be happy with reading a burakhovsky fic like this if, you know, more of them existed? because so many fics make it The Dankovsky Show. and i get that daniil is a very interesting and important character, but so is artemy! people tend to write artemy as being endlessly understanding and kind, and artemy (in patho 2 at least) is relatively quick to forgive people who have wronged him, it just doesn't sit right with me that people make him a doormat. so i do still read fics where artemy is present, but i don't... go looking for them necessarily, because it doesn't feel like a lot of people treat him very fairly. he gets a better deal than clara, granted, but not by much.

heather<3

10. Do you see yourself in this character even without projecting?

hmmm... i think i probably saw myself in aspects of heather back when i was playing the game at like, 18 or 19 years old, but i think that was more with the heather we're presented in shattered memories, who is deeply hurt and grieving something she never got to have. it was something i could relate to, and the heather of silent hill 3 had something i never did, in having a loving father. i think i probably identified witht he rage she feels in the game, and the fear (since i was peak unmedicated for ocd, which itself is like being in a neverending hell) - but that was probably more of a 'heather lend me your strength' kind of way than in actually being able to see myself in her. though i did cosplay her!

48. What’s your favorite physical/design feature for this character?

i've always absolutely loved her outfit. i used to closet cosplay her all the time - my mother would never have let me bleach my hair, but i had the vest & the skirt & the boots. i actually always loved boots like that, though i don't have them anymore. i'm actually coming back around in the questions here - now that i'm older & harrier & fatter & vaguely more masculine, my cosplay lineup is looking more like travis grady (from silent hill: origins) and alfred.

honest fave character asks~

[fowl-leaf]

my 2023 summary of art!

Template:here

still not consistently posting anywhere, but I like doing these. they're fun there's a lot of things i would've liked to include but had to exclude, due to not being shareable on this account. maybe i'll have more stuff next year!

this is long, so details under the cut

JANUARY silly lizard oc i generally dont do much single line hatching, so it was nice to fiddle with it this time

FEBRUARY the wittle scrunkly lizard last time i drew this one, they were an lps shitpost, so its nice to like draw them normally lol

MARCH herman is running out of time glasses axolotl but make him neon idk

APRIL fancy calico i honestly dont know whats up with the clothes, i just kinda drew whatever tbh

MAY yippie!! toontown oc! was playing ttcc w/shard and co, this is the character i ended up making i also got covid around april-march iirc so i was feeling horrid for a while (and the remaining symptoms didnt clear up till like june)

JUNE an oc i got years ago but didnt have the confidence to draw for a while lmao anyways i like her colors and shape, she's fun

JULY mandatory artfight posting this was one of the last ones i did! ocs belong to��pookapooka and they were so fun to paint

idk if ill be doing artfight again tbh. ive been doing it consistently since sun vs moon but its honestly felt less fun ever since the tiktok invasion`and how ppls behavior has changed, and especially since the whole ownership thing that happened mid fight this year. (not interested in any of the alternatives ive seen either bc they have the same issues, notably worse issues, or are not furry friendly) but tbh that might just be me being disenchanted with online art spaces due to the intensifying shittification of basically everything, fucking rip

AUGUST ring but hes going to jail (again but for real this time) the staxie monthly prompt was barbie mugshots but i . . . i did this with ring and lumos and promptly forgor to do this with cakes and ale like i was planning to lmfao im actually gonna watch the barbie movie tonight, renting it so i can watch it on the big tv (didnt watch in theaters bc expensive (movie tickets are generally 15-25 bucks in my area (compared to the 5-10 in my aunt's area (renting is cheaper per person)), and they changed the chairs to these weird uncomfy pleather recliners that make my skin crawl to "justify the price raise" + i hate sitting for more than an hour i need water, bathroom, stretch, and snack breaks))

SEPTEMBER ganache went over the hedge was very busy w/projects so i did little casual art this was inspired by me comparing the over the hedge version of supermarket by ben folds (upbeat & high energy) vs the one by the clash (melancholy + commercial-induced agony) ever since then i cant stop thinking abt how much the lemon demon guy's voice sounds like the fucking clash guy sdjkhfkjsd also over the hedge was one of my favorite movies as a kid and i watched it at least 10 times before we had to return the dvd to netflix. i also regularly played the flash games on the site until i forgot about it after finding out about miniclip + notdoppler from other kids and decided to use those for flash games instead bc more options lol

OCTOBER dta img for a new oc i got, funny long neck budgie thingy busy w/projects again so little casual art had to use old mini tablet bc previous tablet was completely unusable fucking rip

NOVEMBER ganache + cactus pony, they want to know if you have any bubblegum. do you? busy w/projects again so little casual art doodle i made in heavypaint (one of the old layerless versions, i bought a lisence for it a while ago.) i got a new tablet on black friday since the mini tablet was horrible + my broken tablet was making me work very slow

DECEMBER ring in the void (this is lore accurate) or as nic put it, "fucked up twilight sparkle" lol busy w/projects + gifts so little casual art i actually sketched this w/the mini tablet, but didnt finish it up till getting the new tablet

---

for reading this far, you get to see amogus.

i would've put amogus whisper on the chart but decided against it since im not done with that one yet lmao

[alikestory]

okay. not sure it looks like a straight line between my last post about hazbin hotel and this but. it isn't. hold on i need to remember the name of this comic in order to justify my actions. :v

right it's sad girl space lizard if you read any of the words in this post let it be those

so i was reading that in the airport bc i have it on my phone and was like, it would be fun to draw smut in a cartoony style like that. (there's only one brief sex scene in that comic btw. let's set some expectations. :v )

which is. i think i mentioned that line of thinking before re: hazbin hotel but i don't remember specifically what i was saying about it. ANYWAY. the point of this post (all that was the prologue. "david foster wallace, WHERE is the sex???" we're getting there.) is that i have come up with a storyline for some angel/husk doujinshi which has almost no plot. shocking for me to have any idea without a long and convoluted plot attached to it. i even thought i should add one and then was like SHUT THE FUCK UP.

would i actually draw such a thing. well. let's look at the facts.

i don't draw in a cartoony style. not like i'm the master of Real Human Anatomy but i've gotten into drawfee lately and am an enjoyer of the running joke(?) in which julia cannot draw any cartoon character, which is funny because of how good she is at drawing generally. and i'm like. would that be me. oh my god WOULD THAT BE ME. i'd walk into the ocean never to be seen again. in general i hate drawing fanart bc i'm like. i can't make them hot enough. although (tangent) in 2019 and/or early 2020 (when we still had hope in our hearts) i started a tokyo babylon doujinshi that i stilllll want to one day finish (there's also a longer one that i had an outline written for that i really like) and i'm like. in general i like what i drew so far except I Could Make Seishirou So Much Hotter Now. u____u

this is all a lie. have i watched Masquerade more than ten times? YES. small tangent (i could go on a waaaaayy longer one you have no idea but i won't) CHARLIE IS SO FUCKING CUTE. back when i was in [hometown, redacted] we were watching some episodes in the background while playing board games and even though Z and Fox had been telling me about this show for ages actually seeing some of it is what finally got me to watch it. Specifically Charlie's song in the first episode (A Happy Day In Hell or w/e) because she's SOOO CUUUUTEEEEE. she's so precious ;___; and hopeless ;____; AND DOING HER BEST AND I LOVE HER SO MUUUUCHHHHH.

that wasn't what i was going to say. :v so i got. this job(?) i've been wanting for YEEEEEARSSSSSS. (shortbox comic fair) I CAN'T EVEN BELIEVE IT. HONESTLY. I FLUCTUATE WILDLY between being so hype and i SHOULD BE and i WANT TO BE and i really like the comic i'm doing for it. but it's so long and i have a couple other comic projects i've committed to and even if i hadn't

i won't have time to work on Blackout City until it's done

unimaginable levels of Homesick At Summercamp vibes from me. (i was thinking "wait isn't that the name of a song" and it's space camp and it's by fall out boy but that's NOT WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT)

I MISS MY BOYS SO MUCH AND I WANT TO DRAW SO I KEEP COMING UP WITH NEW PROJECTS BC I'M TOO UPSET TO WRITE THE NEXT CHAPTER AND I ALREADY HAVE THE NEXT THREE THUMBNAILED ALREADY AND I NEED TO MAKE A HIATUS POST BUT I JUST CAN'T BRING MYSELF TO POST IT

anyway should i draw angel and husk from hazbin hotel fucking

[foxssonicdoodles]

my art summary for this year! first time I’ve ever done one of these, and holy shit the improvement is a crazy looking at it like this

(more yapping (fucking. ESSAY) under the cut)

man. it’s been over a year since the sonic brainworms got me (started October of last year with the snapcube fandubs -> snapcube frontiers playthrough -> listening to the frontiers ost and falling in love with it) and. Man has it been fun!! I’ve found so much good new music, art, artists, writers, stories, etc., and becoming a fan right when all kinds of stuff was lined up for the year probably helped too.

I do think taking the plunge and trying to draw sonic characters has aided my love for the series too, since in previous fandoms I’ve been in I would be excited about them, but being able to create for it brings a whole new level to my enjoyment I think. and, of course, this brought me to making my OCs, my most beloved little guys who I’ve grown very attached to over the course of the year.

now, not to yap too much, but, about the art I chose for the summary!

January and February were actually kind of hard to pick for, since my program (sketchbook) doesn’t include dates for when you create a new drawing, so I mostly relied on dates in discord servers and on tumblr for when I posted things. Technically the January drawing was made in December of last year (bc I genuinely don’t remember what I drew in January), and the February one I can’t be sure when it was made, since it was never posted anywhere. I mostly just estimated, and ohhh god looking through my old art was an experience. seeing how I used to draw shadow was interesting (I used to give him what I referred to as ‘prime eyes’, or, the eyes on his sonic prime model, rather than his game model). I guess I had seen more sonic prime clips/screenshots then game ones, and that worked its way into how I drew shadow. I do still kinda like the drawing though, I still think it kinda holds up. Maybe I redraw it sometime. I don’t have much to say about the blaze doodle though, I think I’m just proud of myself for trying with the hands (as flat as they look).

march! That one was drawn for a friend, who I had gotten into the snapcube fandubs, of one of my favorite moments in the shadow ‘05 dub. I added more to it here, but this was the original, and again, it’s certainly not bad! For most of this year, when I drew, I hardly used references, but this was one of the times I did, and I certainly worked in my favor (you can tell I was too lazy to do the emeralds though).

April’s piece comes from a doodle page I did where I doodled while referencing screenshots from the unleashed opening cutscene (UNLEASHED OPENING MY BELOVED <3 <3) and that was my favorite of the poses I guess, so I added to it and made that little drawing! I vaguely tried at a background, but it doesn’t look like much.

while I still see lots of problems with May’s piece, it’s not bad. Perhaps even a step in the right direction /j. I found I showcase of a blender model and instantly downloaded blender and the model to play with it, and I took some screenshots of some of the poses I made and used one as a reference for this drawing. Proportions could definitely be better, as well as some small perspective things I notice now, but hey! I lined, colored, and shaded something, which isn’t something I do often, even now, despite what the last half of the year might make you believe.

Speaking of which, June’s piece is the only one of the refs I made for artfight this year of my OCs and fankids that I think still holds up! It’s not great, at least by my standards now, but the best of the bunch for sure. I rushed to make these late in June before artfight started, and while I had more OCs lined up (early concepts of characters like hooke, joule, and peten) I only had time for four (team Starfall + axel). Borealis has since gotten a cleaner redesign, but I don’t mind his old design either.

Then comes July, the month of artfight itself! out of the attacks I made, I figure the piece I made of emthimofnight’s stellar was the best of the bunch. I looked for refs of ice skaters to find a base to create this specific pose, and while the perspectives are okay, I like how I did the shoes the most. Normally shoes are tough for me, especially perspective-wise, so I’m glad with how I did here. Actually looking back at this piece is reminding me of my thick lineart era, in which I much preferred using thick lineart and couldn’t possibly see myself doing thin lineart (though my comparison in my head was mostly like. Anime-thin lineart so uh. Yeah). I’ve slowly gotten to do thinner lineart over time, but not crazy thin, and you can even see later in the year, with the art trades that I went back to thick lineart, just a little bit differently than before.

I drew a lot in august, perhaps some of the most I’ve drawn this year aside from in November (most of it hasn’t been posted online tho, only in discord servers). and I made much nicer stuff in November too, but I specifically chose this doodle because of what it means for my journey. This doodle was a pivotal point, in which I tried something new and fucking loved it. I loved the sketchy style, the rectangular eyes, the minimal outline on the muzzle. Idk why, it just stood out to me and I’ve been drawing sonic characters like that since.

Going into September, school started, so I had a lot less time to draw, but it’s been more towards the last couple of months where I’ve gotten really invested in my OCs and their stories, so I drew them a lot around this time. at one point, I drew this doodle of axel (which I actually can’t remember if I drew it that month or not, I think I might have though??), and looked at him for a moment. and around this same time I had been looking at the idw art book, and been reminded of surge’s concept designs, one of which had a similar quill style to axel, and a stripe running down the face. which got me thinking, “how would axel look with a stripe?” So i quickly made a couple of versions, and consulted one of the discord servers im in about it. Eventually it got down to a version with yellow stripes (my personal favorite) and one with blue stripes. Both looked good, but one person suggested using both, and either the same person or someone else suggested a fade, and so I made a couple versions of the fade using this same drawing as my base, and eventually found the one I liked, which is his current design. To date, I think this is one of my favorite drawings I’ve done of axel, idk why. It’s not the most polished, but I love it, that’s literally my guy right there. yknow?

October! octobers piece is an art trade I did with st4rrzyy (just never posted it) of their character Hannah the bat! it’s not the only art trade I did that month, but I think it’s my favorite of the two. I chose to make the cloak all flowy, and give the character a dynamic pose, which isn’t something I do often. I actually referenced some sonic channel art for this specific pose, one of cream! It’s nothing too crazy overall, but there were definitely some new things for me, especially in that I got the courage to show interest in an art trade, and did something fully finished.

November piece, November piece I love you (I have not posted it). This was from an art trade i did with m3tr0n0m333, of their character Charr the hedgehog! This time around, I opened art trades in one of the discord servers I’m in, since I was on break for thanksgiving, and want even sure I’d get any interest tbh, since I’m not a big artist whose stuff is amazing or smth. But! Talking about the art itself, I referenced another sonic channel art piece, the January calendar illustration of shadow and infinite as singers, and yoinked shadow’s pose to give to charr, I felt like it fit well with them. Once my sketch was done, I stopped for a moment, and wasn’t sure how I would do my lineart, before deciding fuck it we ball and trying out something new. And I ended up loving it. It feels like I’ve gone full circle, coming back to do thick lineart, just this time it was with a different brush instead of my usual pencil, and I loooove how it looks. I also went ahead and colored in some of the lineart too, not with the most rhyme or reason at first, but eventually following my lighting/shading, putting harsh white highlights in places I lit up, and using the same color of a given area on a hard light clipping layer in some shadowed parts. Definitely my best artwork of the year, for sure.

and then for December (which also hasn’t been posted), I don’t actually have much to say about, it’s very similar to November’s piece. I opened up art trades and traded with someone in one of the discord servers I’m in (I don’t know if they’re one tumblr so I don’t know their user/the character’s name, sorry). I referenced a screenshot I had saved of blaze from one of the Winter Olympics games, and decided I wanted to go the same route as the November piece for the lineart. There is one new thing, though, that I implemented. I tried something new with the inhibitors, as I haven’t really been the best with making things look shiny up until I did some doodles of shade and tried with with just a pencil, and really liked the results and decided to give it a go here. It’s a step in the right direction, I think, but there’s absolutely more work that could be done to improve this skill.

Oh god that was more rambling than I thought I’d do. shit. uhhhhh if somehow you’ve spent time reading all of this thank you! thank you for listening to my wild ramblings, I uh. I like yapping about how I make things. Happy new year, and here’s to hoping next year goes well!

[jils-things]

Idk if you ever mentioned it (or i was just not a follower back then) but how did you come across idv 💭 also tell me when/how you started to like freaky Campbell bc i like hearing those stories 👊

YAY LOREEEE YES YES OF COURSE i love telling stories as well so this is perfect HEHEHEHE (im v sorry this is so long. this is what 5 years does)

so i joined idv when it was still quite new! november 2018, i checked. my best friend (who is also a selfshipper here, just inactive atm) asked me one day if id like to play with her this game! she only got into it recently and wanted someone to play with so she thought of me. without much hesitation, i did (i was immediately convinced with the dbd styled gameplay) so ive been playing idv with her non stop (we even played together recently after i went back to it for norton hehe)

norton wasnt even there when i first joined! there used to be a small roster of survivor and hunters and i remember either she or i get leaks on new survivors and we talk about it! norton was the second "new" survivor at the time that i got introduced to, i think that was on march 19 (which is also his birthday). at first, i was simply excited to get new survivors so of course i was like "yay!! this prospector looks awesome!" (foreshadowing. /j). i think one of my initial thoughts of him was "dang, that is definitely a design i fuck with" (his miner's hat really gives a lot of character! i still believe that today).

i was pretty much neutral at first. i just go yay cool guy is here in the game lalala (same attitude when the other "new" survivor came out)

one day my friend was designing an oc to pair with a random character (i dont think it was a yume thing, she just wanted to ship with someone because why not) and i wanted to join her as well, that's when I conceptualized irene - she was initially a shell collector :D like my friend, i wanted to find a survivor to pair her up with and without hesitation I just went. yeah. norton . nortons the one (as i said, his design really resonated with me and imo he was like, one of the actually "good looking" survivors to me at the time. its hard to say that now because we have characters like luca, aesop, edgar, mike etc etc LMAO)

so i was like yeahh! irene x norton real :D at first it was just a very lighthearted thing for me to do (as in, i wasnt very. 'HES SO CUTE LALALA") but i think it was when i tried to google fanart of him to draw at the time - that's when i was like "ooh... he kinda cute tbh..." but mostly just kept it hidden

at that time, i didnt really accept being a yumejoshi yet - i was super casual abt it and didnt think much abt liking him (i thought he was just a handsome blorbo to me). also because i was very preoccupied shipping him with emma (whom i very much projected into hehehe)

so after some time this becomes an on and off thing where i like him, and then ignore. like him, then ignore. cue the dormant years

then timeskip to maybe like, my 1st year in the yumeblr community, i missed him and this time i was becoming more head over heels for him for a brief time so i drew him and irene (irene was still a shell collector there too.) it was short lived

then uhh, time skip to a little more recently last year -- fools gold was becoming a thing! I don't know fucking HOW, BUT THAT TRAILER/NEWS CAME INTO MY YOUTUBE TIMELINE EVEN IF I DID NOT... TOUCH IDV? AND, FUCKIN HELL, I THINK I BECAME A NEW PERSON THAT DAY 😭😭 LIKE SEEING FOOLS GOLD WAS A WHOLE ASS RESTART BUTTON BECAUSE SUDDENLY I WAS IMMEDIATELY DOWN HORRENDOUS

AND AFTER THAT, I JUST. BECAME. WHAT I AM RN. EXTREMELY GIDDY AND SILLY ABT THIS DUMB HOT ROCK FUCKER LMAOOO but again it didn't last long? (medium lived ...?) cuz of steven. but also my friends (yk the fuckplace server) were constantly teasing me abt norton in general at this point so i couldn't exactly get him off my radar but i kept quiet. its worth mentioning that irene was still a shell collector too but i was starting to debate whether i should redesign her or not

and then, skip to the present. what got me to like, really selfship with him and just fully commit to liking him for Months now even -- was because of the stageplay which my aforementioned friends kept encouraging me to check (and when stageplay norton came up. i basically had the same reaction w fools gold but more positively and more lovingly SKAKWKKASKA) and that's when i fully retconned irene's lore to really align with his lore.

its worth mentioning that during norton's early years in the idv community - we did not know his personality and lore. the only keyword we had was "gloomy" but that didnt stop me and my friend from misinterpreting his attitude to be friendly and goofy (and irene was... believe me or not. a fucking Hater.. he was the goofy. she was the Not goofy one. its scary to look back on). and im so serious when i say the fools gold trailer changed the whole game for me because thats when i actually KNOW: 1) his personality 2) his lore 3) he is not a goofy Guy and i revamped irene's entire lore to align with his - making her the rich happy girl to his poor emo boy

so yeah. Meta Constabell Lore /JJJJJ

[lemon-sugarcoats-nothing]

What inspired you to create Lemon?

🐝 - Oh boy, strap in bc Lemon Sugarcoat has a LONG history.

So for context, I was first introduced to MLP sometime in 3rd-4th grade, got obsessed, but by 8th grade i started pushing away from it. I thought my mlp phase was "cringe". Then i met the person behind @cinnavanillamelody , and they were super into MLP. At some point in 2019-2020, they made me a ponysona! I had one before that i abandoned, but they found one of those MLP name game things.

Thus, Meadow Moon was born. At least, their name was, their design didnt come until later. Mocha (🍫) sent me a drawing of Meadow Moon in a letter.

They redrew Meadow today, based on that old drawing! (Base credits: https://www.deviantart.com/mint-light/art/Base-94-788714769 https://www.deviantart.com/mint-light/art/Base-136-819482943 )

I drew them a few times, modifying their design, Here's one;

And I made them in ponytown! (Note that the wings in ponytown were just for convenience while playing the game)

Time passes, and I stop trying to be edgy irl, and I develop a sort of- attachment? to lemons. They became a source of joy, so i messed around with Meadow's colors, and renamed them to Lemon Sugar-Moon. (There may have been a name before this but I don't remember)

2nd image Features my guess at what Jaysir would look like *

3rd image features an earlier design of Cinna. Base credit: https://www.deviantart.com/drugzrbad/art/My-Little-Pony-Base-28-Ride-385100892

4th image is from ponytown

THEN, in another oc world separate from MLP, my oc got shifted around a bit to be Half phoenix, and then Mocha and i created a RP world for our other characters as ponies alongside our existing ponysonas. I wanted the phoenix thing to carry over and so they got swapped from unicorn, to Earth pony that became a pegasus after an experiment gone wrong:

image 1: there was a page of pony sketches posted to DA that i used as reference, but it looks like it's no longer on the website. OG poster did say using as a ref was okay in their post description.

Image 2: Jaysir attempt and Lemon and his future foal. I used a base again, https://www.deviantart.com/n0va-bases/art/Base-70-819007562

Image 3: Ponytown one last time

Then i realized their cutie mark was a bit off brand for an MLP cutie mark, and they became a blank flank.

Lastly last last, Mocha changed their blog to center around Cinna, and I thought that would be fun too. At the time I didnt post much, but had been meaning to. I wanted to rename my blog (it was something like- Lemon prince is not a bottom, i think-) but "Lemon Sugar-moon" didnt give very many good name options. So i renamed them to Lemon Sugarcoat, and made the blog name a pun!

Now might be a good time to mention again that Cinna and Lemon still have a collab blog, if you'd like to ask us both a question or send art for us both through that ask box instead! @ask-cinna-and-lemon

Thank you for your ask and I hope this is the kind of answer you were hoping for! -🐝

[superm4ks]

i am re reading ur old posts and the one where you talk about how sky dislikes max not because he beats lewis but because he put an end to """british dominance"" in the sport and how max is the opposite of the person they would have liked to be the replacement bc he isn't from a nice little family and won't bow down to them etc. i think also part of that is max's family IS allowed to talk back to everyone and give their opinions because of their past qualifications which means they can disagree loudly and publicly which feeds the cycle. jos very much chartered max's own path for him, which had the benefit or disadvantage (depending on how u see it) on max not having to rely on the media for anything and not playing along with them on anything.

That's true i c your point but I still don't think they ever made themselves any favors, past qualifications or not. Like Jos wasn't 'allowed' to say or do things because he was a former f1 driver, we're not really talking about a Schumacher type of surname here. I don't think Max represents a dynasty or that anybody has ever seen his career that way. I agree with u that Max was never put in a position where he had to 'play' the media game but that kind of circles back to my initial point ig?? Like he didn't have to rely on that because he was Max Verstappen and he was a dutch child driving an f1 car. He wasnt some polite oy mista climbing his way up the ranks and humbly appreciating every opportunity thrown his way. Helmut was literally like ok I'm gonna put this child in a single seater hes gonna win the wdc one day or whatvr yall can deal with that PERIOD. and everyone was like❓umm okay. Oh grandpa is serious 😐 Nobody knew how to tackle a character like Max and especially not a media establishment that was just starting to accommodate Lewis Hamilton as its hero. Which wasn't easy for them because Lew wasnt what they wanted either. They were fucking annoyed. And I mean annoyed. Like u watch early Max races and the tone of the commentary is jarring, even now. Lil bro was mocked and dismissed relentlessly, from the get go. And when they couldn’t dismiss him anymore they got even more annoyed. Like u said, I think its well put, it became a cycle. Rbr tried to shelter Max by refusing to engage, media use that gap in the narrative to build their own, Verstappen camp reacts, rinse and repeat. Last year u had something interesting happen, which was Ted getting a lil too bold and Max and rbr very pointedly telling him to tone it down . It wont change anything but at least it drew the lines in the sand yk.

7 & 9 for jace, jackal & athena 😈

let's comfort the children and then make them CRY. i tried to pick songs that i could see being in the fallout setting + characters listening to (the imagine dragons song passes bc its acoustic...)

7. a song lyric that would comfort them when they’re sad

Jace: The Little Green Valley - Marty Robbins

I hear a mockingbird down in the little green valley He's singing out a song of welcome just for me And someone waits by the garden gate Down in the little green valley When I get back again, how happy she will be

This song always makes Jace think of his home, where his mamá is waiting for his next visit with hot food and a warm hug.

Jackal: My Rifle, My Pony, and Me - Dean Martin

Purple light in the canyon That is where I long to be With my three good companions Just my rifle, pony, and me

Jackal is always happiest when they're hitting their road by saddle, whistling a tune with their rifle on their back.

Athena: Into Each Life Some Rain Must Fall - The Ink Spots

Into each life, some rain must fall Too much is falling in mine Into each heart, some tears must fall Someday the sun will shine

Athena has a lot of grief in her life, but this song reminds her that everything passes, and she should be grateful for the good parts. Rain is, quite literally, her favorite thing about coming out of the vault. (You mean it just comes from the sky...?!)

more under the cut :)

9. a song lyric to make them cry

Jace: I'm Going That Way - Emily Cross

I know I shall meet Him at the gate, when trials are past I know I shall meet Him face to face in glory at last And oh, I believe that when we meet “well done” He will say For trusting His soul-redeeming love, I’m going that way

Jace has... been through a lot. He's endured physical hardship, lost people close to him, and had his heart broken. I can absolutely see him breaking down while trying to sing this church hymn when he's going through it. The idea of eternal peace after so much hardship would almost be too much to bear.

Jackal: Release - Imagine Dragons

Petty lies to everyone In the hopes that I could be someone Heaven talks, but not to me And now I wonder if it's meant to be Desolation, tragedy Is there nothing good in me?

I drew some sketches of Jackal inspired by this forever ago. Jackal has a lot of self-doubt and struggles with imposter syndrome, believing at the worst of times that they worthless and undeserving of people's care. All alone, watching the sun rise, believing that it might be better if it didn't... some tears might fall.

Athena: The End of the World - Skeeter Davis

Why does my heart go on beating? Why do these eyes of mine cry? Don't they know it's the end of the world? It ended when you said, "Goodbye"

Athena cries an awful lot throughout the duration of Fallout 3. Losing her Dad to the Enclave and later getting kicking out of the vault by the girl she's in love with... let's just say it wouldn't be good if she heard this song play on the radio.

oc ask game: song lyric edition

[rhizomehaunt]

eeee thanks @yellghoul ily ˙ᵕ˙

1. picrew game

my hair is getting dangerously mullet-ish in the back (but not in the good kind of way) as I'm growing it out but this is pretty close. I live in soft and oversized clothes and especially a big black hoodie my girlfriend got from working on the set of POWER BOOK II: GHOST.

2. shuffle my on repeat playlist and post the first 10 tracks

1/ Too Close, Sir Chloe

2/ Flowers (Demo), Miley Cyrus

3/ Tisched Off, Bartees Strange

4/ Freakin’ Out on the Interstate, Briston Maroney

5/ To be honest, Christine and the Queens

6/ la chute (piano), Jean-Michel Blais

7/ Rät, Penelope Scott

8/ A Place To Lie, Art School Girlfriend

9/ Younger & Dumber, Indigo De Souza

10/ After The Earthquake, Alvvays

Honestly not a terrible overview of my listening habits, but there's definitely more classical that didn't make the cut asjsfhsfj.

3. this questionnaire:

Tea, coffee, or soda?

Coffee, black, several cups a day.

Dogs or cats?

cats always and forever <3

Can you play any instrument?

I haven't played piano in years but am hoping to get a keyboard and start again! I'm shit at sight reading but used to be good at chords and playing by ear. 

What's your sun sign?

gemini (chaos)

First song lyrics that pops into your head?

And you got a lot on your mind / And your heart, it looks just like mine / There's no use in wasting your time, anymore

Do you have any tattoos?

I have three and want many more. a tattoo of a drawing I did of the chair in my grandpa's studio on my wrist, an ambiguous flower and two hands clasped by it on my upper arm, and then a big warped text piece wrapped around my entire right thigh reading the sweeteness of you carrying yesterdays feelings to tomorrow beyond what i knew before

Favorite place you've travelled?

Paris, because I took myself there for three weeks as I was breaking up with a terrible ex, amid a complete collapse of everything, and it was the first time I left the country, first time in my entire life I wasn't scraping by, and I did it alone, on my own, and just read and walked the entire time. I became friends with the local orange seller by the apartment I stayed, got asked out at the Louvre by a chef from Argentina while I drew an old man who was drawing a painting who I later spoke to in broken French (and he clasped my hand and cheered me on), made a friend at a bookstore who was writing her masters thesis on the same author I wrote my undergrad thesis on and we ended up having lunch and she gave me some of her old books, and also started talking with another solo traveler from South Korea who's a brilliant artist and musician at Musée de l'Orangerie and we wandered around and then met up for lunch the next day and are still in touch. 

What's the last movie you've watched?

The Muse

What languages do you speak?

English and some very poor French

Do you have any hobbies?

I suppose baking?? It’s hard to distinguish what’s a hobby and what’s routine. I don’t really think of anything I do as a hobby any more, but that’s probably bc I’m always trying to do a million things. 

You can hang out with one fictional character for an hour, who do you choose?

Camilla Hect, beloved. 

these are always so fun, i'm tagging @zuko and @baezel2<3

[blackberry-gingham]

For the ask game… our boy toad?

Yes! Let's give him another go lol

Favorite thing

Another one for the personality aspect tbh. He's very shy most of the time, but he can be assertive when he wants to be, so lots to play with when writing him which I like. However, I will say that his appearance is what drew me in at the very start, so maybe that.

I have no excuse here, I just like stereotypical looking British guys with the long face and huge, sad eyes combo 😪

Least favorite thing

The way that he's treated in comics and most media hnnnng. He's always someone else's clown or plot device, never his own person. Like.... NEVER. I get it, someone needs to be the henchman I guess- but this is just relentless sksksksk I'd like to see him with a moment of triumph or even redemption sometime.

At his core, he's really not a bad guy, he's just so severely rejected by literally everyone else, he feels like he has no choice but to play the villain half the time

Favorite Line

This is always hard for me bc 1) I never really pay close attention to lines and 2) I haven't actually consumed much content with Toad in it bc I don't usually like how he's represented ksskssk I did like his line in the Wolverine school comic or whatever where when he's asked what he had to say in his defense for all the shit with the hellfire club attack he says "All I did, I did for love"

It sticks out to me bc it shows he has at least something of a poetic or intellectual side, aside from the fact that he's actually very caring, perhaps even empathetic towards a romantic partner. It's also extremely fucking sad bc it goes to show how he's so easily manipulated all the time, considering he'll do quite literally ANYTHING to get his targeted person(s) to like him even just a little, but yeah

brOTP

Nightcrawler, for reasons you can read on my previous ask in this game lol, but also Spiderman. I just feel like he and peter have that "smart kid outcast" vibe together

OTP

I think I'm going to have to unironically say me again for this one skskkss Literally no one in the comics can be bothered to give even a FRACTION of a legitimate fuck about him, so 😔😪

nOTP

Again, also an unironic pretty much everyone but me. See above

Random HC

This is a headcannon that I can also back up with science to make a case for why it should be canon, but: Toad's toxin is so insanely powerful that, if the proper conditions were made available, he could kill guys with the regen power of even Wolverine with it, making him actually one of the deadliest, most dangerous mutants to live. However, he either doesn't even know this about himself, or refuses to take advantage of it. Like I said, he's not ACTUALLY villain

Unpopular opinion

I'm pretty sure last time I said that I find the x-men evolution version of toad actually kind of annoying, so idk if that counts if I say it again, but yeah.

Oh, someone was upset once when I said that his NEURO-toxin is potent enough to kill wolverine, sabretooth, or deadpool for good, even tho I, again, have air tight science to back me up on it- so there's that one ig lol. Their argument was a whole bunch of stuff, but at the very start they said that "unless his poison was somehow attacking the brain first, there's no way he could kill any of these characters bc Blah blah blah"

But guess what organ a NUERO toxin attacks first tho. Go on, guess.

Song I associate

You're going to have to pry my association between Toad and Liam Gallagher from my cold, dead hands lmao. I'll never not associate an Oasis song with him primarily- Lately I'm feeling either Rockin' Chair or Fade Away both off of The Masterplan album

The former has a line like "I'm older then I wish to be, this town holds no more for me" and the latter "While we are living, the dreams we have as children fade away". Basically just giving up on happiness and being disillusioned with life, both very accurate to his sentiments as a character

Favorite Picture

Idk my dude lmao. I like how he looks in contest of champions, the days of future past movie, and how he looks in that comic arc I was talking about with his quote, but only the ones where he actually looks like a person and not a little gremlin ksksks

Most of my own art of him I like as well, but that might just be me lol
