Peaches, *talking to another servant in passing while doing her chores*: Sometimes I wish I had a rich husband or two. Then I'd never have to do this back breaking work.
Peaches, after the kiddnapping: (👁👄👁) now wait a damn minute-
I am such a sucker for dramatic irony 😮‍💨

Do you have a recommendation when designing a black character? Or tips, or maybe pages you visit for references?
Suck at explaining stuff but I’ll try
Tumblr media
‼️ Ethnic Features ‼️
So, the art world is in a very weird place when it comes to ethnic features. The conversation was about how using POC ethnic features as an insult in media was damaging and needed to stop, and that somehow morphed into people being scared about drawing people with those features.
Black people have big ears, big noses, and big lips. That's not the problem. The problem was that media was using it to make us look like giant ape, monkey, monster creatures. It's okay to give them these defining features.
Also, remember that brown people have lighter pigment under their feet, hands, and bottom lips. 🌸 (didn’t really know where to put this but drawing mix people is basically a spin the wheel we come in all different shapes and sizes and features. There’s really no wrong way to draw a mixed POC.)
‼️ It's Just My Style ‼️
I'm so goddamn tired of hearing this goddamn excuse. A style does not mean you can't properly represent POC. I would even go on to say that if your style is stunting you so grossly that you can't draw a proper black person, you have a bad art style. Sorry—not really.
Media has shown us that style does not stop representation. The only thing stopping that is your ignorance and refusal to improve. Great examples of ranging styles still being able to represent different POC are "Adventure Time," "Disney's Soul," "Proud Family," "Afro Samurai," etc. I'm just saying this because I've seen this excuse be more prevalent in the art world, and it's just better to nip that in the bud.
‼️ Whitewashing + I Don't Know How to Use the Color Brown ‼️
I've seen people make the excuse that the skin color is lighter because they use a pastel style, but they never bring up the fact that the only color in the art that's lighter is the skin tone. 💀
Also, the whole thing about people saying they don't know how to shade and color brown palettes is just completely bullshit. I would even say that trying to shade pale colors is harder than shading darker colors. Additionally, there are multiple artists and tutorials showing you exactly how it's done. You have no excuses other than you just don't want to.
YouTuber Sinix has a great video on painting skin tones!
‼️ Black Hairstyles ‼️
I love dreads. Dreads are a very pretty hairstyle. However, we have more hairstyles other than dreads. If you're going to draw black characters, I would encourage you to branch out and explore beyond dread heads. There are so many unique black hairstyles out there. We need to move on from just focusing on dreads.
YouTuber Ari has two wonderful videos on black hairstyles in video games. I would recommend checking them out.
‼️ References ‼️
I love referencing old black media such as "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air," "The Proud Family," and "Little Bill" (before all the Bill Cosby stuff came out). I also appreciate how "House of the Dragon" implemented black people into the lore. Other references include "BOTW/TOTK Rottmnt," etc.
Some artists I reference all the time are Mohammed Agbadi, who doesn't do many art tutorials anymore but often discusses black characters in media, and his art is still amazing. Ethan Becker has a very interesting video on the racist triangle that I recommend checking out.
On Instagram, I love the art of Jojo.Dreamie, Chibichanga12 (holy shit, love their art), Bruniosktch, and Caw.Chan. I also just reference my family a lot. 💀
This is a lot of rambling, but what I’m gonna say is don’t stunt yourself by tricking yourself into believing that your art can’t include POC 🌸🌸‼️💌💖💌💌🎀💕💘‼️🧁

you know what's weird? I did both of these within days of each other. They look like they were drawn by 2 different artists. I did the bottom one first, and after I finished it I was like "you know, this isn't what I wanted the art to look like". So I did it over. The bottom one I feel like I was trying to emulate that cute chibi charm style that I always see, but realize that's not really my thing at all. I still love charms and the idea of them, but my style doesn't suit the majority of what people are looking for. But when I made my Monkey Island/King's Quest charm, having the connection of someone recognizing it and getting excited while also liking the style of it is huge to me, so sometimes I have to remind myself to stay true to myself and draw from the heart.
Welcome to 2024 where I'm not gonna be afraid to redraw stuff I think isn't me and be sappy about it!
TL:DR, the top one is going to be a double sided charm in my shop. The bottom one was a failure in my eyes. Even if some people like it more, it's not really me. But you guys get double Alan Wake/Mr. Scratch charm art so HOORAY TWO CAKES!

Wild Horses | JUICE April 2016
Tumblr media
'British wit' has been a much-desired cultural commodity for a long time — Arctic Monkeys' frontman, Alex Turner, and former-Rascals-leader-turned-solo-star Miles Kane, have that in spades. Their charm converged when they revealed themselves to the world as The Last Shadow Puppets in 2008 via their debut full-length, The Age Of Understatement. After a period of dormancy, they're ready to bring the stomp again on their latest, Everything You've Come To Expect. That it's inspired by soul singer Isaac Hayes is only part of the reason to get excited. Here, in an exclusive with us, Turner and Kane furnish details, and yes, British wit.
Written by Indran P Photography by Zackery Michael
Transcript below
Eight years is a long time between albums. Has a lot changed in your lives since your first?
Alex: A lot about our lives stayed the same during that time, but certain things really changed. It's not like there's one theme running through it or that it's about one thing. But what springs to mind when I first think about the record is the recording of it, which was one of the most pleasant experiences l've ever had. We were by the ocean and a lot of friends were there all the time. So as far as the feeling that surrounds it — be it positive or negative — it's certainly the former.
Can we then expect a few love songs from Everything You've Come To Expect?
A: Not exclusively. Though, there are moments in the record that are certainly in the sphere of the love song. But there are some other moments on there that are kind of opposed to that as well. The first time we did a Shadow Puppets record was perhaps the first time we explored the abstract lyrically and thought about words more as just another component, along with the melody and the chords, and how that contributes to the overall feeling rather than always trying to tell a story.
Miles, was there something that happened during the recording process that you remember fondly?
Miles: I was singing “Gangster's Paradise” by Coolio. And then I sang: “As I walk through the chalet of the shadow of death”. And then we put it in the song “Everything You've Come To Expect”. I don't know where we were, but that was spitting something, yeah.
The record also features string arrangements by Owen Pallett. What was it like working with him?
M: He was with us the whole time — recording and writing his string parts. He definitely gets in a zone and then he'd come back and you'd know, if he wasn't happy about it, you could see. He is a true artiste.
A: He can be very serious at times, but we welcome what he's doing. But Miles is definitely like….
M: I've seen him melt. I made him melt. He's fun, you know.
Besides Owen's input, another interesting change-up in your sound is your newfound appreciation for Isaac Hayes.
M: There probably are lots of different artistes or songs. There was the Isaac Hayes thing; there was a bit of Style Council; there was a bit of Dr. Hook — all those songs that have a certain mood. They may not sound like this record, but there's a certain feeling you get from the tunes. We were definitely very concentrated on the Scott Walker thing on the first one.
As much-scrutinised musicians yourselves, are you ever apprehensive about how you channel an influence?
A: We are still finding new things and getting excited about them. It's not as direct. The reference material on the first Puppets record was really the focus. Whereas that's shifted slightly now. We don't have the innocence we had then, I suppose. And back then, it seemed crazy to us to try and make a record that sounded like Scott Walker, whereas now it's not as mad. But when you talk about some records sometimes, I think you'd have a hard time trying to draw a parallel between this and that. Well, or maybe not.

I thought about Huebei and thought of a couple of really cute ideas.
First and foremost, I can see archeology and paleantology being a special interest of hers even going into her adulthood. Girl wants to work on archeology dig sites and stuff and loves the museum. In Soft Boiled Wukong asks MK to help him out by taking her to a trip to a museum while he and the rest of the Noodle Gang set up a surprise party for her on the island the first time her birthday comes up after the monkey family met the group.
Second... and I don't really know WHY, but I can see her being a dancer. Maybe a ribbon dancer or something, but I think of her dancing gracefully as her tall, lanky teenage self and as her buffer adult self and think,'Yeah, that fits.' I can only assume it's the bit of Macaque's dad's influence that she likes performing. Goodness knows she didn't get it from Wukong! Although he can be just as artistic too and as someone who is artistic from an artistic family, I find that if an inheritance trait, even if my style of art is completely different from my siblings' preferred media. We all joke I'm the only one who can draw even tho all the rest of them can play music, something I frankly am terrible at no matter how much I practice altho that could be the stage fright speaking
Third, I can totally see her and Red being inseparable as babies. They were born not far apart in age and basically have similar powers to each other, whenever Uwkong needed a break he'd go to DBK for babysitting and vice versa up until their falling out and Wukong being forced to seal DBK away. It's for this reason I imagine she would like to sneak out to Uncle Bull's resting place just to be near him again. She knows her dad didn't really have a choice, but she misses Uncle Bull and Red. She makes sure Red never sees her or knows she's there when the Bull Family visit.
The first thing Wukong teaches her, besides how to control her lazer eyes, is the transformations. This was a bit of a necessity since, during the journey and shortly afterwards, Wukong would find himself in a situation where demons and celestials of all walks in life would try to sneak onto the island to search him and his cub out. While most were just curious, a few beings did not mean them well, but luckily for Wukong, they only ever searched for a monkey and his baby... they never searched for a sparrow or a tiger. Fresh from the Journey, visitors were the last things Wukong wanted to deal with!
Yuebei quickly starts to see MK as a sort of big brother figure, in spite if her jealousy that he of all beings got picked to be her father's heir and not her. It didn't matter to her that she had explicitly told her father once she never wanted to follow in his footsteps, that staff is her BIRTHRIGHT! Even so, the first time MK got hurt in front of her (Calabash episode actually) she near lost her shit.
Haha! I do love having Yuebei be interested in bone-based sciences due to her literary association with bones. She was def a "dinosaur-kid" who would run up and down beaches, digging up little shell fossils to bring home and show to her baba. Wukong isn't 100% sure what a trilobite is, but his cub is super excited to explain them to him when she found a weird fossilized pillbug. Wukong just loves that his babygirl has such a passionate interest in the world.
As Yuebei gets older, she goes through phases of hyperfixating on different archaeological eras and cultures. As someone who has an ornament cabinet full of Egyptian god statues from one such phase, I can imagine a few sections of the Stone Palace treasury has been organized so Yuebei can display her interests.
I can imagine (even pre-series) Tang running into Yuebei at the museum, the little glamoured demon just fascinated by a display/diorama on Tang-era trade routes. The scholar thinks its the cutest thing ever! The two become sort of nerd buddies once Yuebei warms up to the Noodle Gang.
And ooo ribbon dancer Yuebei!!
I have watched some performances, and many of the dancers are buff af.
youtube
I can see Wukong struggling to find a creative or physical outlet his daughter would enjoy, only to turn around to find the cub dancing with a stray phoenix feather. He sighs, knowing that the theatrical spirit of Macaque has lived on in some way. Heavens know Yuebei is far more confident on stage than Wukong will ever be!
Yuebei and Red Son were def tight as cousins well up until Bull got imprisoned, and they still have an "older sibling, younger sister" relationship in the modern day. PIF and Red never held Wukong's actions against his child, and if the little rebel liked to visit her auntie and cousin without her baba's permission, then they would accommodate her.
I love the idea of Wukong training his daughter some key powers, like the transformations. Yuebei's different transformations tend to be dark furred/scaled/feathered with little red-orange flecks. Almost like a certain Macaque's... one thing she has trouble changing is the age of the animal she turns into. She's almost always a juvenile of the species no matter how hard she tries.
Yuebei, showing off: "Watch this! I can turn into a tiger!" MK, excited: "Sweet!" Yuebei: (*transforms into a tiger cub*) MK, wondering if that was intentional: "Umm..." Yuebei, furious: "Not. A. Word."
And ofc the baby girl had a problem with her lazer eyes shooting off whenever she had a tantrum - so Wukong had to devise a way to help her control those early on. Welding goggles and sunglasses help a lot on his end, but Guanyin also helped teach younger Yuebei meditation techniques so she could calm down in the moment and avoid triggering a shot.
In the end, even if Yuebei naturally developed a lot of her baba's powers, she sort of resents that MK was chosen as his successor and not her. But she also *knows* it killed her baba to give the Nüwa-made cub up to give him a "normal" life. A life that she couldn't have...
She wants MK to realise his responsibility and not waste it. But also wants to be a kid like he does. The two have to work together to make a balance.

Wangxian Fic Rec: Science Fiction Double Feature 🤖🚀
Mostly wangxian fics with sci fi elements - space, dream science, mindlink, androids, cyberpunk cities etc
Out of Nothing by Pip (Moirail) - zhanchengxian - 27k Summary: You and me, Wei Ying had said. Jiang Cheng is going to take him at his word. Command says that the first neural link is the one that stands out the most, the one that everyone has to be the most careful of, because a navigator’s thoughts can get tangled up with their pilot’s and become inextricably linked. Entangled. My Notes: All time fave. If I ever shut up about this fic you should assume I've been body snatched. Transhumanism, nostalgia, space opera, mindlink.
In Imitation of Life by travelingneuritis - wangxian - 70k Summary: Lan Zhan stops in front of one of the bespoke duplicates— a male figure, small, creamy-skinned and lithe. The name on the plinth reads Mo Xuanyu. Lan Zhan tested it on his first pass through the room. The doll was empty. No signals bouncing around its artificial brain, no operating programs queued to autostart. Not even a blinking dormancy light. "Hey big guy," says Mo Xuanyu, chrome eyes sparkling with fun. "Who do I gotta fuck around here to get unplugged?" Wei Ying is a rogue AI come to life. Lan Zhan is… handling it. My Notes: This is my Neuromancer. Actually one of my favorite cyberpunk cities EVER. When I figured out what OP was doing with the city and plot structure I legitimately went insane. Android erotics, cyberpunk city.
More fics under the cut!!
via AMONG THE STARS BY PLONK (a series of oneshots set in Firefly's CU, all really excellent but I want to draw attention a few all time faves) A Monk and a Myth - wangxian Summary: take_me_to_church.mp3 My Notes: This is THE and I mean THE final word on science fictional religiosity and devotion. Can not imagine trying to tackle those concepts without having read this. Man as myth, folk heroes, Lan Zhan's canon typical devotion. a grease monkey, a companion, and some pals aboard the lil apple - wangxian My Notes: Lan Wangji is a very prim and classy companion (in universe style of sex worker) and Wei Wuxian is a ship repair guy and Lan Wangji teaches him the ways of the secular flesh. My fucking god do I think about this sex scene all the time. Like, weekly. a chatty mechanic and a silent academy survivor aboard the lotus - wangxian genderswap Summary: Just really excellent. Wei Wuxian is a ship mechanic and Lan Wangji has psychic abilities from medical experimentation from which she's been rescued. Solidly space western, the end of this one is just wonderful. Love the mindlink elements here. escapees aboard the radish - wangxian Summary: So absolutely crazy about this one. Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji are both ex academy students or have both been victims of psychic medical experiments. I love it as a story about trauma and living in aftermath. Mindlink.
promises of the future by spookykingdomstarlight - wei wuxian/wei wuxian - 3k Summary: His ocular sensors spin themselves to life. In the mirror, he sees himself. And he sees himself, himself but different, reflected from the mirror he’s resting against into the mirror he’s facing. Himself but slighter, features sharper. Himself, with eyes brightened by the power of a star. Himself, crouched above himself, close enough to kiss. My Notes: Yes you read that pairing right!! Give it up for robot eroticism!!!! Android erotics, cyberpunk sensibility.
some lovely, perilous think by varnes - wangxian - 24k Summary: Jingyi makes a sympathetic sound. “I’ve got a buddy in one of the Hefei labs, and he says there’s some evidence to suggest that people stuck in limbo develop, like, whole new neural pathways. And you go in and out of it all the time, right, so who knows what your brain is up to.” His eyes light up. “Oh man, would you let me — ” “Obviously no,” Wei Ying says, voice flat. “But you’re close enough to right. I can keep you all safely in the level, but it’s tiring. I can’t be both dreamer and extractor.” “I’ll do it,” Lan Zhan cuts in, before Jingyi can protest or Wen Yuan can ask any further questions. “It’s not a problem.” “Are you sure?” Wen Yuan asks, brow furrowing. “If your sub-security picks up that Xian-gege doesn’t belong — ” “They won’t.” Wei Ying frowns. “Not for nothing, ge,” he says slowly, “but the last time we were in your dream together, I fell off a cliff.” Lan Zhan looks up and over at him. There is something in his eyes that Wei Ying can’t quite read: something fierce, and faraway. “I remember,” he says, voice quiet. “Do you?” - Wei Ying takes a dream heist job with an old friend. My Notes: God this is wonderful. We've got a full cast and some case/heist fic flavoured science fictional elements. I think it plays very nicely with a lot of the other cool mindlink stuff on this list.
world.runExecution by pip (moirail) - zhanchengxian - 30k IN PROGRESS Summary: What does it mean to be human, anyway? “Here we go,” Wei Ying mumbles, and Jiang Cheng doesn’t have the chance to ask what that means before Wei Ying’s squaring up his shoulders and moving in a way that cuts a swath through the crowd. My Notes: my group chat commissioned this for FTH in 2022 and it remains the love of my life. Pip you beautiful genius. CYBERPUNK I LOVE YOU.
i will be chasing a starlight by feyburner, sundiscus - wangxian - 71k Summary: “You know what?” Wei Ying said. “I think we should be friends.”
“Vulcans do not have friends,” said Lan Zhan. He was staring very determinedly at the screen in front of him.
Wei Ying frowned at him. “That can’t be right.” My Notes: I am so insanely crazy town about this fic. God there has not been a filler entry on this list YET! below the clouds, above the lakes by northofallmusic (tofsla) - wangxian - 22k UNFINISHED Summary: Wei Ying was not formally considered a Jiang until it became necessary for a Jiang to marry a Lan as a guarantee of alliance. Now, in the habitat dome which houses the palace known as the Cloud Recesses, he has to navigate a new role, a new marriage, and an unfamiliar tangle of political relationships and loyalties. My Notes: I remember LOVING the worldbuilding on this and really enjoying the space OP was playing in, I thought it was worth a read. Thank you so much to everyone who recommended fics!! It's coming to my attention that this list is going to get massive so I'll reblog as I read and update it 🚀

I'm so sorry I wasn't active I was doing something. Drawing some shit like this. I even made my sketchbook a bit chunky. (I'm using gramarly cuz English is my second language)
Tumblr media
The first is Monkey Y/n, who is a half-human and half-monkey demon. And like she is a witch. I like thinking something about witches. THEY ARE MY SECOND FAVORITE MONSTERS. Like she used to be friends with Six-eared Macaque. Macaque was a pre-teen (9-11) and Y/n is in her early teens (13-14). Later as adults, they started a relationship. Y/n is a chill and confused gf while Macaque is like flirty and crazy in love. Everything changed when Y/n back from a mission while being away for like half a year until she heard that Macaque was killed by the hands of Monkey King. It outrages her and wanted to get her revenge on Wukong but realized her neckless wasn't with Macaque anymore. It was odd. You thought Monkey King stole it but you managed to find it it was covered in dirt and broken. It almost looks like it wasn't needed. Then there was a realization and breakdown then y/N promised to fall in love again or get tricked and yadayadayadayada she diseppierd for centuries. Then they met again
2. Then for the next hundred years, they meet again AND Macaque thinks Y/n will come back to him but nahh "Do you really think I the great Witch of Abomination? Think again" Then shoves the neckless she gave him when they were young adults.
Tumblr media
3. In the Lego Monkie kid universe ( It's how I designed Macaque I mean people say drawing a character 'in my style' so yee) AS it is written on small papers what happens in different universes. So in the Lego Monkie kid universe Y/n just kicks him away because she has a job to do and doesn't want anyone to mess it up. While in my universe Y/n tries to kill him. Macaque has to die again. But he can't stop falling in love even more while Y/n fell out of love. She moved on and already has 3 kids. well, 2 are Macaques and y/ns while her youngest is fully human but has powers like Discord from mlp.
Tumblr media
4. Okey so the woman that is standing next to Monkey Y/n is me as a Celestial guard or something. Monkey y/n needed help for something so she went for some help. Then I the Celstal guard would gladly helped.
Tumblr media
5. I made myself as a Spider-woman. But like it says on icecream Chopstick. A mutated. This is very short so like there was a spider that had a mutated venom on her fat bunda. How I was bit well....I was filling my water bottle and I didn't see a spider inside so I drank it and bam I was kicked out of my home and became a vigilant Spider-woman, I have 16 eyes, I can spill my venom when I bit someone and forgot my toxic family, my school. my old life..... And 1 year later a Spider sociality came to invite me but I refused cuz.. Why should I mean they have a thousand spider people on it why do they need another one???? I refused multiple times.. heck they even tried to force me but I made it again very clear I will not join. So they stopped bugging me until an Indian Spider-man give me some weird tech bracelet and said to keep it if I in case need their help. Then this boy named Miles Morales came into your universe and said this was whole a misunderstanding that he came from the wrong universe and that he needs to go back to his universe to save his dad but he is being chased by multiple spider-people who is leading them is Miguel O'hara. Ahh that annoying bitchy grumpy man with a problem temperature. Then he explained that he is also being chased by a powler-version of himself. And I explain powler-version of himself is also the enemy I'm trying to put him in jail and also my sister's best friend. He was shocked. But I had no time to explain so I told him to stay at my place. I MADE HIM A BUREK S MESOM AND HE LOVED IT. Then he said that he will never be able to save his dad the one I wrote on a pic was a mistake. So i told him to not worry about them.
Tumblr media
6. This is like a small doodle of me, Lilith from Hazbin Hotel, and Monkey witch y/n who sleeps naked alone. The reason why she sleeps naked it's because it itchy for her to sleep with pj's and sweets a lot which causes the bed to get wet and she stinks a lot and hates to take a shower twice a day. She only does it alone- when Y/n started to have a relationship with Macaque she was embarrassed to ask Macaque if she could sleep with no clothes on nothing sexual it is normal for monkeys to be naked which of course Macaque notices that and tells her that it won't bother him after all a lot of tribe monkeys sleep naked or be naked. It is actually common for monkeys to be naked :)
Tumblr media
7. This is actually funny to me. I made an Eagle Y/n a very long ago I wanted to draw more of her with Golden Winged Peng From Lego Monkey Kid she is also a sister figure of a Macaque. I was listening to 'Ayesha Erotica - 9 am in Calabasas where there is a scenario where he talks about starting to fall in love with Eagle Y/n and yadadada not gonna make it longer and you guys probably that one trend on TikTok lalalalala ˛& okokokokok, yeah they are both okokokokok. Don't ask me why It's my opinion cuz they both are listening to each other.
Tumblr media
And here is a little note for everyone to see better. I was even going to make Y/n shorter before I searched about eagles' height. What I was mostly curious about is the height and the types of eagles are called. Y/n is a golden eagle. MEANING he can sit on her lap whenever he can I even searched about Peng's origin in Buddhism. Mostly wiki. Also, Y/n has leopard-like teeth and it looks something like this:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
8. And another Y/n Oc from Rise of the Guardians as Halloween spirit. A love interest for Easter Bunnymund. Yes, it is from a headcanon on Tumblr and l read it and loved it. The reason why I designed it like this is that I tried to find some clothes for her like:
-a witch hat and has a goth neckless,
-a Vampire cape,
-a stone candy that it's attached on her neckless,
-she has clown makeup on her face exept her lips,
-bones painted on her body,
-has a crow mask behind her back,
-witch reaped dress,
-wolf form
!and fun /sad facts about the Halloween spirit!:
After Halloween, Y/N'ween typically takes a walk in a dark forest and disappears.
When there is a child or a teen that is too scared of going alone to get jumpscares, Y/N'ween will make it less scary and leaves lollipops to feel better.
if selfish parent/s would force their child/ren to steal candies from others. Y/N'ween would give them a thousand of jumpscares till they learn a lesson.
Y/N'ween is actually shy but when you get to meet her she is really outgoing.
Hates it when she is called 'puppy'. mostly from Jack
has ADHD
has a mark that one of the Toothiana's fairies had pinched her thinking Y/n'ween was a threat.
she uses withes magical mop to fly.
Y/n'ween is being misgendered due to her muscular arms and makeup, which happens a lot.
at a Halloween a kid was being laughed at for being a scared cat which angered the teen, this teen started throwing rocks at them then the kids did the same thing to her but a boy threw a rock on her head. It knocked her out and her head started bleeding. The kids were scared and ran off leaving her dying. When Y/n'ween smelled blood she rushed to s find where the blood was coming from and hoping she wasn't too late...
unfortunately she was late....but the moon chose the kid to become her left hand as to help Y/n'ween with celebrating Halloween.
All Y/n designs are free to use EXCEPT!
My personas. AND ADD CREDITS PLS OR I WILL STALK YOU AND ADD HATE ON YOU!!!

Spoilers for LMK Season 5 Episodes 1 and 2 (again) below the cut!!
Better audio! Let’s go!
The intro, my beloved!
Tired MK, nap now or you may never get the chance.
“Way batter monkey mountain” I missed that before.
SpongeBob style zoom in is hilarious
“I already said the thing!”
SWK wants MK to be as immortal as he is, of only so they can play fight without him holding back at all. I can feel it.
They destroy mountains in the show more than anything else.
MK, The Small Sage of ignoring his problems until they go away except they never go away.
“A surprise?” The fact that this many thousands of years old monkey is so excited for surprises is adorable.
Mac doing his lurking.
“You really are the worst mentor” Mac, I love you, but you are not any better. Remember the anime style video game?
“We” will get me every time.
I kinda wonder is LBD was actually the one to like, fully bring Mac back or if someone else did and he doesn’t remember.
“You need to do better” you’re not being super fair there, like SWK is trying. Maybe step up and also be a monkey mentor if you’re so concerned.
Pigsy doing his fast little hammer trying to get it finished faster.
MK, if you weren’t ready why did you call him over?
The house!! Genuinely hope nothing happens to it this season. (Tell me it’s not gonna become this shows version of the Bounty)
I was so distracted my the pictures I didn’t notice the drawings!!! OMG!!! MK you’re the best!!
Love Mei in those overalls BTW, super cute.
Hugs!!!
It’s funny that MK can activate Tangs power for him.
It’s interesting to see that the only major difference with the animation is the characters. Like the cinematography is still really similar. It’s just rigged animation now.
If anyone has any insomniac!MK getting comforted by Pigsy (or any of his dads) fic recs, please share them because this is the good stuff.
Also MK is the anti Steven Universe. Steven collects moms and MK collects dads. (But obvs Pigsy is like number 1 Dad. Pigsy gets the worlds greatest dad mug and Tang, Sandy, and SWK all get mugs that say “backup dad” and then a number in order of when he met them. Because I think it’s funny.)
I love how Pigsy knows forcing him to bed is 100% the wrong thing to do here. Like this is something he’s dealt with multiple times.
MK cooks like I do. It’s okay MK, I don’t know how to freestyle either, that’s why I’m the baker of the family.
The animation shift of the food that’s missing something and the finished thing is so nice. I lost how it shifts from looking bland to looking SOO GOOD.
I want those noodles.
Baby MK!!
I would die for Pigsy. Like, he’s such a good character.
I wonder if the burning of FFM is canon and if Mac helped save all the baby monkeys. That would make sense as to why they cling to him.
Every season MK gets further and further for a good nights sleep, for only pennies a day, you could sponsor a monkie kid and help him receive a nap. In return, he will be well rested to prevent monsters from destroying the city.
Team Let MK Rest!
Little monkeys are scared. It’s okay little monkeys, they won’t destroy your mountain this time, probably, maybe.
Episode 2 time!
Took a break because internet was being mean to me. (Wouldn’t load)
Have I mentioned how much I love the new intro?
SWK is unimpressed with the lords of the underworld’s intimidation tactics
I love how MK still uses/wears Monkey King merch even though they’re friends now. Do you think SWK has a closet full of unreleased merch he has saved to give MK as gifts? Because MK would love that.
Mac is also unimpressed. Very “been here done this before”.
Ace attorney MK!!!
“We have brought a power even greater than yours” *brings out Nezha and Li Jing* did you guys read JTTW? Because like…beating these guys was how SWK got recognized as the Great Sage Equal to Heaven.
Cheeky monkey
The panic in Mac’s eyes when he realizes what’s happening is fascinating.
I kinda wonder where they got the fillet, cause in the book they were given to Guan-Yin by Buddha. I doubt Buddha was like “you need to subdue the Monkey King again? Yeah sure, have this super powerful thing”
Also SWK still trying to comfort MK even when dealing with this thing.
Your honor, they are divorced.
Tang is the only one who can teach MK anything.
Painted style sections my beloved.
“It’s his lawyer bit.” They’re both so used to MK’s antics
SWK’s obnoxious younger brother vibes whenever Nezha is present are my favorite.
Heaven getting flashbacks to SWK’s last rampage
I think there should be a running gag that MK’s style and Sandy’s style are total opposites so every time MK rebuilds something of Sandy’s there’s a little chibi Sandy mourning the new look. It’s be funny.
You know Mac, if you just portaled Wukong into the truck sooner you probably wouldn’t have gotten caught.
Also sad SWK face will always get me.

🍓 Author Ask tag 🍓
Thank you for the tag! @phynewrites <3
Some fantastic questions ^-^
I tag @that-one-enby-onyx @verba-writing @mikathewriter @akiwitch and @dreaminggoblin
Your questions are:
Which OC has the Jester's Privilege (google it if you aren't sure <3)
How long have you been writing your most recent WIP?
Other than your WIPs, what creative hobbies do you have?
Which character do you like the least from all your works?
If your WIP were to be considered the "inventor" of a new trope, which trope do you think that would be?
When the Writer's Block Fairy hits, do you hit back or do you let it run it's course?
If you could give any advice to your past self, right before starting your WIP, what would it be?
My questions, from phynewrites:
Which OC are you most fond of, and why?
David. I draw Davina more than David, by a lot, but David is my special little boy. He's the very first fursona I ever had, and he's still very near and dear to my heart.
Is there any form of media (other movies, books, theater, news, etc.) that inspired your wip/s? How so?
Visual Novels (which I'm working on one myself now!) and RPGs like Fable 2 and 3. Games where choices matter. I wanted to make a story that takes causality into account directly. Instead of writing back-to-front, where I have a pre-set conclusion, I write linearly. I've...essentially BECOME Malor, the God of Fate and Chance, from Relan.
I set very specific events that NEED to happen (David's incident with Trace, Ryder's employment with Kaleb, that sort of thing) and then allow the story to create itself in the in-betweens. What happens happens, and the choices matter: I let the characters breathe, live, do their own thing. I step into the shoes of an observer.
If I hadn't been so heavily inspired by games where the events are determined by free will and choice, I wouldn't write the way I do, and the story would be drastically different.
What wip-related activities do you do aside from writing your wip? (making moodboards or playlists, etc.)
Visual Novel XD I'm making a visual novel, and I draw now and then as well!
What are you most proud of in your wip/s and why?
The worldbuilding lore that most of the readers will never see XD
I put a LOT of work into building the world, before I ever wrote a single letter of the story, and most of it will never see the light of day unless I actually manage to finish the Relanian Lore Compendium
What tropes are common among your wip/s? Why do you enjoy incorporating these tropes?
Found Family, friends-to-lovers, affably evil, and irredeemably evil are my favorite tropes to use and pop up in almost everything I do XD
Which part of your wip are you most struggling and how do you plan to overcome it?
THE DOWNHILL CALM AFTER THE CLIMAX OF THE STORY. I've been struggling to write it for ages now. I finally hit the climax of the story and have been trying to write the final 2 chapters, and it's hard.
Supernatural said it best.
"Endings are hard. Any chapped-ass monkey with a keyboard can poop out a beginning, but endings are impossible. You try to tie up every loose end, but you never can. The fans are always gonna bitch. There's always gonna be holes. And since it's the ending, it's all supposed to add up to something. I'm telling you, they're a raging pain in the ass" - Chuck Shurley, Supernatural
Any advice/ words of encouragement or just really a greeting to any writeblr who would have read this far?
When you see those posts telling you how to be a good writer, giving all sorts of advice on the concepts of "show, don't tell", "don't over-worldbuild, don't under-worldbuild", "write this way, write that way"...
Fuck'em. If you're new enough to need advice, I promise, any advice like that is harmful. Start off just developing your style, your way. Learn how YOU write, what feels good to YOU. When you know your style, and you know what feels good to you, THEN learn the "rules".
Read like hell, both before, during, and after developing your style. When you have your style, learn the rules from an academic standpoint, learn the "correct" way to write.
And then adapt it. Bend the rules that suit you, break the rules that hurt your efforts, follow the rules that improve your work. Create your own set of rules and follow those instead of any standardized "This Is The Right Way" rules set by others.
That's my advice. Nobody can tell your story the way you can, so why should you follow anybody else's rules for writing?

"Let the demon child come out and play!" everybody who knows Nezha lore turns to stare at the camera. I knew with this episode, you'd have two more reasons to hate Peng than just Macky and Mei lol. "This isn't worth your life." "You're right. It's worth far more than that." *sighs in lore.* You need therapy too, this show made it worse. "No matter what options it's giving you, you're always going to end up in the same spot." "Ooooh, thanks Macaque. You went through more effort than usual to make me feel like dirty dirt dirt. Good job, round of applause." ABSOLUTELY CRACKING UP AT MK DISHING OUT ALL THIS SASS AND MACKY'S STUMPED LOOK AND AWKWARD EYE ROLL gosh that face- "You were supposed to realize by now that the choices the game's giving you aren't the only choices you've got. Life isn't some pre-written thing like a video game where you have to do what the tutorial says." "It's time to start making your own choices. Something I wish I'd learned a lot sooner than I did." DULY NOTING THIS DOWN FOR THE S4 SPECIAL. We know, it's hard for you to be pushy when you were younger, always following Wukong and friends. Also ow, the cut to the drawing they made together :') two different art styles, they DID draw that together and Wukong kept it all this time :') :') :') Well now that we're in the S4 special uh hehe, you can see where it comes in :) "Only you get to decide who you are, kiddo." That had NO right to be as soft as it was. Haha yep, very weird how the Celestial beings instantly react to that. Only other thing those three have in common excluding MK is dying and being brought back in different ways.
1) SoySauce Duo is a TREASURE. It's so funny watching MK gush about how Wukong was all cute and cheeky, no WAY he did nothing wrong. "Sir, my client is just a fluffy monkey. Let him go. Is it a crime to be silly?" He'd make a great lawyer lol. Meanwhile, Macky is RIGHT THERE lol. It's ok we already heard his perspective. But he's holding back and is just like.......dude. did you even read the book.
2) Love love love the trope of Macky constantly collecting more monkeys. Those little guys missed him a lot, surely. Also LOL at MK laughing at Macky's expense over being called "bud." There's a misconception that Macky would be calling Wukong "peaches" nah that's all stuff like "your majesty" meanwhile Wukong is nicknaming this grumpy ball of fluff something cute like "peaches." Hard agree with his anguish tho like tell us what happened already for realsies we're still waiting for part 2!! 3) "We have to try. He'd do the same for any of us." Meanwhile Macky: *thinking back to MK's S3 rant and the cave divorce* "I can't believe I'm sticking my neck out for Wukong. Again." says monkey not being forced to do anything. Love also, how he apparently read all 2,000 pages of this book. just divorced ex-best friend nemesis you want to kill things. ALSO 😭 that "Wukong, what have you done." has crazy emotion. you two know each other so deeply. Notice how Wukong's eyebrows used to be all messy like Macky's here 🤔 something something, monkey who tries to appear more like a civilized human to belong somewhere and not be seen as a savage beast. 4) Who knows really why Macky was bandaging himself alone or what fight he got into off screen. Just warrior things. But hey 👀 that promise he reminded Macky of in the 2nd ep this season. It is ILLEGALLY CUTE AND PRECIOUS how Wukong is able to dispel any doubts or concerns Macky has just by poking him all goofy like that and UGH THE CUTE SHY SMILES THAT HE CAN'T HELP BC OF HIS STUPID OPTIMISTIC SHINING LIGHT OF A FRIEND and the FREAKING HAIR RUFFLE "Quit it, eat your dang peach." He says with a complete smile audible in his voice bc his friend is stupidly endearing. "You're a peach!" OKAY WUKONG.

Monkey King 2009 Episode 12
Jade Rabbit is the funniest character in this whole show. I will accept argument but you will not win.
The way she just straight tosses Ginseng Fruit once she's done with them, yes, but primarily I am talking about her faces. The look after she casually takes Ginseng Fruit prisoner? Absolute gold. Love it. Also the way she might soften a little but still gives zero ground whatsoever. Oh, you were gathering food for a starving refugee population? How noble! You're still wrong and should feel bad, but in light of this new information you've earned five seconds to grovel for forgiveness.
I love her.
Ginseng Fruit's flair for storytelling makes a comeback and I am here for it. Child was dramatizing for their life so hard they needed a whole other nap after that, and honestly? They earned it. Even made sure to throw in that audience participation. Ginseng Fruit is aiming for pro.
Anyway, back to the program. They're drawing their peaches differently! Huh. Did someone complain about the old style? I never really thought 'peach' when I looked at them, sure, but these new ones are like. Well, they certainly look more like peaches! To be fair! But they're almost so realistic it actually circles back around to looking super weird and sort of off-putting? It might be the coloring not really matching the coloring of anything else. I don't know, maybe they'll grow on me.
Another episode lightly touching on Stone Monkey's flaws and it was really good, actually. Unlike last time, these are less "flaws" that are mostly just products of him trying to survive his environment and more things that make me think, "Oh, yeah, okay. That actually is something he should work on."
The primary ones seem to be 1) a return of his obliviousness toward others' feelings and 2) impulsivity with 3) a dash of 'I'll just do everything by myself'.
Which sort of gets into the Six Ears Situation. Which I thought was really well done this episode. I really like how they're taking care to show why Six Ears - though still definitely going down a concerning path - might be feeling these things and give actual reasons for his growing distance from Stone Monkey. I think the primary example was in the food foraging mission.
Like, nearly from the word go, Stone Monkey doesn't fully grasp the gravity of the situation. This is frustrating for both of them. Stone Monkey, because he doesn't understand why Six Ears is acting so different, and Six Ears, because he feels he can't rely on Stone Monkey, forcing him to go on even higher alert and winding him up that much tighter.
And this is because Six Ears does understand the gravity of the situation. They are in enemy territory and Six Ears is tense. He's a far cry from the kid who was cheerfully helping Stone Monkey fix the peach stores just a couple episodes ago. He wants to get the mission done, get it done right, and go home. For probably the first time since they met, Six Ears doesn't want to play Stone Monkey's games, and Stone Monkey doesn't understand why.
And, honestly, Six Ears is right, is the thing. The peaches? Peaches ripen even off the tree. They're perfectly edible (if not very pleasant) even when they're still very green, so peaches that are just a little green are definitely not that bad. They won't taste as good as a peach left on a tree to fully ripen, but they'll do the job. Six Ears grabbing every peach in range as quickly as possible is absolutely the right thing to do when they need to get in and out quickly, and have so many mouths to feed on top of a need to pad out their stores (specifically so what happens to them later in the episode (they end up trapped and starving in a siege) doesn't happen). Stone Monkey wants to help and do right by the monkeys and give them something nice, but his priorities are off. He doesn't have a sense of urgency and he's not really thinking long-term. He's also not really willing to listen when Six Ears explains. This is a very realistic form of miscommunication and mutual frustration and I love how they wrote it and included it.
I also love Old Monkey King's delight at Jade Rabbit bullying Stone Monkey into teamwork. Man was tickled.
And then later when Stone Monkey throws himself out of the cave to "lead them away", therefore immediately giving away their entire position even though the Demon King was still unsure and preventing them from using that time to better prepare themselves? Even Old Monkey King shouted after him to stop that shit. You know how you have that super laid back guy who is basically never phased by anything and then suddenly they decide to put their foot down and they use that specific voice at three times their normal volume and only a quarter their usual octave and everyone in the vicinity abruptly morphs into wide-eyed scolded children no matter their age?
Right, so I have no idea how Stone Monkey didn't shrivel up on the spot when Old Monkey Kind barked at him. A true superpower.
I gotta say I love Stone Monkey's impulsivity. Any version of a young Sun Wukong just feels so incomplete without it. In this show it's also generally always worked out for him in the past too, so I think this is the first time he's actually messed something up and not been immediately able to fix it? Love that for his character. Sun Wukong should be so competent and capable that he outpaces the development of caution and a true sense for consequences.
And, oh, so now the monkey troops are able to make a stand when their backs are to a wall, huh? No one out here calling for an immediate retreat? Is that so?
Say what you will though, the monkeys continue the trend of a better second showing over the first. They believe in a culture of constant improvement! Old Monkey King is not playing around, either. He hasn't thrown down this hard since Episode 4.
And like Ginseng Fruit's flair for storytelling, Demon King's theater hobby has popped its head back up. He was thrilled to finally be able to use that line. Do you think he's taken the time to mentally sort the monkeys into these opera roles? Who are the painted characters and who gets which face color, buddy? Old Monkey King get his own special category? That's so precious. No, no, don't be shy. I want to hear all your meta.
(But also, show, are you telling me that Iron-Backed Gray Wolf can run sideways on vertical cliff faces but can't balance on a barely shaking branch? Guy, what are you doing.)
Honestly though, this whole battle scene is tense in exactly the right way. Loved it.
*bops Jade Rabbit gently* Stop meta-gaming.
Listen, if Jade Rabbit's going to be accusing anyone of "wanting the acclaim" based solely off their recent actions, Stone Monkey literally gave away their entire position by deciding all on his own to take on an entire army single-handedly, and prefaced this by solemnly-but-resolutely declaring to the king that he was going alone to "lead them away" and then not listening when literally everyone said, "Wait, don't do that."
He wasn't doing it for praise, but you can't say a case couldn't be made that he was. And I'm just saying that, in this particular instance, if anyone feels the need to accuse anyone else of fishing for praise, Six Ears should probably not be the first name that comes to mind. Just. Based on what little has been seen by a certain person's own two eyes. Get out of the script, Jade Rabbit.
(Acclaim is definitely a motivating factor in Six Ears's decision, yes, but the point is how does Jade Rabbit have any reason to know that? Easy! She doesn't! *bangs gavel* case closed defendant found guilty of meta-knowledge)
That said, it was sort of a struggle figuring out Six Ears's motivations here. I almost wrote off his whole plan here as a sort of a contrived event to force the plot along, but I actually think it does make sense. I'm about to ramble a lot, bear with me.
Okay, so Six Ears deciding to quietly stage a surprise attack on the enemy camp at night without input from Old Monkey King or anyone else...doesn't actually fit his character, in most circumstances? At least in my opinion? Since Episode 1, Six Ears has always made sure to declare his intentions/seek permission from at least Old Monkey King before taking on a task, as is typically the proper way to do these things. Just taking off on his own isn't really his MO - that's Stone Monkey's thing, which Six Ears has scolded him for in the past. We should also consider even just the beginning of the episode, where he was definitely taking his enemies seriously and trying to handle the whole mission in as efficient and safe a manner as possible, and also being the first to insist to Stone Monkey that he needs to work together with someone. Six Ears abruptly deciding to underestimate Havoc's army and also go entirely rogue from any authority figure is just...odd.
Unless he doesn't think Stone Monkey was ever punished for his earlier stunt of throwing himself out of the waterfall in front of the whole Demon King army and trying to take them on single-handedly. (Are you still with me? I swear I'm getting to the point.)
This isn't quite correct. Stone Monkey was sort of being punished. Or at least that's how I took it. Old Monkey King's giving him the same unimpressed and doubtful looks he tends to give the four generals. He's not humoring him or favoring him with any extra patience when he defends Six Ears's plan. Stone Monkey takes it like a champ and convinces him anyway, sure, but only after Old Monkey King listens long enough to decide that Stone Monkey learned something beneficial from his mistake after all, and he's mostly a cold wall until he does. Even when he voices approval, it's not exactly warm. He's far and away from the indulgent figure we usually see around the kids. Stone Monkey is in trouble.
But I'm not sure Six Ears would have seen it that way. In his head, it might look like Stone Monkey's recklessness and impulsivity is what they all want. If he's barely gotten a slap on the wrist for a mistake that big, that's almost approval, isn't it?
So! Six Ears's plan makes sense to me if he's trying to be Stone Monkey. It doesn't sit naturally with him, but he's desperate and scared (see all of last episode) and has spent a good chunk of his life chasing Old Monkey King's approval. I can see him trying, even if he knows it's a bad idea. Six Ears's caution and prudence, after all, hasn't benefited him in a single way he actually cares about - it hasn't kept him safe from the Demon King's army and it hasn't kept him in Old Monkey King's esteem (in his view). If he's deliberately ignoring the voice in his head listing why this can't work and he needs to run it by Old Monkey King right now - all the things he would probably want to say to Stone Monkey, if Stone Monkey had tried anything like this - well, Stone Monkey's been just fine without that voice, hasn't he? And so Six Ears buries it. (I actually think that dramatic hesitation when he's being questioned by the guards is just him internally screaming when he realized he'd have to say his dumb plan out loud. RIP kid, make better choices.)
(He still brought people along, though. No amount of pretending to be Stone Monkey will be able to remove Six Ears's better judgement entirely. He's just gotten started. Give him a bit. He needs to work his way up to Stone Monkey's level. Baby steps.)
Also I agree with Stone Monkey that it's not a bad plan, exactly. It's the way Six Ears is trying to execute it that's wrong, not the plan itself. He's right that they need to break the siege as quickly as possible - they have no other options. They have no food and it's not even a day in, and the longer they wait the weaker they'll get. Even doing nothing, it wouldn't be a week before the Demon King's army could just walk right in with no resistance. A well-targeted, hard-hitting attack when they're most likely to be disorganized and slowest to respond is ideal considering their comparatively weaker fighting force. It's a good plan, actually.
The primary issue is that it's severely under-resourced and lacks any degree of cohesion with the larger troop. Old Monkey King, properly alerted to the plan, could have forces on standby in case something goes wrong and they need to provide an escape route, mount a defense of the entryway, or an opportunity to break the Demon King's army otherwise presents itself. They could make sure there are no conflicting operations. Old Monkey King wouldn't suddenly be absent three guards on the main entrance. I mean, hey, we don't even know if those three guys are good for a stealth mission. They could put together an actual team, maybe.
*claps hands* COMMUNICATION COMMUNICATION COMMUNICATION
(A second of silence for Old Monkey King, please, having just finished hammering this lesson home in one kid only to have the other immediately forget it to go sneaking off to single-handedly fight an enemy army.)
(The moment he must realize that these kids have one rational brain cell between them and by giving it to Stone Monkey he may have forcibly evicted it from Six Ears. Like magnets. They cannot both possess impulse control at the same time.)
(Really funny the whole 'kid sneaks off to single-handedly fight an army' thing happened twice in one day though. Literally can't turn your back on them for a single second, huh?)

Would you say that rumble and savage are hard to draw? I was trying to come up with my own distinct design for them but boy is it complicated
i think since theyre semi non canon, youve got to feel out a design that suits your own style of drawing.
it did take me a page of doodles to get some designs i liked down when i made them for the dt au, although its difficult to make them distinct tbh since theyre mostly just black and red. i did it with clothing and eye color, but you could easily have them with longer or shorter hair, different clothing types, face patters, or switch round their colorscheme to include other colors. (they were just littl blobs when me and aki designed them for the honeymoon au)
i think some solid advice is to always settle on a design you actually like drawing, or else youll make yourself hate every time you try to draw em. and possibly go stare at some different types of monkey and tamarin species if you havent already gor some inspo

I listen to a lot of different kind of music. My fav genres is probably house/electronic/dance (i really love kygo, avicii and calvin harris) and pop (little mix, taylor swift, selena gomez, harry styles and ariana grande)
I really like music from the 70's and 80's so I listen to that alot.
Last year i began to listen to "milo greene" so now I kinda love indie pop, and try to listen to difrent indie artist. But the music i have been listening to the most for the past couple of months is rock (artic monkeys and the Neighbourhood)
So yeah I listen to a lot of different genres, it just depends on what mood im in.
i listen to them too! Kygo especially from the group you mentioned. I think i listen to anything except rap and metal.
Oh, i love songs from those decades, they are my karaoke go-to. And i have a "millennial playlist" with songs from the 90s that start with tubthumping and mmmbop lol
you know what, ive always loved Milo Greene's "Afraid of everything" (acoustic version) even before i noticed lizzie and found out her husband is part of the band. Now when i listen to this song, i imagine robbie writing the line "i could barely breathe at the sound of your voice, i could never run that fast" (assuming he wrote it lol)
Ive listened to a couple of songs from artic monkeys and the neighborhood, i remember drawing a portrait of alex turner with a ballpoint pen lol
Your taste in music is 👌👏❤️

In the TMNT universe, I have many different AUs.
These three AUs relate to TMNT 2012 and each of them has its own small, maybe with plot holes, but history.
In the sketch version, here are three Leo designs: One of four (OFF), Atrophy and Parallel.
I want to note that in these three universes my luggage from different fictions does not end,as well as in these three worlds different time intervals from the events of the series.
(And another little note to my city, my style of drawing turtles jumps a lot and I still haven’t decided on it)
One of four
Briefly: events in this universe take place after the death of the Leo brothers, he remains the only turtle and grows up with a weight of guilt on his shoulders. Sensei was with him for a while, but he died after everything that happened. Many years have passed since the death of the brothers ( to be exact, around 10 when they died, he was 16). He has become violent and almost unemotional, the only people he interacts with are April and Casey. April became more skillful in her own magical powers, and also changed her character after all, Casey seemed to have not changed in character, but he also became cruel, and also lost his hand and relatives.
Atrophy
Briefly: Leo is captured after one skirmish and spends a certain amount of time there, after which, when he is rescued, it turns out that Leo cannot show emotions in any normal way. His face is in a constant neutral position, Leo himself, even inside himself, hardly feels something. He tries to learn to be more emotional again, but it's all extremely difficult. Even the moments when he can smile visibly or bring back the sparkle in his own eyes are a big win. Leo has also become more violent, he can kill anyone who tries to harm him or his loved ones. The guys have changed too.
Raph is indifferent to Leo's negative actions, he also did not care about other people's lives, he has become the right hand and for the most part helps to structure the actions of the team. It's hard enough for him, but he tries to control his actions and feelings. He is afraid of losing his brother again.
Donnie has become more aggressive than ever, sometimes he spends time around the clock with one of the brothers, and sometimes it is not seen or heard for days. He rushes from one extreme to another due to stress, as well as the fact that he cannot do anything for Leo to make him feel better.
Mikey has become a little quieter, he is still energetic, but sometimes he can sit extremely calmly and not utter a word, going somewhere in his thoughts, it still happens due to stress. For the most part, it is Mikey who is engaged in the emotional background of Leo, trying to encourage him to constantly answer certain questions about what he feels for this or that object / memory / person / etc.
Parallel
The simplest in theory ay. It has three endings: good, bad and neutral. The events take place after the 2012 series. The guys get stuffy in New York and decide to arrange a change. The first to leave Mikey's lair, seeking to explore the world and leave his mark. Later, Raph is in a team with mutanils, who do not have a clear plan for where to go, but they are like free birds that can go wherever they look, the last one left Donnie, who least of all wanted to leave, who least of all wanted to leave, but he was extremely interested in visiting other scientific complexes of the world. Only Leo of the Turtles remains in New York. The events take place in the future after all, where Leo Sensei has 4 children. Elder Michael, son of April and Casey (17 years old), pseudo-twins Ti the tigress and Wukong the monkey (16) and the younger lizard Kori(15).
Leo raised the children on his own, Michael came to him by chance and the desire of his own parents, because of this, sometimes Casey is jealous that his own child is closer to Leo than to him. Leo rescued the twins from a freak circus, where children were forced to perform for the amusement of mutants and humans, and Kori Leo found one in another part of the city, abandoned and aggressive towards everything (Kori did not tell for a long time why he was so wild, after 10 years, he reveals to Leo that he was a lab rat who escaped but was pursued by a second obedient guinea pig who always treated him with aggression). The name au originates from these children, who are so similar to his own brothers. Michael on Mikey, Kori on himself, Ti on Raf,and Wukong on Donnie.
Endings: The plot goes on the feet, which have a new leader, and Karai was displaced again. 1) Good - Nobody dies, Raf, Donnie and Mikey wedged into history after disturbing messages. 2) Neutral - Leo dies before the guys have time to return, he protected the children. The irony is that Leo dies exactly like Splinter, and the children are going to take revenge like they did in the past. 3) Negative - Leo and his students, including, do not cope and die. The guys were late.
Tumblr media
Во вселенной TMNT у меня есть множество различных ау.
Данные три ау касаются TMNT 2012 года и у каждой из них есть своя небольшая,может с сюжетными дырами,но история.
В скетчевом варианте здесь представлено три дизайна Лео:One of four(OFF - Один из четырех),Atrophy(Атрофия) и Parallel(Параллель).
Хочу подметить,что на этих трёх вселенных у меня багаж из разных выдумок не заканчивается,а так же в этих трёх мирах разные временые промежутки от событий сериала.
(И ещё маленькое замечание в мой город,у меня очень скачет стиль рисования черепах и до сих пор я с ним не определилась)
One of four
Кратко: события в данной вселенной происходят после гибели братьев Лео,он остаётся единственной черепахой и растет с грузом вины на плечах. С ним какое-то время был сенсей,но и он погиб после всего произошедшего. С момента гибели братьев прошло много лет(если быть точнее,около 10,когда они погибли,ему было 16). Он стал жестоким и почти безэмоциональным, единственные знакомые с кем он общается это Эйприл и Кейси. Эйприл стала более исскустной в собственным магических силах,а так же изменилась характером после всего, Кейси казалось бы не изменился характером,но он тоже стал жесток,а так же потерял руку и родных.
Atrophy
Кратко:Лео попадает в плен после одной стычки и проводит там определенное количество времени,после чего когда его спасают выясняется,что Лео не может проявляться как-либо нормальным образом эмоции. Его лицо находится в постоянном нейтральном положении,сам Лео даже внутри себя с трудом что-то чувствует. Он пытается научится снова быть более эмоциальным,но всё это крайне сложно. Большой победой является даже моменты,когда он может ели заметно улыбнуться или вернуть в собственные глаза блеск. Лео так же стал более жесток,он может убить кого угодно, кто пытается навредить ему или его близким. Ребята так же изменились.
Раф испытывает равнодушие в негативным поступкам Лео,ему так же стало плевать на чужие жизни,он стал правой рукой и побольшей части помогает структурировать действия команды. Это тяжело достаточно для него,но он старается управлять своими действиями и чувствами. Он боится потерять брата снова.
Донни стал более агрессивным чем когда-либо, порой он проводит круглосуточно время с кем-то из брат��ев,а порой его не видно и не слышно сутками. Он метается из крайности в крайность из-за стресса,а так же из-за того,что не может сделать что-нибудь для Лео,что бы ему стало лучше.
Майки стал чуть более тихим,он всё ещё энергичен,но порой он может крайне спокойно сидеть и непроизнести не слова,уходя куда-то в свои мысли,это всё так же происходит из-за стресса.По большей части именно Майки занимается эмоциальным фоном Лео,пытаясь побудить его постоянно отвечать на те или иные вопросы поводу что он испытывает к тому или иному предмету/воспоминанию/человеку/и т.д.
Parallel
Самая простая в теории ау. Имеет три концовки: хорошая,плохая и нейтральная. События происходят после сериала 2012 года. Ребятам становится душно в Нью-Йорке и они решают устроить перемены. Первым покидает логово Майки,стремясь узнать мир и оставить свой след. Позже Раф в команде с мутанилами,у которых нет четкого плана куда идти,но они как вольные птицы,которые могут пойти куда глаза глядят,последний покинул Донни,который меньше всего хотел уходить,но ему было крайне интересно побывать в других научных комплексах мира. В Нью-Йорке остаётся только Лео из черепах. События происходят в будущем после всего,где Лео Сенсей 4 детей. Старший Майкл,сын Эйприл и Кейси (17 лет),псевдо-близнецы тигрица Ти и обезьяна Укун(16) и младший ящер Кори(15).
Лео воспитывал детей самостоятельно,Майкл попал к нему по воле случая и желанию его же родителей, из-за этого порой Кейси ревнует,что его же ребенок ближе к Лео,чем к нему. Близняшек Лео спас из цирка уродов,где детей заставили выступать на потеху мутантам и людям,а Кори Лео нашел одного в другой части города, брошенного и агрессивного ко всему(Кори не рассказывал долгое время,почему он был таким диким,в последствии Лет в 10,он рассказывает Лео,что он был подопытной крысой в лаборатории,которая сбежала,но была преследуема вторым послушным подопытным,который относился к нему всегда с агрессией). Название ау берет начало с этих детей,которые так похожи на его же братьев. Майкл на Майки,Кори на него самого,Ти на Рафа,а Укун на Донни.
Концовки: Завязка идет на футах,у которых новый лидер,а Карай сместили вновь. 1)Хорошая - Никто не погибает,Раф,Донни и Майки вклиниваются в историю после тревожных сообщений. 2) Нейтральная - Лео погибает раньше чем ребята успели вернуться,он защитил детей. Ирония в том,что Лео погибает в точности как и Сплинтер,а дети собираются мстить как и они в прошлом. 3)Негативная - Лео и у его ученики в том числе не справляются и погибают. Ребята опоздали окончательно.

"Burley monkey."
"Sniveling weasel."
The two women were measuring each other down, obvious dislike toward each other visible in their eyes. Despite the two women being quite similar in mannerisms, likes, and dislikes, the small differences were the ones that had caused the sparkle of annoyance between them. What had been at first just small, almost nonexistent things, had expanded into ridiculous measures, causing finally the upcoming confrontation. Some people had already seen the signs in the air for a long time, so in a way, this was a relief. But as other people were witnessing this argument that started at first extremely coolly, they soon realized their mistake upon hoping this argument would come and thus clear the air: it was becoming really quickly very ugly.

I wanted to try out a one-color style, where you basically draw a character and use only one color...I think those are usually really interesting but also describe some strong emotions. Thus came this picture.
My character Olivia and Olivier are quite similar, yet because of that they also clash quite easily. (Yet they secretly respect each other lot.) I only actually realized this when I did RP with my friend, so this wasn't at all planned. 😅 It made me think what would happen if the two would meet face-to-face and somehow I and my friend did go through it, yet I still believe there would be alternative possibilities...but in the end, it would come to that they would somehow end up into Briggs for bear hunting while Olivia would complain about the cold (she doesn't like cold) and Olivier would tell her to suck it up, which would somehow result to taking whole Central by the blast. I don't know...I can totally see them conquering things while having heated arguments, yet still telling others to 'shut up! Don't intervene!' ...I'm kind of feeling bad for other people who would try to stop their argument...kind of.

Week 9
I had made a story for a game because of the game design course I'm taking, but the story got a LOT more complicated than it needed to be. This was fine because I knew it would be easy to scale it back (as opposed to having too little and suddenly needing to try and make up more story elements). And I got invested in creating the world of this story. So I had a few concept sketch ideas for characters and the main points of the story flushed out in a certain game-centric format (the story was formed around certain video game level ideas that I had). But last night I was sitting on the couch trying to think of what to do for my prototype when I realized I already had an idea that I was really interested in and that the story was applicable to my capstone idea. The ending theme of the story was that the monkeys and aliens can live on earth due to the efforts of past humans and a smaller theme in the story is the aliens making the earth a safer place to live (for themselves, but it also benefits the monkeys). Branching from my topic on appreciating serendipitous moments, I thought about how the kindness you show to others can become a form of deliberate serendipity. So my topic before had been thinking about promoting the idea that you are able to appreciate serendipity, but this week moved to be more about that you are capable of creating serendipity for others (through kindness).
The rough draft, sketch drawing of a comic I made for this week:

If I were to continue this prototype, I would trace cleaner black lines over this and color the pages (full color, or just shades of gray with pops of color, etc) and then develop it for web or for print. Just the few pages I did make ended up taking WAY longer than I thought they would even though I was working efficiently.

Reflection
This week was the first time this whole semester I've actually been excited to work on the assignment for this class. This is also, unfortunately, not an exaggeration. And I don't recall being particularly exited for anything in Creative Studio 2 last semester either. It's been a long year.
Historically, stories have been a medium that I've been interested in. I'm hoping this story has enough movable / develop-able parts that it can continue to keep my interest because I can bounce around to different aspects of it in order to keep my attention.
Lana's idea in class about changing the visual style of the comic to match the story was interesting. I just wanted to jot that down here so I wouldn't forget.
I can foresee this project taking many different mediums in the future, but since I sort of did a comic this week I will reflect more on that. I enjoyed creating the comic and think that even with zero layout planning, the pages I finished for this rough draft still turned out pretty visually interesting. And the characters I chose aren't too hard to draw. However, if I were to continue this I would really need to budget my time better. I was just having fun making pages yesterday, but after a few hours my wrist started hurting and my hand went sort of numb; both of which were quite unpleasant.
