Hmmm just gonna spit this headcanon out in text post form since A. I don't think I could exposit it well enough in image form and B. It's not actually textually/thematically substantiated and I don't like actually staking my stuff on just vibes alone*

But anyway. I'd say it's pretty evident that all the islanders forgot their names, right? King obviously. Because why the hell else would he do that, but also Siffrin No Middle Names No Last Name.

They're 'pretty sure' they've 'always' been 'Just Siffrin' 'as long as they can remember'. It's a pretty cruel twist of the knife to say that they don't even get to keep their birth name as a memento, which is why I'm saying as such.

My utterly unsubstantiated claim is I think it'd be cute to say that Sisyphus *is* the name Siffrin initially picked, assuming the myth of King Sisyphus is recontextualised as idk, just a play or something in the setting. But I like the idea of Siffrin going 'oh shit 🫵 he's just like me fr' at a tortured fictional character long before the irony kicks in.

As for how Sisyphus -> Siffrin. I think that chronic mumbler and emotional doormat Sif just did not correct people who misheard the name during their time travelling, and went through enough places with incompatible phonologies (pronounceable sounds in the language) without ever really writing it down that it just got kinda. Changed until it was unrecognisable, and Siffrin just went with it until the earlier pronunciations slipped out of their swiss-cheese brain. And they just kinda don't remember any of that.

Also, something something the horrid realisation that Siffrin also named themselves after a King. Just not as blatantly.

*(though I think there's something here about Siffrin, a guy from a belief system that seems to thoroughly disincentivise autonomy and self-motivated choice continuously having their hand forced to make changes/choices they don't want but have no choice but to... It's not solid enough to really back this up tbh, but it informs it.)

Anyway.

To me Agent Stone represents that small shed of humanity Robotnik has left, the one he denies but can't seem to let go of. That irrational attachment and desire for companionship.

And I think Sonic 3 will put that humanity to the test.

I've had Ludovicas girlfriend on the brain for months and finally sketched her out. I see her as the opposite to machete in that she has dark colours and softer shapes. Her ears and facefur kinda blend together and she gets big soft browneyes..

One other reason why I'm more inclined toward Buck & Tommy? They understand each other's line of work, but they are NOT working in the same firehouse. They WON'T be constantly attached to the hips all day at work and outside of work. Just like Hen, Bobby and Chimney do have their significant others outside the 118 firehouse, I would prefer for Buck to have a significant other outside the 118 firehouse, too. Remember how Hen basically said Buck doesn't have anyone outside the 118? That's a potential difference and improvement Tommy could make for Buck.

Belated Vere birthday art…but it's drawn by my Hound OC, Alon.

Alon: Vere did a real bang up job with those birthday portraits, I reckon he deserves some nice art for himself, too. So for our favourite foxy's birthday, I drew him this! Ta-da! *presents to the others* Leander: Oh! :D ...Who is that? Alon: It's Vere! :D Leander: Oh. Ais: ... Ais: Why is his ass on fire? Alon: Wh—That’s his TAIL! D:< Mhin: Is he...strangling a fish? Alon: No! He's enjoying a nice glass— Mhin: Of fish? Alon: A nice glass of fish-free fruit tea! Kuras: I can't deny the demon horns suit his character, but I doubt he would appreciate that specific exercise in artistic liberty. Alon: Those are his ears! D: Kuras: ...Ah. Mhin: Then why does he have three of them? Alon: And that's a party hat—Y'know what? None of you appreciate art!

*later, presenting it to Vere*

Vere: Why is my ass on fire? Alon: That's—! *defeated sigh* 'Cause you've got a smoking hot ass.

Been stressed over finals! So as a break and as a way to calm myself I drew Shen Qingqiu (Jiu)!

[sketchy-tour]

I know hardly anything about Moral Orel (except for a couple small things from a friend who LOVES it)

But the guy you drew (Reverend Putty?) looks cool! I'd like to see more art of him, if you ever make it I mean

YOU DON'T GOTTA TELL ME TWICE-

I kinda love how the moment Leo got his dual wield katana back, he adapted so much more naturally to his teleportation abilities.

Not to say he didn’t come around with the odachi, but it was pretty clear that he struggled hard with the mystic properties of it, and I think that it’s partially because while the odachi itself is a portaling tool that seemingly most anyone can use, Leo’s innate mystic abilities call for something to work with him, not for him.

So it makes perfect sense why his katana, made from himself and more in line with how he naturally fights, finally allow him to seamlessly grasp his space warping abilities to the extent he can.

The thing is that every other iwtv character makes me want to weep and wail and pull out my hair and write essays of character analysis whereas lestat mostly makes me want to clap my hands like a seal that just watched someone slip and fall on a banana peel

(WIP) Music Monday Tag | Tagged by @simplegenius042 and @la-grosse-patate

The rules: Post a song that is relevant to your WIP or inspires it. I’m also including the lyrics.

You know you did it on purpose, prayed on all fours I watched you whine at the sky so it hurts less Devoured by desire It's the fate of life Oh, you don't want it? You're a liar Isn't it fun? Isn't it nice? Feeling the rush, feeling the high You wanna touch, you wanna bite Just understand you're mine Know the fate of life And I could give you time So you wanna be a god? You pray for power in the dark Don't mistake this for an omen This is your chance to be chosen

You’ll be starving soon, baby Just you wait I’ll watch you lick the bowl’s bottom as you finish your plate Loving someone you hate, loving someone you hate It’s dog’s dinner, but isn’t it great? Couldn’t anybody anyone get used to the taste? You’ll be starving soon, baby

You see right into me I feel the vines around me grow You linger in my body Echo in my bones Giving me so much more than I have ever known You're the earth, and I am the air

You make me braver, feed the anger It only takes me higher Under pressure, I shine brighter I roar like thunder, got that hunger You can't pull me under Smell the smoke, I'm getting closer I burn just like a fire And I'm not going, I'm not going down

Swallow my tongue Back of my throat Like it's finite Only so long I can chew till I choke Hide in plain sight What have you done, my rabbit, run Caught in the head lights I guess my blood's running coldеr

Happy Birthday Yakou! 🚬💙🎉

The best roommate, mentor, boss, father figure and caretaker Yuma could ask for💕

I had to try to make something for him. I’ve grown to adore him almost as much as yuma as I kept putting them in various scenarios the past half year.

(its kinda for both of them since their birthdays are only a day apart from each-other??)

So yeah, birthday cuddles for them both~ 💜💙
