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.

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..

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.

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.

The birthday drawing:

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-

You don't understand how much this stupid old man makes my brain buzz aaaaaaugh!!!!!! He's so stupid so silly so pathetic. This dang SHOW.

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

Shanks always said that if the path to what you want seems too easy, then you're on the wrong path.

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~ 💜💙

C: "You okay, Yak?" Y: "Is doc here yet?" C: "I heard he's almost here. Take it easy." O: "You need to work on your concentration now, Yak. The match is about to begin. Focus on the match for now. Understand?" Y: "Yeah, I know. But... can I have a moment alone?"
