#which is the objectivly better name

[boiled-bronze]

I keep forgetting I can post here too

I have been getting really into Rain World recently, more into the characters and fan content than the Actual Game which is a bit weird I think but whatever, it brings me joy

So I decided to do some "original" designs for some slug cats, and by "original" I mean "copying-details-and-ideas-other-artists-have-done-before-me-and-mashing-them-together"

First, the Spearmaster

I didn't really like this one that much, it looks a bit too human to me I guess. I made them skinny since they don't have a digestive system and, like, I imagine that the nutrients they absorb are just what they need and nothing more, so I imagine they wouldn't have much body fat (?). I also added spots to their face and back, similar to freckles, and pointy spear-like whiskers, both ideas I saw and copied from other artists' drawings and thought it was cute. Don't know if I'll keep this design in future SM art but at least I had fun doing this

Next, the Rivulet, my favorite scug!

There is not much to say about this one since it's closer to what they look like in-game, I just added freckles too and some details to their tail

I haven't drawn any kind of background like these in literal years, so for these being the first time in a long long while, I think I did a good job!

That is all for now, more Rain World content is surely coming

could i possibly request some caregiver! gideon graves with regressor! reader??

Hi!!! This is for you and also for 2 (i think it was 2!) other anons who've been asking for cg gideon!! MY HEAD'S SO FULL I HAVE SO MUCH TO SAY that's my cg right there!!!!!!!!!!

Caregiver! Gideon Graves

Gideon knew that you age regress since the day that you met. Yes, he's looked into your head, yes, he's evil, but he had no intend of harming you, surprisingly! He rather found it.... endearing.

Warm, fuzzy and innocent, something that needed to be protected, something that needed to be taken care of. Good care. The kind of care Gideon was sure he could provide.

He didn't push it, of course, but he knew how to drop hints that he was very willing to be your caregiver.

He'd stick in an occasional 'Darling/Sweetheart' here and there, buckle your seatbelt for you, take you by the arm when crossing the road. Little things to show that he Knew, and he was Willing To.

Then, he gave you a stuffed animal, which was an official start of your caregiver and little relationship. Gideon Graves was your daddy now.

Baby C.E.O! Daddy's little helper! Gideon doesn't like leaving you alone, so he designated a special spot in his private office just for you, when you can do your own 'paperwork'.

Worksheets, he prints you a lot of preschool worksheets to keep you occupied while he answer emails and reads documents. He thinks it's important for your mind to be stimulated.

That's also why Gideon asks you a lot of questions about colors, letters, and animals, and other things to keep the cogs in your little head spinning.

He also takes you with him when he goes to supervise one of his many projects or facilities, with a condition that you won't run off and try your best to be good.

He's a strict caregiver -- the rules are there to keep you safe and happy, and Gideon's serious about them. He's the type of caregiver who sometimes gives light punishments; like a short time-out.

He is also insanely rich, so you get absolutely spoiled. He sits you on his lap, opens Amazon and just tells you "go crazy, little one, we'll get anything". You have an enormous collection of gear, toys, clothes, etc.

And Gideon's a show-off as well, so he got you a customized pacifier and onesie with his logo on it.

Due to the fact he's on work duty 24/7, he sometimes gets overtired and falls asleep while putting you to sleep. He apologises afterwards, but you don't really mind.

Gideon gets very invested into cartoons you're watching, and starts overanalyzing it, making you giggle.

You'll be watching Blue's Clues, and he'd stand behind you for 2 minutes, looking at the screen, and then he'd go "oh, that was totally a Kant reference". ....no it wasn't!

His go-to petnames is "Darling" and he also gives you a nickname based on your name

If you give him a piece of art that you've made, he'll examine it thoroughly, point out all the details, and ask a lot of questions, also praising you and saying how this drawing of a cat is "objectivly better and more tasteful than most of the drafts my visual designers send me"

Yesssssss please do a rwrb/nick sideblog. It can just sit there for when you want to use it. I love your opinions

I don't assume people's sexualities at all, but the way Nicholas Galitzine talks about Henry of RWRB (from interviews) is the exact same way Kit Connor used to talk about his character Nick Nelson from Heartstopper before he forcibly had to out himself online. He's said he enjoys playing characters that have an internal struggle though (which are most of his characters, including his queer ones) so... Just throwing some food for thought.

The funniest thing is that Nick plays Harry in a film of the Harry fan fic The Idea of You where the Harry character is 19 and falls in love with a 39 year old woman, who in the film is played by Anne Hathaway. All very het but it was filmed last year so should be out soon on Amazon.

Hi, fellow Nick stans!

It's good to know that if i were to make a sideblog i would have at least one follower! Noted. I think i'm going to hold off a bit for now (ask me again when bottoms starts streaming i need an outlet that is not this blog). He might still turn out to be problematic (i highly doubt it), so i'm just a casual fan for now (at least that's what i'm telling myself lol).

Thank you for the food for thought. I've thought this too. There are many small things here and there he's said and done, or how he reacts to things and so forth that made me go 'huh...'. At the same time he's talked openly about ex gf several times, but never about a bf. He might be bi or pan and/or it's a simple case of closeting for career purposes. He might still be straight, but the more i see and the more information comes forth the less likely i think it is. If he's actually straight i think he must be very secure in himself and his sexuality. The way he sees and talks about queer things, feminism and toxic masculinity is very mature and he's very informed on these topics. His respect for women, his respect for others boundaries and his refusal to keep to stereotypical gender roles is more than i've seen from any other celebrity. It's also very unusual to see in a straight man.

Anon about tioy. I know, check out my anne hathaway tag for my reaction to the news. I was so disappointed in her. I have very strong opinions on the het harry fan fics made into film. These films are enforcing his het womaniser image and helping to closet him. And it's so wrong when you know he's (most likely) forcibly closeted. He can't do anything about these movies, since it's based on fan fic and not him. And people are going to see Nick as playing Harry even if the character has another name. When i went to see barbie i got the trailer for the next aft*r movie. The urge to boo in that full theater was strong. It makes me so god damn angry at the world (also larry fics are objectivly so much better than het fics, why aren't we getting a movie based on that?).

As i've said before, i hope tioy comes out before george and mary so people quickly forget about tioy. I think some part of nicks fandom will treat tioy as they did purple hearts. I'm grateful for that. I hope when he gets more known he'll get offered better and less problematic roles, still as diverse, but less controversial and fandom splitting.

DAY 7.4

Still taking requests here! Novki is @s0tc​​ ‘s and Azred is mine

They weren’t really from the same clan, they didn’t exactly go to the same classes, but they had met before, and quite on accident. Azred was running from the Jedi tasked with leading them towards the spot they’d meet with their Master. But that sounded boring and he wanted the day to do more important stuff, so he ran, he hid, he ran some more, and more, until he made it back to the Temple. Winding between the corridors, switching between them to throw the Jedi teenagers off his path, he finally burst into one of the small meditation rooms that should have been empty but instead a little boy was there. Mirialan, light maybe platinum blonde hair if not white, startled and frightened by his sudden appearance. He ducked to the side, hid in a corner under a desk and held his finger up to his mouth.

“Shhh! Please!” he said and tucked himself in further. After a moment he flicked his hand, waving him off in some way, and hopefully telling him to go back to normal.

The boy didn’t quite seem to understand but when the pair of Jedi burst through the door, demanding to know where Azred was? He didn’t even look this way before saying a soft “i don’t know.” The Jedi looked between each other and hurried on, making the door shut behind them.

Azred took the chance to crawl out from under the desk.

“Thanks! You’re a real life saver!” he grinned but the boy didn’t seem convinced.

“You’re not in trouble, are you?” he asked tentatively. He was some years younger, not by many though, he surmised as he could now take a better view of him. No, he wasn’t blonde, he just had white hair. Hm!

“Me? No! No ... no, no, no, I just - “ didn’t feel up for dealing with more things he already learned back on Coruscant “ - was really bored of lessons today. Do you mind if I hang out here for a while? I promise I won’t bother you a bunch. Pinky swear!” Azred presented his pinky out and the boy looked at it hesitantly.

“What does that mean?” a question that earned a dramatic sigh from Azred.

“It means that, like, no matter what, I’m not going to break my promise to you. Or it breaks my pinky? I don’t know it’s just a thing, but I super promise, okay? My name’s -” a sigh “- Azred’vyst Tal’zayor. But you can call me Azred!” He grinned and presented his pinky.

“Mine’s Novki Suyl Boutros, but you can call me Novki,” he introduced himself. That was a good start! He extended his pinky and Azred did the rest by hooking it.

“Well, Novki! I’ll just meditate over there and just like, not bother you at all! Thanks for covering for me, buddy,” he said with a laugh in his voice. “Unless you want to, like, hangout? Where are you from?”

Which started hours of conversation and subsequently years of friendship. Where Novki was a kind, generous, spirit in his life, he added some much needed splash of adventure - or so he’d like to think. It was just such an adventure, and skipping another day of classes, some years later that landed them in one of the many ancient ruins that were just littered around Tython for one reason or another.

“There’s probably a story here,” came Novki’s softly amazed tone, “do you ever wonder what the old Jedi were like? What they accomplished?”

“Sometimes,” Azred replied distractedly as he started climbing over the ruins instead. He pointed up, amdist the ruins there was a singular, moss covered tower up on a hill. “Hey, let’s get up there. I bet there’s some interesting stories up there to be discovered, huh?” Azred reached down from his spot atop a second level of an ancient building. There was a hesitance but soon after he grabbed his hand.

They spent the whole of the next hour climbing, helping each other up with the Force as well as just hand over hand, climbing in tandem up the face and along the edges of the tower. There were destroyed stairs and floors that actually held their weight where they could rest, catch their breath, have a bit of lunch they had “packed”, and look over the honestly breathtaking engravings on the inside of this tower.

A whole day of actually learning from Jedi of old, sort of. There were half-measures, half-lessons, but either way, it seemed more valuable than anything else a Master could currently be teaching them. What did they really know, anyways? Nothing in comparison to ...

“What’s that say?” Azred hung off of Novki’s shoulder and planted his chin on his shoulder. He wasn’t as good at all of this as he was and was generally all right with that.

“Just something about some Jedi Mahara- something. Poet, artist, and oh, um, might not actually be a Jedi now,” Novki flushed slightly with collar and Azred had to grin.

“Well you said he was already considered a Jedi - so whatever it was he did, they didn’t take that away from him, right?” Azred reasoned with a shrug.

“Guess not. But you still don’t think of Jedis as... “ he let the sentence trail off but from the nervousness to the flushed cheeks - Azred could figure out what he was on about.

“Oh! Oh ... Ohh!” Azred blushed a little as well but cleared his throat. “I mean ... Knights who come back from service are kind of, they kind of-”

“You’ve seen them?” Novki broke away to turn and stare at him.

“Some of them! And they sneak in vids that have couples, you know ...”

“What?”

“You know.”

“No. Know what?”

“Kissing.”

“Oh!” Novki replied with a sudden glance back to the scripture on the wall. Was it just him or was the air suddenly a little heavier? He looked to his friend and looked away when Novki glanced to him.

“Um, come on! There’s still a bit before we reach the top,” Azred mentioned and Novki nodded and quickly followed suit. Ten more minutes and they were seated at what must have the very top of what must have been a lookout tower.

“They probably had some light or a beacon in here,” Novki mentioned as they let their legs dangle off the side, sitting right beside each other.

“A signal to light the way back. Not a bad idea, maybe it gave some of the old Jedi hope, something real to look at and know they were going to be home soon.”

“Is this finally home for you, Azred?” Novki said and Azred had to pause. He spent so long being resentful of this place, hating it because it wasn’t Coruscant. But, well, Coruscant was never coming back, and for all it’s drawbacks Tython was objectivly better in just about every way aside from how secluded it was.

“I guess,” he sighed.

“You’ll feel it one day, I’m sure of it.” Novki assured with a little bump of his shoulder. They looked out over the treetops, the moutains in the distance, and the massive waterfall that had to be miles and miles away which fed most of the rivers around the Temple. The wind picked up and Azred looked to his friend, his kind friend, who sometimes he felt was way too nice to mess with someone like him, who skipped lessons and caused a ruckus.

“Hey ... “ he leaned in. As Novki turned around to face him, he kissed him right there on the lips. He felt and heard the surprise from Novki, a gasp in his throat a sniff of air through his nose. But he closed his eyes, tilted his head, and tried kissing him like how he saw those Knights kissing each other, how he saw those couples in the vids kissing, like he imagined that old Jedi to kiss. If they did it, so could the two of them right? It must have only lasted for 10 seconds but it felt like ten hours before he pulled away, cheeks burning, and both of them were wide eyed and a bit bashful.

“Sorry... “

“No, it’s fine. It was okay.”

“Yeah?”

“Yeah, but we should probably ... go, right? It’s getting late.”

It took them the whole climb back down, arms and legs on fire from the use, and panting before he even allowed himself to think about what he did. Meanwhile Novki gestured at him to get his attention.

“That was ... that was nice, by the way. I don’t know if we should do that again but, you know ... “

“Yeah! Yeah. I know,” he paused and just fixed his hair a bit, before he cleared his throat. “Nice for me too, by the way.” He dared to smile but at seeing how flushed Novki was he immediately lost his nerve and dissolved into nervous giggles. “Let’s go home.”
