Today feels like a good day to tell you all I worked on a circus themed production of Julius Caesar where Caesar was pied to the face instead of being stabbed
#the cast pied me on the last day#which was like sweet and funny for a bit#and then i was in clothes that smelled like rancid whipped cream and it was much less cute

i always feel bad when i see how the point of a lot of saiki's personality traits flew right over the heads of a lot of fans due to him being an unreliable narrator and a tsundere lol.. so a lot of things he says are immediately proved to be untrue and often just him putting up a front, but some people dont pick up on it..
like i see a lot of "haha saiki would never want to watch a romance movie" guys there is an entire chapter (170) dedicated to him being like "i much prefer mysteries to romance stories.." and then immediately becoming absolutely enamored with a romance story.. he was lying, guys, LMAO
less specific ones include:
"i hate children, they annoy me" *goes out of his way to help kids, comfort them, be kind to them, etc.*
"i only use my powers for self gain/my own convenience." "anyway my mama told me to never use my powers selfishly so i always use them to help people and i try my best not to use them for personal gain<3"
"those guys are so annoying, i would never hang out with them willingly." "yeah it took them about two sentences to convince me to go with them. their thoughts seemed like they really wanted me to go, so i did. i didnt want them to be upset. not that i care about them or anything."
(sorry i post about this kind of thing a lot, i just giggle a lot at how the entire manga is so easily misinterpreted and thousands of people have watched the show but didnt pick up on the main characters most defining character traits and frequent bits.. i think there needs to be a masterlist or something disproving all the extremely common misconceptions about saiki k lol)
#not hating lmao its just silly#i once saw one of those 'how saiki k characters would drink their coffee' posts and for saiki it said 'black coffee'#and i giggled#what do you mean you think the guy who only smiles during really sweet moments or when hes eating sweets would drink black coffee#thats so out of character but they obvi were just going by personality which u guess is funny#that mf prob would make homemade pumpkin spice lattes drowned in sugar and creamer and whipped cream and sprinkles#hey genuine question to people who watched the anime this way: how was it still funny ?#him being a liar tsundere unreliable narrator is often the MAIN bit.. like in EVERY chapter..#did u only pay attention to the silly mini jokes within the episodes and those were somehow still enough to make you love the show ?#or like.. what was it ??? IDK I GENUINELY DONT GET IT#saiki k#tdlosk#the disastrous life of saiki k.#saiki kusuo#meows post#meownalysis

this has been a roller coaster of a design journey but finally I can present you: class swap artificer!adaine and rogue!fabian
#dimension 20#fantasy high#fhfy#fhsy#fhjy#fabian seacaster#adaine abernant#fh class quangle#goodbye... goodbye hoodie kid adaine..... we have mecha pilot/power armor adaine instead#I couldnt really land how she'd get a hoodie reliably in freshman year given the abernants pattern of confiscating shit from her#so I kinda switched gear and dug a bit into a like sukeban aesthetics instead. and since shes with the AV club I like the idea of#like a radio coord thing for her. hence the suspenders#I fully admit the sukeban thing is influenced by the hacker woman in ghostwire tokyo who I have a small crush on#she's SO cool. too bad about a number of things with that game#the jacket of useful things is a racer jacket this time bc Im predictable like that#her ensemble in junior year is her tank top + overall it might not be clear enough in the pic...#just had the thought ''man I should do turnarounds for all of them'' and immediately had to slap myself out of it#anyways uh! fabian I have inflicted with my favourite thing to do to characters who like to stealth or fly under the radar#which is Bright Extremely Noticeable Jacket That Hides Your Hands#fabian's ghost motif has led me to the famous horror movie trope of silhouette with iconic jacket from afar#(see Sinister and Alice Sweet Alice)#and I love to imagine him hanging the coat up somewhere and opponents aiming there instead of at him#but also the raincoat is specifically modeled after the yellow fisherman's raincoat#and. that led to. me thinking abt fabian pulling riz up at that cliff with a net instead of the battle sheet lmao#so his junior year design is fully Fishing. which is so fucking funny it has obliterated all other possibilities from my brain#ranger flavour: captain ahab#I still debate making him carry around an actual fishing rod tbh. right now Im giving him a rifle grappling hook thing#gods. I just think High School Classmate Suddenly Gets Way Too Into Fishing is the funniest fucking thing that can happen#thank you fabian. thank you for giving me this. love you buddy#still blanking on kristen but! throughout this whole storm here I've realised I just need to fuck around

(about cr2 rewatch again) i litrally love tmn so much i will frow up. theyre so good. the cast are so good at embodying them. they dont sound like people trying to be characters sm of the time they sound like just (weirdo) real people it makes me crazy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
#theyre so funny . theyre so real . theyre so the girls.#cad and fjords interactions are going to make me explode the admiration. the gentleness. the warm hug of the wildmother through cad#just like. through the way he talks . the comfort . the vulnerability fjord trusts him with (im deeply unwell abt this)#dont even need to say this but man taliesin is such a good actor T_T like soo committed to the bit. jester bought pastries and passed#them around to everyone and immediately he's talking like he's eating the cupcake at the same time as talking#also lol cad being like 'its vry sweet. hmm . hrmrm mrm'#also got to the bit when cad walks around eating fungi garnish off peoples plates <3 his swag#the way in which hes so odd and gentle and joyous and kind but theres that odd little lingering loneliness in there too . whatever. dies.#kiddo say

insuline & nicotine flirting is just antoine initiating by saying something insane about étoiles unprompted (i.e. “your ass is driving me crazy and i need it”) and étoiles responding on the same wavelength (i.e. “your knowledge of world capitals is like my ass, you’ll never forget it”) . truly the fun part of it all is seeing the evolution in how antoine would just do this without any big reaction from étoiles for a while until étoiles just started clapping back and being just as insane unprompted
#my source for this is the mk8 vods . early 2021 antoine who kept yapping about etoiles’ bol tibetain with no big reaction from etoiles .#and you cut to today 2024 and etoiles is bringing up how obsessed antoine is with his ass unprompted#a recent example of étoiles returning the bit is when they were playing mk8 and he got hit by a green shell antoine had on his back#and he said ‘damn i got got by something hanging out of antoine’s ass it reminds me of our parties’ which . yeah love that#very funny bc it managed to flustered antoine too . PEAK interactions between the two is when etoiles claps backs so hard even antoine’s#like ‘???’ . another example of this is another mk8 stream where he said antoine’s so sweet we should be able to buy him at a pastry shop#*fluster#HOWEVER ! it is always very fun when étoiles initiates as well . that one clip i included in my first compilation where he just says antoine#looks very fuckable out of nowhere#jay rambles#insuline & nicotine#étoiles#antoine daniel#obviously I’m normal about them

supernatural s1e13 route 666 (w. eugenie ross-leming, brad buckner)
swamp diving for a corpse laden racist truck, totally normal💁♂️
will he stay or will he go part 8 of ?
#supernatural#spn 1x13#spn gifs#supernatural gifs#sam and dean#mygifs#dean winchester#sam winchester#spngifs#willhestayorgo#i cut that first gif because i wanted to make sure i got enough of him playing with that rubber band to be identifiable#now that's a natural way to have him fidget! figure that's a jared one anyway. take it over ott hammy fidget spinner every day#funny little journey this conversation had. diff pacing-sam kind of jumps in quickly to complain again and puts dean on his back foot a bit#(shades of the worry over sam hating the life and just waiting to finish the job and get away?)#i'm not sure what they were going in last-i am of two minds about it: either it's like ugh swamp diving smiles or ridic conversation smiles#like they can share a laugh over it being ridiculous and that sam did the same thing he just complained about and dean can look v sweet#or ha ha it's cold and wet and we gotta get In The Swamp which sam is whining about and dean's smiling over - which is more what script had#(but thank goodness they didn't have to film it because it was snow/raining and clearly quite cold)#because ugh miserable. i think the draft script did have them wading in there to hook up the tow line to the truck

hey
#so i've been dealing with some irl stuff recently#nothing too bad. it was just really frustrating and exhausting for me. and really putting a damper on my mood and my art#and i'm sorry if i've been acting a little weird or not saying too much or anything#or if i've been kinda inactive for the past few days#but i'll be okay!#i just wanted to let you guys know what's been kinda going on#i'm slowly working on something really sweet involving Hugo and Noa. so that's been making me feel better#i need something happy and soft between them lol#also! I've been playing The Quarry recently!#the writing is kinda stupid and almost all of the characters act like they don't have a brain. but that's what makes it so fun!#and i'm pretty sure the devs did that intentionally. to make it seem more like a campy monster flick#i'm really enjoying it so far! the werewolves are really cool!#also it's really funny to me how they just pop like balloons whenever they're transforming#i thought it was gonna be a slow transformation. but no. their skin just immediately explodes off#and then they somehow get it all back when they turn back into humans? idk how that works but it's pretty rad#also also! the thing with the tarot cards is really cool!#i missed a lot in the beginning because i didn't know what i was looking for#and the fortune teller lady in between chapters kept getting mad at me for not finding any#but i eventually started to get it! when the game decided to really put one in my face in chapter 3 lol#and the thing with the tarot cards representing the different characters in the game got me thinking about what card Noa would probably be#i think Seven of Swords would be right up her alley#because it's associated with deception. dishonesty. betrayal. and acting strategically#and it could also signify self-deception and confessions. which is all very true for her character#aaahh now i wanna make a tarot card design for her!#but that's an idea for another day#anyway sorry for sorta rambling a bit#i hope you all are doing okay

#im not kidding btw this was the moment in the autobiography that completely sold me on casey#my sweet cringefail girl. yes casey that's a great nickname well done#//#heretic tag#brr brr#the more i think about it the more i do have reservations about recommending the book as an intro to casey#like i think you kinda need to... i'm not saying watch ALL the races (maybe) but you need to spend some time in that time period#and THEN you read the autobiography as a bit of a corrective. extra context. but the guy in those pages is a toned down version#you can come away from it thinking he's mostly quite a normal guy which is obviously an incorrect conclusion#you need to do some close reading and go into it with a lot of context and readiness to fact check to really get the most out of the thing#i clocked the luminous yellow thing as kinda funny on the first read through but googled the gp11 on a whim and was like. hold on

1,3, 4, 24 and 25 for Kyrahlise and Blade for the OCxLI OTP asks!
When I saw your ask I had to do a double-take, because I figured that you’d ask about Kyrah and Chase! But Kyrahlise and Blade are fun too! And so frustrating before they get together, lol! Now, without further adieu, here are the answers to the Romance Asks *dramatically gestures towards the answers*
1. What drew your character to their LI and vice versa?
Blade was drawn to Kyrahlise because she’s kind, hardworking, always trying to do what’s right, and keeps improving her combat abilities and magic. She also acts like she feels at ease around him and teases him. (Which gets to my headcanon that he likes it when people aren’t afraid of him and act normal around him.)
Kyrahlise was drawn to Blade because despite all he’s done and seen, he’s still very kind and considerate. Also he’s incredibly fun to tease! He respects her abilities and knowledge, and she feels safe speaking her mind to him because he gives what she has to say due thought. What seals the deal is in Chapter 4 when he’s so angry about what happened to her. It’s been a long time since anyone has given a shit if she were safe, or wanted to protect her.
3. When they are having a fight, what is it about and how do they deal with it?
The number one thing these two would fight about is Kyrahlise feeling like Blade is overprotective of her, and Blade feeling like she is too independent and reckless. Once Kyrah understands just how scared he is of losing her, and that he needs to know she’s safe, she’s going to take a long hard look at how she acts. She’ll agree to work on making her safety a higher priority, and communicating better before she runs off. When Blade realizes that she feels a little stifled and like he doesn’t fully trust her, I’m sure he’ll agree to reign in his protectiveness to some degree. Of course it’s something they both have to work on to find a balance, but they will eventually.
The silly thing about this argument is that she likes that he’s protective, and he likes that she’s independent and wants to tackle problems! They just both think the other takes it too far.
4. Their favorite physical feature on each other?
According to Lena, romanced!Blade loves MC’s eyes, hair, and lips (or just face in general), and we know he’s into a nice butt! I change my mind regularly as to which is his favorite, but right now I'm going to say her eyes!
Kyrahlise loves Blade’s smile! It fills her with joy to see him happy and relaxed enough to genuinely smile. She has an internal ‘got the stoic, ex-assassin to smile’ counter! Overall she thinks he’s a very beautiful and handsome man, but his smile is her favorite.
24. Is there any moment that happens between them that you know happens and just makes you melt?
One time Kyrahlise sat on Blade’s lap briefly as he’s working to tell him something and give him a little kiss before getting up to read. (He’s a head taller than her, so she uses whatever she can to make it easier to kiss him!) But Blade doesn’t want her to go, so she’s like “fine, I’ll just read here” thinking that he’ll eventually get tired of her sitting on his lap. (She severely underestimates how much he likes having her close, lol) But he’s warm, and she feels very safe and cozy, so she falls asleep. Since he doesn’t want to wake her up, he stops working. And he’s probably having a hard time not staring at her because he thinks she’s very cute!
25. Share any headcanons about their relationship.
As soon as Blade lets her, Kyrahlise starts cutting his hair. She secretly thinks his haircut is atrocious. Though once she gives him a better haircut she realizes she played herself because now he looks even more handsome! (Kyrah’s been cutting her own hair since her mother died. Most people can’t be trusted to cut curly hair right, and she’s a touch vain about her hair.)
They trade books of poetry with each other and then talk about which ones they like and why. It’s like a little book club with just the two of them!
Blade’s office stops looking quite so bare, because Kyrahlise makes him some art to put up. If anyone dares to criticize it or make any disparaging remarks about it in his presence they get his death glare!
#I really like Kyrahlise and Blade together because they are sweet in private but publicly they are a power couple#funny thing is Kyrah never sought out power but now that she has some she's going to use it to make positive changes!#but before that they are dumb! under normal circumstances she's dense and thinks “there is a platonic explanation for this”#so Blade's odd behavior removes any chance of her understanding how he feels about her!#it's very much an “unrequited requited love” kind of situation that makes me want to yell at them both lol#romance asks#blade bronwyn#oc: kyrahlise niriviel#shepherds of haven#shoh#sorry it took a while! the PTSD has been acting up more the past few days which made it hard to concentrate enough to answer#if this is a bit of a garbled mess that's why

Huh... there are a lot more changes to the 'f-f-friends' scene than I thought!
Mostly dialogue getting shifted around and streamlined but the most interesting change to me is that in the original the 'f-f-friends' line happened towards the end of their heart to heart but there was additional dialogue about MQ's talk with Jun Wu and MQ's final line was how he's glad to find out that XL doesn't hate him.
In the revision the 'f-f-friends' line is actually the last line. And leading up to is the part about Jun Wu and also how MQ struggled to believe that XL was really a good person and finally admits that he is
#the biggest change is that since the ghost inn was cut MQ found out about Cuocuo's father through Qi Rong#shouting about it from the heaven rooftops apparently#it's still a very sweet scene either way and I like both versions of it T_T#I think the revised version does flow really well (and yeah i can see what people mean about meandering in the original)#but there were a few cut exchanges I'm a little sad about#i feel like xie lian is sassier in the original#tgcf#tgcf revised version#mu qing#(also side note going back and forth between the mtl and the 7S ver i feel like 7S is a bit over overedited at times#other things of note hc feels a lot meaner to mq in this ver#which is funny to me because mq’s worst moments were either softened or cut#and I’m generally not a fan

this wee fluffy one, who you often find just 👁️👁️ staring into your soul from behind
went and hid in the bedroom while i was practicing my flute tonight lmao roasted
#sotd#god he’s so funny we agree he’s the most delightful being in the house#see seven is always plotting scheming etc in plans that always consist of#‘im gonna fuck _____ up rn’#constantly trying to manipulate us to give him what he wants at any moment right. could be anything#whereas simon is like#playing complex 5d chess. he plots and schemes in ways that are much more complex and less straightforward#truly a surgeon where seven is a bulldozer#but the only thing he’s ever trying to achieve is to have a door opened#seven is like always trying to cause some new chaos#and then simon is like. aha i have a complex plot to request this door be opened#today he motioned very energetically to the dog waiting to be let back in from the backyard. tried to open the glass door for him and all#and when i obliged and let the dog in simon then ran over to the garage door#which he’s been squeaking (because he squeaks. he doesn’t meow) for me to open & i was purposely ignoring#fully like ‘you opened the door for the dog ergo you will now open a door for me’#he’s so goofy and he’s so fluffy and soft and sweet! bit odd that he is also the politest lil mastermind!#but god. he really does just Lurk lmao what a weirdo. i love him so much

the nsbu table is five DM pets and rekha shankar
#not art#nsbu spoilers#← tag mostly for the following tags lol#regarding the post I Am Colloquializing For Joke Of Course but its just funny to see how#everyone is like so sweet and enthusiastic and playing and frolicking in brennan's sandbox#and rekha is heckling him at any possible venue. everyone else is a camper rekha is his shounen rival#like jacob is bringing his full earnestness into playing the character#and alex constantly reaches to pieces and people in the environment and other players to reveal extremely compelling dynamics#and ify is doing next level engineer shit on the worldbuilding he is straight up gonna get a good grade in isekai#and ally is extremely willing to take any hit to keep the banter flowing and the ease with which they and brennan bounce ideas back and#forth is astounding#and izzy is like. she's Hysterical I fucking love paula so much but there's that moment in the latest ep when jack manhattan shows up#and she Immediately breaks out of paula to do the fucking face and beat perfect jack manhattan and you kinda realize oh she's just#really fucking good at acting and she's beinging it 110% to the table#man. nsbu is just good lmao#I call rekha brennan's shounen rival but truly like that person hacking move was awesome she is as invested in the world as everyone else#but that dynamic really got her to shine the way it sets up the shirt throwing bit was straight up a jjba duel#like brennan entertaining her request and letting the whole table forget about the speed of the car before reminding them#by breaking g13's wrist. like beat for beat a shounen fight it's the best#and it heightens when rekha then does something fucking awesome#its good. its just really good. I really enjoy nsbu guys

Idk if this is kinda random but i think a Wanted AU could be interesting, Thena is intimidating and doesn’t talk a lot just like Fox, and Gilgamesh is a little funny & little quirky gentleman just like Wesley☺️
Gil sighed as the bullet just barely clipped the edge of Wilbur hanging from the ceiling rack. He set down the weapon, trying to stand against the weight of Phastos' glare.
"Still?" Ajak asked with her hands on her hips.
Gil scrubbed his hand over his face. He thought he had made great progress too. He wasn't getting his ass kicked by Ikaris nearly as much, he was getting better at his agility training with Thena running on the trains. He had even caught that stupid shuttle.
Thena eyed him. She didn't say much, and what she did say was usually to berate him for being too soft. She was quite the opposite. She was hard and sharp and polished. He never saw her in the recovery baths.
Well, he did once. She had climbed right out, even looked at him as she did. He had gone right back underwater, red as a beet. He was pretty sure all she'd done was laugh.
Thena looked at Ajak, nodding her head. Ajak may have looked faintly surprised but nodded. Thena walked lazily away from their table.
Gil looked between them, his blood already running cold. His head whipped back and forth, "n-no, I-I-I can't--this is-"
"Curve the bullet," Ajak ordered.
"No, I-I can't, I'll-!" Gil looked at where Thena was standing in front of their trusty shooting dummy. She looked at him evenly, as if there were no question he would make the shot to the target directly behind her. A shot he had yet to get close to.
"Curve," Ajak repeated, "the bullet."
"You're insane," he snapped, but everyone was just standing there. He looked at Thena again, "I won't!"
She just looked at him. She thought he could do it.
He gulped. What if he failed again? What if he grazed her? What if he full on shot her?!
Thena was the only one who had been even remotely nice to him. Well, maybe nice was a stretch. But she had been tasked with training him, and when everyone else seemed determined he was a dud, she had kept working with him.
She had taught him to keep up with her on the train roofs, taught him how to navigate Ikaris' beatings and Kingo's target practices. He had even learned about the story of her past, and that the tattoo on her back helped reclaim the skin scarred and burned from the man hired to kill her father.
Thena was, for better or worse, his only friend here, in a lot of ways.
"Shoot around her," Ajak pressed, revealing more of the side of her that really scared him. "Or through her."
He stared at Thena again, though. He couldn't take that chance. Training was one thing, but he refused to be responsible for sending her to the recovery baths for something as serious as a failed shot.
"Gil."
Everyone looked surprised as she spoke. The Fox didn't speak much, after all, unless it was to tell someone they were being a hindrance to her.
But she looked at him without a hint of worry. Her eyes were so pretty. "Take the shot."
"But," he floundered, sounding like a little kid about to piss his pants. But he couldn't--he just couldn't. What if he hurt her?
"You'll be fine."
Gil let out a breath. He could do this. Thena believed he could do this. And this was after she had watched him get the shit kicked out of him, by everyone here including herself.
"He's ready," she argued to Ajak, who remained relatively unmoved. She was vouching for him (with her life, at that). She had every faith that he wouldn't let anything happen to her.
This from the woman who told him not to trust anyone or anything.
Gil took a few rapid breaths. He looked at Thena, her blonde hair, her pretty green eyes, the fall of her shoulders. She was relaxed. He picked up and fired in the same motion, twisting his wrist as if he were throwing something.
They all watched as the bullet flew, rustling through Thena's hair on its way past her. She didn't even blink, waiting until the sound of it hitting their target behind her let her smile. "See?"
Gil panted. He couldn't be as sure as her, but he had managed not to hit her. That was good enough for him, for now.
"He is ready," Ajak finally agreed, having witnessed the evidence for herself. She chuckled, though, attending to other matters calling her name. "He'll have his first assignment within the week."
Gil watched everyone else leave, only he and Thena remaining. "You didn't have to make yourself a target."
She smiled, and he could almost imagine she was proud of him instead of just amused. She sauntered back over, swaying her hips to show her humour. "You hit it, did you not?"
"You seem awfully sure I would," he grumbled as she returned to his side.
Thena looked at him, settling her hands on her hips. She was such a little thing for being an assassin. But the Fox specialised in bladed kills. She didn't need to physically out-muscle her targets. "You have all this pressure built up inside of you. From the moment I found you, I could see The Sight in you trying to escape. But you repress it so firmly."
Gil shrugged, dragging his finger along the edge of the table. She had a habit of making him act like a boy around his first crush. "When you're a big guy, you make people kinda nervous. I don't want anyone to be scared of me."
Thena's shoulders loosened further, maybe even seeming to drop. "You're sweet, Gil. And I don't mean it in a good way."
Of course she didn't. He sighed; he wasn't exactly unfamiliar with being scolded around here for being a normal dude.
"You're soft, and the rest of them," she nodded towards the door, indicating her comrades--people she had known for most of her life. She frowned, "know it. And they'll feed off it, if you give them the chance."
He raised an eyebrow at that. They were like family here at the textiles factory, he hadn't expected there to be dissent between them.
"Let out some of that pent up pressure," she concluded, patting his shoulder on her way to also go about her day. "I would love to see you give Ikaris another thorough beating."
He had enjoyed that.
"Look at your old life, maybe, see how far you've come," she shrugged, turning and walking out the last few steps backwards to look at him. "I seem to recall you had a girlfriend, disloyal as she was. Perhaps some breakup sex would help you blow off some steam."
Oh yeah, he hadn't thought his girlfriend - actually, it was probably pretty safe to call her his ex at this point - since...since meeting Thena.
He blushed, and he heard Thena laughing about it all the way down the stairs.
#Thenamesh AU#thank you for the ask!!!#I hope it's okay it might be a little bit different#but I liked the movie!#it's funny and crazy and it had a lot of stunts for Angie which is always great#Thena is very strong silent type like Fox#and she would take Gil under her wing#because he has such a heart to be good#and I think she still thinks about what life could be like before becoming an assassin#also I almost wrote this as the scene when she comes out of the bath#because sweet Gil would just avert his eyes#she walks over like you have to get over that it's a communal bath room#Gil: *refusing to look at her* okay#because he's a sweetie#also listen I don't know what kinda girl cheats on Gil either but this is in the movie so#I also considered writing the scene when he goes back for some stuff#his old girlfriend starts chewing him out for literally disappearing#and having enough of listening to him being shit talked#Thena walks in and kisses him#oh the possibilities

i was trying to make up side characters for @8um8le's space friends and thought "every show needs a grump"
i'm not gonna finish this though, so y'all can have it now o7
#2024#in which crown gets hogtied lmao#stellar city#sc space friends#sf hills#sf crown#sf roach#you might be thinking 'ezra there is already a bug character' to which i say: i like bugs there are never enough bugs#i wanted roach to have a hat that keeps his face in permanent shadow bc it makes him look angrier and more menacing if just a bit#it's also silly thinking like… he looks tall compared to the boys but he's probably only like 5'5'' at best haha#i think it'd be funny if roach was like jarringky kind to everyone other than the main boys#like he takes his hat off and holds it too his chest and does a lil bow with a sweet smile#and the boys are like wtf you only hate us??? and yes yes he does#man… i have never drawn more comics than when i started hyperfixating on sun and moon that's so wild#actually i think almost all the stuff i've drawn since that started in sept have made me so happy#feels like my love of art increased tenfold it's insane#and that love feels the most prominent when i'm just… doodling other people's au and oc on here lately yknow?#so much joy packed in that even if they never see it: this was just some normal person's little world that i get to visit for a little while#that's so special to me#anyway that's probably too much introspection for today so!#thanks for reading these tags if you did :) i hope you all have a lovely day xoxoxo
