pervy!könig being absolutely crazy about reader sunbathing/tanning. no thoughts. that’s it.

anon #2: i saw a tiktok about like guys loving tanlines and i feel like that is SO pervy!konig like i know he has a thing for them

pervy!könig who blushes when you catch him hovering over you, smiling with your eyes closed while you teasingly complain about him blocking the sun. he can’t tear his gaze away from the sight of your soft body glistening under the bright rays of light, your little bikini clinging to your curves while his own pants begin to cling to the one he has filling up in his boxers. you’re blissfully unaware of his perverse gaze, eyes closed in content as you soak up the sun, ignorant to the fact that könig is trying to imprint the image into his memory to jerk off to later. which is why when he asks to reapply your sunscreen for you, you don’t think much of it… and he promises the hard thing nudging your ass is just the bottle in his pocket, häschen.

if you’re someone who gets tanlines, he doesn’t know what to do with himself around you until they go away. eyes constantly honed in on the temporary outline of your bikini straps that are exposed through your strapless top, disappearing into your cleavage. it’s art — the way the tanned skin dips into a lighter shade, it’s like your body is teasing him, taunting him with what he can’t see. and his mouth waters when he pictures how cute you must look without any clothes on, your breasts and pussy highlighted so prettily, stroking his cock to the image until his vision goes blurry, the silky material of your bathing suit bottoms wrapped in his fist. he tries not to be greedy when he thumbs at the outline on your shoulder during conversation, hoping you’ll take pity on his yearning gaze and let him see underneath.

“Thirsty?” She spouted spontaneously, holding out her arm to him with all the grace and charm of a plank of wood. - You Mocha Me Blush, Paulina POV Pink Astronaut oneshot on AO3

“Ghost boy,” Paulina wheedled, trying to get his attention. “It’s not going to hurt you.” 

“Phantom,” he corrected, lighting a hand with his signature, green magic. It blazed like an alien sun. “And I appreciate the thought, but if being trapped counted as self-care, do you think I would look like this? Don’t answer that. I’m going.” - The Summoner's Sleepover, Paulina. POV Pink Astronaut multi chap fic on AO3

fionna and cake comic I was enjoying had dark/complicated lighting for the first few chapters and then in the most recent chapter the lighting changed to super neutral normal lighting and. dude.

canon simon skintone colourpicked directly from his reference image vs the colour the artist chose for him in their comic.

is it really that tricky to see that he has brown skin? how can you watch every episode and somehow go ah yes. he is white. how does this even happen I do not understand!!! I'm genuinely just perplexed!

he spends 90% of the show standing next to fionna, who isn't even that pale but is still VERY pale in comparison to him!! I just can't wrap my head around it.

sumeru makes me so mad cus so many of the designs would eat down with darker skin but nooooo at most we got coffee with extra extra extra extra cream for the playable characters. i truly hate it here

[opens-up-4-nobody]

The burden of traditional art is that sometimes my pens run out of ink 😭

[orpheusilver]

can i be critical of black sails' writing for a second. for a show thats typically very very good at creating depth for even minor characters, 90% of the black characters are super fucking shallow

I'm looking up skin color names to describe this character's brown skin and like everything for a darker brown color is calling it espresso. God, I'm making this man a little lighter to golden brown because I can't find another word for the darker brown skin tone than espresso.

For some reason, whenever I try to push myself with a piece it always ends up covered in blood. Sorry, Tatyana. Or reincarnation of her. Not quite sure which.

The Sketch

[angorwhosebabyisthis]

so recently i decided to roll the 'what will my human!pericles look like This Time' roulette again, only this time in color for once! it's always itched at me how his design looks like a totally different person before and after the timeskip, having been through the wringer aside, so i thought i'd take a shot at combining my interpretation of the two. (the creators pretty obviously took cues from his voice actor for his present-day design, and it's been fun to draw on that too while still keeping the design my own.)

i mostly like how it's turned out, as far into it as i managed to get before i had to take a break and my executive function stalled out; i kept putting off posting it, meaning to come back and finish it later, but i finally decided to go ah fuck it i'd rather it be out there unfinished than disappear into my sketch folder forever. or get fucked up by my trying to continue it while Not in the Groove, especially given how difficult the painting tools i've got available are to wrangle with. Sometimes You Just Gotta Call It

there's a lot of things i'm eyeing to hammer out more next time--i can never seem to figure out what the hell to do with his hair, for one; for another they did a great job at getting across 'babyface that has become aged/haggard' with his designs, and that balance can be difficult to nail when the art app i use really brings out the Everyone is Soft and Babyface in my artstyle. it's a real bastard, but i liked drawing him with this brush a lot and i'm looking forward to working it out more if i can.

the upshot of this is Lo, Cunty Grandpa Be Upon Ye

hii sarah ! could i ask u to share links for some of ur fav heathcliff fanarts / ones that u think depict him rly well ? i just remembered u said that ur rly particular abt how ppl draw his hair & i love hearing how ppl personally view their loves compared to the original material 🙇‍♀️ (@dmclr)

Ough ... I unfortunately don't have links for everything, as I don't have a Twitter account, but I do really love how @/cinnabee draws him!! Here and here are a couple good examples of their art! I also absolutely adore the way @/drybloode draws him--I have so many of their Heathcliffs currently in my drafts, but a couple favorites are here, here, and here! Some of the BEST Heathcliffs I have EVER seen, though, come from @/2L9l2Aa8UCL0IGJ on Twitter--being this one, this one, (apologies for the Pinterest link--it's all I could find ;;) AND this one. The artist also drew a phenomenal Shi!Heathcliff, but I unfortunately can't find a link to him ... (EDIT: My friend Carmilla found him!! He's right here!)

I'm honestly most picky about how people draw his hair and his scars, but also I'm very particular about how people color him--if he's whitewashed or ashy, then the art is automatically not good. I'm honestly still trying to figure out my preference when it comes to coloring him, but as long as he has darker skin, I'm happy.
