the way henry looks at alex

[aeliem]

i always think of the bad guy sanses with red for some reason (and sometimes without horror?). just noticed he does not belong. like at all.

they all think they're so much better than all the others when they all suck it's hilarious

(and yes i am using the worst versions of them i have in my mind, and basing this off my headcanons plus somewhat (emphasis on the somewhat) exaggerating their flaws for comedic effect, i don't think this is exclusively who they are every time i draw them)

Honestly at this point starting to feel I've managed to miss Jason's characterization while he was alive because he really really does not and has never seemed especially angry to me, but the comics are trying to hammer it in so much, it's like all they mention is his anger and impulsiveness and his death but like??

I can never remember jaybin (<-is that what we call jason robin for short?) being like that, certainly not to the extent they're always saying, to me his anger wasn't that much, and it pretty much matched with batman's, it wasn't greater than anyone else's, and it just felt like general new hero anger, I cannot stress enough just how off all these flashbacks and talking about him feel wrong to me

Do you have any more ideas on how sans (swapfell red) were like as a kid?

if not that's okie :)

No no no... I do; I very much do!

SFR!Sans, as a child, was such a handful...

It's not because he wasn't disciplined; Not because he was seeking attention; It was literally his Soul desiring to follow what he was made for.

In my verse, he was literally made to become a cold killer.

Unlike Russ, Sans was only thought up of as a mere second thought; Nothing much was processed besides; 'Back up plan 2'

Gaster in this world, was aiming to take the Royal Scientist River's spot. He seeked with anger, jealousy, greed... He aimed with malicious intent; Which both boys gained, but sadly San's had the main blunt of it.

So after things were said and done; Both Papyrus and their adopted father, Lizando, fought fang and claw to settle Sans however they could during his toddler stages. He was a terrible; Literally scratching and biting everything and anything up. Toys, books, his own adoptive Sister, even Russ & Li themselves.

Sans bit so much, they actually invested in a special muzzle for him...

Occasionally, they found Sans killing small creatures... After they saw how gleeful he was about it, gaining small amounts of LVL with it, the two took the steps to correct it. Sans was gaining psychotic tendencies neither one wanted to have...

Sans showed the desired signs Gaster had originally wanted; Up into his young tween stages. He was gifted more than Russ with the killing and no remorse senses. Sans' soul was a dull dark grey when he was a baby; Something so rare for a monster child, even in their realm.

Thankfully with a General as your adoptive Father; Safe to say he had more ways to help Sans target this--... Oddly aggressive behavior in a more than healthy way.

│Sans was taught early how to wrestle; He adored to and rough house with his siblings. He really enjoyed doing it with Papyrus since he'd always hurt Alphys too much. But as Russ got 'lazier', not wanting 'to play', Sans turned to Alphy and going easy for her, in order to get her up to 'His Level'. │Learned how to control his strength at that stage; But when really upset, he has gone into a blind rage. │After the blind rage from his 5/7 age range, where a toddler was much easier to handle, and realizing he had actually harmed the ones he loved; That woke up Sans own internal thinking and realization to become someone better. Hasn't had a blind rage since that day. │Sans was always praised for things he did accordingly; And at first, he reacted negatively to it all... Hated the praise! But as time went on, he slowly enjoyed it.

Still, Sans learned the language of swearing, cussing, and everything else from Russ' friends. He would curse like a lil'sailor, not caring who was around. That stopped when Sans found a better role model, even if for a short while.

Once he gets into his teen stages; He really starts to even out and has the goal to become a General, like his 'Father'. Sans has called him as such, and has the dream to becoming a Duo General with Alphy's.

Alphy's and Sans have always battled since; Be it sparring together, simple sibling rivalry, or even a simple discussion. Those two were the best of friends and shared many likes and teased the other for their dislikes when Russ was no longer available and Li got killed.

But still, Sans was a lil'troubling with how eagerly he wanted to kill and rip anyone apart if they so much as showed him their eyes.

An extremely messy draft of moving the births around for the 1st arc. Subject to change.

The number is the relation of moons in comparison to the birth of Firestar. For instance, Cinderpelt is 7 moons younger than Firestar, changed to be born a moon after he joins ThunderClan.

Some cats have notes of their planned mentor. For instance the four starting Thunder apprentices (Fire, Sand, Gray, Dust) all receive the major four litter (Cinder, Bright, Bracken, Thorn).

Scandalous relationship Arthur/Micah:

"I'm sure I won't be disappointed, Mr. Van Der Linde"

They meet at a restaurant,

"I tell you Micah, the boy got talent. As beauty is always important in our kind of job, the boy proved he can act much better than every actors or even actresses we got!"

Micah chuckled, lightened his cigarrete then shook his hand, threw burned match away. He took a long drag on his cigar then huffed the grey, thick cloud out through his nose. Hummed

"I guess we have to wait 'n' watch, then"

Dutch laughed, hand moved to pat on Micah's shoulder "you'll see my dear friend, I'm telling the truth when I say you'll love him once you throw just one look at him"

Micah smiled "you talking too much, old man" the two laughed together when someone cleared their throat, interrupted them to get their attention "excuse me, gentlemen.."

Micah turned to him first. Bulky, blonde, blue eyes and big, square jaw bone. Overall a pretty creature, a young man, was looking right back at him.

His heart skipped a beat, by the look in the other man's eyes Micah guessed he felt the same too_ "ah! Arthur! Right on time!" Dutch smiled, he got up to shake Arthur's hand, extended a hand toward Micah "here is mr. Bell one of my best friends. He liked to meet you, you know son, he's the biggest producer in this state! "

Micah chuckled "now Dutch..you're just exaggerating"

Dutch laughed. He turned his attention to Arthur again "here's Arthur Morgan. My dear, beloved son who followed our family occupation in cinema. We're so proud of him" then with a lower tone added "me and Hosea" like a proud father smiled kindly to Arthur.

"Mr. Bell" Arthur held out his hand for shake, smiled politely to Micah. "I heard 'bout your reputation, saying you're the producer of many famous movies."

Micah shook his hand and three men pulled chairs to sit around the table "you flatter me, mr. Morgan. I should say I heard about you just enough. Say you're the best in your job"

Dutch excited, said "oh he is! His teacher was the best director of whole world"

A waitress brought the food they ordered as Micah asked Arthur "I'm here for a job suggestion. The one you'll never reject. You'll be famous in less than two months and the money, well I pay everyone who works for me very generously."

Arthur lifted his glass of wine to take a sip, blue eyes behind thin rim looked at Micah. Micah felt he needed wine himself really badly, his throat was saddenly too dry.

"You working on a new project mr. Bell?"

"A new movie. The project is big enough to be risky. my financial manager said we putting real big money in this one and I want the bestest of bests to play in my movie."

Arthur smiled, he put his glass down "and exactly what made you to come looking for me?"

Micah said "you may don't know it but your reputation is more extended than what you think. Mr. Van der linde here is one of my old friend so when he heard I'm looking for new actor, he suggested to come and see you"

The corner of Arthur's lip went up, like a teasing smirk. "And…?"

Micah felt he's sweating under the collar "and apparently with what I heard and see I have to say I'm not disappointed for this travel"

Arthur nodded. Kind smile turned back to his handsome face "well I'm glad to work with your team, mr. Bell"

Made a custom brush for the first time and tested it out on some sketches of my original characters!

Upper left: Ady (babey) and Rurik (tiger man)

I haven't done a proper design for those two yet, but they're pretty important supporting characters in the first part of the story so I knew I needed to do something to start

Lower left to center: Kai, Red, Blanche and Coal busts

It started with Red tbh, and I knew I had to include the rest of the gang

Lower right: Interaction sketch

Early on in the story, Kai definitely finds Red mildly annoying at best. Red definitely is aware but he kinda thrives on being a little shit so he's constantly nudging Kai's buttons. Blanche, on the other hand, finds Red really interesting after the initial antagonism so she just likes watching the way he interacts with people (though she does have her moments when she has to duck out of the way to not get caught in his whirlwind)

Upper center to upper right: A brief conversation

I decided very early on that Kai was designated Smart GuyTM even though Red is pretty smart in his own right. I has this particular exchange rotating in my head for a few days before I drew it here, mostly because I knew it was gonna be an excuse for me to exposition without feeling too arbitrary, since Blanche doesn't know much (relatively) and is likely to ask questions for backstory reasons
