Happy Birthday Hiro Vanderveer!
"Oh gosh, this really is just like in the movies! What a spectacular day, thanks everyone!"
The encouraging entertainer of Scarabia is celebrating his special day today! There's a huge party at the dorm, and everyone's going to be invited! Why not stop in and celebrate with him?
Hiro's bouquet is made up of water lilies and lily pads, magnolia, a type of mum that I saw referred to as a "Kermit Button", and some long deep green swamp sunflower leaves.
----
I did some experimenting with this particular card art - only his face and flowers are hand-drawn; everything else is edited together from the texture atlases and card art in @alchemivich's archives (thank you and we hope you're enjoying your "retirement"!) It was an interesting way to build a card, not sure if I'll do it again though, haha!
#drawn#sprite edit#twisted wonderland oc#Hiro Vanderveer#oc birthday#happy birthday frog boy#yes he has the same bday as jim henson :-)

i've been dead and gone bc of school and jobsearching and everything happening all at once but ive been playing the boktai series games lately and i'm enjoying it a lot. I just got past the third boss in boktai 2. I don't know why but i'm enthralled with these games, i highly recommend them
#WOE TEN THOUSAND TAG MUSINGS BE UPON YE (this is a warning)#boktai#(pointing) the battle network fan has fallen for the crossover marketing 20 years late#the first gif is bc i imagine the bosses waiting all polite like for django to finish eating healing items when heal scumming in fights.#twenty apples a day keeps the damage away#django is like a son to me hes just a little guy#if the text is hard to read in the third image it says “The tick damage in sunlight brothers”#i find it funny that vampire django still gains his energy from sunlight after turning. his voiceline changes too#it's hard to tell if it's bc hes supposed to sound gruff or like hes in pain. but it makes me feel bad for recharging energy like that#i figure he'd be wound up abt this since it seems he views any connection to his father with a lot of weight#(e.x: zazie pointing out he's crying just after the gun del sol got stolen at the start of 2)#hence why he's depressed in that image#also all the official art of him looks very cool but im incapable of seeing him like that his sprite makes him look like a scruffy dog#im torn between thinking it's cute nd wanting to make fun of him with doodles. least typical vampire appearance with the most typical power#the way you kill immortals (vampires) in this game is so metal i need to rant abt it Somewhere#so like boktai is a game series abt vampire hunting but it's rather sci-fi abt it. instead of more typical weapons you use solar energy#the immortals resurrect after being killed#but this can be prevented via purification. the way this goes is#after winning a bossfight the enemy will get sealed in a coffin. that you then to drag allll the way back outside the dungeon#(often with new puzzles thanks to the coffin being an extra weight)#all the while the immortal inside tries to escape#the objective is to get the immortal to a. summoning circle i guess?#housing devices called pile drivers. they're more like lenses or mirrors though.#they focus sunrays on the coffin purifying the immortal after a brief fight that's like#preventing the boss from attacking the pile drivers until it dies#like. this doesn't sound all that special but most bosses you fight are sentient and i just think it's a bit of a brutal method#for a main protagonist to use#i keep thinking of how it must feel to do it for a living. something like a funeral driver but you're the murderer and the corpse isn't dea#and instead of a funeral you're taking them to a mega death laser array that'll slowly chip away at their health#and then boktai 2 inflicts that on django and im like. is he ok (he's ok but he died)

Still trying to decide in my mind whether there’s any significance to the fact that hatted ralsei has been showing up more and more in the newsletters or if it means Absolutely Nothing
#and it can’t be pre ch1 bc susie has her eyes uncovered…. is he gonna put it on again???#not to mention the last hat ralsei sprite also had the fucking. flower.#and THIS one has all the weird inconsistencies we’ve come to expect from him. why does the heart look more like a dagger or smth at this#point. why is he dark blue. am I just going crazy waiting for these chapters (yes)

Ngl I always draw Anton taller than Jazz (more noticeable in my style, smaller height difference in the promo art style) but on occasion I DO think about him being shorter than me. Standing behind him wrapping my arms around his neck and resting my chin on his shoulder. If you care.
#the creator of the game himself has called him both little and giant so whatever. he's any height.#usually I think of him as Big. very broad and a good few inches taller than I am.#but sometimes I look at his actual in-game sprite and it's like. oughh he's little guy... squeezing him like a stress ball...#still very broad but also kinda squat...#yes there was that tweet where they said he was ''5'6 tall and 5'6 wide'' but I do not believe it. I think that was a bit.#he's 6ft ish to me#unless we're using the promo art style. then traditional measurement isn't real and he's ''slightly taller than jazz'' (no numbers/units)#roz posts#♡: 🔨🎰🥃#s: it's happy hour

AAAAAUUUUGHHHRRGHHH CHROME HARD CRASHED ON ME AND I LOST EVERYTHING. i can never make a tumblr post without being inturrupted.
*mario voice* OK AUTISM TIME
i made some new ocs for cody and wanted to refine his artstyle!! yknow, make it more real!! and this is what i (or HE) came up with :3 i think i like this more than the original
these are the characters he plays the most in Oaksage, basically the MapleStory of this realm. he grew attached to them and eventually formed lore for these guys outside of the Oaksage world itself. they're a group of incompetent space pirates that suck at their job but get things done against all odds <3
i will have to put a liittle bit more detail in their THs but honestly i don't really NEED to.. this game and these characters are gonna appear only so many times within the actual story. but i still want to... i love little meaningless little details that only i will pay attention to <3
oh also! the last page of his sketches features a guy i haven't uploaded on th yet! it's name is Cheese :3 it's not actually *from* OA, he completely made up the design, however he just really wanted a silly mascot for his pirate gang to have! he likes drawing it a lot. silly weature enjoyer <3
#HOW DO I TAG THIS#there must be other people who make ocs for their ocs right#ngl cody i don't want people to think this is MY artstyle :/ i mean it technically is but. like. cmon. *insane asylum patient*#i mean i already explained that its within his style but yknow only so many people read descriptions#anyways i'm working on the canon sprites of these characters within the game!!!#i'm almost done with the first character and i really like how its coming out i can't wait to post them all when theyre done :3#i forget how fun pixel art is#art#digital art#oh he made this in a program names Splash 2004 btw!1!#yes i downloaded macromedia flash 2004 just to draw in his artstyle <3 I HATE IT. ITS FILLED WITH RIDDLES AND RUNES#it also crashes all the time#ok uhhhh.#yeah idk#he has more ocs but he hasn't finished them yet </3 CMON DAKOTA CHOP CHOP!!! this is all your fault

i replayed turnabout trump again for like. the 5th time i think??? god its such a good case
#ace attorney spoilers#i literally cannot get over the foreshadowing that only really hits when you play the case again with full context of the game in mind#'is this your idea of revenge for what happened 7 years ago'#kristoph projecting 'settling an old score' onto phoenix when that was actually HIS motive#also just the fact that phoenix and kristoph here were basically divorcing in court in front of everyone very bitterly BDKHKAD#also how kristoph's sprites are slowly revealed over time#you go from only seeing his normal ones to suddenly the one where he has his hand on his glasses#then the one where he looks up kinda evily and then the twitchy ones the hair in front of his eyes yadda yadda#they did not have to start this game off with such a banger of a case but im so glad they did#also yes i have played this case specifically 5 times though i should say i have not played apollo justice itself in full 5 times (yet)#the first time i played it i was emulating the game on citra but did not get past the intro to turnabout corner on there#the second time i got the cartridge for christmas and played through the game in full#the third time i started to replay the game only a week after beating it the first time (i don't remember if i made it to the last case)#the fourth time was another replay attempt but i stopped at turnabout serenade#and the fifth time was just today where i intend to replay the rest of the game in its entirety again#i am very normal about Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney (lying)#anyways im gonna make sure i actually make it to turnabout succession this time lmao#i dont think ive gotten to that case since i played the first time and i wanna see kristoph's final case as well as see vera again....#turnabout serenade is always about where i stop when replaying the game#i didn't mind the case the first time i played the game but now its kind of a roadblock to me#turnabout trump is great and i love turnabout corner!!#and then there's serenade... but then there's succession!!!!#anyways NDKABDKJD#also don't get me wrong i like serenade just. not as much as the other cases

⋆˚。⋆୨✧୧˚ 𝑶 𝑪𝒂𝒑𝒕𝒂𝒊𝒏, 𝑴𝒚 𝑪𝒂𝒑𝒕𝒂𝒊𝒏. ˚୨✧୧⋆。˚⋆
CAPTAIN CURLY SMUT HEADCANNONS !! NSFW under the cut. MDNI.
(These are all completely random, not tied to any prompt. I just want more stuff about this guy cuz I love him) Fandom/characters: Mouthwashing, Captain Curly, other characters briefly mentioned.
Content warning: Smut (obviously), p in v, curlys packing, title kink, thigh-riding, face-sitting, size difference, manhandling, reader is AFAB, creampie, multiple rounds, riding, cursing, J*mmy.
-He's a grower, not a shower.
I firmly believe Curly is a distinguished gentleman, unlike J*mmy who would most likely brag about how big he is and end up only being like, 5 or 6 inches. Curly, however, will not mention his size until you see it for yourself. And when he sees your face, he panics. "Oh-shit, uh- i-is it gonna be too big for you? It's okay if it is, I should've warned you.."
He's four inches soft, uncut. I think he keeps himself decently groomed. He's not completely bare, but it isn't a forest. He's got a little v-line that's only visible when he wears sweatpants that you go absolutely feral over. When he gets hard, whoo boy. 9 inches, throbbing. He's got a cute little vein near his tip that you like to attack when you're sucking him off because it makes his thighs shake. He's got a little bit of a mushroom tip, maybe more rounded. Perfect for hitting all those good spots inside you. In short, he's big. (he tucks it, that's why he doesn't have a bulge in his sprites. Also I'm sorry trans-Curly headcannon people ;-;)
-"Need a seat? I'll volunteer."
VEEEEEERRRYYY into face-sitting. Very. Like, the first thing he wants when you guys get freaky is for you to sit on his face. He's not exactly sure why he likes it, to be honest, he just loves the feeling of you absolutely lose yourself on his tongue. He isn't worried about suffocating or anything, since he's a lot bigger than you, so don't be afraid to ride his face! he can handle it! But seriously, use this guy as a seat. He'd give you a few licks up your slit at first to warm you up (again, gentleman) before going for your clit. And when he gets it, he sucks. Hard. He'd also probably sneak a finger or two inside you to add extra stimulation, because he really wants you to come on his face. He desperately yearns for the sound of you screaming his name as your juices cover his face and tongue, letting you ride your orgasm out before lifting you off his face and setting you down. "Alright, sweet-stuff, my turn. On your knees, please."
-Save a Polle, ride his big ass thighs.
So... we've all seen his sprite. He's thick as fuck. He's got a booty and bigger tits than me. But he also has deliciously large thighs.. so use that to your advantage, because he's totally down with it. He likes using it as foreplay to get you wet enough to take him, and he just likes the feeling. He'll probably give himself a hand while you're doing it, or he'll just watch and leave the touching to you.
He isn't much for public sex, but if you're really horny, he'll let you get high on his thigh over his uniform and gently praise you when you come. It gives him a little buzz to be doing something like that in a risky situation, like while he's in the cockpit sitting at the control panel, or even in the commons of the ship with Daisuke in a few rooms away. When you do come, which isn't that long after, he'll kiss you all over your face and head and twirl your hair in his fingers, using his other hand to rub your ass or back.
"There you go, sweetheart, that's a good girl. Good job."
-Sir yes sir.
I know, I know. He gets called 'Captain' and 'Sir' for his job. But if its coming from you when he's balls deep in you.. It's an entirely different reaction.
"D-did.. you just call me- mgh..- Captain?"
It makes him ferociously horny to hear that title slip from your lips, so pray you'll still walk tomorrow. "Ooh, fuck, yeahhh. Call me that again, baby. Call me that again.. Uh-huh. Captain takin' care of this pretty lil' pussy, huh.."
He doesn't dirty talk that explicitly, but you calling him captain gets his creative juices flowing. Oh, also his come. Yeah..
Its also perfect teasing material. You two couldn't even be getting it on, you'd just sneak up behind him and kiss him on the cheek and say "Morning, Captain!" In that tone you know drives him wild. Boom, hard. Poor guy.
-Yeehaw!
favorite position? Cowgirl. For many reasons. One, he loves looking at your face while you ride his cock. The noises, the facial expressions you make, the way your tits bounce up and down with your hips.. He wishes it was a renaissance painting to look at every morning. He also just likes being able to hold you easily. When you're on his lap, its easier for him to snake a hand up and hold your hair out of your face, or to give your ass gentle love taps (he would never spank you, unless asked to). He's a very hands-on guy and wants to touch you, everywhere he can.
Of course, he doesn't mind the occasional doggy, or missionary, or hell, even a Full Nelson, because you KNOW he's able to hold you like that. Manhandling comes naturally with Curly. Gently, of course. He would never hurt you.
-Gets a little messy.
Curly's no one pump chump. He'll go for hours. Even if he's came inside you at least five times, he'll keep going. He's got hella impressive stamina. His motivation? Seeing your cunt leaking his seed when he pulls out. He wants you to still find it in your underwear 3 days later. No hole goes unfilled. He's not exactly a breeder, per-say, though he definitely wouldn't complain about getting you pregnant, he just likes seeing you in a state. He thinks of it as artwork, leaving you so stuffed to the brim. The next day, he'd pull you aside and give you a quick finger-orgasm, just to see if his come's still in there. When it leaks onto his fingers along with your own, he's a very happy man. "Ahh, look at that. Still got it in ya. Should fill you up even more later, hm?"
oof. my hands hurt. ;-;

i do not like nidhogg, gray raven is boring, and shade would be irrelevant if he didnt look like that
#fite me nikkiblr#gray raven has lore yeah i know. its boring#the concept of a doctor who sold his soul is interesting but the character just falls flat idk#i like peachy more and she doesnt even have a sprite#i could care less about shade though. what is his purpose. what does he do. oh him and orlando have history. cool what else#and the nidhogg point is me being petty#hes not that bad and actually interesting lorewise but#hes just..overrated to me.#i like that he contrasts nikki. its cool to me that they have a somewhat similar goal but veryyy different ways of achieving it#but why do i HAVE to like him tho#looks wise hes alright i guess#lunar deserved more character development so yes i may be salty because of that

Edwin is a fascinating character for a lot of reasons, but one I haven't delved into very deeply yet is the juxtaposition between the fact that he is genuinely, earnestly kind while also simultaneously being unsure of how to express that kindness.
He was raised in a time when physical affection and emotional conversations were avoided if not actively discouraged. On top of that, he's had 70 years in hell in survival mode that did not help him hone his people skills at all.
But we see him try, again and again, especially for Charles.
The most memorable instances are, of course, when Edwin offers Charles comfort after his breakdown at the beach, the two separate offers to talk if Charles needs to, the hug, and their meeting in the attic with the lantern.
But there's one small moment that isn't as obvious; I didn't notice it at all on my first few watch-throughs.
It's just after the Devlin house, when Charles has had a truly awful night. Edwin has just started to understand the scope of how upset he is by what happened there, and why.
And then we get this remarkable exchange:
While Charles is lost in his thoughts somewhere behind that thousand-yard stare, Edwin gives Crystal a straightforward, earnest, not at all backhanded compliment. It's the first time he does; compared to the one he offers her in the episode with the sprites, this is practically effusive.
By itself, it's a very sweet moment between the two of them as their relationship develops.
And it is that.
But it's something else, too. Because this is how Edwin follows it up:
Crystal hearing it isn't enough.
He wants Charles to hear it.
In fact, he wants Charles to hear it so badly that he pauses, waits for Charles to react, doesn't get a reaction, and asks again.
Yes, this compliment is meant for Crystal, but it's meant for Charles, too – in a different way.
This is Edwin playing nice, like Charles has been wanting him to do since episode one. This is him giving Charles what he's been making puppy dog eyes over for days now.
This is Edwin pulling out the thing he thinks will make Charles the happiest. This is Edwin, fumbling to figure out what will help.
The hug that Charles needs so desperately isn't for some episodes yet – and these boys do get there eventually.
But I dearly love this first uncertain step on the path to Edwin figuring out what Charles needs from him.
He may not have the best instincts when it comes to handling social situations, but by god, he's so very kind, and he's trying, and there is something unspeakably sweet about that.

Hiii! Just read your fist pizza order and I looooved it so I thought I might as well give you some writing to do!
Could I please have a pizza with cauliflower crust, Alfredo sauce, banana peppers and broccoli? With some sprite and lemonade and dessert please! And served by franco (I need him to be the sunshine in this)!
Thank you so so much 🥰🥰
Lee-Lee's Pizzeria Menu
cauliflower grumpy x sunshine Alfredo sauce sweet sex banana peppers "Look so pretty riding my cock" broccoli "Made just for me huh?" sprite size kink lemonade body worship dessert yes served by Franco Colapinto
Franco x grumpy! girlfriend
TW A short one, morning sex, riding, unprotected sex
WC 800+
Y/N POV
"Good morning pretty girl," Franco mumbles when he starts to wake up from my nails running across his shirt-covered back. He starts turning onto his side and pulling me slower to his chest making me groan.
"It's too early," I mumble back making Franco giggle softly at my morning moodiness.
"Why is it that your alarm always wakes me up and never you?" I question with an arched brow making Franco's face heat slightly from being called out before he just shrugs. He'd much rather wake up to his girlfriend's touch anyway.
"Come on baby, we have a big day!" Franco says with far too much excitement making me bury my face back into his chest not waiting to leave the bed.
"No," I grumble gripping onto the back of Franco's shirt not wanting him to get out of the bed either.
"Come on," Franco says dragging out the "n".
"20 minutes," I say coldly making Franco giggle but relax slightly into my arms.
"Gonna make us late baby," Franco says but still making not move to get out of bed.
"Babe, we don't need to be in the paddock for another 3 hours, 20 minutes wont kill us," I tell him making him shrug.
"Just excited for my first race," Franco says with a smile on his face making me smile softly at him.
It was Monza race day which means it's Franco's first Grand Prix in Formula 1 and he has been extremely anties the whole time.
"I know, and I'm happy for you," I tell him softly before pulling him in for a soft kiss.
What was supposed to be just a quick peck slowly turns into a heated makeout session, resulting in me climbing into Frnaco's lap and grinding down on his hardening cock.
"Fuck baby, we don't have time," Franco groans making me grind down harder, making both of us whine at the pleasure coursing through us.
"Please, we have time," I say while pulling off the shirt I had slept in the night before. I start pushing Franco's shirt up to reviel his tones abs and chest when I instantly lean down and start kissing him neck and chest before pushing myself down a little further pulling his boxers down slightly before pulling his cock into my mouth for a soft suck making Franco groan.
"Fuck baby, so good," Franco groans when I start bobbing my head softly.
"We'll be quick," I say as if he needed any further convincing.
"Come ride me, baby," Franco says clearly having no patience. I just giggle and roll my eyes at his neediness before climbing back into Franco's lap and sinking down his cock when I pull my thong to the side.
"Fuck," I groan at the stretch before I slowly start rocking my hips trying to gain stimulation before I start bouncing up and down making Franco moan.
"Look so pretty riding my cock," Franco moans out softly making my face heat up slightly at the praise.
"It's so good baby," I mumble softly.
"Fuck, always so good for me," Franco groans moving his hands to my hips and giving them a hard squeeze before he starts helping me bounce on his cock.
"I'm close," I moan out already starting to get shakey legs, which has Franco flipping us over so he was now hovering over me and pounding into my pussy making me moan and whine at the stimulation.
"Fuck," I moan when the new angle has Franco hitting a new spot deep in my pussy.
"It's like you were made just for me, Huh?" Franco states bringing a hand down to my clit making me clench around his cock ready to cum.
"Please can I cum," I beg needing my release.
"Cum for me," Franco groans before sending me over the edge into a strong orgasm and squeezing around Franco's cock making him pull out and cum all over my tummy.
Once both Franco and I have come down from our highs he slowly climbs out of bed and pulls his boxers off all the way before pulling my thong off and picking me up and taking me into the bathroom.
Once he turns the shower on and lets the water heat up Franco takes my hand into his pulling me to join him.
We spent the next 20 minutes cleaning each other off before we got out and started getting ready for race day.
"Told you we had time," I saw with a smirk when we walked into the paddock hand and hand 15 minutes earlier than we needed to be.
Franco just laughs and shakes his head before kissing my forehead softly.
"Gonna get us in trouble one of these days," Franco says making me smirk and shrug.
"You wouldn't change it for the world though."

listen. listen.
I know it’s a fandom joke to be like “Edwin can’t read social cues and that’s why he’s a bitch lol” but like… yes he can? I kind of think there are moments he chooses to be kind and compassionate and gentle, and then moments where he’s just being cunty on purpose. Like this scene? Right here? This is on purpose (and Crystal clocks it, and gives it right back and I love their bitchy besties dynamic).
That doesn’t make him irredeemable or mean that we can’t like him as a character or whatever (the obsession with Good and Moral characters is definitely directly contributing to fandom rot and character interpretation, in this case). But I really need people to stop pretending he doesn’t know what he’s doing, because I kind of think he does.
Take the scene with Charles and the pot that the sprites were originally in. Charles did not drop the pot like Edwin claimed. As plenty of people have pointed out at this point, he broke it on a skeleton in a moment of panic because he was protecting Edwin from those skeletons in the dandelion field.
Edwin, however, subtly changes his description of events from threw to dropped. He knows what happened. He was there. He’s also trying not to make tensions worse, and he knows telling Crystal that Charles broke the pot intentionally would escalate things. So he doesn’t tell her. (Everything works out the same in the end anyway, and they do save Niko together).
Then there’s the scene on the cliff, after Charles pushes The Night Nurse into the fish. This one is interesting to me because I feel like it gets misinterpreted so easily. Edwin tells Charles what he did was extreme. Perhaps the wording was poor, because Charles feels like he’s being criticized for what he did and crumbles. I think Edwin was concerned for Charles, though, because he steps forward and does something that Charles does for Edwin when he’s upset or stuck on a case- he reaches out to touch him. This is unusual for Edwin, but he has to know it’s meaningful for Charles if he does it so often (there’s similar shoulder touches in episodes 1&2 pictured here). That’s a small, subtle gesture that he noticed over time. (He does get shrugged off, but he did try).
Or like— people have commented on this situation. I’ve heard a lot of “surely Edwin doesn’t really think Scooby Doo is that thrilling/clever/intelligent”?
Hear me out. Niko is his friend. When you’ve made a friend, you show interest in things they enjoy so you can spend time together and get to know what is meaningful to them. That in itself means he is aware this is important to Niko, which is very sweet. (Although I would like to think he genuinely likes the book recs, I’m sure those healed something within him).
So it’s not that Edwin can’t choose to be subtle, and it’s not that he isn’t aware. It’s that he simply decides to be a bitch sometimes (and tbh I would love to go into the why behind that sometime).
