Was doing some practice and I wanted to do a quick pose. This pose popped up and I immediately thought of doing a quick one for Cure Sky. A bit of a challenge but I had fun and I appreciate her design a bit more

ANOTHER WIP COMIC UPDATE BECAUSE PROCREATE SAYS I’VE SPENT OVER 30 HOURS ON IT AND I’M TIRED

It’s 12 pages. I finished sketching all of it. I plan to finish it tomorrow. (But that’s not written in stone, please don’t hold me to that.) For color, I’m just doing it monochrome because I’ve spent OVER 30 HOURS on it already. Except for Sky’s scars. Those can be red. And um… other super secret things that I won’t reveal right now because I want at least some of it to be a surprise.

I have so much to say about this scene oh my goodness!! I’ll spare the rant but I hope you can tell my love for it by this comic’s existence in the first place. I know it’s not at all accurate to Linked Universe, but I started this comic just for fun (I’ve never made a comic before!! This has been a little experiment!) and I don’t know all that much about LU, other than the fanfics I read. By the time I started taking it seriously, I was in too deep to redesign the Links, lest I spent another 30 hours on it.

Ahhh and here I go, rambling about things that don’t matter. For any of you reading this that are not Illeg, go check out their fanfictions! Literally all of them. They all have my whole heart.

I realize I’ve put a lot of emphasis on the time I’ve spent on this so far, but I promise I’m not unhappy! Not at all! It’s been such a pleasure to draw so far and I can’t wait to post the finished project! (Hopefully tomorrow!)

we went to iceland! (pt 2, colorful version)

finally introducing the other character who also occupies a part of my brain:

Meet Giewont!

while the creator of it, Maria Leszczyńska, originally intended to make a war machine, she struggled a lot with finding resources then. however, with her and her family's life deeply affected by both world wars, the idea never left her mind. inspired by utopian idea of glass houses from a novel "the spring to come" ¹, she created her machine from glass. it would be cheap to make, yet durable, available as help to those in need, able to do hard work in times when it was needed - but if fragile peace was in danger again, it could fight alongside other soldiers. as if to set that role of protector in stone, she named it Giewont ². to test her creation, she gifed it to her brother Andrzej, who owned a small farm near the seaside.

Giewont worked as much as four men, not needing to be paid or fed like people would. it was a perfect solution for everybody, the new industrial revolution. that was, until about half a year into her work, glass started to shatter. it turned out not to be as durable as the utopian story made it to be, especially in contact with rough farm tools. small cracks also started to appear after they worked outside in winter, with low temperatures on the outside and hot steam circulating inside. with her fingers and edges getting sharper every day, Giewont was forbidden from taking care of animals anymore, as she would injure them. she was given the only task with no way to injure others - they recieved a showel fully made from metal and was ordered to dig. she did as she was told, even though the work put strain on her already-falling-apart fingers.

but when one day, when returning home, she noticed daughter of Andrzej, Aniela, swimming too far away from the shore and having trouble coming back, long forgotten wire snapped into its place as she jumped into the water to save her. while Giewont did bring her back home, carrying her in their arms, the girl had severe cuts on her body from coming in contact with robot's sharp hands. furious with his sister creation, Andrzej took it outside, desperate to destroy it. blinded by anger, he didn't even notice the storm gathering over the horizon

Andrzej took the metal showel and struck Giewont on the side on their head, then again, until her body fell and crumbled to pieces. He covered it with sand and raised his hands to deal the final blow.

that's when the lightning struck.

and the man fell to the ground, dead.

the sand melted from the heat around Giewont, filling the empty spaces and connecting the pieces back together. raising from their shallow grave, with body more rigid than what she was used to, she took her shovel and decided to bury the man, with what respect they had left for him. that was, after she dealt the final blow herself.

although miraculous, the lightning didn't return her to the previous state of being. their motions were stiff and some parts of theirs got lost forever among the sands of the beach. the part of her head where the first blow was dealt never worked properly again, rendering Giewont deaf in one ear (or whatever was left from it). however it did some good as well, as it widened the space around her mouth, finally making them able to talk - even if it was simillar to a whistle. determined to help people but with a body that kept hurting everyone around her, Giewont set off into the world, trying to find a home and piece herself together, leaving parts herself and a dead body behind.

footnotes below the cut:

1. "During one pause in their journey, the elder Baryka tells Cezary of an entrepreneur who, along Poland’s Baltic coast, devised an ingenious method for manufacturing durable glass from the vast reserves of pristine sands that had lain for eons beneath coastal peat fields. By a massive Rube Goldberg-type arrangement of channels and a creative method for harnessing the westerly winds (the storytelling here is a literary engineering feat in itself), an incursion of the sea provides power for converting the extracted sand into glass. From this vitreous wonder substance, prefabricated houses of glass are built inexpensively. The houses are strong as steel, hygienic, and easy to heat in winter and keep cool in summer. Whole villages are built with houses of brightly colored glass. Life becomes less of a struggle for mere existence, more civilized, and without the need to toil incessantly. People eat less meat or no meat at all, and begin to revere farm animals as sacred beings. For the reader, the digression serves to freshen the mental palate. For Cezary, however, the story is altogether beguiling, raising the utopian prospect of a more wonderful life, reunited with a homeland that might have been his to begin with and a father he has just rediscovered" - via neh.gov

wow thanks for skimming through footnotes as well! as a reward, here's the first ever design of both Janka and Giewont (which proves they were both created around the same time :] )

2. "Those knights had been in a deep sleep for hundreds of years and they only would wake up if it is time to fight on a great battle. When this day comes, the earth will move, there will be thunders that would shake the sky, many trees will fall and break, and there would be noises when the Border Mountains will break. On that moment the knights will take their horses and they will gallop to fight for Poland once again." - the legend of the sleeping knights

a lot had changed since that time :]

Happy holidays, @kitameguire! I was your @dcmksecretsanta this year!

I decided to try the Kaito/Ran prompt and put together this edit from one of your favorite films, Movie 14, The Lost Ship in the Sky! The manga panels come from the official movie manga, and I had a ton of fun coloring them! I've included the full panels that I colored under the cut; please feel free to use as desired. I hope you enjoy!

Apologies that these are a little messy ^^;

copium for an al haitham-centric interlude chapter. not just event; I need an entire interlude chapter based on this guy solely because 1. I am delusional and 2. not only does he take inspiration from su (former owner(? correct me if I'm wrong on that) of the bubble universe called Sumeru, a powerful psychic MANTIS AND is playing chess with some kind of GOD rn I think) but also probably Elysia (lesbian jesus, the crystals/glass/mirrors, the things about humans and humanity and something about hthm's original leaks mentioning "forlorn lotus"....) 3. the gem on his chest STILL hasn't been explained and if they aren't gonna do it in an event they can have like. an interlude quest for it (interlude quest only if its that important but like. it can be a passing statement. just include him in more perma content pls hoyo I need more of these gray-haired green guys)

I have a laramie request for you if you are interested in gifing it. It’s the end of s3e6, The Last Journey, when Jess catches the bouquet. ❤️❤️

HERE YOU GO

Various images from the past year or so... posting my evil little photo diary collections once again..

I've been requested to share my OctaViper sexuality analyses? headcanons? awful theories? for You'll Have Me Rise, so here it goes...

I've uh, put a lot of thought into this over time. So it's gonna be kinda long. Also obviously nsfw so I'm putting everything under the cut. Hope you enjoy my brainrot?

(warning for reference to the sexual trauma that's alluded to in the fic. and potential spoilers about how they think?)

So, this was originally a question about topping/bottoming, but there's gonna be bondage elements so I'm gonna go into dom/sub dynamics too.

Anyway first off, I think all of their preferences would vary at least a bit depending on who they're sleeping with specifically (and in what combination. Also I think trauma and comfort would definitely play a part in it because, like, that tends to be a thing with kink, so I'm just gonna kinda deep dive into all that character by character. (also sorry if this is incoherent, I don't have an excuse it's just very stream of consciousness and I'm not willing to fix or edit it)

Jamil: So, I think he would be kind of a switch because of conflicting emotional outlets? In day to day life, in nonsexual contexts, Jamil's always been forced to be in complete control at all times for other people's benefit. It's work for him, he's never had a say in the matter, it's unpleasant. And sexually, most of his experiences so far have been acts of service or causal sex with people who he fully expects to use him. His enjoyment doesn't get prioritized, and because of all his other life experiences, he's never expected it to. Basically, sex (and his body in general) has always been a tool primarily, and personal benefit is something he tries to squeeze in on the side if he gets the opportunity. So, once he's with people who actually give a shit (the octatrio), I think he'd be down to try anything that feels good and end up liking everything that's opposite of his experiences so far. With bondage, I think he'd really be drawn to subbing because it takes the control out of his hands and puts him in a position where he can't focus on servicing others even if he wanted to, so he has no options but to just relax into it and enjoy himself while someone else puts effort into making him feel good for a change. It's something that would make him feel valued and desirable and cared for. Outside of that, I think he would still bottom more often than not, but would also get more dominating at times because he'd get off on the power trip. He still has a vindictive streak after all, and has never gotten to have full control over a sexual experience on his terms before, so there would be incidences of him spontaneously initiating sex in a more aggressive way, or suddenly getting dominating halfway through. Of course, this would vary depending on the partner. Fact is, despite having a lot of sexual experience, Jamil hasn't actually experienced a lot of different kinds of sex, so there's still a lot of new things in store for him.

With Azul he would mostly sub, both because of Azul's own preferences and because Azul aggressively doting on Jamil is a large part of what won him over in the first place. ...Also... eight long prehensile limbs that happen to be really convenient for suspending and immobilizing a guy... But anyway, as they became more close and comfortable with each other I think Jamil would top now and then out of a genuine desire to cater to Azul and see him actually relax.

With Floyd, I think both of them would be a lot more aggressive and spontaneous, because spontaneous is how Floyd works, and he has a way of getting Jamil to match that tempo. It would center a lot on catharsis. He'd let Floyd get rough with him because he gets a thrill from the sense of danger and being in over his head. I also firmly believe that Jamil would be the most dominating towards Floyd, specifically because Floyd is so much larger and stronger and threatening, and therefore would provide the biggest power trip to dominate. Also, because Floyd would be really really into it. I think Floyd would have a thing for letting Jamil take out frustrations on him in bed, and Jamil would be happy to oblige because a part of him really wants that. It'd work out because they both know that Jamil can't do any serious damage to Floyd with his bear hands, and Floyd enjoys the minor damage, so he can really just let loose. They'd probably have a lot of soft intimate sex too, though, because I believe Floyd is (comparatively) the sweetest and most sincere out of the four of them, and is canonly observant enough to be really attentive when he's not too manic. Floyd would absolutely cuddle after, that's non negotiable, by which I mean he'd squish Jamil like a plushie and there is not a whole lot Jamil could do about it once he's in the death grip.

Jade.... Jamil would absolutely bottom Jade. Jade likes to see what makes Jamil tick and watch him squirm, and Jamil is actually still a little bit scared of Jade, which has started to become a turn on. Jamil is down to try anything just to see what it's like, and Jade likes to experiment on him and see how far he can go, so things can get weird. Also, these two are developing a friendship long before it turns into romantic feelings, so sex is more like a game between them. It's about fun and mischief moreso than romantic intimacy. When they're alone together, they have the kind of sex that would make Floyd and Azul worry. They have a mutual understanding that Floyd and Azul don't necessarily need to know about it.

With both the tweels at once, he'd probably end up either bottoming both, or switching between the two.

Azul: Azul has control issues, and cares more than he's willing to admit, he'd dom most of the time. I think he'd like soft cozy intimacy at times, but has difficulty letting his guard down enough for that to happen. He'd bottom sometimes, when he's feeling vulnerable and trusting, but probably wouldn't fully relinquish control. In general, he loves getting people to unravel in his hands, and gets a power trip over how much he can make them lose their minds. He's typically very meticulous about the scenarios, and focuses a lot on pleasing his partners. It gives him a sense of control over his surroundings and social environment, and the captive audience means he can't possibly be ignored or overlooked, especially when he can push their buttons until they can't deny that he's good at what he does.

With the tweels, they make a game of ganging up and seeing how far they can get before he restrains them. Their end goal is getting him to crack because it's fun, his end goal is showing them a good time because he's really just overwhelmed with affection whenever he's with them. I imagine their version of cuddling after is him wrapping them both up in tentacles and sandwiching himself between them like giant teddybears (or, y'know, the same way octopuses will hold objects over themselves to hide). The only reason they don't fall asleep together every night is because they all end up awake at odd, variable hours that don't always match up (and in Floyd's case, it varies wildy between manic and depressive episodes).

With just Jade, it's a whole production. I think these two would end up roleplaying a lot, and get really goofy around each other behind closed doors (Floyd absolutely ends up walking in on weird shit and laughing at them over it, usually gets dragged into it as revenge). He'd definitely dom, and also probably power bottom. Their version of cuddling after would be just hanging out in bed talking about plans and business shit.

Azul and Floyd bicker so much they end up having makeup sex pretty often. The rest of the time it's a battle of wills and depends a lot on Floyd's moods. Either Azul creeps on him while he's mellow and takes control of the situation, or Floyd gets rowdy and coaxes Azul into letting him top. Granted, when Floyd is rowdy and wants to top, it's extra satisfying to subdue and dominate him.

With Jamil he'd be very dominating, because he finally has Jamil's undivided attention and wants to prove he's worth his time. Azul may not know the full extent of it, but he can tell Jamil has never really been prioritized, and intends to take advantage of that as an opportunity to be the best he's ever had. It is on some level still an attempt at convincing Jamil to care about his existence, since he can't really believe anyone besides the twins would actually like him as a person. He's also, at this point, pretty fixated on the challenge of making Jamil completely lose his cool. Letting Jamil top is something he'd never really expect to happen until it did.

Jade: I actually have an idea of a traumatic backstory for Jade that I'm not gonna go into here, but the end result is that 1) He has a lot of trouble connecting and caring about other people, and no real interest in trying. And 2) He's actually a lot more emotionally dependant on Floyd and Azul than he lets on. I think he'd actually be way less likely to sleep around than the other two, but knows he can be sexually intimidating because his twin is, so he uses it to screw with people. He flirts to push people's buttons and see how they'll react, but usually follows that with just up and leaving before it actually gets anywhere. Just like with other social interactions, he observes how Azul and Floyd behave and how people react to them, then pieces it together in different ways and tests it out himself and observes what works. If it gets a reaction he likes, he adds it to his arsenal, if not then he scraps it and tries something new next time. He's very much confident in bed, but it's because he's already made sure that everything surrounding the encounter is safe and comfortable for him. With that in mind, his sexual preferences would depend almost entirely on who he's with.

Jade and Floyd like to gang up on their partners (all the better to escalate things), and know each other well enough to work as a unit. Jade usually defaults to kinda supporting whatever Floyd decides to do (like distracting them so Floyd can catch them off guard, or holding them down while Floyd tops), but will sometimes use that trust to allow a partner to get Floyd off guard for his own entertainment (and because he knows Floyd likes being surprised). He also kinda uses Floyd's behavior as a template to figure out how to behave in a situation, because they're unwholesomly codependent. With Azul they like to surprise and fluster him, and will top if they can get away with it, but the game is usually to get him to snap and strangle them a little. Jamil just, doesn't really stand a chance, he ends up subbing both if them unless Jade decides to help him gang up on Floyd. I'm leaving it up to reader's personal interpretations whether or not these two hook up with each other alone. I'm not gonna write any sex scenes between them and it wouldn't necessarily impact the plot either way, so picture whatever makes you happy/comfortable.

With just Azul he mostly subs, and tops when Azul wants it. He's most comfortable with Azul and likes to let him call the shots. He's more assertive with foreplay, but like Jamil, subbing is way for him to feel wanted and cared for. Idk how to explain the reasoning but I think he'd have a bit of a praise kink, and likes getting choked.

He knows Jamil is a safe option because they're involved with the same people, and Azul and Floyd wouldn't bring someone he couldn't trust this deep into the relationship, but that doesn't mean he's comfortable enough to bottom or sub. He also knows that Jamil with let Jade do whatever he wants to him, so long as it's not unpleasant, so he takes full advantage of that. He likes to see how far he can push Jamil, where he'll draw a line, shit like that. He's not used to sleeping with humans, and knows they're more fragile than him, but isn't sure exactly how fragile. So, naturally, he likes to gradually increase intensity until Jamil admits he can't take any more. Since he typically ends up subbing Azul, and tends to follow his example socially, the inevitable conclusion is that he'd try out the things Azul does to him on Jamil. He doesn't really admit it out loud, but he's growing fond of Jamil and actually tries to look out for his wellbeing.

Floyd: Floyd is a creature of passion, everyone he loves are creatures of calculated malintent. He's definitely not sweet and innocent, he's just more sweet and a little less evil than his partners, so naturally they choose to fuck with him a little more. As I've already kind of alluded to, Floyd is mostly a top and subs often. I don't think he'd initiate bondage on his own (too meticulous, not his style), but he ends up on the receiving end of it pretty often. Canon has implied that he gets a kick out of people that don't seem threatening kicking his ass, and just likes when someone can challenge him in general, and I'm running with that. I think he'd be into getting rough treatment from people smaller than him, and likes when they find ways to get the better of him. He'd also enjoy getting to be rough with someone who can take it, and who's able to stop him if they need to. He's pretty impulsive, and when manic would have trouble thinking things through completely, so he prefers for his partners to be able to reign him in on their own. He doesn't want to seriously hurt anyone he cares about, and the possibility would stress him out when he has clarity. I think he has a strong romantic streak, but often fails to communicate his thoughts or read the room, so his approaches get misinterpreted often. The other thing is that he'd change style depending on what his brain's up to (fun fact, bipolar be like that). While manic, he'd be kinda hypersexual and lose any reservations. Like he'd be more aggressive about initiating shit, would let people do whatever they want to him, and would try to do whatever he could get away with to them. Those are the points when people end up messing with and dominating him more, partially cause it's the only way to get him under control that he'll tolerate. While stable, he'd be more careful and attentive, and able to communicate and implement romantic intentions better. That's when more of the slow paced romantic sex would happen (as well as less extreme versions of his kinks), and he'd typically top and be more dominating. Depression episodes would lead to reclusing and avoiding everyone, and typically result in comforting makeouts that may or may not turn into very soft sex eventually.

Jade tends to stake out opportunities to team up on people, and Floyd initiates them. He likes working together because things tend to get chaotic and their partner is way more likely to lose all composure. Floyd allows himself to let loose more because he knows Jade will be able to reel him in.

He definitely bothers Azul while he's working, and thinks it's really cute when he gets all flustered and crabby about it. He bothers Azul extra when Floyd's the one who's supposed to be working, in the hopes that sex might distract Azul into not noticing he skipped out. When manic it's all fuck around (act aggressive and pushy) and find out (get restrained). When stable he's more calculated about initiating things, but is also more approachable, so Azul often gets to him first. Whether he's subbing or not, he usually tops because he's good at it, but also does intentionally aggravate Azul into fucking him sometimes

Jamil is new and interesting and pretty and challenging and mysterious and Floyd wants all his attention all the time. He gets jealous in a bratty way when Jamil is focused on other people for any reason, and is always looking for opportunities to get him alone. He winds up being naggy and inappropriate in public, and easily gets "overenthusiastic" during sex, but enjoys the scoldings, so nothing really discourages him unless there's a genuine risk of hurting Jamil. He often feels the overwhelming need to get his hands on Jamil and will try to drag him into any empty room or deserted part of campus that's closest. He's not as obvious or menacing about it as Azul and Jade, but he keeps pretty accurate track of Jamil's schedule and routes, and will hang around places that he knows Jamil will be passing through just to steal a few extra minutes with him. Whether it's sex or just flirting, he likes when Jamil gets mean, and REALLY likes when he gets violent. He wants to see Jamil show more passion and honesty, and whether that means strangling Floyd or crying in his arms, he's happy to accommodate it. When he's manic, he tends to go too far in riling Jamil up and enjoys when things escalate. He also is less careful and more at risk of doing damage, so Jamil has to be more forceful about stopping him. When he's stable, he's able to be more empathetic and can help Jamil wind down and work through things after an outburst.

No matter who he's with, he likes to cuddle after. With Azul that means either nagging him to stay in bed or following him around and hanging off his shoulders while he works. Jamil is usually exhausted and passes out after sex, so Floyd just scoops him up and holds him until he wakes up and fusses enough to be released. When Jade's involved, they usually stay up chatting while their partner sleeps between them.

figuring out the pathing has been super annoying.. the brightness scale is still too limiting so you cant do subtle texturing very well and the pixels are noticeable, but for the game to blend the pixels into blobs they need a certain amount of contrast

the paths originally had a blue tint to go with the bridge but it looked off compared to other greyish items. so i made it full monochrome . but THEN the bridge has a blue tint anyways so fuck me in particular i guess

Seeing tumblr posts that you barely remember after a few weeks is so cool like yes! yes! i remember you! wow i havent seen this version yet! omg you have 3k notes more that when i last saw you! *wipes tear* so beautiful
