Howdy!
I am here to talk about Viv's horrible character designs.
From an animator perspective, they suck.
Here's why
1. The characters have way too much detail
For animation, more lines equal more work. You're going to be drawing them over and over, and it just creates more stress and work for the animators.
For example, I took one of the most egregious designs in HB (Beelzebub) and simplified it to be animation friendly.
(Can't send it here but I'll probably make a post about it or something.)
2. There's too much of 1 color
WHY IS THERE SO MUCH RED??
Especially since they're in a primarily red background, they don't stand out AT ALL.
Like how am I supposed to see them if they blend in to the background??
3. I have no idea what half of them are supposed to be
Charlie is based off a doll?
Alastor is based off of a deer?
Katie Killjoy is based off of a praying mantis?
Angel Dust is based off of a spider?
Beelzebub is supposed to be well... Beelzebub?
When designing characters, they need to be clear on what they're supposed to be! And no, explaining it on Twitter does not count.
4. The animation reference sheets are garbage
No wonder there's so much animation errors. There's no facial expression sheets, lip sync guide, nothing. It's just a 4 angle turnaround sheet where the character is in complex poses all the time.
If you Google Lackadaisy's animation reference sheets and then look at HB's, it's like night and day.
I'm more than willing to send some examples (along with the edit I did) if you want
So yeah, what are your thoughts?
These are all great points! I think you summed up the main problems very well, but I'll elaborate on each of them. I'm no expert at character design or animation by any means, but I'll do my best to explain my points!
First of all, like you said, the character designs are way too complicated. Anyone who knows even the slightest amount about animation knows you want to simplify and streamline your designs as much as possible to make it easier on the animators. Vivzie is way too obsessed with her Deviantart OC lookin'-ass character designs to actually do this, even though it would seriously help to make the animation process way faster and easier. Beelzebub is seriously the best (or worst?) example of this.
Tumblr media
I feel so bad for the poor souls who had to animate this. There are just way too many moving parts here, from her multiple arms, her wings, her markings, to her freaking lava lamp hair and tail?? It's just awful. And so many of Viv's designs suffer this problem, I could go on and on.
Like, I think it actually is a nice looking design, as a still image. Maybe not for the demon Beelzebub, but as a general furry OC, I think she's cute. But that's beside the point. I would love to see your redesign of her!
Next, the RED. So, most of the characters we see in Helluva Boss are red-skinned imps, which has been a common depiction of demons for centuries. One big problem I have is that there's little contrast in these designs. Let's look at our three main imps.
Tumblr media
Aside from some white and yellow highlights, they're all mostly red and black. Their color palettes aren't distinct in the slightest! And, I mean, come on. Red accessories against what's almost the exact same shade of red skin? Really? It just doesn't look good. A little contrast here and there goes a long way, like... maybe make Moxxie's bowtie blue? Or Blitz's pendant green? I don't know, anything to help each character stand out, and help give them more visual intrigue.
It doesn't help that most of the backgrounds are primarily shades of red, too. Here's a few screenshots I found that really show this problem.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Look at all that fucking red. Like you said, there's such little color variation that the characters blend into the background. Now, to be fair, I did specifically choose these screenshots because I think they really highlight the problem, but this really is what so much of the show looks like. Granted, we do have a bit more variety in the different rings of Hell, each with their own main color, but this is still too much red, considering how much the color comprises the main characters' designs.
Next, like you said, Vivzie is really bad at making characters actually look like the things they're supposed to look like. Let's take Alastor as an example!
Tumblr media
Oh boy! More red and black. So, Alastor here is supposed to be a deer. What's the first physical characteristic that comes to mind when you think of a deer?
Tumblr media
Yeah, those big, impressive antlers! So... where are his? Oh, they're those tiny little forks on his head that are almost entirely obscured by his stupid emo hair. Like, come on! Giving him bigger antlers would have made him look so much cooler and more intimidating, and it would have been a great focal point for his design! It's such a missed opportunity. (I know he has bigger antlers in his scarier "demon" form, but you still could have made these a little more impressive.) And don't even get me started on those ears... they look more like fox ears or something. Like you said, a good design shouldn't need to be explained through supplementary material. We should be able to tell what a character is supposed to be just from looking at them!
Tumblr media
Another great example is Angel Dust, who, despite being a spider, lacks so many distinct features we associate with spiders! He only has six legs instead of eight, he doesn't have pedipalps or chelicerae, and he also lacks that big old spider booty, which I think is such a missed opportunity, considering he is supposed to be in the sex industry. He isn't even remotely shaped like a spider, he looks more like a fuzzy stick bug or something.
Part of me feels like Viv is too afraid to make her characters look unique, so she just goes with the same, skinny humanoid design for just about everything. It's such a shame, because I really do think she is a talented artist who can make some really interesting designs. But then again, she also gave us Beelzebub, so... maybe not.
As for the reference sheets, maybe I wasn't looking hard enough but I couldn't find any official ones for the main characters, so if you could send those my way I would appreciate it! Though it honestly wouldn't surprise me if they were bad. I did look up Lackadaisy's and found them pretty easily and...
Tumblr media
This is so freaking comprehensive and detailed, it's incredible! Look at all those poses and facial expressions!
Comparing Vivzie's works to Tracy's feels kind of unfair, since Tracy has been working on Lackadaisy for 17 years, and it really shows. This is leaps and bounds above Helluva Boss and Hazbin Hotel in quality. Rocky's design is tight; it's detailed, but not overly complicated. There isn't an obnoxious overuse of highly saturated colors, and there's such nice contrast between his fur, his eyes, suit, and tie, making his design very nice to look at. You can also tell so much about his personality and the world he lives in just from his appearance. It's such a good design, and Rocky is just one example from Lackadaisy! All of Tracy's designs are memorable and stand out from one another, unlike so many of Vivzie's characters, whose designs honestly feel interchangable.
So much thought and care has gone into Lackadaisy, and I seriously cannot wait for the full series, as well as all the other amazing indie animated series that have been coming out recently. It's sad that Helluva Boss is seen as the pinnacle of indie animation, when there are so many other series out there that are just.. better! Lackadaisy, obviously, but we've also got Digital Circus, Murder Drones, Monkey Wrench, and so many others that deserve way more appreciation than what Helluva Boss receives. And that's just from an art direction standpoint, we aren't even talking about writing. That's a whole other can of worms.
All of that being said, it's obvious that a ton of love and hard work went into Helluva Boss, and I hold absolutely nothing against the animators and artists at Spindlehorse. These poor design choices are a hallmark of Vivzie's art style, and they're simply working with what they've got. There is such wasted potential here because it feels like Vivzie is too afraid to step outside her comfort zone and design something that isn't a brightly colored, sharp-toothed twink, or skinny anthro wolf girl.
Anyways, that about wraps up my thoughts. Thanks for the ask, this was fun to delve into! And again, I'd be very interested in seeing you post your redesigns! 👀

Hi Bee applestruda I totally agree
––
Autumn came, and with it came a pleasant chill in the air and large, fluffy clouds carried by a lazy breeze. Leaves turning to fiery colours fell from the trees to the ground, adding a delightful crunch to the ambient sounds of travel. Five pairs of feet walked over the leafy path, one in particular stopping by a stand-out patch of purple-blue. Scarred hands gently plucked one of the late blooming lilacs, a grin lighting up dark green eyes as they examined the flower.
“Scar!” Impulse's voice, cheerful and hearty, called out. “You comin', man?”
Scar straightened up, eyes blowing wide open at how far away the others had gotten while he was picking flowers. “Hey! Guys, wait up!” He jogged up to the group before settling back into a casual pace. “I can't believe you were just gonna leave me like that!” he jokingly complained.
“We still can!” Grian chirped, “it's not too late!”
Scar stuck his tongue out at Grian, who made a face back. Scar huffed playfully at that, crossing his arms. “Well, if you're gonna be like that, I'm not gonna give you these flowers!” he teased, watching Grian's eyes widen.
“Give me those!” Grian squawked, trying to grab them from Scar's hand. Unfortunately for him, he was short and Scar was not, so the taller man simply held them above his head.
“Say pleeeease~!” Scar sang out, letting out his little breathy chuckle, a bouncy sound just as signature as his crooked smile.
Grian crossed his arms, glaring playfully up at Scar. “May I please have the flowers, Scar?” he asked, and Scar gracefully nodded.
“Here you are, my good man!” Scar exclaimed, handing the flowers to Grian with a flourish. Grian snatched the flowers and took a moment to admire them before tucking them behind his ear, nestling them carefully against the feathers of his ear wings.
Mumbo laughed, looking Grian up and down. “Looking great, G. Really adds some colour to your outfit,” he teased, and Grian smacked him with a wing.
Pearl turned around, already laughing. “Alright ladies, break it up. If we want to get these apples before fall is over, we gotta pick up the pace and stop it with the infighting.”
“I'm not going to listen to you!” Grian quipped, and Pearl picked an apple off the tree and threw it at his head. He dodged, of course, but she made her point well enough. “Okay, Pearl, void! No need to be so violent! Absolutely crazy, that woman,” he muttered playfully to Mumbo and Scar.
They made their way through the rows of apple trees before deciding on one. Pearl handed Impulse her bag before carefully climbing up into the tree, going higher and higher until she had practically disappeared into the leaves. “The best ones are at the top!” she called, upon hearing Impulse's confusion. “Right, Impy– catch!”
Impulse yelped as Pearl threw an apple down to him, just barely managing to catch it before placing it in the bag. “I don't know how I feel about being the catcher!” he called up to Pearl, “I feel like this is just an excuse to try and hit me in the face with apples!”
Pearl cackled, giving him no real answer as she threw another apple down for him to catch.
Meanwhile, Grian had decided to try and hop up onto Scar's shoulders in order to get the apples that were higher up. Of course, in his classic Grian style, he hadn't informed Scar of that decision beforehand, leading to the two almost falling over. Mumbo laughed at them as he picked his own apples by hand.
Impulse did, in fact, get hit in the face with an apple. Only once, though. Grian and Scar ended up eating more apples than they put in their bags. Mumbo's head sprout accidentally grew an apple that Scar dared Grian to take a bite out of, much to Mumbo's horror.
They ran into Tango and Jimmy on the tail end of their apple picking adventure, and of course Grian tried stealing an apple from Jimmy.
“Don't you dare!” Jimmy snapped, smacking Grian's hand away. “Tango worked so hard to get these for us!”
Tango squeaked, his tail flicking back and forth. “Hey man, I was just– I was just doin' my job, y'know? Climbing trees is fun, too. I don't do it often.”
Pearl gestured at Tango, looking at Impulse. “See? He gets me!”
Impulse rubbed the sore spot on his forehead where he had been beaned with an apple. “Yeah, well, Tango isn't dropping apples on Jimmy's face!”
Pearl snickered, her wings fluttering slightly. “That was an accident, Impulse!” she exclaimed, though the tone of her voice made it very clear that it had been on purpose. “And! And, I apologized!”
Impulse grinned. “Well, you're not forgiven.”
Tango sucked in a dramatic breath through his teeth. “Ooooh, that's rough. Impulse over here holds a grudge like no one else, y'know. He never forgets.”
“I'm still mad from the time you set my pants on fire,” Impulse grumbled.
“That was ten years ago–!”
Jimmy grabbed Tango's arm. “You did what?!”
“Ten years ago!” Tango yelped, and the whole group devolved into cackling laughter.
They said their goodbyes and went to go pay for their apples, and by popular demand, bought some fresh cider donuts as well. The group sat at one of the tables outside, happily munching away at their donuts and chatting about their most recent adventures.
It was a wonderful fall day. The first of many yet to come.

I see all your neopet posts and reblogs, so how a neopet review? What is your favorite neopet design and why?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Gotta go with the Xweetok for this one. I've always loved this design ever since it came out—it's like the perfect blend of cute and elegant at the same time.
Xweetoks are vaguely chipmunk-esq with the stripes and general head shape, but the actual body anatomy is more like a fox than any kind of rodent. The end result is something that feels like it could be a real animal, even if it isn't.
And speaking of stripes, the use of color on these guys is also particularly good. They have these really pretty thick black lines running from their heads all the way down to their tails, with color often (though not always) constrained to the stripe and the mane. For example, in the basic colors shown above, brown is used as the base with bright pops of color elsewhere, rather than the entire Neopet being a single color.
Tumblr media
In addition to the colors being pretty, the lines also accent the body shape and give it a great sense of movement. This is especially noticeable in their old circle pose, where you get this really nice curved body shape due to them sitting backwards.
It's also worth noting that Xweetoks are one of the only Neopet species to have open eyes that don't have human-like corneas or irises but are also more than just black dots. The deep blacks of their eyes really help to accent the black stripes on their bodies, while the color in the middle helps to pop whatever secondary color is used.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Thankfully, Xweetoks also fared pretty well from customization; the only major change is them now having one paw raised up to hold items (which doesn't look great, but it's not like the fists look good on any Neopet) and slightly different front leg anatomy. Some changes, such as removing the weird thin line above the eye and making the mane thicker, are actually improvements. I do wish it kept the highlight on the mane like it did on the head, but otherwise, Xweetoks look just as good now as they did before if you can get over the fist.
(Also, Xweetoks are one of the only species where female pets look better than males, due to the default pre-customization design being taken as the female design for a change.)
Favorite colours:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Faerie: Faerie Xwees have always been absolutely gorgeous. The light brown base combined with teal and dark brown is beautiful, and the shape of the brown markings accents the body wonderfully. I also love the style of the wings and how the antennae on the head run directly off the stripes, the shape of which are matched by the first set of wings. Unconverted faerie Xwees are super dynamic, but the converted ones still look quite nice if you want to be able to customize them.
Tumblr media
Mutant: What a fantastically sleazy design. Taking what's basically a chipmunk of sorts and making the mutant version a rat is a fantastic concept, complete with buck teeth and a naked tail. The expression is also fantastic (slightly more so in the unconverted art, but the converted still looks pretty good).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Pirate: Unfortunately the UC version of this pet isn't available any more as of the time of writing, but even the converted design is nice, with a nice dull grayish-blue base and some nice red and gold accents that really pop. The old art really went hard though, with the mane basically acting as a beard and the face having a different, tougher expression. I particularly love the ponytail at the back of the mane.
Tumblr media
BONUS: I also have to give a shoutout to the fire Xwee, because I have one. :) The fire mane and stripes against the black base works beautiful; definitely one of the all-time best fire pets.

For my birthday,I got this darling.. Antu Dreamlike Tea Party from Penny's Box ,a baby bjd centaur
Tumblr media
So...blind boxes. A plague on earth. Especially if they have to be bought online with proxies. I don't like bind boxes,and I often end up just sculpting the ones I like myself,or looking for an opened box to buy. However, sculpting only works for fixed figures,I can't sculpt a bjd(yet),and I kinda like all of them,so it wouldn't be too bad regardless of which I got,and I decided to take the gamble
Tumblr media
I wanted Field or Memory the most. I don't like the Super Hidden Wish (I like it ,but.... it's a bit too sugary? Doesn't really fit the Centaur theme, it'd be fine for a human girl in my opinion) or the General Hidden Secret much, but I don't have the luck for a super rare chaser,so I was sure I wouldn't get them(and even if I did,my mom loves them so I'd just give it to her). Now,the ones I liked least (but still loved quite a lot) were Sweet Dream and Fantasy. So I assumed I'd get these and spent a lot of time convincing myself that they're absolutely perfect too. But then I remembered that these are the product displays,aka poster girls. So ...I probably won't get them either. Meaning I'll either get Neon or Thought.
I GOT NEON
Rip,even though I bought an actual blind box, I didn't get to open the sealed box,customs opened and resealed it...as they always do :")
Tumblr media
When I opened the box to see the red hooves and tail and wings,I was exhilarated, because red is my favourite colour! Which is great but......
Tumblr media
THEY LOOK SO SIMILAR NOOOOO
My mom looked at the photos of the rest on the box , especially Thought and said "white dress!" and I remembered....
Tumblr media
I have a little obitsu white dress that doesn't fit any doll or figure I have: too wide for nendoroids/kelly/chelsea, too short for bigger dolls which it does fit,and it turns out it's almost the same measurements(a little shorter than) as Neon's dress so.....
Tumblr media
!!!!!!
I made the cherry bag because the one that had come with the dress was way too tiny. I named her Cheri, as in Mon Cheri
Honestly? I couldn't be happier. For someone who loves red as much as I do,I was a bit disappointed at first, because of how similar she and Bun were looking. But with the white dress and cherry bag? I love her even more than Memory and Field,this is THE best outcome. I love her so much!

Summons: Incubus!Noctis Caelum x Fem!Reader (NSFW)
Contains: Incubus!Noctis, biting, breast worship, vaginal fingering, mating press, creampies, dirty talk
Tumblr media
"Did it do anything?"
"It didn't work."
"Nothing happened."
You tossed the chalk to the ground and sat back down on the floorboards. Your friends all had a mixture of emotions painted on their faces ranging between skeptical and really fucking bored to disappointed. You looked back to your side to where the old "tome" sat opened, the spell it was opened to was obviously just a bunch of doodles and jumbled words.
"At least we can say we tried something for Halloween," you shrugged before eyeing them all.
One of your friends stood up, grabbed their backpack and slinging it over their shoulder.
"I gotta go. My dorm stops letting people in soon and I don't wanna wake up my roommate," they sighed before waving goodbye.
The others also started to trickle out one by one until you had been left alone in your dorm room. You stood up, dusting the powdery chalk off of your legs and snatching up the old tome. You and your friends had found it stashed in your school's library behind some of the older books in the fantasy section. One of your friends had slipped it into their back and brought it to your dorm room, showing you all bookmarks they had made with some of the spells and enchantments and summons they wanted to try tonight. Only one could've worked, however; a summoning spell for a demon, the description of the damned devil had been faded and even scratched up leaving so much to the imagination.
Your friends all joked that it would either be a big, brawny and very handsome demon while the others weighed that it could be an actual fucking problem like in the movies. Curiosity killed the coeurl, though, and pretty soon you had drawn out the summoning circle in great detail on your dorm's floors. You had to admit, you were a bit disappointed yourself. You were secretly hoping for a sexy demon to have some fun with, but now you were left with a mess to clean up.
You turned your back to the circle and flipped through more pages of the tome, walking towards the broom and dustpan in the corner when you suddenly felt a pair of eyes on you, burning a hole in the back of your head. Spinning on your heel, you gasped and dropped the dusty old tome to the floor.
You had company.
A man- fuck that, a demon was sitting in the summoning circle. He was on the floor, one leg tucked up while the other was stretched out. Dual black horns curled out from cool black messy hair. Eyes that looked as though he captured galaxies in them bore right into you. He was shirtless, showing off his pale and ashen skin, wearing nothing more than a pair of pants that looked like they were ripped straight from a fantasy game. An ashen tail curled behind him, swaying back and forth, snaking around his leg before brushing around like a cat's.
He eyed you lazily, raising his brows almost as if you were the one that was summoned and he was waiting for you to do your own little tricks.
"Holy shit," you mumbled as you eyed him up and down. "What the fuck?"
"I don't care much for crowds," he uttered as he gave you the same treatment.
"What kind of demon are you?"
He cocked a brow seemingly out of amusement, but you couldn't quite pin it down.
"An incubus. What kind of human are you?"
"Shouldn't Incubus have wings?"
He shot you a look.
"Shouldn't humans not be summoning demons?" Touché. He stood suddenly when you realized he was very much taller than you. He walked towards the edge of the summoning circle, stopping just where the chalk started. His tail twister behind him in curiosity as he eyed you. "You're rather interesting for a human. I'd love to know how you taste."
You were very much aware of the sharp teeth in his mouth. You caught the glints of them in the low lighting of your room.
Your cheeks heated up at his comment.
"Is that so?"
"It's true."
His eyes were staring right into your soul, reading you like an open book. He knew exactly how you were feeling, he probably knew exactly what you were feeling too. It doesn't take a fucking demon to know you were craving something crazed in the sheets. You felt a tingling feeling building up just behind your belly button, you felt your core tighten and warm up.
His nostrils twitched a bit, no doubt he could smell your arousal from where he stood just mere feet away. His eyes flared an even brighter blue. He looked like he was starving for passion and love.
"I can smell your need for me," his smile was handsome even with the fangs. "It's divine."
"Thank you?"
"All you have to do is say you want me," he stared you down, "and I can give you what you want." He eyed your pants before looking back into your eyes. "Just say you want me."
Was this real? Yes. Was this a smart thing to do? Fuck no, it was a damn demon that you just summoned from a nasty ass tome from Astrals knows when. Did you want this? Oh, absolutely!
"Take me," you barely whispered.
He broke from the summoning circle, stepping over the chalk and before eyeing knew it you were pinned against the wall of your dorm. You were thankful that you didn't have a roommate and even more thankful for the Halloween parties that were raging on across campus.
His hands were planted on your shoulders, his sharp nails dug into your jacket and pierced at your skin. His tail wrapped around your thigh and snaked its way upwards. You hissed when it teased at your sex through your pants, pressing against your warmth and tempting you even further into that little pool of list you were so damn adamant on swimming in. His tail tightened around your thigh just enough for it to start to tingle.
You whimpered, craning your neck to to meet his eyes as he stared down at you in pure hunger. Something feral lurked in his eyes and you were loving every second of it. Your body was on fire, your skin reacting so well to his touch. Was this wrong? You were about to make love with a demon. Was it really wrong?
If it was wrong, you didn't want to be right.
He captured your lips with his. He fisted your jacket and brought you as close to his body as he could. Your hands fumbled across his body. He was pretty chiseled with pecs and faint abs on the cusp of being something straight out of a porno. Your hands grabbed at his broad shoulders, anchoring yourself against him as your lips moved in tangent. Your teeth clicked against each others by accident a few times from how rough he was using your poor mouth. You could taste blood starting to linger into the kiss, traces of hearty iron tainting your tongues as he greedily drank you up like he was some vampire.
His tongue rolled over your lips before forcing them apart himself, not caring for you to allow him in. You've already sealed that fate. His tongue was warm and wet and eager to explore. He loved to explore your mouth, eagerly fighting with your tongue as you moaned softly into the kiss. Your fingers tugged at the hair that tickled at his shoulders, earning you a fierce growl from the demon as his claws sank into you more.
When he grew tired of your mouth, he parted from it and trailed his tongue down your jaw to your neck. He pressed hot, open mouthed kisses to your jugular, lapping at your pulse and nosed at the column of your throat. He inhaled your scent like he could get high off of the smell alone before licking at it again with that tongue of his. Oh Astrals, what you want him to do with that tongue alone.
He pressed hot kisses to your throat right where your pulse was the strongest, each kiss getting rougher than the last until he finally sank his sharp teeth into your delicate skin. You cried, sinking your nails into his shoulders to anchor yourself against him as your knees wobbled and threatened to give out under your weight.
Your head rolled back and smacked against your wall when his tail teased at your sex, pressing firmly against the swollen flesh, teasing at the wet spot that was slowly growing in the crotch of your pants.
His teeth unlatched from your throat and he nosed at your ear, nibbling at your earlobe and smirked.
"You're already hot and bothered and I've just been kissing you," he purred in your ear. "So eager for me."
"Please," you whimpered.
Your hands caressed up his ashen neck, toying with his locks of soft black hair.
"What do you want? Tell me."
"Please, just fuck me already. Please?"
He pinned you to the bed, his clawed hand wrapped around your jaw as he hovered above you. His palm covered your mouth, muffling your moans and pants. His eyes were wild, his teeth bared. He looked like a wild animal.
"You're very interesting for a human," he thought out loud, "I think I'll keep you around when I'm done here."
Your clothes were suddenly missing from your person, your skin chilled and your body hair stood up on its ends at the sudden loss of protection. Your cheeks lit aflame under his intense gaze, heat crawling up your face as your mind grew slightly embarrassed from the whole situation. Your hands tried to cover at your nude body, shying away from his sight as you turned your head away as the demon’s eyes lavished over your perfect form. He batted your hands away, clawed fingers wrapping around your wrists and pulling them away, planting them on either side of your head as he locked eyes with you once more.
“Don’t hide from me,” his eyes lit up like neon signs you would see cutting through the darkness of downtown Insomnia.
You were hypnotized by how beautiful his eyes were, you didn’t feel his hands release your wrists until you felt them gently caressing your body. He started at your hips, squeezing at your soft flesh before he followed the curves up to your waist and soon found his claws dragging up your ribcage right to your breasts. Your nipples had already pebbled from the cold, your body felt as though it was set on fire. Your nerves crackled with life when the calloused pads of his thumbs rolled over such sensitive flesh that it had you flinching, sucking in a quick breath through your teeth.
For a demon, he was surely being gentle with you.
His hands squeezed at your breasts, his fingertips digging in deep enough to just teeter on the brink of eliciting pain but not pushing past into that threshold. He kneaded at your breasts for a minute, drawing out soft sighs and delicate moans from your lips as your eyes fluttered shut. He slowly brought his head down, removing his hand that fondled with your left breast. You felt his warm breath hit your skin followed by wet warmth as he latched onto your nipple. You cried out loud, suddenly slapping a hand over your mouth as you suddenly remembered you were in a dormitory with dozens of people on your floor still bustling around you.
You felt his smirk into your tit before he nipped at the bud of your nipple. You hissed, your free hand coming down to snatch at one of his horns to tug his head even closer to you. You cried out again into your palm this time when you felt his sharp teeth gently sink into your nipple, tugging at it as he sucked at your supple skin. He growled sexually into your skin at the noises you were making.
You felt his tail caressing your thigh, slowly working its way between your legs and nudging them apart just enough for him to slot one of his knees between them. He pressed his knee right up against your throbbing cunt that was slick with your arousal.
He released your poor breast only to latch onto the other. Instead of replacing your now sore and tender breast with his hand to knead the soft skin, he instead brought it down to your aching pussy and caressed your dripping folds. You jumped at the feeling of his cold claw slowly slide against you, parting your cunt as the rough pad of his index finger rubbed at you. You groaned, digging the back of your head into the rumpled sheets below. He was careful with you still, never going too fast with your delicate skin, never drawing blood as he rubbed at your pussy with his clawed finger. He quickly added a second one, arching it just enough for the tip of his claw to scratch lightly at your cunt and pull a gasp from you before you suddenly choked on a moan. You screwed your eyes shut as a surge of something electrical shocked your entire body, your limbs suddenly going a little numb as your body twitched and trembled at the feelings he was pulling from you by just sucking at your tits and fingering you as best as he could.
He pulled away from your breast and looked up at your face when he felt you look away, your grip on his horn almost faltered, sliding down the curved base until you moved your hand to grasp lightly at his dark locks.
“Look at me,” he growled darkly. He quickened his pace with your cunt. You felt your legs start to tremble, your core start to tighten, you didn’t have much longer. “Look at me when you cum.”
His voice sounded more demonic at that statement. You loved the sense of danger that washed over your senses. Your eyes shot open despite your eyelids pulling with exhaustion and made eye contact with his galactic eyes. They bore into you, read your entire soul as though it was an open book.
You came suddenly on his fingers, eyes squeezing shut again only for a brief second as your vision went white. Your body shook and locked up, your hands clung to his body burning hot with desire. Your eyes fluttered open once more when you felt his fingers massaging deep into you before he pulled away. You watched as he sat back on his haunches and stared at his two fingers covered in your sweet nectar, the clear and thick fluid clinging to his skin as it shined in the low lighting in your dorm. He brought his fingers up to his mouth and lapped at them, his sharp tongue tasting your sweet orgasm with a satisfied groan, his eyes shutting as he enjoyed how perfect you tasted. Once he had licked his fingers clean of you, he opened his eyes and looked down at you still trembling from your climax.
“You taste so divine,” he praised. “I could eat you out for days on end and never get tired of how perfect you taste to me.”
His eyes lazily looked down at your cunt now slick with what remained of your climax before he looked back up at you.
“Please,” you whimpered pitifully.
“What do you want me to do to you?” he asked coyly.
“Fuck me. Please?”
You saw his sharp teeth when he smiled devilishly at you.
His pants were quickly discarded and your eyes went wide at the side of his cock. Would that even fit? Your thighs tried to close themselves on instinct, your body in sudden shock at how hung he was. Why did it surprise you so? He was a demon after all.
He climbed over you, his clawed hands snatched at the sheets on either side of your head as he brought his trim waist down close to yours. You flinched when you felt the head of his cock press against your folds and parted them with ease. He dragged his cock along your sweet little cunt, lathering his head with as much of your spilled climax as he could until you felt a tap at your passageway.
He connected his lips to yours, swallowing your cries when he thrusted into you. Your hands snatched at his shoulders, nails biting into his hot skin as his cock speared right into you. You felt so horribly full with just the little bit he had pressed into you, your walls stretched so painfully yet so deliciously that you craved more. He sank his hips down as low as he could before he bottomed out inside of you. You screamed against his lips, cried into the cavity of his mouth as his tongue explored yours when you felt his head tap at your cervix.
He suddenly broke the kiss to snatch at your ankles. He gave you no time to adjust and prepare, he gave you no warning as to what he was about to do. He suddenly brought your knees up to your chest as he held your ankles up over your head as far as they would go. He spread your legs apart and sat up straight, towering over you as he pressed himself almost completely into you. Your head craned back, mouth hung open as you moaned out loud. You didn’t care who heard you at this point.
He gave you very little time to prepare before he started thrusting at an inhuman pace. His hips smacked against yours, his heavy balls slapped against you, his cock stretched you out to the point you thought your poor cunt would tear. You were once again teetering on the edge between pleasure and pain and you were living for it.
His claws sank into your ankles just enough for blood to start to bead at the marks he left behind. He kept his eyes on you as he fucked you like an animal. They were full of lust and drank up your sinful desires like his life depended on it.
“Fuck! You feel so good-” he panted between thrusts. “I’m not letting you out of my life.”
“Please! Ah- I- fuck,” you struggled to catch a breath.
Your legs strained uncomfortably at the stretch he was forcing. Your knees being tucked up to your chin left little room for you to breathe.
“I’m gonna cum inside of you, make you mine,” he snarled down at you through bared fangs.
You could feel his abs twitching with his thrusts, you could feel his cock harden and flinch inside of your velvety walls.
You came apart once again, your walls fluttering against his cock as you cried out loud. It felt as though the air had been punched out from your lungs, it felt as though your mind was hit with a flashbang.
His thrusts became sloppy and harsh. With every thrust, he growled and snarled and moaned. He suddenly latched a hand onto your jaw and forced you to look at him. His galactic gaze made the heavy feeling in your chest grow all warm and fuzzy.
“What are you?” he snarled.
“Yours,” you whispered back. “I’m yours.”
He thrusted harshly into you one last time before he suddenly came inside of you. He roared, throat flexing as his larynx bobbed. He shot thick, hot ropes of cum right into your waiting womb, painting the poor thing white as he filled you until you were full. He refused to leave you at first, he loved the euphoric feeling of how your walls milked him for everything he had. You groaned softly at how full you felt, and the demon above you shushed you softly, slowly dropping your legs down as his cum started to drip from your abused cunt.

EP 4 PREMIERE LETS GOO (SPOILERS UNDER THE CUT)
Uzi's wing backpack is really cute! hope it's not foreshadowing anything :)
YES KHAN BE EMOTIONALLY VULNERABLE AND TRUST YOUR DAUGHTER WITH HER OWN FUTURE! I KNOW I KEPT SHIT TALKING YOU BUT I ALWAYS BELIEVED THAT ONE DAY YOU WOULDN'T ROYALLY SCREW UP EVERYTHING
also was Nori the one initially obsessed with doors? and doll's dad. he was in the photo too, but then again, so was khan. Was he infected or not? if he has an id card, i didn't see it
does. does no one know who uzi is?? she literally exploded a gun in the middle of class that isn't something you'd easily forget. i mean i guess no one would really "know" her considering her complete and utter lack of friends up until now
N AND V AS CAMP COUNSELORS HAHAHAHA OH THIS IS GOING TO GO GREAT I CAN ALREADY TELL
all the other drones immediately fawning over N and V lmao.
ooh uzi's got a much better grasp of her powers now. someone's been practicing
LMAO THEY EXPLICITLY SAID "THERE WERE NO DOGS ON COPPER 9 WHEN EVERYTHING WENT TO SHIT ALSO DOGS ARE IMMORTAL NOW"
oh N and V playing nice with the workers is really cute (also lizzy gets to sit with V!)
(also was i not paying attention or did thad just straight up disappear halfway through the episode)
V's being weird and cryptic again... also girl you know you're bluffing stop pretending you can just get rid of Uzi without consequences.
is uzi... resentful? is she upset that two literal murderers are able to make friends easier than her? poor girl.
oh hey doll. we thought you were dead (and you might still be idk what your fucking deal is anymore)
the killing/not killing the bug symbolism carries over to this episode too.
this bug can communicate! and we know for sure that it's connected to the solvers now!
it called her 002. it thinks she's nori. Were the inital test subjects registered, but not their children? would doll scan as yeva's number? (can't remember it off the top of my head)
oh she just turned that arrow into flesh. oh dear god it's alive. i never thought i say this, but i'm with uzi's classmates on this one what the fuck was that
"i live in the woods now!" ah yes that'll solve everything great job
oh uzi :( so this is why doll had such a large supply of oil on hand. good thing she had the stomach to drink it
(ok yeah thad's not with the group anymore where did he fuck off to)
YES N STAND UP TO V. DEMAND ANSWERS.
"she's a kid, like us V!" ... ok how old are they actually i want to know. "like us" implies similar age range at least and they kind of hinted at Uzi being 18-20 with the prom posters but i wish they'd just TELL us in canon or word of god it on twitter or something
LIZZY-
I thought rebecca's bf was Brad? did they break up? quick rebound time damn
oh doesn't matter they're gonna fucking die
JCjenson made a tape about "zombie drones". what did they know.
Flashback images: Tessa (looking VERY drone like), a severed hand hanging from a chandelier, and an explosion (that looks VERY solver-esque.)
oh shit's going downhill very quickly.
OH DEAR GOD. REBECCA. sorry Rebecca enjoyers that's an L for you guys.
OH. OH NO UZI. SHE'S GOT MURDER DRONE POWERS AND SOLVER POWERS YOU GUYS ARE FUCKED.
"Killing her, not saving you." it can be both V it's ok
did. did V just call her CYN? DID V JUST CALL HER CYN????
V GET YOUR ASS BACK HERE AND EXPLAIN YOURSELF
oh her tail's got teeth. no nanites though...
ngl N's pretty much the best person who could've possibly shown up at that moment
her wing joints are human arm skeletons. nope. don't like that.
ohh N is just the sweetest. very emotionally aware too
V what are you smiling at. V is there something you want to tell us
i know we were all joking about V x Lizzy but i'm not sure it's a joke anymore
i'm not going to ask how riding the bus like a stagecoach works
V taking blame for the murders? aww you do care <3
is n scared of his connection to uzi? worried that he might be dangerous to her? or is he secretly scared of her but not willing to leave his first real friend?
( i know i've mentioned this three times now but thad's not on the bus. where did he go. did he just decide fuck this i'm not dying here and walk home?)

I DID IT, I FINALLY DREW SOMETHING AFTER IDK HOW LONG WHOO
Once I get better at drawing faces, it's over for everyone !! 🤣 My clothes look decent... Ish. I'm just undecided on designs and it's very rough, but I didn't let myself erase too much because I wanted to complete something (because I need to stop being so afraid of creating bad things, since practice helps a ton)
It's literally just my mc but in their demon disguise for nightbringer, and parts of it look similar to Mammon's. Like the wings and there's like, a chain belt situation going on, with a diamond shape connecting everything. They also have a tail (was thinking of Levi with that one)
I just like the idea of my mc's demon form taking elements from the people she was closest to in the present. Anyway present Mammon would have a heart attack seeing this outfit because WHEW, i gotta admit the outfit is hot
I'm actually really happy I created something. I didn't think I would be, but it's a start
- ✨ anon
WOO HOO!
I'm proud of you, ✨ anon!
As creators, it's always hard to ignore that impulse to make everything perfect. But you're right that it's okay to make "bad" stuff! And most of the time, the stuff you think is bad really isn't as bad as you think it is lol.
When you're learning how to do something, it's usually best to focus on quantity over quality for a bit! The more you do something, the more you start to understand how to make it better. Your body just learns the ways, somehow it clicks in your mind.
And then you can slow down a bit, take your time, do a couple of pieces that take you much longer.
I'm glad you were able to create something you're happy about!
It sounds like your MC has a great demon design! I like the idea of the MC sorta taking pieces from the demons they were close to in the present, too. It's like you can't help but manifest that in your demon design because of your ties to those demons, you know?
I've thought about my MC's demon form, but of course I have no ability to draw it lol. But that's okay, it exists in my mind and that's enough for me!
Anyway, I like that your MC has both wings and a tail. I always thought of demons as having both, so I think it makes sense for that to be a thing at least some demons in the Devildom have. Even if we don't know of any lol.
Present Mammon would blush profusely and tell your MC to put something else on! Nobody else gets to see ya like that but him, got it?!

Flustered - Part 6
Please read before interacting.
Thank you guys for your patience! It's been a rough few weeks.
Tumblr media
The other recoms were harassing you less and less after word spread about your conversation with a few of them. You were alone in the recom quarters, snuggled up against Alicia's chest and dozing lightly. Her fingers scratched gently up and down your back, tail swishing idly where it poked out underneath her. You reached out, wrapping your hand around her tail and lightly tugged. Her eyes popped open and she tapped your shoulder.
"There a reason you're playing with my tail, Y/N?"
"Yeah.. it's just so.. so fluffy!"
She snorted and flicked her tail so it brushed across your face. You laughed softly and cuddled closer.
"What's going on with you? Not that I mind how cuddly you are today.."
You huffed a breath and pushed up, looking down at her. I just feel so blah. Every day is just starting to blur together and I feel a little bit lost in the mix is all."
She nodded and brushed her thumb against your cheek, purring when you leaned into her touch. "Well. I've got an idea. IF you feel up to it."
~~~
You stumbled through the hallway, yelping when your shin banged against something.
"Shit! Y/N, sorry! We're almost there."
You tugged at the blindfold wrapped around your face over the mask. She swatted your hands away. "Almost there, I swear just bear with me."
She pushed open a door and you heard the hiss in the small area before you stepped through the final door outside. Once you made it through there, she swept you up into her arms. "I know you can't see my face right now, but if you could it would be saying 'Why didn't you just carry me out here so I didn't have to smash my leg on something?'.
She huffed. "Yeah... my bad. Almost there."
You heard a screech close by and a breeze rustling against your skin. Your eyes widened as she pulled the blindfold off and you made eye contact with her banshee. It cocked its head, staring you down. "Uh. Honey.. Are you sure? I don't know if this is a great idea."
"Do you really not want to?" Her face fell, and you gently squeezed her arm.
"I don't know; I'm just a bit scared about it."
Her fangs flashed. "That's better than blah, right?"
You giggled, "I suppose so. Okay. Let's do it."
She set you down, gently rubbing the neck of her banshee as she made the bond. She lifted you up, helping you settle into the saddle and swinging up behind you. Her banshee shook underneath you, eager for flight. She patted it reassuringly and grabbed your hands, placing them on the tie between the creature's kuru.
"I need you to hold on so tight, Y/N."
"Hmm. That's what she said."
Her husky laughter made her body shake against yours and she pinched your thigh. "Damn right, baby. But really, please hold on tight because you falling off is not part of my plan today."
You gripped the tie and shifted forward, her following your motion, thighs squeezing around you. Your eyes shut tightly, heart pounding.
"Fly." Your stomach dropped as the powerful wings rose up and the creature beneath you pushed off from the ground. An arm wrapped around your waist as you leveled out higher up. Your breath came out in sharp gasps until you felt her fingers crawl underneath your shirt and brush against your waist. "It's alright. Open your eyes."
You sighed, peeking out one eye and shutting them immediately. "How did you know my eyes were closed?"
"Because I know you, silly girl. And I know they're still closed. Open up."
The banshee underneath you made a sound that almost sounded like laughter. You pouted and opened your eyes, gaping at the sight below you. The forest was bright and beautiful as you flew past the trees. It seemed like Polyphemus was even bigger than normal. You squealed as the banshee tipped down below you, heading to the water.
You tilted slightly to the side, her banshee's wings skimming the water's surface and splashing water up, causing you to burst out laughing. Alicia smiled down at you, pressing a kiss to the top of your head. Her chest swelled with emotion, watching you become carefree as you rode together. Your hands fidgeted as you went over the water, wanting to hold them out to the wind.
Her arm tightened around your waist. "I know what you're wanting. Go ahead, I've got you."
You flung your arms out, feeling the breeze tickle your fingers and yelled, "I'm king of the world!"
She laughed behind you, recognizing the line from the old movie you'd watched together. Your hands came down, squeezing her arm as you leaned back into her chest.
"God, I love you."
Your body froze against hers and your fingers tingled, nerves short-circuiting as you processed what she'd said. "You what?" you whispered back to her.
Her head came down, cheek against your shoulder. "I love you, Y/N. I- yeah. I do."
You turned your head, bumping your mask-covered forehead to her flushed cheek. "I love you too, Alicia. Thank you for today."
~~~
You stepped through the inner door and pulled off your mask, sighing in relief. She smiled, her eyes landing on you and darting away, unable to stop wringing her hands together. You reached out, grabbing her fingers and squeezing her hands in your small ones. "Bring the respirator. You're coming with me tonight."
Her eyes widened as she snatched hers off the wall and turned to see you disappear around a corner, flashing a sweet smile over your shoulder.

The White Knight and the Lone Raven
How the Two Vessel's Meet
Enemies to Friends to Lovers
Tumblr media
Lucian Mackinley, the vessel of the Noble Sevens, was tasked to find the other vessel of the Great Sevens, called the "Evil Flower." Before they could take over Twisted Wonderland. Or so he been told.
The King (of KoH) wanted him to kill it before it's too late. As for the Queen, she only told Lucian to observe to see if this evil flower really evil or misunderstood.
"Your Majesty, not to be rude, but why do you think the evil flower is misunderstood? The phropercy said so."
"Lucian, they might of been hurt so bad that it's hard to let go. Instead of raising your weapon on them, try to lend a hand. Listen to their story, heal their broken wound, and guide them to a happy ending."
After hearing those words from the Queen, he couldn't understand what she could have meant. As the white carriage carried on, Lucian was sent off to attend Royal Sword Academy to start off with his quest.
"Don't worry, little apple. Maybe once you meet this other vessel, they might not be so bad after all." (Snow White)
"Hard to say, I couldn't forgive what Ursula did to my father." (Queen Ariel)
"Same here. The Queen is just pacifiest." (Sultaness Jasmine)
"Wild Flower, just take easy and enjoy the view outside or get some sleep before you arrive." (Queen Aurora)
'I will. Thank's, Mother Aurora.' (Lucian)
It's been 9 months and still can't find the evil flower vessel. Lucian had been busy with their school life, finishing essays, group projects, sword practice, upcoming potion presentation, and keeping quiet bein the vessel of the protagonists, and their sidekicks. Well, not that everyone knnows about them except his home country.
He even got himself some sort of cat beast which he encounter during his orientation. A female magical cat beast with white fur and their pink flaming tail. With name suggestions from the noble sevens, they name it Felicia.
Friday was here, Lucian went to a fast food place to eat dinner as he can't cook anything other than making breakfest. As he walk out with his food, there he sense it.
'The evil flower must have been near.' (Lucian)
"Be careful kiddo. Remember to what my decendant said." (Hercules)
"Don't draw attention, cub." (Simba)
As to what they said, Lucian looked around his suroundings. There he saw a figure in the distance far away, and their....huh? Is it another magical cat?
"Grim, we need to head back home. The sun is setting." (???)
"Mmm..." (Grim)
"Aww~ You went fast asleep. Dont worry, I'll cary you back." (???)
To Lucian surprise, this person, the evil flower the king told him, just turn out to be a teenager like him. As he walk to them, he feels a powerful aura from them.
"Oh? Can I help you?" (???)
And... CLIFFHANGER! Now as for Lucian, I thought about him being the "Yuu" version of RSA, just the opposite as for Yuu in NRC are friendly than the rest of NRC students.
And if he is a similar of Yuu, then he should get a magical familiar. A ragdoll cat, the opposite of Grim by having flames inside of his ears and having a pitchfork tail like.
With Felicia, she has a pink tail flame, and little feather wings by their paws for glidding, not flying. The name is referance to the kitten in The Artistocats movie. She would have a have scarf with the magic stone on it.
Now time to prepare myself as the Diasomnia Arc part 5 is tomoroow.

Hi everyone!!
Lots of people asked for the pattern I used for my Joel and Lizzie dolls, but due to my mental unwellness, my "pattern" was actually a chaotic blend of multiple patterns, as well as my own spontaneity.
Nonetheless, I am going to attempt to explain the method to my madness in this post! (Fair warning, it will get long.)
(If you actually want to try to recreate this please PLEASE reach out to me!!! I can go into way more detail and do diagrams and whatnot if you really wanna see the full idea!!!)
I'm gonna do my best to divide this up into sections based on how I made them, but because I modified a lot of things and Joel and Lizzie are clearly not the same, it may get a little muddled along the way, but here goes!
The Bodies
First thing's first, this is the link to the tutorial I used for the basic body shape. Super great video, easy to understand, fantastic starting point for any doll!! :D
For Joel, I followed the tutorial pretty exactly, minus that middle seam for a belt. I changed colors for the boots, pants, and coat and kept all the measurements the same.
For Lizzie, I modified her pattern to be a little bit bigger bc haha funny tall wife. On parts of the pattern where the stitch count stayed the same, I added a few more rows to make them longer. I added 4 rows to the legs, 3 rows to the chest, and two rows to the arms.
Like this!
Tumblr media
listen I had to visualize it somehow-
I also did a gradient for Lizzie's arms/legs/tail! Here is the video I used to figure out how to do it (I don't have the measurements for where I changed colors I'm sorry I'm goofy </3)
Also, here is a link to a post where I half-heartedly liveblogged the early stages of making them. You can kinda get a rough idea of where I changed colors for different parts of their outfits, etc. but I only got two steps, really- oops.
The Clothes
Now, this is the part where I documented virtually nothing, but honestly, it still turned out just fine!
For Joel, I made boot and sleeve cuffs by just single crocheting a chain to fit around his arm/leg and adding a couple of sc (single crochet) rows. Then I sewed the ends together with a long yarn tail, used thinner gold yarn to add some detailing (look up backstitching! it works really well!!), and sewed the edges on.
His coat ends were made in the same way, but bigger, and instead of sewing the edges fully together, I only connected the top stitches when I was attaching it. And because I'm a messy sewer, I easily hid the seam with a black sc-chain belt :)
The gold details of his coat is also a sc-chain just sewed on. The edges at the bottom... were sorta a sc-hemming type deal-? I don't know, I winged it and I don't like how it turned out </3
The shoulder pads I actually can tell you! It's 5 sc in a magic circle, sc around, and then I picot stitched around in each stitch. Then I tied off a long tail and sewed it onto the top of the arms before I attached them. The badge/flower is the same pattern, but without the sc round in between the mc and the picots.
The sash was a little wonky doing it as a full loop the whole time, so it was basically a long rectangle and when I was attaching the ends together I did it under the shoulder things so it wouldn't be bulky and ugly on top. I think it's decently easy to understand from the pictures in the original post, but if not lmk! (if any of this is coming across at all then bless you tbh.)
The collar is just two rectangles I sewed side by side, they don't continue to the back at all bc they were ugly /lh
And this is the tutorial I used for the crown! I threaded a little piece of green yarn through to make the jewel and tied a knot in the back :)
For Lizzie, I literally made the skirt up as I went along, but it was roughly based on this video. I started with a sc chain to get the right size, then made it a rectangle for a couple of rows (maybe like four?) before joining it together. (That way, I could make the skirt separately and still be able to get it back on her when I was done without being too tight!)
At some point, I picked a stitch as my "center point" and started going back and forth from about that point instead of completing the full circle, doing half double crochets close to it, then double crochets, then triple crochets, then back to dc and hdc as I got close to it again. I think I did about 6-8 for each stitch type section? The GOAL was to make the skirt's hem asymmetrical, which worked, but it's hard to explain bc I literally made it up.
Then I made another sc chain for the belt thing after I attached it :)
The top detailing is also a sc chain, but with some joined yarn above the arms for extra color. There's also bits of yarn that are supposed to be straps, but you can't really see them in any of the pictures, so that's optional rip.
For the frilly hem, I joined the yarn at the "center point" and basically just worked around the whole hem repeating (1 dc, 2dc inc) to make it all wavy and fun!
The Hair
The pattern I based the hair off of was from this kpop star doll that I was originally going to base my entire Joel doll off of.
The difference is I changed the lengths of the strands (I did it based off looks, so all of them are slightly different in length to look more natural) and also color changed the very front few strands of Joel's hair to be green. I also put two strands in a few of the back stitches instead of just one so they completely covered the back of the head (so there are 15-16 strands instead of 14.)
To attach the hair, I used pins to mark out where I wanted to place each strand. Here's a quick progress shot I sent to my friends:
Tumblr media
Now, I wasn't smart, and used long pieces of thread from tying off the "hair mop" to sew all the strands onto the head individually. It took forever and make it kinda messy in the back because of weird overlapping. If I could redo it now, I'd use fabric glue or something to glue each strand so it lays flat, although if you don't have it or want to avoid the potential mess, sewing it does in fact work just fine.
Extra Bits (mostly for Lizzie)
Lizzie's tail is more or less the same as her arm, but it starts thinner and goes for longer at the end. For the frilly edge, I remember using a crochet beta fish fin design, but I can't for the life of me find it in my history now?? But it was essentially joining the yarn a few stitches from the point and crocheting (hdc, dc 2x, tr, dc 2x, hdc, dc 2x, tr) and mirroring it on the other side so it looked like this:
Tumblr media
Here's a closer view of both the tail and the skirt's hem.
Lizzie's fins were made by making a magic circle, chaining 4 and sc-ing back, and slip stitching back into the circle three times to make the three points. Then I joined onto one point with the lighter color and sc-ed along to the other point to make it more detailed.
Tumblr media
Here's a cursed image I sent to my friends of bald Lizzie and her fins.
Lizzie's space buns were a fever dream to me because I made them at 1 am, but I did something that looks similar to this puff stitch flower with only three "petals." I attached it to the head and then used a short chain of another color to add some color and detail.
Tumblr media
Here's a view of a bun from the top.
---
I think that's just about it! If I missed anything or want to know how I did something better, please please PLEASE reach out to me!!
I'd love to go into more depth on things, but I predict this post will top off at 5 notes so I don't really want to spend hours explaining something that'll go completely unseen /lh
Nonetheless, I hope you enjoyed this little insight into the inner workings of my brain! Feel free to share and tag me in anything if you decide to try to do this yourself.
Cheers!! <3

Ichi: Word of fuckin advice- only one you'll ever get from me. Stay away from the monkey.
Goji: Why? What's with him?
He looks over at Kong who's introducing himself to Vivienne, the Chens, Rodan, Maia, and Mothra. For an ape, he's been very tame and cordial so far- he was a little quiet, but weren't they all?
Ichi: Psychic. He can read minds.
Goji: Huh?? Did he read yours?
Ichi: He knew about the horns.
Goji: The- ohhhh.
Ichi: And the tail. And the two dicks. And the double prostate-
Goji: Jesus, what?! He's got you fucking marked.
Ichi: I know! I hate it. And I know you didn't say anything because if you did…
Goji: I didn't! I swear!
Ichi: Good. I'm sure Rodan would love to know how to make your leg hike like a bitch in heat…
Goji: Yeah, I get it. But how can an ape be a psychic??
Ichi: I dunno… but if he knows mine- I gotta find his…
He looks towards Andrews, and idea popping into his head…
Ichi: Ay, I lent you a twenty the other day; pay up.
Goji: Uh- why now?
Ichi: I'm buying off the girl- gimmie a beer as well.
Goji: Great Founding Titan, this'll be good.
He hands him a twenty and a beer from the fridge, Ichi stalks towards Andrews.
Ichi: Hello, new arrival! Can I just say how nice it is to finally have fresh company? I've gotten to know everyone that's already here so well by now, what's your name?
Andrews: Oh, hi! I'm Andrews!
Ichi: Ichi. Arrival gift, just for you.
He holds out the beer.
Andrews: Oh, thank you!
She grabs the top, and Ichi pulls her close so he's at her ear.
Ichi: What's his weak-spot?
Andrews: Fucking what?
Ichi: What'll make him squeal? What'll get him to really cry out like a bitch? He ticklish? Got any special spots we don't?
Andrews: Uhhh- oh- just now noticing the twenty…
Kong: And I'm just now noticing the snake in the room…
Ichi: Shit.
He immediately backs off, Kong staring daggers into him.
Ichi: Uhhh- heheh.
Kong: Insecure? Couldn't leave well enough alone?
Ichi: Hey, fair is fair!
Kong: Jeez dude, no it's not. I already know everyone's weaknesses anyways- wasn't gonna say or do anything about em unless it was consensual.
Mothra: Do you, now? Tell us what you think they are, why don't you? We're all mates here.
Kong: Uh- ok.
Kong: Godzilla's got sensitive gills; you've got sensitive wings; the three lightning stooges get all moany when you stroke their horns or pull their tails, also they have two dicks and two prostates to pump them with; Rodan's got a sensitive chest; Tiamat's got sensitive frills; and the Skullcrawlers like having their tails tugged too.
Godzilla chokes on his beer, Mothra goes wide eyed, Tiamat snaps backwards over the couch, and the crawlers jaws all drop to the floor.
Rodan: I'm sorry, WHAT?? All this time, I thought I was the only one with a quirk like that!?
Vivienne: Uh- yeah- I never knew that either.
Mothra: Ok to be fair I was planning on telling you eventually, but how did he know??
Ichi: HE'S A PSYCHIC SNAKE! HE CAN GET ALL OF OUR SECRETS ON A DIME!
Vivienne: …what
Andrews laughs along with this for a second before firmly taking the beer from Ichi. The humans and Rodan are all joking about it while every other Titan looks like they want to murder Kong in various ways.
Andrews: Oh, by the way- he's got sensitive nipples. Also, he's a virgin out the back, if you know what I mean.
Instantly; Ichi, Ni, San, and Goji's visions snaps on Kong with devilish grins.
Ghidorah & Godzilla: Oh, is he now...
Kong: Hey, traitor!
Andrews: All's fair in love and war!
She holds up the twenty, uncaps the beer, and takes a seat in the corner to watch the chaos unfold…
Hopefully Kong's natural intuition regarding sweet spots will assist him, because this party might be a little more than he can handle~

Neopet review: the Zafara! Last in the alphabet of neopets, but certainly not last on how cool they are!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I always enjoy a good abstract creature that's still a believable animal, so unsurprisingly, I like Zafaras a lot. They've got a really unique body shape amongst Neopets that's vaguely like a kangaroo, but that's where the similarities stop. I really like the feathery structure to their tails, their long ears, and that random set of spines they have along their back.
Visually, my only nitpick is that I'm not a big fan of the base color's palettes—most PB colors fix this, but the base colors have a weird mix of beige, pink, blue and black going on with their accents and none of it goes together. I feel like the back spines should've been black along with the nose, or the spots should've been beige instead or black, etc etc.
Tumblr media
I'd argue Zafaras mostly benefited from customization as their old art was getting very dated by the time the conversion happened, and they likely would've received a redraw even if customization didn't become a thing. Plus a lot of the updates look really good, such as the tail tip shape being improved, fluff being added to the chest so they don't have a weird shape jutting out there, the feet being lengthened, etc. The only downgrade are the fists, and that's just a standard thing for customization.
Tumblr media
My only other minor nitpick is that old Zafara eyes were almost pitch black and it gave them what I can best describe as a sopping wet meow meow vibe that gets lost nowadays. Even when they had color in their eyes, it was more of a crescent shape and overall cuter. Granted, though, the new eyes are more in line with other Neopets, so I get the change.
Favorite Colours:
Tumblr media
Christmas: While most Christmas pets are just the standard reds and greens, the Christmas Zafara goes in a completely different direction by being an angel with a very pretty white and yellow color palette and a nice get of wings. It's super simple but very pretty. I also like how they fixed the color balancing that I mentioned above by changing the ear spots to yellow and making the tail tip match. (I do kind of wish the nose were black or something, but that's an extreme nitpick.)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Maraquan: I am 100% cheating by including this one because I usually try to stick to only pet colors you can obtain in the present day, but with UC styles becoming a thing I'm hopeful we'll be getting the old design back one day.
Because yeah, I absolutely love the pre-customization design; making it a sort of sea horse/leafy seadragon cross works perfectly with the Zafara's body shape, the pose is lively, and I love the bright pink fin accents to contrast with the teal body striping.
(The converted is... okay, but the concept was completely lost by changing the pose, the striping was reduced too much, and the body has this bizzaro lumpy shape instead of being a smooth curve like it should be.)
Tumblr media
Water: Technically speaking this isn't too fancy, but I just think they did such a nice job with this one. There's so much gorgeous detail in the shading along the head and tail splashes, and the artist really did a good job at capturing that watery look. The choice to make the head tuft and tail splashes in the first place was a great choice, and I especially love how the ear spots are water bubbles. Super pretty all around.
Tumblr media
BONUS: I really like burlap pets and think it's an underrated color, so I figured I should give the burlap Zafara a shoutout for being one of the best burlaps out there. The colors are kept muted, the uncanny valley vibe is present, the way they handled the fur tufts looks great, and I like the various slate blue patches on the body, which match with the back spines, spots, and eyes.

Whats the General idea of humans in Twisted Wonderland? And What do the students from Heartslabyul, Scarabia & Pomefiore think of the humans that their dorms represents? +what does Malleus and Lilia think of humans? (If they're still immortal in this au)
Tumblr media
Oh boy! *cracks knuckles* More worldbuilding! And it's a doozy of a question too! :D
To start off, I'll answer the easiest of the questions: what are the Great Seven? I've broken them down as follows:
The Queen of Hearts--human
The King of Beasts--manticore (still in beast form as he is in game)
The Sea Witch--kraken
The Sorcerer of the Sands--human
The Beautiful/Fairest Queen--human
The King of the Underworld--centaur (sleipnir variation. Yes, I know it's more Norse, but I see him having multiple smoke-like legs as a centaur akin to his toga)
The Fairy of Thorns/Thorn Fairy--dragon (depicted with tail and dragon wings that fold over her shoulders like a cloak or out like in the live action movie)
Now, originally I was going to make them all based off some form of monster or other mythology...but aside from Jafar, nothing really seemed fitting for the remaining two, and so I left all three as humans. Thus, we are left with the questions: how are humans perceived? What do the three dorms think of the very humans their dorm represents? 🤔
To start off, it's safe to say that they are still revered in Twisted Wonderland even amongst monsters--both magical and non-magical due to their accomplishments and noble efforts to mend the bonds between humans and monsters. Of course, much like we saw in the movies, they were anything but the great beings paraded about and Yuu still experiences the dreams leading to an overblot. That being said though...
For the general idea on how humans are depicted, the best way I can describe them is that the stories are a mixture of: old wives tales, Brother's Grimm Fairy Tales, and a few surviving handfuls of Disney-esk "love shall overcome hate" stories and movies--only, much more dramatic and dangerous because hey, monster abilities! 😂
Skimming over the Disney like ones, those sort of stories are of the few humans where the princesses choose to be with them and vice versa, though by comparison the humans are shown defending and protecting their monster counterparts. I gotta think on which ones would have been monster and which ones human, but for the most part I'm holding off on the RSA side of things until we find out more about that side of Twisted Wonderland and not just the little bits that are sprinkled in here and there. ^_^;
As for the "dark side" of the species though...the mythology of this AU depicts many of them being violent, vindictive, cunning, and cruel. Urban legends suggested that many of them were magicless, growing jealous and fearful of their monster neighbors. It's not hard to imagine how things turned out in a world where humans were defensive and reactive versus dealing with those monsters who wield magic and already don't look favorably upon those who don't. Needless to say...it did not turn out well.
Rumor has it that the most powerful magicians came together to banish humans from Twisted Wonderland. Others believe that the Great Seven sent them to another world. Yet many simply believe that humans just...died off. No one knew the truth, and the very few who did even remember when humans roamed the lands have only a faint memory. Malleus wasn't born yet when this happened, but Lilia does have some recollection of them much like he does when he's in history class and remembering events happening differently.
Well, now you have a better understanding on why everyone is so confused and baffled by Yuu's arrival and behavior~! 😃
Now, as for the students themselves? Well of course they respect the Great Seven, and it's considered an honor being in their respective dorms. I'll give a brief overview of points that I feel need to be pointed out.
For Heartslabyul? Granted, the Queen of Hearts being human does make it a little iffy given how strict she is, but what helped solidify her role as one of the Great Seven was the fact that she held everyone to those standards--it didn't matter if they were human or monster, she gave them the same set of expectations without question and gave both species the same opportunity to fix mistakes for breaking certain rules (such as stealing tarts, etc).
For Scarabia, the Sorcerer of the Sands was respected by the students for his intelligence and cunning, though his appearance and behavior resembling a monster species known as a gorgon helped with that. As a result, he essentially has the second easiest time getting respect from the monsters in Twisted Wonderland. The one who had the easiest time?
Why, the Fairest Queen of course. It's no argument that she was considered the most beautiful to both humans and monsters alike, her diligence and determination to pursue her goals rivaling the respect for her skills and abilities in poisons, astrology, and alchemy. It's even been something of a point that many monsters actually use as a role model to remind them of what it takes to pursue their own goals and dreams.
Anyway, that's all I could think of off the top of my head! If you guys have any other questions feel free to hit me up! I love these sort of questions, they help me build up this world more! :D

Chapter 35: Rare dragon
You took in a deep breathe as you finally wrapped your head around what you had just witnessed. You got on Zoha after saying that you were ready to go back to HQ.
You were about to leave the beach when a certain massive dragon surfaced from the water.
You turned to look at her, and lowered your head. As if to bow to her and show her that you were submissive.
" I did what you had asked, Queen of Dragons."
" I see... I thank you. As a reward, I'll send off one of the dragons with you. Think of it as... a way of thanks."
" It was my pleasure to help."
" What do you desire most, Human? Do you wish to take revenge on the one that betrayed you?"
" I-"
You were at a loss for words. Did you want to take revenge? Or would you show mercy on the one you had known to be your friend?
You bit the inside of your cheek, thinking. You... were unsure of how you saw Yami now. Nor if you wanted revenge or not.
" I... I do want revenge..."
You made up your mind. You looked at Zika and the four brothers. You feared that Yami would use the Goretrappers on the crew.
" Go back to HQ. I'll talk to her majesty."
" Are you sure?"
" I am sure. And get some of those Goretrappers out of there."
" How-"
" No time to explain. Only know that I saw her with one."
Zika nodded and gave the go for the brothers. Urogi took off, the other three following after him and Zika.
Zoha stayed perfectly still with you on him like a loyal dog. Actually, you could technically call him a dog now. He did act like one, to be honest.
" Is there anything you else you need, your majesty?"
" Allow my dragon servants to aid you in the upcoming fight."
" Fight? What fight?"
" I see I have forgotten about my ability... I can detect anything that will happen. My ability gives dragons the urge to make a distress call or even turn on the ones they follow."
You... weren't surprised at this point. This was the ancestor of all dragons after all. Why be surprised?
" I... Are you sure?"
" Positive. I don't like it when a species betrayes the other species. It is an act of greed and stupidity."
You weighed your options, thinking carefully. And dear goodness did you need a proper shower.
Bathing in the rivers in Zoha's territory really got to you. Even when Zoha licked you! He was bathing you by grooming you!
Like a cat grooming itself. You did NOT want to smell like dragon saliva anymore. And you didn't want to have greasy ass hair anymore.
" If... if you want to."
" Great. I'll let the Poison Firefrost Dragons know that they have a mission."
Wait- did the Queen of Dragons just say Poison Firefrost Dragons?! You looked at her in shock.
" You mean THE Poison Firefrost Dragons? The ones that had been seen 120 years ago?!"
" I mean... if that's what you have believed for so long, then I guess?"
You were so excited, eyes practically filled with stars like an anime character. You had always wanted to see these dragons!
The Sirensong made a low bellow, looking at the vast ocean behind her. You looked at where she looked as well, seeing small specks getting larger and more visible.
They were Poison Firefrost Dragons. An entire pack of them. Their bright wings and eyes gave it away.
You were at a loss for words once the landed. One of them was visibly larger. You saw black swirls on their feet that faded to gold.
You had a feeling that they were social dragons. Pack hunters. Just like the infamous Speedwraith.
And they were beautiful. Their bright orange wings and eyes, blue feet and bright yellow tail made them look like something out of a Holloween fantasy.
These were rare dragons many have only seen once 120 years ago. And you were the first to see them up close.
" Give them a command and they shall follow. You may keep them or release them. They are now under your control."
With that, the dragon disappeared under the water, swimming away from the beach. You patted Zoha.
" Let's go. All of us."
" Okay... will obey."
With that, Zoha took off, and the pack of dragons followed. They really didn't make any sound.
No wonder they were called the Silent Hunter. At least you had an army of very powerful and strong dragons now.
You were ready for the final battle.

TESSDE AU (+ Lucia :]) (??? part 6)
Allora: *slowly coming to herself, blinking her eyes open and wobbling in place* Oof… I really hate waking up like this…
Kaidan: *finally able to break free and rushes to her, picking her up and hugging her tightly* Gods, woman, stop scaring the shit out of me!
Allora: *blinks, still processing things and chuckles* Hi to you too, honey. Sorry.
Lucien + Inigo: *rushing over, confused, concerned, and awed by her new form*
Taliesin + Lucia: *immediately behind, joining in on the hug, Taliesin denying any tears trickling down his face while Lucia blubbers and clings to Allora*
Lyra: *still processing everything she just witnessed*
Davidicus: *feverishly writing everything down, gobsmacked*
Athrodite: *standing from her kneeling position, breathing out a sigh* We were right. You really are the Great One. The Dragonborns before you have blessed you, as has Akatosh. This is a momentous day!
Hilio + Elona: *standing bowing reverently again* Blessings upon you, Great One!
Allora: *lets out a whiney sigh* I just wanna go home… Ah! Ow! Inigo-
Inigo: *accidentally brushed against her wings* Oops! Sorry.
Lucien: Are you all right? That was terrifying to watch.
Allora: *pulls free of the hugs, looking herself over with wide eyes* What happened??
Taliesin: Oh nothing, just that the statue came alive and bit you!
Kaidan: You were glowin’ a whole lot again, and somethin’ came from the sky and blasted you with magical energy.
Inigo: You smell more like a dragon now than ever, as well. Smelly- but still you. How do you feel?
Allora: *flexes her claws, turning to look behind her, seeing her tail having much denser scales than before, reaching up and feeling the horns on her head, looking rather awed and grinning wide* All right. That's pretty awesome.
Inigo: Hehehe. I take it you like it then?
Allora: *carefully stretching her wings, blinking as they just move as easily as wanting to move an arm* Absolutely. This is so cool! I feel… really good! Like… *blinks, touching her sternum where she was bit* …
Lucia: Mama?
Allora: *huffs, rubbing her thumb against her chest* …I know what they did now. They couldn't join me to fix my soul, so they gave me a blessing- a power?- to fortify me. Make me stronger.
Kaidan: Join you?? As if ya don't all ready have dragons inside you!
Lucien: No, that… actually makes a lot of sense. I see now… *places a hand to his chin as he peers at the statue* It's not just Martin Septim inside that statue, but every Dragonborn that had been inside the amulet previous. Their want to join you stems from the amulet- but with it being destroyed, they can no longer do that. How fascinating.
Taliesin: All of that aside, you're sure you're all right? Not overly stressed, no threats of combustion?
Allora: …No. I think… I think whatever was done to me is affecting the others as well. Nahagliiv… he doesn't feel like he'll explode anymore. Everyone feels… really calm.
Taliesin: Well! That's rather fortuitous. I suppose we can sell off all the excess salves we have now.
Allora: I'd rather donate them to the temple back home. *looks up at the statue, smiling* …They were nice. They were proud of me. Nosy, very talkative. But nice.
Kaidan: Glad t'hear it. Now, let's get outta here.
Athrodite: If I may ask one last thing of you, Great One?
Allora: *shrugs* Sure.
Athrodite: May we receive a blessing from you?
Allora: *freezes* Uh… I don't… really know how to give one…?
Hilio: Whatever you wish for us to have, you need only focus on your power and bless it unto us!
Elona: For you, it could be as simple as a thought or chant!
Allora: Um… *thinks really hard for a minute, blinking* Oh. I think I have one from when I was younger… *clears her throat, trying to focus on their souls in tandem and remember the words* Uh… “Circle of stars, shining bright… grant my wish on this night. Shine down upon those I love- protection magic, sent from above. Keep them safe and well and warm, free from danger, fear, and harm. For the good of all, blessed be.”
The three are awash in gold light for a brief moment, and they're left beaming.
Athrodite: Thank you! Thank you, Great One!
Hilio: We're so grateful!
Elona: We will follow in your ways and honour you here amongst Akatosh and Arkay! Thank you!
Allora: *strained, folding her wings to her back and tiredly nods* Right. No problem. Are we free to go then?
Athrodite: Yes- absolutely, please, let us not keep you a moment longer. Safe journeys!
Hilio + Elona: Safe journeys! Blessings upon you!

OK. SO parfait hannah.
Y’know how changelings are fae babies switched at birth with human ones? They’re supposed to die instantly to make parents grieve but Hannah is a changeling that was saved by modern medicine. And raised looking COMPLETELY human. She was unaware that she was a fairy still wearing the skin of a dead girl. Even if she did have weird nature connections. Wild animals are super frightened of her and plants grow multiple times faster when she’s around them. And the older she grew the less human she looked. Her teeth started sharpening, her tailbone was growing more SEGMENTS and her toes grew longer. Y’know little things that would be completely unnoticeable to everyone except her. It made her feel very alien and strange. Anyway after the egg takes hold of her it basically breaks through the spell keeping her looking like a human. Being changed as a newborn she will never ever be able to regain her fairy form but now she’s very noticeably inhuman. With a tail and root like veins so prominent on her legs and back. She had wings for a while too but we know how that goes….. she also gains a new digit on each appendage. Leaving her with 12 fingers and it’s extremely hard for her to adjust to them!! For a while she has a hard time picking up a spoon let alone a sword…. :( she has not told her parents of this either. (I’m also debating whether or not the baby she replaced should still be alive, Hannah is just a doppelgänger and this human girl that looks exactly like her is living in the woods raised by Fae. The life hannah was SUPPOSED to have.)
OH MY GOOODDD
I read this last night but was too tired to respond. This is so cool!! It fits in really well with her canon feelings of guilt and not belonging, while also incorporating her fairy lore in a really cool way! I don't know if I even have anything to add this is just such a neat backstory. I always wondered why you drew her with those vine things on her back. This is great!
