yourusername welcome back to my postgame penalty box update show: THE COMEBACK QUACKS STRIKE AGAIN edition!
my duckies gave the golden whores their first regulation loss of the season!!! THAT'S MY BOYS!! LEAVE THEM IN RUINS! the first two periods were agonizing, but the boys came through in the third, as they do! WE HAVE WON SIX GAMES IN A ROW! WE MAY NEVER LOSE AGAIN!
you know what else made a comeback? trevor's streak since his last penalty! he was the default criminal again for the too many men penalty, but legally my baby daddy is at one whole game since his last penalty! good job, sweet boy!
i’d like to make a special shoutout to minty! he got his first ever nhl penalty tonight for hooking! we were all confused though because... it did not look like a hook... minty's confusion was captured in the ninth pic! whatever the case, congratulations! so proud! i hope you loved your trophy!
trevor, you look cute as fuck in the second picture. i’m literally so in love with you and obsessed with you and i can't wait to cling on to you tonight because good GOD i love to see you in those purple jerseys! i love you, always, sweet boy💜

Quick announcement (before the diarrhea of information):
I'm gonna go on a semi-hiatus for a week or so. I'll still be around, just not posting any drawings. Need to replenish my energy and drawing reserves cause I'm dead >_<
Sleep behind scenes!
So... Ginkgo why the hell did this take you so long? Sorry, sorry 😅 Here's what happened. I got burned out after like 10 pages (specifically the manor backgrounds killed me, plus having the full gang in the story) and then got sick and was not feeling all that great. Working through the burn out, sick, AND college work on top was quite hard not gonna lie though, but I wanted to finish it ^^
Alright, now as for little unnecessary Easter eggs, I added as nods to the show and my other interests. ^_^
1. Undertale save point. Undertale had me sucked in for a good long while, and for some odd reason decided to re-emerge in a form of the star save. Made it purple for Uzi's effect over N. She made him more rebellious, so he started to question why is it his memories and dreams are strange/corrupted/missing instead of just going with the flow.
2. Ep3 nod. V and N have history, history that I wish we get to see. V was nicer, kinder, in my opinion, prior to the absolute solver going rampage. So it makes sense for them to have some sort of friendship at the VERY least. So I decides to give it a small spin to it too. A direct quote from ep3 ^_^
3. Ep 2 + 5 nod. I kinda pulled the moment when James dismissed N from ep2 together with events that follow after N leaves library in ep5. Chronologically, these events don't fit together, seeing as ep2 is when N first meets Cyn and ep5 is when she's already set up the massacre. But this is exactly what I was going for. N's memories are jumbled at best, so I took liberty in mixing, matching, and editing his memories just as the admin program would probably.
4. Absolute Solver symbols nod. My chats with @absolute-solver (sorry for annoying you with tag 😅) made me realize that the absolute solver ought to have more presence now. It's activated and running systems in the background for Uzi. Whiiiiich means that drawing absolute solver should start now. BUT, it's rudimentary at best. Symbols don't really make sense and are not completed for most of the time. Not until Uzi at least sees the error message in ep2, when she truly starts questioning what that weird symbol on her visor is. I headcanon that N does know or at least feel that the absolute solver symbol is familiar, hence the little comment.
5. Absolute Solver Nori. Why is there so many absolute solver Nori around? I'm certain she went back to normal, just like in pictures Khan showed us in ep4 post core collapse. But I connected the solvers together here. Uzi's absolute solver string is up and running, and because the solver is a hivemind, it'd connect the memories and warp them a little. So that's why Uzi's doodle of her and Nori at the end (and during memory recall) was so full of absolute solver. It's slowly taking root, whether she wants it to or not.
Personal touches/added/cut ideas:
N's tail wrapping around Uzi like a hug. Originally, Uzi was supposed to look more nervous, but not for the reasons you might think. I cut the nervous look to a more upset look so it wouldn't be confused for fear. Uzi's never scared of N (yes, I don't count ep2 either, that was a lot of events at once and very little time to process them). The nervous look was more of a "Why are you butting in?" type, you know? Being a loner makes you cautious, so when N prods at feelings, I figured Uzi would be a bit defensive.
Cyn is fully rendered and yet I glitched her so much I felt bad. So here's full absolute solver Cyn eldrich monster thingy. ^_^
I pulled a Hazbin hotel moment. Did you see it? Abracadabra GONE! All the scraps from first couple pages with NUzi chatting POOFED out of the existence. Did I get lazy and tired? Yes, that was the tell tale sign of burn out, when I stopped keeping track of background details and just kept the pod.
These progress shots show pretty well how the story boarding goes and how I change my mind too easily. 😅 storyboard is still as much of a mess as ever, sketch shows you I was gonna keep Uzi's hat, but decided against it in final product. I figured this. Nori gave Uzi the jacket whenever Uzi got a bigger body + hair. These are the same jacket and hair Uzi has in canon. Uzi's body is just upgraded again and her hair gets shorter in that regard. The jacket would be big on her, and cover her hands, but what's up with the fluff if I draw canon jacket more spiky? And where's the death battery drawing? I headcanon Uzi drew those on once she got into the angsty teenager stage. The jacket is more spiky from wear and tear.
Fun fact! You can sorta tell who's gonna show up in the comic by what memes I post prior. Here's some examples ^_^ Cyn showed up, and that was first practice with maid outfits and Cyn's eldrich form. Closely followed by manor gang, the second/final form of maid and butler outfits and prime practice for those scenes. This example is a bit spoiler for a meme I'm working on right now! I've never drawn Nori before, so I quickly sketched out the idea and continued on with the comic (otherwise, I'd lose my steam and procrastinate on it again). Memes are filler for you guys while I work on the actual projects (comics), and along the way, they give me practice and change in drawing style ^_^
Is it a coincidence that this comic is called Sleep with the release of a certain horror game? Actually, yeah pure coincidence 😅 I had this drafted allll the way back in November, and didn't take particular interest in poppy playtime until I saw lanky boi, which was actually during a stream I watched on release day of the chapter.
(I didn't know tumblr, or at least the phone app, had a tag limit of 30, BOY was I surprised @brookiedaaroacecookie that must have been THE tag city, sorry 😅)
Next comic is Loneliness 1 and 2
This one is split into 2 POVs from both Uzi and N side, thus its 2 separate comics. That one will be more NUzi centered, too, a slight angst and comfort spin to it. That will come... sometime. I have a few more projects I wanna finish up with prior to starting on these guys ^_^
Why are you still reading this? Omg, have a cookie 🍪 you made it. Have a nice day now ^_^

2023 writing gif-making round up
Rules (adapted for fic, gifs, art, etc.): Share what you made this year! It can be works you posted to Ao3, Wattpad, Tumblr, or anywhere else! You can share everything you made or just the projects you're most excited about.
tagged by @victoriaspriing thank you!!!
2024 is just around the corner, so unbelievable to me. it feels like no time has passed since the beginning of 2023. i was thinking, hm it doesn’t feel like i’ve made many gifs this year, but then i went looking back at all my favorite gifsets i made and i was pleasantly surprised to see quite a significant amount. my goal for 2024 is to create more gifsets, to share with the fandom and most importantly to let the creativity flow. okay, but i’m here to reflect on my gifsets from this year, so let’s get into that shall we? i’ll share some fun statistics and then my top 5 gifsets from this year, and totally copying joana here but i’ll also give a shoutout to my favorite creators who not only inspire me but make this fandom wonderful with their creations <3
fun statistics
in total i made 188 gifsets in 2023
99 are about louis (*pretends to be shocked*)
50 are about harry
10 are larry
4 are ot5
1 about samia
1 about soyoon
the rest are 911 lone star, stranger things, only friends and first kill
28 (!!!) are elaborate gifsets
44 are or include purple
4 are about faith in the future
top 5 gifsets (in no particular order)
louis birthday gifset this has to be my favorite gifset i’ve made this year. i had so much fun making it, from trying a different color i’m not used to, to using new effects i hadn’t had the chance to try. everything came out as i had envisioned and it makes me so happy. i gotta say by the end of it i was tired. i think i spent a total of 10 hours on it, but it was so worth it
faith in the future anniversary gifset okay so this one was originally going to be blue and yellow, but the first gif (the one with the tv) wasn’t looking good, so i just did what i do best, make it purple and yellow. i’m glad i did, because not only do i love that combo, but i think it looks great. i had this vague concept of what i wanted to do. i knew i definitely wanted to include the spotify template. from there i just did what i felt in the moment. the edit with the tracklist was originally going to be in the form of a google search, but it looked so bad, so i just went for something more simple, which ended up looking so much better. the last edit was the second to last one. i was thinking, how can i include fitfwt into it? that’s when i realized i had a combination of one gifset, one edit, one gifset and one gifset, so i added one edit in the middle of the last two gifsets to create that pattern. i took my favorite louis picture from tour and just did a quick edit. with this one, less was better, and i’m very proud of how it came out
hlholidayexchange gifset i absolutely adore this one. the prompt was anything with 2014 larry. i had a very clear concept for this one. polaroids showing them together. while looking for videos i just gravitated towards their night changes performance, especially the prince and little one with the cheekbones, so that’s what i did. i was apprehensive about the blending, as it’s something i struggle with, but personally i think i did good. there’s always room for improvement, but i’m satisfied with it. the colors came to me right at the end, a combination of some of my favorite colors that are close together in the color wheel, so they look good together. it’s simple, but effective :)
louis tomlinson tinder this one was so fun to make. i especially loved coming up with hobbies and activities that describe louis. i knew i wanted to include numerology because this boy is obsessed with numbers and you can’t tell me he isn’t into numerology. as for the matches, i included his husband people who he’s potentially had a crush on based on interactions and interviews. i also love how the colors came out, i think it looks very pretty
harry’s house anniversary i love this one so much. i had a very clear concept of what i wanted to do. the cutout of the pictures plus the lyrics looked so much fun and i had a great time putting it together, and i just love the spotify template. i think everything about it is very pretty. the colors, the scenes, all of it. the only thing that makes me sad is how the video for daylight came out way later so i couldn’t include it, but other than that i love it so so much
bonus!!! this is louis tomlinson a very fun, very pleasant edit. i remember just wanting to do a gifset highlighting some aspects of louis and his career. i wanted something semi simple and visually appealing, so i did the google search overlay and from there just basic layouts. i had a lot of fun making it
shoutout to my faves!!!
@delicatepointofview @heroeddiemunson @wylanvannecks @505louis @anxiouspunk @ricky-olson @vinmauro @raypakorn @victoriaspriing @birthdaysentiment @robin-buckleys @perrieedwards @margarethcarter @neil-patrick @bobbiedebruyn @braverytattoos @justthinkingaboutlouis @loustyles @kiwikiwiandkiwi @finexbright @zourried @seatawinans @mcbride @jdeanmorgan @morgana-pendragon @niccolofares @sci-fi @benoitblanc @saw-x @binariesuns @oliviairodrigo @annacoleman @aliecenthightower @nelsonnicholas @curlyhairedprince @padme-amidala

Holiday Pictures 2023! (part 1)
Happy Holidays, everyone! This year I decided to put together some pictures of various folks. They’re all in a style that makes them seem shorter than usual. I did my best to get them looking good, so apologies if there’s any errors. Admittedly I had only planned to make eight of these, but I had experienced a drive to keep making more – a phenomenon that’s been incredibly rare for me these days – so that number expanded to 16. They’re mostly featuring folks on Twitter that I know, like, and/or admire in some meaningful capacity, so I hope they all like what I’ve put together!
For NS-Games, it’s the “Fix-It Cat” Collin LiBee. A very good friend who’s good with computer problems, and has been making some nice art to boot! He’s wearing his purple shirt today, and showing off a laptop with a familiar wallpaper design.
For PetrarchEleven, it’s his protogen character Ramune! He seems to be having a good time, dancing and waving those glowing batons all around. He just needs to be careful! If he doesn’t watch where he goes he could accidentally fall to pieces!
For Saturn’s Rings and Colonel Sandwich, it’s their respective characters Saturn and Terry, posing together for this one. Early on this year Saturn had asked for a picture of the two together, and this was the opportunity to do it. They are indeed a cute pair!
For Treevis, it’s his character Lytzyv, dashing and looking cool. I think this is the fourth iteration of him that I had made, with little tweaks in design each time. I don’t see too many images of him these days, so hopefully I got all the details down.
For VAdaPEGA, it’s Pantufa the Cat, as he appears in the “Extended Edition” of his game. I always thought he looked good in that attire. But with how small he is, I didn’t think it was enough, so Honker is here as well! It’s a two-fer! (Or maybe a “Toof-er”?)
For Cooper the Husky, we have…Cooper the Husky! He’s got a cute art style and characters to match, so I tried to keep with some of the aesthetic. I particularly liked his “modern outfit,” so that’s what he’s wearing here.
For Miles Fox, it's Charlotte, the main character of his work-in-progress, “SLAY-BELLS!” She seemed like an appropriate character to draw this time of year. I somehow ended up making her look like something from a Rankin-Bass special…which I guess is also appropriate.
For HunterBahamut, this is Hunter. I had drawn Bahamut a few times before, but this is the first time I made this one – I opted for his black-and-white iteration.. I’m not sure if he’s running away from or towards danger, but he sure looks like he’s ready to confront it either way.
Quite a few so far! And we're only halfway through!

saw the "holy shit two cakes" post now im posting these :>
anyway I am a huge fan of the anime franchise precure and hermitcraft, and there's a popular precure dress up game, and I figured why not and started making all the hermits as magical girls (mostly based on their skins because I don't watch everyone) and gave them all cure names :>
So here's Gem! (I did her season 9 skin first because I started making these back when I first got into Gem's videos and didn't realize she had a different skin whoops)
details under cut :D
to start! Gem's cure names are Cure Slay and Cure Fawn!
The game is obviously pretty limited with what you can do, however the final screen lets you customize so much, so she has a custom back bow! On her mc skin, her shoes have the bi flag, but obviously I couldn't put the flag on her shoes so the bow gets it instead! the purple got kinda lost, but I promise you it's there. She also has the sunflower choker because she has a sunflower in her hair and I thought it would be fun. Other than that, everything's pretty true to her skin
For Cure Fawn, I'm gonna be honest she was the first one I made way back in September, so I don't fully remember my thoughts on her. I really like how she turned out, though! Also, side note, the picture above is actually a slightly edited version of the original (which I've posted below) because I didn't like the way the pointed ears ended up looking. I also got rid of the little pompoms on the shoes (they're Cure Whip's boots)
as you can see there's a line between where the character model's ears stop and the bows I used to make the pointed bit starts and that bothered me, so I just made the minor edit. (and of course the pompoms, I probably would've kept them if I could've made them white, but the game didn't allow for that)
I've done more than just Gem, of course but I'll give them their own posts. I'll probably end up scheduling them and posting 1 a day til I catch up to who I've made so far. (I'm just doing a wheel spinner to pick who to do next lol)
#hermit cures#geminitay#hermitcraft#genuinely so nervous about this but i know a lot of my friends like these and some of them (i am looking at rentheking specifically)#got incredibly detailed#geminitay fanart

Kun3h0 Custom Doll Repaint
So, here's what I've been working on for the past month or so. I've wanted to do a custom doll project for a long time now, and I finally got the opportunity to actually do it. I don't think she's bad for a first doll, but there's a lot I feel I could do better and differently.
Once again, my pictures hardly do her any justice... mostly due to color balancing.
I tried to edit these pics to make them a little more accurate, but it also yellowed out everything else, so... yeah. A photographer/image editor I am not.
That said, aside from the poor quality of the images, I'd say that the pics capture both her good points and her jank.
(More about the process and other thoughts under the cut.)
So, she started with a Cave Club doll as the base (I believe her name was Fernessa).
I unfortunately didn't take any pics of this doll with her clothes on, but I'm sure you can search pics of the original base doll yourself.
Besides being very cheap, I really liked the proportions on this doll for Kun3h0. I like the short torso with the long legs and the huge feet. Even the face is kinda Kun3h0-esque (though, a little more on that later).
I've had the idea to customize a Kun3h0 doll for a while, and I always thought the best base would have been an LOL OMG doll since they also have the big head, small torso, and long legs. But, I was always on the fence about them because their hips are a lot wider than Kun3h0's, and I felt like that would always bother me. But once I found out about Cave Club and also found out they're bascially cheap as dirt for the amount of articulation you get, I knew that this was the best match for Kun3h0.
Sadly, the hands aren't as big, and I did consider resculpting them to be more accurate to Kun3h0, but I lack the materials to make that look good enough to be worth doing, so in the end I just repainted the original hands. So I guess this doll is gonna have the non-standard 5-fingers XP. (I forgot to take pics, but the back of the hands do have the heart detail on them. )
Because I have to tie this back to NSR somehow, I think this doll would be a great base for some NSR characters, or really any other stylized character like this. I could def see a cute Mayday coming out of one of these (but not from me~ If I made a Mayday, then I'd want to make a Zuke to go with her, and I just cannot imagine how to make a Zuke doll without him becoming way too top-heavy).
However, I did resculpt the legs to become her boots, so she stands a little taller than the base Cave Club. While I think doing this works for Kun3h0 since she's a robot, if I want to make some alternate outfits for her, they're gonna have to include these boots, or I'm gonna have to get another doll to make some alternate legs.
Unfortunately, my only material I have for body mods is air-dry paper clay, and it doesn't transition as well into the plastic the same way something like apoxie sculpt probably would have. It's not super noticeable at a distance when they're painted, but under scrutiny, you can see a clear transition. I also forgot to detail her heel, so the shoes are flat even though they shouldn't be~ They do help her to stand on her own though, so I guess it's not the worst thing in the world~
While I was doing the sculpting, I also made the wig.
Finding a yarn that would properly convey Kun3h0's hair color is nigh impossible, given the cartoony shading of them, so I settled for a median between the dark rasperry and hot pink and got this regular raspberry yarn. The unaltered pics make it look a little more purple than it actually is. It really is a warm raspberry color.
(I'd say that this is closer to the actual color, maybe a tad darker.)
Let me tell y'all, brushing out yarn wefts is not fun. I also felt like I wasn't doing it right since I lost a lot of material brushing it out. From the little research I did, this seems to be a common problem, but it doesn't sit right with me for so much of it to get wasted like that~
Another challenge I had is that there (of course) aren't very many resources for getting yarn wefts curly or how to make curly hairstyles using yarn wefts. I know that this is relatively easy to achieve with actual doll hair through boil washing, but that wasn't really a viable option for a yarn wig like this. Since I really wanted the hair to look naturally curly as opposed to looking like it was curled after the fact, I curled the hair before gluing it onto the wig cap, which was a mini-nightmare. I followed a video tutorial about how to make a pigtails wig, I just applied the methods to the curly hair.
youtube
I don't know if I just didn't make enough wefts to make the tails poofy enough, or if this method just wasn't suited for curly hair, but I just didn't get the volume I was looking for.
To achieve the fuller look that Kun3h0's puffs have, I glued some scrap yarn fluff in the center of the original puffs and just tried to manage the shape from there. It's not perfect, but I think I've more or less brought her original hair to life. It's hard to see since they get lost in the mess of hair, but I was even able to get those stray curls that she has to look nice~
However, for some reason, the wig really doesn't like to stay on. I dunno if it's the ears pushing it off, or if something else makes it loose, but it really doesn't like to stay on her head. I might try applying heat to the cap to see if I can get it to reshape around her head properly, but I don't have high hopes for that.
Overall, having made the wig and seen it in real life, I've confirmed something that I've kinda felt for a while: Kun3h0 really needs something on her head between her antenna. I feel like her antenna and the top of her head create a sort of "empty box" that is just asking to be filled with something. I recently did a drawing of Kun3h0 where I have her an ahoge, and I think it helps a lot.
It's a little too late to add this to the doll (and I don't even know how I'd go about it), but I think from now on, she's gonna have a curl that sticks up on the top of her head.
Moving on: the face.
I really wish I could get some clearer pictures here, because the eyes really aren't as bad as the pics make them look.
While I am trying to keep her right covered as much as possible, I did still paint both of them with acrylics. I don't have MSC or watercolor pencils like most of the pros do, so I made use of what I had. I'm certainly not getting that "crisp lineart" look that Kun3h0 is basically built on, but I don't think the results are horrible. They're sealed with a gloss varnish, so they don't photograph well, but I do like how the texture is very different from the skin, it almost sells that they're made of glass.
As for the other details, I did do the lining in dark purple, like I usually do for her lineart. I'm on the fence on if this works IRL or not. On the one hand, I feel like the purple lineart is a part of the character design, it helps balance out all the pinks, but when I only use the purple on the doll for the face (and her stomach paneling), I do wonder if it looks strange, and if I would have been better off lining her with dark brown instead.
In fact, I did the original sketch with brown for the paneling.
(Right eye not canon.)
But when I made the actual doll, I wound up doing purple anyway to match the eyelashes, so they wouldn't look as out of place.
Other details I wanted to mention are that the upper eyelashes/eyelid is actually a piece of painted foam that I glued on. I really wanted to achieve that cartoony look of how I usually draw the lashes over her hair, even if it doesn't make logical sense.
I wasn't able to do the same thing for the brows, but I still did something a little "special" with them.
Instead of making myself cry trying to get an accurate color-match with paint, her eyebrows are actually flocked using some of the leftover yarn. I've hardly seen anyone do this for a doll repaint, but I don't think this look would suit most brows anyway~
Overall, I'm only a *little* unsatisfied by the face-up, but my disappointment is mostly in the eye-shape. I didn't want to go against the face mold too much, but that meant that I couldn't really make the eye taller like Kun3h0's actually are. If the eye was any taller, the brows would have been right against the hairline, and that wouldn't be a great look IMO. I feel like 80% of Kun3h0's identity is in her face, so having it be even a little inaccurate does bring her down a little.
Lastly, I think all that's left to talk about is clothes and accessories.
I am personally really in love with the shorts and it's why I chose them to be the preview for this project. I added the beltloops after I took that pic, and I think they turned out so cute, even if you can see the stitching of the belt to the shorts.
I went through quite a few patterns trying to get them right. The Cave Club dolls don't seem to be super popular in customizer circles, so there aren't many if any patterns out there for them. At first I was just eyeballing a shorts pattern from this video and going through some trial and error trying to adapt them to the doll's body.
youtube
I made 3 or 4 pairs of shorts this way, but they all ended up too tight. In the end, I wound up using the "wrap-and-tape" method of pattern making, and made the shorts from there. I honestly wasn't too confident in the results, so I very haphazardly made the trial pair with this new pattern, but they fit so great that I wound up using the test shorts for the final product.
The top was not as successful. Unlike the shorts, I didn't start making test tops until I'd already done the wrap and tape. So the pattern making wasn't actually the hardest part: it was putting it together that was a nightmare.
While I was making the top, I would of course have Kun3h0 put it on to test the fit, which stretched out the fabric to a noticeable degree. This was one of the last things I worked on, so I was getting really fed up with working on this for so long, so I told myself that I would probably just hide it with paint later.
That was mistake number 1.
As I should have learned from painting Green's face, the paint hardened the fabric tremendously, giving it almost no stretch. Originally the plan was to use velcro to close the top in the back, but the pattern didn't account for the lack of stretch, so it's actually too small to close edge to edge. So, I had to cut velcro to extend beyond the actual clothes to close it up. So basically, there's a gaping hole in the back of her outfit and is the main reason why I refuse to post back pictures of this doll.
For the time being, I do consider this top to be a "prototype" and I'll probably remake it in the future with some improvements. But, painting the fabric after stitching it together is not the only mistake I made.
Since this top is a prototype, there's a lot of other things that I did in a bad order: I really should have done the hemming and put on the accents before putting the pieces together, but since I wasn't sure if the pattern would fit first, and thought I would have the energy to make a second better top, I didn't bother with it. This included the cuffs of the sleeve.
That was mistake number 2.
The way I made the sleeves is that the arms are really just a large trapazoid with the shoulder shape at the top. The idea was that I would just sew the large side to a piece of shorter elastic band which would serve as the cuffs. I figured this would cause the sleeve to look "ballooned" at the end. And it kinda worked. You can kinda see how it turned out on her right sleeve in the first picture, but actually sewing it together was kinda terrible because the only way I could think of to do this was to sew the cuff and sleeve separately first, then sew them together, and that just seems ass-backwards to me, but I couldn't think of any other way to do it, and it came out with the cuff being mostly obscured anyway. I tried a different method on the left sleeve, so the cuff is more visible, but the sleeve shape is worse.
So if/when I remake this top, I'm still gonna do this in my ass-backwards way, I've just got to figure out how to keep the sleeve from eating the cuff.
Otherwise, I think the top would actually be pretty cute. I was really getting tired of working on it at the end, so a lot of the details are actually hot-glued on instead of being sewn. The faux-zipper pull is a *little* large, but it's something I had that I thought would work, and I actually really like the oversized look. It works for the proportions of the doll and helps bring in the heart motif that's getting a little lost in the sloppiness of my painting~
The last thing I think worth talking about is the mini GAB.
I thought I'd taken a pic of it by itself, but I guess not. Anyway, the only thing I wanted to say about it is that there's a little "clip" on the back made from wire that allows it to hook onto Kun3h0's belt and be held in her hand. I dunno, I just really like the little accessories, and that little feature amuses me~
But that's it for now. I am actually working on two other accessories for her:
The doll came with a pet dinosuar that I'm currently turning into her GAB.
It's just about the right size to be in scale with Kun3h0, and the hair is basically already the same as GAB's. I've already modified the base with clay and cut off the bits I don't need. It's mostly a matter of sanding and painting right now. I have no idea how or if I'm going to get the collar onto it without it looking bad, but I'll give it a try. If all else fails, I'll just make a tiny bow-tie like GAB!classic~
I don't have a pic of this one, but the doll also came with some sort of flower pot thing that I'm turning into her drill using a metal piping tip for the drill head~ I'll post about them in an "accessories DLC" when they're both finished.
But wait... if you've made it this far, and you saw my preview post, then you might notice that there's one accessory missing.
Well, this mask doesn't actually fit Kun3h0...
But it does fit someone else.

New York VII
-
“Anthony,” Harry waved him over. “Can you do the iconic Madison Square Garden picture for me?”
“Of course, H!” Anthony grabbed his camera, “It is my job to take your picture,” he joked.
Tonight was Harry’s seventh show at The Garden and he had yet to his iconic pose inside the arena.
He had just gotten to the stage for sound check but the live audio engineers were having technical difficulties making Harry wait to do it.
Y/n was a little behind Harry since she and Glenne were talking and catching up while their husbands chatted it up and headed to the stage.
Y/n and Glenne made their way to the stage and joined their husbands, the three of them watching as Anthony shot Harry do the iconic pose.
“Was waiting to see when you would do your pose,” Jeff chuckled watching as Harry lifted his arms from his side and tilted his head up looking at the big screen.
Y/n watched and admired her husband as he got his photo taken. His muscle prominent when his arms were raised.
Harry was a fit man, always has been. Yet he has made significant gains in the last year with his muscle gain and you could tell. Everything was more prominent.
Anthony snapped over a dozen photos, “You want to see these?”
Harry turned around and nodded, “Sure.”
Y/n peeled her eyes away before he would notice and looked at the photos Anthony had taken of Harry.
All the pictures looked the same but with some editing from Anthony, it would make the picture look way better than the original.
“Thanks, man. These look amazing,” Harry spoke to Anthony giving him a bro hug.
“We’re going to go back to the dressing room before I have to start getting ready for the show.”
Anthony, Jeff, and Glenne all nodded and said their goodbyes.
Harry wrapped his arm around Y/n’s shoulders and couldn’t walk the two of them out of there quicker.
As they walked the halls getting back to his dressing room, Y/n was confused why he was in such a rush.
“What’s the rush for, H?” Y/n turned her head to look at him but he was too busy leading the way for the both of them.
He quickly opened his dressing room door and pushed Y/n inside, locking the door behind him.
He was quick to pin her up against the wall.
“I saw you staring at me when I was getting my picture taken. Couldn’t help myself having m’beautiful wife staring at me.”
That’s when Y/n realized Harry had a bulge in the crotch of his shorts.
“Really couldn’t keep it in your pants any longer?” She teased him, snaking her arms around his neck and playing with his unruly curls.
Harry was quick to hike her thighs around his waist using the wall to keep her up, “Every time I look at you it gets me going.”
His mouth roamed her neck leaving a trail of wet kisses behind, nipping at the delicate skin.
“So fucking hot,” he mumbled, his lips moving down to her exposed collar bone leaving behind harsh red marks that would soon turn purple.
Y/n’s hands were still twirling his hair between her fingers and her head was thrown back in pleasure.
“Harry,” she moaned. The knot in her stomach started to grow and between her legs was soaked.
He was quick to move them to the couch, taking off their clothes and chucking them to the floor making sure he put a condom on to be on the safe side.
His hips straddled hers as he leaned over her biting and sucking her nipple as his fingers pinched and rolled the other one making her moan with pleasure.
“You’re such a needy slut,” he mumbled, moving his lips down her stomach and then to her thighs leaving his sloppy kisses.
With his head between her thighs leaving harsh bites to her inner thighs, he teased her by swiping his tongue across her wet folds.
“So wet f’me,” he uttered. His fingers swiped along her folds gathering her juices.
Y/n watched with lustful eyes as he licked his fingers clean of her juices, “So delicious.”
Her back arched aching for his touch, “Harry, please. I need you in me,” she stuttered. The sensation and need becoming too much for her.
His fingers pinched her inner thighs which were bruising by the minute from Harry’s teeth, “M’needy slut.”
“Need daddy t’help get you off?” He left a harsh slap to her ass cheek, “Y’such a needy slut, your panties were soaked before I even started on ya’.”
The harsh degrading always turned each other on, their sex life was definitely something they shared and loved.
“Daddy, please,” she begged. Her pussy aching, needing to be relieved.
Without warning, Harry plunged deep into her. Her back arched and her toes curled, low moans coming from her soft, plump lips.
Harry’s hips thrust into hers and rocked back and forth as he plunged in and out of her. The only sounds coming from them were moans of pleasure and their heavy breaths.
As Y/n got close to coming off, “The only pussy made f’me.” His thrust becoming sloppier, “This is f’me only, right bunny?”
Her head back letting out a low moan she nodded, “Only for you, daddy.”
She needed a little push to get off her high so Harry took his thumb and rubbed it in a circular motion on her clit.
“C’mon darling, you’re almost there,” Harry muttered. He was right there but he would never get off first, making sure he took care of his girl first.
Y/n came off from her high and Harry followed shortly after. He always made sure to clean her up afterward since she was always in a fuzzy state of mind.
“Let’s get cleaned up and have some cuddles.” He would always take care of his girl no matter what.

For the boys finding they belonged to y/n before mutation: If you're sick and need something to do, then re-write it if it will help you pass the time. But if not then you can edit the old one, whatever you want to do
A/N, not important: Hope this was better :). Any criticism is welcome, constructive or not. This is supposed to be a gender neutral reader, so if I screwed up somewhere, please tell me.
-Ollie
Tw: mentions of the turtles being pets, emotions, idk what else
Words: 642
Summary: The ROTTMNT turtles find out they once belonged to you. But this time it's happy :)
All:
Completely flabbergasted.
Not expecting this at all.
Confused.
But not upset.
They belonged to you?
Their pseudo older sibling/parental figure?
Well butter my biscuits, ain't that a surprise.
Act about the same they did when Draxum told them their human DNA came from Lou Jitsu.
They like you, you like them, and now they have an even closer bond with you :)
Mikey:
He really liked you, and he knew how sad you were when your turtles were stolen because you confided in him about it.
Knowing he was one of those turtles made him feel better, because that means you never really lost them.
He was right here with you the whole time.
Thinks it's great and now has even more of a reason to drag you into the family.
If you still have pet turtles, he likes to come over and help out caring for them.
He already did, but now even more.
They could've been his siblings after all!
Is the one to spill the beans to you, he can't keep such an exciting secret to himself.
Likes to ask you questions about how he and his brothers were when they were still turtles, is over the moon if you have pictures of them.
Donnie:
Despite the initial panic and unease he feels, Donnie’s mostly chill about it.
He knew he came from somewhere before all this, but he just wasn’t expecting to know he was stolen from you.
Is completely in awe.
You're technically a parental aged adult to him, or at least 5 years older, and you already compliment his work and seemed interested in it.
And now it's confirmed your a parental figure of some sort?
Donnie is not leaving you alone, you're his new source of praise. (Please give him praise, he's doing such a good job. He didn't even blow up that bridge he stubbed his toe on.)
Feels slightly guilty since you did technically lose your pet when he got mutated.
Builds you a robotic turtle to make up for it.
You can put it in your current turtle/fish tank as it works as a water filter and as a temperature moderator.
Plus it's purple.
Who doesn't like a purple turtle?
Raph:
Is admittedly a bit disappointed he wasn’t some cool wild turtle before, but he gets over it quickly.
But hey, he came from you. That's still cool!
Gets closer to you, likes hanging out around you even more.
He already sees you as an older sibling, but now you're seen even more as family in his eyes.
Brings presents for you turtles if you have them.
That could've been him! And he likes present! So your turtles need presents.
Likes to look at any pictures or videos you have of him or his brothers as turtles.
They're like baby photos, he was so tiny.
Leo:
Thinks it's so funny.
You had him when he was still a turtle! And you know him now as a mutant! How is that not hilarious.
Teases you for not being able to have kept them.
If one of your turtles wanders off - "Oh no, did Draxum steal them too?????"(sarcastic)
Grudge against Draxum increases tenfold.
Not only did he attempt to throw him off a roof, but he stole him from you?
He's seen your setup for your turtles, those little buggers are being treated like royalty.
He wants a cool turtle tank with a constant stream of fresh fruits and veggies too.😔
If he gets to you before Mikey, he’s telling you through laughs and jokes.
Can not and will not take it seriously.
Finds it even more hilarious if it’s somehow proven to be true.
Constantly brings it up when you’re near.
Jokingly asks you to re-adopt them if he and his brothers ever get turned back into normal turtles.

There is not enough donsagi l/usatello content and I just wanna ramble abt how much chemistry Rise Donnie and Yuichi Usagi would have.
Ok so in Samurai Rabbit Usagi is repeatedly shown being super impressed by the robots around neo-edo, and its just made even more wondrous by the fact that he was raised on a farm and has seen like one robot prior to moving to neo-edo.
And now imagine him with Purple-Donatello-literally-build-robots-for-fun-Hamato. It would be so cute.
Like Donnie is rambling to him about robots and Usagi is ACTUALLY listening (although a bit confused) cus he’s Fr curious and interested.
And Donnie is just so happy to have someone to ramble to and maybe someone who repeatedly praises his intelligence and innovation.
And like OPPOSITES ATTRACT!!!
And Usagi is a silly little guy, an airhead, my man has no idea what’s going on most of the time.
And Donnie, while still being an oblivious silly little guy, is an oblivious silly little guy in another type of way. And he’s a lot more put together and he just seems like the ideal match for Usagi.
And like hdksbdkdnjdb idk they are just so perfect together and it seems rather clear as someone who has watched both shows.
Like I just love imagining them being silly together. Liek just enjoying eachother’s company.
Side note! While I do love me some sweet sweet angst, and love is an understatement. PLEASE SOMEONE JUST MAKE SOME ANGST-FREE ONLY FLUFF CONTENT OF DONSAGI!!!! PLEAAASEEE!!! THERES BARELY ANY CONTENT AND ALMOST ALL OF IT IS DONNIE BEING JEALOUS OF LEO AND USAGI’S RELATIONSHIP OR SOME OTHER KIND OF ANGST!!!
I JUST WANT TO SEE THE SILLY LITTLE GUYS HAPPY!!!! LET THEM GO ON SILLY DATES TOGETHER AND BE HAPPY WITH NO DRAMA PLEEEEAAAASEEE.
Edit: tbh I can picture it as romantic or queer-platonic. This post was focused on romance but queer-platonic would be super cute aswell.

Christmas Betting Game 💋🎁
Chapter 1: Lexi Proposes A Bet! 💋
((I told you guys I would be bringing back this picture to explain it's meaning! Hope you guys enjoy this little smutty self-insert!))
Lexi grinned at herself in the mirror, showing off her sharp teeth, as she eyed herself. Red like her eyes, she wore a bodycon dress that showed her voluptuous curves. It had no straps or strings, leaving an ample amount of cleavage to show and her shoulders bare. The hem of the dress was decorated with trims of white, faux fur. And a beautiful bow tied it altogether perfectly. With a pair of elbow-length gloves and thigh-high stockings, it completed and captured the very look she was aiming for.
A sexy, Missus Claus.
"Coo. Coo."
She felt a soft, fluttering sensation on her cheek and she looked over into the purple-tinted glasses of her owl. She gave them a smile and gently scooped up the small bird in her hand.
She placed the creature on top of her head, where it quickly settled itself into her curls like a nest. It gave her a phantom thumb's up. Chuckling, she gave herself one last look and grabbed a nearby Santa hat, putting it on her head. "I think I should dress up more often," she muttered to herself. "I should ask Asmo sometime."
"Coo," the owl replied in answer, but Lexi only rolled her ruby eyes at it. She made her way to her door, where she also grabbed a bag and a note, and left her room.
It was time for a new game to start.
💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋
It was another bustling day for the House of Lamentation. The brothers were once more getting ready for RAD and enjoying yet another eventful breakfast. But, this time, they were stunned to silence when the only human occupant decided to make her appearance.
Sauntering in the room, decked out in her Santa outfit, Lexi proudly exclaimed, " Ho ho ho, bitches!"
"Oi, Lexi, watch your language!," frowned Lucifer. He narrowed his eyes at her, but she only laughed in response, causing his brow to twitch in annoyance. He really didn't want to deal with today. "And please tell me what is the meaning of this? Why aren't you dressed for school?"
"I decided to skip school today. I got something I want to propose to you all."
Lucifer stood to protest but Satan, the fourth oldest of the bunch, abruptly intervened. "And what is it that you're thinking of proposing, Lexi?," he asked, giving her a smile that showed how amusing the whole situation was playing out in front of him.
She smiled back at him before returning her gaze to Lucifer, meeting his eyes coolly. "I want to play a game with you guys. And I think you'll all like what I got as a prize if you win."
Asmodeus, to the right of her, gasped in delight and clapped his hands together rapidly. "Ooh, I'm getting excited! I don't even know what the game is but I can tell I'm gonna win!," he squealed.
"Is the prize gonna be food? I'll play if there's some limited edition snacks involved," came the sound of the sixth oldest brother, Beelzebub. And soon the others started to chime in.
"Obviously, the prize should be money! Some cold, hard Grimm, man!"
"Waaah, if it's that new Ruri-chan figurine I've been anxiously waiting for my entire life, I would be so set!"
"Hm, I definitely wouldn't mind a new book that's been circulating in my social circles that I haven't gotten my hands on yet."
Lexi sighed and pouted as the attention from the brothers were fading away from her. She napped her fingers and a large phantom hand holding a buzzer came from underneath her hat. The sight of the hand caused Mammon to yelp and hide.
"BZZT!"
The sound of the buzzer caught everyone's attention and they were once again focusing on her. "Thank you, Sozzy," she petted the fuzzy owl under hat, chuckling when it nuzzled against her hand; the creature letting out a soft 'yeey' only Lexi could hear. Clearing her throat, she spoke again. "All of you are wrong! Though, thanks for telling me what I should get you for Christmas, but this prize is something more valuable and precious."
"Well, what is it?," came the annoyed voice of Lucifer, who was already done with the young woman's antics.
Hearing that, Lexi gave everyone a shit-eating grin, showing off her sharp, pearly whites. She brought her hands up to her breasts, leaning over the dining room table as she did so, which made all the brothers' cheeks heat up.
"It's me!"

part 1: when two stars collide
nova & nyx
Pairings: OC!Female Half-human/Half-Illyrian x Adult!Nyx
Warnings: (NSFW) suggestive language, mention of death of a parent, mention of emotional abuse, pet names (little star, little one, poor little thing), smut, lots and lots of teasing foreplay, wing play, thigh riding, nipple play, size kink vibes, dom/sub vibes
Summary: Nova meets Nyx for the first time (and smut ensues).
A/N: Hello folks, I’ve been dreaming up this scenario and character for months. About two months ago, I wrote this to get it off my chest, and I stumbled upon it recently. I’ve spiffed it up for you all. To be honest, I did not edit this thoroughly… I skimmed it and said, “that’s good enough.” I could sit here for hours and hours trying to make this perfect, but that’s not my goal. My goal here is not to make a perfect plot-filled fanfic, more so to paint a picture of the love story Nova and Nyx that I have been daydreaming about. Things may not be in chronological order, so please bear with the errors and inconsistencies. I envision it as a collection of one-shots/drabbles that highlight their story. However, the first one is wicked long, so I apologize in advance. I’m so excited and nervous…I hope y’all enjoy 😊 Please show your love and reblog!
Word Count: 6,019
I was flying. My wings outstretched and flapped with strength that propelled me forward. A smile was plastered to my face as the wind whipped against my face; my waist-length, light brown hair trailed behind me. I have never felt so free. So light. So me. The moon glowed brightly, casting a warming light on my wings making them look translucent. The blues and purples of the veins visible beneath the white skin. Suspended in the night sky. Higher and higher. Lighter and lighter. I never wanted it to stop. Blissfully sailing among the clouds. I reached out and grabbed a star cupping it in my hands. It didn’t burn, but its warmth felt like a soothing salve. The light quickly dissolves into my palms. As I danced through the sky, starlight seeped out from my fingers twirling up my arms and around my wings, leaving a trail of stardust in my wake. Peering over my shoulder, the night sky spread out behind me. Behind a wispy cloud, blinked a pair of eyes. Beautiful, eyes speckled with stardust. There was a glint of controlled chaos swirling from within. Those starry eyes twinkled, embracing me in their darkness. Giving me their undivided attention, I did not shy away. Rather, I basked in their gaze feeling completely and comfortably seen. Like, the being behind those eyes could see straight into my soul, my psyche without it seeming like an invasion of privacy. It was surely welcomed. In the night sky, those eyes looked ethereal; unforgettable. I could feel that our time was coming to an end, but wanted nothing more than to be suspended within the night sky under the gaze of those eyes made of stardust and chaos. As they winked shut, the ground seemed to fall from beneath my feet. My wings no longer worked as some invisible force tugged me down. I was falling. Down. Down. Down. Into the darkness. I jolted awake.
The sun crept up the Illyrian Mountains. As the night sky met the morning sun, dawn cast a warm orangey glow upon the Windhaven Camp. I had been up for a while now, just laying in bed thinking about those stardusted eyes. I’ve been having that dream for a while now. Always the exact same sequence of events. Always left thinking about those eyes. Longing for the next time to see them.
When the warmth caressed my face, I rolled out of bed. Cold. I shivered, as my toes hit the freezing floor. Too tired to pick them up, the bottom of my wings dragged behind me. I hissed going to feed more wood into the fire. As soon as I had dressed myself in a simple olive dress and filled my belly with some warm honeyed oats, I trudged down the steps and into the store below. My bookstore. My pride and joy, finally.
About two years ago, my father’s drinking caught up to him and within a few months, he passed. I’m not ashamed to say I was relieved. No more flinching when he raised his hand or demanded a refill. No more dealing with a toxically egotistical Illyrian male. No more hurtful words. No hiding in the back of the store.
“You’re wings are a disgrace. Fucking ugly. Stay out of sight so nobody has to see them!” he would constantly remind me whenever I ventured out from the back of the store.
Since he passed, customers had stopped coming to the store because of what I am. I’m half-human. My mother was human. A ray of sunlight on this cold, brutal mountain. Or, so I was told. I never met her… she died during childbirth. Because of me. Her body wasn’t made to birth a winged-child. My father had hoped, prayed that I would be born without them. On the other hand, my mother didn’t seem to care. There was always a chance that she couldn’t have survived the birthing process, she had just hoped that I was healthy.
As she pushed and pushed, there was so much blood. Too much. And, my Dad never let me forget that.
The only memory I have of her is her voice. “She’s blessed by Aether,” she whispered in admiration looking at my little, white wings, “Call her Nova… my bright star.” And, then, her voice faded.
My wings.
My mother loved them, but they had taken her from me.
I sighed coming back to reality. I grabbed a book, my coffee, and settled into the worn chair towards the back of the store. The seat was hidden behind some shelves yet allowed me to see the door through the small spaces between the books.
Contentedly, I stared at the cover taking a sip of the rich coffee. Midnight Pleasure. My love life was severely lacking. When I say severely lacking, truly, I mean nonexistent. Never existed ever. Nothing. Probably due to a combination of my introversion, my wings, and the fact that I haven’t ever found anyone attractive except for the love interests in my books. It is difficult to come by an Illyrian males whose personality is agreeable and is attractive. The heated kisses, longing stares, passionate lovemaking… and, even more dirty things that made my cheeks heat. First kiss… at 24, I had never even been kissed before. I wasn’t ashamed. I only was curious which is the reason I continued to live vicariously through smutty, romance novels.
Creeeek!
I lifted my eyes towards the door. Still hidden behind the bookshelves, I assessed the customer. A male I did not recognize had stopped just at the threshold of the room. Just his presence emanated power, my chest started to tingle almost like there were butterflies trying to tickle me from the inside.
His clothing showing off his muscled figure. Black combat boots beneath Illyrian leathers that hugged his muscled thighs. My eyes lingered a little bit too long where the leathers bulged at the apex of his long legs. My eyes still making their up his body. Along his arms were black, swirled tattoos. The tattoos travelled to his fingers on his right hand. Those long fingers settled on the hilt of a gorgeous sword slung around his tapered waist. Upon his shoulders perched enormous black wings which spread out a bit as my eyes glazed over them. He wore a deep v-neck shirt that exposed a glowing olive-toned chest. His jaw and nose were sculpted by the gods. His plump lips were parted just slightly showcasing perfectly white teeth. The corner of his devilishly handsome mouth quirked upwards. Long silky, black hair brushed the tops of his shoulder. One side tucked behind a beautifully pointed ear. And, those eyes.
I swallowed deeply as my mouth dried, my heartbeat picking up a bit. I stepped out from behind the bookshelves and approached.
His eyes were a deep violet, speckled with stardust swirling with night and chaos.
My heartbeat skipped. An exact replica of the eyes in my dream. His stare so intense that I could feel the heat rising to my face. It was like I could feel the blood pumping through every vein in my body. No one had ever made my body respond like this.
“Hello there, little star,” his legs moved soundlessly with preternatural grace, and he approached the counter that I stood behind.
Only then did I realize how massive he was. My face was level with his chest. And, oh gods, up close, his eyes were even more captivating. I could feel his dark power enveloping me. And, that scent. Have mercy… that smokey scent filled my nose with sea salt and ripe pears. An oh-so-sweet musk. Oh great, now I’m drooling. Okay, get your shit together. Stop staring. Say something.
“Hi,” I murmured breathlessly and blinked my dark blue eyes up at him slowly.
“What’s your name?” he said barely tilted his to the side. The corner of his lip quirking up again in that slight smirk.
Frozen. I was frozen. He was devastatingly handsome. And, he seemed to be admiring me. His eyes snagging a bit longer on my wings. No trace of pity or disgust detected upon his face. It looked more like he was gazing at a masterpiece. My heart skipped a beat… his eyes finally captured mine.
“It’s Nova,” I softly said, my wings tucked themselves in a bit more.
“Beautiful…” he murmured under his breath, his wings mimicking mine.
“I’m Nyx,” he purred, his voice feline.
Finally, my mind started to clear from his stunning appearance. Still flustered, my heartbeat evened out, yet remaining slightly faster than normal. I couldn’t believe that he was actually real. Maybe I was still dreaming… yeah, that would make more sense than this.
Interrupting my thoughts, he began, “I was actually looking for a book… Emerie told me to swing by this place, she’s a family friend.”
“Oh,” I coughed, flustered, “Well, I have books.”
Stupid. Gods. I have books? Well, duh this is a bookstore. I mentally berated my stupid response.
“What are you looking for?” I added quickly.
“What do you recommend? What about that one?” he asked and pointed at the book I was still clutching in my hands.
“Umm… I don’t think you would like this one,” my cheeks heated, and I went to stuff it in one the counter drawers, out of sight. Before I could, his arm audaciously shot over the counter snatching the book from hand. My breath caught as I watched him turn to look at the cover. He let a short chuckle, smirking.
“Midnight Pleasure,” he mused, and I took the opportunity to snatch the book back, “I would never have pegged a lady like you as a reader of erotica…” he teased.
“It’s a… romance novel!” I searched for the words a little too long and his grin widened.
“I like romance novels. I think I’ll take that one.”
“It’s… uh… not for sale. Plus, I’m still reading it.” His gaze travelled across my face, lingering on the apples of my reddened cheeks.
Most people probably found his presence terrifying. His sheer dark power radiating through the room. But, I let the darkness embrace me as it did in my dreams like a wool blanket. There was a mischievous glint in his eyes as they darkened a bit becoming more chaotic.
“Would you care to lend it to me? Once you’re finished, of course.”
A seed of defiance sprouted in my stomach; my eyes narrowed, and I scoffed. He was enjoying this. I could tell. He was enjoying flustering me. And, I liked it. I needed to put space between us. Some distance. I stepped back, ringing my hands together.
“Possibly… as long as we stop talking about romance novels.”
He smiled softly, like he had won.
He was never getting that book.
His eyes flickered, remembering something, “Actually, I did come here looking for something in particular…” he said.
My brows furrowed in confusion. This is a bookstore, if he didn’t come looking for a book, then what was he here for?
Nyx’s eyes perused some titles on the shelf beside him.
“You, my little star… I came looking for you.”
I failed to hide my surprise feeling like the floor was being ripped out from underneath me.
“But… why? We don’t know each other.”
“I think we both know that’s untrue, Nova,” the way he said my name made something in my chest start tingling.
He couldn’t know… about the dream. Could he?
Again, as if he could read my mind, he offered, “You’re the little star with white wings dancing across my night sky.”
Stunned and confused, my mouth dropped open like a fish. His words caused that incessant tingling in my chest to intensify.
“You’re even more beautiful in real life,” he admitted, “although, I didn’t except you to be such a little thing,” he teased.
“You’re just an overgrown male,” I retorted softly.
“Avery powerful and handsome overgrown male.”
I scoffed.
“And, egotistical.”
“You didn’t deny it.”
“Deny what?”
“That you find me attractive.” He teased.
Again, with the teasing. He thrived off of it, eyes glistening with a challenge. Well, there was no use in denying it. I did find him attractive. Very attractive, but also frustrating.
I rolled my eyes at his antics. There were more pressing manners… like why were we having dreams of each other?!
“What does this mean… you know, that we dream of each other?” I tentatively questioned.
He gave me a long look, brows furrowed slightly. Opening his mouth to say something, he closed it quickly. His eyes shown with worry. My chest tingled with the urge to reassure him, comfort him.
“Just tell me.”
“I don’t want to scare you off,” he admitted, looking down.
“I don’t scare easily. I promise.”
“What do you feel…” his hand came up to place two finger in the center of my chest, “…right here?”
As soon as he touched me, it was like an electric surge through my body. My toes curled as my breath caught, startled. His hand jerked backwards like he had felt it too. Like a bungee jump, something pulled at my chest. I felt it now. A tether connecting the both of us. Reaching out for it, I felt like I was falling for a short second, suspended in the air.
His eyes darkened, those starry eyes twinkled and embraced me in their darkness., “… mates, Nova. It means were mates.”
I felt dizzy. Nyx’s hands went to support my waist. Just as his fingers wrapped around my hips, the tether snapped taught. Yes, I understood what all this meant now.
A primal feeling rose from deep within me. My heartbeat faltering a bit as if its falling in sync with another. Mine. My mate. A mate. I have a mate.
“Mates…” I said breathlessly, my eyes growing slightly bigger. Failing to hide my unease, Nyx seems to be extremely observant. He steps out of my reach to give me space I assume. However, all that does is leave me unsupported, quickly, I feel like I might faint.
I feel Nyx’s hands circle my waist and guide me to kneel on the ground. Instinctively, my hands shoot out forward to ground myself. I hang my head low to alleviate the rushing sensation from crouching.
“Breathe with me, my little star,” he takes my hand and places it on his chest. Each breathe he takes expands his chest out a bit. He wants me to breathe with him, so I do.
Breathe. In. Out. In. Out. In. Out.
“I know… if I found out I was my mate, I would be on verge of fainting, too,” he wittingly states, trying to break the tense mood. A smirk beginning to form as he fights against a laugh. His tease, I couldn’t help but to bite.
“It’s good to know that you also find yourself absolutely unbearable,” I jabbed.
“Unbearably desirable. Absolutely,” he agreed with a feline grin plastered across his face.
I scoffed, rolling my eyes and pushed myself backwards so that I was kneeling, legs bent at the knee with my butt perched on the back of my calves. In a blink, Nyx was standing before me. From my spot on the ground, he appeared magnificently tall. Neck craning all the way back, I caught the heated look in his eyes as they darkened slightly while he looked down at me. My arm lifted like I was puppet. His hand was palm up. I placed my fingers on his while wrapping my thumb around the other side. Cauldron, his hands are huge. I’m only wrapping my hand around three fingers and it barely fits. Our eyes met. My chest started tingling, again.
Smiling, he pulled me to my feet. My wings settled, relaxed. He didn’t let go of my hand, but he dropped it in between us. As we stood, I noticed he how much he truly towered over me. Standing at five feet tall, I looked up to most people. But, he was at least a foot taller than me. Standing at around 6’4, the crown of my head barely reaches his shoulders. Everything about him was big. That tingling in my chest starting to spread, pooling in my core. Lord, I had never felt like this before. My breathe hastening. I gulped, eyes falling downwards. Ready to drown myself in embarrassment. I couldn’t control it. His delicious heady musk intensified, filling my nose. He smelled of night-blooming flowers, a spray of salt water, and caramelized fruits. I almost moaned.
“I usually get to know a girl before I see her on her hands and knees, little star,” Nyx suggestively raised an eyebrow at me.
“Don’t say things like that!” I screeched, burying my face behind my hands. Gods dammit, why does he have to say such things? My blushed scorched me face. Did I hate it? Absolutely not. Something deep within me wanted to purr back.
“But, you like it,” Nyx teased eying the curves of my hips. He seemed to enjoy doing that. Teasing me.
Face still buried, I spread my fingers and peered out at him. Eye level with his chest, I could see the top of his toned stomach. The olive-skinned abs disappeared down his shirt. His nostrils flared as he took a deep breath, chest rising.
Get your shit together, Nova. I told myself.
“How do you know that I like it?” I peered up into his violet eyes getting lost in the specks of stardust. Those eyes are weapons.
“You blushed. I heard your heartbeat increase, and your… scent changed,” he took a short pause towards the end to find the right words. Scent changed.
“What do I smell like?” I curiously asked, brows furrowing.
He took another long whiff through his nose closing his eyes.
“Lavender and vanilla…,” his voice had turned huskier, “it got sweeter, so I only can assume it’s your…” he gulped, eyes dipping to stare at my lips, “your arousal.”
My fingers snapped back over my face.
“It’s perfectly natural. Nothing to be embarrassed about, my little star.” He said reassuringly, leaning up against the bookshelf.
I let out a half frustrated, half embarrassed sigh.
“Nobody’s ever… talked to me that way before,” I admitted. “And, nobody has ever made me feel this way before… physically I mean,” I finished.
“You’ve never been sexually aroused?” he couldn’t hide his surprise.
I shook my head.
“Nobody has ever caught my eye. I don’t really go out all that much,” I confessed as the tone of my voice shifted, laced with sadness, “and it’s not like many people expressed interest either,” my voiced softly murmured, but of course, he heard it.
“Why do you say that?” he closed the distance between us. Our feet practically touching. My neck tilted back to stare up at him. He looked down tentatively setting his hands on my figure, one on my hip and one cupped my face. His thumb stroked my cheek comfortingly.
“My wings,” I admitted, as they sagged behind me trying to take up less space.
“What about your wings, Nova?”
“People think they’re ugly.”
I could feel his chest suppress a growl. He seemed to be getting agitated. Protective almost.
“I think they’re beautiful.” He confessed.
“You’re just saying that.” I said getting annoyed.
He couldn’t actually believe that. Nobody has ever told me that my wings are beautiful. Well, except for Emerie and my mom. Most people call them ugly. With the white flesh, the deep blue and purple veins shown through the translucent skin.
My embarrassment crept up quickly. I went to turn around to continue shelving books as a distraction, but my head throbbed.
“They are beautiful, Nova. Nothing to be embarrassed about,” he comforted me like he had a direct line to my feelings. I calmed down enough that he tacked on, “I’d worship them, if you’d let me,” he purred, eyes glinting with his tease Worship my wings. My core melted. Utterly molten. I think I wanted that to happen.
“What do you mean?” my curiosity encouraged me to ask.
Nyx leaned down brushing his lips against my ear, “I’d start with a soft breath….,” he blew outwards, “just like that.”
He had pulled back in the blink of an eye, waiting for my reaction.
The small burst of warm breath tickled a sensitive spot at the base of my left wing shooting down to my toes. Reflexively, it spasmed a bit. I shivered and let out a soft breathe that was a cross between a sigh and moan. Gods, had that spot always been there?
“My little star liked that, didn’t she?” he rhetorically questioned. His perfect lips quirked upwards in a stunning, predatory grin.
That grin held me hostage. My minding going fuzzy from the pleasurable sensation and possessive pet name.
“Do you want to know what I would do to you next?” I barely register his words, stating at those lips. My nipples hardened beneath my shirt.
I nodded dazed, entranced by his lips.
“Do you really?”
I nodded again; this time my wings spread out as if they were reaching for him.
“Nova..,” at the mention of my name, my eyes drifted upwards to his, “do you want me to continue? Use your words, please. I need to hear it from you,” his hands cupped my face. I could feel that sinful breath caressing my face.
Mouth moving before my brain had caught, “I want to know. Please. What… what would you do next?”
“Adorable, I’ve barely done anything and you’re begging already… I’d start by kissing your perfect, rosy lips all the way down your neck and shoulder to those gorgeous wings.”
His hand tracing the path along your skin. Your breath caught. “I’d play with that little spot on your wings until you could barely stand,” leaning in his breath ghosted the spot once more sending pleasure radiating to my core. My knees almost gave out, but I remained upright. My panties began to feel like they are too tight.
“Until you were begging me for more. Until you’re sweetness is pooling inside your panties,” his voice growled, “Only then would I take my finger tips and drag them all over those perfect little wings if yours.” Seriously, just his words were making my core clench. Wetness began to leak from core, slick coating the inside of my panties.
His eyes darkened, nostrils flaring. He could smell it. He knew. And, he loved the effect his words had on my body.
“I’d tease you until you couldn’t stand anymore. You’d be quivering. Shivering with pleasure.” He murmured against the corner of my mouth, hands connecting at the small on my back.
I could feel the smirk, feel the heat seeping off of him. His scent had intensified; that sweet and salty musk making me salivate. “I’d keep you right there. On the edge. And, if you were a good girl, then I’d let you cum….How does that sound, Nova?”
Lost in the fantasy, my eyes closed. I felt dizzy from arousal. Yes, yes! My mind was chanting.
Nyx chuckled.
At that, my eyes opened. The corners were soft, everything was a bit fuzzy.
Trying to piece together an actually response, my dark blue eyes widened with arousal looking doll-like.
“Yes, please.”
“So polite.” He drawled, but didn’t move to touch me. He looks at me expectantly.
“Words, Nova. What exactly do you want from me?”
“I… I want you to kiss me.”
“Where?”
Embarrassed, I broke eye contact, “please, don’t make me say it,” I begged him softly. This felt like torture, but I liked it.
“We’ll have to work on that…” he assessed me and his hand went behind me to clutch at my long pony tail.
Starting from the base, he wrapped my hair around his hand once. Twice, and tugged a bit. My neck craned up towards him, hair pulling deliciously at my scalp. With my lips parted, he asked, “May I kiss you, little star?”
I tried to nod, but could barely move from his grip on my hair. His eyes glinted as he felt me try to pull.
Words, yes, right. He wanted me to verbalize my wants.
“Yes.” It was breathier than I intended.
A hand lightly gripped my chip between his thumb and index finger while he leaned in. His sweet breath became overwhelming, lips hovering over mine. Waiting. Teasing more like it. Just fucking kiss me.
His lips brushed mine, softly. Lower lip dragging slightly over his upper lip. Chest rumbling, something snapped. My chest tightened as our bond pulled taught Like, he couldn’t hold back any longer, his mouth devoured mine. My hands were frozen by my sides as his mouth moved over mine.
Oh my. His lips are heavenly. So soft. They are on mine. And, he smells so fucking good.
Lacking in experience, it took me a while process the situation before I realized that I should probably kiss him back. The entire time I was frozen, his hands had been running up and down my back; caressing me into the sensation of his lips on mine. That primal voice screaming devour him too! With newfound courage, I lifted my hands to thread through the nape of his neck. Gripping the hair and pulling slightly causing him to groan. He pressed me against him further as if we needed to become one entity altogether.
I gasped as I felt his warm tongue drag along the seam of my lips. My lips parted involuntarily, and Nyx slid his tongue into my mouth. I sighed into him, opening my mouth allowing him inside. Letting him explore me. His tongue danced with mine. Tasting each other. There was no doubt about who was in control in this situation; his tongue taking the lead. His grip tightening on my waist with one hand while the other comes up to cup the back of my head, tilting it just where he wants it as his thumb softly strokes my cheek. Our lips part with smacking noise. My head is spinning. All I can smell is him. All I can taste is him. Sweet. Immediately, he starts trailing kissing down my jaw, sucking lightly when I let out a gasping moan when he arrives at the spot below my ear.
“Hmmm…” I hum blissed out. My fists tightening in his hair to keep him there. I can feel him smile against me. He gives the spot a quick peck, and continues his descent. He pays close attention, sucking at the spots that elicit a gasp or a moan from me. The spot below my ear. The spot in the middle of the tendon along the side of my neck. The hollow of my throat. That one in particular makes me gulp for air as I press my legs together beneath my dress to alleviate the need to press myself against Nyx. Ever observant, Nyx notices.
“Uh, uh, uh…keep your legs spread,” his leg wedges between mine pressing up against my aching heat. I sigh in relief closing my eyes and my hands fall from his hair. His hand grips my jaw lightly, “Eyes open. If my little star is feeling that needy, then she needs to use her voice and ask for it,” he drawls out as his hands begin to trace lightly from my shoulders down to the tips of my fingers. Each time the ticklish trail moves closer and closer to the base of my wings. Each time, I have a harder time catching my breath. My eyes are locked with his, pleading. Begging him. On verge of becoming a begging, crying mess.
“If you think those pretty eyes are going to make me go easy on you, then you are mistaken,” a small whine escapes my throat at his words. At the sound, his eyes darken. A mischievous glint in his eyes sets the stardust in a spiral of chaos. Realizing that he’s not going to give in, I sigh in defeat.
“Please…” I begin quietly, eyes glancing downwards every so often. His gaze is so powerfully beautiful that it can be intimidating. But, I catch the nod he gives me to go on. Ugh, does he really have to make me say everything out loud? It makes me feel so dirty, but I kind of like it.
I open my mouth to continue, but smack it closed in embarrassment. A deep flush spreads across my cheeks.
Oh, please. Just do something or I’m going to go crazy.
Taking mercy on me, Nyx askes, “Do you want me to make you feel good?”
I lock eyes with his nodding. Yes. Yes. Yes!
“Do you want me to touch you, Nova?” Nyx asks in a rougher voice.
“Yes, please.”
“Good girl.”
Good girl. Oh gods. I grind down a bit on his leg wedged between mine. I want him to call me that all the time.
He grins as if he knows exactly what calling me his good girl does to my body.
“Where do you want me to touch you?” he continues his questions. As if he could sense my unease about voicing my wants, he adds, “I need to know exactly what you want so we can have boundaries, Nova. I want to make you feel good. I want to make you cum.” He growls the last sentence into the crook of my neck. His voice vibrating and sending a rush of heat down to my aching core. He pushes his leg up a bit to add more pressure to my core. I grip him tighter and sigh in response. My head growing light and vision fuzzy. I just want him to touch me. I can’t think anymore!
“M-my wings,” I stutter out. His eyes darken, hands coming up to trail towards the base of my wings.
“Are you absolutely sure, Little Star?”
“Yes. Nyx, please,” I confirm in a whine. That primal voice within me screaming…touch me touch me touch me!
At the first touch of his finger on the base of my wing, I gasp loudly and shutter. It feels like the perfect balance of way too sensitive to way too ticklish. It’s a lovely torture that ignites the ache that has been building within my core. Pressing a bit more firmly he begins to make small, tight circles against the tendons and knots with his thumbs, I moan and press my lips up to meet his in a sloppy kiss. It feels like heaven. Moving a bit faster, the sensation feels akin to rubbing small, tight circle somewhere else. You know where I mean.
I gasp as he picks up speed. Nyx focuses his attention on littering my neck with kisses as his fingers work their magic. I settle into the sensations, sinking into the feeling of his fingers and hands as the fire within my core builds. Bearing down even more on his leg, I can’t help myself, but start to slowly grind my core against his leathers. The movement creates a delicious friction.
“Yes, little star, take your pleasure,” Nyx praises me with his lips parted. With each rock of my hips, my pubic bone sensually massages his growing bulge. His lips slightly part, eyelids drooping. I ride his thigh with vigor as he massages the base of my wings, but I need more. The strain on my body from exerting myself making me feel weak and frustrated.
“More, please,” I plead, eyes beginning to tear. Becoming desperate, I grab one of his hands and guide it to my breast. He takes the message. Through the fabric of my shirt, his thumb swipes over the pebbled bud. A shutter racks through my core as the heat intensifies. My hips still weakly rocking against him.
“Ohhh…yes!” I moan out as he takes both nipples between his fingers through the fabric and rolls them. My chest tightens at that movement, pressing my core fervently against his thigh. Arms grasping to fist at the fabric of his shirt. My thighs clamping down on his leg, the heat becomes all too much.
“Let go, little star,” Nyx purrs against my ear, fingers moving to assault a different spot at the junction of my wing and shoulder. White hot pleasure sears from my wings to my core pushing me towards the edge. Higher and higher. Lighter and lighter. I never wanted it to stop. Suspended in his night sky, only his violet eyes grounding me as if I am in a trance.
“You’ve been such a good girl, Nova,” Nyx whispers, then kissed my forehead. Out of breath, we both know how close I am.
Right on the edge. Just a little bit more. More. Please. Mate.
“Cum for me, mate,” Nyx growls into my ear. I shudder, eyes rolling back into the head as I succumb to the white-hot pleasure that radiates from deep within my core. The sensation grows, consuming my leg and lower torso. Moving up to my wings which begin to twitch. My core clenches down as my legs flex, milking the pleasure. Nyx hands wrap around me, securing myself to him. My core begins to flutter in pulse-like clenches… wanting something to fill it up. Slowly, my breath regulates itself. I lift my head, still feeling light and dizzy, to find Nyx grinning like the Cheshire cat down at me. With a kiss to crown of my head, he hugs me closer.
What about him? What about his pleasure? I want to make him feel good, too.
I begin to snake my hand in between our bodies towards his bulge. With preternatural reflexes, he stops my hand. Bringing it up to kiss, he mumbles against my fingers, “I didn’t expect to come here and have you like this. I want you to know that. This was about you. Only you. My mate. We can focus on me later.”
“Next time…” I concede laying to rest my head against his chest. Completely satiated and extremely tired, my eyes begin to close. He’s been supporting most of my weight while we stood for this whole time.
“lay down…” I request quietly into his chest.
“Your’s or mine?” Nyx slyly asks obviously not as tired as I am.
“Wanna sleep, don’t care,” I mumble, feeling protected and safe within his arms.
“Okay, you expended too much of your energy, poor little thing. Don’t you worry, I’ll take care of you,” Nyx whispers all this with his head in the crook of my neck. He raises to his full height taking me with him. Cradled in his arms, my neck is buried into his chest. I hear his heartbeat. Because I know the route so well, I feel us walk back through my shop towards the front door. Nyx grabs the keys from the front counter, then goes to exit and lock the front door.
“Hold on tight, little star. We’ll go to mine,” he pulls me in tighter, bends down, then launches into the morning sky. Wings flapping behind us. I peered up at Nyx. Beautiful, eyes speckled with stardust. I basked in his gaze feeling completely and comfortably seen. In the morning sky, his eyes looked ethereal; unforgettable.
If you would have told me that today I would meet my mate, I would have laughed in your face. Yet, here I am… cocooned within his strong embrace, still on cloud nine from the best orgasm of my life and feeling safe and secure in our new bond. A bond that I want to pursue. Desperately want to continue to pursue.
Flying in his arms, I have never felt so free. So light. So me.
“Sleep,” Nyx coaxed me with lingering kiss to my temple, then pulled back to gaze down at me. Those starry eyes twinkled, embracing me in their darkness as my own shut with exhaustion. Dreaming about waking up to the eyes in my dreams.
If I was his little star, then he was my night sky.
(Thank you for reading this far!! Sending you my love!!)

Just for fun, I figured it'd be interesting to post a "before and after" comparison, with the raw picture straight from the game on the left (before shaders) and my final edit on the right.
I don't always do this, god I don't have enough time in the day to do this for every photo I take and in retrospect I could have probably spent my afternoon in better ways yesterday, but I think some shots really deserve the extra effort.
So if that sounds interesting to you let me show you a breakdown of what goes into a shot like this!
When I decide bring a picture on the editing table, usually first and foremost I take a photo of the environment by itself, and a chromakey photo of just the characters of the foreground (I eventually cut out the rest of the floor by hand). These will come in handy for adjusting the elements of the picture independently later.
What I'll probably touch up on first is smoothing out polygons. Shoulders, knees and other joints tend to create unnatural sharp angles when bent too much, and muscles like the thigh here can't accurately simulate the way human muscles flex. Not to mention the body horror going on with that thumb.
While I'm at it, I painted over some parts of the model where the lighting got confused, and made it look a little more believable, like on the fingers of Wilan's hand here.
The biggest reason I did a photoshop pass however is the skirt. Everyone who has ever tried to pose with skirts, robes or capes knows that FFXIV isn't really built for handling cloth, and there's a lot of negotiating involved to make it look decent. I sent more time than I care to admit trying to get the best approximation possible, smoothed it out with Liquify and then painted over folds that didn't quite look believable and details that clipped in awkward places.
While I was painting over polygons, there were a handful of places where I couldn't avoid some clipping, and certain spots were more noticeable than others. For all the spots where the 3D models really wouldn't behave I resorted to just fix it manually.
Once that's done, I went over the lighting. Gpose's three posable lights did most of the work, but I still went in to take care of some details. In most places I just painted over additional highlights on shiny material, or I added subtle touches of rim lighting to make the pose more readable.
And then, for something less subtle, I sometimes just add more rim light for no other reason than to make the pose more dramatic or to further make it pop from the background. This is a photo with a strong pose and sense of motion, so it's worth taking the time to highlight it.
(speaking of which, the base pose I used for this shot was done by Nhagiri, even though as I almost always do when I use pre-made poses I spent plenty of time adjusting it and calibrating it to my two specific OCs)
This shot had pretty intense and dramatic back-light too, so since FFXIV's graphic engine usually calls it a day early when it comes to draw ground shadows I've just painted it myself.
And most importantly, the lighting was very carefully set but I couldn't manage to properly light up their faces without messing with the overall light and shadow contrast. So I carefully mixed in a different photo with better lighting on their faces, and then calibrated the luminosity and exposure to make sure they'd be the the centerpoint of the shot.
Well that's about it for the models, now off to the color correction.
Most of it was done in photoshop but a lot of the heavy lifting was made by shaders. My go-to presets are @owlincense's CandleBlooms (formerly known as Purple Cocoon), which I've used in pretty much every single one of my photos and can't recommend enough. For this shot in particular I've used her Tourmaline Colorful preset.
It looks great already, but I have some further touches in mind for the specific mood I'm looking for for this scene and I don't want to mess to mess with the shaders' interface to achieve them, so post-editing it is.
First of all I've adjusted the tonality of the background to be colder and more bluish and a tiny bit less saturated, while accentuating the reds of the two characters, bumping up slightly their saturation and contrast.
I've also manually simulated bright light coming from the main hall in what's hopefully a convincingly seamless fashion, reinforcing the light source and making the strong highlights and shadows feel more justified, and a vignette to darken the far edges of the composition.
Just a little dash of particles caught in the light as the last touch, and that's about it! Wilan and Delen can enjoy their passionate tango, in a little quite corner to themselves, just outside the bustle of the celebration in the main hall.

Hi, yoonia! I have been wondering how to make fanfic banners like the ones with member’s pics in them? Like do you use Photoshop? Can you do a tutorial or something? Because those banners be looking fine asf!
Also, a small request, cna you also do a tutorial on how to make the header image like yours is, it's a gif, but with yoonkook’s picture in it? How do you do that? Looks pretty as fuck! I wanna learn how to do that! And your header image is so pretty, may i ask where did you find the background picture, the black, purple one? It’s very pretty!
Hello! First and formost, I’m sorry for the late reply, I haven’t been well lately, but your message is so kind, so thank you so much for making me smile! Yes, I do use Photoshop to create my fic banners.
I actually learned my way around it based on this wonderful tutorial shared by @eerieedits. I followed the steps in the tutorial to learn my basics before adding my own touch for my banners. The tutorial is really easy to follow, and there are resources links added to help you find anything you need, so I’m sure everything that has been added in the post can help you to learn the basics :)
For my fic banners specifically, the steps I take to create them usually goes like this:
step 1. choose the background that would fit the story (I usually find the background photos from unsplash)
step 2. pick the member(s) photo that I want to use. As for the member photos, I usually delete the background and change them into blank png either manually (with photoshop) or use this website to help me
step 3. add other key elements that represent the story (the picture below may explain more about this part)
step 4. adjust hue/saturation/colouring according to the theme I want — you can find steps by steps to do this on the post linked above too
step 5. add text
step 6. final touch: I usually add png overlay to give a more dramatic effect and a noir look (that isn’t fully noir lol)
See down below for an example of the step by step process of my fic banner editing:
for example, this banner for Carousel
the steps I go through to create this and the items I added:
For these banners on my blog, I used the same steps to create them together:
First, I got the black-purple background from unsplash. A little tip, If you want to try to find similar images with these sparks of colours, use “[colour] background” on the search bar provided in the site. I had to go through a bunch of scrolling before choosing this one and I had to tweak the original picture a bit before I got the final look.
Minor adjustment on the background photo: added a copy of the background photo as a second layer over the original/background photo, add multiply effect on the second layer, arranged it with 50% opacity to make it darker without losing the details of the purple sparks.
For the rest of the steps, I followed the same steps as mentioned and shown above. Only difference that I made was switch the png overlay with gif overlay. I used star.gif from eerieedits’ resource/collection.
I hope this helps!

i wanna hear about,,,, literally any of ur guys actually i love hearing abt ur guys :] if thats too vague pick me a guy and tell me about their inspirations/how you came up with their stories/designs/traits!! i think your stuff is so fascinating and i wanna know how that rotates in ur brain
OOOG…. Thank youe…. I’ve realized a few patterns in how I tell my stories lately so I do want to go over those! I’ll be using yvette my buddy my pal to demonstrate this because he’s the best example. ( later edit : Actually I have more stuff to talk about I’ll number it)
1. I’ve noticed a ton of my story material is based on how the people around us or our surroundings effect us. The cycles and whatnot. For yvette he starts out as a yellow blood and, in trying to forcefully change the oppression imposed on him from his surroundings, actually sort of just continues it by killing a close friend of his. That friend ends up haunting him. Teed hee
Idk if the pictures will come across well since I’m on mobile but to break down this specific piece the colors used on REPENT and the tapeworms in the back are actually the colors of his old psionics before he did all that mad scientist crap to change himself. OLD ART!! AUGHH AU AUGGHH
Is it a little stupid that he changes his own blood color? Yes. But homestuck as it’s own is so beyond stupid that I can do whatever I want I’m a scavenger a critter.
But by changing his blood color yvette essentially locks away his psionics (there must be something very specific to yellow blood to make the psionics work to me) siphoning them off into the trident he wields. He can’t get rid of ALL of his original blood, so the yellow just stays dormant. Should he choose to use his psionics in this new state he’s made for himself he risks fucking up his organs even further.
Anyways it takes a human child with the same exact problems as him to realize Heyyy…..maybe what I did and have been doing is a little fucked. Which it was. But it was the only thing he could have done, in his eyes, because the alternative was getting hooked up to a machine for the rest of his life.
At the end of the story (? Fan venture?) he does break out his psionics again which causes the blood to mix. He’s redeemed but he’s not nearly as cool anymore. Big bummer
2. colors always mean things more often than not in my art. I am a “why is the curtain blue” type of asshole, and I love to do it. For instance in MATSC green is for heaven and blue is for hell, but they have more than just that meaning. Green is confinement and being trapped and whatnot, while blue is freedom. Still kind of iffy on what purple means but it may mean the same as green. We’re figuring it out. In LEM I’m also still working on it, but blue is a mainly bad color there while orange is instead the signifier of good things. As for paradigm shift it’s more of a character-to-character basis. They all get their own specific colors. I loveeee colors colors colors :)
3. I LOVE writing villains. It is my personal goal with every villain I write to see how genuinely horrible I can make the villain as a person and still get people to enjoy reading them. It’s so fun, I mean it. Like the type of guy that would absolutely stump tumblr’s famous reading incomprehension. I love it I LOVE IT
4. This isn’t about my stories overall, just one, but I finally finished the first draft for act one of paradigm shift which I am PSYCHED about. I sent it out to a few people for feedback- only a select few people, though. If it were any other story I’d send it to a wider range but it is IMPERATIVE that my buddies that experienced max first hand when we were little 12 year old kids doing stupid roleplays get to see it first. They know him very well, and Vice versa. I’m so excited. (Air horns) (yippee sound!)

The Skeleton House
Related to my story/fanfiction.
When I first started working on the chapter (chapter 64) where Sans and Frisk explored their new house. I had no idea what to write and no view for it myself.
So like the nerd that I am. I decided to first make one on the Sims. Then use that as a blueprint to write with.
It worked perfectly and I got through the chapter no issue.
Then someone asked if they could see what the house looked like and I figured 'Sure. I can just make a tiny post and like upload the picture in the sidenotes.'
TURNS OUT! The Sims did in matter of fact NOT save the house that I made, anywhere. So that plan was a bust.
So obviously. I figured it would a great plan to REMAKE the house.
Turns out. Making it from text -> house is a lot harder than the other way around.
I was just going to show the finished results but I guess you all can see my struggle:
Try 1. I ended up deleting it as I could not make the layout work as I wanted and I decided I wanted more space to work with. Just in case.
So I went to look through the houses that were there to figure out which family I could evict and house I could bulldoze (Gotta love the Sims)
I ended up going for a house in Windenburg:
I picked it because there were no direct neighbors and no direct roads which worked for my emergence and so my overall idea.
So I bulldozed the lot and I got to work with the basic layout on the groundfloor.
At some point I was happy with the overall layout. You will see the upper left change a bit.
Once I was happy with the groundfloor I added the overall layout for the first and second floors as well. I also decided to struggle on the staircase for about 20 minutes to get a hole around the top part of the stairs.
This is the only picture I got where it is obvious but damnit I am proud of it and it deserves the spotlight. But I spend 20 minutes on it so it deserves the mention. No I did not do the same with the second staircase. I don't enjoy suffering.
After that I made a bit of a sandy path to the front of the house and I added some windows and lights, mostly to make it light inside to enable myself to see what I was doing. I have eben making small edits to the overall layout and shape but it remained mostly the same.
The next view updates go fast because I got in the decorating zone and I just kinda went.
Tada! The groundfloor! Some of you will notice it is slightly different than the house in the story. Mostly this is how I imagine it will eventually look. After the guys also made it a bit more there own:
Blue circle: The first guestroom. I made all the guest rooms generic. mostly because I don't hate myself and was not in the mood to make them all different.
Green circle: Groundfloor bathroom
Purple arrow: The area that is different from the story. In my head the guys will end up renovating the house a little which means they will sacrifices one of the guest rooms for another staircase to the library that does not yet exist.
White arrow: the dining room. I wanted to use a bigger table but the Sims does not HAVE bigger tables thant 3X1 and I couldn't find a good one that should look like a big one if you place them next to one another and I wasn't in the mood to try and make it work with moveobjects on cheat. At elast the number of chairs is enough
Red circle: The pantry.
Obviously in the center by the staircase you see the living room.
Top right is the kitchen.
and bottom right is the hallway and enterance to the house.
That was the rundown of the groundfloor!
First floor lets go!
Okay here we go!
Purple circle: The library that was added later by the guys, before that part of the house did not exist.
Green circle: General bathroom
Blue circles: five guestrooms
Pink circle: Frisk's room and they bathroom, bathroom has a door both to the hallway and to their room. I want to add that I added the non-binary flag above their bed but you can't see it clearly but I want everyone to know it is there I swear.
Yellow circle: Sans' room with bathroom, bathroom does not have a door to the hallway.
The top floor is honestly boring but to be complete I will show you
I did not decorate all the rooms because I didn't know what to make them all yet. The center room is just the bedroom for Horror, Killer, Dust and Cross. It is honestly just a room with a giant bed in it because all they do there is sleep and otherwise they are either on the bottom floor or in the garden.
Now. The garden.
As you saw with the tour of the house, the garden is still very empty. Not for long!
Here is the front garden and the roof. Fun fact. the roof is actually rather easy and If you are struggling with adding one because of the windows. If you use a slightly smaller window and put it as high as possible you get a little bit of wall under the window. Then, when you add the roof you can make the tip of the roof lower. Then it is a matter of making it smaller until it fits under the window. No cheats required, just some patience.
Anyway, that were the roofs. The garden was just me adding the sand path with the terrain editor. Digging a river type thing with the dig tool and add water tool. I made a tiny pit where I added a volcanic pit, just for flavour to serve as a firepit. Then I just added a buttload of trees and plants and waterstuff.
Some of it even lit up which made me very happy.
But that is it! the Skeleton Estate!
Final overview shot:
For those curious it took me about 5 hours to remake it (Not counting the 2 hours with the failed attempt at the start)
I will probably never use the house in the Sims but it is there and I actually saved it this time so hopefully if I even need the reference again I don't have to rebuild it again.
