I think Bixby Prospero in #DanielSpellbound deserved to look a bit more goblin considering being half-goblin/half-human. With and without glamour. Another character I've liked and wanted to draw more of! Also had another variant of what I feel she would look like a bit more in the middle normally, but I'm a bit torn bc I do love their design as is.. I figured the pic on the right was just having the goblin show more when heated up.

#Bixby Prospero #Daniel Spellbound #Bleeding Magic AU #goblin #honestly has more orc kind of vibes but they did say goblin I guess #Bixby's VA goes by she/her and they/them I believe and I SWEAR I saw them use that for Bixby too but can't find it now!!#but I like to think Bixby also goes by that :)#my art #I took some inspiration from monkeys/ape mouths being terrifying in a human adjacent way

Some matador studies :)

+ ref pic I like but couldn't even attempt to draw 😭

#its funny how your brain can randomly turn on #no one saw it (i hope) but i posted some other matador sketches last night #MAN they were not great imo. i only kept one of them for this post lmao #like i was referencing pics and it was just not working in my brain except for the one #and then i came back to it just now and boom suddenly i could ref poses very well??????#istg i either struggle so bad and have to trace the pose to check shapes and its a whole ordeal #or like now i randomly can look at pics and get the pose down pretty well #not perfect obv but i drew these all in like 50 mins so ????? pretty good no?#just having a severe matador moment #like i wanna draw more of the AU but i need to study poses first #something i actually really dont do a lot cause its often frustrating #but wow these were quite fun!#not worrying abt the end product yknow #i love matador pics so fucking much #bcs you never have to worry abt: is this unrealistic? is this too flamboyant?#cause man the pics are fucking insane #i think the legs are my favorite? theyre all just very slayful i guess. idk how to describe it #but it always feels like a dance #anyways! maybe more matador nando soon #i think i said before but ah....really wanna draw him bloody #catie.art.#matador au

had to relisten to 2.4 for my last drawing and got compelled to draw the scene of dani point blank shooting her own dead dreams so here we are

#rolling with difficulty #dani rwd #this was so much fun like i wasn't expecting to enjoy this as much as i did but like!! complementary colours go brr i guess #it's just.. such a cool visual like design choice? anyway #in hindsight this is dnd so i'm not sure if she's supposed to have an actual handgun but it's fine #i just googled pistol and took the first pic off google images #i should draw dani more her design is so much fun #every time i draw the hypnagoug i jsut choose to ignore more of its description but come on #i think sacrificing a bit of accuracy for rule of cool in this case is pretty understandable #as a side note the reason why i drew my last hypnagoug comic in greyscale was that for some reason that entire fight is just #greyscale. in my brain. idk why like genuinely that's how i imagine it #but for this one i really wanted to get the blue/orange contrast so here we are #ALSO side note to the side note but if you saw my demon possession au comic from the discord (which. no you didn't)#THAT ONE was in greyscale bc i was trying to save time bc i literally rushed that in more or less one sitting #and colouring in greyscale is just.. pretty intuitive for me for whatever reason so i just did it so i thought it would be faster #idk fun fact i guess #art I made

How did you manage to not turn into the dreaded number 66's victim? How you managed to get away from the studio?

.......... no... I-I...

... I did get captured and absorbed by that Ink Amalgamation.

I survived all that time thanks to the help of my friends but him and Sammy hunting me down really made it difficult. Then... one day, they got me. Swallowed me up right in front of my friends. I remember bein' surrounded by ink, way too much ink, and there was nothin' but darkness. It felt like I was drowning and gettin' weaker and weaker, about to disappear and become part of him. But I didn't want to melt away into nothin', I wanted to see my friends again, Alice, Boris, Barry, and Henry. So I fought back as hard as I can, and I don't know how but I managed to win. Maybe I got some help from the other fallen Bendys or somethin'. I was swimmin' around in their ink, after all. Eventually I gained a bit of control and the only thing I thought of doin' is gettin' rid of all that ink, so I forced it out. Yeah, 66... he did not like that. Even in the darkness, I saw 66 approach me. With this dark void we were in, we were the only two Bendys left in the world. He grabbed me and I couldn't move. He said how he'd make sure I was melted into nothing as he forced me to become a part of him. He started melting and absorbing me into him again, so I tried fighting back. And, I don't know how it happened, but I turned the tables on him. In that moment of eat or be eaten, I instead managed to absorb 66 into me. I think I blacked out because I don't really remember what happened after that, but when I came to, I was surrounded by my friends, oh that was one of the best feelings in the world.

With that Ink Amalgamation not in control of the studio anymore, we found that we could escape, so we did. Man I won't ever forget the amazement and confusion we got steppin' into the city again after bein' gone for apparently over 40 years. A lot changed after all.

(( don't mind me changing up the AU a bit... ))

wondering how c!karl would feel if he were to remember quackity. wondering about everything coming back in bits and pieces as he learns more and more about the inbetween and other side and how to split his time between them.

at first there’s unease and a vague sense of horror because why is he remembering such sweet, loving moments with his murderer? and then he’s angrier (more afraid) than ever before because things were good. he has such incredible memories with quackity and quackity still somehow turned around and killed him, what the fuck? but the more that come back the less certain he is of that. because all of them are good. there are so many, coming back piece by piece, and only the memory of his death stands out as something truly awful. he stops being mad that quackity would betray him like that and starts wondering why.

and then one day he remembers agreeing to it, remembers the plan. quackity murdering him slots seamlessly into place with the context behind it and it’s terrifying because it makes perfect sense. he can remember the terror associated with seeing quackity that day and his murder but he cant feel it anymore. of course quackity killed him. that was the plan. they all agreed on it. hell, quackity was the one who was most vocally against it happening.

it still doesnt add up. because if they were engaged and things were so good and quackity didnt betray him, why arent they together? why isnt quackity in kinoko? what drove them apart, what has he still forgotten? he remembers building kinoko. he remembers planning to invite sapnap and george and quackity. he remembers weeks and then months spent with only one half of his heart.

no matter how much time goes by, he does not remember inviting quackity to kinoko. the pit in his stomach grows, and grows, and grows.

#i started typing way more than this but then realized no you have spoken enough girl be quiet #idk i just. mmmmm. how would it make him feel #realizing that the catalyst and the reason it all fell apart was Him.#miscommunication sure but karl was at the center of it #at the beginning forgetting to invite him and in the middle forgetting he existed altogether and at the end only knowing him as a murderer #he remembers when the inbetween would smile at him. he remembers how that smile looked so similar to quackity's.#he wonders if he forgot on his own or if the inbetween saw an opportunity to begin to isolate him and took it #hes smarter now he knows to split his time between them #to stay balanced and learn from both sides #but he didnt always know. he wasnt always careful.#i like to think that after the whole argument sapnap goes and visits quackity #and makes it a habit to see him frequently and split his time between the two of them #and he and q work out a lot of the miscommunication #both of them having assumed the other went and made a country without so much as thinking of them #when in reality both places were meant to house all four of them #neither of them knowing what the FUCK is going on with karl #ugh idk its all in my head somewhere #its not THE fix it au but its kinda sorta something i guess #alyalyoxenfree

I gotta make a spin-off au where Michael stays in Hurricane post-scoop i think it’d be nice. It freaks his friends out at first (long-lasting gay crush slash ex-coworker and uncle-dad-guy that rarely leaves his own house) but they get used to it. Like maybe instead of him and his mom skipping town Janet just stays and keeps an eye on him. Like

Janet, calling Henry: Hey buddy you happen to have sewing supplies

Henry: ? hi janet? yes why??

Janet, who watched Michael accidentally split himself right back open 5 minutes ago: Great can you come over. With the sewing supplies

Maybe also featuring Michael investigating the abandoned Fazbear’s building that his dad’s iconic purple convertible has been parked outside of for a bit

#i’d also do no crackshipping in the au at all totally (<- lying)#scov.txt #fnaf: hauntings of the past au #i guess. it counts since its a spinoff of that #jeremy WILL find a way to bone the zombie man btw. even if jeremy himself is wheelchair bound #and even if hes been telling himself for years now that he’ll confess to mike ‘soon’ like ok yeah sure buddy #that got off topic #but yeah :] it’d be fun i think #mike: are you sure you arent like. freaked out by this #henry: i saw my daughter dead outside of my own establishment michael i think i can handle this

I like cult Aphid bc I like writing and drawing characters with something wrong with them™️ but the amount of prerequisites for him to join and STAY is a lot because he's got a lot wrong with him without also joining a cult, it takes some heavy fuckin lifting. So I'm just going over bullet points for this au in this post tbh.

1. Sister has to visit his home a little after he moves to Hope County, before the cult is at its worst and before he really properly starts at the sherrifs office

2. Has to meet John in a friendly setting prior to this and able to stand him enough to actually become his friend. (He absolutely cannot meet Sharky in this au until after its too late because it will become about them and its supposed to be JohnxAphid)

3. Big fight between him and Ruby which causes him to go over to Johns house and rant for 30 minutes about how he's got no one and he's sick of his family

(Alternatively Ruby dies but I really hate killing her just to make my boy sad in general and I don't like the idea of killing her until like, New Dawn time maybe and even then its like blaze of glory shit, its also more interesting for her to be alive in this au)

4. This prompts John to get him to join Edens gate, hes on the fence about joining but he's sort of considering, but like he's heard all the bs you have to do to join and isn't exactly jazzed at the idea of it. Hes also incredibly weary of a lot of religion because of his childhood n shit but let's not talk about that.

5. Aphid hops on the denial train when shit begins to hit the fan and Ruby trying to help gets into it with him again but this time its like "hey lil bro, I noticed your gay ass is about to join a cult so maybe don't?" And another fight and hes like "fuck it" and joins out of spite (dipshit)

6. Now he has to have good reason to stay in, which I'm genuinely not sure about outside of like, him and John start dating and he's like "fuck it" and leans into it. Like dating for long enough that it's at the "meet the family" kinda point.

7. He also can't be around for the first time Faith gets replaced because he could ignore it if it happens once (king of "not my business not my problem" in this au fr) but probably not twice

8. Continues to ride the denial train for a while but eventually when the reaping begins he doesn't really stay because he believes in it or whatever but because he just knows enough members of the project that he doesn't want to fight them anymore and kinda drops out of his job at the sherrifs office one day without 2 weeks notice or anything. (Point of no return for him, this point forward he can't be convinced to leave by anyone or anything)

9. Ruby will have to to take place of "main problem causer" this au (I finally let her do something woah) and the resistance generally sees her like "oh sorry your brother went crazy I think you gotta kill him tho??? Sorry"

10. Can't tell which Seeds die or if Aphid works really fucking hard to keep em around, John makes it because Aph is consistent in protecting people he loves in every au fr but they lose the bunker key in the process. Same with Jacob maybe.

11. Faith is difference bc Ruby is a bleeding heart with a savior complex and completely falls for the front she puts up and is like "but we gotta help her 🥺" but Faith does get to leave the project (sorta kinda, it's a whole thing) and survives

12. Dude idk if I can keep her from shooting Joseph and I kinda want her to fr like he starts doing his speech and she does not let him finish. Aphids busy with keeping his very pissed off boyfriend, the brother who looked like he was about to be cool with death, and the members he was able to get to safe. He doesn't even realize he straight forgot about Joseph til its too late.

13. Ruby does a broadcast about Joseph and asks Aphid one last time to come back but he's all in now and probably isnt gonna back out anytime soon. He still goes to confront her and since Aphid might as well be a raid boss theres a big show down between the two of them. They're fighting and Ruby gets really close to killing him but she hesitates because "fuck that's my brother, I raised him, I love him, this is so fucked"

14. In the minutes she hesitates the collapse comes. It's late, but it happens and Aphid just bolts to the bunker he had holed up with John in up until that point. Can't decide who Ruby's bunker buddy is. Could stick her with the Edens Gate people and have fun new issues but who knows.

That's the broad strokes though, probably won't write anything for this past a one shot or two if I feel like it but I thought it'd be fun to lay it all out like tism

#ok but what if i got into some nonsense instead #aphid hernandez #im talking now #far cry 5 #cult!aphid #idk what cool name to give him but i guess he'd be like a chosen but worse #oh!#ruby hernandez #yuh girlies tag i dont use #ruby crushes on grace hard in this btw #no clue if its a ship but i think its be cool #sharky is around this au and i think itd be funny if he saw aphid fighting and had his bi awakening bc of him either way #but despite how it may seem i cannot control my ocs #its like sims i tell them to do something and usually its done #but sometimes they go #my writing #if theres any errors in this its bc ive been awake all night at the airport #bc my flight got cancled #be nice to me or else

the funny thing is everyone's like "oh yea a fic studying the senses of an inhuman character, that's pretty cool" but Little Do They Know i happened upon this idea by accident. Sentido started as me just messing around with the idea of hearing Life And Death, which REALLY started as a "Vash can hear dead people" kinda au lksdjfld

decided to go with less of a literal Hearing Dead People and went more of Hearing Death being the acute hearing of death-related sounds. i think this idea's pretty good tbh, even with how accidental it was

#speculation nation #listen i was looking on my akeshu ideas doc like 'is there anything i can recycle?'#bc i had NO ideas but i wanted to write smth for vashwood Desperately #saw my Akira Sees Dead People au & was like 'hmmmm' and then this happened #another Sentido Fun Fact was that the entire like first part of chapter 1 was written on the toilet lksdjlkdjf #i write entirely by phone (thumbs are fast & it helps me focus) and ykno what. when the idea hits. it hits.#a Vash Hears Dead People au could have its place but tbh there wouldnt be as much use to it ykno #like with p5 the dead live on in the narrative. goro's mom & futaba's mom & so on #people separate from akira so as to make it less uhhh. Personal i guess #also with akira being so young in comparison. and being freshly traveled to tokyo.#for vash he'd be walking in a cesspool of ghosts for some 150 years. i think that would kinda just drive him insane.#it would just change who he is as a person! & cheapens the idea of accepting death in Trigun #p5 it's like 'heres some teens doing metaphysical things and also theres a talking cat'. hearing dead ppl talk isnt that weird in the end #i do still wanna write that. someday...#for now tho im enjoying my sacrilegious gun anime lmao

the thing about grace chasity is: if i met her in some christian club in uni, would i be like “she is so annoying and her theology is wack sit down shut up about [insert controversial christian topic] have you ever considered a perspective outside your own? (still niceys to her and finding common ground but oh my gosh i could not be alone in a room with this girl” or would i be like “yeah, she’s wrong about a couple things, but I Can Fix Her, and her heart’s in the right place (oh shit i have a crush on her). she’s flawed but aren’t we all, i wanna organise to do a subject with her next sem”?

i don’t know, and that’s the beautiful thing about her being my blorbo of the season

#do i still need to tag grace favourable with run achilles?#like no jagertit still but i think i saw that changed??#anyway. obsessed with the implications.#would she set off my homophobic radar or my gaydar. that is the important question.#(note: she’d still be both. BUT WHICH WOULD SHE SET OFF)#like i’m obsessed with her character. but would i be obsessed with her?#also: either way i would find her hot. you don’t need to know that. but it’s true.#would she debate me on predestination. would i be able to get through a chat with her without needing to talk to my baptist/uniting friends #(*note: in my state of aus i have no doubt grace would be an anglican i know it in my bones)#WOULD SHE BELIEVE IN THE PERPETUAL VIRGINITY OF MARY #i’m not maintagging. and you can probably guess why.

Sea Cryptic! Danny AU- Pt.6

[Pt.1] [Pt.2] [Pt.3] [Pt.4] [Pt.5] [Pt.7]

Danny slumped over the table at the library. He’d feel embarrassed about it if it weren’t for the rest of the floor’s occupants. Around him, students were speed running through the five stages of grief like it was going out of style.

“Fuuuuuuuuuuck.”

“Same.” Danny replied, rolling his head to look at Tim. “I’m feeling like an academic victim instead of an academic weapon right now.”

“I should have stayed dropped out of school,” Tim grumbled.

Danny gasped theatrically. “And deprive the world of your awe-inspiring genius on…” Danny peered at Tim’s books and grinned. “On… the Krebs cycle? Seriously? They’re teaching that again?”

“I know! This is like, the third time.” Tim whined.

“At least you’ll be good at it, right?”

Tim scoffed. “I’m gonna drop out of college and become a stripper.”

“They do make bank,” Danny nodded. “But aren’t you like a millionaire or something?”

Tim brightened. “Oh, you’re right. I don’t need education! I’m filthy rich!”

Danny whacked Tim on the back of the head, laughing quietly.

“Whatever. Let’s go take a break. Snacks?”

“I literally don’t know how you eat so much.”

“Snacks have a separate stomach pouch. Normal food goes one place, junk food and desserts in another.” Danny retorted, quickly packing up his stuff. In reality, he didn’t need that much food. He’s half dead, after all. But food also converts to ectoplasm in his body, and ancients knows Danny needs all the energy he could get.

They made their way out of the campus library, passing stressed out looking students on their way to a taco truck.

“Does this even count as a snack?” Tim asked, amused. He tugged on his book bag, readjusting the vigilante pins on them.

“Is the sky even blue?” Danny snarked back, forking over the cash needed for the best fucking tacos on this side of Gotham. They sat on the benches, asking for an obscene amount of extra lime and cilantro before going to town.

“Holy shit, how many of those can you eat?”

“Dunno,” Danny mumbled though a mouthful or carne asada and pico de gallo. “Hungry.”

Tim snorted, pulling out his phone to scroll as he ate. A moment later, Tim showed Danny his screen.

“Hey, you live near here, right?”

Danny, cheeks bulging with food, peered at Tim’s phone and nodded.

“Oh, cool! Have you seen the green guy around?”

Danny squinted at Tim, tilting his head as he chewed.

“You know, the glowing green guy that’s been blowing up the Gotham Bay tag.”

Oh. Tim was talking about him, Danny!

Danny nodded. He quickly ate his food and wiped his mouth before replying. “Yeah, why?”

“Does he seriously just clean up the bay? Nothing else?”

Mildly offended for some reason, Danny shrugged. “I mean yeah? He doesn’t seem to pop up near any of the shady spots- oh, I saw him save someone from a mugging in front of my apartment once! But like, I think all he does is clean the bay. Which is good, because holy heck, that place is nastyyy.”

“Seriously?” Tim leaned in, looking super interested. “So he’s friendly?”

Danny raised a brow. “Yeah, he seemed pretty nice, I guess. Though, that’s not saying much considering your Rogues tend to be pretty chill when they’re not in the middle of a scheme.”

Tim snorted. “True that. You talked to him? When? Outside of his bay cleanings, right? I’ve noticed that he only talks to the Bats during those.”

Danny stared at Tim. “Tim… are you… stalking the guy?”

What Danny really wanted to say was: “Tim, are you stalking me?”

“I’m not stalking him!” At Danny’s suspicious glare, belied by his sauce stained mouth, Tim sighed. “Okay, maybe I am. But only some minor stalking!”

“Uh-huh.”

“But if you have, you think you could introduce us? Maybe he’d want to be friends?”

Was Tim asking Danny to introduce him to… Danny himself?

“Uh. Why do you even want to meet him?”

“Danny, he’s a glowing green guy that does community service for funsies. And he knows the Bats. That’s cool.”

“And here I thought you wouldn’t know cool if it smacked you in the face.” Danny teased. Well, whatever. He might as well do something nice for Tim. “Sure. I’ll text you when he pops up and see if he’s okay with meeting you.”

Tim grinned at him, a piece of cilantro stuck in his teeth. “Thanks!”

——

Danny made a duplicate of himself and went ghost. Danny and his duplicate looked at each other and sighed.

“We’ve done stupider things.”

“But we’re still not telling Jazz.”

“Agreed.”

Danny paused. Did he just make a deal with himself? No, he’s busy.

Doppelgänger Danny went invisible and left the apartment by going through a wall. Danny followed in a sedate pace, the normal way.

Outside, he pretended to catch sight of a suddenly visible Phantom. He’d heard the heartbeats outside his apartment ever since he got home all those days ago, and he’s pretty sure the vigilantes were watching his place ever since. Luckily, he made sure there weren’t any bugs or hidden cameras- Sam beat cautiousness into his head a while ago- before starting the plan.

One of those heartbeats sounded like Tim’s which left some… interesting connotations.

Danny sighed. Who was he kidding? Of course he’d be friends with a vigilante.

“Hey, Phantom!” Danny shouted, waving. Phantom floated over.

“Danny. Hi. Did you need something?”

“Oh, not really. My friend wanted to meet you, he’s a huuuuge fan. Think you’ve got time today?” Danny held up his phone.

Phantom hummed. “I can stay for a bit. Thirty minutes.”

“Okay, I’ll call him. His name is Tim, by the way. Thanks for taking the time to meet him!”

“No problem.”

Danny texted Tim, and minutely frowned as he picked up the sound of Tim’s ringtone. Shit, that pretty much confirmed his suspicions. He got a text back from Tim.

Timsy

Danny huffed an amused breath. “He’ll be here in five minutes.”

“Alright.”

Danny texted back an okay.

Five minutes later, a flushed and disheveled Tim peeled onto the street and right to the curb.

“Here!” He said as he tumbled out of the car.

“Damn, bro. You good?”

“Fine- oh my god, you’re the green guy!” Danny had to hand it to Tim. If he didn’t already figure out he was Red Robin, Danny would’ve believed the act. Holy shit, wait, he called his friend broke. Hah!

“It’s Phantom. Nice to meet you, Tom.”

A quick sliver of sullenness flashed over Tim’s face. “It- it’s Tim.”

“Oh, right. Sorry, human names sound so similar.” Danny leaned back and hid a grin as his doppelgänger messed with his friend.

“Oh, wow, you’re not human? What are you then?”

“Oh my god, Tim, you can’t just ask him what he is!” Danny scolded. These vigilantes were really similar.

“Sorry…” Tim apologized.

“It’s fine. To answer your question, I’m dead. Ghost.”

“Do you really pay taxes?”

Phantom tilted his head. “Yes, of course.” By the, Danny meant that he paid both human taxes and oversaw the Zone’s taxes. “You know that saying, something about never escaping from two things and that’s taxes and death? You can escape death- might come back a little wrong- but taxes are in the afterlife too.”

“Come back a little wrong?” Tim asked, eyes suddenly sharp.

“Come back a little,” Phantom gestured to himself. “Green. More emotive and prone to irritation.”

Tim stared.

“Jason, are you a ghost?” Dick, crouched on the top of Danny’s apartment building whispered.

Red Hood, crouched in the same area, stayed silent.

——

“How did you die?”

Phantom snarled and disappeared.

Tim whirled around, looking bewildered. Behind him, Danny struggled to stay calm.

“Where’d he go?”

“He probably didn’t want to hurt you.” Danny sighed.

“What? What did I do?”

“You asked him how he died. That’s like, the ultimate social taboo.”

“I didn’t know that!”

“It’s common sense, dude. Trauma like that has to be shared instead of asked about. Generally.” Danny sighed. “Come on, let’s get off the street and I’ll give you a crash course in manners.”

——

Bruce, upon hearing about the conversation, dove headfirst into researching the after life.

“No, go suck a goat’s genitals, Batsy, I am not helping you adopt a being of the infinite realms!” Constantine hung up on him.

“Hn.” Bruce will adopt the child and give him a home. It’s only a matter of when… and what inter-dimensional loopholes he could find and use in the relevant laws.

Jason was right behind him, because he was going to get answers, dammit.
