librarians redesigned!!! by me!!! :)

the designs are free to use, i used this as a character design exercise for myself while recovering from carpal tunnel issues! read more for all the individual designs + me ranting :*

first off roland!! i included an angelica in here, i designed her before him, shes very triangular to me.. maybe a bit more messed up than roland tells us about, he is a biased narrator afterall. anyways i wanted his design to match hers nicely, so hes like a rounded square type of guy... i think projmoon designed him to be Just A Guy intentionally, so i played into it. overall the least interesting design of the bunch imo. its on purpose :)

angela !!! my baby :) an important thing here is her bangs. i dont want her hair to be able to recover from however many years she spent with the hard middle part in lobcorp, i think its cute to incorporate it still. swoopy, fluffy hair for her! and the clothes are just a bit more casual idk the librarian uniforms were kinda boring and stiff to me, as much as it does go with her character.. if u wanna be human u gotta experience the joy of sweatpants or whatever. also i didnt add color but i dont want her to be fully white<3 or fully clear skinned.. give her sunspots on her face. she finally gets to experience sun. :)

guess ill go in order of appearance lol. malkuth! whats the headband for if it doesnt keep anything out of her face!! since shes a bit more active than some of her colleagues, i also gave her a ponytail(its also for the silhouette...) also gave her some chubbier thighs.. also maybe a butler-esque coat, at least to me; i just made it a bit more form fitting than the original. playing into her personality or whatever. shes cute.. remember to take deep breaths!!

yesod!! i want to play into the skin issues a bit more, i still removed his gloves but i gave him a poncho, not just for the square silhouette im trying to build but for more coverage. also emo hair over eyes was funny. also wide flare pants for you, boy. just very square and put together in general

hod! this ones my favorite (i even cared enough to give her a pattern on that skirt!!) it was kinda bugging me how in the artbook i couldnt tell who was writing because hod's, malkuth's, and tiphereth's colors are so similar. so hod is pink now, and malkuth a bit more orange. i kinda went for a romantic poet thing here, dunno how much that worked out, but i think out of everyone you can tell shes the literature girl. gave her pigtails !! theyre cute :> also since i removed the coat decoration off of angela, i gave part of it to hod in the bottom of her coat :). cute and round!

netzach is a very strange man to me.. ellipse shape and loose fitting clothes for u. if i saw him irl i wouldnt approach him. not to say i dont like him as a character, i love him, but i want him to look like a depressed guy who would pick up art as a hobby to distract himself and it works. bro is just surviving out there. also gave him comfy clothes to make the surviving easier, down to the shoes and wide, id assume non-denim pants - maybe cotton? maybe sweatpants that dont fit around the ankle? who knows.

tiphereth!! since she's like the teen girl of the group i gave her a skater dress, converse, and a tied coat around her waist.. like how i used to wear as a teen when i was being a hater and recovering from a death in the family that changed my entire life (im still a teen ... 9 more days till im 20 as of posting this). also gave her fishnets i think she would like that. i imagine she would get headaches bc of those dumb braids on her head<3 or maybe bc her coworkers are kinda dumb<3

gebura :) round face, reverse triangle shaped body.. like a true butch lesbian stereotype.. i decided a leather jacket, docs and pants i see metalheads wear would fit her! red leather jacket, of course. also gave her spiky hair just like projmoon did<3 my favorite detail here are the eyebrows, i think their shape is rlly neat! nvm i think its just that gebura is rlly neat. anyways the eyebrows fit her

chesed my boy.. idk i just saw him and hit him with the transmasc beam and gave him , as the kids say, wh0re eyes. i wanted him to have rounder hips and just be round in general. turtleneck and cardigan combo also, i think he would like wearing that. also somewhat curlier hair, or at least wavy would do him well! and a tote bag, i dont doubt that he would go out to read in coffee shops if he could - so he gets a tote bag to carry his sociology books. i want him to look like he would give the warmest, comfiest hugs and be friend shaped

binah!! this one was the most challenging, trying to find the right place for the colors - to not use too little or too much yellow. i still dont think i got it right but this is as close as im getting. long face, long nose, siren-ish eyes.. messed up in the head bird lady that speaks like hannibal! i also dont think a dress really suits her so i opted for wide pants and a fancy black button up .. maybe angela styled her, who knows. also black fingertips which is a trait i like to give the arbiters (including an oc).. just my own little consistency thing i like to do :)

hi grandpa! ok for hokma i dont think the changes are that big? i gave him O shaped legs and his sword thing i turned into a walking cane, gave him a vest (didnt want to opt for a corset but i think he would enjoy the back support for proper posture) . also gave him a mild gradient from darker gray to lighter gray, since he IS the gray part of the ABC trio. gave him salt and pepper hair and an older face. forgot to draw it, but i wanted to give him a silicone tip for the sword so it doesnt dull out, which he can take off when recieving guests

honorary mention to go along with the angelica i mentioned with roland, i mildly changed up her twin(k) brother. i gave argalia and angie the same hair but mirrored, his a bit more curly and hers a bit more spikey, his face a bit more edgy, hers a bit rounder and kinder. not much else to say here, i liked his design as is, but wanted to add him here :)

#library of ruina #project moon #art i made #big project done wooo ! :) im proud of myself for setting a goal and sticking to it. are you proud of me. tell me youre proud of me

also being a julien girl and being pretty girly i loveeeeeeee the idea of julien w feminine artist!gf ☺️☺️ i think a hc would be super cute talking abt clothes/makeup/hair/body language/music and overall adoration julien and her girly!gf have for each other:)))

where’s my cig i need a gf badly 😔🚬

as a fellow julien and feminine artsy girl, i had waaay too much fun brainstorming for this idea. i will say though that i didn’t really touch on the body language/music part just cause i don’t think being more feminine or masculine can truly determine those things so i didn’t know what to write for those. but here’s some headcanons i stirred up (: RPF UNDER THE CUT

jb x feminine artist!gf hcs

okay so we know that one of the many forms of art artist!gf partakes in is makeup. and i said it when i was responding to an ask, but i’ll reiterate that artist!gf puts in just as much patience and effort into her makeup as she does when she picks up a literal painting canvas

and julien doesn’t really have a lot of experience in the visual arts other than drawing, which she does do sporadically. but she does lack experience in the cosmetic department, not that it interests her a lot.

but she absolutely loves how you take your time doing your makeup. especially when you two are going out because all she needs is ten minutes MAXIMUM to get ready and then she gets to sit down on the toilet seat in your shared bathroom where you’re doing your makeup and just watch you in admiration

but she does hate when you try and leave her by herself to start getting ready HOURS before you guys even have to leave

“where’re you goin’, baby?” she asks when you get up from your spot on the couch next to her

“i’ve gotta get ready.” you reply, giggling at julien because she uses a frown and her big brown (👶🐮) eyes as an offering in hopes that you’ll stay with her a little longer

“we got a couple hours,” and now she’s scooting on the couch to reach where you’re standing before she gently grabs your hand, rubbing and kissing your knuckles, “you can give me just a couple more minutes. .?”

she inevitably ends up winning you over, and when you do leave to get ready, she just follows you

and on the days where she’s tired and she feels like staying at home and having a lazy day but you two made plans with friends prior to that day and it’s too late to back out, she’s extra clingy. once she quickly finishes getting ready, she’s walking into your shared bathroom, lazily wrapping her arms around your waist and resting her head on your back while you’re literally in the middle of doing your makeup. so now you’re incredibly stiff because you’re unable to lean forward to look into the mirror but you put up with it for her.

doing your hair is a whole other story. it can either take you thirty minutes or an hour depending on the day and what you decide to do with it (curl it, straighten it, etc)

but julien actually loves the anticipation of how you’ll wear your hair when you go out (bonus: especially if your hair’s naturally curly and you decided to wear it natural, she’s like ☹️☹️☹️, and if she’s seen baby photos of you with your natural hair, she probably just wants to tackle you lovingly and kiss all over your face)

but she just whole-heartedly loves your hair and it doesn’t matter what hair-type you have. like if your hair’s straight? she loves how it’s so soft and easy for her fingers to glide through. if your hair’s curly? she loves getting to play with the springy curls. and if it were anyone else, you’d scorn them for making your curls lose definition. but when it’s her? your perspective completely changes.

another thing is that she always has your banana clips and scrunchies in her car. so if you last minute decide that you wanna put your hair up, all you gotta do is open the glove compartment and there’s a variety for you to choose from

she’d also keep one of your scrunchies around her wrist when you guys go out in case you wore your hair down and changed your mind throughout the night. or maybe you didn’t wanna use it at that exact moment but you didn’t want the scrunchie on your wrist to ruin your outfit so she’ll wear it for you (lucy and phoebe always snap the scrunchie on her wrist to tease her)

speaking of outfits, you and julien’s fashion styles are completely different

julien’s day-to-day style consists of graphic-tees, plain colored t-shirts, skinny jeans or dickies, and a pair of converse or really any tennis shoes. your day-to-day style consists of babydoll crop tops/tees, washed low-rise jeans, and a pair of sambas.

but i think that occasionally you’d both incorporate the other’s style into your own. like when julien wore that sparkly mesh black crop top when she sung phoebe’s verse in silk chiffon, that was definitely yours. and there’ve been days where you spot a graphic tee in julien’s closet that you know you’re capable of styling in a way that’s suiting to you. and when julien sees you wearing her clothes, she 100% teases you about where you got them from knowing damn well she’s fuzzy on the inside just seeing you wear her things

random (but non-random) bonus: seeing as though she’s always with you when you’re getting ready, she’s picked up on a lot of makeup terminology and what most products do. so when you told her that setting spray makes your makeup last through EVERYTHING, she’ll leave it to herself to be the tester of that. cause is it really 100 wet kisses-proof?

hi!!! you don’t need to answer this one, but i wanted to ask what the turtles’ respective themes/individual presenting styles would be? like clothing or whatnot

(for more doodles)

oH MAN IDK UHHHH. i wrote this and this about it a while back but i can extrapolate on their clothing choices!

Donnie: long sleeves, thick gloves, long pants, anything that covers his skin but isn't too itchy/tight/a weird texture. he doesn't like his bare arms being out in the open, partially to hide his scars and partially just because it feels weird and he likes the weight on them. i've drawn him in sweaters multiple times, and he wears a lot of big jackets when they're all older. baggy clothing = good to him.

Leo: he's more into feminine stuff and form fitting clothing. Like, layering and FASHION and shit. at first because she'd never been allowed to try them before, but as time went on they just became a small part of a bigger wardrobe. he loves to accessorize, enjoys wearing soft colors in general but will really wear anything so long as she thinks she looks good in it.

Mikey: just as likely to wear clothing as to not. He has a ton of graphic tee's, obnoxiously patterned button ups (that are always open) overalls, coveralls, handkerchiefs & masks, and board shorts. i can see him wearing sandals even though he doesn't have to. nearly everything he owns has some kind of stain on it, even if its just a small one (paint, blood, donnie's Science Experiments, ink, charcoal, food, literally whatever)

Raph: doesn't wear clothing unless for a practical purpose (like lab safety, or armor or something). He will treasure and wear clothing he's been gifted though, but that's mostly just Casey's oversized shirts & hoodies. He doesn't really have a sense of style of style beyond "make it red" but will on very rare occasions wear a dress if, for example, he's gotta go somewhere fancy. he finds dresses with pockets more practical for fighting than suits. dresses can also have open backs, which reduces the amount of tearing his shell spikes do to the fabric.

alright guys. i have more miraculous-ish content. 3rd pic is felix, marinette, kagami, and nathaniel from left to right. I haven't done a nino yet, but he'll be there when I post a finalized version I swear. Also, either Juleka or Rose, though I havent decided on which.

SO. bit of context before i yap under a cut. this is a co-op work (and potential series of fics) with @frickifiknow and so I only have half of the cast to design; hence no adrien, alya, or chloe in my lineup. they will be yapped about, and perhaps drawn by me, but maybe dont hold your breath. ALso, this is a rewrite, inspired more by the fandom than the actual show (though I am passively re-watching it currently, so we'll see) and will kindof sortof overhaul the entire premise. but that all goes under a cut, so i will see you all there.

alright SO. hi folks. miss me? Miss my rambles? no? your loss, because my yapping is immaculate.

Starting with the world!

There are 12 kwami in total- i love the Chinese zodiac for the show, but I personally don't want that many characters to be active. This will feature a main cast of my personal favorite characters from when I watched this show, and not much else because this is for personal pleasure, not objective quality. Each kwami has a pair, which corresponds to a unifying concept. These arent wholly ironed out yet, but they go: existence, defense, time, devotion, guidance, and experience. more about them and their kwamis to come.

this runs on a multiverse that the kwami of broken worlds can and do break. the idea is that after hawkmoth, the miraculous holders face the breaking of whatever has held the "antikwami" at bay this long, and have to gain higher power to defeat themselves and protect their world, thus allowing us to move on from gabriel agreste as a villain long before season five. The antikwami can only exist in this timeline separate from their counterparts because they are currently fulfilling a separate role; they would (and have) sort of merge into the kwami of this world if "redeemed". The kwami chose to be bound to the miraculous and to human holders in ancient times, as doing so managed to weaken their antitheses as they entered this timeline due to the natural balancing of, like, natural law. what is must be undone, or whatever. The antikwami tend to also pick "holders" of a sort, but it's... a worse process, overall. They cloud one's judgement, enhance all their worst traits, the works. more to come on them, i haven't ironed out all the cracks just yet.

All of my designs hinge on being relatively young versions of the characters, as you tend to get more power as you get older, and as you gain experience with the miraculous. Early on, any animal parts will be stuck onto clothing, with ear and horn details coming from masks and tails being attached to belts and capes. later, more high-powered designs will look grander and feature more naturalistic inclusions from the animal (including functional wings for ladybug, possibly) as the holders grow closer to their kwami.

It's 2am, I have school in the morning, and I gotta go. Thanks for reading, or not, reblogs > likes, like and subscribe or something, gn

(Hetalia Main 8 x Reader) What they look for in a partner!

(Gender Neutral) Headcanons ~ A/N realized that if i want traffic on this account instead of the other i gotta start answering over here. anyway FUN REQUEST!!!! yippee!!!

Trigger Warning: None. Fluff, except for when I might say that your fav prefers someone not like you. But don't worry they still prefer you actually, they told me themselves.

Alfred is really not that romantically inclined, so the most important thing in a S/O for him is just… being chill and fun.

He’d like a partner that finds his random whims as fun as he does. Someone who would love to go on impromptu road trips and jump in the ocean with all your clothes on!

He really wouldn’t get along well with a S/O that tries to tone him down or constantly tell him no. Being able to reel him in a little bit would be good, but everyone else is always limiting him, he wouldn’t want you to be one of those people.

Another thing he’d absolutely adore is a partner that’s very unique! He doesn’t like being bored, so if you’re weird he’d love it!

Someone who is willing to engage with his interests!!! He will do the same for you happily!!! Go to plane museums and watch silly superhero movies!!!

Overall, Alfred doesn’t really have a type as much as a general vibe he likes in a partner. Someone whose weird, kind, and fun!

Arthur, unlike Alfred, is very romantically inclined! He would want a S/O that he can have a classic fairytale romance with.

Someone who is patient but also stubborn like him would be ideal. He can get a bit frustrating to deal with, so his S/O has to be… un-steam rollable? His S/O has to be willing to stand their ground and think clearly.

He’d love someone who's quite sarcastic and snarky. His partner should be capable of making fun of others in private without crossing the line into actually being mean.

He loves big romantic gestures! Anyone who is comfortable receiving those as well as doing them for him <3

Anyone who isn’t too sensitive. He’d prefer if the two of you can just tell each other what you want & need bluntly. He tries not to be super blunt, but that often ends up with just more confusion.

Someone who prefers quality time over quantity of time. He tries to be perfect for you, but that can get pretty tiring. If you’re independent, all the better. Don’t worry though, you’ll always be perfect to him, no effort required <3

Yao has had hundreds of partners, but never for very long. What he really wants is a S/O that isn’t a lot of pressure to be around.

He’d prefer a partner that’s willing to fulfill more of a… stay at home role. He’s very traditional and he finds the outside world stressful enough, he just wants a S/O that can always be calm and consistent.

He’d love a S/O that has older sensibilities like him, but he’d still see the value in a younger partner too. He can deal with being confused all the time, but he’d prefer not to.

Anyone who doesn’t require a lot from him, since he doesn’t want a lot from his partner either. He’s very domestic, and wants to see his partner as a relief from everyone else.

Someone who’s hardworking and honest! He wants to share values with his S/O, and being able to put in the effort while still being humble is a good indicator of that. He finds most upper-class people to be stuck up, so he would prefer a partner unlike those people.

Francis really does not have any specific type. Trying to find any overarching theme with his past partners is impossible- all he wants is someone interesting!

He’d really love someone he can hold an intelligent conversation with. He may seem dense, but he loves discussing art and literature. A S/O who loves to do that would be perfect!

He’d prefer a partner that loves doing exciting things! Whether that be creating a massive painting with him, visiting China on a whim, opening a restaurant together, or else, he just wants to have lots of incredible experiences with you.

Someone who doesn’t tease or question him when he’s vulnerable. Being completely honest is hard for him, so a comforting S/O is exactly what he needs.

He’d like for his partner to not rely on him too much. Being independent but still close is his ideal relationship!

Anyone who has tons of interests! He loves sharing his own life and fascinations with you, so he’d like you to do the same. He finds your unique perspective on everything to be incredibly interesting.

Ivan only really values one thing in a partner. Loyalty! The most important thing in a S/O for him is just being able to trust that they’ll stay.

He’d love a partner that is just incredibly kind! If his S/O was overly snarky, rude, or otherwise, he’d worry that they’d turn on him one day.

Anyone who doesn’t pressure him to change too much. He wants to get better for you, but knowing you’re upset with him makes it worse. He’s very set in his ways.

Someone who doesn’t require a lot from him, romantic-wise. He’d prefer to go on a drive around St. Petersburg or sit in front of the fire reading, rather than go to a fancy restaurant or travel.

But other than that, he’d prefer someone very different. Be that because they’re loud, super chill, hyper, deathly quiet, or otherwise. He finds the company of someone most don’t like to be most comforting. Society doesn’t like him either, you’re meant to be together!

Someone who can get along with his sisters-

Most importantly, someone who likes him just the way he is! He really just wants a partner that’ll stay, won’t make fun of him, and won’t be scared by him.

Feliciano is also a simple man, he doesn’t care what his S/O is like as long as they truly love him for him. Cowardice, awkwardness, and clumsiness and all.

He’s a very traditionally romantic guy, so a S/O that can appreciate those things would be perfect!

He’d prefer someone he doesn’t have to have a lot of conflict with. Someone who’s easy-going like him! Fighting makes him cry and he really doesn’t know how to resolve conflict…

Someone who loves his country!!! He’s very proud of it and wants to show you every little part, along with 6-hour backstories accompanying it-

He’d love a S/O that’s strong unlike him. Someone who’s tough (emotionally or physically) while still being kind would literally be like a dream to him. He finds the most beauty in people that he knows he could never be like.

Anyone that isn’t overly sarcastic and blunt. He can find it funny sometimes, but often it ends up making him insecure. He’d prefer a partner that loves fully and unironically!

He doesn’t really care about anything other than that. All he wants is a non-complicated, loving relationship!

Ludwig doesn’t have anything specific he looks for, but he would love a S/O whose responsible like him while still being more easy-going.

Anyone who is consistent, always willing to just listen to him talk through his problems.

His partner would have to get along with his friends. That’s something that’s very important to him. He’d love if you guys were all friends, but if you’re only able to be passively friendly that’d be fine too.

Someone who doesn’t put all the pressure on him like everyone else does! He’d prefer if he doesn’t have to take care of or stress out about you, at least not for an extended period of time.

He’d love a partner that doesn’t try to change him. He admits that he can stand to loosen up and improve in a lot of areas, but pressuring him to do so makes it worse! You can trust that’ll try to get better on his own time, don’t worry.

Anyone who can tease him without hurting his feelings! In private, he’s rather jovial so I imagine you two would have a pretty light-hearted, funny repertoire. Just as long as it doesn’t get too serious.

Kiku, unsurprisingly, has relatively high standards for how his S/O is. He’s a very particular person, and he would like his S/O to meet those particulars. But of course, he’s still willing to make exceptions <3

At first, he’d find a S/O that’s more blunt and clear quite stressful, but he quickly realizes that it’s a great trait! Someone has to be able to speak up for the two of you.

He’d love a partner that he can sit in silence with. Him, reading manga or writing, while you play video games or whatever you want to be doing. He prefers just being in your presence over constantly having to engage with each other.

He doesn’t care much for a super independent S/O, but he wouldn’t mind it. He’d prefer that you two are like two halves of a whole. Your attachment is easy, no stress. Kiku would love to just do everything together, regardless of whether or not you’re talking during.

Someone who doesn’t judge him for his interests or his … nonchalant reactions to things. He gets embarrassed easily, so sometimes even teasing is overwhelming. He wouldn’t ever question you, so he’d appreciate the same.

Hi I’m a big fan of your blog , I love how you draw the characters! I was wondering how do you draw human and turtles ?

I wanna get better drawing them but I always struggle when it comes to the bodies ? Do you have any tips or tutorial? if not no worries! Hope you’re doing ok ! ⭐️anon

bodies are HARD to draw man i feel you.

[as much help as i can offer under the cut]

I always tell people this but when you're doing arms, draw a circle where the wrist and the shoulder/armpit are and connect them with a line. After that, create a second line from the MIDDLE of the 1st line thats about half the length of the original line. That is where u put the elbow.

Then I draw the arm / hand in the sketch!! I ALWAYS draw the entire palm of the hand even if its hidden behind an item. It will help you track where to put the thumb.

This trick also works with the legs!! It helps you know where to put knees.

(Also keep in mind that if the angle of the piece is different, the length of the 2nd line will ALSO be different. Try to do what looks right)

And assuming ur gonna be drawing clothes LOL i would actually focus LESS on drawing the actual body (like the muscles / different body sections i mean?) and focus more on shape language of clothes!

When I wanna describe someone being lax, I tend to draw them leaning the top of their body backwards like I did here with donnie. When ur drawing clothes, i high reccomend oversimplify the shit out of wrinkles with CURVES and LINES

Curves (1) are SIMPLE arches in the overall shape. Do not do 2 arches in the same curve, it WILL fuck you up. Just do 1 arch for now until you get comfortable experimenting.

Lines (2) are straight lines in (usually) the same direction. I always try to make the lines point to the ground because of gravity :)

my last advice is to USE REFERENCES for poses.

You dont gotta trace or use the EXACT pose, but finding poses to sketch out and then work with on your own Will help you in getting more comfortable free styling body positions.

I highly recommend browsing pinterest bc i find a Lot of poses there I use all the time (and if ur looking for something fun and dynamic, I would look up 'spiderman drawing poses' !)

i hope any of this helped!! <:)

Can I rq m, p, and q smut alphabet for kuko, samatoki and whoever else you’re feeling!! :3 ty for all your hard work as always! <3

hihi! i just went ahead did those two~ enjoy!

Smut Alphabet [M, P, Q]

Samatoki, Kuko x gn!reader

-smut

samatoki aohitsugi

motivation [what gets them riled up?]

pace [are they more rough or soft? fast or slow?]

-samatoki's def more of a rough guy overall. i don't think there's many situations where he'd be slow and soft with you unless you specifically asked for that. speed wise though, he enjoys slow, hard thrusts or fast, rough thrusts. whichever you prefer more!

quickie [do they enjoy quickies? how often?]

-depends on the situation. if it's somewhere in public, he's iffy about it, having to take into account the possibility of someone seeing you both. in his office though, he's totally down for a quickie or even having you cockwarm him, he doesn't give a shit since it's technically his 'area'.

kuko harai

motivation [what gets them riled up?]

-lots of things gets kuko riled up. teasing him gets him going, making him want to tease you even more. wearing revealing clothing also messes with his brain causing him to stare a little more than he should.. quite honestly, just bluntly telling him what you want him to do to you makes him horny because now you've got him thinking about it too.

pace [are they more rough or soft? fast or slow?]

-depends on what you like. he prefers rough sex but if you want him to just be slow and soft with you one day, he respects your wishes. after all, he's gotta make sure you're satisfied too!

quickie [do they enjoy quickies? how often?]

-meh.. kuko isn't too keen on quickies. just because he likes rough, slightly wild sex doesn't mean he doesn't want it to be intimate. quickies aren't what he wants your sexual experiences to be with him, he wants to make the experiences enjoyable and intimate even if he is a little wild.

All righty I’ve finished science brofist’s route and that means more rambling! (Seriously though everyone sees his name as that right?? How the hell else am I supposed to pronounce Scien Brofiise??? It sure as hell ain’t how they say it in Japanese! 😂) spoilers under the cut as usual

Hmm… overall while I liked it, I think I’ve been so thoroughly emotionally and mentally broken by Mathis and Lucas that Scien’s route seemed pretty… tame in comparison LOLOL 💀 or maybe I’m still on residual WTFs from Lucas and should’ve waited another day to let it settle oops

The pain meter from these first three to me is Lucas > Mathis > Scien

The ending was definitely still a big oof and a little yikes though 😬. But with how dubious the “science” is in this game, part of me was wondering why Scien couldn’t just make a clone from Ceres’s body and then stick the memories he had into her after? Like people save memory backups of themselves prior to dying so why couldn’t he have saved her memories on whatever constitutes a USB stick in this world lmao

The science in this game in general honestly I just… can’t think about too deeply or it all falls apart LOL, being in like the medieval ages where you still gotta hand wash clothes but then suddenly having shit like electric cars, headset phones, touch-holograms, and perfect cloning with memories but not emotions is such whiplash 😂

The final CG was super pretty though, oof the expression on his face, my poor babygirl 😩 but… why are all the kiss CGs… not super great LOL, is the artist bad at drawing kisses? Because so far they’ve all looked a little uhhhh in each route? 😬😂

I very much appreciate the fact though that Scien’s best CGs are hands down the ones where he’s posing like a lil slut lmaooo, the jigsaw puzzle one?? Bitch he’s practically twirling his hair!! 😂

And his interactions with Ceres were very cute, especially the whole sandwich thing! But when she was like yay I’m so happy I’ve been promoted from maid to a sandwich dispenser! I was like girl… are you okay…?? Well clearly not but still 😂 like dang, never been happier getting told by a man to make me a sandwich lmaooo

Anyways! Back to the route in general - the whole thing of him being an oh no evil science man was so… meh to me? Maybe because I work in the sciences so I have a different view but like, I was perfectly fine with him experimenting on criminals? That’s pretty much what clinical trials are in the real world?? Of course you need to test shit on a few people before giving stuff out to the the general populace??? Why are people upset at this????

It was nice learning a bit more about Salome (though tbh I thought her backstory and relationship to scien would be… more significant LOL). And kinda weird that they left her mumbling when they were in hiding as “…” instead of maybe just quickly forcing the text to go through, because my limited amount of Japanese from anime let me understand the gist of what she was saying and oh. Gives a bit of a different vibe knowing what she said vs it having to be explained

Also, my face when they just decapitated Adolphe but then Ceres TOOK HIS HEAD WITH HER? HONEY NO, GIRL PUT IT BACK HE’S DRIPPING

FUCK THE ROYAL FAMILY, ALL MY HOMIES HATE THE ROYAL FAMILY 🔫🔫 The reservoirs or repertoires or whatever the hell they’re called can eat my ass and die 😂

The way I hollered when Lucas went in and shanked their asses, MY MAN!! … every other time he showed up though was a big aw shit Lucas we’re not in your route anymore go away please!! You’re causing the despair end nooo!!! 😂 very conflicting emotions when I see him now lmao

Same with when I see Jean… like you’re still so pretty and I love you but uhhh, hey Mathis maybe come over this way instead 😬

Side note, kinda sad we didn’t get to see Ankou in the second half of the route…

And finally - I love you Dahut, I was so worried you’d be evil but oh, thank god we have someone that’s just like a good friendly person (I think), you are so pure I love you please show up in every route to ease my fears (Hugo doesn’t count because I’ve still got my eye on him LOL)

Aight I think that’s it! In summary, Scien is this meme:

Literally just look at him

I wish I looked this sexy doing a jigsaw puzzle 😂

OHOHOHO I HAVE RETURNED

Downton Abbey new era spoilers?

Anyways:

-i can't wait until the movie comes out on streaming services because I want gifsets of Branson in that gay little swimming suit

-denker's sobbing legit taking everyone's attention off of violet fucking DYING was unnecessarily funny

-seeing all the servants in the fancy clothes enjoying themselves on the film set was fantastic, they looked so happy. Jesus the horrible horrible wig they gave Thomas though, unfair, bad.

-Molesley proposing? 😩 Crying wailing hitting the ground. I think he wins the whole movie though. He's marrying the woman of his dreams and gets to live out his new talent while being payed handsomely

-cora's illness, what was the point? Had no effect other than we got to see Hugh's face actually show emotion

-bisexual daisy is a plotline that could've been explored. C'mon, she was starstruck with the actress and bisexual is a good look on her

-branson was kinda a chump but his wife was beautiful

-my mother mentioned that Mary and lady Grantham parallel each other, having had "scandalous" relationships in their past but ultimately being biting and respected.

-we CANNOT forget that Mary is awesome and cool and attractive and that people who know she's married fall for her regardless and her voice is SO AWESOME and yeah lol I don't hate her but cmon

-okay it's time for Thomas talk lol

I know that people were upset that they kinda booted Ellis by marrying him off, and that if Thomas can get swept by a movie star, they could've been together BUT we gotta remember that Ellis really isn't as out there as Thomas. Thomas does little to hide his identity other than to protect himself. The whole goddamn house knows hes gay. He follows a random handsome stranger he met in a bar to a gay club with little thought. He kisses a man AT NIGHT while he's SLEEPING cus he thought he was also gay; follows that same guy around a fair even though they're on bad terms. He melts at any perceived romantic touch, etc.

Ellis, on the other hand, is much much more careful. Spits vitriol at gay people in order to get Thomas out of prison, holds his identity very close to his heart, really only relenting when he gives Thomas the little thingy (I don't remember what it was sorry). It would make sense for him to marry a woman so as the KINGS VALET he could keep up identities.

So thus we start New Era with a clean slate, and characters reminding him left and right that it sucks™ to be gay. He's had experience after experience where being gay in England goes poorly, so when this handsome, rich, American actor goes "hey you're pretty want to be my boytoy, live in America (get out of England), and keep me company (😉)?" Of course he's gonna be like "hell yeah" and fuck me man good for him! He definitely had more chemistry with Ellis, but that was because they talked a lot more, about being gay especially. With Dexter it was much more implied, but still a great offer. So ultimately I am pleased with how Thomas's story turned out, though I would've loved some more screentime with him, more than just him going 😳 everytime guy Dexter talks to him.

Oh but what I wouldn't do to see a swimsuited Thomas Barrow lounging by a pool in California, goddamn.

There was also no Thomas smoking. So what, Cora gets a cancer scare but Thomas doesn't? What's up with that? /j

Anyways good movie. I liked the first one for it's rewatchability more, but overall they're both good and an extension of these silly British characters I adore so much.

wait i never wrote up my review of bloodborne but since i got the plat, here we go

bad first before good:

alright, idk if this is an unpopular opinion or my experience was an anomaly or whatever but... this game was too easy. i did an all boss run (minus the moon presence) for my first playthrough and none of them gave me trouble. don’t get me wrong, i died a bunch in this game, but i never felt the same level of “oh god” when fighting a boss that i do with other fromsoft games, which in turn meant i never really felt any kind of satisfaction when beating one.

i think that’s because of the health regen mechanic, which i have to say i’m really not a fan of. it got pretty r1 spammy at times, and i just kind of turned my brain off (relatively) and plowed through the game

so speaking of r1...

my god WHY is this game not on PC i’m gonna murder someone. i hate hate hate playing on controller. it’s so much more difficult and uncomfortable for me to hold a controller than it is for me to play on mouse+keyboard. i know that i can’t fault the game for this, but i’d be lying if i said it didn’t affect my enjoyment

some other general qol criticisms i have:

why did vial farming come back

can i please teleport directly to places without having to return to the nightmare

can i please reset the area without having to return to the nightmare

no slutty clothing (not actually a complaint, but hey i gotta mention it)

okay, onto the good of this game:

i liked the atmosphere, story, music, and the boss designs were cool. micolash is also a fucking S-tier fight for bc of how fucking hilarious it is. i was literally crying with laughter over chasing that little freak down. unironically a top 5 fromsoft fight for me purely bc of how memorable it is.

overall this was a good game, I'd say maybe an 8/10? i wish it were on PC and weren't so r1-spammy, but other than that I think this is a very solid game

#amelia plays bb #i think my most substantial complaint is that i didn't get to really appreciate bosses or areas #bc i could just plow through them without much thought #i do really wish they didn't have the health regen mechanic but oh well #still a really good game but i did feel a little let down in some ways #like 'oh that's it?'

Ask game - 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 11, 25

[a lot of questions, sorry xD but I love those, they're good ones]

4. Fav character/subject that's a bitch to draw

Kyo, I would love to draw religiously symbolism-esqe stuff with him and Elijah cuz he's The Bitch that really twists the story up in reverie but I gotta know who is outfitter is why so many belts? Why the tubes? the weird ass accents and cloak, uuuggghdhjghgh

5. Estimate of how much of your art you post online vs. the art you keep for yourself

Maybe more than 50 I keep to myself, most are doodles without context but I think maybe thats pushing it cuz I did do a worstie without context doodles

one day I'll make a post abt them and the aus I have with them (also general aus for shield hero I've made lol)

6. Anything that might inspire you subconsciously (i.e. this horse wasn't supposed to look like the Last Unicorn but I see it)

Hmmmmm off the top of my head I think Belos from TOH considering most of my characters are brunettes with their eyes leaning to blue, another one is just ben tennyson and his overall personality and body of being a twink with an ego who is also extremely self sacrificial altho it differs how much depending on the type of character I actually want and ofc their age

8. What's an old project idea that you've lost interest in

I had an old story called Terminal something something and the mc was a nonbinary kid who was secretly related to an ancient family of warriors that now has to fight the ancient evil that's abt to come back, but is the evil really so evil?

Think of Tales of Arcadia's Trollhunters, Randy cunningham 9th grade ninja and jack long

Say hello to Piper! there were also going to be a set of weapons that get collected over time that cast use but they didn't seem like weapons. For example Piper's was a mask that turned them to the Sun Warrior (able to use it bc of their family blood) and another example is a vase that controls wate! A mirror! A book that has people and things sealed within it able to release said thing and control it with a key! and a painting! theres more but I don't want to have this be too long

10. Favorite piece of clothing to draw

PUFFY SLEEVES AND SKIRTS/DRESSES

I love love drawing elaborate lavish dresses

these are old but still hold up well with what I like to give my characters if ever there's a ball :p

11. Do you listen to anything while drawing? If so, what

Alot of different things depends on the vibe sometimes I listen to classical music esp while animating or doing a piece that's "classical" yknow oooorr esp when it's abt my fave duo

The Worsties Playlist

or hannibal edits on youtube bc hannibal fans have such a way with music and the lines they put in there inspire my characters and art

25. Something your art has been compared to that you were NOT inspired by

hmmmm I think once I was told my style looks like early 2000s animes like full metal alchemist and ok the story and writing yes but the style I wouldn't say I got inspired by it esp considering my coloring being akin to stuff like cyberpunk and arcane lol

Chapter 2 of K-P-1-8

Chapter 2

(4:20pm)

"Ugh...the nerve of Bonnie!!" Kim muttered, folding her arms. "She is pushing me toward Anger Central!"

"Tell me about it!" Tara added, walking up to Kim's side. "I would rather drown in a vat of Middleton High Mystery Meat than be around her for even 15 minutes!" Tara and Bonnie have not been on speaking terms since their big fight prior to the Upperton football game last October. "I share your sympathy, Tara." Kim sighed, "But at least for the weekend, she'll be out of both of our hairs!" Ron came down from the stands.

"KP! Tara! You two were totally badical on the pyramid!!" he exclaimed.

Rufus also cheered as well, holding a Mad Dog pennant.

"Coming from the former Mad Dog himself and the guy who scored the winning touchdown in the CHSAA football champ game last year, I'm not surprised!" Kim grinned.

"Thanks, Ron, for cheering us on back there!" Tara added.

"Glad I can help!" Ron replied but then looked around.

"Where are the Pep Puppies, by the way?" Tara asked. "I didn't see them in practice."

"Tweebs were grounded by Dad for two weeks after they did an experiment on his car to see if it would fly." Kim replied. “Still...they're gonna be a part of the routine.”

"Let's just say that it did not work out very well..." Ron chimed in.

"At all!!" Kim muttered, "Thankfully, due to the green he makes at the Space Center, he got a brand new car! Much more Tweeb-resistant!"

"Who's up for some snackage at Bueno Nacho?" Ron asked, "Felix just texted me and said that he has a booth ready for us, plus Monique, Jamarcus, and Zita!"

"I'm up for it, Ron!" Kim grinned. "But I gotta change back into my normal clothes first. Gotta keep this uniform clean for the basketball game. "Totally count me in!! I'll go ahead and text Jason as well to meet us there!" Tara added, texting on her phone to her boyfriend, Jason Morgan.

______________________________________________________________________________ (4:30pm)

Kim and Tara were the first to emerge from the gym.

Kim was wearing her varsity cheer jacket over her long-sleeved shirt-baggy Club Banana denim overalls outfit. She accessorized the outfit with giant silver hoop earrings and blue sneakers. Although both straps of Kim's overalls were hooked, the right strap was off her shoulder and the bib partially folded.

Tara wore her denim jumpsuit with the top half down and a belt to hold up the bottom half. The sleeves were swaying from side to side. She was wearing a Club Banana croptop under her varsity cheer jacket. She had giant gold hoop earrings and brown boots.

“Wanna go in the Sloth?” Kim asked Tara.

“Sure thing!” the blonde cheerleader replied, “My car's been having ishes as of late.” “What's wrong with it?” Kim questioned.

“The battery type...” Tara muttered.

“Oh yeah, I know that sitch well.” Kim replied.

“You had battery issues with the Sloth?” Tara wondered. “I thought it was high tech!” “No...Tweebs used it for one of their rocket experiments.” Kim complained as she and Tara got in the Sloth. Tara got in the back seat and Kim got in the driver's seat.

“So...are we waiting for Ron?” Tara asked.

“Yeah, Tara. He should be entering in three....two...one...”

Right on cue, Ron entered the front passenger side of the Sloth with Rufus.

“You made it JIT, Ron!” Kim snickered.

“JIT?” Ron wondered.

“Just in time. It's the Monique-speak acronym of the day!” Kim chuckled as she started the engine to the Sloth. “Come on! The other members of The Group should be there!”

______________________________________________________________________________

(10 minutes later)

And so, the other members of The Group, which consisted of the couples of Monique Smith and her boyfriend of five months Jamarcus Hall (whom was the star wide receiver of the Mad Dog football team and Ron's team-mate), Zita Flores and her boyfriend of 10 months Felix Renton, and lastly Tara's boyfriend, Jason, were waiting for Kim, Ron and Tara to arrive.

“Do you see them yet?” Jamarcus asked Felix.

Felix was in his flying wheelchair, scouting the traffic and hovering about 20 feet off the ground.

“I don't see them anywhere, Jamarcus.” Felix replied before landing his wheelchair on the ground with the wheels folding to normal.

“Oh come on!” Zita exclaimed, “Everyone can recognize Kim's car even in a parking lot full of purple cars!” “Should we tell baby girl about her 'big news' yet about the HBD?” Monique asked.

“Not yet, Monique!” Zita replied, “Not until we get to order our food!”

And sure enough, Kim's Sloth rolled into the parking lot.

“Hey girl-friend!” Monique exclaimed.

Kim rushed up to Monique and hugged her. “Heya, Moni! What's up?” “NM! Just waiting for you, Ron, and T so that we can order!” Jamarcus gave a high-five to Ron. “Yo! Stoppable! What's up?” the star wide receiver asked his teammate.

“Just hangin' with my girl, Jamarcus!” Ron replied casually, “That and I am ready for some rad snackage!”

“And what about Rufus?” Jamarcus added.

“Say no more!”

Ron took out Rufus from his pocket.

Rufus smiled at Jamarcus and waved to him. Jamarcus waved back.

“I see he's doing well!” he added. “He's still folding towels for the Mad Dog sports teams?” “Yep! Little guy is getting really good at the whole folding thing.” Ron replied. “Wish if I were that good back home.” Tara then waved to the others. “Hey everyone! Hope we weren't late!!” “Nope!” came Zita's reply. “You're just in time!”

Jason then came up to Tara and they both shared a kiss on the lips.

“Hey, Jason! How's my honey bear?” “I'm doing fine, cutie-sweet!” Jason grinned.

“Did you manage to call the mechanic about your car issues?” he then asked.

“I got that taken care of in Kim's car on the way here.” Tara replied.

“Kinda on the curious side, KP, but do we have cute nicknames?” Ron asked to Kim.

“Of course, Ron! You always call me a badical BFGF and I call you a Naco-sweet BFBF!!” Kim giggled.

“Sounds like it!” Ron exclaimed before he asked the rest of the group. “Now who's up for some snackage!” “You can count all of us in, Ron!” Jason exclaimed.

“I call extra Diablo sauce on my Naco!” Jamarcus added.

“Extra cheese for me!” Felix chimed in.

“Boo-ya!!!” Ron exclaimed his famous catchphrase before The Group entered into the restaurant.

“Hola, senors and senoritas , how may I help you on this muy bueno day?” Ned asked the restaurant's most loyal customer.

“Let's see, Ned! Since The Group's all here, we're gonna put it on the usual four separate tickets: me and KP, Jamarcus and Monique, Felix and Zita, and Tara and Jason. For my ticket, it'll be the usual order, two Nacos and a chimmerito, grande-sized with a taco salad with light nacho cheese on it with Italian dressing for Kim! Oh and two grande sodas for us”

Then came Jamarcus and Monique's turn.

“Alright, Ned. I'm gonna have the number two combo which is one grande-sized Naco and a chorizo, plus a medium diet soda for my lovely lady, Monique, and for me, it'll be two medium chimmeritos and a medium lemonade or me.” Next was Felix and Zita.

“I'll have one Naco grande-sized and a small soda and Zita will have a medium Naco, also with a small soda as well” And lastly was Jason and Tara.

“I'll have two small Nacos with a medium chimmerito and, like Kim, Tara will have her taco salad with Thousand Island dressing.” This was their usual order when The Group got together at Bueno Nacho. They paid $7.94, $8.27, $6.19, and $6.42 for their respective tickets. They also selected a circular booth on the right end of Bueno Nacho, for it was the only one big enough to accommodate The Group and it was handicap-accessible for Felix.

Felix used his power wheelchair to move to that booth. He was at the handicap part of the large table. The other members of The Group also sat down as well. From left to right, it was Zita, Tara and Jason, Monique and Jamarcus, and Kim and Ron. They always take turns on first discussion of what to say. For today, it was Monique.

“So what's on the agenda for today?” the fashionista expert asked.

“Well...the CHSAA basketball championship game is coming up against Denver Arlington.” Kim quipped , “Should we organize a charter bus or use the MUSS buses?” “Girl, that would be up to the school board.” Monique replied.

“Though Arlington is one of the best basketball schools in the entire state of Colorado and they usually bring a huge crowd with them.” Jamarcus added.

“Then I propose that we'll counter them by bringing a huge crowd of our own.” Monique replied. “I'll suggest it to Barkin and in turn, he'll bring it up with the board.”

“Sounds spankin' to me, Monique!” Kim chimed in, “As long as I get the Pep Puppies out of the grounded zone with Dad...”

“Now...next order of business!” Monique added while scanning her PDA. “The Senior Trip that is coming up in the last week of May, the week before school ends for us seniors.”

“I propose the South Beach Bay Harbor Resort area in Northern Dever! They have the largest amusement park in the state!” Felix exclaimed.

“Plus, their shopping is sooooo whoa!” Monique exclaimed, “Two Club Banana locations!!” “And three Bueno Nachos on the property as well!” Ron added in.”

“With plenty of roller coasters and wild rides!” Jamarcus added.

“Speaking of wild rides. I heard that they've added a tunnel of love!” Kim grinned, looking at Ron.

“I saw that on their website.” Ron replied sheepishly, rubbing his shoulder, “Um, KP, do you mind keeping the convo at least PG-rated? There are little ninos around her and I don't think they should overhear what goes on with the birds and the bees, if you know what I mean.” Kim sighed, for she was at a family-friendly restaurant.

“Very well, Ron, but I do admit one thing...” she added, “...at least we would be away from the prying eyes of Mr. Barkin for the entire day. And we couples will take turns in the Tunnel.”

“I'm into the amusement park thing.” Tara added, “Just not into the extreme rides.”

“You can say that again with Ron and carnival food.” Kim added, “He was escorted from the Colorado State Fair after the 'incident' with Mr. Baggy Pants in his sophomore year...don't even go into the deets with that.” “So it's pretty much settled that the SBBH is where the bon-diggety Senior trip is gonna be at, Monique?” Ron asked.

“Mmm-hmm!” Monique said, giving a nod of her head. The other members of the group all raised their hands in unison as well.

monthly report: january 2023

Wowza, I can't believe a month has already flown by. After a rough start of my kiddo getting stomach fly on New Year's Day, I spent most of the month just catching my breath and easing into the new year. It was a good call not to put too much pressure on myself.

Ironically, it was a productive month anyway, with lots of happy-making moments and accomplishments:

Revised about 1/3 of my novel

Took a lot of outdoor open air walks despite the snow and cold

Started to go out for dinner every Friday night with the family

Decluttered a lot of papers and some books

Mastered making falafel in our Instant Pot air fryer

Talked with my best friend on the phone a few times

Spent more time with my parents with my kiddo

Did a little more strength training in the mornings, experimenting with doing pushups everyday (because a few times a week makes it hard to track, it's easier for me just to do them everyday)

Bonded with our new kitty and she seems happy and well-adjusted in our home, and she is so snuggly!

Began getting to bed at a reasonable hour (before midnight is a huge accomplishment for me.)

Participated in some fashion challenges via my favorite fashion forum on Reddit

Read a lot of books

Began planning the little guy's birthday party next week, which is NOT a fun task for me, but I booked the location, put down a deposit, sent out invites, managed the RSVPs. Next up: figuring out food, transport/pickup logistics, ordering the cake, sending out reminders

Bought a nice lounge bed roll from Natural Life that makes my home so much more cheerful, funky and comfy

Paid all my bills!

Trucking along in my Duolingo French course -- I'm determined to finish the Intermediate 1 course by mid-year

However, the month had its difficulties and sticking points:

Some instances of mindless spending

Yelling a few times at my kiddo, especially when I was burned out at the beginning of the month coming off the busy holiday season

Conflict with partner over who does what in terms of house/life shit. The problem is that I feel all the work I do is never seen as the work that it is, it's just written off as "easy" and inconsequential.

Thought it got better at the end, my sleeping patterns were off, and I've begun waking up in the middle of the night. (Thanks, perimenopause!) Gotta figure something out because it really does bite into quality of life.

BORED AT WORK. Can't figure out if the responsibilities, the need for a new direction, or just the drab isolation of working from home in the middle of winter.

Inconsistent exercise when it's sub-zero temps. I mean, part of me thinks I can give myself some slack on this, but it does affect my overall sense of well-being

Having moments of feeling super, super depressed right before my period. It's not even just sad -- it's like my brain just can't feel good in any way, and I feel really despondent and hopeless in a way that doesn't feel right. Sometimes I wonder if I have PMDD. Something to think upon, I guess.

Just that general feeling of being in a hamster wheel, running furiously but with no real movement forward. Spinning my wheels. File it under "existential mid-life malaise."

So that's my roundup of January 2023. Not a bad month, I must say. I'm really looking forward to February 2023's goals and resolutions:

Keep revising my novel! I'm really making a lot of headway at the moment, maybe because I've hit a decent patch of storytelling

Getting ready for my writers group to start up again

Planning my kiddo's birthday party, it's gonna be a banger, lol

An old friend will be in town from London, so I'm looking forward to seeing her

Talking regularly on the phone with my best friend from college

More Friday night dinners as a family

Making myself get dressed in real clothes instead of being in sweats all day -- too easy to do in the winter, for sure!

Focusing my reading on books on relationships, parenting, love and marriage, and also incorporating more fiction

Cleaning out my closet once again and sending a box of clothes to ThredUp

Getting a shoe storage cabinet for my dining room

Getting to bed before midnight most nights -- ideally asleep by 11:30pm, but let's be realistic that this might not always happen

Cleaning out toiletries and makeup bag

Wearing perfume everyday -- I have a lot of scents that I need to use and use up and use out

Making an appointment to meet with a new OB-Gyn -- might delay this till March

Taking walks outside as much as I can

Going out to work at a cafe or some place like that at least once a week

Trying out 2-3 new recipes this month as a challenge. I don't care too much about being the ideal housewife, but for my own sake, I need to try some new recipes

Start re-creating an official website/social media professional presence again...which means paying off Dreamhost, ugh.

Maybe look into estimates for redoing kitchen floor

Start planning outdoor landscaping miniprojects, like planting new boxwoods on my side garden beds

Ok, that's getting a little too ambitious; I'll revise this as needed. Here's to a lovely February full of peace, inspiration, liberation and the divine feminine!

Chapter 2: A Tooka and a Tin Can Walk into a Hangar

Summary: A doctor looks at the woman and Din decides to stay a couple of days. Introductions are made and both Din and the child are trying to get used to their new crew member. Cute interactions are included.

Pairing: Din Djarin x fem!OC

Word Count: 4.7k Rating: T+ for suggested violence

Tags: hurt/comfort, description of injuries, parent child dynamics

Masterlist

“You didn't… kidnap her or something did you?” Din looked at Peli sharply and she gave him a half shrug. “I mean you’ve gotta admit this doesn't look good.” Unfortunately he had to agree.

Peli had helped him lay the woman on one of his clean capes and once he stepped away she’d carefully opened her shirt to get a better look at her chest and arms.

As soon as she covered the woman back up Din had returned and was currently hovering behind her. “What’s her name?” She asked, placing a wet cloth on the woman's forehead. Even without the fever the Pantoran woman was probably burning up since her species were more suited for colder climates. When he didn't say anything she looked up at him but he just shook his head.

Peli could guess how the woman had come by some of her injuries, especially the finger shaped bruises and it made her skin crawl. She knew Din almost definitely probably hadn't caused any of them but there was still a tiny part of her that found the whole thing rather suspicious. She stared at him hard, her mouth a thin line of concentration as her instincts and her experience tried to balance each other out.

Din shifted uncomfortably under the intensity of her silence and it was a tense minute before she finally spoke. “You're lucky I know you.”

There was a sound from out in the hangar and Din whirled, blaster at the ready. In the shimmering heat a hunched old woman was making her way towards the ship. Her white hair was mostly covered by a ratty wide brimmed hat that hid her eyes. She was wearing too many undyed layers for the heat of Mos Eisley and on top of it all she wore a large threadbare backpack that seemed to be on its last legs. The old woman was also using a cane that upon further inspection turned out to be a droid leg. From her overall air of menace and lack of fear Din felt confident that she’d pulled it off of the droid herself.

Din lowered his blaster as walked down the ramp to intercept her but the old woman ignored him and made her way to Peli who had joined him.

Only once the old woman stood in front of them did she fix him with a withering gray glare while simultaneously letting out a huff. “Ya called fer a doctor but the Tin can looks fine to me.”

The old woman took a step towards the ship and when Din moved to stop her she swung her cane up. It clashed against his cuirass, the ring of metal on beskar was reminiscent of a predators warning cry.

“Uh-uh, yer gonna stay right there ‘til I’m good and ready for ya.” Din looked down at her but didn't move even as she continued to glare at him.

“Bu!” All eyes turned to the top of the docking ramp where the child stood looking out. Din shoved the droid leg away from his chest and moved to intercept the child before he could make his way off the ship. He scooped him up and turned, coming face to face with the old woman who had somehow followed him up the ramp silently. Her suspicious eyes were fixed on the child and she tapped her cane thoughtfully.

“Ain’t never seen a tooka that color a’fore.” He turned the child away from her slightly and she scoffed at his reaction. “Don't get yer helmet all banged up. I ain't interested in yer tooka.”

“He’s not-”

She held up a gnarled hand cutting him off. “Less I know the better tin can. Now get so I can work.” She moved past him into the ship and he followed at a distance as Peli crowded behind him. The old woman paused once she caught sight of the woman splayed on the floor. Even from this distance she could see some of the wounds, specifically some of the finger shaped bruises.

Without turning around she addressed Din stiffly. “You her aliit?”

Din tensed at her use of the mando’a term but tried to keep his reply neutral. “No.”

The doctor pursed her lips but kept her eyes on her new patient. “Then scoot, I ain’t undressing her with you watchin’.” Din hesitated but eventually scooted along with Peli.

As the docking ramp raised behind them Peli broke the tense mood by grinning at the child. “Well hello again you sweet thing!” She cooed, softly tugging on one of his ears. The child giggled and held his hands out to her. Din hesitated then sighed as he begrudgingly handed the kid over. The previously weary pit droids crowded around Peli to see the child while making sure to give him a wide berth.

With a tiny nod of approval from him Peli retreated back into the shop talking to the child with her while Din stayed outside. His regulated suit kept him from broiling under the twin suns but he still moved until he was in the shade thrown by the Razor Crest.

Din wasn’t sure if he could trust the doctor but he was glad she hadn't asked him too many questions, even if she was a little cantankerous. He didn't like leaving the doctor alone in his ship but he also wasn’t about to let Peli wander off with the child. From where he stood he could keep an eye on the hatch and see Peli moving around in her workshop as the child babbled to her.

“I know, it’s too hot out there huh?” There were a few squeaks from one of the pit droids and a curse from Peli. “Go see if you can find another fan, will you?”

....

The doctor worked for over an hour and Din stayed exactly where he was, looking for all the world like a beskar statue. The heat was starting to get to him but he ignored it as he watched Peli move around in the deep shadows of her workshop. Eventually the docking ramp hissed open and the old doctor appeared minus her hat and bag.

He shifted slightly and she glared at him. “Peli!”

“What!” There was a thunk and a curse from inside then Peli appeared with the child in her arms. The old woman gestured for her to come inside and disappeared without looking to see if she was following. Din took the child back since he hadn't been invited inside and the little one leaned against him sleepily. In another time he wouldn't have stayed where he was, after all it was his ship and he was going to be the one paying both women. But he stayed where he was, resigned to waiting rather than dealing with the bitter old doctor.

Although, as the sound of quiet whispers reached him he decided there was no harm in listening in so he turned up his audio sensors and focused.

The old doctors voice was low and clipped. “...he do this?”

“Mando? No, he’s not the type.”

“Peli, I just dug glass outta that girl's arms and she’s gotta whole mess of infections runnin’ through her. Not to mention the obvious bruises that we both recognize. Ya gotta tell me if ya even think he had a part in this.”

Inside the ship Peli placed her hands on her hips and shook her head. “No. All he said was he picked up a passenger and she wasn't doing very good so I called you.”

There was a pause as the old woman glared in Dins direction. “You sure he ain't the type to beat someone if they couldn't pay? Or use them?”

Outside Din gritted his teeth. He knew what she was accusing him of. He knew what this looked like. But he also knew that no matter what he said to her she wouldn't believe him.

Luckily Peli’s reply was firm as she held the old doctor eyes with her own. “No.”

The old doctor searched Peli’s eyes for a moment then sighed. “Fine, bring him in but I’m watchin’ 'him, an’ if his hands match those bruises he ain’t leavin with her.” Peli raised her hands in defeat and headed back towards the open loading ramp.

Din turned his audio receptors down and watched as Peli appeared at the top of the ramp. “C’mon up Mando!” She said but he was already moving. Careful to keep the child still against him since he’d fallen asleep in his arms. It was cooler inside with the life support running and he closed the ramp behind him to keep it that way causing the ship lights to flicker on.

The old doctor was sitting on the floor next to the woman who now lay under another one of Dins cloaks. Her clothes lay neatly folded next to her and she had a fever patch on her forehead. Both her bare blue arms were bandaged from hand to elbow and rested limply on top of his cloak. Now that more of her skin was exposed Din got a better look at how beat up she was.

The old woman eyed him cooly, her grey eyes weary. “You do any of this to her?” She asked bluntly.

He didn't move his head, his eyes still on the woman but he made sure his voice was clear. “No.” She watched him closely waiting for any kind of reaction. But he had nothing to hide and apparently she didn't see what she was looking for.

She huffed and turned her attention back to the woman and he felt oddly relived that she didn't try to question him any more. “Yer lucky you got here in time, any longer an’ I wouldn't’ve been able to help.” She rummaged in her bag and held out five stim canisters. Four blue, one yellow.

“For four days give her one of these. Even if she’s actin’ better. They’re to help fight the infections in her blood. If she passes out again, give her the yellow one and find a doctor right away. It’s yer last resort but if you don't get her help after you use it she could die.” He gazed at the canisters before carefully taking them from the old woman's hand.

“You seen all her injuries?” He shook his head and she turned away from him and continued. “She’s got some nasty wounds on her chest. Looks like they're from claws. She’s got rope wounds on her wrists and cuts on her arms.” She paused before continuing. “An she’s been beaten by someone with big hands.” She glared at Din but it didn't hold quite as much suspicion as earlier. “Bigger’n yer’s tin can.”

Din swallowed, at least she didn't think he’d done that to her although he couldn't say how she felt about the rest. “She’s also sufferin’ from exhaustion and dehydration. I’ve got her set up for now but when she wakes, make her drink as much water as ya can and keep her comfortable, no adventurin for her.” He nodded silently.

“Now I gots places to be, Peli’ll give ya my bill.” She stood casting one more glance down at her sleeping patient before shuffling to the ramp and opening it. Din and Peli watched as the old woman pulled her hat on and left the hanger without a backwards glance.

Peli didn't waste any time and turned towards Din with her hands in her pockets. “Alrighty Mando lets get squared up.” Din turned to look at Peli as he mulled over the situation.

“How much to stay for a couple of days?”

…

Since the woman had paid for the last hanger he wasn't currently short of funds. While the old woman's bill wasn't cheap by any means, he could still afford to pay both it and the hanger fee. But he was adding a hefty convenience charge to the woman's bill whenever she recovered.

He’d asked Peli to go into town to pick up some new clothes for the woman since her old ones were worn and blood stained now. When she’d asked him why he couldn't go himself he’d simply replied, “I don't know what to buy.” After a lot of complaining from her and the promise of extra compensation, she begrudgingly agreed to do it.

....

The twin suns of Tatooine were starting to set, casting the ground hanger into deeper and deeper shadow. He’d decided to do some work on the nav computer while they were there. Just sorting through everything and finally purging some of the useless data. The child was sitting in his lap totally engrossed in what he was doing though there wasn’t much to see.

“Mando!” He looked up to see Peli standing in front of the ship, a large bag slung onto her back. She raised a hand to him and he nodded before slipping out of the pilot seat and cradling the child to his chest.

“Alright here’s the clothes. We’ve got a dust storm coming tonight, make sure you’ve got everything closed up tight.” He nodded and she turned her focus to the child her face softening. “You ready for dinner little guy? I bet you are.”

Din couldn't help but give a small smile at her genuine affection. It was nice to have moments like this. And with the extra credits that would be coming in hopefully there’d be more.

Peli was still talking and he focused on her. “I’ve got some fresh Bac Noodles that I was gonna cook up. Does that sound tasty?”

“Eh!” The child squeaked looking between him and Peli, his green ears flopping with the movement.

Peli let out a little chuckle. “Yeah sure, Mando can have some too.” She grinned at the two of them and he nodded his thanks.

….

The Bac Noodles were fantastic. Once he’d closed the ship up for the night they’d sat down to eat in the hold. Far enough away from the woman that she couldn't see them but close enough that he could still hear her if she moved. As he ate the kid kept looking back and forth between him and where the woman slept. She hadn't moved all day, at least not since Peli had helped him slip a sleeping mat under her and she’d flinched.

“Are you done?” The child looked at him then down at his bowl. He picked it up with his tiny hands and drained the contents before setting it down with a burp. His attention was quickly focused back towards the woman. Din sighed and replaced his helmet, the locks letting out a quiet hiss as they reengaged.

As he washed their bowls he thought about the woman. As soon as she woke up he was going to get her name and run her through the system and see what he could scrounge up. Normally he’d have done it as soon as she boarded but that hadn't worked out.

There was a huge gasp from behind him and panicked breathing. He didn't know what was going on but he dropped the bowls and swiftly moved towards the woman, ready to subdue her if need be. But as he got into view all he saw was the child, who had both his hands on one of her bare shoulders and was shaking her. The woman looked panicked, her gold eyes darting around the space as she apparently tried to catch her breath.

He knelt beside her as she tried to sit up and firmly pressed down on her other shoulder while trying to sound calm. “Don’t. You're hurt.” Under his bare hand her skin was icy and he couldn't help but notice how soft it was.

“What happened?” She asked, her voice barely louder than a whisper. She tried to clear her throat but her mouth was too dry. He reached over to a water bottle he’d placed by her and opened it. She licked her dry lips and raised a shaky hand to take it from him. Seeing this he hummed in concern and pulled it away from her before setting it down and grabbing an extra pillow. Gently he slipped his hand under her neck and lifted her head. Unlike her shoulder her neck was warm and he felt her subtly relax into his touch. Carefully he slid the pillow under her head and she sighed when he let her go. Neither of them was sure if it was because he’d released her, or because she was elevated. So they both ignored it.

He held the water bottle out to her once more. This time he let her take it from him but he watched carefully as she raised it to her lips.

“You passed out. A doctor looked at you and gave me some medicine.”

Beside her the child pointed at Din and chimed in with a “Bui!” She looked at the little one and followed his tiny finger until her eyes met Dins. “Bui!” The child repeated, more forcefully this time.

Din looked back down at her waiting for her reaction. “Your name’s Bui?” She asked cautiously.

Din shook his head. “It’s just a sound he makes.” The child seemed indignant at his dismissal and made a few more sounds, this time directed at him. The woman turned her head slightly and seemed to study the child before she smiled and addressed him.

“So what’s your name, little guy?”

The child blinked at her, his brown eyes wide. “Eh.”

She looked to Din and he gave a minute shrug. “He doesn't have one.”

She blinked, her white brows furrowing slightly. “He’s not yours?” Din shook his head but didn't give any other explanation. When she continued to look at him he decided to broach another subject.

“You never told me your name.” He saw her eyes flicker with apprehension but when she answered she sounded truthful.

“It’s Aina.” There were a few seconds of awkward silence as they continued to stare at each other. “And you?” She asked, eyes searching his visor. He didn't reply, just watched her and the child who was looking at him curiously.

She sighed lightly when it became obvious he wasn’t going to answer her. “Okay, Mando it is.”

Outside the dust storm was picking up speed, showering the Razor Crest in sand and debris. And for the first time since it started they could hear it from inside. The keening was unnerving in the awkward silence but Aina was almost grateful for the distraction even as she looked around in confusion.

Din saw her reaction. “Dust storm.” He said simply.

Fear and weariness rippled though Aina, and she couldn't keep it out of her voice. “Where are we?”

Din didn't respond right away as he studied her face, taking in her obvious distress and making a note of it before simply saying,“Tatooine.” Her face relaxed and she breathed a sigh of relief before finishing the bottle of water off.

Din hadn't moved from where he’d knelt, his eyes on Aina which was why the child caught him by surprise when he pulled up the edge of the cloak on Aina’s chest and peered under it. Din snatched his mischievous little hand off but not before the edge of a bacta patch and part of a dark purple bruise were revealed. Aina didn't even seem to have noticed but Din didn’t want to push his luck. Without a word he picked the child up who grumbled into his chest at his intrusion and held another bottle of water out.

“Finish this before you fall back asleep.” He didn't wait for her to answer before he stood and returned to the cockpit where he settled the child into the pram.

“Don’t do that again.” The child simply cocked his head and looked up at him, his round eyes full of innocence that Din was pretty sure was fake.

Aina didn't have enough energy to really process Mando and the childs abrupt exit but she did as he’d instructed before falling back into a heavy sleep.

Aina slipped in and out of consciousness for the rest of the night; sometimes it was because of her dreams, sometimes it was because of thirst. More than once she’d seemingly awoken for no reason, only to blearily look around and see the glint of beskar in the dark before falling back asleep.

….

Din was trying to make breakfast but he was having a hard time cooking and keeping the child away from where Aina slept. As soon as he looked away from him he was scampering away. After the second time Din had to snatch him up before he got to her he decided to try a firmer approach.

He set the child back down on his stool beside him in the little kitchenette and pointed at the worn seat. “Stay.”

They stared at each other for a moment, deep brown and impenetrable black giving nothing away. Din sighed and turned back to the stove, stirring the contents a couple more times before picking up the pan and scooping the scrambled mess into three bowls.

From behind him he heard Ainas sleepy voice. “No little one don't pull, it hurts.”

Din turned back towards the worn stool to see that it was unsurprisingly empty. He set the pan in the sink and moved around the crates to where Aina was, not sure what he was going to find. The child was touching her white braid, his little green hands tracing the interwoven sections curiously.

Aina looked up at Din and gave him a crooked smile that made him smile back though she couldn't see it. “Guess it’s time to wake up.”

Din couldn't deny that he’d been trying to keep the child away from her. Not just because she was injured, but because he still didn't know if he could trust her. However the child had no such inhibitions as proven by his most recent antics.

Aina moved to sit up and groaned, having to rest on her elbows as her body protested. Din knelt beside her, unsure whether or not she should be moving yet. He watched her closely as she shifted her weight onto one arm and held his cloak to her chest with the other. She glanced at him, silently grateful that he wasn’t trying to stop her as she slowly and painfully sat all the way up.

Beside her the child tilted his head, his ears twitching as he studied her. As much as she’d hoped her body had recovered it was obvious that she’d need help to move.

She grimaced but forced herself to look into the blank visor, even as she felt her face heating up. “Can you help me up?”

Din didn't answer, just held a hand out for her to take. When his other hand rested on her bare back she tensed, very aware of how little she was wearing but she didn't pull away. With Dins help she stood, her legs wobbly beneath her. She’d been worried that her rather generous form would be cumbersome to him but he’d helped her up as if she weighed nothing and she couldn't resist the tiny thrill that gave her.

Din looked away as she readjusted his cape to cover herself but glanced back when she tried to take a step forwards and her legs gave out. She fell heavily against him, her hands grasping at cold beskar even as his gloved hands caught her and held her up.

She knew her face was almost purple now with how hard she was blushing and gritted her teeth. “Sorry Mando. Just give me a minute.” Din didn't say anything, just waited. He could tell she was uncomfortable with the situation but he was pretty sure she wasn’t going to be able to walk. She tried to pull away from him but her muscles began to tremble as soon as she shifted.

Din knew she wasn’t going to make it on her own so he made an executive decision and carefully scooped her up into his arms. She let out a little peep of surprise as she scrabbled at his armor. Again he’d impressed her with his strength and even though she was embarrassed by his action it wasn’t all bad.

On his end Din marveled at how soft she was against him. She was pillowy, giving delightfully under his gloves. He wished he’d removed them just so he could feel her skin against his but he shoved those thoughts away knowing they’d only lead to frustration. It only took a few steps for him to reach the refresher and carefully set her down just inside. He had to quickly look away as the cloak slipped, revealing a large amount of bruised blue skin to him.

….

After Aina had used the facilities and rinsed her face off in the sink she spent a couple of minutes staring at her reflection. Now that she wasn’t running for her life or delirious from infection she could take in the damage on her body. There were two large bacta patches that met in a V on her chest. Covering the deep slices and bruises she’d gotten that horrible night. Then there were the many finger shaped bruises on her waist, hips and thighs which she was glad to see were starting to fade. Beyond that there were other bruises and a few cuts but everything seemed to be healing nicely. She wished she could see her arms and wrists but they were bandaged and she wasn't about to remove them.

She sighed. She was a mess, but at least she was away from that force forsaken planet. She pulled the dark gray cloak around her, much like she would with a towel until it fully covered her. Then she leaned hard against the sink as her muscles started to shake again and pressed the button to open the door. Her eyes widened when she was that Din was standing there with his arms crossed, obviously waiting for her.

“Ready?” She didn't need to ask what he was referring to as he held his arms out towards her. This time as he picked her up he inadvertently pressed on one of her deeper bruises and she hissed in pain. Din tensed, unsure of what he’d done and not wanting to make it worse.

Aina winced. “Can you move your hand on my hip, please?” Carefully Din adjusted his grip and the pain eased. Apparently not all the bruises were as healed as she’d thought. After he set her down he moved to stand but she reached out and rested her hand on his. The sudden contact made him freeze and he swore he could feel the heat of her skin even through his glove.

Aina hadn’t really thought before she’d reached out but when he didn't pull away she took it as a good sign.

“Thank you.”

….

The rest of the day was slow to say the least. Din made a few minor interior repairs, and checked on Aina every once and awhile. Mostly she slept, only waking to drink more water, even though Dins repairs weren't exactly quiet. By the time lunch rolled around he was pleased to see she’d already finished three of the bottles by her mat.

Peli and her pit droids had work to do most of the day but she checked in around lunch time and Aina was awake. They were all sitting on the floor around Aina. Her, Peli and the child were all eating something Peli had scrounged up while Din watched. After Aina had introduced herself to the woman Peli had instantly warmed to her. Din wasn’t really paying attention to what they were talking about but the kid would sometimes interrupt with his own sounds and they’d nod along with him as if they understood. Din felt a little left out of their casual conversation which wasn’t exactly unusual but irked him all the same.

Eventually Din took his leave, heading towards the cockpit with his own lunch and the sleepy child. The two women talked a little longer, simply enjoying each others company until Aina started to yawn.

After that Peli was quick to offer her assistance to Aina so she could use the refresher then made sure she was comfortable and headed back out into the blistering heat.
