Posting at exactly 12 AM on the 25th because I couldn’t wait any longer lmao
This is my gift for the lovely @thecrowslullaby who requested some Sides at a Christmas market, as well as a healthy portion of Loceit! (because of course XD) I’ll admit it was very scary to get your name, considering how incredibly talented you are lol
But I really hope you like it, and that the Loceit is befitting your exquisite palate! Happy Holidays! <3

HIII PINNIE, VERBALASE ANON HERE AND I’VE FINISHED THE FRAME !! digital drawing is not my forte,, apologies if it looks…. but lets be honest probably nobody is drawing that whole background or wtv traditionally… AND BEFORE I GET THUNDERCUNTED INTO OBLIVION,,, i am 20 years old :)) (soon to be 21 in a few days) continuing on,,,, i went ahead and put my silly little self insert in (im terrible at drawing humans) and i tried to keep it in the same cartoony style in the original but my style started to blend in like two thirds into the drawinggg… vesper is so expensive to draw 😭😭 BUT I LOVE HIS FLOOF aaaaand im going to be working on some other frames and just thought i could dump this one here and retreat back to my corner (ps my fav one is the one on the right) ALSSOOOOO ive been stalking ur whole tumblr for the past like MONTHS and just gonna say that i LOVE YOU and i LOVE YOUR OCS and I LOVE YOUR WRITING AND AUGGGHHH (passionate aggression) 🥯🥯🥯🥯 okay thats it bye bye LUV U 💛💛💛
Tumblr media
That's pretty cute! Cursed to Hell but actually cute to be honest. :D
Makes two, honestly humans aren't my strongsuit either. Also, thenk you for stating your age. I wouldn't say Vesper is the hardest bitch to draw around here, but he does have his own weird little quirks. You did a pretty good job, even in terms of the glow on his eyes, so don't worry. Glad to hear you're having fun so far! :7
This did kind of get me to sketch a frame too, though I'm likely not completing it lmao.

Another year Another summary of Art! An Entire Year of Submas lets gooooooooooo!!!! This year I feel like I really pushed myself when it comes to illustrations and I feel like I've learned a lot! But at the same time I feel a little tired, next year I think I wanna relax and experiment a bit more, I gotta learn to loosen up! Might get more art out if I do :p
I also feel the Submas grip ever so lightly relaxing (unless they decide to do Unova remakes haha XD), so I might introduce some of my numerous ocs in 2024! I'll probably start with the conductor oc ;]
Thank you for all your support! (you are all very nice! ToT), I still have a good amount of submas stuff planned in the works so look forward to that (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧
If you are interested, I also have some commentary and behind the scenes for some of my submas illustrations! I wanna talk about it and now seems like a good time to do so now that the year is over! (Beware! its going to be long!)
All titles are linked to the original post
Lunch Break
hoho! This one is the sort of AU thing in which the only thing that changes is that I give Emmet a Victini friend (not a part of his team, I dubbed them the "victory duo" because Emmet likes winning and Victini is the Victory Pokemon), I planned out a few wordless comics regarding the idea, they were all very lighthearted slice of life kind of stuff, usually Victini causing some mischief and the brothers having to deal with it
Tumblr media
and here's the thumbnails for this piece! I played around with various angles but decided to keep it simple and choose a straight on angle. It was originally a snack break and Emmet sharing a granola bar with Victini, but as I was planning it, submas unexpectedly showed up in the Pokemon Anime where they were serving ekiben, after learning about it it quickly turned into a lunch break! (how fun when new information lines up with an art piece you are working on hoho! ^ ^) After studying what foods Ekiben usually have in them (there was quite a variety!) I took what I learned and try to make the food look like the gear station logo :D
In the background there are children drawings because in the battle subway one of the trainer classes you can face off against are preschoolers, and I thought at least one of them would share their drawings with the subway bosses (and of course why wouldn't they hang it up?), there is also a trophy in which you can get in the players room if you beat the subway bosses on the super trains (one day, battling competitively is not my forte), I did my best to make Emmet's office feel lived in by adding a little bit of clutter (like adding a note) but overall very organized
(hey hey that joltik mug looks familiar in the corner there, its the same one Rei is holding in the christmas drawing)
Tumblr media
Bonus Emmet and Victini Drawings
aw come on dude, not on the trains!
ah this one, it gave me quite a bit of frustration! This piece I used to challenge myself on perspective, and challenge me it did! The version you see now is I believe the 6th iteration of this drawing! The reason for restarting so many times is because I originally wanted it to be in 3 point perspective, but I couldn't get it to look right so its now in 2 point... Haha Some valuable lessons learned there!
This illustration was inspired by the history of New York Subway Trains and Graffiti! I read about it when I got to visit the New York Transit Museum and found it super interesting!! Then I went I gotta do something with this! Since Unova is based in New York after all!
I got so many subway surfer comments, they don’t know I forgot subway surfers existed while making this and that I am a huge nerd lmao
Tumblr media
I had a lot of fun designing the graffiti on the train (yes it says among us) stylizing the fictional letters was so fun! I studied some graffiti to see how they do it, I could've pushed the graffiti style more but then it would be illegible! I also mixed in elements of Grafaiai graffiti, and trainer that is running away is the artist trainer class in SCVL because they are graffiti artists! And the train that got graffitied is the Wifi Train, due to BW (and the DS) servers being shut down, I doubt that train gets used much anymore, which makes it a perfect target!
Derailed!
hohoho! This was a fun one! I'm not sure how many of you guys read my tags, but in there I did state that this piece was based off the fact that model trains are powered by electrifying the rail it runs on (very low watts mind you) and the fact that Joltik eats electricity, but thats not the only inspiration, it was also inspired by those videos of cats laying on the layout and derailing the train!
Tumblr media
Theres quite a variety of thumbnails for this idea (including a comic!), and the idea was there in 2022, but this year I decided to fully commit to it! I started rendering the top right one and almost finished it, but it felt really boring to me, so I switched it up and made some thumbnails in a new perspective and viola! thats what ended up being finished!
The train that is being derailed are Sanriku Railway Type 36s, based off a model train I have in my collection! (While sharing this fact on the original post Haiku Bot detected it as a Haiku?! and this art went out of my target audience, that certainly was a day (⊙□⊙;))
Tumblr media
Also I straight up put a picture of Thomas the Tank Engine in the background, I'm not sure if people noticed cuz its quite blurry, the fact that nobody said anything means I probably would’ve gotten away with it before sharing this fact, so hehe :3c
Unexplained Melancholy
eyy! this one! It started out wholly different
Tumblr media
It was originally me dropping Warden Ingo in various natural landscapes around Hisui as I didn't feel like drawing anymore linear perspective (ah, but heres the thing, all environments require a little bit of perspective lol), and it was just going to be Warden Ingo hanging out in a lush forest, specifically by the train rock that was shown in his concept art! but after sitting on it, I realized I could do something more with it! by making it a snowy environment I could make callbacks to Emmet's coat being white! hence the "SNOWY!!!" being scribbled there, that was added like weeks afterwards, Then I realized I could push it even more by making the whole environment about Emmet's colors! So the new thumbnail is in color because thats whats its about!
The moon smile thing was stumbled on by complete accident, while working on it it felt empty there and I added Emmet's smile to fill the space before going "moon!!!"
The piece is also a sort of a parallel to last years piece “I am Emmet, I wish for Ingo and I to be a two-car train once more” composition wise, sort of, I tried to at least 👍
Black Tower and Whitetree Hollow
Ah! I was quite proud of this one! Black City and White Forest are some of my favorite places in Unova mainly because the parallels are so very cool!
Tumblr media
As the thumbnails suggest it was all going to be in complete black and white, as I was working on it though I could not help but add some values in there so yup! I quite like both compositions but the perspective won me out, plus that one focuses more on the characters than the other one (as much as I love backgrounds, it really is supposed to be about Emmet and Ingo U_U)
Being places of duality and having a battle challenge in there, it really fit them!
Emmet drops the hottest single of all time 🔥🔥🔥
Not really much to say about this one since it was very much done on a whim, but
Tumblr media
its not the first time I drew Emmet with his hat backwards, I did this little doodle around the same time I did the train graffiti piece, been wanting to do something with this silly idea, and when I heard that audio, I went :o
Following Some Rumors of a Time Machine
the finale! I decided to choose Area Zero because its a very cool place! I am inspired by cool places! and I decided to give it my all for this one!
Tumblr media
The thumbnail I made was more for jotting down the idea, and the landscape was going to be more eyelevel? Later I decided to make it so you were looking down into the crater and you get to see the fog blocking the crystal caverns, to show that Emmet was going deeper into Area Zero and the Deepest part is his destination (the time machine, not the underdepths, I didn't know about that yet haha!) I was always going to make Emmet encounter a Slither Wing, with it being based off Volcarona, a gen 5 pokemon :]
Anyways, That's all I have to say! I hope you found it interesting! (and enjoyed my varying quality in sketches and thumbnails XD) Thanks for listening! see you in 2024! ✌

BTS As Your Best Friends
I was feeling inspired by my BTS As Your Boyfriend series, and I wanted to give yall a cute little friend moment! 💕
Comtains: Fluff, that's about it lmao
This is only with the maknaes, but the others will come soon!
°+~♡~+°
Jungkook-
THIS MAN....
Devious asf 💀💅
He actually will not shut his fucking mouth, bro will call you up at 4 in the morning to talk to you about how his day went
Lowkey invites himself to your place unapologetically
Very juvenile, in a good way. Like sleepovers with snacks and movies and pillow forts
THE GOSSIP KING 👑
And he will fill you in on all the bangtan tea
He's the type to make pinky promises not to tell after he talks hella shit abt someone 💀
Not that he talks hella shit that much, but the occasion that it happens, expect a lot to come out of his mouth.
Very good listener tho, if you actually have an issue, he's gonna be there for you
Definitely tells you way too much about his dating life...
He also falls asleep on you, so get used to it. he's an affectionate bitch, what can he say? And with all the sleepovers yall are having, he can't help it
Okay but tell me why I think he'd love playing hair salon with you 👀
One of his downsides as a friend is that he's a fucking celebrity and has a shit ton of other people to interact with and other places to go
So don't expect too much from the poor guy, he's got a lot on his plate.
Recently we found out that he vapes, so he for sure needs a vape buddy
ALSO
He is SO GOOD at dating advice
Whoever you're into, he will be right there planning your wedding on a pinterest board.
Expect lots of singing in the car
In all, jaykay is fucking hyper but he's a great bestie to have
Taehyung-
Tae is your deep ass convo kinda guy
Like yeah, he's fun asf, but damn he's just built to talk about deep shit with you
If any of these friendships are likely to turn into relationships, it's gonna be with Tae
He just loves love 😭
And honestly, as he should
And I'm not saying that you return the feelings, but you are the one reading a Bts imagine on tumblr... 🤷‍♀️
Besides the fact that he lowkey has a crush on you, you'll probably be at his house more than your own
I can see him just talking and talking for hours on end with his bestie while you chill on the couch with a TV show playing in the background
Probably has a cute nickname for you
Like if you're short, he calls you shorty. And if your cute, he calls you cutie.
IDK MAN IM BAD AT THIS 💀💀💀
But he'll come up with something cute
Your contact name in his phone will probably be something along the lines of "my wife" or "wifey"
Or smth stupid like that just bc he likes you 💀
And he won't tell anyone either, he just unironically talks about you all the time, nothing suspicious 👀
Expect chaos when he's drunk tho
He goes WILD
It's fun though, seeing him being smiley and not contemplating the complexities of life to you
Your man is weird asf but you gotta love him
Jimin-
Someone needs to calm him down and give him a massage or smth
Because when I tell you...
JIMIN IS THE FLIRTIEST HOE EVER
He doesn't even like you, it's just jimin being jimin
Very sweet tho 🥺
He seems kinda awkward about giving advice bc he doesn't know exactly what to say, but he'll listen really good
Also, no offense to jimin, but he's a mess.
He's so caring that he likes someone new every other day istg
And he'll tell you all about it and it's the cutest thing ever watching him have so much love for so many people
May or may not have mid-life crises during the night and come over to drink alcohol and pour his heart out to you
He's a people pleaser so be a good friend and encourage him or compliment him a lot
He will most likely flirt with you in return but it secretly makes him feel reassured so just take one for the team
Probably will give you fashion advice tbh
And he's an icon so you let him do his thing
I think he'd like doing things like drawing or painting or dancing as an activity with you
Like it's fun to do, but it's quiet enough for him to talk about his problems
This is so sad but I feel like he projects a very happy image but he doesn't always feel it inside
He may struggle with self image and dependence on others
So he needs you to be his anchor to hold him down and tell him he'll be alright
And he'll do the same for you, don't worry.
°+~♡~+°
Hope you enjoyed! The hyung line version is coming soon! 💕
My requests are open 😘

Could you draw Batman in Dan Mora's style with copic markers with microns? I'm thinking Bats in only black and white and his surroundings in color. He stands semi-visibly in dark shadows in The AlleyTM where his parents died. He's looking at their bodies which are also only in black and white. It's to give off the feeling of being trapped in the past. Maybe little kid Bruce is also among the corpses? I'm not describing a panel I saw, I swear, but it's a scene that hasn't left me for a while.
Feel free to change anything, it's your art and work after all lmao
Would be super happy if you decided to do it, but not necessary if you don't want to!! Take all the time you want!! Thank you!
I finally finished it! It was definitely a challenge to do in Dan Mora's style, but I think I pulled it off okay lol. I intentionally made the bricks a little wonky because I wanted to give off the weirdness and Tim Burton like style that I think of when I think of gotham. I also added the bats in the background last minute because I thought it would look cool behind batman and kind of contribute to the ominous vibe of it all.
Tumblr media
The materials I used:
Copic markers: black, cobalt blue, and ultramarine
Micron pens: brush tip, graphic 1, and 05
Canson XL series oil and acrylic paper pad 9×12"
For any of my Fort Wayne people (or people in the Indiana and Ohio area) all my materials came from United Art and Education, an awesome store off Clinton that is literally dedicated to art supplies and educational stuff (literally nicknamed the teacher store). They have stuff I have never even thought about, like wood carving, print/bock printing, etc. Check it out! They also have a website you can order online! (P.S. I may or may not work there and get 20% off)
Anyway, the reference photos I used:

I hope you like it! Thanks for the ask!!
P.s I feel awful for this, but I gotta just put it out there that I do accept tips and my website it linked in the description!

The Nanny (pt. 1/?)
Tumblr media
⋯⁂ Summary: Mr. Zhongli works at a quaint little daycare, and he’s the children’s favorite. Although, when you come by for the first time with your niece in tow, his curiosity about your anxiety around children has officially been piqued.
⋯⁂ a/n: hiiii this was inspired by a tiny set of asks at @zhongrin's a while back. i've only now gotten around to it lmao. i hope u guys like it! i plan to write more but we'll have to see if that'll work out or not.
⋯⁂ w.c: 717.
⋯⁂ characters: zhongli. gn reader. reader has a niece.
⋯⁂ cw: modern-ish au. reader is nervous around kids and lowkey generally anxious. sorta fluffy.
Tumblr media
Mr. Zhongli has been a daycare attendant for quite some time now. He enjoys his job to the fullest—the little ones rarely fail to light up his day. Of course, some days are rougher than others—you can only do so much evading. But he's long since accepted the inevitabilities of life.
He took this job, figuring it'd be much easier than his former jobs. And thus far, he's been right. It is a lot easier for his historic heart, even a couple of years later after taking care of a variety of children from all kinds of backgrounds. To this day, he still enjoys his job—it somehow always brings a sun-kissed smile to his face.
To the average person, the days might blend in a little after a few weeks of working at the daycare. But, for him, he remembers every single day as clearly as the last one. It's his own little curse to bear and has been for an alarmingly long time. Yet, these little ones always make that curse much easier to bear in the long run.
Today was no different for him—people come and go to pick up their kids at various hours of the day. And the kids still adore his stories, at least when he uses simple words and no figures of speech. The less confusing the better. And finally, his deep yet gentle voice lulls many little ones to naptime. Is that his plan all along? He'll never confess.
Today was no different… Keyword: Was.
That's until you arrived during nap time with a sleepy toddler waddling next to you. You're holding your niece's hand while her spare hand rubs at her tired eyes. To Zhongli, she looks like she'll collapse at any moment. So, he speed-walks over to the doors where you entered.
"Hey there…" He greets, accidentally using his baby voice when he speaks. "Ahem—my apologies—good afternoon. You must be new?" He inquires with a soft yet firm voice.
"Y-Yeah, I am." You nod sheepishly. You look down at your niece, muttering her name, to which she doesn't bother responding. You sigh a little. "Uh… This is my niece… I'm babysitting her for, uh…a while… But, y'know… Work…" You sputter out awkwardly.
A nervous gulp restricts airflow when you notice all the tiny bodies of sleeping children behind the attendant. You want out as soon as possible. Children have never been your forte… Even getting along with your peers as a kid was difficult enough.
And Zhongli—while he won't admit it to anyone, especially not you—has never seen someone so fearful around kids. At least, not in this work field. You're the first.
Instead of responding verbally, he gives you a nod before approaching the little girl attached to you. He crouches down to her height, offering a welcoming hand to her—a hand that's gloved with black fabric hiding the old callouses of bygone years.
"Hello…" He speaks with a softer, warmer voice, "What's your name?"
Your niece sleepily tells him her name.
"What a pretty name." He smiles more, "Would you like to join the others in naptime? I'll even let you sleep a little extra—" She immediately runs away from you to rush over to his leg and hold it in her tiny, chubby arms. "Haha," He chuckles, "I will take that as a yes."
Leading her over to the area with all the other napping children, he hands her a fluffy blanket and pillow. She's hasty to flop down onto the floor in front of him and fall fast asleep.
You breathe a sigh of relief at the sight. And then you choke up again when he approaches you again at the door. Even though he's smiling and so very kind, you're not sure where to start let alone do.
"May I have your name? I will add both of your names to the sign-in book." He inquires, and once you tell him your first and last names, he swiftly adds them to the cute, stickered book at his desk.
"Uh…" You mutter, "I'll get out of your hair now…! Bye!" You choke out before nearly charging out of the building at the fastest walking speed he's ever seen.
"Goodbye—" He starts, but by the time he gets the whole word out, you're gone.

i did. actually classpect the rest of the nda. so heres the list + makoto is also there. for the record: i play my class pairs out mostly like the fandom consensus does, but i am an active page passive knight girlie.
halara: prince of mind (active+ class, forced to play a passive- role) destroys mind through logic. desuhiko: maid of space (also active+ in a passive- role) creates space through innovation. fubuki: thief of time (active+ in a passive- role) steals time to solve problems. yakou: page of rage (active+ class in an active+ role, tries to appear passive-) makes a path with rage. yuma: heir of heart (passive- class, forced into an active+ role) provides heart through logic. vivia: seer of void (passive- class, tries to play an active+ role) understands void through emptiness. kurumi: sylph of hope (passive- class, plays a passive- role) creates hope with belief. makoto: knight of heart (passive- class in a passive- role, tries to appear active+) protects heart through logic. shinigami: not a player, a sprite or a game construct of some sort, but plays the role of a muse of doom (passive- class, works as a passive- guide). leads others to doom as the embodiment of doom.
more incoherent rambling under the cut!
i knew from the jump that i 100% wanted to make halara a prince. all the canon princes (dirk, kurloz, eridan) are very self-oriented. mind was also a given. taking knowledge and understanding and breaking down falsehoods. its. yeah. halara is the most 'detectivey' detective in the cast.
i wanted there to be both a time and space player, so there could theoretically be a functional session. desuhiko worked for space for that reason! his forte works by altering the space he takes up, creating something new in that space. so i gave him an active class that creates things: maid.
fubuki was always going to be a time player. shes the time character. i jumped back and forth between thief and rogue for her, but i liked the idea of the majority of the master detectives having active classes. she steals time for herself. she may use it to assist others, but the time she takes is localized to herself.
everyones favorite contentious opinion: active page! rage, to me, is the aspect of emotion. yakou applies his emotion, makes a plan and utilizes the emotions of himself and others to create an end. pages have great potential if allowed to reach it. page of rage yakou.
ive already talked about yuma! heart player of all time.
i wanted vivia to have the most passive classpect i could think of. seer of void comprehends emptiness. vivia makes himself as 'empty' as possible. he sees into the void with his forte. forcing a seer into a situation where he actively fights against the truth while also forcing someone else to reach the truth feels very in line with his actual arc in the game.
kurumi is a sylph of hope! she inspires hope in others! she gathers information, she creates things from what she wants to believe in. but its all very much in the background. i also liked the idea of her and desuhiko being a passive/active pair.
ive talked about makoto too! woah!
shinigami would not be a player but she would effectively be a muse of doom. she doesnt give the answers but provides a way to them. without her influence, nothing would happen. but shes never actually the one solving the problem. she allows doom to happen.
oh also i think each mystery labyrinth would be equivalent to someones land! like... in chapter two it starts in desuhikos land and they end up in kurumis when they find that the paths all lead to each other. technically desuhikos land would have to be 'and frogs' since hes a space player but. bwuh.
makoto would have a solo session that kind of... bashes into theirs. if it was an actual game. the peacekeepers would probably be the midnight crew lmao. yomi is jack.
i guess order of operations as far as server/clients would be like. yuma 'has no server player' but other than that it goes: yuma -> halara -> desuhiko -> kurumi -> fubuki -> vivia -> yakou. and then its either 'technically shinigami is yumas server player' or 'technically makoto is yumas server player'. i guess with the twist of the game the second one makes more sense, though?

Introducing the Princess of the Pearl Isles, the one and rightful heir to the land: Boy, the duke’s sphynx familiar✨
Finally a proper introduction of Sam’s familiar, Boy :’) special shoutout to the squad for helping with the idea and @vesuvian-disaster for suggesting he and Boy match because it stuck deep in my brain immediately LOL also of course background is from the game, specifically from the infinite bazaar ;P
Boy is very similar to Sam in many ways, most notably being that she is also a wanderer lmao Though parties and socializing with nobility is not her forte, it’s because not many can appreciate her beauty the way Sam does 😤 so she often is out and about where ever Sam may be—she probably is well known in some sort of street cat hierarchy, and Sam wouldn’t be surprised if she has her own personal cult following that he isn’t aware of (she IS divine after all, as are all cats, according to peepaw)
Some random Boy facts undercut✨
Sam found Boy left behind on a dock when he was beginning his travels with Mara; she was most likely left behind by some other wealthy person and seemed to the runt of a litter. It was impossible for Sam not see her and think “That’s me” and with much convincing (aka weeping and causing a scene), he convinced Mara to let him keep her and the rest was history :’)
Neither knew if she was a boy or a girl, and so Sam stuck with calling her Boy because really, it is a good name for a cat if you think about it (was this him projecting onto a kitten ???? Maybe. Yes. Absolutely it was lmfao)
Boy goes wherever Sam goes. It’s vital as Neeja and Imee aren’t often at his side when he travels, so it’s very important that he has her there
Donna’s nickname for her is “La Princesa”; just like Sam can understand Romeo, Donna is able to understand Boy. They’re one of the few people she gets excited to see that doesn’t live on the Isles. It’s not because Donna and Sam like each other or anything, though, don’t get it twisted >:(((
Sam has an entire hall in the Pearl Isles dedicated to different portraits of Boy. One of the quickest ways into his good graces is gifting something to her as opposed to him—he has everything he wants, but Boy deserves everything and more 😌

DAN HENG.FOR THE CHARACTER ASK GAME!!
Cold Dragon Young!
General opinion/How much I care about them: Man, Dan Heng is such a fun guy. You see this quiet dude and you think he's probably all plain and straight-laced, but then he, in no particular order: gets into a an underground fight club tournament (and wins??), breaks a military fleet's banishment sentence to save his pals, and gets a whole cutscene wherethe idiot almost kisses the mc (there's no way that was a proper CPR attempt. He was 100% bullshitting his way there).
[Spoiler warning for the Luofu main quest incoming!!]
The way they handled his background and character arc makes me very sad tho. I wish the writers took their time with playing out his backstory; it could've been so much better if they waited long enough to let us get to know him and everyone else involved a little better, to see his struggle with the very interesting ship of theseus theme he has going on in light of Dan Feng's history, and deliver on all that in a way that's actually impactful in emotion and story relevance, instead of rushing it in favor of getting to the bossfight of the quest. Alas, it is what it is.
At least he got out of it with something! I mean, who can say no to 1 more little sister :D
A ship I love: *rummaging noises* huh, I wonder where I dropped that. Oh well. No ships for you, boy. Rip.
A non-romantic relationship that I love: THE ASTRAL EXPRESS. Sometimes a family is a retired Herrscher, the creator of The Dreaded Coffee™, a lonely dragon with autism, a calendar day in an ice cube, a funky ticking time bomb, and the bunny carrying the whole train on their back.
They are everything to me. Their groupchat is literally called The Astral Express Family. I love them your honor I hope they all live happy and peaceful and prosperous lives and hopefully don't get their 3rd stabbed member in a row when we head to the next planet. The Astral Express checks offs all the right boxes of wholesome and sweet for the found family enjoyer that is yours truly, which is just- mwah. I love them so so so much.
(Bonus shoutout to Bailu AKA the new little sister I mentioned a bit above. I NEED to see more of her and Dan Heng together, they're just adorable.)
The NOTP: Danmarch, Danstelle and Dancae. I just. don't see it. They're so sibling-coded to me, it feels off to see them in a romantic context.
My biggest headcanon about them: I think all Vidyadhara are cold-blooded by virtue of being dragons, so Dan Heng prefers to sleep on the floor of the archives because, given the amount of devices running in such a small space, it's always the warmest place on the Express. Or so he thinks until March drags him and Stelle for a sleepover in her room and builds a pillow fort. Turns out their newest member is actually a portable heater, and the pillows and blankets are also very warm and comfy too and- wait, what's that sweet feeling?
...Oh no.
Now he wants to try this again.
An idea for a fanfiction I would like to write/read about them: 5 times people smile at Dan Heng + the one time he smiles at them. Featuring me-typical express fam appearances, a sprinkle of Bailu and a dash of Jing Yuan, and maaaybe a hint of that one ghost from the past.
Now if only I can find something along those lines or figure out how to write it myself... hmm...
Something that makes me think of them: withered leaves, lotus blooms, small water ponds, zither music (idk), and, uh, Kaedehara Kazuha. Maple leaf windboy solidarity lmao

As I've been rereading MTMTE after finishing it maybe two weeks ago (and being completely emotionally destroyed) I've taken it upon myself to screenshot every silly tiny face I've seen, inspired by pioneers like the glorious blog @tiny-tf-faces.
Here are some of the ones I've collected.
Below the cut because this is an obscenely long post; I have a lot of the silly faces.
Tumblr media
A happy Highbrow. Not super small, but I thought he was cute.
Tumblr media
Ambulon, I believe looking over Swerve after he shot himself in the face.
Tumblr media
Chromedome, yelling to Fort Max.
Tumblr media
Swerve's beautiful artwork depicting Prowl. Brings tears to my eyes.
Tumblr media
Another small Chromedome.
Tumblr media
Prowl looking inconvenienced.
Tumblr media
I swear this is Tarn. I know it looks like a blob, but it's Tarn.
Tumblr media
The first of many pictures of Swerve. He's in the background of a lot of panels.
Tumblr media
Rung on one of the covers.
Tumblr media
I'm like...90% sure this is Skids, but it's really hard to tell. He had doorwings with the red windows though.
Tumblr media
Misfire with real big eyes.
Tumblr media
Whirlybird :D
Tumblr media
BLACK SHADOW LET'S GO BABYYYY underused king
Tumblr media
Tailgate being cute as usual.
Tumblr media
Brainstorm not lookin' too good here.
Tumblr media
Crankcase looking like a bug lmao
Tumblr media
Thundercracker, or, as the image file is labeled, "cracker boy".
Tumblr media
Another Crankcase.
Tumblr media
Overlord, looking like he drank too much last night.
Tumblr media
Red Alert is unimpressed.
Tumblr media
Dejected Tailgate :(
Tumblr media
Offended moustache man. (Minimus)
Tumblr media
Disgruntled Fulcrum. Notice that in pretty much all of Fulcrum's tiny-face panels the artists still managed to get his chin in. Can't contain a chin that powerful.
Tumblr media
Domey again! :D
Tumblr media
I think one of the last issues I went through was the Overlord arc, which is why there are so many Chromedomes here lol
Tumblr media
Thundercracker again.
Tumblr media
Dumb little Prowl.
Tumblr media
Pretty sure this is Highbrow again, and I just think he's pretty.
Tumblr media
Flywheels looking a little lost, as usual.
Tumblr media
More Flywheels looking lost.
Okay I've reached the image limit for this post, and we're only in the fs. Guess I'll just have to make a sequel or two :D

What do you MEAN it’s not Halloween anymore?! Aha that is INCORRECT.
Due to various reasons, I wasn’t able to finish this in time for Halloween. But I figured, you know what? NO. It WILL be complete. 
I tried to pick a combination of interests I was into this year vs things that I thought fit. Pigeon!Linda is Faye Valentine from Cowboy Bebop because I FINALLY watched it (I'm late to the party). Big tiddy power outfit. Arpeggio and Neyla are Ratau and the Lamb from Cult of the Lamb because I played that this year and tell me it's not accurate I dare you.
Linda is Hooty from The Owl House but mildly sexy because it was funny (I should have made it sexier but ya live and learn). She and Hooty would be friends 100%. Forte is Ichigo from Tokyo Mew Mew which I DIDN'T watch the remake of but I wanted to because I was obsessed with the OG for a brief period as a kid LMAO also because my friend Trist drew him as an anime maid gorl once and it was too amusing to not duplicate.
Akemi is Lady Dimitrescu because I apparently just like to draw people as her (she has a big hat and big claws and is a dragon??? thing?? So shut UP it FIT HIM). Almost drew him in his plane from Dragon Pilot because HA HA but I didn't want to draw plane parts leave me ALONE.
And lastly, we have Kailani dressed as Mako in her uniform and Feddy as Gamagori from Kill la Kill. This one is kinda funny because while watching it, when Gamagori showed up I was like "haha Feddy cause he big and has spikes teehee" and Shep looked at me all "Keep that in mind for later" and I was like "uh oh". I won't spoil that. If you know you know.
Also these are (roughly) accurate height comparisons between all of them, give or take because I had to bump the background chars up on the plane a bit to not obscure them. Kailani and Feddy are freakin' huge what the hell. Bigger than an entire dragon. Who woulda thought.

klara and toby :3 3, 5, 7, 8, 10, 13, 14, 18, 28, 30, 47, 51 hehehehe
YEAAAAAH THANK YOU
otp ask game
3 answered here 🥹 BUT!!!! something that came to my mind related to this is how there's this one* time how Toby went for lunch w Klara in the middle of a work day and basically when he returned to a lab he was wearing a shirt instead of his typical sweaters. Is it bc of the warm weather or something else 🤨
*read one as several times at least
5. Describe their cozy night in.
HEHEHE it's usually just sitting together/cuddling in their apartment's little reading corner while doing something, either playing board games/video games or reading together etc. Sometimes they just talk abt different things or just exist quietly next to each other, enjoying the time together.
Funny thing is that they have one (1) rule about it, which is basically "don't talk about work" during these moments hehehe :3 Another funny thing is that they rarely ever have sec there despite it seeming like a very nice and comfy place - maybe they just kinda see it as a fun relaxing place to hang out at?
Their tv is on a shelf that you can move around. Usually it's in the 'living room' part but they bring it to the reading corner and watch serials together or just have it on as a background noise. They also play video games there sometimes.
7. Would they build a pillow fort together just because?
You could call how their bed usually looks a pillow fort bc there is So Much Pillows there KFKKFKCEJFKFK they like soft places to cuddle on.
As for an actual pillow fort, I'd say yeah bc the spot their bean bag reading corner is at fits very well to make a blanket roof and stuff. They'd do it for fun or to cheer each other up.
8. What happens if one of them gets sick?
They do small helpful errands for each other, like doing things one was supposed to do but can't bc they're sick. They get each other fav comfort food and bring medicine and tons of water and other things that will make them feel better.
Toby tends to make chicken soup for Klara bc she likes it and he's heard how people mostly eat it when sick (he makes very tasty ones that Klara just loves sm, which is funny bc he's a vegetarian and doesn't eat it so he can't really test taste it). Toby tends to be scared of getting sick but if Klara's sick he tends to, like, spend a lot of time w her if she seems like she needs it, and sits somewhat close by and all. He usually puts on her favorite tv shows they can watch together and makes her tea :3 Watch him have an alcohol based hand rub w him all the time JFBKCKCKGK
Klara gets sicker much rarely than Toby for some reason and thus isn't also afraid to like, stay close to him and tbh she wouldn't even be afraid of cuddling w him lmao. Klara likes to make noodle soup or fried rice for him bc it's usually the only thing he can/wants to eat while sick. She also gets him popsicles bc Toby eats So Many of them when sick.
10. Do either try to hide their emotions if upset? Can the other still tell?
Mostly, no. BUT they both tend to do it when it's bc of something serious or very stressful (and basically when you'd think you need more comfort. lmao). They just "don't want to bother" the other w it and suffer in silence...
...or at least try to do that but, like, fail bc the other can usually tell something's wrong.
13. Who’s the bigger tease?
They both tend to tease each other every now and then but I'd say Klara.
14. How do their personalities compliment each other? How do they clash?
Klara tends to plan almost everything out before doing something, while Tobias tends to wing it most of the times (unless it's smth related to his job bc even he knows u shouldn't probably go improvise in a lab KFKKGGKCKGK) so when one is facing some kind of problem with their typical way to go, the other tends to offer help in some ways. Also helps when they want to do smth together and their 'plans' usually end up half planned half 'let's go by the vibes'.
Klara tends to be very determined and stubborn regared some things and rarely ever tends to leave things undone, which sometimes creates problems bc she wants to get something done and prioritizes it over everything else (including spending time w her spouse) or just simply doesn't notice how it's kinda impossible or will result in some kind of harm.
I think her some kind of "loyalty" for the corporation she's working for (despite not always agreeing w it) is also what brings some problems sometimes 😭
Toby tends to be very opinionated abt ethical/moral stuff and gets like, very upset if someone does smth he doesn't really view as "good" sjfjgkkcgkfkejfjfn
Klara's also a bit annoyed by Tobias's people-pleasing and overly accommodating personality but mostly bc she thinks it's not healthy for him to do so much things considering how exhausted he already is most of the time.
18. How likely are they to have fur babies? How many and what kind?
THEY'RE PROUD CAT PARENTS HEHE <3 They've had two cats. Klara adopted the first one before their relationship, a grey & white cat which the shelter lovingly/jokingly called "Wizard Lady" and then Klara ended up keeping it as an actual name. Toby, who volunteered at said shelter and grew a bit attached to said cat, also calls her Alice bc that's the cat's actual name lmaoo. They had to give Wizard Lady to their friend at some point bc of life situations (tm) though :(
They got Melody, a tabby cat, a few years later. Melody is more social and active and likes to be the center of attention which is easy considering how big cat lovers these two are. She's coming to Mars w them btw they got a special permit for that (what's tons of money when u get to take ur lil cat w u).
28. What are there thoughts on pet names? Do they have any?
They like them!!!!! They have similar preferences and basically mostly use "honey" or "darling". Klara absolutely despises anything like "baby" or "babe" JFJFJFFKKF
They also have nicknames for each other, Klara callind Toby "Sunshine" & Toby sometimes calls Klara "Cinnamon roll", THOUGH he specifically learned to say "Käraste", which is "most beloved" in Swedish just so he could call her that 🥺
30. Your OTP gets to pick out each other’s outfits; what is each wearing?
Klara's putting Toby into something he would love to wear but rarely does, something like a white turtleneck, black pants and his leather jacket.
Toby'd love to have Klara wear her dark red three piece suit bc she looks sooo good in it and she loves wearing it. Also he finds it fun to take it off. Wait who said that.
47. Does either of them have a secret that could potentially ruin their relationship?
Not really! They tend to be v open w each other and that's basically the most important part of their relationship sjfjfjfjjfkfkf
