Oops, I think my accidental art spam of reblogging other people’s PSMD artworks has got me on the agenda to try out drawing my own main team digitally for the first time (minus Cormac last month as I’ve already drawn him). Man, I reaaaaaallly wanna draw all four of my sillies, but hey, if you’re curious, here’s the main four I wanna draw together (if I can);
Cormac - PSMD Hero and my take on the protagonist (he’s a bean who can get edgy); you can tell he’s a Mudkip
Sprout - PSMD partner and hopefully I can draw him as a floofball. Loves Cormac with all of his heart, up until when he disappeared (ahhhh uni why do you gotta be in the way, I wanna draw partner dynamic 😭😭); he’s a Bulbasaur
Harmony - PMD Explorers protagonist and feels hurt in the presence of Cormac. These two have beef (I won’t elaborate why though 😏). Has heterochromia which means he has two different eye colours - in my headcanon, he witnesses his Dimensional Screams through one of his eyes and sometimes makes him feel split between the real world and his illusory mind. Angsty bean… must DRAW!!! He’s a Riolu.
Flurr - PMD Explorers partner and Harmony’s love interest. An Eevee who acts as an extrovert after having saved the world and attaches to Harmony like super glue stuck on a canvas. She’s never not seen without Harmony, unless you bring ‘em to the Kecleon shopping mall and then all hell breaks loose… many, many Swifts later… and yes, she also be floofy.
Hopefully I can draw the four of them at some point, but ahhhh drawing with mouse is scuffed for me so not sure how long it’ll take, ahhhhhh

my chnt swap AU will now be called
camp this and that
idea originally provided by @fall3nash2339
all info about characters+ art links under cut😋😋!!
(NEWWER DESIGNS WILL COME SOON, ALL OF THESE ARE FROM A SLIGHTLY OUTDATED STYLE)
all the characters have the same physical appearance (except for sydney), personalities and roles are changed
the nurses~
head nurse: Elijah Volkov, he makes all the announcements, and is mentally decaying. Boy oh boy, is he quite the man. Silly little bpd man, collected mental illness like Pokémon. But he's caring, and will do just about anything in his power to help the campers out when needed. He has a knack for elephants, likes sharing fun facts, not only about elephants but anything and everything. No filter😋 if he's thinking it, he'll say it, obviously nothing bad will come of that. Trust issues, yummy.
assistant nurse: Adam Uptin, always carrying snacks with him, he can get you to share how your parents wronged you then shove a bag of skittles in your hand and walk away. Adam isn't a fan of leaving the nurses cabin, let alone his side office, something about being a vampire and ""ahhhh the suns"",,etc etc. Although, you can lore him outside with some sunscreen, an umbrella, and an apple.
camp counselors (all camps stay the same)
Cabin Dung Beetle: Juniper Sloan. long neck, dirty blonde. British man, he's scared of the water (blah blah blah "i'm experiencing the past, present, and future all at once and i can't breathe." yadda yadda yadda) besides the meltdowns and break downs, he's pretty silly
Cabin Grasshopper : Marisol Yuchengco, 👁️dresses in gothic attire, but she's one of the most understating counselors you'll ever meet. Salem de La Marnierre, 👁️scene kid vibes, lowkey really chill though. The two are dating<3 (basically just the same as chnt, just,,, ya'know,, swapped.)
Cabin Magpie Moth: Rowan Chow, the goofiest mother fucker in the entire camp. He can actually produce sound effects, he doesnt choose them or when they happen, that's up to the universe, they just come from his general area. This man runs off of actual cartoon logic, dont question it.<3
Cabin Silkworm: Yvonne Marley, femcel. That is truly all i have to say about her. She pull's misinformation straight from the internet and spreads it like mold on moist bread. Joshua MacHeath, tictok eboy, he can make a killer flower necklace though. Joshua will sit with the kids who can't/won't participate in certain camp activities and teach them how to make bracelets out of, well, anything and everything!
Cabin Tarantula Hawk: Lucille Bertuccelli,👁️ she's an older counselor, a sweetheart though. Not only does she keep cabin tarantula hawk up am running, but she also is in charge of the arts and crafts cabin! Gracie Liu (👁️lowkey, i forgot gracie liu existed, so all of her color are just inverted. no matter how you picture her in ur brain, just invert the colors)
Cabin Ladybug : Soren Baltimore, 👁️a bit of a quiet lad, it wears a cape given to it by fennel. soren wears pants that are cover completely in pockets, those pockets are practically infinite, anything you can imagine, soren has it in its pockets. Fennel Marlborough, 👁️our favorite camp taxidermist (don't tell anyone) they have the art of life preservation down to a tea, now if they can only get em to start moving again. soren and fennel are tightly nit, they made up two languages, one between only them and the other for the entire cabin.
Cabin Widow-spider: Matthew Napoleon, 👁️he is the void, don't be scared of him just based on looks though. Matthew will teach you about things you thought you knew (you didn't). Because matthew cant actually talk, due to all that void, he communicates in a fun mixture of sign language, charades, and various static esc noises. Matthew is also involved, if not running, most water based activities (and sometimes juno+mila helps out around the cabin)
the cafeteria: Mila Alcorn 👁️and Juno Matsouka, 👁️i say "and" instead of giving the two separate descriptions because they are inseparable, trust me, i've tried. these two fish folk work together in the kitchen to provide food for all the campers at camp this and that. Practically gourmet chefs, these two are quite creative. Even though there's two of them, you'll never have to worry about chaos in the kitchen, mila and juno always compromise with each other, causing for some never before tasted flavors
special doodads
head of camp: Warren Earthman,👁️ he's a, stern, tired, grumpy, old man. also the walls in are covered with different brands and types of chainsaws. beside the threatening aspects of him, he also openly picks favorites and doesn't listen to anything that doesn't openly concern him or the government.
the rot: Sydney October Sargent, a weird rotting man who lives in the woods surrounding the camp. Don't get to close to him without a gas mask, please, the spores that emanate off of him are damn near hallucinogenic. Besides the skin falling off his bones, the various species of bugs living within him, and all the mushrooms/fungus living from his decomposing self, he's almost harmless. I mean, he's in shambles, a corpse who just won't let go, just try not to breathe near him.
Martime: Jedidiah A.M. Martime, a man who keep appearing in my dreams, I don't have dreams often, why is here, in color no less. this annoying, clock obsessed, not even real, man keeps trying to tell me that he's "here for you," and "it's ok, you can take a brake, you have enough time." what that man needs to do is pipe down and accept the fact he doesn't even exist in the physical plane.

Hold my head inside your hands I need someone who understands I need someone, someone who hears For you, I've waited all these years For you I'd wait 'til kingdom come Until my day, my day is done And say you'll come and set me free Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me
~*~*~
holy hell I think it's done? I don't normally do much fanart but my brother and I wanted to understand why all the tumblr girlies are so obsessed with these day old men so we binged this show which immediately grabbed me by the throat and hurled me into the gay old men fervor and wouldn't let me do anything else until I finished some kind of tribute ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ
few more process shots+thoughts beneath the cut ♥
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
okay so I know you have to be kinda careful about making someone's face all black... but I usually dislike clearly human halves on most monster designs, and red wouldn't work either, so I just kind of tried to lighten it closer to the orangey scales on his snake face and hope it worked out?
you can see the other design ideas I had for naga!crowley in the thumbnail sketch but it diverged enough that actually I'm gonna probably just keep that as a separate design for perhaps a future character, like a tiefling/salamander npc for the next campaign perhaps 🤔
this one took a lot longer than usual due to trying to actually somewhat accurately capture an existing person's face, trying to put more effort into detailing the scales, and a style of hair I don't draw as often haha. wahoo @ being able to rather fittingly apply my monsterpeople habits to some fanart for once :)
I immediately threw together a playlist for them that I keep listening to on repeat and "til kingdom come" is the last song on there, which has been giving me blorbo heart hurty for over a decade now
genuinely felt a tangible kind of relief like 'ahhhh...' when I finished the lines cause this art was all-consuming til I let it out 8') I really really wanna keep drawing these two but feel like a week or two is all I can reasonably take away from commissions at the moment... but if I can power through another real quick maybe I'll allow myself some smorching doodles heehee

gangs favorite classes🫶🥰🫡☝️🤓
i keep taking breaks from tumblr but i’m really tryna get back in the swing of things🙏
ponyboy:
ahhhh i haven’t reread the book in a while but he probably mentions classes he likes or he doesn’t like
ik he has like a D in his creative writing class or smth but that’s cause he don’t like the restrictions that come with writing for an assignment
in reality i feel like he is an english guy overall
also gives history ngl
more social studies classes
8/10 hes real for that
johnny:
elective guy thru and thru
like photography, art, ceramics, graphic design, etc
he might be amazing at these artsy classes
and that’s why he likes them OR
he just loves the chill classroom vibe yk
also he likes the kids in there too
i feel like johnny gets so annoyed with louder socs who mess around in the classes he likes
cause my guy is actually respectful🫶🙏
10/10 so valid honestly, like photo is fr my favorite class and i feel like johnny would totally fw that
sodapop:
language classes
like spanish, french, german, whatever floats your boat
i think he likes the funny atmosphere of everyone kinda messing up whenever they’re put on the spot to speak in class
just cause no one really cares
ALSO DESTROYS during presentations btw
like either he’s genuinely good
or he just keeps messing up and giggles abt it so much that the teacher starts yelling at him abt it
genuinely has a dgaf mindset to school in general which is very admirable
6/10 i hate my spanish 2 class but its ok😭🙏
darry:
sports med / sports weights
OR anatomy
like he just enjoys sports so anything that relates to that he finds really interesting
he likes the helping people aspect of sports med
and i’m in sports med as well which is actually so fun ngl
he eats with that
always crushes tests
i think he really studies for tests and actually tries
which allows him to get good grades🤓☝️
but he couldn’t care less abt classes he doesn’t like
7/10 valid
dally:
pretends to not give a shit but we know he does when it comes to the gang
bc of this, his fave classes are whatever he has the most friends in
other than that he thinks all classes are terrible and they all feel like years
math guy when he actually understands the concept
but the second things get hard he just gives up
“who needs these hyperbolas anyways man🙄”
lives for lunch and after school cause he just walks around and talks
or fights with other kids but we don’t talk abt that
6/10 im the same way abt math
two-bit:
any class where he can mess with the teacher
like either the teacher is chill and jokes around with him
OR the teacher actually sucks and two just makes them even more mad
lives for class laughter
like soda he enjoys more participation based classes, less the actual content
somehow he always gets sat in the desk right next to the teachers desk so they can keep an eye on him
barely ever gets to sit next to his friends for obvious reasons LMAO
7/10 also valid
steve:
obviously auto mechanic if the school offers it
otherwise he gives a science kid
like biology, physics, anatomy, stuff like that
his brain is just the type to get it
so those classes are barely hard for him
which is SO LUCKY
he the type to just go off about some technical concept the class is going over and explain it perfectly to his friend who needs help and then make a your mom joke the next minute
5/10 i hate physics and i hate how he’d be better at it than me
ANYWAYS REQUEST STUFF PLS🫶😋‼️
(btw i’m going thru requests rn so dw!!)

Hello! Could I request hanzo and kiriko baking with their fem s/o (I thought it would be adorable making doughnuts w kiriko 😭) also btw I love ur writing so much!! ❤️
Baking HCs - Hanzo, Kiriko.
Hanzo
Honestly, bit a great baker, but MAN THIS MAN CAN DECORATE.
Simple geometry
I feel like Hanzo is stupidly good at tedious art, like cake decorating things people might get frustrated with very easily.
You be he does little origami animals on top of some cupcakes you two made.
Get ready for him to go scarlet in the face if you lick or wipe off some frosting with your thumb off his cheek.
Wraps an arm around you and watches you knead the dough in fascination
I feel like his actually favorite thing to bake is cookies.
No clue why, but hanzo would absolutely fuck with choclate chip cookies fr.
Will pretend to like raisin cookies to seem refined, but in truth, he hates them with his whole being.
Tumblr media
Kiriko
Ahhhh our favorite donut girl
Not a great baker, as much as she'd like it to be so, you're Def going to have ti teach her alot.
If you're both terrible, then she'll at least be fun to experiment with!
Good decorator, but not as crazy as Hanzo
Does cute little designs on the donuts from charms to little foxes!
LOVES to wrap her arms around you from behind while you bake.
Beware of this flirtatious fox she will find any excuse to kiss some frosting off of your face.
Is SUCH a cheater, she uses her own magic to clean herself up from the baking mess
DEF LICKS ANY SORT OF DOUGH/ FROSTING OFF THE SPOON
Actually this goes for all shimadas!
Tumblr media
A/n: Ah! Thank you so much! Thays so sweet of you! I know it's been a while, but I needed something fluffy to write!

For Better and Definitely for Worse
Tumblr media
Ahhhh! My first fic in forever! A double fill for @badthingshappenbingo “vomiting” square and for @tarlosmonthlyprompts custom bingo “Grand Designs and Cuddles”. @noxsoulmate thank you for the beta and the title. 😘 thank you for reading!
🤢🤢🤢🤢
Carlos parks the Camaro as close to the bay doors as he can without actually being in the way, should an actual emergency occur while he’s inside.
He slips inside unnoticed and hurries up the stairs, running into Owen on the landing.
“Hey, how is he?” Carlos asks.
Owen shrugs and pats him on the shouler. “Good luck,” is his response. “But let me know if you need anything. I have a killer recipe for-”
“We will let you know, thank you,” Carlos says, ducking into the bunkroom.
Nancy and TK are both curled up on individual bunks with their backs to each other. Tommy is sitting at the edge of Nancy’s bunk, trying to get her to drink some water.
“Hey, guys,” Carlos says softly.
“Hi babe,” TK whispers. “We’re dying.”
Tommy rolls her eyes. “You’re not dying.”
“We’re dying,” Nancy agrees.
Carlos steps up to the bunk and runs a hand through TK’s hair. It’s sweaty and matted to his face but Carlos still presses a soft kiss to the top of his head. “So, what force of nature was strong enough to take down the most bad-ass paramedics I know?”
“The new deli on Columbus,” Tommy says, then adds, “Food poisoning.”
“Oh, shit,” Carlos murmurs. “How long does that take to clear up?”
“Twenty-four to forty-eight hours and he should start feeling like himself again. Bedrest should be fine, and you can give him some over the counter meds but keep him hydrated.”
Carlos nods solemnly. “Nance, do you need a ride home too?”
“I’m taking her home with me tonight,” Tommy says. “I just wanted to make sure you got TK picked up okay.”
“I’ve got him,” Carlos promises.
TK sits up too fast and groans pitifully; he braces his elbows on his knees and sucks in a couple deep breaths. He reaches out a hand and feels around blindly; Carlos grabs the emesis bag and shoves it under TK’s face and holds it for him while he vomits.
“Sorry,” TK murmurs. Carlos rubs his back, gently, and TK leans heavily against him.
Carlos winces as behind them, Nancy is also puking her guts out.
“Come on,” Carlos says, “let’s get you home.”
Tommy promises to clean up the bunk room, leaving TK to apologize pitifully again. Carlos grabs TK’s duffel and slings it over his shoulder, while steadying TK with his other hand. Tommy hands him another emesis bag for the road.
“Better take two, actually,” TK mutters. Carlos agrees and grabs a second bag, stuffing them both in his pocket.
Together, they make it out of the bunk room. TK climbs down the stairs slowly, with Carlos’ hand on the small of his back. He slides into the Camaro while Carlos tosses his bag in the back andby the time Carlos joins him, TK’s sitting stiffly in the seat, eyes closed and groaning softly.
“Hand me your seatbelt,” Carlos prompts.
TK takes a second but waves him off. “I’ve got it,” he mumbles. Carlos watches as he secures his seatbelt and then he does the same before pulling out on the road.
They have to pull over twice so TK can puke and Carlos isn’t quite sure how he can have anything left to get rid of; but maybe he doesn’t since the second time they stop, TK just dry heaves into the bag until Carlos coaxes him back into the car so they can finish their drive home.
Finally, they make it back to the loft, and TK slowly makes his way into the building and into the elevator, with Carlos close behind. They have the elevator to themselves and mercifully, the movement doesn’t make TK sick again.
As soon as Carlos unlocks the door, TK hurries inside and makes a beeline for the bathroom, stepping out of his shoes and dropping his hoodie on the floor along the way.
Carlos grabs his phone and finds his grocery delivery app. He knows his husband’s favorite flavor of Gatorade and orders half a dozen, some Pepto, saltines, and a case of water, leaving a hefty tip with the promise of more if they can deliver in less than an hour. Although the store’s not far, he’ll pay a little extra if it means not leaving TK home alone.
He puts TK’s shoes in the closet and cleans out his duffel bag, stashing it away until the next shift TK’s well enough to attend, although he knows it’ll be a few days.
Carlos grabs a bottle of water and TK’s pajamas, and then knocks on the door.
“Please don’t come in,” TK begs.
“I have water for you,” Carlos says.
The door opens a crack, just enough for TK to stick his hand through. Carlos hands him the items and TK murmurs a thank you before slamming the door shut again.
Carlos isn’t really sure what to do, other than stay close in case TK needs him, and he sits down on the sofa to wait. The groceries arrive in less than 45 minutes and Carlos shoves the Gatorade and some water in the fridge, glad to have something to do.
He decides to make himself some toast while he’s in the kitchen, so TK doesn’t have to watch him eat later and he also texts to check up on Nancy, knowing TK will want to know how she’s holding up.
Owen calls twice to check up on TK and honestly, Carlos is a little surprised he doesn’t just stop by the loft. Carlos assures him TK is fine and he seems to accept that answer, but tells Carlos to call him if they need anything.
Carlos finally relaxes when he hears the shower start and it isn’t long until TK emerges from the bathroom after that. He’s in the pajamas Carlos had given him, his hair is damp, and he still looks miserable.
“Hey, baby,” Carlos says.
TK whines and shuffles towards the couch. He curls up on his side, resting his head on Carlos’ lap. Carlos pulls the throw blanket off the back of the couch and covers his husband with it.
“Want to watch some TV?” Carlos asks, hoping to distract him long enough that maybe he can fall asleep.
TK nods and Carlos grabs the remote, turning the television onto reruns of their favorite show.
“Hey, let me get up and I’ll grab you some water or something,” Carlos offers.
TK shakes his head and snuggles impossibly closer to Carlos. “I’m okay,” he says. “I think. Have you heard from Nancy?”
“She’s doing okay too,” Carlos tells him, while running his fingers through TK’s hair. “Tommy says she hopes you feel better soon and your next two shifts are covered. And I’ve called in too.”
“You didn’t have to do that,” TK whispers. “But I’m glad you did.”
Carlos chuckles and slips his hand under the blanket, rubbing TK’s side.
While TK watches the TV, Carlos watches TK. He makes it just past the second commercial break before his eyes slip closed. Carlos relaxes just a little bit more and settles in. He’s a little too old to sleep on the couch - they both are - and he knows his back will scream at him tomorrow. But for now, he closes his eyes and hopes TK sleeps through the night.

Agsudisg I'm so glad you liked it, Kazi, I literally sat down the moment I finished reading and started drawing cuz you freaking killed me, I MEAN, vox being stubborn and denying help, and Alastor stubbornly giving him the aid he needs, but crouched in their respective toxic egos and self-image? So delicious. Alastor, who needs to know why he was left behind, and vox who's desperately pouring himself into the new thing... Ahhhh...
The part where he implies he really was running off to die...and Alastor goes all soft...the shared frequency, the antenna petting... I reread that multiple times bc it's so good...and the claws, the claws, vox denies wanting help from alastor to the last, but the claws!
(also we tots need full seasons and reruns of 'Let's Shit on Vox', I bet Alastor even encourages to call in with more info, not that anyone would bc they're too scared. Hey, does carmilla have to listen his obsession LOL)
Btw for the artist questions, if you want, 9, 14, 30?
YOU NEVER FAIL TO MAKE ME GUSH, ES AAAA...oh lemme tell you when I lock-in, i do NOT fuck around with toxic old men yaoi. When I get better at writing, I hope to capture all their glory✨
I have never really written in this particular weird genre, I don't even know what to call it? Disgustingly intimate love/hate? At least, that's what I aspire for it to be XD
Heheh the part where "Alastor goes all soft" is also a little on the part of RR!AU characterization, so it's a bit exaggerated. He's trying to ween his way in appealing to Vox again, but RR!AU Vox is just so tired. Alastor keeps bringing up the past....This was kind of a wacky scenario to write because it does skip/make you infer a lot of stages of development, but the AU is close enough to canon that I think it's not far to imagine filling in the gaps hhh....
LMFAO yes, Alastor def encourages call-ins, "The 'Let's Shit on Vox' show, your one-stop opportunity to diss Hell's most saturated overlord!" -- on the rare occasion someone actually called in, Alastor killed whoever said something off about Vox that wasn't to his "flavor" of hate.
Carmilla has already read through these two idiots and just rolls her eyes at their immaturity. If she's there for Alastor's radio show, she's just in the background, utterly done and convinced they're playing everything up for entertainment at this point. Now that has me thinking, if Alastor ever started feeling something unfamiliar and god-forbid genuinely *good*(????), he would probably consult Rosie or Carmilla for it first........and Vox would ask Charlie.....oh..........
Aaaand Artist Questions under the cut, TYSM for the ask <33
9. What are your file name conventions?
I have terrible file organization. Many of them are named "a", "aa3", "asgv", "fhgh", or other random keyboard smashes. Recently, I have a bad habit of naming files "sketch1", "sk1", "skht1", or some misspelled way-- it's gotten so bad I'm up to "sketch22".... I find things by icon only.
14. Any favorite motifs?
Straight edges and shapes, maybe? I started drawing with an anime style though I'm mostly into western media-- I think it's very satisfying to have nice shape design/silhouettes though, but I don't draw in a super cartoony or exaggerated style so it's kind of hard to tell that I like and have fun doing it. I'm kind of scattered and like to dip my foot into everything unfortunately.
30. What piece of yours do you think is underrated?
None really, but if I had to pick one for HH, maybe this one.
For my older art, definitely this one. I mean, I don't love it anymore, but I really thought I ATE with the concept at the time.

Hiii chim, I'm sorry that you're going through a rough time, and I hope that things get better for you soon ;^;
also this is kind of entirely random but I've been following you for some months now, but it was only JUST NOW when I was clicking on your blog trying to think of a question, that I took proper notice of the sticker shop banner you have on your pinned (despite, seeing it all the time orz) AND SAW THAT YOU HAD SALLY FACE STICKERS ON THERE!! I didn't know that was something you like/liked!! :D But that's really awesome to see to me ahhhh it's one of my favorite games
also also I absolutely ADORE the design you made for Gilda, it goes SO HARD and it just looks so good I have to do a double take whenever I see her because, gosh, what she does to my heart is unfair >A<
I'm not great at coming up with questions, but, you mentioned in I think the last poll for Randy and Imani about the trope of fretting over ruining the friendship you have with someone when you catch feelings for them, so my first question is: who would have worse anxeity over their feelings for the other screwing up their friendship, between the two of them?
second question, of all the art you've done for The Tenderness She Gives (which, is a wonderful name for it honestly, it hits me in the heart so strongly), which has been your favorite? :3c
Ohh my god that's such a sweet message, thank you... <3
Funnily, the shop still isn't open. I wanna finish 2-3 more stickers before opening up again. But yes, I do love Sally Face and will definitely play when the second game comes out. I actually also drew a lot of fanart for it and probably will again once the next game comes out. The general tag list is here if you're curious.
And thank you regarding Gilda <3 as mentioned, I am really surprised she got such a positive feedback. I like her design but didn't anticipate people going nuts over her lmao. I saw way more tags/comments about her compared to other art.
Regarding Randy and Imani and that trope - god I'm such a huuuuuuge sucker for it... I imagine Imani as very curious and experimental in nature so I don't see her being that anxious about it. But then again, I think I love Randy falling for her pretty early on in their teenage years and covering it with jokes and over-the-top and thus not serious flirting. I can see Randy being anxious for years to not advance anything in their friendship because she can tell Imani doesn't have feeling for her. Yet - because I like to think Imani starts to get flustered once Randy is well-known secure in her job as deputy captain. Honestly I could see Imani need a nudge into the right direction from all other women fawning over Randy. As in, she probably only starts to see Randy's romantic potential once she actually starts paying attention outside of their friendly banter. (I imagine her head is always all over the place so she just doesn't see Randy in any intimate/romantic way before). But after that, she definitely also has anxiety over making a move. Not as much as Randy though.
As for the fave pieces.... I actually adooooore the two butches and have been cursing myself for not drawing them more.
Tumblr media
For Imani and Randy I really like the teenage doodle I made for the poll here. I just like their younger versions in the sketch <3

your welcome home oc is so CUTE! i want to know more about them like where did you get inspiration from to create them and like how you come up with such an adorable name like that 😭💖 istg this fandom is so creative and fun
ahhhh oh my goodness this is so nice of you!!!! thank you so much 🙈🙈 it makes my heart really happy that you like Cynthie Scribe so much!!! 🥰
i agree, i absolutely love the wonderful OCs everyone has come up with, they're so inventive 😖 i'm gonna pop this under a read more as i rambled a little - putting waaay too much thought into OCs is a favourite thing to do 😂
oooh, those are some great questions!! i really love making OCs for my favourite characters, and i adore trying to come up with characters who gel well with the canon of that character's universe. for Cynthie, i knew immediately i wanted a writer character, because who better to pair with our beloved puppet artist? 🥴 almost all of my OCs made for shipping purposes have a little bit of me in them, and given how much i've written for Wally, it only felt right to make a fun writer for him :3c
the name actually had a lot of thought put into it 😂 like all of the Welcome Home characters (not counting Home), i gave Cynthie a first and second name, with the first name being a more general, regular name and the surname being applicable to who they are. Wally's a Darling, Poppy's a Patridge, Sally's a Starlet...you get the idea 😉
as for the rest of Cynthie's design, i went through a few different iterations until i settled on something that fit! i already made a Muppets character before (Sagan, who I ship with Dr Bunsen Honeydew 😳) and i didn't want to repeat the colour scheme despite them being very colourful indeed! i usually draw my self-insert self as having green hair, so i used that and went for red skin in line with the kinds of colours that other Welcome Home and Muppets characters have - replicating the contrast Wally has between his yellow skin and blue hair 😉
something i'm interested in is the rhythm of names; about half of the Welcome Home characters have names with two syllables per name (How-dy Pill-ar, Ju-lie Joy-ful, etc.) and the other half have names with one syllable and then two, or vice versa (Frank Frank-ly, Edd-ie Dear, etc.). so when naming Cynthie, i knew i needed a name which fit into one of those rhythms, or it would stick out like a sore thumb! i'd been toying with naming a character Cynthia for quite some time, but that wasn't sitting right...and then it hit me! as far as we know, Wally isn't short for anything, but lots of the Welcome Home characters have names that end with the 'ee' sound (Wally, Julie, Eddie, etc.)...hence, Cynthie Scribe was born! 🔥💖
for the clothes, where Wally is deeply stylish, i wanted Cynthie to have something more haphazard and whimsical - dungarees seemed like a great, practical choice!! those little circles over the straps are actually stickers, which they love to give out to their friends 🥰
now at this point, i felt that Cynthie's design was lacking a little something: i wanted to keep the cute, cropped-and-curvy hair, but felt they needed another distinctive feature. then it hit me - someone like Cynthie likely keeps pens in their hair, always handy to write with!! i finished the design by completing the rainbow and adding the yellows and blues to their outfit, as well as a little heart nose to show off their romantic side :3c
haha, i hope this answers your question!! thank you very much for asking about Cynthie - i hope this is inspiring if you're looking to create your own Welcome Home OC 🥰

Honestly thanks to you now I know more about fate and naruto than I ever hoped to or than I ever needed to but it is an educational experience! (Also why are new fate characters just...recolored versions of old ones are they like shiny pokemon)
Ahhhhhhhhhh it makes me happy that you read what I have to say about fate stuff (I used to talk more about it/ make more in depth posts/threads but orz…!!! Especially on twitter (long ass threads omg. I stopped because I felt like no one would read them because they were only their for porn anyway *sobbing* but I want to get back to doing so since I do love fate and I miss talking about it on their too.) but I am content with sharing my opinions about how I feel about it and certain characters from time to time.
Fate as a franchise might seem a bit overwhelming to even jump into because of how MUCH content there is of it but trust that when I say that once you actually give any of the works a chance, you’ll really be able to understand just why so many people love it with all their hearts. Even works created by type moon that aren’t fate related. (Which fate had been drawn from anyway!)
The fun thing about fate is that majority of the individual works typically stand on their own. So it isn’t that much of a big deal to simply jump into most fate works as someone who isn’t all that familiar with anything that has to do with it! (Some might require you to at least be knowledgeable of certain characters from older works but even when that is the case, it’s really not that all of a big deal since you’ll be experiencing the characters differently for the most part, and there has been quite a few times where a character who’d previously appeared in one fate work, had made an appearance in another but there might be slight changes regarding their character (possibly because of the influences of others, their past experiences, memories, if they have any, and so on) while still retaining all of the same charm that made fans remember why they loved them so much in the first place. It’s so… ahhhh… (Gilgamesh is a great example of this. He’s an easily lovable character, though, this might heavily depend on what work that you are first introduced to where he’s in it.)
Also, I’m not quite sure what fate characters that you could be talking about ToT (maybe the recent new characters that have either made their debut in the BRAND NEW HIT TYPE MOON GAME, FATE/SAMURAI REMNANT, NOW IN STORES ACROSS THE WHOLE WIDE and is playable on multiple platforms-
Akakakakak (I’m still at the beginning of the game ahhh!!! I love all of the character designs so much and can’t wait to meet them all for myself 🥹!!!) But since I’ve been sharing posts featuring them recently, I’ll just assume that you’re referring to FSR related content!
And NO! They are not recolored, shinny Pokémon sksks. (Funny that you mentioned this since type moon hired the artist who designed all of the Pokemon trainers (I’m guessing but I’m not all that familiar with Pokémon stuff, only as a normie basically), and I now see the recent vocaloid collab, has designed two servants for FGO in the past. Well, technically three…)
Some FGO and FSN characters make appearances in the new game (idk how critical their roles are yet since like I’ve previously stated, I’m still at the very beginning of the game and have been avoiding spoilers. But fate has always been known for splurging and hiring tons and tons of artists to design the artwork for the servants. This goes the same for the multiple spinoff manga as well since most of the fate manga are drawn by different artists with varying styles. (Fate/Type Redline, Fate/Strange Fake, Fate/Grand Order: Epic of Remnant - Shimousa for example, are all manga drawn by completely different artists! The mangaka for the Shimousa manga is also the character designer for the Fate/Samurai Remnant game as well! Love her style so much! I also would HIGHLY recommend checking out all of these as someone who might be even a little bit interested in fate as a beginner sjsjs. They’re all stand alone so there is no need to worry about being confused and lost!!!)
It’s just nice to see artists with such varying styles breathe life into the characters. And like, you will just look at them and go “even though the artists approach might’ve been completely different, overall, it is STILL the same character and I still love them the same even though they might look a little different ^^.” So if you’re familiar with characters like Cu Chulainn, and Gilgamesh in passing, especially, since they do appear in the new game and are two of the oldest fate characters to be present in it, then you’ll get what I mean. All stand alone!
As for Naruto… *looks away* I’ve been a Naruto fan since it first hit the US back in like what, 2005…. Lord……. I feel like it’s beyond nostalgia for me at this point no matter how ridiculous it may sound asjaja. It’s like, not the best thing ever like, AT ALL, BUT, Kishimoto’s stupid ass was definitely feeling himself when he wrote both Naruto and Sasuke’s individual characters. He then went on to eventually throw the both of them into the trash bin when Boruto was doo dooed out into the world but that is for another day. He really did put his whole soul into N and S while shitting all over the paper when it came to writing majority of the rest of the cast and story if I’m being honest 🗿!!! All YOU have to know is that Sasuke was CORRECT and that both he and Naruto deserved so much better. They deserved better childhoods - they deserved to enjoy their youth and not spend the majority of their youth suffering because of the pain and trauma that they’d been forced to experience and endure. And They deserved someone who would love and not hurt them. I’m so glad that they found each other because oh my god…

ffxiv 4.1
why's kugane the hub city for stormblood. Narratively Ishgard made sense for Heavensward because Heavensward is the story of Ishgard and the location features prominently in the plot. However the story of Stormblood is the story of Doma and Ala Mhigo's fight for independence if anything the two cities should have unlocked after beating 4.0. Kugane also makes a bizarre choice for a hub city from a lore perspective given how Hingashi is known to be isolationist
msq time! yeah i was wondering about the leadership question for ala mhigo. narrative direction seems to be going towards lyse but i do not think lyse makes a good leader and then she'd have to drop out of the plot and scions. politically raubahn makes a lot of sense for reasons i have already stated so far the writers haven't hinted they're going down this path
I wonder is skalla preserved anything the same way the dead sea scrolls were preserved by the salt.
the choices foldora's parents made mirror some of the choices we saw the domans made in that it really was the only way to survive, but doing so also further ensnared their nation as a whole and worsened the lived of everyone. watching your kind loving father get stoned to death by an angry mob would traumatize anyone really. its foldora's mom that has completely bought into the garlean propoganda and when its perfect that when she goes to them for protection when she needs then the most the garleans let her husband die to the mob and her daughter be stoned.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
and how do you think the non hyur or the beastmen feel. i understand her mother though, she sold out ala mhigo so to protect foldora so that her daughter wouldn't be conscripted and wouldn't be forced to fight and there she goes joining the army anyways.
Tumblr media
this probably got the strongest emotional reaction out of me out of the entire game so far
oh we are having a raubahn arc! as much as raubahn makes sense as a leader ala mhigo would unify under there's a lot waiting back for him in uldah. he's got many positions and responsibilities from the flames to the syndicate. his son is there and nanamo is basically his daughter. but at the same time they're both grown and pipin has proven himself capable of leading the flames.
can I say that nanamo's really brave. she's not a fighter she got fake assassinated/poisoned for months and she still wants to participate in politics.
you want me to go to the literal other side of the world to talk to a merchant instead of literally anyone in uldah the city of merchants. besides the east alderd trading company is run by lolorito you can't walk 3 steps without running into one of lolorito's men in ul'dah.
oooh girl do not help the monopoly. you got the advice now look for smaller salt businesses.
I'm surprised by the lack of fighting in this patch. i guess this is a shift in game design from arr where they wanted you to fight everything. for example in salt town the devs could have had you demonstrate to wildred how to kill monsters instead of just pointing out the weakpoints.
hmm so in the end it was personal. nanamo saved raubahn's life by chance but that was likely one of the darkest periods of his life and he swore an oath. if only the paladin quests could be this interesting.
representative government! republic! (ahhhh now if only doma did the same...). i do like how they showed a little bit of the messiness because real world tends to be messier. most irl revolutions devolve quickly into a series of worse military dictatorships.
huh what happened to that bit about letting him choose. i mean i guess raubahn felt like he had to honor his oath instead of doing what he actually wanted.
hmmm. wait we're not putting raubahn to work. he's one of the best generals on the continent if not the world and ala mhigo is in need of 1. an army given eorzea's stance on garlemald. 2. any sort of law enforcement, security, or organization given the power vaccum left by the imperials. 3. really any security look what just happened at the first council meeting. 4. governance raubahn has experience on the syndicate now too. oh no i wouldn't let him go back to being any old mercenary you aren't getting away.
yeah good they putting raubahn to work.
the rooftop garden is still intact? didn't the battle with zenos and the giant primal trash the place. hey there's a unique chamber orchestra arrangement of the ala mhigo theme up here.

Fic Notes: ahhhh man i’m nervous about this one. also reminder that the idea of Knight!Rilla and Herbalist!Damien invaded my brain courtesy of the designs by @thetrainfromnowhere​ !!! This fic is basically a follow-up to the first one in the series, but that one stood alone fairly well so i didn’t want to make THAT a chaptered thing. This one, however, will takes some… time, to work through. Title from the song Trust, by Lucy Dacus. Love That Album…..
Chapter Summary: Another cup of tea with the herbalist.
Chapter Notes: doing my best after yet another 6 day work week. whenever there's a monday bank holiday my fucking boss takes himself a nice four day weekend and MY week drags out from wednesday to monday. death despair dismemberment et cetera. anyway im FINE and the writing was okay today, actually. wanted to get this next one out for a while. Sir Rilla!! i love her!!!
~
The tea is... fine. Rilla thinks that maybe Damien tried to make it a little stronger for her, actually. Longer steep time, or more leaves, or- whatever, she isn't sure. But it does taste a little less like nothing.
She doesn't mention it.
She doesn't mention much of anything, actually. She lets Damien lead the conversation, happy to pretend that it's a genuine choice and not a matter of not knowing what the fuck to say to him. He seems content enough, or at least willing to take it as a win just have her sit down with him again.
He talks mostly about Marc and Tal, for the first while, and his worry about their well-being while they're off adventuring and Damien is... here, in his cottage, mixing medicines and meditating and reading.
"It's almost as if Marc delights in making me worry," he half-sings, smiling towards the window, and Rilla's stomach does a weird little twist.
"That doesn't sound out of character," she mutters. "He likes being a pain in the ass."
Damien's smile widens, fond, and he glances towards her. Her own mind fills in the thought, must run in the family, though Damien doesn't actually say it. She buries a laugh anyway.
"It's easy to feel attached," he murmurs after a moment or two, his hands curled around his mug as it gently steams. "Responsible, perhaps. But it isn't as if I can do anything for them while they are out from under my roof, of course. All I can do is make the medicines Marc needs, and ensure that I'm here and ready, when they do need help."
Rilla rolls that thought over in her head slowly, then sighs. "That... sounds like plenty to me. More than most people would do." She pauses as Damien ducks his head, his expression tilting into something shy and grateful. "More than any of the Citadel doctors ever did," she adds in a vicious hiss.
"Hm," Damien says with a tone of agreement. "A combination of prejudice, lack of training, and unquestioned tradition have not particularly helped the situation," he says wryly. "I'm only glad that I could help."
Rilla doesn't know what to say to that.
(Her own early experiments into painkillers to help Marc, before-)
She shakes her head. They lapse into silence for a while, but- Damien doesn't seem bothered. He picks the conversation back up when it feels natural, telling her about a time early in his friendship with Marc, when it was Tal who wound up hurt. Only a dislocation, thankfully, but-
"It was the first time that I had ever seen Marc treat a situation with complete seriousness," Damien murmurs, his eyebrows knitting together with a wry sort of fondness. "I had seen him injured a number of times previous to that, but he had taken every injury with humor and apparent lack of care. When it came to his brother, however..." he sighs. "It was then that I realized that he truly did trust me, and... I was grateful, for that. Grateful to have people I could call friends, and all the more grateful that I could keep them healthy, hale, and hearty."
They've never told Rilla any of that. The fact that Marc's been hurt that many times, the fact that Talfryn even got hurt in their questing without Rilla-
She would have told them to stop, is the thing. She would have told them to stop running off on their own and to just stick with her, where they could protect each other.
But they aren't exactly going to prove themselves into their own knighthoods if they're always on Rilla's heels. They all know that. She tries to stay close to them anyway, but... sometimes it just doesn't work out.
"Ah, I apologize," Damien says, his lip curling into a self-conscious smile when she blinks and glances towards him again. "I fear I have steered the conversation into rather more self-indulgent territory. What I mean to say, I think, is that I care rather dearly for your brothers, and I am always glad to hear that they are doing well."
Something else Rilla doesn't know how to respond to. She tries a nod; that seems safe enough, and takes a longer sip from her mug to avoid the need to speak for a little bit longer.
He doesn't seem like he's too bothered.
The conversation continues to meander (Rilla can't help but imagine the twisting banks of the river out back), Damien rambling about his day, his recent trouble with some pests in his garden, a bird species he couldn't quite identify before it flitted away...
Shockingly, Rilla doesn't find herself bored. Maybe it's just refreshing to talk to - listen to - someone who isn't another meathead knight, someone who wants to say something besides bragging about his latest kill or new weapon or civilian conquest or some other bullshit. He's a weirdly good talker, for someone who lives way out here on his own. Maybe he just saves all his storytelling energy up for when he does have visitors, or something.
At some point, and she really isn't sure how it happens, after the fact, but- at some point she winds up showing off some scars. It's just a bite mark on her wrist at first, but he makes this wide-eyed face, all pouting distress, and it's just so funny and, well, cute that she just keeps going.
Nothing untoward, to use a word that Damien would probably pick, but- she's got more arm wounds than body shots anyway. She's usually pretty damn good at blocking. He must have gotten a look at some of them when she was out cold the first time she came here, but obviously it's different when she isn't actively bleeding and she's awake to explain how they happened.
She's got a particularly nasty burn splashed across her left shoulder, a more recent addition, and Damien makes a noise when he sees it, a tiny breathless... whine, maybe? And he purses his lips into such a sad little frown that Rilla can't really help herself. She laughs- cackles, in fact, and shoots the herbalist a sharp sort of grin as he tries to plead with her with only his face.
"I don't know what you're giving me that face for, Damien," she says, still half-laughing. "I can't exactly do anything about it now. It's just a scar."
Damien huffs. "No, yes, of course I know that, but that does not mean such a sight-" he pauses, huffs again, shakes his head and hops up to stand from the table, turning to the shelves on the opposite side of the room from the kitchen. "I could make a cream for that, in fact," he tosses over his shoulder, his face focused and intent, now. "I imagine it still itches, at times, yes? It looks as if it healed decently, but a little bit of care..."
It does still itch, actually. Now that he mentions it.
Rilla stands as well, more slowly. She tries to make the motion look lazy, and not just like she's half-wincing against her more recent injury, which seems like a stupid thing to do after the fact, considering that Damien isn't even looking at her. He's too intent on a bunch of jars of herbs, and bottles of liquid solutions he pulls from a different cabinet.
"You really don't have to do that," she tries, though she has a feeling that it's already a lost cause.
"Nonsense!" he chimes, confirming her suspicions as he continues pulling things out of his cabinets and cupboards with the grace and confidence of a dancer. He hasn't started mixing anything yet, but he's clearly on a mission anyway getting all his... whatever, materials together. "It's terrifically easy to put together, I assure you. In fact-"
He turns towards her, all that focused intensity on his face honing in on her again, his brown eyes bright and enthusiastic. Rilla forces herself not to take a step forward, or a step back.
"Damien, I'm not even comfortable with the other stuff I owe-"
"Hush. None of that, I've been perfectly clear on the subject and I will not be discussing it again. Not just at the moment, at least."
Rilla blinks, a little stunned by the firmness in his tone, and he gives another smile.
"In fact-" he half-laughs. "Oh! Yes, of course, that would be perfect, wouldn't it? Come, come join me here. I have everything together, and most of what's required is fairly easy to acquire, especially in the Citadel." He gestures, quick flapping hands urging her closer, and despite herself Rilla is curious enough to approach.
"What are you talking about, Damien?"
"I can show you!" he sings, turning towards her with such a wide, enthusiastic smile that she almost doesn't process his words. "Look, look here, it's a very simple cream and it will help particularly with burn scars, reducing the itching and potentially the scar tissue altogether if-"
Rilla feels like she's swallowed a fist-sized chunk of ice. Her face feels weird, like she's wearing some brand new expression that no one has ever seen before.
"Damien."
"No, it's perfectly alright." His smile softens, and he reaches as if to take her wrist, to guide her hand towards the stone bowl on the counter. "I assure you, it's quite simple and if we start with the calendula, here, and take-"
"Damien," she repeats, more firm, and then she pulls her hand back. A little too sharply. "Stop."
"I..." Damien blinks, confidence draining as he looks towards her. His mouth twitches, a more uncertain smile. "I don't... have I done something wrong again?"
Rilla grits her teeth. "There's no again, Damien, but- I don't- just- stop."
"Stop..." he tries to meet her eyes. She balks, looking towards the window instead. "What? I just thought... I thought that if I just... if I showed you how, you wouldn't need to feel beholden to-"
Something small and sharp snaps somewhere inside of Rilla.
"Stop," she repeats, in something like a hiss. He freezes, and Rilla tries to take a deep breath. It gets caught somewhere in her throat, though, and she exhales between her teeth before she continues. "I know that you know who I am, Damien."
Damien furrows his brow, clearly uncertain. "Well... you are Sir Rilla, of course."
Rilla flattens her mouth, ducking her head and staring at him very pointedly, and after a moment or two he twitches an awkward grimace and continues.
"The... Sir Rilla the Relentless? Yes?"
She frowns properly, then. "Before that. I know you know. Say it."
He blinks, and she knows he's got it, then. He drops his gaze, his shoulders stiffening.
"I- it isn't-"
"Say it."
"S-Sir... Sir Rilla," he says slowly, "of Exile."
"And you know what I was Exiled for?"
He looks away, something panicky on his face. So. She's scared him again. Great.
"Say it," she says again.
"Er... witchcraft. Allegedly."
And that-
Punctures some of the steam trying to build up in her ribcage. Because that's what Marc always says.
She takes another slow breath, as well as she can.
"I got what little was left of my life pulled out from under me because my parents got caught fucking around with magic in medicine and then I tried to look into the same thing," she says, tone flat. "So why would you think that trying to show me how to mix my own medicines would be a good idea, Damien?"
Damien flushes, visibly uncomfortable, twisting his hands in front of himself. "Be... because I thought..." he swallows. "Because I did not think, in fact," he says, his voice gone muted and meek. "I apologize, Sir Rilla. I did not mean to..."
"I'm not trying to make you feel bad, Damien," she says through her teeth. "It's just a bad idea. And I've- I've wasted too much of your time, anyway. Don't worry about the scar cream. I'll just."
She gestures, preemptively turning, avoiding Damien's eyes. He makes another noise, a gasping sort of distress, but he doesn't say anything, or try to stop her as she moves haltingly towards the door.
She makes the idiot move of glancing over her shoulder before she opens it, though, and Damien-
He might be the most expressive person she's ever met. She wonders if that comes from living alone, too. He radiates guilt, and sadness, and- loneliness.
"I'm sorry," he blurts, and then he bites his lip.
"It's fine, Damien." Her head still feels weird and full and cottony. She absolutely can't talk about this. "Don't worry about it."
"I wish I would stop prompting all of our visits to end in argument," he says in a strained voice, almost a groan. "It is rather the opposite of my intent, I assure you."
Rilla-
Inhales. Exhales. Takes her hand off the handle of the door. Turns to look at Damien more fully.
"I'm going to go outside while you mix that," she says, trying to sound less tense than she feels. "I don't like the way calendula smells. Come out when it's done and we can have another normal conversation before I leave. Okay?"
She's never seen anyone deflate so fully with relief, before. He clings to the counter like it's holding him up, his smile wide below eyes that look just a little too bright.
"Of course, Sir Rilla," he says quietly. "That sounds... that sounds delightful."
Rilla nods, and then she opens the door, inhaling the rich clean scent of Damien's garden as she steps outside.
Okay. See? She doesn't have to completely ruin everything.

Scar just watching appreciatively fondly when Mumbo unbuttons his shirt LMAO I know I already said that but I needed to highlight it here-
I love how scary Scar is in this jkgfkjfd like that man is SCARY even when he's smiling I love it <3 The fact that he can just so casually mark someone (well, mark in the literal sense of marking them with a glyph hjfdsk) and pull up a barrier and well he's fae so like. Scary <3 my beloved-
and Mumbo's serious attitude versus Scar's seemingly laidback attitude I love it <3 One of my favorite dynamics honestly <3
"Are you a vampire" "Yes." Short, simple and to the point lol. Mumbo's inherent distrust of Grian and I'm just like. Get used to him sweetie that's part of your future right there <3
ALSO THE CONVENIENCE OF SCAR JUST BLOCKING THE ROOM OFF TO KEEP GRIAN FROM FOLLOWING and just. Accidentally trapping Grian inside with the intruder lmao WHOOPS. Grian casually being birb and perching on the chandelier, it is CRIMINAL that I didn't think of that aw man, I love it-
THE FIGHT. GRIAN FIGHT. HE GOT SOME FIGHT. He might be light and have bird bones but he know how to FIGHT ahaha and OF COURSE it's then that Scar and Mumbo show up. Wonder how far away they were when the gunshots went off....
Scar being more miffed about the floor being ruined because he CHOSE that specific hardwood for MUMBO jhkflsdkghj AND MUMBO MAGIC MUMBO MAGIC we get a glimpse of MUMBO MAGIC AAAAA I love it already hjgfjh <3 I can't wait to see more of it at work 👀
Grian literally jumping across the room (with the help of his wings) after Mumbo startled him and Mumbo just like so not impressed or amused lmao I cannot WAIT to see how the tide turns with these two I just hgfdjkgfdjk
But hey, CONVENIENT WAY to prove you're not on the enemy's side~! Lmao <3
ANYWAY EXCELLENT AS ALWAYS THANK YOU FOR FEEDING ME WELL AFTER THIS TERRIBLE DAY OF WORK <3
He is looking disrespectfully |D hnnnnnngh my scary pretty man. I haven't fully figured out how fae magic works since I'm just going with my gut here but hnnnnnnnnngh. I love him
Y E S Somebody needs to be serious or else nobody would take scar serious and that would be terrible for business fdhklsgh. though you know, as seen above, scar's scary in his own right but its just like - if YOU saw that man interacting with someone in public no hackles would raise at all. Now if you saw that man with a critture stood over his shoulder -
ALSO YES ASDFGAKDLFG I feel like its always Scar v Grian when it comes to like the three of them and MUMBO V GRIAN IS SO FUN ahhhh especially considering they are in Mumbo's Domain and NOT Scars im dfsldfkgsd 👀👀👀
LMAOOOOOO I do love the "Alright I'm gonna keep you here to get you out of the way - oh good the way went to you" trope it is one of my favorites. Now of course the question remains - who or what is The Way 👀👀
ALSO YES I literally started this AU w the intention of having Grian fight in the first story but it wasnt in the cards so HERE HE GOES AHHH - of course with the disadvantage that he's never seen a gun so in his head he's like "Its like a cross bow right" WRONG. INCORRECT. It is a good thing that shot hit something vital-- ASDFGH I MEAAAAAAAAAAAAN The manor is Big but it's not Getting Lost in a Maze of Cooridors Big in my head so who knows 👀
SCAR MY DESIGNER LOVE I have some Plans for that tbh coming up and I am Very Excited because this Au started VERY actiony but theres a whole lull/fluff/.....idk piece i've got in mind coming up bc Scar has Stuff To Do and ahhhh my lil designer ALSO YES MUMBOS MAGIC AHHH The og vampires I'm basing my ideas off of are like. 12 years old from a story I handwrote in a spiral notebook and it feels SO GOOD to dust them off and actually write them decently
BIRD BOY PESKY BIRD BOOOOOOOY I am discovering I really like writing Bird Antics so I had to sneak something in there just like right at the last second dsfkljasg
Ah yes 👀👀Convenient 👀Prove 👀👀👀👀👀👀
<3 <3 <3 <3 ASFGDFGHLKHKLSDFSHKL THANK YOUUUU

loona pm update:
Tumblr media
was hoping to get more work done on loona and get her fully rigged 2nite, but oh my god cpm is a nightmare program designed to drive me insane. i didnt spend as much time working on the finishing rigging stuff 2day as i had hoped to but i managed to get it done. the main issue was the armor which i swear to god i think i spent 3 hours messing with because the way cpm handles armor is indescribable. however this is my text post so im gonna spend an entire paragraph describing.
so basically cpm defines armor in 9 folders to define which parts of the body they move in sync with. helmet, chestpiece, 2 folders for each arm piece of the chestplate, 3 for leggings (1 for the portion on the lower chest, 1 for each leg) and 2 for the boots, again 1 for each leg. APPARENTLY, these folders need to be in the root of the files for parts. what does that mean? ok so, when you have multiple parts move in conjunction, folders are super useful. folders can be rotated and moved, so they can move multiple parts at once. theyre useful since if you have multiple parts that rotate around a central point, like a tail, itll rotate all the parts around a central point you designate instead of individually rotating each one around itself which means youd need to manually move each rotating part because theyd travel some distance if theyre not directly at the center. folders are great since you can nest them within each other to have multiple dependent parts. the tail in the gif above is made of 5 folders, each one containing all of the tail segments except the previous one. the first folder contains the base and all the parts after it. in frame one of the animation when it swings left the first folder rotates everything 5 degrees. the next folder, which contains all parts except the part before it, the base, also rotates 5 degrees. this keep looping, removing the previous part with each folder so that it makes a really smooth curve. folders are useful for moving parts in sync. the legs use this in a way that the thigh moves all the parts beneath it, then the calf moves itself and the foot, and the foot just moves itself. great! thats amazing for animation so i barely need to manipulate individual parts. why does the armor-folder system suck? well-
the foot part of the armor is made of two segments, one of the calf and one on the foot. multiple parts in sync, synced to the foot, so it should fall in the calf folder. well, as i said above, the folders for armor have to be in the root. that means they cannot be in anything, and they need to be in the same folder to be defined as “armor” in the foot group. thats not a big deal in vanilla skins, which have one leg segment. the legging and foot groups define themselves off of a joint they have in the same place as the legs’ actual joints. that doesnt work here since the legs have independent joints which will extend and retract to a point that the base thigh joint doesnt help define anything. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH DO YOU SEE WHAT I MEAN.
anyway. all this modeling is legitmately driving me insane. i dont understand how one program can be so buggy. i should also mention the animation tool cant be described as anything other than “foolish and downright silly” because it DOESNT HAVE A TIMELINE. THERE IS NO TIMELINE FOR ANIMATION. its entirely based on keyframes. ahhhh. also i had to deal with a million other random issues which drove me to depths i didnt know the human mind could reach. at one point the outer leg layer textures got really warped and distorted for genuinely no reason. like genuinely none. i had to just remake them using the same position and uv mapping. also had to rip apart the legs, hair and tail to joint them in a way that could be used for animation which you can see here in the gif above!
i was hoping to have her fully rigged but hey, here’s all i have for now. some basic little global anims for the tail wagging and the hair flapping in the wind. overall, could not be more happy with this (unless cpm burst into flames and sank into a salt marsh never to be seen again) will try and keep updating this model until its suuuuper polished. might update again later tonight if i can get significant progress on it. also will get back to posting art soon since i just havent been feeling it i just NEED to keep modeling. its so cool but god these programs hate me ahhhhh.
good night :)

Oh what's this!? A double-stuffed deluxe serving of PreCure, served at late night! 25 and 26! We're goin' out into the woods! And make a new nemesis, but such is life! And in Episode 26? Who knows~! But with a title like "Kokone's Promise! Challenging King Green Pepper" I think this might be a simple one.
Spoilers, I guess...
This is a long boi btw, figured you'd like to know.
-Ohayo, Yuin~!
-Yeah kicked ass two weeks ago, huh?
-That's definitely a Delicioustone, but what we buildin', Narshe?
-Spiritoru?
-Bundoru bundoru?
-Holy shit he made a robot.
-Nikoniko? Nico Nico Nii?
-Alright ladies, I realize there's quite a natural bounty before us, but don't take chances with mushrooms and unfamiliar berries, eh?
-They put shades on the fox.
-The dog and dragon too!
-Oh Mari-chan, you too?
-Guess Kokone would feel nervous. I can't imagine she's spent much time so far away from an urban setting.
-Oh fuck
-Ghoast!
-To be fair, ghosts are kinda real in other PreCure titles.
-What a nice town!
-I see the soundtrack's followed us here, hmm?
-"Fuck it, I can't find my way around here, I'm gonna set this whole forest on fire."
-Alriiiight, let's go!
-Koko-neechan!
-Y'know, for a murder ghost robot, Spiritoru seems like a pretty swell chap.
-Spin the tent!
-We used to play this game a lot in elementary school.
-No pot!
-It's okay, I know a dealer~!
-...Takumicchi, did you run here!?
-Oh, Minato-san.
-"Goddammit, I have to wake up early..."
-Listen to Amai-kaichou. Having a meal out here in such a beautiful campground as this would be perfect!
-Ooooooh, paella~!
-Oooooh, a seafood paella~!
-No fire, huh?
-Well, can't really blame them. Most of the fires I usually start are by accident.
-My grandmother said this... "If you wish it to be so, luck will always be on your side."
-Ranchi, my girl.
-Hooray! Fire!
-Spoooooky happenings!
-Oh, a thicc boi, huh?
-Ranchi got Smitty Werbenjagermanjensen's number 1 hat.
-There was a thicc boi!
Ran-Ran: He was the Eggman! Takumi: He was the Eggman? Amane: He was the Walrus!? Goo goo g'joob!?
-"Dinner's ready, bitches!"
-Oh shit, Narshe's building up.
-Y'know Seccy, I'd probably like you a lot more if you actually did something!
-Oh shit, Spiritoru face reveal.
-I love him already.
-Ooooh, a whole barbecue goin' on!
-Recibepis
-"Fuck, my clout!"
-And just like that, Takumicchi takes his leave.
-Ahhhh, c'mon lad!
-Recipeppi, hellooooo!
-Don-Don! Iitotokomkke! Oh wait, wrong series
-Cubed meat?
-Is he... spoiling the eat?
-"Is he a fucking robot. That's cringe."
-As a recently converted Ruru Amour stan, your distaste is noted, Rosemary.
-"Ohhhhh, the famous Pretty Cures!"
-Oh shit, he's got a wrench!
-I see, so an Ubau-zo doesn't have to be strictly a kitchen tool, eh?
-I kinda knew that, but feels weird to see this used.
-"On behalf of my Dad, I will beat you up!"
-What should I call you, Spiritoru? I like you, I'd hate to be mean to you the way I am to Narshe and ambivalent like I am to Seccy...
-"Ganbare! Ganbare! U-Bau-Zo!"
-One of my favorite villain archetypes is the "Surprisingly strong comic relief", so I'm definitely having fun with Spiritoru. He's got such a banger design, I love him.
-"You meatbag humans don't get it! Why eat when you can recharge!?"
-That's it, Yuin, punch that gigantic solid metal monster thing.
-Don't stop on our account Precious!
-"Nisen Kilocalorie Punch!"
-Unit conversion tells me 2000 Kilocalories is equivalent to 8368 kilojoules. 2 kilos worth of of TNT!
-GIrl's got a lot of power behind those punches.
-We did it! The barbecue has been saved!
-What a nice guy he is!
-Men need their beauty sleep just as much as men do!
-Ah, old maid! I kick ass at this game, deal me in!
-Gotta water your mind for your
-Oooooooh, that starscape is very nicely drawn.
-Kokone episode, hell yeah!
-Well, I'll see you all next time when I see Kokone talk about green peppers.
-.
-Next time, let's go!
-Mmm... Spiritoru, Spiritoru...
-Supi-kun?
-Supi-kun, definitely.
-Oh shoot, there's nobody who can make Delicioustones huh?
-...I have to ask though... what exactly is Supi-kun doing to the food by capturing the Recipepsiman?
-Like, Gentle fucked up the flavor and ruins everybody's meals. I can see how this can completely fuck over a restaurant's reputation and how Amane would feel guilty over this.
-Narshe steals memories associated with certain foods, and we saw first hand how that can hurt a person and how tragic it'd be to lose a cherished memory.
-All we've seen Supi-kun do is cube meat. I can see why having something like that happen to you while you're eating dinner would frazzle you, but the food seems otherwise just fine.
-"Fuck it, lunchbreak!"
-Oooooh, I love green peppers!
-God, stuffed with cheese and baked, or chopped up into a salsa, or cut up with beef in steak fajitas...
-I should pull a Shinichi Saruhara and imagine myself some of my favorite dishes after this. It's super late at night and it'd take way too long to cook, and I don't even think we have the ingredients...
-Kome-Kome's suffering is incalculable.
-Kokone, a hardened veteran of the Pepper Wars.
-I will save you, Kone-Kone.
-I mean, Koko-meechan.
-Koko-Koko
-I used to be a pretty picky eater as a kid. I don't know exactly how I grew out of it, but nowadays I usually try to recognize ingredients I like and how they fit into the bigger picture of the dish.
-Takumicchi's dad has the right idea! Introducing them as components to something you do like.
-Oh, Takkun!
-...Takkun...
-Ah, sorry, uh... "Takkun" is a nickname reserved for somebody else, in my heart.
-Yeah, help us out!
-Hide the bitterness.
-Green peppers in a pound cake?
-I'm a big carrot cake guy, but... how on earth?
-Is Yui one of those moms who'd try to bake brussel sprouts into brownies?
-"Nooooo, Kokone! They'll murder you!"
-King Green Pepper seem a charitable and courteous capsicum.
-He and his other bell pepper kin actually register at a solid zero on the Scoville scale, so if he proves too much for you, the name "Cure Spicy" will unfortunately prove to be wasted on you, Kokone.
-"Yo Godatz, I'm the new guy!"
-"NOOOO DON'T TALK TO HIM LIKE THAT YOU FOOL! YOU LISTEN TO YOUR MOTHER WHILE SHE'S TALKING TO YOU!"
-I think I'm liking Seccy more and more now jhkjlh
-Eat the food, fox girl!
-"HOLY SHIT WHAT WHY IS SHE SO BIG"
-"...Fack."
-Oh wow, she bonked.
-C'mon Koko-neechan, be a big girl! This is... honestly very embarassing!
-Good evening, DILF Butler!
-Yeah, you at least attempted, huh?
-Y'know, there's quite a bit of what I personally read as neurodivergent subtext to Kokone's character, so I get where she's coming from with this.
-Hell, my distaste for non-fried shrimp even has a similar origin to hers.
-Let's just say there's a very good reason why you devein and remove the shells from them. No amount of thorough cooking will undo that pain.
-Dish washin' time.
-"IF THAT BITCH DOESN'T EAT THESE FUCKING PEPPERS I AM GOING TO SHIT"
-Y'know, maybe Narshe should've installed a GPS in Supi-kun. Probably would've helped.
-Whomst
-Ooooh, that pepper is a thicc boi
-That shot of Pam-Pam hiding in the peppers is honestly super adorable.
-Friends with the peppers!
-The secret ingredient is always love.
-Oooooh, that's tantalizing...
-"Pepper Detected."
-Don Don! Toru Toru! Bundoru!
-Takumicchi, you gotta breathe better man!
-Pepper flavored curry and rice! Smoked turkey and pepper jack panini! Bell pepper udon stir fry! Bell peppers are botanically fruits because their seeds are on the inside of the pods!
-Delicious Party Pepper Cure!
-Oh yeah, you're technically not that kinda pepper, huh Blackpep?
-Man, Supi-kun's way better at monster design than his Dad.
-Hmmm... part of me wonders if Narshe intentionally programmed him to have this kind of conflict?
-"For fuck's sake, just eat your goddamn peppers, kids!"
-Crusty Bread Barrier!
-Daaaamn, Kokone opening fire on her own.
-You go girl!
-Humans do a lot of things, Supi-kun.
-Don't look back Takumicchi, just run!
-Hell yeah, we've recovered!
-Oh god that mouth shot
-That was unneccesary
-Pepper Steak! From hit indie RPG Maker game off!
-Mmmmmm...
-I thoroughly enjoyed both of these episodes as usual. Not a lot left for me to say, other than "Goddammit, I need to imagine those peppers right fucking now."
-Now, if you would excuse me... Join me when I wake up for Kamen Rider Geats, Episode 1! And on Saturday! With episode 27 of this show~!
-Episode 27!
-RANCHI EPISODE
-Lot of Kome-Kome focus, huh?
-...Oh god, she's gonna fucking morb.
-Anyways, look forward to that, this has been way too fucking long~!
