@cleradinel made a post pointing out s3 mike's tiny baby teenage moustache and i immediately pictured this scenario. had to draw it.

split up version (in case that's easier for anyone to read) and some bonus headcanons under the cut

headcanons first:

yes, i gave mike braces. that was a spontaneous decision but i think s3 mike with braces would've been great. the first one of the party to actually grow facial hair that needs shaving (not just peach fuzz) would be lucas. the one with the best beard when they're older is dustin. mike never manages more than the goatee and moustache area, he's very disgruntled about this. will is able to grow facial hair just fine but the party don't realise this for literally years because he hates not being clean shaven, and because he's got the classic white boy problem of his beard being slightly ginger rather than matching his hair properly. jonathan teaches will how to shave, he also teaches dustin at the same time

i have a lot of male friends lmfao, these are all based on them lol.

individual panels of the comic:

TEKVENTURES! I wanna ramble about Tekventures.

if you remember them you qualify for a veterans discount

So they were Sgt.Frog ocs that my best friend SARAZA and I made on flipnote for edgy amvs and comics. I wanna say I wassss 13? give or take. But these little guys were my EVERYTHING. We thought of a billion stories about them. Then I got sick of drawing frogs eventually and wanted to make them more of an original thing. Our first sketches were of anthro goats, but over time with my style changes, an the fact that I hate spending more than 2 seconds drawing anything, they no longer resemble any specific animal and turned into fuzzy nondescript species of alien thing. ANYWAY I wanted to make them into a "real comic series" when i was 17. That's when I started the chapters that are still up on tumblr n webtoons! and a few other sites probably that I forgot about.

I've been harsh on it in the past but honestly I still love it to bits. What's there is a solid little comic and i still think it's adorable!

The only thing is, that's judging it based on what's there. It's a basis for a cute episodic thing with low stakes! Like the early mlp fim episodes or the new care bears cartoon. But that's NOT what it was planned for in the long term. Oh no, I was so ambitious. I had at LEAST 50 episodes planned which would weave together into this massive arc that would introduce other space teams, wayward space travelers with secret pasts connecting to the main cast, sad backstories for everyone, ALL of the family members of the main cast, a villian team with like... 'anti-versions' of the main cast, and a dramatically foreshadowed final confrontation with robot clones that want to destroy their planet. OH AND ROBIN too! Besides all that, they ALSO have multiple side story episodes about crashing to earth and befriending a human girl named Robin who has to keep them secret.

That might have been um. a lot.

But when you start writing a story with your best friend when you're 13 you most likely have NO CONCEPT of "too much". Who am I kidding I STILL have trouble pacing myself. But when you come up with a story it's hard not to think it's just GOLD! And that you've gotta keep it no matter what! Because that stuff is fun!

I went full force into the comic in my senior year of highschool and eventually I finished the first chapter! It took me a year. And then I looked at my plans for the other 49 episodes and thought "maybe I need to rework some things.."

I rebooted the comic once, tried making smaller stories, all that, but I wasn't quite feeling the same drive anymore. I realized I was comparing my work to high budget tv shows with like. a full team of writers and artists. and studio funding. and greenlit seasons and all that. And it was making me feel TERRIBLE about my art!

So I quit comics! I started hating comics! I hated how long they took and how restricted I felt (with my own expectations) and I lost my confidence in finishing projects because I was so sad about giving up on my big magnum opus. and I just kinda gave up and started only doing fandom art for a couple years. I did a jyushimatsu ask blog and kept it up for ages! And then a new season of Osomatsu came out and I realized when comparing it that I was basically writing an oc at this point. And that I CAN commit to long term projects if i dont get self conscious about it!

I still didnt wanna jump into comics again. But I thought of some new characters that I was becoming attached to. the very very beginnings of what could turn into a new idea.

I thought "well i still love cartoons about space! even if im not making tekventures anymore maybe i could do another space story. a really tiny one."

so i started making an rpgmaker game! and it started taking forever. so in the meantime i made a really rough doodle comic about how the characters first met. as a little side story thing.

and THAT was the key. I had to stop thinking about it like i was making a big cool tv show and starting my career and all that. its just a fun thing, off the cuff, not overthinking it, just for fun and personal expression.

so im still going with it! and its GREAT! Rocket chip has 12 planned chapters, and I'll be halfway done by the end of the year.

But BOY did it take me forever to learn that.

Hey there! About your people-hate-math post, I wanted to offer a thought about why that might be so prevalent. I feel like in our current schooling system, there’s an emphasis on STEM as like, the *really* important subjects/fields that prove you’re smart and are valuable in finding future careers, and math is a big part of that (esp since it’s also an important part of some other sciences, like physics/certain aspects of chemistry, etc). So for a lot of students, there’s a big focus on math skill being a huge indicator of your overall intelligence (like when I was in high school, students who were good at math were generally considered really smart, whereas the ones who were good at writing or art but terrible at mathematics were uh. generally not.). If you’re not very inclined to the subject, it does become extra irritating how much weight it given to it and how you’re judged for your performance in it, which I feel is probably what leaves those people with a sore spot and distaste for math even many years later. I think that as long as we live in a society that quantifies intelligence in these arbitrary ways, it’ll be pretty hard to change this though :(

ok i got a lot of reactions like this to my post so heres my breakdown: in my country, literature education (of our native language) fucking sucks ass. like its so bad and people are being forced to read a lot of books they dont want to and in my opinion they really ruin the way people interact with books literature and history. i never got any good grades for those classes, even though they were seen as the easiest ones.

HOWEVER

some of my friends have written books, poetry bundles, theatre/tv show scripts. some of them translate novels into different languages so more people are able to enjoy them. sometimes they do this for fun and keep everything to themselves, but some of these things have actually been published. the reactions to them are OVERWHELMINGLY positive.

i agree that math/science education has a somewhat thicker layer of "if you dont get it you must be stupid" on it, put there for no reason at all, but still, thats not an excuse for making people feel bad for genuinely enjoying math/science.

Gene for the character ask!

an anon ask me this I dont know if should be scare XD But at least someone ask so thankiu Anon And here we Go with my fav bean:

First impression: Okey dont judge me but I actually fall really fast for my Gene XD lit the episode that seal the deal for me was Spaghetti Western from season 1 so yeah it was almost love at first sight, love at first season

Impression now: I mean, they're my bean, my precious little baby, they are the sun that shine in my sky XD for real with every episode I fall a lil deeper They're just too precious for me

Favorite moment: This is a bit weird but it is his whole song for Courtney in the Gene and Courtney's Show but specially his line "Your heart is not broken is only growing" I have never had a romantic relationship I do not ship Gene x Courtney, why does this moment make me cry? that and the whole Stand by Gene episode

Idea for a story: Im terrible for this, but i don't have any idea like for an actual episode, I did wanted to try making a comic in which Gene want to put a play and have to asume the role of director, but struggle with not being able to properly work with others since she has such an informal and messy way of working, how if something seems to hard she just quite, how Gene deal with frustration and how she sometime takes it out on those who try to help her like her friends and family, but we have seen this in many episodes so is not a very original idea 😅

Unpopular opinion: I dont think I have any, I think all of us love Gene, think their amazing and that they totally need to be taken more seriousley by the avarege viewer and the crew. Maybe that's my unpopular opinion? for me the crew has contributed to Gene being taken as a least important character in the family, they have give her some deep episodes yeah, of course, but mostley they forgot about Gene, for example in the movie Gene has the least important plot of all. I know is hard with three kids, and Bob and Linda, but come on! (though I love Loren Bouchard and the whole crew, this is just me being pity)

Favorite relationship: ships aside, I actually love Gene's father/son relationship with Bob, I want as many episode with this two you can give me. And…as a lil surprise I would love to see Gene interact more with Jimmy Jr, I dont know why but I think they would be good for each other, artistically talking, they both struggle in the artistic medium they love, cause even if arts is "free" is still have to please the mayority (this is actually a main plot in the comic I am not making) And in the shipping department Galex 👍

Favorite headcanon: Im also terrible at headcanons so I just have dumb ones. The main one is, you know how Gene has composed many songs in the serie? well, for me, Gene compose the whole song "My Butt Has a Fever" and probably made the coreo too, Louise could have help a lil on the lyrics but is mostly an original Gene. That and Gene use belcro shoes…why? cause I used belcro shoes until i was like…16(?) I hate shoelaces and even now days i made that thing when you tie your shoes like looseley and you just dont untied it like never, how many shoes i have ruin? i dont care, I want for Gene to have the same problem cause i love her :D (does Gene being genderfluid is a headcanon? cause for me is a super canon thing)

That's all, anon, I don't know if I know you, I don't know if you know me, probably yes cause you pick my bean, but whatever it is, I love you, besito en la frente.

#bob's burgers #q&a #genie beanie #opening the character ask como corresponde #i dont get over the fact that an anon ask me something #it make me feel like in a spy movie #Love talking about Gene #I would do it every day #the whole day #24/7 #but I restrain myself #so u dont suffer with my incessant rambling #sorry if Im not very creative in the story and headcanon ones #im terrible at that department #the serie is perfect #they dont need my silly ideas #that i dont even have XD #this was actually fun #i like it

One thing I wish the erin's touched more on is how important and special Leafpool are!

Not only gave her birth to the three/two she also FOUND THE GODDAMN MOONPOOL! which would make her nearly as important as Mhotflight and it would have been really cool if they touched on that especially when she gets judged by starclan because even if she broke the code the clans should be able to communicate with starclan if it weren't for her.

And also would it be okay for me to take a bit inspiration on your take on Mothflight/blinding moon?

bc i imagen Mothflight whould maybe have tried to control her to be able to use her powers but then when she broke the code and had kits with tigerstar's daughter nonetheless she would see her as a threat to her power and authority. And then maybe tried to control the three mostly for their powers but maybe also in hope of mange to get Leafpool to do what she wants thourge them.

I'm getting a bit side tracked now but having the three be leaf x moth is much better the leaf x crow bc it makes for such a more interesting story line, now both being grandchildren of firestar and tigerstar, you could definitely lean more into the will they use their power for good or bad. It could also tie back to the mothflight plot having her maybe tell Leafpool that if she doesn't do what she says her children might succumb to the darkness.

Anyway i just love your art and Au and i cant wait to learn more about them! <3

And you're version on Mothflight/blinding moon is just amazing i wish it was canon

FR i wish the books talked abt how important Leafpool is, she's like the modern Moth Flight!!! I have been trying to lean into this more with the au as well! I want RoC Leaf to have a lot of parallels to Moth Flight/Blinding Moon, but in the end Leaf is the one to undo Blinding Moon's terrible laws that the Orders have been following. or at least she plays a bit part in the change to the laws, especially the "healers cant have kits and mated law).

and yesss I feel like Blinding Moon finds Leaf to be a threat to her as Leaf has the potential to be just as if not more powerful than she is. I think a lot of her actions could both be to sabotage her and control her... and after the 3 are born her wanting to control them could defo be partially not just for their power but also for more control over Leafpool.

also ya! the three being fire and tiger kin just works sooo well... im kinda sad I couldnt come up with a way for Dove to be related to Fire but she is still a reincarnation of Leafpool's kit so it still kinda counts hehehe. also also I just feel like there is something more impactful abt them being born to two healers, i kno Moth doesnt believe in the stars but still... i feel like kits born to two healers just have the potential to be extra powerful u kno??

aaand yes! feel free to take inspo from my Blinding Moon idea! I dont mind ppl taking inspo from my au as long as they credit me :)

I don't want this to come off as rude at all,I'm just curious as to why you get so much interaction. your posts always get notes and you seem to answer a lot of asks everyday. I am also a cc in the fandom (I'm on anon because I don't want anyone to judge me for this) and my content flops pretty constantly. I'm just wondering if there is a secret to success I'm not learning or if my content is just garbage. Any advice would be nice!

Hi, I definitely dont think you're being rude, I totally understand being frustrated by numbers on here. i wish i had secrets to share but i really dont. i have a lot of followers so my content is pushed further. using tags properly and becoming friends with other ccs is really good for getting your content seen. ive been lucky enough to have ppl like me for some reason so ppl support my blog when i post things most of the time. i do also have some flops, thats just how tumblr works and some ppl wont agree that your content is good and ignore it.

its harsh to say that and i know that ive had terrible content get a lot of notes because of my blog size. but you just have to keep working at it. try changing up how your content looks (more or less grain, sharpening settings, try unique coloring or try to really work on color correction instead of just making things more vibrant or darker) if u write find other writers, no one supports content like content creators.

as for the asks, i have literally no idea. i am confused as to why people would talk to me constantly abhdjs I just try to be kind and keep my negative opinions to myself unless theyre about ppl stepping over bounds or being mean or rude to skz. i try to just be unapologetically myself tho, posting about chris like a rabid dog or just weeping over how much i love him. it is apparently very relatable lmao

i am not good at making friends, all of the people who i am friends with on here have come to me seeking friendship, but going on anon and talking to ppl or just showing up in tags with fun comments or thoughts or just compliments on the content will make you friends. a lot of ppl have reached out to me just because i was kind to their work.

the only real advice is to not give up. i think blog growth is always slow until you just hit a certain point where for one reason or another you become more known and then it will grow more rapidly, but it can take a while. and it can take you finding what youre really good at, you might have no idea how well you are and gif blends or graphics or even just being someone who updates on activities happening with skz (this site is absolutely lacking a proper skz update blog fsjniss) if you ever want to vent about it i'll listen, and if you ever want to send me your content and ask for critique i can do that too (but it will just be my opinion and im not anything special fhbdjs)

above all else you have to enjoy making things or it is never going to be worth it. no number of notes is going to make u better at any kind of art. only time and effort and enjoyment will.

I'm sorry this is so long and i wish any of it was truly helpful, but tbh i think i just got lucky with tumblr and how much interaction i get :/

do you ever look through the distortionist tag? or just at other distortionist art in general? how do you feel about other people's takes on him (as a character and his design)? Just wondering because I noticed you dont typically reblog art that you weren't mentioned in (which is totally fine im not judging you for that at all you can post what you want on your own blog) so i wanted to know how you felt.

I do on occasion! I like seeing how other people draw him, it's interesting how different peoples' styles can depict the same character! :D

As for how other people interpret him as a character... well, I do like some people's portrayals, but overall I'm just really picky when it comes to his personality, haha. I don't mean to imply that my interpretation is The Correct One, it's definitely not, I just tend to like Christophers that err more towards the way I write him on MWTM

One interpretation I am vehemently against though are those that try to make him be secretly a good person on the inside or some shit. Like no, he's a terrible and abhorrent person and I love him for it, how dare you take that away from him it's literally the one canon trait that we know of

(Sorry, sorry, it's okay to write him however you want in the end I guess, just know that that's a huge pet peeve of mine lmao)

Really though, as long as the interpretation is better than "twisty bat-swinging maniac that breaks mirrors and gets crispy sometimes lol" then I'm cool with it 👍

#anonymous #I do have a reason for not reblogging or following other GHOST fan content creators stuff though #and that's because I don't want to feel obligated to reblog peoples' stuff because I'm kind of popular here #Like it's complicated but I just... don't want to be a person that people are trying to get the attention of. You know??#I do reblog on occasion if I especially like something or if I feel it has a criminally low amount of notes #And I do like posts (I'm invaderfg!)#I just... ugh. I don't know #Sorry if that sounds bad but I promise I mean well #It just boils down to not wanting anyone to feel left out because I didn't reblog their stuff or pay attention to their posts #I also like. Don't look through Tumblr on this account very much lmao #I browse through Tumblr and follow people on a secret alt account so that I don't have to be veeeffvee all the time haha

I KNOW ITS TERRIBLE SO DONT JUDGE

I’m actually an art student but this was the quickest little drawing I’ve ever done from the top of my head so it didn’t turn out exactly how I wanted it but I kept it anyway bc it’s kinda cute

Anyways this is exactly how I saw the scene in my head in Let’s go don’t wait p1 where they’re sat at the bar and he’s holding her hand and I just drew it immediately after I read it bc I was in love with the story

Again it’s absolutely abysmal so if you don’t post it on your page I will not blame you at all bestie 😭

STOPPPP THIS IS SO CUTE! i'm crying! this is so touching! thank you so much for sharing this with me!

Before you make that oiran-themed house explain to me what oirans are. Quickly. I don’t think you know what oirans are. It’s fine if you can’t explain though, I think we can all tell you don’t know anything about asian cultures based on how you draw asian ocs.

Normally i don't answer these but..welp got me in a mood.

Ah anon you just going to judge me solely on my awful artstyle?

Jokes on you..

I've been RPing a oiran based character in final fantasy XIV for 3yrs with a group of others who are from varied backgrounds.

My oiran themed idea isnt for twst if your thinking that..its for a monster au of my own world. I'm sure demons and monsters won't take kindly to you saying they don't look normal..lol. I'm not making a place with rl looking people with 100% accuracy thats boring..

I adore many cultures and do research..alot of it its possible to do you know? I asked my friends,deep internet searched,read books,absorbed everything.

Can we stop adding rl race to fandom ocs unless its stated as far as your concerned all my ocs are African cause I made them so boom what now? But really thats so stupid i dont make ocs based on race...I make them based on a character or a number of characters/ideas.

If you see my ocs as just a certain rl race you are mistaken cause last i checked places like Sunset Savanna or the Shaftlands are fictional places in a video game. The game doesn't have people labled by race so I do no either.

I also do not make the effort to draw my ocs in a style that I can't do. They all look the same blocky,flat,big eyed look cause thats just my bad artstyle ok? If want to know I practice using the utapri and love live artstyles as like guides and they do no have accurate features. I am not the person to look for such things im still a beginner at art and prefer having others who i commission from art for my ocs then my own.

NONE OF MY OCS ARE BASED 100% ACCURATELY TO A RL RACE OR RELIGION.

I rather make 100 demons then make a oc that is that. Inspiration and basing are different depending on the person.

Now if you come back to my askbox try without bringing up race cause by now its the lowest jerk card this fandom can throw at people your like the 4th person who has come at me like this...

Ive been told im terrible for making so many male ocs,dark skinned ocs,tanned skin ocs,and now this. It's getting old.

Im sorry im not poorly drawing your babygirl alpha...Ive long since stop catering to your hide behind a anon button kind..

okay….haii tl;dr: i want to throw myself from a reactor nuclear and besides loving this page dearly keeping it daily isnt helping me with these kinda of thought so ill start a god-knows-who-long hiatus

now *puts a music box version of meltdown by iroha for dramatic purposes* *cleans throat* pretending im talking to an audience its easier for me okay dont judge me :(

i dont know how to write texts but ill try my best to explain everything without going into too much annoying stuff but the text may have a few suicide mentions here and there

okay

i created this page in a very dark period of my life that never went away, it actually worsened everyday. it was supposed just to be fun and games, "oh this character didnt got released this month, maybe drawing him everyday for a month until he gets here will be very funny!!!" *stares at 2 years*

as you can see, i didnt had ANY prepare to keep going for the long we did, but this is 100% not a complain

i really love this page, i really do love everyone i've met, i love having this project with my best friend, but i cant and wont lie: it made me VERY worse than i already was. it made me feel good, it made me feel loved, it made me feel human again, and at the same time it absolutely killed me

having to keep this consistence everyday, having to do good drawings, not allowing myself to do what it was better for my own health just because i didnt wanted to disappoint people with silly drawings when the first week was all cool drawings full colored with a bunch of details, references and etc

i really lost my count of how many times i had a terrible breakdown or even an attempt and my first thought was just "yeah that sucked. anyway i have to work so people will have some art tomorrow!"

and to be honest i dont think starting this page with my friend was…..that of a good idea. i know youre here just for their art. you dont need to lie i know theyre better than i am and you would prefer to see their art everyday other than mine. dont worry the feeling its mutual

but well theyre a slow artist and i wont be the one forcing them to draw everyday, i am the one that can do it and thats what i did for 300 days until now!

but that was something that kinda broke my feelings also cuz im very harsh on myself and keeping comparing their drawings to mine, not only the quality but also the different attention it all got (and sometimes it was almost a 20 likes difference so..sucks to be me ig) isnt doing good for my little damaged brain. its 100% not their fault tho and im not saying it is KJGDKFDK but if im going to be honest then i will

i dont know how to keep going the text tbh,, so,, my point is that im havent felt well since i started the page, and i love it with my whole heart, and these feelings have nothing to do with uno, grand chase itself, or the community (maybe a 2% fault go for annoying people from twitter /hj), im just being a little egoistic and doing this for myself or otherwise i can go completely insane and well. psych wards dont look funny :(

i really feel nasty, an HORRIBLE human being, absolute egoistic trash by abandoning the page, i feel SO FUCKING BAD for not drawing my son, by not updating here everyday and allowing people to see the silly stuff i do, but i guess i got to my breaking point where i just cant keep ignoring my suicide attempts by drawing and keeping my mouth shut (really, my last attempt was so scary i didnt fully recovered from)

yeahhhhhhh

i guess that was it

i pinky-promise i'll try my best to keep drawing and posting everytime i can, but it wont be daily, and it may not be weekly also, but i didnt gave up and i WONT gave up, this page is my absolute pride and joy and i cant just let it go away for a bad mental day. i still love and forever will love uno and drawing him, and i'll be forever happy for everyone i've met and helped me even without they knowing, just by liking or commenting on my stuff

i hope you guys can forgive me for abandoning stuff right now and i hope y'all dont forget me. i wont be mad if you forget me. i'll just be a little sad. maybe cry a little *stares at you like that ( ◕_◕)* but dont worry. its okay.

i'll be trying my best to get back posting daily at least around day 330, but dont put high hopes. please. dont expect much. bigs chances i'll be just dropping a stick man with a heart ahoge saying haiiiii and go back to posting silly ugly art

yes people mean visibility. if a creator is trying to get visibility likes dont work out. that is what people mean. it doesnt help most creators to like their post and not share it, that is what they mean, and that is true with how tumblr works. for a lot of people, likes genuinely dont help. i understand likes are everything to you if you rarely get anything, but thats why reblogs would be even better because you would have even more people interacting with your post instead of a few likes

(presumably part 2 from the same anon:)

"the issue isnt that people arent allowed to like creative content, the issue is how far skewed it is into that direction and how hard it is for people to spread their work. if you replaced every unreblogged like with a reblog, then pieces would certainly get farther out there. the fact you get a few likes and rarely a reblog is what the entire issue is. we are saying people should try to reblog more so that posts can spread more instead of leaving one in the dust with a few likes"

---

Anon. I don't know where you got the impression that I don't understand the importance of reblogs. Here's the thing: no one ever says they mean visibility. And if all the likes people put on your posts disappeared tomorrow you wouldn't be happy about it.

And here's what you don't seem to understand: likes and reblogs are fundamentally different actions. People don't decide "should I like or reblog" they decide "do I like this?" and "do I want to share this?" as separate questions.

The like button is not to blame for your lack of reblogs. And I happen to think the concept of "what if all your likes were reblogs instead" is extremely pointless to consider. That's not a realistic scenario. That won't happen. The people who chose not to reblog my post won't magically reblog it because you said likes are worthless.

If you tell people likes are worthless, they will stop pressing like. They will not start pressing reblog.

Anon, simply put, you are a fool if you think people will interact more if you make them feel bad for pressing like.

Positive reinforcement anon, it's really very simple. You don't get people to do what you want by getting mad at them for not doing it. You get that by rewarding them for doing a thing you like.

And I do have ideas for what works better to get people to reblog posts actually! You'd know that if you read my tags instead of giving your standard tumblr newbie explanation to someone who's been here for years.

Here's the thing. Saying why likes don't matter just tells people why not to like. Again, I don't think anyone would get any happier if everyone stopped pressing like on posts. It's a terrible idea to discourage people from that! And you can say that's not the intention of those posts, but you don't know what posts I've seen because I refuse to reblog them. They're all quite discouraging. I'm not talking about a hypothetical user that stops liking posts because of these things, I'm talking about me. Those posts make me scared that I will be judged for pressing like on posts. Talk about intention all you want, this is the actual effect.

You have to tell people why it's good for them to reblog posts. And I don't just mean "if you don't, artists will stop making art", that's not an argument it's a threat. I know it's not intended as a threat, but it reads as one.

You have to romanticize reblogging. Creating a place to hold all those things you like! Making it easy to find that art again! Sharing the shiny things you collected with your friends! Writing compliments in the tags! Your favourite artist or writer may even recognize your name if you keep reblogging!!

It's not hard to make reblogging sound good and fun, but no one's actually doing that because they're too busy talking about how worthless likes are to actually help anyone understand the joy of reblogging.

That was my point anon, thanks for missing it.

Hello there!

My name is River Moon, but call me River. My first language isn't English, sorry for the errors.

I started university so I have no idea how much time I will have to anything.

~ ☆ ~

I have some side blogs I promised to show you (for anyone who follows me and reads my tags under the reblogged posts lol).

Sideblogs I have:

1. Currently I have 2 blogs just for reblogs:

Transformers themed (just stuff about tf): @bleeeeeeed

Team Fortress 2 themed (just stuff about tf2): @bl7ed

2. I have one blog for the doodles I do: @riverm00ndraws

3. And I have this, wich is mostly Good Omens reblogs, but there are art reblogs and.. I dunno its just a little bit messy: @andsuddenlytherewasme

The tags I use:

What I really like: #!!! <3

When im talking: #riverm00n talks

#special tag

#important

That's all for now..

~ ☆ ~

Umm, I dont really talk about myself (so it is hard for me), but if you wanna know me a tiny bit more, then its under the cut.

I have 4 cats and I absolutely love them. One family (and hunting) dog. And some chikens with one goose. I love all of them very much!

I am terrible with plants, really. I destroy them with my kindness.

I rarely draw but I'm trying, I really am. I'm just really afraid of being judged. So if I get even just a like I get so so so happy!

I love to chat, talk, text anything! But I am bad in starting a conversation. I like better when the people are taking the first step to reach out for me (I think everyone is like with this). Because if I do I'm afraid that I only disturb them.. and I think I just realized that I might have problems with rejection. Oh wow

I talk sometimes (a lot) in the tags.

I feel like I don't know myself. Everywhere I read and hear these things that "no one is know you better than yourself" and I'm standing there like "wow, you are not helping at all".

I play games, mostly on pc. Resently I try to find some time to play Batman Arkham City (I have the others too, and I already finished Batman Arkham Asylum story mode and I like to go in order). I'm waiting for Hollow Knight Silksong to come out, yes I played Hollow Knight and its a beautiful game and I just coudnt finish the whole game because I stopped playing (maybe because of school) and its really hard to get in back. I also play Dead Cells and I am really excited for the series!! (I could rant about games for so long so I might just stop here.................. Don't Starve, Stardew Valley, Aragami, Dark Souls, Undertale and Delatarune, Terraria!!!)

I love books! Will I read them? Yes; when I won't find any more fanfics to read. Oh gosh I love reading so much!

I love music as well, I cannot really say a specific genre but my favorite musician right now is TheFatRat (and favorite music from him is Close to the Sun).

I usually leave projects. I don't always finish what I start. This can be a book, drawing, series or a movie.

I am really forgetful, I just know I forget to say something, but if you wanna know even more about me I will gladly text back, so just write in private, send an ask (I turned on Anonymus asks because I like to use that too lol) or anything you want.

This is enough so far, I think. I may edit this in the future, if something changes.

Well I’ll be fucking goddamned the words are FLOWING tonight lads

I just wrote 3k words of pure smut in 3 hours

And like,, the vomit draft is actually decently good. It’s actually not terrible. It’s like second draft quality in some places.

Snippet below the cut (rated E duh)

Also mind you it's still a vomit draft so it's still very much "Gerri did this; Deborah did that" and you'll see me making notes to myself and inserting random FUCK THIS IS GOOD things in the middle of sentences because this is my process and I don't question it

Important side note: This is BY NO FUCKING MEANS an example of what a vomit draft should look like. This is MY vomit draft. This isn't your vomit draft. Vomit drafts are like fingerprints. Nobody's fingerprint is exactly like someone else's and that needs to be understood. I have 20 years of experience on my side, so I naturally phrase things in certain ways that newer writers might not automatically do, AND THAT'S OKAY!!!!! We all have our things that we do and we should never judge ourselves or be judged by what comes out in the vomit draft. Half of it will be thrown out anyway. This is the diarrhea draft; the shitty first draft; the vomit draft; the word salad draft. It's not the final product and should never be considered as such. Thank you for coming to my TEDTalk.

Ok enjoy x

A second button revealed the budding pudge of her middle, nestled deliciously under her breasts, full and large. VOMIT DRAFT DONT JUDGE IT Gerri held Deborah's gaze as she traced the center hem of the shirt with the tips of her fingers, following its delicate stitches along a coarse ridge.

Gerri straightened her spine and let the third button reveal her belly and the crisp line between her breasts and her middle, curving downward at a shallow angle. The fabric slid off one shoulder and laid slack at her forearm as Deborah surveyed the expanse of Gerri's skin, full of imperfections and various textures. In it, her skin held shallow estuaries of stretch marks, flowing through her like the life source of placenta blood vessels; her veins glowed blue at the thinner parts of her skin at her upper arms, sagging gently with small bubbles of cellulite and revealing hidden stardust still alive inside her body; her belly poked out with a small attitude—tried and true, just as Gerri herself was—daring anyone to attempt to disrespect her with a firm backlash hidden inside a gentle remark.

A fourth and final button let Gerri's torso free as Deborah lovingly moved the fabric to either side, sliding it off her arms into a pool around her rear, wrists the only things keeping it attached to her body, and took her in fully. Deborah's chest moved in shallow waves as she stared at the imperfect perfection of Gerri's torso. Its hills and valleys, its crests and dips, its firmness and slack: all things she, too, possessed on her own body, but unwilling to face the reality of it.

A tear slid down Deborah's face and she didn't wipe it away. Maybe she didn't know it had fallen at all. Maybe she wanted Gerri to see it. Either way, Gerri was glad to let it follow its journey to the tip of Deborah's chin where it hung on with vengeance until Deborah sniffed and tilted her head like she was taking in a new art piece; inquisitive and searching, almost yearning, for what she could find hidden among the gift before her FUCK THIS IS GOOD Gerri shifted to release her sleeves and tossed her shirt aside, the fabric lying in a disheveled heap near the end of the bed. She gave Deborah a cocked eyebrow—all business, no nonsense—and straightened her legs.

Deborah nodded and cleared her throat, motioning for Gerri to swing her legs off the side of the bed. She followed Gerri's smooth glide and knelt high at her knees with her nervous hands to either side of Gerri's thighs. Her fingers twitched at the silk beneath them.

“I don't know what to do. Once they're off, I mean.”

“Don't think about that right now. Focus on what your hands are doing and where your eyes are looking. Don't think, Deborah. Just act,” Gerri said with a nod, and Deborah let her fingers smooth over her thighs. “Let go.” Deborah sought out Gerri's supportive eyes with a look of a child who had been given permission to color on the walls GODDAMN THIS IS GOOD “Let go.”

With a new eagerness, Deborah let her shaking hands slide over the silk at Gerri's hips, feeling the smooth lumps in the fabric as they flicked under the weight of her fingers. She let her thumbs circle into Gerri's hip bones and her eyes narrow in on the way her thighs flattened out at the side against the mattress and met in the middle. She moved her fingers beneath the hem and let them glide around to the front. She halted momentarily, looking up for permission and earning a nod and a genuinely pleased smirk—one corner of Gerri's mouth pulled to the side, pushing her cheek into small ridges and reaching to the crows feet at her eyes.

Under Deborah's palm pushing tenderly into her belly, Gerri laid back in a smooth motion, cradling her weight under her hands and looking over her shoulder for a landing spot. Her hands rested just beneath her breasts on her belly, and Deborah shifted to stand over her petite length. Deborah leaned over and dutifully lifted the fabric at Gerri's hip up then pulled it down, revealing black lace panties in a flower design.

“A woman after my own heart.”

“Chanel and Chanel only,” Gerri confirmed with a pointed finger aimlessly floating above her. “Anything else makes me itch, and I'd rather not be distracted by an itchy crotch during business meetings. Pantyhose are torture enough.”

“The first assignment I gave Ava was to write me twenty jokes, but nothing about pantyhose or the Challenger disaster—I've done 'em all.”

“I should convince Roman to wear pantyhose for a week so he'll know what kind of hell I put up with on a daily basis. Maybe he won't be as annoying the next time we talk.”

“Good luck with that,” Deborah replied dryly. Gerri chuckled and motioned for Deborah to continue.

Deborah held Gerri's pants up at the hem and circled her hands around to her rear, pulling at the fabric with firm grip as Gerri lifted her hips and let Deborah remove the pants entirely. Pausing again to collect herself and pushing aside thoughts, Deborah wet her lips with a brief dart of her tongue and silently asked again to move forward. Gerri approved with a small smile, and Deborah did the same motion on her panties, lifting them up and down, her legs bowing at the knees in turn as the lace slid down her skin and finally off onto the floor.

Gerri's full naked frame lie before Deborah, her knees bent at the edge of the bed, and she took a gleeful inhale, pushing the breath back out with a small giggle and hand at her lips. Her eyes danced all over Gerri's body, never staying in one place for more than a second, finding something else new to focus on with each blink.

Gravity working against her, Gerri let her natural curves spread out and show themselves fully. Her breasts fell to the side near her upper arms, her belly flattened out but spilled over to the side in a nearly spherical shape, her legs squished against each other and connected at the V of her curl-covered center, and her hands found a new home resting comfortably at her sides. Her hair sprawled next to her head in a messy tangle akin to Elizabeth Siddal: study for Ophelia, by John Everett Millais. Everything about her was natural and unfettered... unfiltered in a way Deborah had never allowed herself to be, and altogether overwhelming.

Barely audible, Deborah clearly stated, “You're beautiful, Gerri.”

Gerri responded with an open palm inviting Deborah to connect them in a sisterhood of subverting societal expectations. Deborah laced their fingers together in a lazy embrace, neither needy nor resistant, simply truthful.

Apparently I never finished deltarune chapter 2 and that is a crime. But no worries I have fixed that now.

Anyway, I got this idea for a stupid little drawing when I was walking around hometown.

I had noticed the one froggit that had talked about a ghost singing and then immediately went and talked to Onionsan, who talked about someone singing underwater. I immediately thought it was Mettaton singing underwater so that's what I drew. It's probably not what Onionsan meant but whatever.

#please dont judge me for not finishing ch 2 till now #i wanted to fight spamton neo before i did #but my dodging skills are terrible so i never could #i just finally gave up and finished the giga queen battle instead #take this doodle as an apology for my crimes #my art #fanart #deltarune
