What if I told you that RoobrickMarine went and wrote an entire novella starring my 16th century dog couple? It's very canon-adjacent, well researched and thoughtfully put together, has inspired me a ton during these past months and it's now publicly available at AO3. I highly recommend it.
Hello! I met you through the That's Not My Neighbor comics (I've also seen more of your other art and I love it by the way!) I just wanted to ask you if you could draw some of Milkplane (Francis Mosses x Steven Rudboys) I just thought it was interesting but you don't have to do it , but if you do I would greatly appreciate it!
it is all chaos and entropy. the thing is that the chaos and entropy make it beautiful and lovely.
yes, it's true that nature and the universe are uncaring and unspecific, and that is terrifying. i have lived through some of the unfairness - i got born like this, with my body caving into itself, with this ironic love of dance when i sometimes can't stand up for longer than 15 minutes. i am a poet with hands that are slowly shutting down - i can't hold a pen some days. recently i found a dead bird on our front porch. she had no visible injuries. she had just died, the way things die sometimes.
it is also true that nature and the universe are uncaring and unspecific, and that is wonderful. the sheer happenstance that makes rain turn into a rainbow. the impossible coincidence of finding your best friend. i have made so many mistakes and i have let myself down and i have harmed other people by accident. nature moves anyway. on the worst day of my life she delivers me an orange juice sunset, as if she is saying try again tomorrow.
how vast and unknowing the universe! how small we are! isn't that lovely. the universe has given us flowers and harp strings and the shape of clouds. how massive our lives are in comparison to a grasshopper. the world so bright, still undiscovered. even after 30 years of being on this earth, i learned about a new type of animal today: the dhole.
chance echoing in my life like a harmony between two people talking. do you think you and i, living in different worlds but connected through the internet - do you think we've ever seen the same butterfly? they migrate thousands of miles. it's possible, right?
how beautiful the ways we fill the vastness of space. i love that when large amounts of people are applauding in a room, they all start clapping at the same time. i love that the ocean reminds us of our mother's heartbeat. i love that out of all the colors, chlorophyll chose green. i love the coincidences. i love the places where science says i don't know, but it just happens.
"the universe doesn't care about you!" oh, i know. that's okay. i care about the universe. i will put my big stupid heart out into it and watch the universe feast on it. it is not painful. it is strange - the more love you pour into the unfeeling world, the more it feels the world loves you in return. i know it's confirmation bias. i think i'm okay if my proof of kindness is just my own body and my own spirit.
i buried the bird from our porch deep in the woods. that same day, an old friend reaches out to me and says i miss you. wherever you go, no matter how bad it gets - you try to do good.
From left to right:
Rice (nightmare Tourette's sans)
Crack (horror Tourette's sans)
Snaps (killer Tourette's sans)
Pop (dust Tourette's sans)
Marsh (cross Tourette's sans)
Ofc, the usual:
Draw them all you want, but please don't try and represent their Tourette's without some proper research on it.
Don't ship them with other sanses publicly. It would make me uncomfortable.
A teensy bit of lore:
Rice has been doing this since long before he ever met any of the others, but he dragged them all into it too.
While their job is to keep balance in the multiverse, and keep Rice feed with negativity, they all share the hobby of studying and recording AUs.
And since the war is over with Rice's brother, they have permission to study the AUs in his territory too, as long as they don't cause any problems. But they are surprisingly well-behaved when studying a place, and usually stay out of sight.
✨️how you draw so well, I'm IN LOVE with the story ✨️✨️✨️ how Chris looks exactly when he's out of control, could you doodle what he looks like :3 I LOVE your drawings <3✨️✨️
Thank you so much! I'm glad you're enjoying it!
And ofc, I've been meaning to make some art about this...
In the Jaguar suit of cours, Diego has always been partial to cats.
To the outward gaze, he kinda just seems... zoned out. There are moments of clarity or recognition, but for the most part he almost doesn't react to much besides Diego's commands.
HEYOO!!! Love your art and ocs btw. So may I ask if you can please make one shot where Gorm is saving someone from drowning? Ik this is weird but you gotta know that imma weirdo so..
I'm happy you like them! This was entertaining to draw. ;)
Here's two I remember that I really like! (Also these are definitely not my ideas originally but I cannot for the life of me remember where I first saw them)
For Dream it's that he's just as strong as Nightmare. Like you see Nightmare lifting his henchmen with his tentacles all the time, Dream should also be able to lift like 3 people at a time. I wanna do something silly with it in my truce au but here's Blue finding out in the meantime (he lost his phone and Dream's helping him look for it)
For Nightmare it's that he can also do the starry-eyed thing that Dream and Blue and Cross can. Dream knows he could do it when they were kids but assumes the corruption changed that, but really it just doesn't happen very often so none of them have seen it. This is how it looks
Groups there at a fashion shoot or whatever Vil's thing is gonna be, photographer sees Vil being soft with Yuu (because romantically or platonically, Vil does have a soft spot for the prefect) and suggests it might be good for Vils image to have a shoot with Yuu, to show a new/rare side to him and Vil agrees.
Cut to Ace writhing as he watches Yuu and Vil pose together for the cameras, worse is thar Jamil and Azul smell the blood in the water and begin teasing him about how good Yuu and Vil look together. Not really realising that this is feeding into his fears that Yuu *can* do better than him so why put himself out there?
Meanwhile Yuu and Vil are in the dressing room for the next shoot and Yuu's going to Vil "Do you think Ace would think I'm cute in this one? 🥺👉👈" just...aahhh. Aceyuu
Vil is such a good character, friend, person, icon, etc. that I could see him maybe bringing Yuu along since they have the ghost camera and take pictures of the school events. This could be a good opportunity for them to make some connections in the fashion industry, and Vil gets to take some photos with his friends for once! I think he'd be really happy to have some photos with Yuu just to keep for memories sake.
And Jamil has got to know about Ace's little crush on Yuu. He was merciless in teasing Trein about his relationship with his wife, and he plays basketball with Ace. He knows. HE KNOWS. As soon as Vil starts posing with Yuu and his eyes are immediately on Ace and he has that stupid infuriating little smile because seriously? "You think you can compete with Vil?" And Ace immediately starts to fumble because maybe he didn't realize until just now just how actually close to Vil you are and Azul oh Azul, he adjusts his glasses and just immediately goes in on trying to sell his services. Hey sucker fell for it once and if Yuu comes riding to rescue again Ace won't be able to complain because no matter what happens he'll have gotten a chance to be closer to you. Really it's genius, now why don't you just sign here...
Meanwhile Vil is giving Yuu some tips on how he'd style their outfit and helping them pick the best pictures to show Ace because while he might not get the appeal he does really like seeing his friends happy. He'll make sure you get your loser or his name isn't Vil Schoenheit fr fr
I'm curious, how would your Suns design look during more serious situations, such as one of the Spearmaster broadcasts?
something like this
and now for a (slightly long) addendum: i know i depict SRS as jokey and kooky, but when it comes to not shitposting and actual characterization, i have Thoughts and Feelings about them. the entire story, they just want to do what they hope will help the people around them, even though it all ends up horribly, HORRIBLY wrong. that's tragic, and it has my interest. considering the heaviness (and intrigue) of SRS’s storyline, for me to only ever depict them as a goofball be way too shallow of me, and unfaithful to their canon characterization.
so to answer your question: they hold themselves together, of course, but the shame, regret, and embarrassment is still evident.
