Hi there!! I just saw your tags on the Vash marksman appreciation post and I really REALLY gotta know your thoughts on the fight choreography bc while I did martial arts as a kid I don’t remember everything and just extremely curious!! Wanna appreciate the thoughts put behind making this boyo!!
👀👀!!! Yes, hello! (Note: I'm also about 10yrs rusty out of practice in hapkido--a Korean defensive art that combines many styles from judo/aikido/etc, so while I may not remember all the formal terms and stuff, I can still SEE the very real and very sexy close combat choreography + randori/grapples/ground work they're smoothly throwing in there!) I've briefly tag-ranted on some former gifs I've reblogged here & here but OK, I can indulge into a little more detail! :D
Let's start with this gif, which is such a nice introductory tease!
Tumblr media
The point-blank bullet dodging is some of that sick looking 'rule of cool' inhuman spice, but oh what's this?? 👀 The other dude is dumbly holding his arm out (non-defensively, since if that guy were smart about close fighting, he'd have his other hand up at the ready too) right in Vash's personal space, ripe for the taking - to which OH YES he easily blocks with the prosthetic arm and transitions right into a throw for the takedown. Where he shoves the fool over his shoulder with a lot more power (which is hard to do, esp from a standing position without a solid grip on any lapels either; woo he just goes right in for it), rather than using the dude's own momentum against him, since the guy's literally just standing there (as a stationary weight) rather than trying to punch him in a brawl. But LOOK what else Vash does!!! His block with the prosthetic becomes a grip that both holds/pulls onto the guy's arm during the throw and disarms the guy - by tossing his gun away, in one swift movement! :O Not only that, but there!! We see the first quick tease of him reverse-griping his own heavy brick of a gun into a tonfa position to strike the guy at the back of the neck for a non-lethal stun!!! That is SO cool!!! ;o; Some galaxy-brained application of his no-killing fighting style (using both arms + his revolver in his repertoire...oh wait, that already makes up the title's literal 3 guns *gets shot*) where it looks so fresh and seamlessly smooth af. Great stuff.
Then the Livio fight, despite him being double-armed with long-range weapons, is full of close-range gold from the way Vash tackles him, straddles him, and pins him to the floor with a (forceful!) choke to the throat (like whoa excuse me hello), but ALSO from the self-aware way Vash always has his guard up to keep both of Livio's guns out of the way at all times. D: Whether parrying bullets with his prosthetic, blocking/holding the guns away with that arm too (as shown), or even using his own gun defensively as a tonfa-shield to reinforce his blocks as well.
Tumblr media
So then we get to THIS GIF, the same sequence that drove you insane for his smooth marksmanship tracking, drives ME insane for his immediate close-quarters holywhattheflyingshit did he just DO!?!?!?! 👀👀
Tumblr media
LOOK AT HIM!!! Honestly it's kinda hard to see everything from how fast he goes, but I love the way he zips in there to grapple Livio off-balance, and ahh!! Look at the way Vash ducks and defensively keeps both arms up (this is SO important, because once you've trained you'll notice how in so many movies/comics' 'rule of cool' martial arts moves, they'll often have a character wildly swing their arms out to the sides to counter-balance kicks and stuff, but no--that's bad/unsafe form; bc if you're in a real fight you need to keep both arms up and ready at all times if you want to protect your core/face from getting blown off! Which just as you've noted, is something that needs to be practiced! The fact Vash has kept his unblemished pretty face for 150yrs is testament to that~) Vash knows how to simultaneously use his prosthetic AND his gun as needed--cause look at that, he swiftly holds it reversed as a tonfa again to block Livio's gun swing, which is a really cool way to use a gun as a shield to protect his own flesh arm from the incoming blows.
But that's not all, because ahaaa~ Fighting defensively is not all he's got up his sleeve! The little boxing jab he throws to Livio's face with his prosthetic arm makes me giggle, because OH YEAH that's a real thing! A type of distraction strike you pull - the same as stomping on a foot or kicking someone in the balls, to disorient your opponent off-guard first before you serve your real (offensive) move. Which in Vash's case leads up to a....O___O;;!?!? TF is THAT.
Here's where they're teasing in more of that inhuman spice again, because Vash holds Livio's guns out of the way (as usual) and revs up for a....fucking one-punch to the solar plexus at point-blank?!? D8 Whatwhatwhatwhat!!! Because that wasn't his gun's doing at all; he was still holding it defensively in that arm as a tonfa! That was his real arm's natural brute strength bitch!!! aaaahaha!!! wow I love it. The guy modestly says he's not much of a fighter but that's not trueeee at all, is it~ ;) I can SEE real proof of that otherwise and I can't wait for what else studio orange will show us to blow our minds.
*Ahem* So anyway did I ever mention how much I like the way he reverses the grip on his gun to use as a tonfa? (both defensively as a shield to protect himself and offensively to stun/strike his opponents with) For thematically how much it seamlessly works for his fighting style to never kill, for how the improvised (but practiced!) close-range practicality and versatility of it looks crazy awesome, and because damn, that shit's hot.

Arcane One Piece AU (Fem!ZoSan centric)
Ok so this all started because of this post and galaxy braining with the amazing @anniilaugh can’t you just IMAGINE dyke Zoro circling and Kabedon-ing (pin against the wall) Sanji like “You’re hot, cook- so what’ll it be? Man or woman?” As they go into the brothel looking for information? SHE DREW THE BEST ART OF VI!ZORO RIGHT HERE BTW
Sanji is good with her legs so she would impress Zoro with her parkour skills
Sanji has a Taz British accent (like Caitlin has a British accent) but with lots of cursing (Zeff’s influence) “bollocks!” And some French cursing as well since he learned it as a kid (putain! Merde! Fait chier!)
Zoro wears the same hot dyke clothes Vi does- arms fully out, and pulls her hood on when she’s serious (like the bandana). She also has cool tattoos and the hand wrap things
She fights with hextech swords that look just like hilts until they’re turned on and the blades appear - she carries them looped in carabiners around her waist (seriously look at the art)
World-building wise: Underworld Zaun Kingpin Doflamingo (Silco) with the drug “SMILE” who has Piltover higher ups and police in his pocket (he has leverage like in one piece)
SMILE gives people strange powers but temporarily, like temporary devil fruits that leave you broken and drained
Powder is Luffy, Zoro’s adoptive little brother, they were raised by Kuma (Vander) after his failed revolution where their parents die, growing up with a small crew of misfit friends (including Kuina, who dies)
The tragedy happens and Zoro gets put into prison (on Doffy’s orders) while Luffy thinks Zoro abandoned him and is taken in by Doffy, becoming “Nika” (his unhinged alter ego is gear 5 like Jinkx is to Powder) , now growing up along kids like Law, Baby 5 etc . His hair went white from the stress of that fateful night/or he bleaches it
Caitlin!Sanji grows up in Piltover as a noble with the abusive Vinsmokes but runs away and gets taken in by a chef called Zeff (who lost his leg in the failed revolution but managed to start anew, tries to help Zaun how he can, sending food etc)
Zeff gets put in prison by the Vinsmokes to control Sanji and she’s forced to become an enforcer (Fem!Sanji in that little uniform oh god. Smoking her cigarettes with a stupid little hat and the gun she does her best to avoid using)
She still works after her enforcer shifts at the Baratie since shes always itching to cook, feed the hungry and to support party and carne and keep her adoptive dad’s restaurant alive (she knows of how bad people have it in Zaun, and before Zeff found her she was hungry and homeless)
Her weapon of choice is actually something she has strapped to her legs from her thighs to her calves (Zoro will be very distracted) some hextech steampunk looking thing that powers up her kicks and she can send her kicks energy forward to do mid range attacks
She uses her enforcer job to snoop around and try and figure out how to get her father out
Her lead takes her to Stilwater prison where Zoro has been beat and abused for several years
Cue scene where Sanji walks in to Zoro’s cell and sees her boxing like crazy and fuck she’s so hot wtf but also she feels terrible for her and her blood boils as she learns of the abuse she went through
Telling herself she must be going absolutely insane (but is she? She feels like this is the right thing. It’s fate) she forges release documents to get Zoro out, sure that her knowledge of the under-city will help her understand where the corruption lies and get Zeff back
Zoro immediately does not follow what she’s saying and goes on her own thing (PARKOUR!) and she impresses her by being able to keep up
Zoro still gets lost and turned around
Are you sure you know the under-city, mosshead?
Zoro stops at a street food stall and Sanji is annoyed at first- as well as disgusted by how she shovels it in her mouth, but softens and silently rages when Zoro shares that she’s been starved a couple of times in Stillwater
Cue the brothel scene omg
Circling Sanji and pushing her up against a wall “You’re hot, cook. So what’ll it be, man or woman?”
Zoro walking by Sanji talking up another woman in the brothel after her talk with Nami (head of the brothel) and smiling to herself
Jayce is Franky who is experimenting with the crystals to create hextech, Viktor could be iceburg, Vivi is the hot politician lady (Mel)
Firelight is “Sogeking” - zoro and Luffy’s childhood friend Usopp (Ekko)
Also Taller than Zoro Sanji aaaaa
Zoro calling Sanji “officer” to annoy her - only switching to “cook” and “curly” as an alternative nickname

Hate that my form of hyperfixation is consuming and not creating.
I think I've been falling in love with ideas my whole life. I see colors and concepts and characters, and I want every part of the illusion to play around my body and immerse my mind and soul. I thought growing up I would be an artist. When that mentally shattered, I moved on to thinking I would become an author. Now, however, I don't know what or who I'll be. All I know is that my brain never stops coming up with ideas. 
Yet, with all these ideas comes the possibility of creation. It's what I want, isn't it? I want to create these pictures and stories and share them with the world. So, why am I motionless in my pursuit to bring my mind to life? I have a library in my head. There's a girl in there. Her favorite color is blue. She doesn't know if life is worth living. I have an art museum there too. There's a portrait of a dying renegade, and a demon alter ego desiring joy. Then there's the realm of fandoms. The endless multiverse of continuations and alternatives.  
There's a lot going on inside my brain and imagination. Chemicals I do not understand and signals I cannot control. An abundance of beauty only an individual can conjure with their subjectivity. With no outlet for these thoughts and images, I find it all to be too much at times. Wings heavy on my back and flightless under the pressure. The ability to soar is there, but the weight within is burdensome.  
Every day I come up with something new. Some ideas are fresh while others are another line on the loom, but that is all they are. Thoughts. Ideas. Invisible whisps, webs, and wishes. It's as if the only part of my frontal lobe that works is that of imagination and complex thinking. I attempt short stories, painting, studying, chores, school projects, craft projects and I never get them done. Planning, time management, logical reasoning, and decision-making have all taken a backseat. I can't get any of them done, so I turn to what has already been done. 
I rewatch a favorite show. I read another fanfic. I click on a YouTube video and another. I scroll Tumblr. I read character analysis. I try on the clothes in my closet. I add shit to my wish list. I post photos from two months ago on my Instagram. I relate to autistic ADHD tiktokers. I pretend Pinterest will help me get my life together. I think about the MCU. I watch another comfort, crime, haunted, mythical series. I visit my AO3 bookmarks. I doom scroll whatever app I can get my eyes on. I turn thirteen again and either spiral into a depressive state or become infatuated with the Hunger Games--again.
The point is, I can't force my brain to work on the original ideas. Sitting at a desk with supplies doesn't get my hands moving. I fall numb waiting for my body and mind to comply with my intentions. So, I end up here again. Hitting a heart button to let other people know that their commentary and hard work have reached me, and I liked it.  
I don’t want all my ideas and universes to end where they are. I don’t want to minimize or invalidate my existence, or the experiences of others like me, by remaining artistically stagnant. I want my mind to be a visual tangible galaxy free to be roamed and explored. I want to have my heart in my hands, and I want to give it to every single person that I can. I want these thoughts, these precious ideas out of my head and into yours, dear reader. I don't want to consume; I want to create. If I'm going to go down the rabbit hole, I want to be the rabbit. The entrance maker. Not the lost girl I am right now.

dare not say that a man forgets sooner; i have loved none but you
The Dead on Main fanfic I promised. AO3 link here! First chapter is short.
(Edit 3/6/23 for clarity)
Chapter One: The Invite
Constantine knew that, on occasion, he had the seemingly-supernatural ability to get himself into some really, truly, utterly bonkers situations. Being a magician in the first place would be a good starting place, much less having effectively escaped death itself by selling his soul sixty ways to Sunday. 
But this?
This was the shit frosting on the particularly radioactive, glowing-green shit cake.
Really, his day had been going pretty well before all of this happened. Comparatively. There hadn’t been any major crises or bullshit that he’d been dragged into, or forced to consult on. The only thing on his docket was the meeting at the Watchtower he was being “asked” to “advise” on, regarding a JLD matter that had the potential to need the daylight League. See, he knew it wasn’t necessary, but the damn Bat was so paranoid he’d jump at a shadow if it so much as flickered the wrong way, so. 
Watchtower it was.
The meeting had progressed relatively normally, to his relief, but close to the end, right when he’d started considering actually lighting the cigarette that dangled between his teeth, right when he’d started properly zoning out… power zipped down his spine, shocking him into sitting straight up. Cold shot down his arms, gooseflesh rising at the sensation as he blinked, then cursed. Captain Marvel shot up as well, looking around like he’d been hit over the head with a pan.
Death magic.
“Get back from the table, you bloody-!” Before he could even finish the curse, a glowing green hole in goddamned reality ripped open in front of his eyes, hovering above the table. It hurt to look at, frankly, the sickly neon green turning to black to green to purple to white to green-- 
Augh, Jesus. He tore his eyes away before the not-fully-in-reality hole could melt his brain. “Don’t look at the damn thing,” he barked, shielding his eyes slightly with a hand.
“What is it,” Bats growled, every line in his posture screaming defense, tenseness, ready to fight.
“It’s-”
A sharp, comical, almost cartoonish pop hit their ears, once again cutting the Brit off as two envelopes fluttered to the meeting room table, the hole in reality just. Disappearing. There one second, gone the next before he could even process. 
Constantine sighed heavily, taking a long, long swig from the flask tucked into his coat pocket before he examined the letter, noting the swirling black script addressed to him. Well, nothing really to lose, he noted, picking it up and breaking the seal quickly.
To John Constantine, Tenant of the House of Mystery, Master of the Arcane Arts, Deceiver of Death, and all other titles that he Lay Claim to;
His High Majesty of the Infinite Realms, of Purgatory, of the Underworld and all other names through History and Time, High King Daniel Phantom, Balance of Life and Death, Champion of All, Ancient of Space, requests your presence at the upcoming Samhain Ball. 
Attire is black-tie, masks are optional, and weapons are restricted. All souls upon acceptance of this invitation shall be bound to an oath of peace for the duration of the Ball, which shall last one Earth day, twenty-four hours, or one rotation of the Planet Earth orbiting Sol in the Milky Way Galaxy.
Accommodations for all who request it shall be made in the King’s Keep in the Infinite Realms, with travel, food, and all other necessary needs provided. 
The Samhain Ball is dated to October 31st, 20XX to the early morning of November 1st, 20XX. 
Please either accept or decline this invitation by October 5th, 20XX so the appropriate accommodations can be arranged.
-Their Excellency, Ancient of Time, Former Consort of King Pariah Dark, Advisor to the King, Lord Clockwork of the Infinite Realms

I've followed you since Deviantart, from the Sauron stuff, I dont quite remember but I think I literally followed you FROM deviantart to tumblr when you moved (if I remember that right, my memory is ass so might not be correct)? Anyway, the ultimate reward of doing that is clearly getting to see your Clover/Halsin art. Giving Halsin alpha traits is so galaxy brained. It has all led me here to see this genius take. Thank you /chefkiss
Oh hello! Yes that was way back when I first started posting online, I was on tumblr and deviantart at the same time I believe. So glad you're enjoying these two, I'm having a great time :) Although Halsin is very attentive and considerate Clover sure did fall in love for the first time on high difficulty. However Clover is difficult-- he's had a rough and very lonely life in which he could only rely on himself so feeling like he was beginning to need this other person was terrifying at first. He didn't fall into his arms at hello so Halsin's having to work for it just as much.
There's so much I have planned 🤧

kit’s foray into another star wars ship (dinluke)
is kit a) expanding her horizons, b) running from her responsibilities, or c) inspired by that fan art of force ghost anakin hugging r2d2 (linked when found) and me thinking ok what if luke is trying to do run-of-the-mill maintenance on artoo but force ghost anakin won’t stop trying to suggest what needs fixing so they’re just bickering back and forth over droid engineering and din walks in to visit his kid and just sees luke arguing with thin air and starts thinking maybe he left grogu in the care of a madman
(so far just 1k, but here’s the first 800)
Din lives his life by one very important creed.
Alright, two very important creeds.
The first is the one that he grew up with, mantra stamped across the back of his eyelids, words imprinted in his brain. The Way of the Mandalore is a way of honor, and it serves as pillar, foundation, and guiding stone of his life.
The second creed Din obeys is not ingrained into his mind by anyone but himself, and he’s fucking shit at following it.
It’s the Do Not Get Involved Unless You’re Dragged Into The Fight Kicking and Screaming creed, and it goes hand in hand with the principles of Do Not Start Fights You Cannot End Within Twenty Seconds and For the Love of the Stars, Djarin, Don’t Go Around Poking Sleeping Krayt Dragons.
Alright. If he’s being honest, this is less of a creed and more of an aspiration, but he tries to abide by its tenets, and, it has to be said, for a good portion of his life, he does. 
And then he finds the kid.
And then the kid becomes his kid, which is an adjustment he’s dragged into kicking and screaming, and it definitely involves a lot of fights that last a whole lot longer than twenty seconds.
And trying to find a Jedi in a galaxy as big and strange as this one? Apparently it involves a lot more sleeping Krayt Dragons than Din’s second creed accounted for.
But finding one—or, one finding them as it may be—well. No creed Din knows prepared him for how it felt to watch his kid be taken away from him. It’d been the optimal future, the end result he’d been gunning for for months: return the kid to his people.
There. Done. Returned. Package received.
Din’s been around long enough that successful bounties and completed contracts don’t tend to fill him with a warm rush of satisfaction anymore.
But this is the first that’s ever left him feeling hollow.
—-------------
“What’s been eating at you, Mando?” Karga asks. 
Din scowls and resists the urge to shift his weight. “Nothing.”
Karga raises an eyebrow and takes a sip from the cooling purple drink in front of him.
“You wanted the Imp,” Din says when the silence stretches from pointed into weighted. “Here’s the Imp.”
He nudges the head further across the table.
“I wanted the Imp for questioning,” Karga says very slowly. “Ideally with his vocal cords attached.”
Oh. Din glances down at the bloody bag. “Oh.”
He doesn’t try to sound very apologetic, which only seems to make Karga’s exasperation grow.
“So I ask again. What’s eating you, Mando?”
“Right now, bounties with unclear parameters.”
“Right now, you’ve only earned half the bounty, and that’s because I’m a generous man who considers you a friend. Now I can see ourselves coming to agreement on what you’re owed—if you tell me what’s on your mind.”
Behind the safety of his helmet, Din scowls harder. “Friend.”
Greef kicks the chair across from him out and tilts his cup towards it. “Friend.”
—-----------
Two hours later, Din is thoroughly convinced he used his glowing new Darksaber to sever the wrong person’s head.
Greef hasn’t stopped laughing in the last ten minutes. The man’s red in the face, alternating between pounding his fist on the table and leaning against his new marshal. Dune, for her part, is expressing the highest amount of mirth Din’s ever seen as she hiccups with glee into her third drink. 
He’s really starting to calculate the probability of successfully taking Karga’s coin purse off him now that he’s distracted, when the man finally chokes out whole words.
“Worried the Jedi’s too violent to raise the little green guy!”
Din crosses his arms over his chest.
Dune roars with laughter. 
Din doesn’t think it’s very funny. The Jedi sliced through the ranks of Dark troopers within mere seconds, as if they were no threat at all. It’d been impressive. The man—the Jedi—had been impressive. Din was impressed by his skill when he had the space to feel anything outside the devastation of losing the kid.
But a man that versed in violence doesn’t learn those sorts of skills without being surrounded by death and destruction for years.
And Din just gave his kid over to be raised in that kind of environment? 
Was Grogu even safe? Was he alive? Was the Jedi even lookin—
“The bounty hunter thinks the kid’s new home is too violent,” Karga cackles. “The guy—the guy who just brought me a man’s head in a pouch is worried about the little green guy’s new—-”
Dune snorts out her drink, she’s laughing so hard, and Din stands to leave.
If he knicks Karga’s coin purse on his way out the cantina, then hey. 
What are friends for?

Hi. I'm your new follower & new 🐢 . I want to say thank you for all your hardwork & comforting yet realistic words (which I really enjoy reading). You didn't sugarcoat your words & help me to see things from new perspective. I just want to ask about this photo- xiao zhan in water. Is this the official photo uploaded by zhan ge?
I read somewhere that there is a hidden photo of xz & wyb from ddu days in the photo. I just noticed that. I'm not sure if the hidden photo is matching or not but one thing- no matter how many times I look at this photo, I'll notice right away the circle part. Suddenly this part becomes so obvious to me that I can no longer ignore it. Am I only seeing things? Am I overthinking?
What do you think?
Thanks for reading this.
Tumblr media
The suspected hidden photo from ddu:
Tumblr media
Hi new turtle! 💛🐢💛
Thanks so much for your kind words. I'm glad you're enjoying my blog! 😊
Fake, fan fiction, CPN.
I do not tend to go in for this type of candy. It's a bit galaxy 🤡 brain for me. But let's take a look.
Yes, this is a real photo uploaded to the Xiao Zhan Studio account on 3 July.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The relevant section of the image, taken straight from the XZ Studio post and enlarged to 300%, no other alterations made.
Arguments in favor of this being real and intentional:
I do believe that GG hides things sometimes in his art and images. He's sneaky and seems to enjoy messing with people and giving them something to ponder (possibly including DD, who is likely the real target for most of this stuff). A good example of this is his ideal life painting, which most turtles know and love.
GG used to work professionally as a graphic designer. He's highly skilled in Photoshop and perfectly capable of creating something that leaves the right degree of doubt/plausible deniability.
Given the current climate it is harder to get away with dropping candies. This is the sort of thing that's pretty safe to do. It's totally harmless and not something that will go on hot search or be noticed by passersby, and those who believe in it will be dismissed as crazy even by some other turtles, let alone passersby.
Those ripples look 'wrong'. Regardless of whether it's the result of an optical illusion or intentional manipulation, there is something unnatural about the appearance of the ripples/reflections/shadows in that area.
Arguments in favor of this being imagined:
The image definitely doesn't match the DDU one turtles are claiming was used. Assuming this is two people talking, the heads are positioned entirely differently, and the clothing isn't the same. (That doesn't mean it can't be some other image, but using an image that doesn't match definitely weakens the credibility of this).
There's not really much point in doing this. It doesn't serve much of a purpose beyond entertaining the few turtles who buy it.
Humans are somewhat hardwired to see patterns in things that are otherwise neutral or meaningless. The phenomenon is called pareidolia. I would imagine it's even more likely to happen in situations where people are actively looking for patterns, as many turtles do whenever something new is posted.
Tumblr media
Pareidolia in Iceland: elephant rock.
This isn't the first time turtles have seen 'hidden photos' in posts from GG.
Last year turtles claimed to see a photo of DD as LWJ in the ripples of a photo of him in a swimming pool. I was too busy looking at his leg hair legs to notice.
Tumblr media
The relevant section of the image, taken straight from the XZ Studio post and enlarged to 300%, no other alterations made.
Tumblr media
The shape some turtles believe is hidden in the image.
There is another ancient CPN about a photo supposedly hidden in one of GG's art posts.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(Sorry, I can't find the actual photo that people think he used, but it's the rear view of the one inset above. If anyone has the right photo please send it my way and I'll update the post. Thanks.)
EDIT: Here's the image showing the connection fans see. There's a detailed breakdown of some other hidden elements in this post.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Like I said, I'm not totally sold on this CPN. I go back and forth on it all the time. Sometimes they seem totally credible to me and other times I think they're an optical illusion. If I had to give it a percentage, I'd say I'm 60% in the 'these types of hidden photo candies are real' camp, and 40% 'they're not real'.
Everyone should just form their own opinions based on their own perceptions. CPN like this can't be proved, but it's also difficult to wash, so everyone is free to make up their own mind.
This CPN is pretty harmless, and (if real) I think that's kind of the point, right? Giving us something that is easily denied/dismissed.
As a new turtle you might also find my masterlist post helpful.

Appearing in a new universe is disorienting, alarming, and scary. And Piter is the sort who sternly expects life to make sense and follow established physical rules! It rankles him to be forced to suppose that something 'magical' has happened to him. He spent his first few days here keeping to himself. He needed time to process it all, and he didn't suppose he was in any kind of mood another person would want to be around (a fair assessment).
Once the initial shock wore off, though, horror and disgust gave way to... wonder. Because this isn't just any alternative universe. It's an alternative Earth. Earth. Where it all started. The cradle of humankind. In a sense, he was snatched away from home; in another sense, he's never been home until this moment. How could he not be fascinated?
He didn't know his surname was Dutch. He didn't know there was ever such a place as Holland.
He supposedly has a job here, and he's been loosely in communication with his boss, building stories and reasons why he can't come back to work just yet. No, not today either. He decides that if he has a job, he must be damn good at it, and therefore hard to replace. He's always been this way about work, it wouldn't be different in another universe. So he keeps stringing the boss along, and for the moment it's working.
Today, Piter is visiting the Natural History Museum. He has always been emotional. Too emotional for a Mentat, and far too emotional in general, by Vladimir Harkonnen's standards. It's hard to stay composed as he walks from exhibit to exhibit, learning new things about his very species with every step.
Why isn't everyone in here? Why aren't more of, any of, the people who are here openly weeping? Look at all of this.
Before humanity was an empire that stretched across the galaxy, humanity was a funny kind of animal on a little blue marble. And look, look, people invented things and fought wars and loved each other and made art and all of that. It's all right here, behind the glass. And they did it all for the future, because they believed it was all building towards something, and it's only because of them that Piter is here and the world he's from exists. They did it all for him, and he never even saw it, and he didn't even turn out to be that good of a person, his society is not that good of a society, and look at all of this right here, the people who lived on Earth still made all of this stuff anyway and believed in a future anyway...
Tumblr media
Someone asks him if he's okay. He turns to them (his eyes are fully blue, not right) and explains, "What? Oh, yes; thank you, you're too kind. I was just experiencing time on a scale my brain wasn't meant to process, for a moment there, I think. You know... museum vertigo, ha ha."
Privately, and wincing inwardly a little, he supposes 'museum vertigo' isn't really a thing. But in 20,000 years, it will be.

doodle requests are currently CLOSED.
i reserve the right to choose & reorganize my queue based on wherever inspiration strikes (it's not that i don't like your OC ~ it's just that my creativity is a fickle thing). i do tend to most enjoy drawing humanoid femmes with reckless hair in the gotg fandom, so they will probably get priority.

azem so cute T_T!!!!! i always thought they looked like the trans flag with the pink and blue hair but didn't want to make assumptions, was it on purpose or just because blue and pink always look good together (SINCE THEY RLLY DO !!)
thank you for sharing your art here with us <3 i cant wait for the azemet fanbook !!!!
Tumblr media
THANK U .·°՞(≧□≦)՞°·.
pink + blue and pink + mint green are top tier combos ✌️(˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶)
im making up for years of denying that i like pink things by having an extremely pink azem (and by extension, wol). although i wish i was galaxy brained enough to have done it on purpose, the colour scheme came first and the personal headcanons came later haha
i agonized deliberated over whether or not to mention that azem is trans but it is going to be an unavoidable part of a bunch of r18 works coming up so! perfect opportunity for me to just say it directly!
more chatter about ocs, identities, and navigating the trans experience in fandom as a nb person i don't think a content warning is necessary but just let me know and i'll tag properly.
anyways. azem is trans. i am not. wol is… well, they will tell me when it's relevant!
i don't generally go out of my way to talk about myself much in public spaces because i'd rather have the focus be on my creative works instead. at the same time there's been an upswing in policing identities. i don't think you should have to prove whether you can explore something in fiction, so long as your intent is not malicious. joyful and respectful exploration of marginalized groups in fiction is good though ah.. it can be very difficult if it’s not something you have lived experience with.
despite saying that, i still have (had) (will continue to have) doubts whether shrimp genders azem is something i have the right to explore as a nb person. is my OC trans enough? what does it mean to be trans in fiction? is suffering an inherent part of the trans experience, or can you simply…be? (i have trans character imposter syndrome, if you would.)
i can understand why someone would want to have a certain experience in fiction where they can control the narrative and regain agency in that regard, but it’s not something I personally need or want for my OC. azem simply is what they are, and suffering for their identity is not part of the experience I’m writing into him. azem's trans-ness is simply another aspect of their physical features like pastel pink and mint hair or being shorter than venat.
all this goes to say… i will make mistakes, probably. if i do, it's from a lack of understanding.
this was really long so thanks for reading this far and hopefully you enjoy whatever i have planned next!

THE MISADVENTURES OF BEAN SPROUT
Episode 1 - A Normal Day In Suburbia
*apologies that it runs a bit short!!!!!!!
(ALL FRANCHISE-BASED WORKS BELONG TO THEIR RIGHTFUL OWNERS)
Sit back, Relax, and Enjoy!!
White-picket fences, barbed wire and trenches…
These are what Auburn was generally described with. It was a town of joy, happiness, sorrow, chaos, deep-minded people…Basically anything goes. Some people go on long and quiet days in their room, while others go to Mulberry Beach. Maybe others wanted to see Prosopagnosia Museum to look at great works of art. Perhaps you could go to the Amaryllis Town Center to go shopping for your daily needs. You could go to the Burgundy Boardwalk to see new sights and sounds…
There’s a good range of everything.
However, our story takes a turn. This tale revolves around our childish yet violent anti-hero rabbit creature, Bean Sprout. Today they’re in a doctor’s office. One of their friends is operating on an injury they got while taking a dangerous trek through the most dangerous place imaginable…
“That’s not true, Bean. You fell off the high-dive at the local pool.”
“It is true! My whole body hurts now.”
“Only your hands should hurt.”
“Not as much as yours though.”
“Just be quiet.”
“Right. Sorry, Mr Strange.”
That’s right. Bean is friends with Dr. Strange. How? I don’t know, it just happened one day and that brought us here.
Stephen sighed. “How old are you Bean? Like 12?
“Excuse you! I’m 28!
“You don’t look or act like you’re 28.”
“I can look and act like I’m-”
Just then, Stephen poked their hand accidentally, making them let out a cartoon-like shout.
“YEOWCH!!!!”
“Sorry, sorry. Let me get that.
“:[“
“Bean…don’t look at me like that.”
“I got an ouchie :[“
“Bean, you’re fine. You’re a disciple to a literal god. He can get you a new body if you ever die.”
“But ouchie :[
Also, don’t go around saying that, Mr. Strange. There are dangerous people coming for my throat as we speak.”
“Well, maybe…you shouldn’t have killed all of those people when you were 12.”
“I was young! Naive even! I wasn’t thinking clearly! Brains aren’t fully developed until you’re 25 you know.”
“...It doesn’t seem like yours right now is fully developed either.”
“What?”
“Don’t worry about it.”
As their surgery was done, Bean thanked him and went off on their merry way. They went to the beach to relax. They took off their shoes and put their little bunny paws in the sand.
“Ah…peace and quiet…”
A ship was being taken down by a kraken in the distance.
“Like I said…peace and quiet…”
There was a person on fire, screaming in agony as their skin peeled off behind them.
“He’ll walk it off.”
They smiled and began burying themself in the sand. Yeah, they aren’t the most morally-correct or empathetic person out there, but they didn’t care. They were having fun and that’s all that mattered. They were part of the Guardians of The Galaxy for god’s sake! They were a big time Toon in 1956 Hollywood. They worked for the President as a D.S.O Agent. They were happily married to 97 different people. Their brothers were Ash Williams and Ethan Winters. They are heavily considered to be adopt-able. Their uncles were Arthur Morgan and Tony Stark. Their cousins were the Animaniacs, which technically made them Warner Brothers property legally. They’re wanted for several millions of units in the galaxy and are still on the run from being put on death row. Their sister was the Savior of the Mutiverse, Kai Drew! There’s seemingly nothing they aren’t capable of doing.
Later in the day, they went over to an afternoon barbecue at someone’s household. They went in and stood next to Monarch Lovelace, the sexiest butterfly hybrid around. He was holding a glass of white wine, as was Bean.
“Hi Monarch!”
“Oh hello, Bean. it’s good to see you.”
“How are you? :3”
“Good. You?”
“I got hand surgery today.”
“Oh, are you okay? Did it go well?”
“Mhm. I’m fine. It went well.”
“That’s good.”
Monarch smiled warmly and held both of the bunny’s hands. He pressed a gentle kiss on them.
“I think this was a good close for today. Don’t you agree, Bean?”
“Yeah…It sure was-” Bean was being totally normal and not insane about the guy doing that just now while they were in proximity.
Monarch put a hand over their shoulder as they both watched the people at the party have fun at the gathering…

We have the Batman Who Laughs, but could you imagine if there was the reverse? Like the Joker Who Cant Smile or something. Like instead of batman killing joker and essentially "becoming" him, batman dies and joker "becomes" him. Idk how that would happen i just think that the idea would be cool.
And yes this was inspired by onebadnoodle's drawing
This is such a COOL IDEA, you're right!! That art is amazing, oh my god. I didn't know of it. The Joker Who Can't Laugh. The Unsmiling Joker. Freaking galaxy-brained take right here and I need this in my life very badly.
How would he end up like that though... Hm. Funny thing is, Joker has a canonical tendency to take on different identities, other than Joker, when he thinks Batman is dead. So this falls within a conceivable realm, I just feel it'd take some very specific circumstances for how Bruce dies. If he died on accident or someone else killed him, Joker would more likely hunt them down, destroy everything, kill himself -- he wouldn't change himself. Batman Who Laughs as a concept is a Bruce whose brain has been rewritten to work like Joker's. It's not a combination of them, it's a Batman who agrees with Joker's methods. But what would a Joker who agrees with Batman's methods look like?
Ironically, something like Red Hood, maybe? He'd kill, but with a twisted version of Bruce's code. And if Bruce becomes Batman Who Laughs via him killing Joker, which symbolizes him breaking his one rule irrevocably and going dark -- the opposite for Joker wouldn't be killing Batman, I feel. Or rather, it wouldn’t be that on purpose. If Batman is tempted by the darkness (Joker's "Kill me and become like me"), Joker should be tempted by the light (Bruce's "I can help you"). It's what Snyder and then King have alluded to in other comics: the fact Joker wants to be stopped, that deep down he wishes Bruce would prove him right, that the world does make sense and that there is hope. So, my first instinct for a Joker Who Can't Laugh's backstory is a world in which Bruce managed to help him. Maybe a form of rehabilitation; maybe a trigger made Joker face his past and gain back some of his empathy; but all of it would have Bruce at the center, he'd be the one helping. And within this kind of context, if Joker had a relapse and acted out in some way, killing Bruce by mistake -- that might get him to become a Joker Who Can't Laugh. He'd hate himself (or his Joker identity) enough to change it, and incorporate parts of Batman in it (because with Bruce dead, this is the closest thing he's got left of him). I can entirely see Bruce dying in his arms dramatically and making him swear not to kill himself, but to keep trying to be better in his absence, help himself, help people. And then Joker taking on another identity that's not villainous, but it's certainly not a good guy, either.
Ended up thinking out loud on this one, but yeah!! Loving this concept, thank you for sending this to me! <3
