It has been a while (years ;; ) since I've drawn Voice, my dear witch and her ever obsession with the macabre! What's the context behind this? I don't know! Feel free to guess xD; maybe a story will sprung! I wanted to draw her near kissing a demon or a skull...so why not both? :D

Thank you for stopping by!

#My Art #macabre #witch #idk how to tag this!#all the sweet cozy vibes with Ary and Claude made me want to draw something more...dark?#gotta balance it!

sometimes i remember arms outstretched and just Die

Image description: digital art, in a stretched-out vertical orientation, of Magnus, Taako, and Merle from The Adventure Zone, based off the Arms Outstretched scene.

Merle is a fat dwarf with a white beard, colored in green and blue hues as he closes his eyes and extends his hands into the air. Two spectral green arms stretch up above him, covered in flowers and reaching towards Taako.

Taako is a skinny elf with braided hair, appearing in disembodied form with a white glow around him. He's reaching up towards Magnus with a determined expression.

Magnus is a burly human, surrounded by tendrils of the Hunger. He's in disembodied form, glowing purple, and is desperately reaching back towards Taako. End description.

I ADORE your design for Charlie. It’s so adorable!!!!!!

I’m so glad y’all loved her design!!

#ask reply #genuinely I was pretty proud of Charlie’s look #so the fact so many folks liked her made me so happy #I really wanted her to stand out even against other ghost kids #so she got this monochromatic look to her #like she’s been a ghost so long she’s lost her colours #along with that she resembles the puppet more #almost like they fused into one by this point #I really tried to make her both ghostly and eerie #but also cute and friendly #so I think I found that perfect balance #I’m glad one of yall took note of her oversized sleeves #I thought it was a cute design and kept that ghost vibe to her #I gotta draw her again soon!!#we all love Charlie Emily here 🖤🤍

little dove.

a short comic about Ash and Snow's first meeting / how Snow got her nickname.

Snow's story

Ash’s story

all my other comics

store

#cw: animal death #cw: blood #i think after this ash goes back home and finds herself thinking of snow more and more #while snow returns to her own kingdom and forgets much of this encounter until ash reaches some renown as a monster with a blade #after which snow becomes extremely fixated on her and remembers her as the girl who watched her bury a dead bird in a flowerbed #lesbian first dates be like #anyway #i like the irony of snow's nickname being little dove seeing as how shes not exactly a very peaceful person #although she may seem like it on the surface #shes kind of difficult to write too. ive gotta balance her veil of innocence with genuine sincerity #the fact that she believes her own delusions is what makes her such a fun character #one day ill move on from these characters but i love my homicidal daughters very much #thank you for reading #sapphic art #comic art #stillindigo art #stillindigo comics #heartearters

ALEX CASEY

—I remembered dying in this alley in a dream I had. He was just gonna keep killing me here, loop by loop."

fucking obsessed with what's going on with Casey, in both the narrative and the game play. most immediately, tho, it's just the way that he Has To Die in order for Wake and You the Player to get a gun and a flashlight. sometimes the narrative-gameplay requires a sacrifice-body! feed it your creation, Alan!! except. that's not entirely your creation. there is some 'the things we create when we're scared and want to be rescued' happening re: Alan with Casey. also. the dark presence. the way it gets a hold of Casey is less like a possession and more like a violent penetration or infection. turning these thoughts around in my head like they're on a microwave plate.

also this too

#alan wake 2 #alan wake 2 spoilers #alan wake #alex casey #i wish to GOD my thoughts were coherent but mostly im just going. hey!!!! HEY!!!!#there's a specific thing happening with alex casey and alice wake too. as narrative-ritual substitutions btw #i gotta pin down my thoughts about alan and saga as co-authors and how alex-alice-saga for a triangle of balance

I love Chiyo- and I kind of headcanon her as a Witch of the Woods (Sands???) archetype- a bitter old woman who has sacrificed too much, experienced and committed more atrocities than anyone can imagine, and who knows the truth about what lies in the hearts of men to live among the villages anymore.

In my AU she's got a pretty dark backstory. Back in time when Villages were just getting established, women weren't allowed to be shinobi in the same capacity as men. There was too much warring and death among the clans to risk women, so they were only ever allowed to serve as spies or medics. (Chiyo started off as a medic).

And like any military/fascist dictatorship, serving the state was more important than anything else- so women who were kunoichi were given missions to steal and return with powerful bloodlines. Even before villages, this was a common fear among clans (which is why so many of them have protective measures and inbreed/arrange matches very carefully).

Chiyo was one such woman, who took a X-rated mission in her youth because she was told it would 'serve her nation'. There was a powerful bloodline whose Kekkei Genkai could harden sand to something akin to Steel- something Suna very desperately wanted.

Chiyo succeeded in her mission, but despite the veneer of 'serving your nation', when she returned, she was considered, in her words, "Just another whore."

Then when her son didn't manifest the bloodline- it was worse, but Chiyo was happy because that meant her son was HERS. (This is when she met Enji, and he saved her son's life at great cost- so Chiyo owes him a blood/life debt.)

Then the war came, and they needed women to fight so now serving the nation meant something different, and Chiyo became a full fledged 'shinobi' and turned her healing towards poison and death- especially when she had to fight the Salamander.

Then she sealed Gaara and that was the atrocity straw that broke the camel's back and she dipped out Suna and retired to an oasis. She's still a healer, but adamantly refuses to serve shinobi.

Once again, thank you so much for these asks and all the support for this AU?

@youngpeacearbiter

#naruto #haruno sakura #granny chiyo #coven!sakura #nations always celebrate serving the military but no support for anyone who comes back #veteran's aid? what's that and we all know how they would see women like this #there's no more xrated missions in villages and its like a shameful secret they all gloss over #you never air the dirt out when you've gotta indoctrinate your next wave of children into child soldiers #also chiyo is a pretty cruel woman IMO #first thing she did when she learned Sakura stepped between two attacks was to laugh so hard she started crying #Chiyo has both HEAVY internalized mysogyny but also really wants to protect women- its a balancing act #queen of tough love throw em in the deep end no floaties #trial by firing squad #also chiyo just HATES the hypocrisy of being venerated as a war hero when its convenient for the nation- she just hates shinobi villages #thank u kishimoto for keeping Chiyo's backstory vague as hell so i can play #chiyo as an embodiment of female rage

okay I get you had to put stede in more simple clothes for reasons of plot and metaphors and I do appreciate the slutty neckline & bare forearms but next season can u please give him back his ruffles. his lacy cravats. his silk stockings and red heeled shoes and embroidered waistcoats. please, I miss my frilly boy :(

#our flag means death #stede bonnet #there's gotta be a balance here right?#like ik ik it's a ~metaphor and it's not like I don't get it but also #I think he needs lacy cuffs sometimes. for his health.

WIBTA for heavily researching trans topics for my girlfriend?

I (cis guy) am dating a trans girl. I fully love and support her and do not see her as anything but a girl, but there's some aspects I'm just genuinely not informed enough on to give support on occasion, which makes me feel like I'm not doing enough. I want to be able to help her better, so I had the idea of researching elements of being MtF so that I could better understand some of her struggles and be there for her in even more ways. Is this a weird thing to do, though? I'm a cis man, as stated, I don't know if it's really my place to act as if I can ever 100% understand and don't want to come off as obsessive. WIBTA?

What are these acronyms?

#aita #am i the asshole #occasionally we get a genuinely sweet and heartwarming one and i gotta post it to balance out the vibe #you are never the asshole for trying to educate yourself to support someone you love btw

I have some scribbles here and there but I haven’t had time to fully clean em.. but sombra concepts I been cooking with @skelekins and his oc imi taming sombra’s beaft moments,,

#We call the ship starlit night and it’s my favorite fucking thing;;;;;#Sombra and imi take my brain every so often and it makes me so emo #I was thinking sombra has moments where his corruption goes really bad when he has too much negative energy and it deforms him to a point #that he loses clarity and goes feral mode. He’s already a pretty monsterous entity on his own but the corruption just made it tenfold #so kin and I were thinking imi balances it with their wub for he;;;#and I’m just WAGNHNnhn;;#but yeah.. also dream concepts sneak peak and a passive sombra #dream is called sueño in my au to go with sombra’s name cause I’m silly like that and I gotta add Spanish in everything KFJGJ #so they both speak Spanish LMAO #but yeah..#art #my art #my ocs #undertale ocs #sombra #nightmare sans #nightmare #dreamtale #passive nightmare sans #dream sans #sueño #friend ocs #imi #undertale au #undertale fanart
