GOLLY it's been a minute! But alas, I have returned with gifts! Said gifts consist of my Welcome Home self insert, but if she was in @clownsuu 's Mob AU!! Hooray!

This young member of the Neighborhood is, while incredibly meek and anxious, also extremely loyal and willing to do what it takes to protect those she cares about and to do what she's told. Eager to please, this keeps her well on Wally's good side, which benefits her greatly by keeping her out of a coffin for the time being. She originally came from another group that I made up called the Company, which explains the bar code on the base of her neck (as seen in the previous set of drawings) and much of her anxiety and lack of self identity. Though not the greatest at fighting, she can become quite violent when the others are at risk or in danger. So watch out, because she will start swinging! And boy, does she swing hard! Willow is also known for being oblivious to lots of things, while being extremely observant of how others feel. She is quite good at reading a room or how someone feels, and she is always quick to act or react accordingly.

Relationship charts and disguises under the cut!

Here's the relationship charts! Credit again goes to @clownsuu lol

Willow probably gets along best with Poppy, Eddie, Frank, and Howdy. She's terrified of Wally, but is still eager to impress him and (hopfully) build a stronger platonic relationship with him. She's also incredibly intimidated by Barnaby, and while she gets along with Sally and Julie, she finds them a little too experimental with her. She's only really heard of Doc and Robbie, but I feel like she would feel a combination of how she feels towards Howdy and Sally towards Robbie, that being interested, but exhausted and intimidated by his sheer amount of chaotic energy.

Likewise, Poppy, Eddie, and Frank probably like her the most in return. Howdy, as expected, is pretty neutral, but he finds her interesting. Wally doesn't dislike her either, primarily because she is incredibly loyal and obedient to him and the Neighborhood, and he finds her near-constant state of fear fun to observe. Barnaby and Sally find her a tad boring, and Julie, while also thinking Willow should lighten up a bit, is also pretty curious about her. Doc wouldn't pay much attention to her if he knew her any better, and I feel that Robbie would also find her a bit boring, but would be very interested in trying to get her to react to certain things.

Now, on the off occasion that the gang needs to get into disguises, this is what Willow's get-up would be! She's a bit of a "starving artist" of sorts, setting up an easel and canvas wherever she's told to (primarily by Wally), as she sits and observes her surroundings. She can also be used to look out for certain people and their whereabouts, as she can record her observations in her art through a sort of code that she created where certain colors, shapes, and even representational things represent different things. It's also easy for her to communicate with others, as well as have them communicate with her with little to no suspicion, so she's also a sort of "middle man" within the disguised group.

So yeah! There's Mob AU Willow!! Don't be surprised if I make more stuff about this AU, I absolutely LOVE it and it's been spinning in my brain like how a frozen single serving of veggie lasagna spins in the microwave. So! You best get used to this, because there may be more to come! :D

i feel like the 'i could make/do that' mindset is so invaluable to have. i don't mean in the sense of like going to a modern art museum and insisting that you, a non-artist, could have made the art just as easily. no, that is condescending assholery. the mindset i'm talking about is one more of confidence, of optimism and.. i guess the willingness to put yourself out there, to ask the right questions, to try something new. and to fail, or rather for your vision not to come to fruition. maybe you don't have the tools yet, maybe you haven't acquired all the skills. but at least you could try. and you have confidence in the level of ability you do have to start. oftentimes actually sitting down and doing something is the best way to learn, and the only thing that could stop you from starting is telling yourself 'i could never make/do that'

me and my sister went to the mall today and we ran into hot topic so fucking fast it was unbelievable. me and my sister are literal opposites when it comes to fashion. she picked pink, pastel shit like she was trying to be all uwu kawaii meanwhile im just standing here with my arms full of emo and goth shit, i legit felt like daigo and masato with all this emo drip i had walked out with. (p.s. they should put yakuza stuff in hot topic if they havent already because i have yet to have any yakuza related things in my room </3 also hot topic is like the only store i will shop at)

im so sorry to say these words to you but reading this reminded me of my immortal

my local dollar tree went up from everything being $1 to then $1.25 and i was like ok that's not terrible but i haven't been there in months and now it's called a Dollar PLUS and things are $3 and $5 too i'm furious

//uhHh gunna go on a small hiatus due to not having internet+other (ill expln in the tags c/tw vent/rambling)

Guys you're not gonna believe this but I'm autistic :D

I wonder if the team will eventually start keeping track of kagamis bests one liners ——— or like compare and rank them

Prob way too serious abt the comebacks but like I could see them doing it in kagamis earshot to annoy him lmao

a bit too serious on the comebacks, yeah

and idk it's like... difficult to separate how funny they are to us, from beyond the 4th wall vs those inside the 4th wall

readers get the whole experience. i obviously delight in writing them. but there's usually a bit of a set up for it to happen, or the funny part is their anti-climatic or non-sequitur nature. it's like verbal blue-balling, if you think about it.

he never feeds into the antagonism (or at least, he tries not to even when frustrated). his lines work because they aren't done out of malice and he's not concerned with looking cool when doing it. it's just who he is - trying to live, laugh, love (basketball)

his bitchiest and snappiest comments are probably w tatsuya but they have that rapport

(or they're in his head, and they'll stay in his head. unless drunk)

his 'lines' to the team and opposition are funny in the moment but they need that moment. and if you try to rank them as seirin, they'd each need to explain the joke to each other and then it becomes less funny

any rankings will have to be done by you guys, the readers, because then it'd make sense

Why are you even if the newsies fandom if you hate everything about it so much?

Bryan Denton sexy

iam showing symptoms of mental illness!!!!!!!! /vent

gotta love my lil sis she still has a lot to study but the rest of her leftist friends were talking about prisons and one of their first concerns was what should be done with everyday people you can't reeducate tho? and my sister was the only one who was like idk letting them go still seems more reasonable than keeping them there forever

WHO WAS IT. WHO REBLOGGED THAT ZORUA AKARI AND INGO POST AND CAUSED IT TO APPEAR ON MY SISTERS DASH

At dinner she hesitantly broughy up that she had somehow stumbled across my art, like bro howwwww 😭
