Streamer!Eren x reader pt.2
A/n: I'm sorry I took so long to get this part out. I was very busy with my classes, I had relationship problems, family issues, I was a hot mess. But after rewrite after rewrite I can finally put this out. How convenient that its on Final Aot day. Honestly, I'm also glad that I am putting it out today bc I'd rather be hot and bothered rather than sad and sobbing. Btw I am gonna fix the first part because I feel like it lacks a lot of things. If you still want to read it, it’s linked below
wc:4.3k
Part One
Cw: slight teasing of weight, oral ( fem receiving), overstimulation, heavy kissing
” So does Eren behave himself when he talks to you guys,” you ask the chat as you sat down on his lap.
“What? you know I always behave myself,” he cocks his head towards you grinning. “Sure you do,” you said rolling your eyes. You know that he rarely behaves himself when it comes to you. So, you could assume he’s the same in front of an audience. You point your finger towards the camera. “Look, seems like the chat knows you better than yourself.”
Eren’s attention shifts to the screen to see the chat flooding with comments siding with you. “It’ll be your own people huh?” you let out a quick chuckle while picking at your nails.
“Do you guys have anything you wanna ask her,” he questioned.
You speak up, “Yeah, you guys can ask me anything “. You didn't know where this sense of comfortability came from. Maybe it was Eren's aura or the way he communicates with his audience. It’s a possible reason as to why he has such a big following.
Eren has always been transparent about how he feels whether it’s about something or someone. The guy has a hard-on for conflict, but the way he is authentic with himself is admirable. “Anything?” Eren raises his eyebrows in amusement. The sound of a notification alert pops up on the monitor. A monotone robotic voice booms from the computer’s speaker” what is the freakiest thing you've done?”
“What do you mean?” you furrowed your eyebrows together. Of course, you were not going to show that side of you. Who do they think they were trying to ask a question like that? Perhaps you do tell them, then what? You become the biggest streamer’s slut? Smart remarks filled your head ready to be spat at the viewers. Though, integrity got the best of you and decided to remain quiet.
“Aww come on, you can’t let the audience down now” he teases. Eren begins soothingly stroking your thigh. As he strokes, he draws patterns of circles, leaving you to accidentally shudder in his grasp. He then intriguingly raises his eyebrows.
“Oh my god, I'm literally slipping off of you” you grab on both sides of his thighs to try to push yourself up. “Geez you’re like a fucking slip and slide, what did you do bath in, butter?” you mumbled. Eren looks down to your bottom half and notices your butt touching his knees. “It’s okay, I got you,” he murmured.
“Goddamn, you’re heavy as fuck.” You whipped your head to face him to strike him a glare. He then adjusts himself with you on top, making your bottom rub against his crotch. A low groan escaped his mouth. You felt heat brewing on your face.
“Uhhh let’s see, is there any more questions?” you ask desperately looking at the screen. “Y/n you didn't even answer the first one” he raised one eyebrow and lowered the other. You stop your internal thoughts as you once again feel a hot sensation on your thigh moving. You try not to acknowledge the hand with clear intentions of riling you up.
“You gotta toughen it out y/n.”
“Actually,” you start. Eren eyes shot up in interest. “I can recall, the time I... you know... to a professor in a class,” you stammer over your words. Instantly, a wave of regret crashes into you. Somehow you forgot Eren attends this same college and classes you take. You silently cursed at yourself.
“Oh?” Eren’s lips curled up into a smirk. “And who might that professor be?” he questioned. Learning this fun fact about your sexual deviances aroused Eren's curiosity. In a millisecond, your ear is set ablaze as pressed his Eren's lips against it. “Would that be Professor Erwin or Miche?” His warm breath brazes your ears which ignites a fire in your stomach. “Or maybe Professor Levi?” his hand slithered its way towards your inner thigh. Your legs quickly squeeze together in hopes to stop the throbbing that started between them. Luckily, Eren was just in time to snatch his hand away from the trap. Your face was twisted up in frustration.
This hasn’t been the first time that Eren has teased you. But this felt different, it’s almost as if you don’t want it to stop. The words he’s throwing at you don’t feel like feathers this time around. His hands on your thighs feel like it’s burning through your skin. The heartbeat in your core seems to pulsate harder and faster. You didn’t want it to stop but you were fighting to not look desperate.
Satisfied in your response, Eren clasped his hands together. “Alright I'm gonna end it right here make sure you share the stream with your friends, follow Y/n on her socials and repent, toodles” he sings. Eren leans over to hit a hotkey on his keyboard which he assumes ends his streams. He then swivels the knobs on the computer’s speaker on mute. He once again lays a hand on your thigh. You let out a short hum clearing your throat. He then leans back to take notice of your stiff position in his lap. Eren lightly squeezes your arm,” You, okay?”
“I’m fine,” you pull away from his grip. Eren can tell when he goes overboard. He could just make it up to you by buying your favorite food like he always does. But for once in his life, he would rather be mature and talk it through.
“Hey, I know this was your first time on here and I know it was a bit overwhelming,” he breathed. “I do apologize if I made you uncomfortable.”
“I said I’m fine Eren,” you raised your voice. Eren was taken aback by your sudden attitude towards him. His once loud and lively room was now clouded with silence. “I think we should head down now,” he placed his hands upon your plush waist. Gripping the chair handles, you turn around allowing your legs to lay against Eren’s waist. “I lost my appetite,” you whispered in monotone.
You couldn’t understand yourself as to why you suddenly opposed his suggestion. Wasn’t your main objection being to take him downstairs? You could just walk away from him and have that same gut-wrenching feeling in your stomach. But your body wouldn’t allow you to move. Something snapped, those times of playful bickering started to build a form of lust and desire. Maybe now was the time to reveal the real reason behind the constant squabbles.
“Y/n, I said I’m s-”
“You know,” you started. “Our little fights always end up leaving me confused,” your gaze pandered between his dark forest green eyes and plump lips.
From what you could remember, Eren constantly had some girl hooked up on him. Hell, he even got Mikasa wanting to try him out. But for some reason he could never really settle. His mind always seemed to wander to the same person, you. The squabbles could be played off as friendly but the feeling of wanting it to go further lingered. But as a result, it left you reaching for more, wanting him more.
Eren’s heart pounds loud against his chest. He always felt as if going further wasn’t an option. He had his moments where he just wanted to hold you so close, as if he would die if he let go. Moments where he wanted to make you his. Perhaps if he did the things he thought of doing to you, how would he face the friend group, what about his fans, and Mikasa? He decided that acting upon his true feelings towards you was too risky.
“We’re friends Y/N” he confirms, his eyes soften under your gaze. Your eyes then pondered around his room. “Is that all you want to be?”
He huffs out an air of defeat. The sound of the ventilation buzzing was consuming the room.
“I-I” he stuttered as the pounding of his heart was breaking his sternum. He raises a hand to cover his rose-colored face.” Y/n what’s the point of this,” he audibly muffles. You reach up to pry his hand away from himself and hold it in your palms.
“I’m doing what I feel is right to me,” you reply with reason.
As corny as it felt, you no longer had interest in letting the feeling of desire leave you again.
“So, antagonizing me is what feels right to you? “Yup, that sounds just like you,” he speculated. Your face drops into a frown,” No dumbass.” Your fingers hook in the crevasses of his. Eren scrunches his eyebrows together in uncertainty. “Then what?” You place your intertwined hands over your heart that was protected by your flesh. “Us” you replied in a hush tone. It seems like Eren’s face couldn’t get any redder. Your hands enclosed over his, touching your chest, it felt as if he were in his recurring dream. This time, he was hoping there would be no interruptions to wake him.
“Are you fucking with me,” Eren interrogated in disbelief. Your skin began to spread warmth to your face. “Yes, I mean... no but I want to- if you know what I mean,” you ran over your words frantically. Still not connecting the dots, Eren’s head cranks his head to the side. You inhale a shaky breath” I can’t believe I’m saying this but…”
“Eren, I like you,” you sheepishly state. It was as if you could hear a needle drop on the floor. To make matters worse, the screaming vents were now hushed. “Well?” you quizzed. His eyes darkened as he stared through your soul. Your heart tanked to the lowest part of your stomach. Your confession has left you embarrassed and empty handed with no response.
That same damn feeling.
Your frustration grew as you started to pull your legs away from his waist. A hand jumped out to grasp at your thigh pulling you closer. You jump at the sudden movement. “I want you to say it again.” You could feel your blood pressure rising by the second. He got some nerve to try to humiliate you. “Hey, I finally have the courage to tell you- “
“Y/n, I want you to say it again,” he repeats while his eyes were capturing your psyche. You silence yourself as you can sense his serious demeanor. His eyes were dissecting every part of your face.
“I like you,” you whispered.
Suddenly, you felt your lower half become weightless. Your arms quickly wrapped around his neck for security. Eren’s arms gripped the back of your thighs as he moved towards his bed. It was like time was strolling through Molasses. You begin to study his face. So, tense and stern as if it was in concentration to finish a task. Just minutes ago, you were just stopping by to send a message from your friends. Now you were in his bed waiting for his next move.
Dropping you onto the bed, he stands in front of you, sighing while his eye sweeps over your face. You bite your lips anxiously not wanting to make any other part of your body move. Once again, the room continues its loud humming.
“I try so hard to resist, but you always seem to reel me back in.” You remain still as your thoughts race in your head. “Do you not care about what people will say,” He harshly grips his biceps.
“No”
His jaw clenches tightly. Why couldn’t you understand how risky it is for the both of you? The possible backlash of his viewers that was also used to seeing Mikasa on the stream. Mikasa possibly being jealous that the two of best friends are entangled in each other’s arms. He thought of the many outcomes of the situation which were all negative.
“Why can’t we keep it a secret, nobody has to know,” you crossed your arms against your chest. Eren walks towards you, stopping close as your legs almost touched. He leans over, his face nearing to yours. His minted breath tickles your nose.
“Because Y/n, being around you, I can’t be secretive.” His closeness has you yearning, you crave him. Your eyes frantically search his, you could almost feel your heart jumping out your chest. Not waiting a second more, you crash your lips into his. Releasing years of tension and desire, you melt as your lips mesh together.
He loses balance as you pull him on top of you. Regaining his composure, he leans in closer to your face. You hastily reach up to grab a hand full of his locks, enclosing his hair in your fingers. Eren groans as your grip tightens. His groan sends millions of nerve shocks to your core. You let out a soft moan into his mouth. A sudden wave of clarity hits you as it feels like you haven’t gotten his full approval. A quick smack could be heard as you pulled away from his lips.
“Are you okay with this, we can stop,” you inquire trying to steady your breathing. Eren chuckles as if your question were nothing but a joke. “I don’t think now is the right time to start asking questions.” You smile brightly leading him back to your lips. He then pushes harder into the kiss making you needlingly whine.
He begins tugging at your bottom lip with his teeth. He sweeps his tongue in between your lips, exploring your warm mouth. You lower your hands towards his pants, rubbing his hard print. Eren quickly pulls away from your mouth while pushing you back flat against his bed.
He now feels the temperature of the room increasing by the minute. He pulls the hem of his shirt over his head. Your eyes scan his toned body as he studies yours. He decides he wasn’t going to be the only one shirtless. “Arms up,” he commands you. You lift your arms over your head as he pulls your shift off. Now bare breasted you cover yourself up. “Don’t be shy now, should I cover mine too,” he joked covering his tanned nipples. You let out a short giggle, rolling your eyes revealing your chest. Eren smiles as he trails his lips down towards your breast.
You shiver as you feel his tongue leave hot kisses on its journey down south. He latches on to your hardened nipple, sucking and licking as he flicks the other in his hand. You jolt up panting from his touch. The sounds of you moaning tighten the grip of print in his pants. “Eren” you whimpered; your core was leaking more of your slick.
“Feels good?” he asked with a labored breath. “Mmhm,” you moaned. His fingers began to run up and down the sides of your legs. Your head grew hot and dazed, the warmth of his touch scorched your skin. He then lowers his head to peck your thighs leading down to your heated core. Your heart rate spiked as you knew these course of events officially change everything about your relationship with him. Eren’s eyes reach yours to ask to continue. You harshly swallow the hard ball of saliva stuck in your throat.
You then nod your head while swiping your tongue on your lips as the heat made them chapped. Your legs felt a strong pull as thighs were raised to the sides of your stomach. Swiftly, your panties were snatched away from your body. Then you look down to see his head ducked below your thighs. A wet long stripe swiped across your lower lips. Your legs quickly try to shut but eren’s reaction time was faster, catching them in his hands.
“You want me to stop?” He asks. You shook your head side to side in desperation for him to continue. “Then keep still, ‘kay?”
“Okay,” you responded.
Settling back in between your thighs, you felt another long stripe now on your folds. “Oh fuck,” you cried. Your breath was hitching, you felt air being sucked out of your lungs. Eren could felt his cock get more sensitive as he rubs it against his pants. He towards the top of your pussy and puckered his lips around your needy bud, giving it several pecks.
“Oh my god, “ you moaned loudly. Your hands were clawing at your chest not having another place to settle. The sensation was overwhelming your body, the heat from the room and his mouth set you aflame. You felt a long intrusion prodded at your sopping hole, entering you slowly. You let a high-pitched squeal as you squeeze your eyes shut. Eren gazed up at your face turning in satisfaction. He lets out groan around your hard bud buzzing it into more pleasure.
“Yes, right there,” you screamed out. Eren works his fingers harder and deeper into your hole. Stretching and curling his long digits. The squelching of your dripping core and screams echoed around the room. Eren began to feel the grip of your walls tighten and loosening, letting him know you were close to your speedy climax.
“Eren, more please,” you needily whined pushing yourself closer to his face. He then removed his fingers and plunged his tongue into your hot core, swirling it around. Once again glancing up, he peeks at your pleasured face, lips falling into a perfect “o”. His fingers start to circle around your clit. Your feet curl up and down over his broad shoulders. While soaking and scavenging your hole, he brushed over a small plush button. Your thick arousal dripped on to his black satin sheets leaving a damp puddle underneath you.
You gasp hard as you arched your back off the bed. He smirks as he hits the sensitive spot over and over. Your eyes rolled to the back of your head as your stomach clenched. “I’m gonna cum,” you panted wearily. You felt his pace on your bud and hole quicken faster than before. He presses deep into you, numbing the spot that weakened your senses.
“Ahhh, yess” you hiss in despair. The band in your stomach begins to ripple harshly. He pinches your clit tightly in between his fingers, yanking the nerves upwards. In an instant, your walls clench and stutter profusely. Panting and crying out, as Eren decides to rub you through your orgasm making you whine in pain.
“Eren, no more, please!”
He shushes you while enthusiastically applying more pressure on your bud. The sensation of you needing to release again ached you. Fluids suddenly began spurting from your overstimulated cunt. You cry out as drool seeping out your gaping mouth.
“goooood girl,” he praises you, slowly drawing circles on your clit. As your breath settles, he slowly removes his fingers from you. Looking over, he presents his dampen fingers to you. “You might wanna get a- “
Eren slipped the wet digits into his mouth, licking and slurping your juices from his hand. Blood drained from your face as you watched him pop his fingers out of his mouth. He smiles at your astonished reaction.
“You taste good,” he smirked. “Shut up!” you angrily yelled. He then began moving closer towards you.
“Wanna try?”
“Eren, I swear to god, get away from me,” you shouted grabbing the covers from underneath to protect you. “Come here~” he teases. He quickly makes his way to your side while cackling. You shriek, a gasp of wind grazes you as he rips the blankets away from your bare body.
“NO,” you scream out as his face is inches away from yours. Eren halted his body from moving further. “You actually don’t want to try it?” he questions. You slightly turn your head away from his deep green eyes.
“Well, I- uhm”, you nervously stammer out. Eren softly smiles at your demeanor in enjoyment, “it’s embarrassing,” he finishes for you.
“It’s embarrassing,” you shyly confirm while nodding your head. His fingertips rest at the bottom of your face, tenderly pushing it back to face him. Your eyes attach to his, occasionally shifting to his plump lips. “Listen, I’m not gonna force you,” he assures.” But it was funny watching you scream,” his dimple forms on his cheeks as he breaks out in laughter. You frown in humiliation but soon, bits of giggles spill from your mouth. Your joined laughter filled your bodies with happiness, neither you nor he wanted it to fade into the abyss.
Eren laughter dies out as he focuses once again on your face. His thumb reaches your lips, gently brushing over them. Your eyes saturated with temptation, inching closer to his warm lips. He understood your command, closing the thin gap between the both of you, your mouths gracefully settled on each other. You could feel your chest twist and twirl in excitement.
Could it be love? No, no, that’s a tad bit heavy to use the L word on the same day of your confession. It felt too light label it as a crush. Whatever it was, bonded the cracks of your heart that formed each day that came before this one.
Letting the kiss linger a second longer, you could taste a reminisce of a sweet and tangy flavor on his mouth. You pulled back from him allowing a sigh to slip out, “I wanna try it,” you confessed. Eren’s eyebrows slanted in confusion, “You already did”.
“No, I did- OH!” You shouted covering your mouth. You jokingly smacked your lips together to taste yourself again, “you’re right I don’t taste bad”. Eren smiles at your blatant wittiness, it’s one of the things he most admires about you. The quick jabs you throw at him and the rest of the group, it seems he’s the only one who manages to keep up.
The mention of the group assisted in his daze to drift to the main purpose of you being here. “Y/n, we should probably head down now, it’s been while since you left them”. You slid your shirt over your head as you hummed in agreement. He follows your lead and begins to put his shirt on.
Time seems to pass on fast, in a span of minutes you were introduced and teased on his stream, let out your confession and allowed the man you have been eyeing out on for years to devour you.
“Dammit,” you stoop down to look under his bed. “What are you looking for”, he inquires also tilting his head down. Your hands blindly wander under his bed frame, “I can’t find my underwear”. The constant slapping of your hand against his floor was tiring and the lack of light in his room didn’t help with your searching.
“Oh, you mean these”, your head turns up towards the brunette boy. His hands hold the panties, balled up and enclosed under his fingers. You stride towards him quickly as he grins, eyeing your exposed lower parts.
“Eren, give it to me,” you warned sternly. He backs up raising the panties behind his head, “it was so good you’re begging for more huh?” he taunts.
You angrily step closer to him, “Eren!” you gritted your teeth. “I don’t know I think it’ll kind of be exciting to free ball it, don’t you think”, he laughs still steps backwards.
“Fuck you,” you angrily retort.
“Ah, we’ll get to that another time, don’t wanna be too needy”.
Finally reaching him, you stare with dagger in your pupils. Not a peep could be heard as he stares back with levity, seeing this as nothing but fun. Your eyes shift between the parallel green ones, fury congests your stomach. Eren fights the urge to grab your face and push your soft lips on his.
“Whatever”, you huffed out in defeat, going to put your shorts back on. He smiles lightly, retreating his prize into his top dresser drawer. You make your way towards his door ready to exit but something still nagged at your thoughts.
“Eren, what is this now”, you questioned in concern. He slides the band out of his hair, making the brown locks frame his face and shoulders. “You mean, what’s going on between us,” he asks with vagueness. “Mmhm” You hummed wanting him to continue.
“Oh yeah, your mine for sure”, he carelessly raked his fingers through his tresses. You felt heat flash across your cheeks, flustered by the fact that you were now in his possession.
Eren then bites the band while gathering his hair into one fist in the back of his head. The back side of his biceps strained; veins flexed as his grip tightened on his hair. You stare at the voluptuous muscles that fought against his flesh. The boy finally places the band in his other hand then ties it into a somewhat presentable bun.
“Even in front of them”, you questioned referring to your joined friend group. The door was now ajar, the light of the hallway bled into his room making the luminesce shine on your body. “We’ll talk more later, let’s eat,” he mumbled nodding his head into the lit-up hall. You whispered a quick “okay” as you made your way out and soon, he follows right after.
Darkness had absorbed every spec of light in the room, except one blinking spot of red on Eren’s desktop.
⌢⌢⌢⌢⌢୨୧⌢⌢⌢⌢⌢ ⌢⌢⌢⌢⌢୨୧⌢⌢⌢⌢⌢
“And I even got the chance to hold one”, Armin boasted proudly. The other remaining friends gathered around the table excited to hear about Armin’s oceanic studies. Food was placed on the counter waiting to be consumed, mainly waiting to be consumed by Sasha as she anxiously stared at the thinning steam that rose from the pot.
“Don’t you think that’s a bit dangerous to only be for a general research assignment”, Jean asks in genuine concern for the blond. “No, not at all”, Armin answers while swiping between photos on his phone of the sea animal he held. Jean sighs in defeat, what a way to be reckless for an extracurricular class.
Mikasa sat in between the 2 blondes, patiently waiting for you and eren’s arrival. She pondered at clock resting against the wall. It’s ticking reminding her every second and minute goes by without the appearance of her 2 friends up the stairs.
“It’s going on fifteen minutes now”, she informs the group. “I'm sure they’ll be down in a sec”, armin reassured while glancing at the time on his phone.
“Yeah whatever, who’s idea was to wait for him anyway”, the food fiend groaned. Armin and Mikasa accusingly pointed their fingers towards Jean. “ I thought it would be a nice way of gathering together”, his face painted in pink.” “Mama’s boy”, Sasha muttered under her breath.
“ Hey, I heard that! ”
Connie, too consumed by his phone to engage in conversation decided to do a check up on his socials. Twitter was the first choice, he laughed obnoxiously at a couple of tweets from people he followed closely. Afterwards, he viewed the current top 10 trending topics.
Elon Musk, a copycat.
Megan thee Stallion, she can step on me.
One Piece Live action, mid.
Jaegermeister exposed, about damn time.
It wouldn’t be surprising if eren did a tip slip, that wouldn’t be the worst thing he could’ve done. Connie, not anticipating the unexpected, lazily pressed the bolded subhead. Automatically, the top video began to play out, his breathing came to a sudden pause; pupils dilated in shock.
“No way”

I RETURN SUCCESSFUL FROM MY DISSECT—I MEAN STUDY OF CAT—I MEAN @8um8le s ART STYLE!
That’s right. Art study.
Absolutely not my excuse to shamelessly draw Cat.
ANYWAY, red and blue is lifted directly from refs, pink (some blue) is freehand stuff
Enjoy my unhinged notes—
First I did some line tracing, I wanted to see what was going on with how the form came together without worrying about color; the pose language is divine. There’s so much personality and they’re well balanced in shape and gravity. My own poses tend to come off stiff at times, so if anything, I need to learn to loosen up and exaggerate a bit more
Then I went and looked at the use of color and came away with some confirmation about my own problems with color—I use too many high sat/high value colors too often and don’t trust myself to use contrast of warm-cool and complimentary colors to do the heavy lifting 😅
Did a few design reviews; this is freehanded unless noted otherwise. The design work of the machine parts is so nice; I get too caught in “believable movement” that sometimes I forget robot parts can and should look badass and detailed enough to read as such. My first attempts freehand were still a bit stiff and not reading correctly so I tried a different pose altogether and really pushed the exaggeration and then really went ham at free handing Cat. I think he turned out pretty damn good
Then I decided to compare my own art from months ago and this week to the design choices of Cat and came away with realizing that, even if there’s a theme to my design, visually Ylixir (the Oc) is really muddy when turned monochrome and that’s not great. I love her design still since too much clutter would be eye killing, but it’s a reminder to me at least to strive for more contrast and visual interest to help a design.
When I trusted the contrast (without realizing it) and remembered my value variations since I was working in monochrome oranges it came away as a very interesting and something I’m very proud of. It’s a reminder to do more work in monochrome to make me more comfortable with colors that might seem boring alone but come together to be incredibly pleasing
3: —saving strain CAUSED* by relying on TOO MANY* high saturation/same value colors
I’m literate, I swear.
Anyway, thank you, 8um8le! This was fun and I learned a lot I think. Excuse me while I eat these notes and put Firewall back in containment before she realizes no one’s around to stop her—

More Short SFF Books!
Guys! Thank you so much for the love on my post on short SFF books! It was a lot for a tiny little blog like me lmao, and it made me feel very appreciated - thank you, again!
I thought that because of all that love, this deserved a second edition. So, since short SFF is definitely my specialty, and I won't stop reading these novellas any time soon, here's some other SFF short books I think might be worth your time!
Also, check out part one of this list if you’d like some more books in this vein :)
The Monk and Robot Duology, starting with A Psalm For The Wild-Built, by Becky Chambers
152 to 160 pages
duology (so far!! I'm hoping and praying, Ms. Chambers!)
queer rep of all kinds, but our protagonist is non-binary!
If you know me, then it's a surprise this didn't make it into the first edition of this list. I love Monk and Robot! They're My Favorite Books, so rest assured that they come very highly recommended!
This one follows Sibling Dex, a disciple of Allae, the god of small comforts, as they decide to change the course of their professional life and become a travelling tea monk. Along the way, they meet Mosscap, a very friendly robot, with one question - "what do humans need?" There's just one problem: robots have been living in the wild for generations, and they haven't interacted with humans since they gained consciousness. Can Sibling Dex handle this responsibility?
I hardly have the words to describe this one. This is a sci-fi, I guess, but it feels like a fantasy -- it's just so atmospheric and draws you into this utopian and equitable world full of nature and community. Monk and Robot really emphasizes the best parts of life, the best parts of humanity. It will warm your heart because you will see your life in it - in all it's smallness and its gorgeousness. It's perfect if you want something that's short, sweet, and with a conflict that doesn't span the whole entire world, but is focused instead on two people - or, I guess, on one person and a robot.
Mandatory reading for everyone! Get your hands on a copy, you won't regret it!
Our Lady of Endless Worlds Duology, starting with Sisters of the Vast Black, by Lina Rather
176 to 192 pages
duology
sapphic rep
We're staying on theme here, with another religious-y pick. I give you: Sisters of the Vast Black! This one is about nuns! In space!
Some time into the future, the Catholic Church is alive and well. The sisters of the Order of Saint Rita live on their (get this) living ship, a gigantic animal they use to navigate between space stations and planets. I think this one is worth it just for that concept, I fell in love with it!
This book follows the Sisters as they receive a distress call from a colony, and find out that the Church's means might be more nefarious than they seem. But, mostly, it's about the sisters themselves, as they grapple with their faith, the ever-changing universe and the questionable morality of the Church.
I loved this one! Not only are the characters very compelling, the setting is just so cool. This concept of the living space ship is so fucking neat, and the duology gets down to the nitty-gritty of it. Not to mention, the idea of religion, and contemporary religion in particular, surviving mostly unchanged into the future is so interesting! I don't know if it's me being nerdy, but I just found the concept here so, so compelling, I couldn't resist bringing these books home with me!
The Seventh Perfection, by Daniel Polansky
176 pages
standalone
I don't remember it being queer, but I could be wrong??
I guess this is also kind of religious in a way lmao. The Seventh Perfection follows Manet as she searches for someone for the God-King, who runs the kingdom she lives in, using her perfect dominion over the seven perfections to help her.
The unique thing about this book, though, is how the story is told. Instead of following Manet's perspective as she goes through her city, interviewing people, we only see one side of her dialogue. As Manet speaks to a shopkeeper, for example, we are only treated to his answers. In this manner, its up to the reader to put some pieces together.
Although it is nothing too complicated, - especially for veterans of books such as The Locked Tomb or fantasy behemoths like A Song of Ice and Fire, with their crazy amount of characters - the structure is pretty unique. Like Esme N pointed out in her Good Reads review of this one, it kind of reads as if you're a POV character in a videogame, going NPC to NPC. I'd say this one is for the anyone who likes different approaches to stories in SFF, and enjoys being a little bit confused!
Elder Race, by Adrian Tchaikovsky
201 pages
standalone
no queer rep that I remember, either
Elder Race is an interesting one, as well. This one is definitely for fans of books with almost anthropological approaches to culture, such as The Left Hand of Darkness and A Memory Called Empire. Elder Nyr is a scientist, sent to another planet in order to explore it, who lives in his space ship. Except that, for the locals, that space ship is a giant tower, and Nyr is its mysterious sorceror of legend. Now, Lynesse comes to search for him so that he can help her deal with the threat of demon.
The result of the interaction between Lynesse and Nyr, and the fact that each of them have POV chapters, means that this reads as almost two separate books. One of them is a sci-fi, and that's Nyr's perspective, who is from a society with very high-end technology, and sees all problems as matters of science. Meanwhile, Lynesse sees everything as magical, so hers reads almost like a fantasy. It makes for such an interesting experience!
I think about this book constantly, and have been wanting to reread it for ages. I quite liked this particular approach, not to mention the concept! Plus, I love books that go deep into culture like this one. And, of course, it's from prolific and famous author Adrian Tchaikovsky, who wrote the Children of Time series, and although I haven't read the rest of his work, I've heard this is a good starting off point in case you want to get into his other books.
Princess Floralinda And The Forty-Flight Tower, by Tasmyn Muir
146 pages
standalone
non-binary rep
I'm always singing Ms. Muir praise, and that's for a reason! This one follows Princess Floralinda, who is locked up in a (guess!) forty-flight tower by an evil witch. She has placed one monster at every floor, and no prince has managed to get through the first one, let alone trudge up the stairs to rescue Floralinda.
With impeccable sense of humor, which is a trademark of Ms. Muir's fiction, we follow Floralinda's plight as she waits for someone to come rescue her - and then eventually notices no-one might be coming, after all. Her character development is astounding, and it's so satisfying to follow her. It's also just so impressive that so much can be packed into so little pages when it comes to her arc.
And I forgot to mention - there's a fun fairy character who will help Floralinda on her way! I think it's worth reading just for that!

Hello! Apologies I only wrote for one of the continuities. I’m matching you with TFP Megatron!
Megatron
He’ll get you more purple clothing to match him.
Grabs your hands and holds them when you’re picking at your skin, then he’ll carry you to the medbay for Knockout to patch you up.
Megatron believes that seven cats is a bit… obnoxious, but nevertheless will make room for all of your pets.
Jokes about your bug colony being an army… he thinks it’s hilarious that you have an insect army of your own.
Megaton holds you close to his spark when you overthink things/start to cry.
Everything is weird on the Nemesis, so you’re not out of place on the ship to him.
He does his best to appreciate and support all of your interests, even if he sees them as childish.
At least once a week he’ll take you to a new foresty area, where you can “observe all the different types of mushrooms and squirrels you want.” He’ll usually sit in a clear-ish area and watch you frolic through the trees.

MaGir/GaGir headcannons
Just wanted to say; if you genuinely believe Gir is a child and wanna comment to tell me this is wrong, just don’t.😭 Seriously, he’s an ageless robot who doesn’t even act like a child at all, he just acts like someone with undiagnosed + unmedicated ADHD. Okay ty.
TW: BRIEF IMPLICATIONS OF CH1LD 4BUS3/N3GL3CT
[Before they date]
Mel being… well, Mel, takes a while to feel any kind of spark of friendship when she first meets Gir, she’s almost immediately aware he’s not a threat so she won’t be harsh with the robot. Gir on the other hand, immediately got attached and has had the biggest fuckin crush on Mel since they first met lol
Mel develops an attachment to Gir faster than any other friend she’s made, this is confusing for Mel. Why is Gir different? What is it about him that’s so special?
Mel starts to talk about Gir A LOT to Joz to the point she starts to believe that the two are dating, sayin stuff like “You two dating?” Mel just replies with a simple “no.”
Joz still teases Mel about this whenever they brings up Gir; “Gothyyyy, do you have a little crush~?”
When Mel actually does start to develop a crush, she’s once again very confused with herself. “But… I don’t get crushes. I NEVER get crushes.” Again, what makes Gir so different?
She starts to observe Gir a little more when they see each other to figure why she has developed a crush on him. She over analyzes everything about him;
the way he’s always loyal to Zim, the way he shows Mel how much he cares about her, always being there for her, cheering her up in any way he can, remembering the smallest details about her…
…maybe it’s how he’s a complete opposite to her. Is the contrast in personalities alluring? That’s a possibility.
Some time passed and Mel slowly starts to realize that it isn’t anything in particular about Gir, they just like him.
Mel plans the way it would confess to Gir, it thinks about this for DAYS, WEEKS even, until it can come up with a solid way to tell Gir.
She brings him into her backyard garden, sits next to him on the bench swing, and confesses.
“Gir, I love you. I understand if you think I’m weird or if you wanna get away from me because we’re different species-“
Until Gir interrupts; “I LOVE YOU TOOOO, GOTHYYYY!!!” and he pulls them into a tight hug.
They proceed sit along side each other and cuddle for a while.
[OKAY!!! When they start dating!!]
Mel’s pet names for Gir include: Sweetie, love, my love, puppy, honey [she’s basic, I know…]
Mel and Gir giggle a lot when they’re cuddling or kissing
Mel can actually teach Zim a thing or two about making Gir actually listen to him;
“Just be more gentle with him, you don’t need to scream at him.”
Gir quickly realizes that Mel is VERY easily startled, so he makes sure he doesn’t hug them too suddenly and tries his best to make his movements in general less sudden
Gir starts to learn Mel’s safe foods/drinks and gives them to her when she’s sad or frustrated
Sometimes there are days where Mel LITERALLY CANNOT get out of bed, whenever this happens, Gir snuggles up with them under the blankets, silently comforting them.
Gir almost always wants attention from Mel, just any kind of it is fine, even a simple hand hold is okay with Gir, just as long as he has their attention.
Sometimes Gir will pretend to fall asleep in the weirdest places just so he can be picked up and carried to bed by Mel.
If Gir is wearing his dog costume, his tail starts to wag whenever he does as much as THINK about Mel.
Gir likes to drag Mel back to Zim’s base when Mel’s having a hard time with its mom [which is… not a rare occasion…]
Zim doesn’t really like this and has kicked Mel out before, they just keep coming back to the point where Zim grows a tolerance for Mel [ig you could argue that he tolerates her due to the shared hatred for humanity]
Mel draws pictures of Gir at least once every week.
Gir starts to get really attached to Lily too, petting her any time she lays next to him, happily giggling when he hears her purrs, Mel loves to see Gir getting along with their cat and she thinks the attachment Gir has for Lily is adorable.

OC & Art Request Master Post
I think it’s about time I had one of these! This has been in my drafts since June last year… It feels weird making an introduction when I’ve been on Tumblr for so long now but now I’m more active I feel it’s appropriate.
You can call me whatever you want, but I’m partial to Cadence, Cady, or Picapica! I’m an adult, she/her, and I’m completely crazy over all things birds and Sing (I also like MLP, Helluva Boss, Pokemon, HTTYD, Sonic, and Godzilla). 90% of my posts are about my self ship, but I occasionally post about whatever random Sing thought is rotting my brain at the time. I also like to take art requests, art trades, and draw gifts for friends 💖 I’m also currently running Sing text posts into the ground.
‼️‼️IMPORTANT: Obviously I am a self shipper. I self ship only with Klaus Kickenklober. For deeply personal reasons, it causes me a lot of distress to see him in other ships. If I have to see other content of him being shipped with another character, canon or oc, I will have to unfollow/block. Sorry for being super sensitive about it, I wish I wasn’t, but it’s a boundary I cannot compromise. I don’t mind if people like or dislike him though and respect it as long as they respect my love for him.‼️‼️
This blog is SFW, however I have a Twitter account for all my nsfw content. It has art and “bonus” fic chapters about Klaus solo and with Cadence. However it’s a very personal account and I’m very picky about who I let access it. You can DM me if you’re interested, but I need to know you really well (well enough to know you’re an adult) and be comfortable about it. I am not comfortable with giving access to minors (obviously), and to people who ship with Klaus.
Trade/Request Status: ✨1 slot open!
Current To-Do List: Joethetoonfanandoutcast, 1 surprise gift for friend
OC Info
Reference Sheet:
Of course she wears clothes normally which you can see in her other tagged art, I just wanted to show her feather patterns
Character Info: Here
More Pics for Reference: Tagged ‘Cadence’
Fanfics: AO3
Art Trades/Requests Information under the cut:
I am very much an amateur, hobbyist artist but I don’t mind doing requests or trades! However I have some rules:
‼️I will not draw or write anything to do with Klaus Kickenklober, unless it involves my oc. He is a very important and personal character to me.‼️
‼️I will not draw or write about any Buster Moon ships, canon or oc. MoonJewel ride or die‼️
🪶 Please pm me for trades and requests, otherwise I’ll forget!
🪶 I can do art or fanfic trades, but fanfic trades are limited to one-shots because I am a s l o w writer and I don’t want to commit to a multi chapter fic and then lose the will to live. Fanfics are for trades only, I don’t take writing requests because it takes me so long.
🪶 All the usual blacklist stuff - no racism, sexism, anti-lgbtq, dubcon, anything hateful/political, MAP, etc etc. Also no fetish artwork - if you try masking your fetish in a request I will notice and I will not do it. No kink-shaming here, but I’m not interested in someone trying to trick me into providing for their spank bank.
🪶 I’m really not fussy about specifics, I can trade a fic for art or art for a fic or whatever. I don’t mind the other person’s skill level because I’m not very good myself!
🪶 No nsfw art as I’m not good at it but I’m happy to write smut for a trade providing the other person is 18+. No nsfw requests. Nsfw will not be posted to my blog which is strictly sfw, but shared privately via email instead. Remember that Tumblr bans nsfw.
🪶 I can’t draw humans, humanoids, or robots. I can try, but be prepared to be disappointed. Backgrounds will be just coloured or very simple.
🪶 Requests are totally up to my discretion. As I get nothing in return for my time, I do them only if I like the idea and will decline if I don’t. It’s not likely I’ll take an oc request, I usually only draw ocs for a trade. Requests are also lowest priority for me - I will draw them when I feel like it and give no time frame. It may or may not be coloured. Please don’t spam me with multiple requests. Please be polite and remember, if you’re getting free art, don’t expect it immediately! I don’t always post requests and gifts to my blog to avoid spam but feel free to repost with credit.
🪶 Art trades are highest priority for me. Because there is someone else putting in time of their own, I will try to finish asap usually within a week. Order of priority goes: 1. Trades, 2. Personal stuff for myself (including gifts for friends if I want to), 3. Requests. Also when someone makes me a gift I almost always make them one in return.
🪶 I’m pretty good at researching all different characters and fandoms. I don’t have a fandom blacklist.

I need to hear about this oc story immediately. Robots?? Gay love?? Kramer??
okay first of all i am SO sorry this took six thousand years to reply to. but. i am very nervous bc this story has been my baby and a great comfort of mine for over 5 years so anyway. here we go
this is luis! he’s my funky robot oc. these drawings are all pretty old but they’re still pretty accurate. he was built to be a farmhand but found his passion in playing the piano, so traveled to the big city when his creator died to join a band.
and this is rubick! he’s basically for robots what doctors are for humans. he repairs robots and does checkups etc for a living. he’s a very sweet and funky guy.
now, these ocs have been in development for over 5 years, so they have changed a LOT from their original conception, and i’m afraid they are not nearly as comparable to the seinfeld / kramer dynamic these days as i lead you to believe. sorry for the false advertising. that used to be exactly who these ocs were created with in mind, so i still think of them that way sometimes, but tbh it’s not really a fair comparison these days. [for reference, luis used to be inspired by characters more like dale gribble, kramer and grunkle stan, but these days he’s a lot more mellow]
i am in the process of writing more of the actual lore and backstory behind these characters out, and i have a very vivid picture of the world and setting in my head [lots of 60s-90s tech aesthetics and elements from vintage eras while remaining futuristic] and there’s lots of other characters too! but it’s. A LOT and i don’t want to overwhelm you before i can even get all my ducks in a row LMAO
however i will say that rubick and luis are gay together hehe peace and love on planet earth <3 here’s some much more recent doodles of them!
#asks#wastelandwalkin#im sorry to make you wait that long just for this but i tried to write the whole thing out and got bogged down in the details sm ough#i intend to start posting abt them more and i can ping you in posts if you’d like but it’ll be slow going for a little while#giddly’s art#giddly’s ocs

I feel so lost as a poc swiftie rn I look at my reputation payer everyday and wonder if it’s time to take it down because it feels like she is just digging her heels in. I feel awful and like I’m compromising my own morals by sticking around despite the fact that her behavior is horrific. This is so disgusting and inexcusable of her and I wish someone who loves her can just shake her and tell her to wake the fuck up. I get that she’s frozen in time at the age she became famous etc etc but like the jig is up. It’s old and she’s acting like an ignorant petulant child and refusing to take responsibility for any wrong doing and then turning around and acting like she’s a fucking activist. I want so badly for her to care but I don’t know at what point I’m going to draw the line for myself. I feel gross continuing to support her in any way atp and my tour date isn’t even until July. I don’t know what to do…
hi anon!! i apologize for the late response to this ask - i had to take some time on my own to think about this situation and i wanted to give this ask the best answer possible. first, thank you for feeling comfortable with me and sharing your thoughts on this situation. i hope my following answer helps, even a little bit
it's extremely valid to feel the way that you do, and i really hope that nobody in the fandom made you feel like you weren't allowed to feel this way (since this has been one of the biggest issues that's bothered me throughout the month). you're not awful or compromising your own morals for continuing to stick around.
if our feelings were like a switch that we could turn on and off, then we would be robots and not humans. i hope that you know that you're allowed to have nuance and you're not an awful person for not immediately letting go of someone who you've loved for years. i think that this makes you a person who's capable of a lot love and speaks more on your character positively rather than negatively.
also there's not necessarily a line where you have to draw for yourself. i think what i've found throughout this process from long conversations with my friends is that there's just a loss of interest and continued love for someone who's disappointed you for the final time. so not necessarily erasing the love that you had previously for her, but knowing that you're not going to love her to the same degree as you did before.
if you feel uncomfortable going to her concert, then that's completely valid and justified. i know fans already selling their tickets, and not wanting to see her in concert because they don't want to support her financially anymore. if you choose to go, that's also fine, you've loved her for so long and i think you're absolutely justified in wanting to see her in-person.
i hope this answer is helpful!! my hope is that you realize that you're allowed to feel hurt because of this situation and it doesn't make you an awful person for being unable to let go of someone you've loved for so long.

Oh, I see! Yeah it would make sense for Y/N to go tell the detectives inmediately about finding the daycare footage since it’s so personal to them. I wonder if they would keep it or if seeing the old Eclipse would be too painful now. Oh but that also makes me think of all the possible little things that could be in there regarding their relationship! Like Eclipse meeting the boys for the first time and going “oh these are babies, mine now”. I assume he had been security for much longer since he describes how new Sun and Moon were during the revolt. Agh, my heart! Now I’m imagining what their daily lives must have been while together at the daycare. I can see brand new Sun and Moon latching to Eclipse as the one figure they can rely on in a place filled with awful staff. Did they ever encourage the kids to make something for Eclipse? Did they ever see him protecting them from an intruder? Them seeing him as the embodiment of big brother and protector of very literally defenseless children must have made it all the more painful for Eclipse to then turn into the one people must be protected from. Thinking of all the small things that solidified them as family in a bond that was so damaged by the end but couldn’t be broken if they tried. Even after leaving the daycare, there must have been words of comfort, their first place together, making jokes even in hard times, and then all of it starting to fade away as Eclipse slipped further away from them both. God, I have so many feelings thanks to your writing haha!
The detectives would keep the footage! It's their history, even if it's not the happiest, and Sun and Moon like to remember the times when all three of them were together.
Eclipse was uneasy when the daycare handlers/owners announce bringing in two new animatronics, as he feared they were going to replace him, but the second he saw Sun and Moon he was immediately big bro mode and took them under his wing.
Sun and Moon really saw Eclipse in his element, as their big brother and as security at the daycare.
A lot of the kids were scared of Eclipse, he is a huge animatronic, but there would be one brave kid who draws a little picture of the 'security guard robot' that Sun and Moon are sure to save and show to Eclipse later.
Gah, there's so much history! I need to get more of down in proper writing format ahhh!! So much to tell, so little time!!

like i said in a previous post on my other blog, normally i’m firmly against the anthropomorphizing of A.I. characters in fanworks because i think it ignores crucial aspects inherent to their stories and journeys as beings who don’t physically resemble humans and don’t experience certain elements of the human condition
but
i’ve also thoroughly been enjoying the new fan interpretation of edgar as a sort of demon-creature based on the theatrical poster art, primarily because i have often wondered what the ‘dream’ scenario would look like; if edgar really did get his wish and got to meet madeline, if it was a tangible reality now and not just a fantasy, how would he feel? because part of me thinks he might actually be a little intimidated, and maybe afraid (mostly of being rejected)
so when i started seeing art of not-quite-robot definitely-not-human edgar, i thought, “oh, wow, how perfect is that?” because it just encapsulated the complex dilemma i feel like he has, in which he possesses such a strong desire for reciprocated love but, at the same time, he knows he can’t logically receive it. at least, not how he wants to, or in a manner that’s congruent with how he thinks love is supposed to work (all of which he’s been taught by a human, of course, so his comprehension of love as a concept is already skewed).
(plot-armor bullshit aside) canonically, he had several reasonable opportunities he could’ve leapt at to pursue madeline or, at least, made his presence known. he could’ve interrupted his first performance of “love is love” and cut miles off. he could’ve unlocked the door while miles was away once he heard madeline approaching to invite her in. he could’ve continued serenading her through the vents. there were a lot of things he could’ve done while he still had his voice, doing the verbal equivalent of waving his arms around to catch her attention. but he doesn’t do these things. and i think, deep down, edgar ‘knew’ (or, let’s face it, assumed) — whether it’s because miles taught him this or it’s something he gleaned from entertainment media — he would have to be human for madeline to love him back.
there’s also the monstrosity element this creature-y interpretation brings to the conversation, and (given the above) the worry edgar might hypothetically have that madeline could somehow be afraid of him
like “what if she finds out about how badly i wish moles weren’t an obstacle in my way? and she thinks less of me because of it?” except miles (at least once) had a dream that he was fighting with bill over madeline! and madeline likes miles just fine!
or “what if she’s repulsed by me because i’m not human?” except i’ve genuinely never seen a more (albeit unintentional but still) explicitly objectum-coded character... i bet she named all of her cars, past and present, and talked to them daily. she canonically talks to her cello and cares about it like it’s her sibling or a best friend. i bet she even talks to her fish. despite those pithy one-liners about “since when is talking an indication of intelligence?” and “what’s wrong with [human] artists?” there’s just no way this woman draws the line at nonhuman love. no chance in hell. i’ll die on this fucking hill, mark my goddamn words.
and “what if she’s afraid of me because-” except No she Wouldn’t be. her entire character is sort of defined by a sense of fearlessness, or at least not letting fear stand in her way. she’s afraid to play in front of the entire orchestra on her First day of rehearsal but she does it anyway and she does it well. she’s bold enough to march right into miles’ apartment when he is basically nude to deliver some concert tickets and even stays to snoop and chat. she’s not afraid to break the rules and sneak away from the alcatraz tour group to go have her own fun. she keeps trying to break miles out of his shy comfort zone, attempting to worm details out of him about his (she thinks) musical talents because she knew what it was like to hide parts of herself. but edgar’s the one doing the hiding!
all this to say...
demon-creature edgar is so big-brained. madeline would adore him. it has the right kind of traadeoff, it’s a fun interpretation that enhances aspects of his narrative journey... and it also lets him touch and hold!
what’s not to love?

Twist Matchup for a female (me) please!
I’m 5’3, 18, and sort of a tomboyish person, but that doesn’t exactly make me brash. Although I’d say I’m sort of eccentric, I guess I’m also grounded in a way that I’m mature. I also think a lot and just don’t fear a lot of things if that makes any sense? Like, if I don’t have a reason to fear or dislike someone, I won’t despite what they or others say? I don’t know if I'm bad at explaining things.
I like things like art, taking long walks, staying up late, and cooking surprisingly. Though, aside from my hobbies I’m interested in architecture, history, space and engineering. I’m actually bad at history, so having someone to actually help would really be great- I usually spend my time working, which usually include club activities, school, work, homework, etc. So, I guess I’m naturally up and running. Though I usually spend my free time drawing, reading, or just thinking about a lot of things. I dislike laziness and dishonesty, so there is that.
I’d say my love language is more on the gentler, easy going side with touching (hugs, cuddling, etc.) but also words of affirmation and spending time with my s/o. Sometimes, I just like to enjoy their presence while we go for a simple date to get some food or something, or do our own thing but together in a sense. I also don’t mind comforting my partner as well, and just holding him and whatnot. For my partner, I want someone who is gentle, but also enjoys the simple things. Perhaps we don’t know much about each other’s interests, but we’re still interested and listen to one another. For example, I can teach the guy about engineering and whatnot, since I’m studying that. Someone who is loyal and is willing to be a comfort. Of course I will do the same for him, but yknow, sometimes you need a partner to just cuddle with after a long day.
Some other misc things include:
I’m an INFJ
I have a sweet tooth. Vanilla ice cream and tiramisu are just- yes please!
I’m bilingual (Japanese and English) and am Japanese American
I love dark and gothic academia, as much as I enjoy robotics and aerospace
I’m a sucker for mystery. Whether it’s just literature or the person in question, I’m a sucker for that.
Apologies for this being so long ;0;
You are matched with....
Lilia!!!
- He is sort of the same, odd but mature and not scared of much things.
-He says up late playing games with Idia and loves it when you join.
-He also likes art , like music and you also like art too.
-Lilia also likes hugs and cuddles, especially in quiet evenings, even though most of the time, he is the lively one.
-Lilia can be gentle and since he's lived through so many things, he knows to appreciate the small things in life.
-Lilia is the best options for you since you both have so much in common.

Seo In-young, married and living together
Seo In-young, the "problematic son of the rooftop room," first revealed her love story with her prospective groom.
On the KBS 2TV entertainment program ‘Problem Son in the Rooftop Room’ (hereinafter referred to as ‘The Son of the Prison Door’), which aired on the 25th, ‘Power Working Mom’ Byul and ‘February’s New Bride’ Seo In-young scrambled as guests.
On this day, when Seo In-young was introduced that she would become a new bride in February, she said, “I’m going now, but we live together. I registered my marriage first,” she confessed in surprise, drawing attention. On the other hand, Byul referred to her realistic marriage life, saying, “Home is a battlefield” with “Dadungi Mom.” In response, Seo In-young said, “Since I got married, I came home faster. My husband comes in before 9 o'clock at the latest. Since I have to prepare dinner, I came home quickly,” she revealed with a different look.
Upon hearing this, the panelists were surprised and said, "Seo In-young?" Seo In-young said, “Marriage is a reality. When she was young, she exclaimed, “She is not him,” and Byul said, “In-young is almost living the life of a secretary now.” Then, she said Seo In-young was “a secretary,” and she said, “I deliver coffee and even juice in the morning. When her husband finishes showering, she prepares her underwear and clothes,” she revealed, adding to the surprise.
Also, she said, Seo In-young said about her husband's personality, "First of all, he is the complete opposite of me. She doesn't have many ups and downs, and she has never been told that she loves her. He said he was embarrassed and ashamed. She said why do I have to say such a story in words,” she said. In response, Kim Sook asked, “Who confessed first?” and Seo In-young replied, “I did it,” and she coolly replied.
At the same time, she said, “I was possessed by something. The truth is that her mother passed away last year and she had a gloomy day. She lost her smile and was only in her house,” she said, revealing her difficult times. She continued, “I went for a refreshment cum perm. Dressed comfortably, she went to a hair salon, but her acquaintance told her to go and eat. It was then that she met (her husband) for the first time. She had no thoughts on that day, but her husband said he thought it was cute.”
On that day, Seo In-young exchanged her phone number with her husband. Regarding this, she said, “Her husband kept calling me at night. When I asked her, ‘Do you like me by any chance?’, she said that she didn’t. But I called him every day like that,” she said, explaining how they became close. She continued, “I met comfortably in slippers every day. She met her bare face. She is the first man she meets comfortably. She chatted and laughed, and she thought, ‘When did I laugh?’ She said that if she laughed a lot like this, it wouldn't be bad if we lived together. After two or three days, she confessed, ‘Brother, what if we dated?’ She said, but her husband didn't give a clear answer. I kept asking until she gave me an answer, and she said, ‘It’s not bad’” and told her love story.
Kim Sook said, “I don’t tell you anything definite. You'll show up at the wedding hall, right?" she worried, and Seo In-young said, "I didn't think of that," she trembled. She also said of her husband, who was rarely expressive, when the panelists asked, "Isn't he dating an AI?" Seo In-young admitted, "I think he's like a robot too." Then, she said, stars “maybe that’s why they’re more attracted to it.” Seo In-young said, "I don't win because of love, but it feels like I keep losing. I'm the type of person who doesn't get along well with anyone, but when I get along with my brother, he says it's all right and says he's sorry," she said. In response, Kim Jong-guk sympathized, saying, “The person you like more in the first place loses.”
On the other hand, she said that Seo In-young met her star and asked about her marriage. Byeol said, “When we got together last year, she came because she was doing a performance, but In-yeong asked her. She said, ‘How the hell did you get married? I can’t imagine getting married.’ It was like this,” she said. In response, she said, "I haven't met you in a few months. We actually dated for about 5 months. It takes 7-8 months to get married,” she said. They say they have meetings in Silver Town too,” she said, which made her laugh.

do you have any advice on drawing mechs :)? your art is amazing!
Thanks for asking! I will preface this with the same piece of advice that I always give people: you get good at art by practicing. If you’re not consistently drawing and working on improving, you gotta get into the habit of that first. With that out of the way....
In terms of the actual drawing, you gotta be comfortable drawing lots of boxes and cylinders in perspective. That’s crucial for getting stuff like weapons and limbs looking good. The underlying structure of lots of mechanical things like mechs or other vehicles are often pretty basic and it’s the details you add on top that make them interesting. But make no mistake, you have to get the structure down first or else nothing’s going to look good. Here’s some examples from my own drawings where I’ve tried to point out the usage of very basic forms underlying everything else:
Now do you need to get out a ruler and protractor and plot out every single point of every geometrical figure exactly right, Scott Robertson style? Absolutely not (although it doesn’t hurt to be able to and I encourage you to try that as an exercise!) But you should be pretty comfortable drawing basic forms in perspective.
When you can do that, the next step is being able to actually design a mech from scratch and this is where it gets a bit harder but also where the fun really begins. Probably everyone has a different approach to this- I’m just gonna walk you through how I do it. Usually I have a vague idea for both the visual appearance and the “context” of a mech before I draw it and I develop both of these together because they both influence each other. By “context” I mean, “in what kind of world could this exist?” I think this is an important question to ask with mechs because in reality they probably don’t make much sense. In most applications, a wheeled or tracked vehicle would probably work better. And sometimes you just want to draw a cool robot and that’s it and the context doesn’t matter. But personally, I think I draw more interesting mechs when I think about what they’re built for and the world in which they exist. There’s sort of a “plausability spectrum” for mecha with somewhat realistic designs on one end and bonkers stuff on the other.
On the realistic end you have stuff that’s smaller, more compact. These might be deployed in places with rough terrain where a car won’t cut it. They’re probably not much bigger than a hardsuit and if they are, they’re probably quadrapedal or hexapedal for stability and weight distribution. For inspiration look to Simon Roy, Boston Dynamics, Maschinen Krieger, GitS, and real-world legged vehicles:
Past realism there’s a huge realm of mecha designs that I would call “plausible-in-context.” Mechs that are built more on rule-of-cool than practicality but have in-universe justifications and fit the setting. Star Wars, Lancer, Battletech, Gundam and honestly probably the vast majority of mech designs fit in here.
On the bonkers side you get it all. Stuff that’s definitely there to look cool before anything else or stuff with pretty noticeable fantasy elements. Gurren Lagann, Mony Pich’s stuff, Ghibli mechs, the work of Makoto Kobayashi, and Shining Force fit here.
Think about where your mech exists on the spectrum and come up with a little backstory for it. Is it a robotic pack mule accompanying spec ops teams into the mountains? Is it the emperor’s mechanotitan guard automaton from the ancient times? This the kind of stuff that influences how I draw a mech. Think about what it does, how that would impact how it looks visually, do thumbnails, work out the kinks and pretty soon you’ll find yourself with something you like. I use reference pretty liberally at this stage, either looking at art I like or real-world mechanical details, or weapon designs. Don’t be afraid to use any and all reference! You learn by studying others and the real world.
Once I’ve got the design pretty much figured out that’s when I finally work out the composition/posing of the final drawing and polish it off. Doing it this way takes me a while. I know people who can just draw cool mechs off the top of their head and that’s a totally valid way to do it as well! But this is the process that, right now, works pretty well for me.
Last little note- something I struggled with for a long time was making mechanical joints look good. My advice is to heavily reference other artists and see how they do it. Someone like Ryan Barry might go ham on the details and greebles:
Whereas monypich might cover lots of stuff up in smooth armor plating:
There are many, many different solutions. Use your judgement and don’t feel like you have to figure it out for yourself! It’s okay to take inspiration from others.
Hope this helps and please let me know if you have any other questions! Sorry for letting this sit in my inbox for a while but I wanted to try to write out a good answer.

Jack Spicer headcanons, please!
Thank you for your message <3!! I actually have a few headcanons about Jack, and this is the perfect request to throw a bunch of unrelated ideas out there xD!! Here we go:
It is canon that Jack doesn’t have any friends (it is mentioned a few times, if I’m not mistaken). And here comes my headcanon... that is one of the reasons he became SO good at robotics. Making robots, creations that could move on their own and respond to him and keep him company, was comforting to him when he was alone. Basically, he considers his robots his friends, and uses them as substitutes for the real relationships he doesn’t have. It is mentioned in canon that his robots have personality chips (even the jackbots, the “lowest rank” robots, the most expendable of Jack creations that are constantly being destroyed). Also, many of his robots were given a supportive personality. I can think of Dudebot, the Butler robot, the Cheerleaders, even Wuya’s copy... all of them have kind words for their creator. So... yeah. He builds robots cause he’s lonely.
On a related note, the monks are the closest to real friends he has ever had. Jack has mixed feelings, but he kinda considers them his friends... even if they don’t reciprocate at all. Omi is the only one who shows some sympathy towards him sometimes. Deep down he doesn’t give a fuck about Shen Gong Wu, but that’s the only way he knows to socialize with them (although Jack himself might not be aware of this feelings).
Before meeting Wuya, he had never done anything properly “evil”. He was just bitter and resentful against society, and he just made lots and lots of vengeful plans... that never went anywhere. He was just locked in his basement building robots. So when he met Wuya, he was a really really noob villain, lmao.
His father is always missing and Jack resents him. In the first episode, his father sends him a gift from Hong Kong, and Jack disregards it... and then we don’t hear about Jack’s father ever again. However, we see that Jack gets crushes for older men pretty often. Chase Young is the most obvious one, but he also has a fleeting crush on Hannibal Roy, on Klofange, and on Master Fung (when he’s Good Jack). Basically, he looks for a male parental figure... he craves attention and approval from older men daddy issues who.
Jack is bisexual (pretty much canon). As I said, he has an obvious crush on Chase and other older men... but he also flirts with women, like Kimiko and Clay’s sister. He is actually naturally flirty and he is not very shy at showing he is attracted to someone. Also, he is a fucking kinky freak. In the future where he manages to dominate the world, he keeps captive Chase, Wuya and Roy, and he humiliates them. But also... Wuya is wearing a cheerleader costume (cheerleader kink? it’s the second time the cheerleader topic comes around lmao), and Chase... well, you remember how he looked.
He is very open minded, actually. Does not judge by physical appearance... as long as you are evil like him, he likes you. However, he is REALLY worried about his own appearance. That makes me think that he has been mocked about his looks, which makes him overly worried about others judging him.
He is also very creative. He likes drawing, designing, composing music... (this is more or less canon).
He is touch starved and his preferred love language is physical affection, but at the same time he feels insecure about showing it. Many times, we can see that when others hug him, he pretends he doesn't like it... but strangely, he is extremely touchy. That makes me think that he is naturally touchy and does it without realizing it, but when he is on the receiving end, he rejects them... probably because that's what others do to him.
And oh my god, I’m just gonna shut up already, cause I could keep writing stuff all day, lmao. Hope you liked it :D!!

I’m gonna be part of the RVB Secret Santa this year... but I thought it would be good to acknowledge another holiday, and one particular character who had to put up with lots of christmassy-nonsense for years. So, here is Church celebrating Hanukkah! In my ever expanding story-line, I want him (and also Tex) to finally be able to do real-people-things, and for Church this means he has the chance to learn more about what it means to be Jewish, so he decides to celebrate Hanukkah, and invites his extended family of friends to join him~
The first picture is him sharing the story of the miracle with Carolina and Tex (I imagine that Carolina’s father was indeed Jewish himself, but he never celebrated much or talked about it, so this is also her chance to learn about it as well!) Next are latkes! I like to imagine that Church gets really into cooking, he both enjoys it and is actually GOOD at it. Donut and Wash are telling him he did a good job (also, there is Grif, doing his best to wait for the food to be set down before he lunges for it). Third pictures is Church with the sufganiyot he made, and Doc complimenting him on his baking skills (Grif is still LURKING). Fourth picture is more food, this time some delicious cheeses, and Grif isn’t waiting anymore! That’s OK, these are snacks meant to be grabbed (Simmons and Church are having a chuckle over it, because Grif really has been very patient). Five is dancing! As we all know, Sarge seems like a tough guy but he actually LOVES music/dancing, and Kai would definitely have fun with this (also, Lopez is there, because he’s having fun too... but he’s a robot, and I can’t draw that armor to save my life, so... he’s just a hand. I promise, everybody loves and cherishes his company, I just can’t draw the armor). The sixth picture is gelt! Tucker scarfed his down right away because CHOCOLATE GOOD, but Caboose is mesmerized by the beauty of the shiny coins (he’s gonna wind up not even unwrapping them and saving them forever). Picture seven features dreidel making- all the AI Fragments had fun making little hologram dreidels, but you KNOW Theta would go all-out (he always like making fireworks, so I think he would really enjoy this too!). Finally, the eighth and final picture, where Church gets some gifts. Sure, that doesn’t always have to be part of the holiday, but everybody wanted to make sure he knew they care (he might not like to admit he wants something, but Church also thrives on affection, so he really appreciates it)
Donut and Doc got him gifts that go together, a fancy shaving kit and special shampoo/body-wash. Grif and Simmons got him a ton of books (and some comics) they both enjoy and knew he’d be into. Tucker got him some new copies of classic games, and Caboose got him a new blanket (it is a big blue comforter, the same color as Caboose’s armor~). Wash got him a fancy checkers set they can play together. Sarge got him not one, but TWO pairs of boots. Kai got him several new music albums (because “All you listen to is old-people music!”). Lopez got him a big collection of spices and seasonings for cooking. Carolina went to a crafting place, created a hand-made frame, and put a picture of everybody in a group in it for him. Tex got him, and herself, two tickets- they’re gonna go on their own little vacation together! They deserve cruise... oh but who haven’t we seen in this group? Locus was absolutely around, but he still has the bad habit of staying invisible... however, Church has discovered that he has a gift from Locus as well; a sweater Locus knit himself~
I hope everybody enjoys the happy Hanukkah Church pictures! I can only work with MS Paint and a mouse, but I added some extra effects to make them look all soft, warm and fuzzy. I want to say thanks to @didyoumeanxianity , who gave me some advice and encouragement~
