So on Twitter, I tried to give tips on how to draw long-nosed Addisons kissing, but realized I'd need a visual aid, so after SUCH a long time not drawing, I started scribbling in MS Paint. Then realized I'd need layers, so I moved to my other computer to use Clip Studio Paint (I'm still kind of migrating slowly between my old Windows 8.1 laptop & my new Windows 10 tower PC).

But well, the hardcore aro-ace I am, I've never drawn lip-kissing humanoids, EVER! Soooo talk about starting on Hard Mode, LOL! 😅 (But these random Addison OCs smooching turned out kinda cute. :3 I think I'll call them Lily I. Pad & Ivy N. Droid [both they/she]. Yeah, cross-platform mobile device romance. 😚)

Advice on using these as references under the Read More.

The first two are performed by having the chins close together & foreheads further apart, letting the noses slide by each other, up each others' foreheads. Variants showing how they can remain close to center, or slide a bit to the side.

Then two more variants. The left ones are the intended viewing side, & the right ones are layer-swaps to show that no major facial deformity has to happen, even on a character more towards the background, for these poses to work without poking any eyes, even with less extreme nose-bending (& of course, implying that their noses flex to the side. It doesn't have to impact the aesthetic of the art work).

Once again, tipping their foreheads closer together lets you have their noses go under each others' eyes, while tipping their chins toward each other can give room for their noses to flex upward (above the eyes).

With 2D, you can take some liberties. Don't worry about it too hard, & just make 'em kith~! 😘

Oh Tara, we’re really in it now….

This, this fucking image...

It drives me insane, just activates something visceral, and I finally realized why. It's not just an appropriately placed close up shot to denote intimacy between Gabriel and Beelzebub, it's a fuck damn pov shot.

Gabriel is not dressed in accordance to his preferences, he is borrowing Aziraphale's clothes. And Beezlebub, well lets just say a black blazer is a black blazer, not exactly the easiest thing in the world to differentiate. Just looking at those hands joining, the individual identities of their owners melts away. The moment could have so easily belonged to Aziraphale and Crowley... and it's just- it's... it's just like the Rats of Nimh. They've seen this sign everyday for almost their whole lives, and have never once known what it says. They can make inferences, use context clues, wherever they are, it seems to be too so it must be about them, but they couldn't ever know for sure. Until one day, without warning, they looked at the words, and understood them.

And the sign communicated a way out.

Aziraphale and Crowley are the first of their kind. I don't think we really appreciate or understand how utterly unfathomable what they feel for each other is in their lived contexts, even to them. All this painful fear, all these lengths they go to, all to keep safe this precious experience they don't even have the language to name. It's not just unallowed, it's unreal. So then just imagine what the actual fuck they must be feeling when they see someone else... just fucking do it. Just like that. An angel and a demon. In love. Intimate, affectionate, in front of heaven, in front of hell, in front of humanity, in front of GOD, and She knows who the hell else.

For literally the first time, they’re seeing the things they feel for each other exist in others like them.

In Princess Aster's world, bunnybirds live in contented isolation, keeping themselves detached from the world in order to practice magic. Nothing is ever wrong, and no one is ever angry...even as Aster's people seem to be slowly disappearing. When her father is next to vanish, Aster resolves to find and rescue the missing bunnybirds—even if it means journeying over the rim of the world itself!

My middle grade graphic novel is officially available for preorder! Bunnybirds is a story about trauma, friendship, and my experience with autistic masking. It was drawn entirely with Prismacolor colored pencils and Pandafly markers, with Photoshop applied for color enhancement and text.

Check it out maybe! :D

That last panel with Carlin (the brown bunnybird) facing the corner was directly inspired by this wonderful TMA comic by @nubs-mbee!

To be fair, she found the letter on the floor of the school hallway...

Danny is the type of guy gal ghost to Commit To a Bit. This is very common knowledge

But he may have overdone it this time.

---

Dan and Ellie had met the Red Hood, who seemed yucky. Ellie said this herself. Jason was not amused, and did not appreciate them following him around for the rest of the week.

After a bout of panic, Danny had finally tracked the tykes down. After seeing who they were with, he sighed. Of course those two would. Well he could play at that game.

Danny had popped in and pecked him on both sides of the helmet, leaving a casual lie before legging it.

"Hey hun, thanks for watching the kids. I'll take it from here."

It's been a month now, and somehow he has two kids with a notorious crime boss and goes on nightly dates with him.

Eddie posts a Tiktok like, “If you are interest in someone, do not tell my husband. Steve is the worst person to tell. All he does is judge you and then criticize them.

Steve, off camera: That’s not true.

Eddie: It is true! Grant just - Grant, can I tell people this? …Cool - Grant just told us that him and his ex-wife have been talking about getting back together. And that’s great! A normal person would say ‘that’s great, man.’

Eddie: Not Steve. Steve’s response was ‘the ex that can’t cook for shit or the one with the big tits?’

Steve: It’s a valid question!

Eddie: Stevie, baby. When Robin told you she was a lesbian, the first thing you did was criticize the girl she had a crush on

Steve: Yeah, because she was a dud

Eddie: And when I told I loved for the first time, you winced at me like I was making a bad decision. You asked ‘why?’

Eddie: And i didn’t even say it first! You already said it a week before!!

Steve: I just think that you should have standards

Eddie: I do!
