Cablepool Fic Recs

There’s a few old fic rec posts floating around, so I’m going to try and give some love to the lesser known stories and some personal comic!verse favs

Anything by Manic_intent! Plus, they recently reposted most of their works!

My two fav's from the collection above: What Is, Is- A role reversal where Wade is the one coming from the future. Also has some great Domino moments, which is the cherry on top!

Tangled Up In Blue- Where Nate is the crazy merc and Wade's the wanna-be savior so it’s a good time.

Fractal- Nate Grey/Deadpool So, not technically Cablepool, but still a great story. Nate Grey is sorta Cable's clone?? It's a very confusing timeline for the Summers fam, but this is a fun story with some Cable jealousy at the end.

Motormouth- Wade gets cursed and he can't stop talking. The premise of this is GREAT and so well executed!!

In Praise of Existence- One my fav short fics, so cute and happy and sweet :,)

You Could Have Just Asked- Wade's bored on Providence so Nate sets up a job for him. Nate is great in this and I love the back and forth between them!

Bluemen- That tumblr, tropey 5 times +1 flower prompt, so you already know it’s gonna be great!

Agrimony- I have a thing for flower fics I guess

Anything by Rallamajoop is great! These are my four favs:

Something Red and Something Blue- Nate proposes!!! What can go wrong? (that’s rehtorical.)

Inked- Nate wakes up w a tat lmaooo

Summers'son- A Teen!AU that has everything you could ever want- including multiple endings. It's like a choose your own adventure, but you win every time!

Wade's typical, ordinary, probably-totally-normal day- Wade has amnesia but it's a quick, fun adventure

You Ought To Give Me Wedding Rings- Nate's black mamba fantasy (it's a thing in the comics that shows your deepest, darkest desire and Wade’s was giving Nate a back massage on a beach).

Salads and Scrambled Eggs- AHHHH If you can't already tell, I'm a sucker for domesticity

Lookin For Some Happiness- Wade's healing factor stops working and Nate's there to help him :,)

Human Lawyer!AU: Motion Practice- There are a bunch of pairings in this verse (90% of which idk so don’t let the word count freak you out bc most verses aren’t cablepool), So below are links to the Nate/Wade specific stories. This author is a phenomenal writer and even though most of the main fic has Wade dating someone else, the story is so good I found myself not minding. There's a lot of buildup to Cablepool being endgame and the interactions with Hope leave me a puddle on the floor. 10/10

--------Pre-main story--------------Main story-------------

Post-main story w established relationship:

Christmas shopping---First day of school---Vacation---One Shot---Angsty fic

Amnesia fill- Set after Nate kicks Wade off Providence. It’s a fix-it fic and the explanation for altering canon’s angst makes me happy bc continuity can really suck.

Wait, You're What Now?!- Anything with Scott Summers (Nate's dad) is gold FR

A Fine And Proper Upbringing- Nate gets turned into a baby lmaooo

When You Kissed Me- 5 times they kissed (warning the end will make you sad but it's the kind of angst that comes w canon cablepool anyway)

#weathervane- Where the cablepool shippers are the citizens of Providence, the text chats are hilarious

The Merc Who's A Mute- We all know one of Deadpool's biggest assets is his ability to jabber in any situation. He uses it as a tactic to confuse (and annoy), as a way to ensure opponents underestimate his abilities, to mask his insecurities through jokes and long-winded speech patterns, and, lbr, to provide comedic entertain to the readers/viewers. This fic explores what Deadpool would be like if he couldn't hide behind his words and I adore this concept. Ik this is a wip, but the premise is SO intriguing I have to recommend it. 10/10

Hope-Centric Stories (Nate’s adopted daughter, it’s a whole thing)

Sugar & Spice & Everything Nice-

A super cute story of Nate and Wade being Dad's to Hope including some time travel. This is technically a wip BUT it doesn't end on a cliffhanger and things are resolved so I very much recommend reading

Everything Nice part 7- The master post doesn't link to this part and instead redirects to part 6.

Part 9- Also not included in the master post.

Styrofoam Pumpkins- Part of Manic_Intent's Cablepool reposting collection! Wade takes care of Hope in the future when she gets separated from Nate and WOW I love it.

Homeward Bound- Wade and Hope adjust to Nate's second death (Nate dies a lot but seems to pop back up in spite of it. Can anyone stay dead in Marvel??)

... Makes Perfect- Domestic fluff basically

In Winter Fell Rain- Nate and Hope slide through time. Some of the language is a little outdated and not PC despite being a fairly recent fic, but it's so adorable that I still recommend it. Plus there's 2 parts!

Smut (and a lil plot)

It Tickles His Fancy- They tickle each other and it's fucking adorable ok

Dick Pics- Everything about this, damn son

Feeling Small- This is so cute I wanna cry, I love when fics explore Wade's insecurity with his appearance.

Crazy For Your Touch- Wade's skin is sensitive. idk I just like fics where Wade is taken care of bc he never is in the comics

Helping Hands- The whole premise of this KILLS me

A Little Frantic- Wade gets hit with a drug. Not sure how I feel about the consent here bc it's blurred possible uncomfy, but the last 2 chapters are caring cablepool interactions! DP/Everyone, established open-relationship for Nate/Wade.

Porn Mode- Subby Wade!

Practicing Self-Restraint- Wade owns a lot of panties

Sexy Shenanigans- I love any fic that involves annoying Scott or putting him in uncomfortable situations, esp bc he doesn't like DP hahaha

Procrastination Nation- Comic!Wade is very insecure and I like seeing him try to get over that

Valentine's Day- I'm here for the fluff and cuteness :)

End of The Line- Nate not understanding the concept of phone sex is GREAT (but the racist joke about how Japanese ppl speak English in this fic is not)

#cablepool #deadpool 2 #wade wilson #nate summers #deadpool #hope summers #nate/wade #cable #If people want me to do a movies verse one #I may be open to it #I just haven't been reading a lot of recent fics #the last few days #so imma get on that #sorry this list took so long idk how to format from mobile so it was a hassle #manic_intent #rallamajoop #I need more authors tumblrs to tag them in this

My Friend has been Falsely Accused of Tracing So I Will Defend Him

Okay I accidentally deleted the blog I posted this one because I’m a dumbass, so I’ll just repost it here even though I don’t use this blog anymore, but apparently I still have followers. Bless caches because I was able to get this back from google caches so I don’t have to retype everything. I added further evidence and refutes to claims that were not in my original post btw.

Anyways, I am making this post to help out my good friend @5ru9 aka Falco who has been recently accused of tracing/copy pasting other people’s / official art!

I’ve known Falco for over 3 years, and we’ve grown as artists together. Once in a while we give each other advice on art (thanks for the mech and armor advice and teaching me how you line and color!), but most of the time we just meme each other.

Anyways, a lot of people have pointed out that they’ve seen him livestream before, and he’s already posted some of his block outs and other wips as proof that he does not trace in his post here:

http://5ru9.tumblr.com/post/168277137427/hello-i-have-been-informed-about-a-callout-post

To further prove his claim with solid evidence, I shall present to you!

Times he’s asked for advice on his art, or I randomly decided to mention things I notice in his WIPs!

Exhibit A-1:

A Tenkai Knight he made up! I pointed out a few things I thought were awkward about the perspective in his WIP.

Exhibit A-2:

He started working on this way back in July and didn’t finish it until much later because he was working on several other pieces at the same time. I suggested lowering the eyebrows and drawing the eyes a bit narrower to get more of the playful expression he was aiming for. In his final piece here, you can see that Falco continued to refine the piece.

By the way! The reason he sometimes posts a lot of detailed artworks one shortly after the other is because he sometimes works on multiple pieces at once! And then finishes coloring them around the same time.

Exhibit A-3

Falco and I spent good time trying to figure out why he felt like something was wrong with his sketch! I thought maybe it was the trapezius and I decided to red line (or blue line i guess) it so it’d be easier for him to see approximately where i thought the line should go to fix it.

Exhibit A-4:

The gif-ing process turned white bg into blue… anyways! Falco showed me an early version of his Tenkai Knights OC that he eventually used in an April Fool’s joke to pass off as a new character in the series. He mastered the tenkai style enough that at first glance, people really did believe it was official! Like you had to get a good look to realize Shiyu was not really a real new character! Btw I had to go into my old twitter acc to find this…. (Edit: the gif wasn’t working bc it was too big so i had to make it smaller… and choppier and stuff to fit the mb max)

Well now that brings us into!!!

Exhibit B

Some of his old art!! (I’m so sorry falco i’ll be exposing your ancient art to ppl now)

Here you can see his progress from 2014 Tenkai fan art to early 2015! It starts looking more and more like the official art, which is what he was going for.

For reference, here’s what the character Ceylan Jones/Washizaki looks like:

I blocked out fan art by everyone except falco (which i marked) that shows up in this google search. Everything else is official art. The two fan arts by falco you see here are more recent, the angel one being from 2016 and the chicken one from 2017 (i think he also made a version with sonic instead of the chicken? lol). They’re both on his dA accounts btw! The 2017 one really looks like official art, doesn’t it? But it’s his artwork! He practiced a LOT to reach that point, and I hope the earlier arts I showed above this one are enough to convince you in his art progression! Side note: i only used images w/ceylan because 1. i’m biased because ceylan is my favorite character and 2. he drew ceylan a lot because ceylan is his favorite character Also you can see his handle change from s3iwashi to burningbraven. 5ru9 is is a pretty recent handle.

ANYONE WHO HAS BEEN IN THE TENKAI FANDOM FOR A WHILE CAN VOUCH FOR HIM!!!!!

And now for the last one,

Exhibit C

WHAT? WHO IS THIS???

This is my favorite character from a Chinese series called AOTU World! His name is Grey, or 格瑞。I commissioned Falco to draw Grey for me, and let me tell you it would be IMPOSSIBLE for him to have copied any of this. Why? Because the donghua is 3D and the manhua’s art is very inconsistent!

Let me show you the reference pictures I gave him to work with!

They’re all in my gdrive folder here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1CqwH5KS-pHX0ZqLHQpoIZBi6W-gsU_Tz

This is all official art from the manhua, except the 3D model is from the donghua. Look at how inconsistent the references are! There’s no way he could have copy and pasted or traced this! Grey doesn’t even do this particular pose anywhere. lol. I told Falco “give him a cool sword pose”. (I’m sorry for being so vague, Falco! But it turned out great!!) The style he ended up drawing in was a mixture of all of them.

Btw!! here’s the blockout and the sketch he sent me before I sent my payment for the commission!! You can see his construction in the block out!! The arm construction and leg construction is light, but it’s there. You can also see the block out below the sketch. Notice he actually fixed the leg length from block out -> sketch?

ARGUMENTS AGAINST SPECIFIC ACCUSATIONS

LOOK, thte actual drawing doesn’t even match the sprites that closely. Pay attention to the collar especially. The whole frankensteining the image and then painting over it thing is just way more effort than drawing it himself. They don’t even match that well in the overlays. Like wow it’s such a crime to try and stay on model.

WHO WOULD EVEN NEED TO TRACE A MOUTH LIKE THAT? IT’S SO EASY TO DRAW. I CAN DRAW IT PERFECTLY JUST BY LOOKING AT IT. (well i AM an animator so I also do style mimicking)

Doesn’t the fact that you have to edit the sprites to match his artwork prove that you’re just a tryhard in making up fake evidence and not a tryhard enough at art since you think it’s so impossible for people to draw characters on model?

Yes he referenced the broom and possibly the heels from this image, but your overlays for the leg and arms are disingenuous and you know it. The leg positions are different, and the overlay doesn’t even match up. Face tracing also makes no sense. You literally stretched the mouth to try and make it fit but it still doesn’t fit. Do you really think it’s that hard to draw mouths and eyes in the DR style? DR faces are really simple to emulate. Also you fool, if you follow Falco’s artwork enough, you’d realize the way he draws bodies is actually rather consistent even as he does different styles. Especially when it comes to hands. His way of drawing hands is how I recognize his art and know right away it’s his art and not official art or a trace (also his coloring style). The heels he drew are also reminiscient of how he typically draws shoes/feet. he draws them bulkier. The other art has dainty heels. At most he referenced how backside works because he’s used to drawing sneakers.

Also come on, if all you referenced from an image was a broom because you liked the style (his is also clearly drawn by himself since you can’t overlay it on the other one. like i said he mostly used the style as a reference for how-to-broom) and you referenced pieces from many other images, are you going to list every single thing you referenced? While yeah it’d be nice to, it’s a little ridiculous to expect all 5-20 references whenever they post the image. It’s a thing where, if someone asks, you’d tell them, but it’s too much to list all of it. This isn’t a 20 page thesis.

If it’s such a crime, then holy shit sue all those people who parody other people’s comics and sue everyone who dares!!! to ever draw something remotely similar to someone else. Dang.

Art doesn’t live in a vacuum.

Okay, this one is just plain stupid. You distorted the sprite to match it up with his, but what would be the point for him to distort it just to trace? Also if he traced, can you explain the rest of the fingers that are drawn nicely but clearly different from the sprite? Also the thumbs don’t even match up. His faces more downward while the sprite is facing more forward. Also explain the turned body in Falco’s sketch, then!! And the hair! OH WAIT YOU CAN’T EXPLAIN IT BY ANY OTHER WAY THAN HE DREW IT HIMSELF!!! BECAUSE NO SPRITES MATCH IT AND YOU CAN’T FIND ANY SPRITES TO DISTORT ENOUGH TO EVEN GET CLOSE TO MAKING FAKE EVIDENCE FOR IT.

By the way, the style he drew it in is closer to the drv3 than this sprite. while it’s pretty much the same style as the older games, drv3′s art is more refined than the older games. Falco’s art is also more refined as you can see. (wow not only did falco’s art improved from back when we first met; even professional artists improve. shocker. /s)

Dude what the hell? The overlays don’t even match up even ifi you tried to frankenstein them. And these are really common poses at really common angles, and once again, must every single thing we reference from be listed in the description of every place we post an image? Let me just list all 30 videos and 50 images i used as reference for one of my prints. jfc.

As for the saihara animation based on the digimon opening animation? It was pretty clear to everyone that it’s some kind of parody. Many people when making parody animations don’t mention the original video either?? It’s a fun thing for fans of the franchise to recognize the reference themselves. Yes he could have said it was the digimon opening on the description, but at least he didn’t say he thought of the idea himself? And if you talk to him about the animation, he will openly tell you it’s from digimon. And the fact that you think it’s a trace despite how much the overlays do NOT work out is practically proof that you’re just doing this maliciously and hoping that saying he traces enough with shoddy evidence will make people believe you.

ALSO PEOPLE LITERALLY TRACE ANIMATIONS TO MAKE PARODIES OF, DOWN THE STYLE WHERE ALL THEY CHANGE IS THE HAIR AND OUTFIT, AND YET SOMETHING WITH DIFFERENCES EVEN DOWN TO THE STYLE LIKE THIS IS SOMETHING YOU THINK IS A TRACE? Do you need a new pair of glasses?

I was gonna ignore this one because it was the same as a lot of the others, but you literally erased Falco’s face line so it would match the sprite, and you covered the bigger boobs Falco gave her, and totally ignored that the angle doesn’t even match properly. Like you covered parts of his sketch in your overlay just to make it look more like it matches, but if you actually fucking overlayed it correctly, even with squashing it, it won’t fit. (Also sorry to point this out Falco, but the circles on your goggle lenses are too small compared to the sprite; Maybe if you actually traced like this person claims you’re doing, they’d be perfectly like the sprite. OH BUT WAIT YOU DREW IT YOURSELF SO OF COURSE THERE’S SOME DIFFERENCES. JUST LIKE HOW EVEN THOUGH ALL YOUR OTHER WORKS ARE REALLY CLOSE TO THE STYLE AND PRETTY MUCH ON MODEL, THEY’RE NOT EXACTLY THE SAME WITH THE SPRITES! SHOCKER...!)

HOLY FUCK. I already pointed out and gave evidence that Falco started on the Nier Automata drawing waaaaaaay before he posted the actual picture. The 2 sketches are sketches! They don’t take a super long time. I busted out 10 inktobers in 1 day. (thumbnails of my artwork below)

Look I even even lined and colored 5 fairly detailed chibis in 1 day (i did the sketches earlier though. btw i hand drew the plaid on ray. it was annoying)

At the moment I have 5 wips. They’ll likely all be done around the same time. I know Falco often has multiple wips as well, and sometimes he also finishes some of them close to each other. Some artists (like my friend Fish) can pump out extremely detailed paintings in less than a day. WOW some artists can draw at a fairly fast rate. WHO KNEW? (manga artists in weekly magazines pump out 15-20 pages of manga in a week)

He’s still developing a style; he’s mostly doing style mimics of series he likes in the mean time.

At the moment he’s mostly experimenting with the drv3 style, but he was practicing p5 earlier. By the way, he DESIGNED a phantom outfit for mishima. Who the heck would he copy that from? He made it up because he loved mishima and wanted to make him part of the gang in some AU fan art. Mishima doesn’t have artwork like this for him to trace, so it should be obvious it’s his own work.

And the pokemon and crash bandicoot ones are actually not that close. The pokemon one looks like a good attempt at imitating the pokemon style, but since he hasn’t practiced it enough, you can tell it’s a little off model because, well, he drew it himself and doesn’t practice the pokemon style a lot. Same with the crash one. Had it been a trace, with his level of control over his lines (which you can’t refute), it would have been much closer.

And you act like it’s a crime to imitate others’ art style. It’s really not. What is wrong with you? Do you want to slow down animation production by only letting the character designer draw everything? Or do you want animation where the art has 0 semblance of consistency because all the artists draw in vastly different styles? lol. What do you have against artists that try to stay on model?

LOL THIS IS ONE IS SO STUPID WHERE DO I EVEN START?

Oh, I KNOW. Why don’t I do that same pose with my own hands?

IT’S A MIDDLE FINGER, YOU IDIOT.

Just because YOU don’t know basic anatomy and can’t tell a middle finger from a pinky, doesn’t mean everyone else is as incompetent as you. He wasn’t doing the rock-on hand pose (sry idk if that pose actually has a name lol), and he’s drawn the rock-on hand pose properly before.

Closing statement

I believe I covered a lot of things and provided a lot of evidence here that Falco and his other friends did not cover in his defense against the false accusations.

I even added more counter arguments in this repost because apparently my original post wasn’t enough to convince people.

Perhaps the person calling him out meant well (no, I doubt it because they made a new side blog just to diss him because they knew if they did it on their actual blog, they’d be called out for being a jerk), but they did not do enough digging to find out if their claims were true or not (and they probably know well enough that they MADE UP THEIR EVIDENCE).

If you’re going to make a call out post, please make triple sure sure of everything before you accuse people. Talk to them first. Talk to those who know them too.

Many jobs require you to be able to draw characters exactly in the style given. Animators for example! There are multiple animators working on one series, and they all need the skill to draw consistently! Some games also have teams that need to be able to draw in the same style so they don’t have to leave everything up to one person. Comic artists often have assistants that help them draw background characters, but those background characters can’t be too different from the main style either.

As for the people who believed the call out post before, it’s perfectly understandable. I am also guilty of falling for similar posts in the past. Due to that, I decided it was best to double check before retweeting (i say retweet because i use twitter far more than tumblr these days. heck i almost never post anything on this blog) things, and if i wasn’t sure, I would just leave it be.

I hope my post was able to convince you on Falco’s innocence and all his hard work. And if you already believed him but checked out this post anyways… Thanks! ObligatoryPleaseWatchAotuWorld.

And again:

Art does NOT exist in a vacuum. All artists are influenced by each other and MANY artists, especially professionals, use a lot of references, whether it be from photographers, their own pictures, others’ artwork, life, or whatever. We all use many different resources. If you’re going to say that’s wrong, you just dismissed millions of artists in the world.
