💕🍰 A Treat for the Prince 🍮🦈
(Prince Sidon x Chubby!Fem!Reader)
You and Sidon attend a royal banquet. You're instantly drawn to the vast array of desserts, but your lover wants to indulge in something even sweeter...
Contents: bad dessert innuendos, body worship, breast touching/sucking, oral (fem recieving), multiple orgasms, overstim, vaginal sex, double penetration (Sidon has 2 dicks), rough sex, little bit of breeding kink, uhhh and our Prince loves thicc Hylian ladies!
(Notes: Here we go! The first of (hopefully) many Sidon x reader fics from yours truly!)
As King Dorephan gave his speech, you tried your best to pay attention, though your eyes kept drifting to the large display of food on the table before you. It was a celebration banquet for the citizens of Zora's Domain, so they went all-out. Celebrating Bazz's promotion to Sergeant of the Royal Guards, welcoming the new head physician for the domain, Yona, and, of course, honouring yourself as the newly-named official consort for the Prince of the Zora.
You glanced up to Sidon, who immediately met your eyes and gave you a smile. The title of consort was simply a formality, you and Sidon were already far, far closer than that, though that was a secret just the two of you kept. The bitemarks on your shoulders from last night were proof enough of that. You hid them well under a soft cloak that complimented your silk dress beautifully. It was a sapphire blue that matched the jewels decorating the Prince's armour. The fabric hugged your soft middle in a way that made the Prince's eyes keep running up and down your lovely form. You flushed under his gaze, and gave him a look that said "Later."
King Dorephan finished his speech and the room applauded. Everyone took their seats and you followed suit, sitting next to Sidon and smiling at the bountiful feast everyone could enjoy. Naturally it featured fresh seafood, but there were also several Hylian dishes to suit your palate. You took a little of everything, making sure you'd have room to enjoy the desserts you could spy off to the side.
Sidon took your hand under the table, "Is everything to your liking, my droplet?" He spoke softly, lest anyone hear the endearing pet name.
You hummed around a forkful of salmon marinated in herbs and stambulbs, "It's magnificent, my Prince." You smiled brightly.
Sidon matched your smile, "Wonderful! I'm glad you enjoy it," he gestured to some crab cakes on his plate, "I've never had these before, they're quite good! I never knew Hylian food was so rich!"
You laughed a bit and politely wiped your mouth with a napkin, “It shouldn’t concern you, my Prince, with all the swimming you do, you can indulge for a night.”
“I’m not concerned, and you shouldn’t be either,” Sidon brushed your leg with his own and you shivered at the rough texture of his skin, he leaned down to whisper to you, “I do so love watching you indulge in the finer things in life~” he slid another helping of fish onto your plate and you flushed.
Sidon sat back in his seat, as though nothing happened, and he turned to interrupt Muzu, who was beginning to say something like “What kind of royal consort is served by the prince!?”
You kept eating, enjoying the flavours of the different types of fish mingling with vegetables and herbs. Before long, the entree plates were emptied and cleared away, and plates full of decadent-looking desserts were brought out.
Sidon hummed, looking at the treats, “Oh my, I haven’t seen any of these, either! Let’s see, y/n?” you looked up as he said your name, “Which of these would you recommend?”
You swallowed, not having seen this many desserts in one place before. You surveyed the selection before your eyes caught on a simple white ramekin. You smiled and picked it up, “I think you’d enjoy this one, my Prince!” you set it before Sidon and handed him a spoon, “It’s called crème brûlée. It’s custard with burnt sugar on top.”
Sidon looked at the dish curiously, “It’s burnt… on purpose? Intriguing,” he went to scoop some out, and he grinned when the top crust cracked, “Oh! It shattered!”
You smiled up at him as he tried a bite. You loved watching him indulge, too. He was always so worried about the Kingdom and his responsibilities, you always adored when he simply relaxed. You were very good at helping him relax, after all.
Sidon’s eyes widened, “This is simply perfect! It’s creamy and sweet, and the top is very crunchy and it has a different flavour entirely!” He hummed and looked at you, his eyes becoming half-lidded, “You know… this treat reminds me of you.”
“O-oh?” you felt your heart skip a beat at the heated look in the prince’s golden eyes, “How do you mean?”
Sidon ran his spoon through the silky custard cream, “It’s so sweet, and soft…” one of his hands squeezed your thigh through your dress, making you jump slightly. You could see his sharp teeth glint in the low candlelight as his low voice, only loud enough for you to hear, rumbled from his chest, “and so delightfully fun to break~” the spoon cracked the top of the brûlée and you felt a jolt go through your body as his claws poked into your plush thigh, no doubt leaving pinpricks in your dress.
“Is everything okay, y/n? Your face is positively red?” Sidon asked louder, feigning ignorance. You could see the cheeky, lusty look in his eyes still.
You cleared your throat, “I-I’m fine, thank you, my Prince.”
“Ah, I see the problem, you haven’t had any dessert yet,” Sidon laughed, “Go ahead, have whatever you’d like!”
You looked at the variety of the desserts still on the table, eyes being drawn to a personal-sized red velvet cake tiered with icing and wildberries. You smiled and set it in front of you, giving Sidon a coy smile of your own, “Hm, what a coincidence, this one reminds me of you.”
Sidon looked down at you after taking a sip of his drink from a tall glass flute, “Is that so, droplet?”
You licked your lips, “It’s red and rich and delicious…” you brought a forkful to your mouth and looked at your beloved through your lashes, “and I don’t know if it can all fit inside me.”
Everyone at the table turned your way as Sidon shattered the stem of his glass with the way his hand clenched. You hid your grin with a mouthful of cake, not caring about the cold liquid spilled on your lap. He covered his fluster with a cough and a laugh.
“O-oh! How clumsy of me! I spilled my drink all over y/n’s dress!” he laughed and took your hand, “It simply won’t do for my consort to be in such a state! Come, let’s get you cleaned up.”
Without another word (although with some cut-off protests from the other nobility at the table), Sidon whisked you away from the banquet and straight towards his (and your) quarters.
You giggled as he hastily locked the bedroom door behind him and fixed you with a lusty gaze.
“My naughty little minx,” he purred, caging you in against the bed, “You really know how to make me lose control.” He leaned down to capture your lips with his own and you moaned as you felt his huge hands run up your plush form, your dress bunching up at the sides, the silky fabric sliding up your body sensually, delighting the sensitive nerves of your sides and tummy. Your prince’s hands wasted no time and started feeling up your newly-exposed skin. Sidon’s tongue explored your mouth, the different flavours of caramel and berries mixing into an intoxicating sweetness.
“Sidon,” you breathed as he released your mouth, hands reaching up to undo your cloak. As the fabric fell away, the Zora let out a pleased rumble and started showering wet kisses to your shoulders and neck, “Ah, that feels so good!”
Sidon laughed roughly against your skin, “As sweet as that dessert was, I much prefer devouring you, my sweet~” He groaned as his hands dipped under your panties, getting two handfuls of your ass. You gasped as his sharp teeth grazed the tender bitemarks he left on you last night as he groped you roughly. “You drive me absolutely wild…” he panted, breath hot against your neck.
“Let me,” you put a hand on his chest and the prince pulled away just enough to let you completely pull off your blue dress, tossing it to the side. Sidon’s eyes were downright hungry as you reached behind you to unclasp your bra, leaving your top completely bare, “Come here?” you fell back on the bed, sandals coming off of your feet, and reached out to him, needing his hands on you again.
Sidon took a steadying breath and removed his cravat and armour pieces, watching you watch him with an equally greedy, needy desire. He set the pieces on his dresser and nearly launched himself at you. Your mouths met in a messy, desperate kiss, your arms around his strong neck and his hands exploring every dip and curve on your gorgeous, soft body. Your tongue ran over his teeth, and Sidon rumbled as he tasted some of your blood on his own tongue.
“So delicious,” he purred, moving down your body, trailing his long tongue down your body, leaving sucking bites all over your plush form. He lapped at your nipples, teasing the buds until they were stiff before pinching them roughly making you squeal. He grinned up at you, “Such a gorgeous reaction. I adore playing with you like this, droplet~” you squirmed in his hold, moaning in pleasure as he sucked dark marks into the soft, tender flesh of your breasts.
You were shivering in his hold, moaning into the cool air of the room. Sidon nuzzled into your belly, kissing right under your navel, once a part of your body you disliked, but that opinion swiftly changed when your lover told you how much he loved it.
Sidon held your thick thighs apart and grinned. Your face flushed hot as you realized he must be looking at your completely-sodden panties. He looked up, meeting your eyes with his own heated, golden gaze. You could see his teeth glint in his smile as he trailed his tongue up the sensitive skin where your thigh met your pelvis and he let out a rough growl as his teeth caught on the fabric of your panties, snapping the thin material and making you gasp. He repeated the action just as slowly and sensually, leaving your panties tattered and your pussy exposed.
“Mm, I love seeing you like this,” he breathed, hot breath washing over your most sensitive part and making you whimper, “This is by far my favourite treat in the world…”
Your head rolled back in the pillows and you moaned as Sidon’s thick, slippery tongue slithered up your pussy, collecting your juices and bumping into your hard little clit. You reached down and held Sidon’s head, gentle on the sensitive fins even as your mind went numb from pleasure. You struggled not to use your thighs to hold him in place, and he must have felt them quaking. Sidon groaned into you and used his hands to grope your thighs, bringing them to lock around his head. He pulled off enough to whine, “Please, please, my love! I love feeling these juicy thighs around me,” he smiled, grazing his teeth over your inner thighs, “I want you to hold me down until you cum for me~”
You cried out, thighs holding Sidon in place as he went back to work, teasing your lips and clit, with his tongue, slurping so loudly it made your face flush in embarrassment. Your prince was loud, too, letting out loud groans as he ate you, his hips grinding into the mattress beneath you. You gasped as his tongue finally slithered inside you, teasing your gummy walls and reaching deep, deep inside. You writhed in the sheets, Sidon’s hands holding your thighs around his head and keeping you where he wanted you. Your hips started grinding down on his tongue, urging it further inside. His teeth grazed your clit and your eyes rolled back, crying out as orgasm rippled through your body. Sidon moaned with you, his tongue held taught, letting you ride it through your pleasure. Your body went limp and Sidon pulled away from you. As you came down from your high, you looked at him and saw him lick his lips lewdly.
“So very delicious~” he wiped his mouth with the back of his hand and straightened up, kneeling on the bed. You could see both of his cocks already starting to protrude from their slit.
You panted and readjusted yourself amongst the pillows, opening your arms, “Come here, my Prince,” you called with a lusty smile, “I want seconds.”
Sidon smiled and crawled above you, “Oh, my sweet little droplet, I’ll give you anything you desire,” he held up your hips to align with his claspers, the long, tapered, tendril-like lengths stretching up to tease over your sopping-wet lips, “do you know what I’m going to do to you, darling?”
You bit your lip and shook your head, pretending not to know exactly what he was planning. (hint: it’s the same thing he did last night, and the night before, and the previous morning…)
Sidon groaned as his hands started groping your sides again, moving you to line up his cocks with your pussy, “I’m not only going to fuck you,” the word was spoken roughly and it made your heart skip a beat. He never swore unless he was with you~ “I’m going to stuff you. I’m going to stuff you so full with my seed that you’ll be dripping with it, so full that you’ll become addicted to the feeling of being a sweet little depository for my cum.” He panted harshly, his hips grinding his cocks against you, bumping your oversensitive little clit and making you whine at the feeling and his filthy words, “Do you want that, my droplet?”
You nodded, feeling like you were losing your mind, “Yes, please! Please, Sidon, fill me up!” you panted, rocking your hips down. You cried out as just the tips breached your well-lubricated pussy.
Sidon snarled and grinned, holding your hips above the bed with his superior strength, “Get ready, darling,” He groaned as he slowly eased both cocks inside you, letting you adjust when they were halfway in, “Oh, gods, my droplet, you’re so hot inside!” he cried out.
You cried out and panted, adjusting to the twin lengths inside you. You could feel them squirming around inside you, looking for a place to hold you open as you were bred. The thought alone made you feel hotter and you nodded, needing Sidon to fulfill his promise and stuff you full.
Sidon eased his hips forward, his cocks delving as deep as they could go before they spread. You screamed and gasped as a second orgasm rocked your body. You whined and urged Sidon to keep going. The prince let out ragged breaths, letting out a rough groan as he was fully inside you, and he started pumping his hips, cocks drawing in and out, in and out, his hips smacked into your own, and he looked down at you, vision hazy with lust, as he saw your thighs, stomach, and tits jiggle with each movement, “Fuck, my droplet, my… princess! Fuck!” His eyes dilated, the gold of his irises barely visible as he lost himself to the pleasure. The lingering taste of your juices, your blood, your dessert on his tongue, the scent of you, powerful in this room from the nights you spent sleeping in the sheets, the feeling of your soft body welcoming him in, your hot, wet, tight pussy embracing his cocks and begging him to breed you, to fill you, to stuff you. It was all too much.
Sidon roared and moved, holding your legs up to your shoulders, and you could see him grin as he easily maneuvered you into a mating press. He started slamming into you, cocks flexing and reaching deeper than his tongue could, sliding against your sweet spot and teasing your cervix with every rough thrust. He leaned over you and he pounded you, hot breaths ragged against your neck as he growled more filth into your pointed ear.
“You’re mine! This body, all of this gorgeous body is all mine!
“You're so lovely, my sweet droplet! I need you, I need you so badly, all the time! I want you like this every day!
“My darling, I’m going to fill you up, you'll come un-done! Around me, and, and, unggh, I’m going to- going to-!”
You grabbed Sidon’s head and smashed your lips together, not caring how his sharp teeth cut your lips, tongues warring as he came. You gasped into his mouth at the feeling of his thick and heavy cocks unloading into you, his thick seed pouring into your womb as his chest rumbled against your own thundering heartbeat. One of Sidon’s giant hands came down and started roughly rubbing your clit, sending you over the end for the third time that evening. You whined and shuddered against him, toes curling in the sheets.
“My beautiful princess, my sweet droplet…” Sidon panted and held your cheek, “I love you so much…”
You held his hand and kissed inside his palm, “Oh, my Prince, I love you too, with all my heart…” your vision was bleary, but you could see how tender the prince’s smile was for you. Only for you.
Sidon lowered your legs and you whimpered, startling him, “Oh! Dear, I was too rough on you, wasn't I?” He looked ashamed.
You reached out and pulled him back against your chest, “No, you were perfect~” you giggled and kissed him again, sweeter this time. Sidon sighed pleasantly and licked up the dried blood on your lips.
“Everyone is probably worried about us,” Sidon said with a half-smile, “But I don't quite want to leave yet.”
You hummed, “Oh? And why is that, my Prince?” You teased and flexed around his cocks, still inside you, getting hard again.
Sidon purred and ground his hips into yours, “I don't think you're quite full yet~”

Rereading The Murderbot Diaries now that I have System Collapse and once again struck by how Murderbot reads expression.
As an ND person myself who sees a lot of overlap with it at times, it's very interesting to me. I've repeatedly had issues where the expressions I was making or interpreting did not match other people's ideas, and my mother has never in my whole life correctly deduced my tone of voice. Not once. I think one reason I'm drawn (haha) to animated and stylized mediums is because stylistic representations of people have to have expressions that scan immediately to as much of the audience as possible.
(Thinking about that bit where Murderbot comments on humans not knowing what they're trying to express when they're in Real Life and not actors on a soap opera set.)
Anyways, it makes sense that Murderbot might have some skill at interpreting expressions and microexpressions and so on. Those are viable and valuable security skills, after all. But it strikes me how accurate it seems to be at doing so. Since the series is almost entirely in Murderbot's perspective, it's less likely to mention being wrong, but it regularly confidently refers to expressions by the emotion it inferred from them.
As someone who is not good at this, it's very interesting to me when I have a lot of traits overlapping with MB. (It's also worth discussing how ND folk, and specifically autistic people, are often pigeonholed to the point that expressing Uncommon Autistic Traits makes people believe you aren't autistic.) Murderbot talks a lot about not liking people or being interested in strange humans, but it often contradicts itself without realizing. I think one reason it claims not to care about humans is because it's often been in positions where its clients could be harmed incidentally or intentionally and it would not be allowed to intercede due to Capitalism Hell, or malice/indifference from the top.
It says it has to do what humans tell it, and that's technically true, but there's a further power dynamic within groups; the boss has all the power and, presumably, the highest level of management in a group has the authority to order SecUnits to do things against their actual design - fighting other SecUnits, ignoring safety protocol in order to save money, and leaving bleeding humans unattended to go pick up equipment are all canonical examples that Murderbot provides us. I wouldn't be at all surprised if killing or harming less influential members of the group in question were totally common and viable.
This is all to mean that it isn't emotionally safe to care about humans, because even if it does its tasks completely successfully, they might be at risk due to the negligence inherent in the system. But Murderbot spends half a dozen books trying and failing Not To Care, so it just refuses to acknowledge that it does care for a long time.
Anyways, I don't have any pithy conclusions, I just find it super interesting that MB talks about having a hard time understanding humans, and ART canonically has difficulty processing human emotional contexts when not familiar with the relevant situations, and yet Murderbot, canonically, is often successful at reading emotion in the expressions of the people around it and itself in recordings. It's not a trait given to many ND characters, particularly autistic or autistic-analogue ones, and it adds some fun texture to the storytelling.

I could honestly read about thierry all day
feel free to use this as an ask to rant about whatever the fuck!
ohh well... since you asked so very nicely...
( THANK you for taking such an interest & being invested, you are TOO kind & i sincerely appreciate your time & thoughts ❤️ )
HERE'S A COUPLE THINGS FOR YOU!
despite how often i've drawn him interacting with other members of the para/narraverse & despite having non-canon canon ties with a good handful, thierry would -realistically- be DEEPLY perturbed by the idea- let alone the Reality of a multiverse where his ideas & his very BEING are copied / rewritten / exist & have existed prior to & after him, & FURTHERMORE, he's seen as the " lesser copy " by a good many;
to keep things lighthearted, i rarely delve into these feelings of his & instead suggest he repressed / somehow managed to get over them so he can interact with other narrators without much issue, but truthfully, he's sickened - even to the point where he wonders what the point is of him doing ANYTHING when it can be done better by others or has been already. it's times like this where he clings to rosemary, the one thing of his not " copied, " for assurance, as well as an ego boost or two;
ooooon a lighter, sillier note, thierry has social media; primarily twitter. probably a handful of twitters, actually.
in his universe, there's a twitter to promote the stanley parable, a personal, a private, et cetera - & on the latter two / any twitter that isn't dedicated for the game, he's no doubt started controversy & fighting on, as well as discussions about the oddities of the game & responding to people, anonymously or not.
speaking OF twitter, the zany stories kevan's tweeted out with stannar are canon to thierry / rosemary in some way; either, those being stories he's personally told for laughs, or being random occurrences that canonically happened to them.
thierry is British! of course; england " born & raised ", but he's ALSO french! & possibly a little irish. also a homosexual
next to being a game developer, thierry is ALSO a for-hire voice actor, & something of a writer. though the stanley parable takes current precedent ( as it has since it's release in 2013 ), he's done roles for other games, story readings, commercials - et cetera ( can you see i'm taking some inspiration from kevan's work here, ) but has yet to get any of his writing off the ground beyond the game itself. likely preferring to convey stories through visual techniques rather than simple writing.
due to a texturing issue with his body, both thierry's teeth & eyes are YELLOW, not white. furthermore, these are both liable to change depending on the lighting environment - also due to a glitch thierry himself has never noticed or fixed. see below;
& YEAH! hopefully that should sate you for now ~
THANK YOU AGAIN FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO RAMBLE!
#anonymous#inbox#TSP blogging#Thierry tag#i realize the vibe of these vary but you asked for rambles & BY JOVE YOU'RE GETTING THEM

my tablet is currently halfway across the country for repairs (my brother's the most tech-savvy in my family and asking him to take a look at it was cheaper than taking it to a shop) so i haven't been able to draw lately. i've made a bunch of traditional sketches in the meantime, but none of them are presentable enough to post here, so i decided to take a trip down memory lane and fill out one of foxorian's influence maps!
below the cut are the names of the artists featured here, as well as a little bit of director's commentary on how they've influenced me :]
yugo limbo (website, tumblr, twitter) - some time last year, i realized something profoundly unnerving: i actually... don't like the art in smile for me's original release all that much? that's not to say it's bad, just that there isn't a whole lot about it outside of maybe its architecture that stands out to me. which is REALLY WEIRD, considering i wrote a whole retrospective about how much this game means to me. art-wise, however, it was only after smile for me's release that yugo limbo's art evolved in a way that really resonated with me; i love how textured everything is, i love the way they simplify clothing folds and the way that skin wrinkles around the joints, i love their love for puppets; all of those things ended up worming their way into my art style and tastes one way or another, and i couldn't be happier!! it didn't feel right to leave smile for me out of the equation entirely, though, so i chose a piece that was both related to that game and that i felt reflected a lot of what i love about yugo's more recent art.
echobsilly (twitter, tumblr) - oh god, speaking of yugo limbo - god. i fucking love echo's art so much i have no idea how to even do it justice in writing. like many people i first found him through his smile for me/limbolane fanart and animations - and those are some of his best work, don't get me wrong, but i really wanted to include one of his original designs to make a point that he's just fuckin great at art in general. character design, facial expressions, body language, composition, LIGHTING... he makes it all just. so so so gorgeous. i always liked "painterly" art styles for lack of a better word, but i think his art is what first pushed me to embrace that more in my digital art. i also like how he talks about dr. habit like he's his dead wife. i'm very proud to call him a friend these days :]
japhers (tumblr, twitter, instagram) - i first found japhers' art in high school and he very quickly became a HUUUUUGE influence on my taste in character and costume design. one of the big reasons i never fully bought into the idea that men's fashion is inherently harder to design is bc so much of his art is already dedicated to exploring fashion Without the restrictions of a gender binary in place which is to say that he's really good at drawing buff dudes in frilly outfits. i also think he gave me more confidence to draw more intricate costumes without having to worry about super dainty and clean lineart, bc a lot of his art looks like it's kinda been carved/rendered out of sketches, and it is Gorgeous.
moe suppe (website, tumblr, cohost) - another artist i found in high school, albeit originally from a long-gone instagram account. his art is what kickstarted my desire to have some Roughness in my art, some Texture. it may not have stuck to my lineart, but it Definitely stuck to my rendering. it helped that i was going through a pretty big angel/demon phase at the time, which meant i was pretty immediately drawn in by his delightfully weird worldbuilding. i should probably read fear not now that it's an actual serial...
val wise (website, itch.io, twitter, instagram) - a more recent influence, but a pretty significant one nonetheless. i featured the cover of délicatesse here because it was the first thing from him that i had ever read, but in general his grasp on the human body really blows me away given how deceptively simple his style looks at first glance, especially his faces. the way fat and hair sits on her bodies, and how much it varies from character to character... it's beautiful without being So glamorous that it feels untouchable. his costume design is also great. i recommend his comics for low fantasy/ursula k. le guin fans who are Dying to see more fat characters in leading roles. i also just found out that i am of two hearts is free on itch.io, so i'll be treating myself to that over spring break.
partycoffin (tumblr, twitter) - if you have known me for any amount of time at all then this should not come as a surprise to you. i actually wasn't going to include partycoffin in this map at first, because while welcome home has inspired me in Many creative pursuits, i didn't think visual art was one of them? i definitely picked up some of clown's love for dramatic lighting and thinner lines with just a smidge of well-placed hatching subconsciously, though.
ryoko kui - probably the most recent artist featured here? anyways i have a confession to make: i have yet to read dungeon meshi. i just know that when i saw a post compiling a bunch of ryoko kui's sketches from her daydream hour series, i was so overwhelmed with this feeling of, like… "oh, yeah, these capture almost everything i love about women as flesh and blood people. when i draw women this is the kind of beauty that i want people to see in them." of course, ryoko kui is a great character designer in general, but something about her women specifically really speak to me. the earthier color palettes and rendering also do a lot to endear her art to me.
shuzo oshimi - specifically his art in blood on the tracks. something that really stood out to me in that series was whenever the shadows would get really intense, and you'd get these big blocks of black with just the faintest bit of hatching to soften out some of their edges. it was always very effective in creating this sense of claustrophobia. i really want to keep incorporating that in my more intense pieces!
person918x (tumblr, instagram) - i don't work with 3d art often and i don't see myself doing so any time soon, but the composition of person918x's pieces is something i take a lot of inspiration of. i also love his sequential art, as someone who does a lot of dream journaling it's sick to see the exact Vibe of a dream be put to (digital) canvas. i also firmly believe that he's one of the only people out there who knows what he's doing when it comes to using generative AI in art.
oops i made this list too long so now i have to put the last two artists in a new block.
10. meatgiri (twitter, instagram) - definitely the artist i've known about the longest out of this selection. i think i've been following her since…. oh god. since i was in middle school. way before she was meatgiri, even. i think her influence probably shows up the least in my art, but there are definitely some characteristics that stuck with me for a very long time (the lil block of black accompanied by one or two lines for shading on the neck, the looser lineart making it really easy to incorporate soft curves and sharp edges, the Eyes, etc etc.) i chose this drawing of her oc juniper bc i thought it was both reflective of her current art And a good embodiment of a lot of things i wanted to emulate from her art as a young'un.
11. dragan bibin (website, instagram) - specifically his 'deimos' series. much like with person918x, it's his compositions that really stand out to me the most, and you probably know by now that i'm a sucker for high contrast. i find it interesting though that he uses high contrast to obscure more than he does to highlight... helps a lot with giving the deimos paintings that air of Quiet Unease. another thing i want to incorporate in my horror-adjacent art! manmade environments gone wrong!

hello solradguy! as someone who is interested in learning how to translate japanese, i was wondering what your approach was to learning japanese! did you go in knowing you wanted to translate writing, and focus your efforts on reading? or did you try to learn all aspects of it at once (ie audio recognition, speaking, pitch accent, etc)
I started learning it because, at the time (2015), I was still doing art in mostly analog formats and a lot of really good inking supplies came exclusively from Japan with fully Japanese packaging. It was really frustrating having to rely on machine translation to figure out things like replacing pen cartridges or pen nibs upkeep/maintenance. My focus then was reading and I never really shifted from that; I can't verbally speak it and my audio recognition is only marginally better haha
Translating Guilty Gear stuff sort of happened by accident, and improved my Japanese more than anything else I was using to study with (which was mostly Duolingo, Wanikani, and Tofugu articles 😬). I couldn't find anyone else that was actively working on getting stuff into English and there was a massive backlog of official literature that hadn't even been so much as scanned, so I was like "Well, if no one else is gonna do it..." lmao It later turned out that there was stuff that had been translated, it was just kinda stashed away on niche websites or Discord servers.
Artworks of Guilty Gear X 2000-2007 captions were my first non-Japanese workbook translation project and got me to really start taking my Japanese studies seriously. There weren't files of pretty much any of the illustrations in that book online that were in decent quality. It was actually faster/easier just scanning a page (at the time) than manually cleaning and upscaling one.
This was the very first Guilty Gear thing I ever scanned (March '22) and the caption that went with it:
They’re half-realistically drawn here. At the time, I wanted to pursue texture in my drawings and used many thick layers of Copic markers to try to achieve that. I don’t think it was pointless, but if it’s going to take too much time to do such things, acrylic paints would be better. - Cover of the August 2000 issue of Arcadia Monthly.
It's a lot clunkier than how I would translate it now haha I've improved so much since then...
I used to physically write out the captions and translate them in a notebook. Here's how the first pass of this caption went:
They were only half realistically drawn. At that time I wanted to pursue texture in my drawings, so I used a thick coat of Copic marker. I don't think it's "pointless," but if it's going to take too much time to pursue such things, I think acrylic would be better.
It's fun going through this notebook and seeing these old translations. Eventually I got good enough at doing it in my head that I stopped writing them out, but sometimes really long sentences still trip me up. Japanese word order.......
These days I get most of my practice by doing Renshuu flashcards/games and reading posts by my Japanese mutuals over on Twitter. Even though I'm still actively translating GG stuff, the projects have gotten much bigger and there isn't anything left that's like the Artworks 2007 captions that I could whip out in about an hour anymore, it's all long paragraphs or manga dialog.
I still don't have much desire to practice speaking or listening skills because I would never get any use out of them where I live in the Midwest USA—they'd get rusty fast if I didn't practice religiously. But I do handle Japanese text very often and am fine with focusing 100% of my study time on just reading/writing instead.
#asks#long post#That old saying that's like 'The best way to improve at something is to go insane for it' is 1000% honestly so super true lmfao

Seana's 2023 art highlights
(surprisingly, not a reupload this time!)
January: i drew nothing! we're off to a great start.
February: i drew something! i love Champ even if i haven't drawn anything tf2 related since April. i think it was this piece where i decided to give Champ RED coloring.
[link]
also, this is the month i made my second Moldy plush.... i wasn't very happy with this one, though.
[link]
March: uhhhh. more of my tf2 ocs but i think those aren't that interesting. just go to my tf2 oc blog @brokenbrainstormbulb if you wanna see them honestly, i have an image limit to keep ffs.
that said, this was around the time i got into TC2, so i drew a lot of that kind of stuff... i'm never drawing stuff for it ever again, sorry.
[link]
April: look at the cool thing i drew for a fellow tf2 robot fan!
now, this is the point in time where i start drawing more because of a certain interest, so look forward to all the art that'll come up here.....
May: wow, this really was my first public piece of Papa Louie art, huh. i was so proud of it when i showed it off on tumblr the first time... i don't like it as much anymore. for one, the office wall color is wrong....
i still can't believe Papa Louie was what got me out of art block, but god, i'm glad it did. i don't think i've drawn this much before, and even though the community's tiny, i'm glad to give back as much as i can.
anyways, i said something like "it's so funny that people think they're either super married or divorced as hell" on the same post. i still think that, and it's defos funny as hell, but i've grown a kind of appreciation towards the ship as well. like yeah, you go girls, we love that extra slow burn with so many road bumps on the way!
[link]
June: how the hell did i pump this out. this was also like a few days before i had to leave for the airport too... i don't know myself sometimes.
i swear i still love Boigashipping! i just... i'm just busy with other ships okkkk
[link]
July: i didn't draw anything...? i was in Bali. and i was busy selling adopt designs to draw anything substantial, oopsie!
actually, i DID draw the first part of WDB... it's uh, still the only part. i'm sorry!!!! i'm sorry!!!! i swear i have the whole thing outlined!!! can you just give me anons about the story instead so you won't have to wonder what comes next!!
[link]
August: TOSI fixation. it had not gone past it's conceptual stage, i must note. i do wish i would do something about it though.
[link]
September: the art trade i did with my friend! actually, i was a few weeks late with my part, so it was supposed to be finished by August. oops. i like the textures tbh.
my Chuseok drawings.... i need to draw more characters in hanbok, hee hee.
[link]
October: (breaths in) ...this is the month i finally gave into the JoGotcha wantings.
LOOK. ever since someone put the idea into my brain i couldn't get enough of it, and like,, nobody draws the ship anymore so i had to take matters into my own hands.
this is the first ship i'm this obsessed with. i usually leave ship stuff to other people but this time that wasn't enough and i... i had to do SOMETHING, y'know?
[link]
Cringetober? who's that? haha;; i stopped feeling like doing the whole list after less than a week. impressive.
November: oh look, Plushy Power League. Quinn didn't win, but i do like the thing i drew as propaganda, so whateves.
the first Papa Louie character i ever drew (minus Chuck and Taylor)... did i change how i draw her? uhh. maybe? i'm not too sure.
[link]
also look! the keychain drawing... i need to talk about my Gods and Monsters au again at some point.
actually, since i last uploaded the image of my keychain, i revised it tons... it's kinda different now, and i defos think it looks better. this is actually the time i finally fixed the stupid display setting thing that was really messing up my coloring!
[link 1]
[link 2]
December: ...oops! tablet broke. and i got my 3ds back so i just didn't draw that much even after exams were over.
didn't stop me from drawing though, and in fact i think i made something pretty neat with my christmas art.... even if it did come one day late.
[link]
wow. that's a whole year of stuff... and that's defos a lot! i think i'm really happy with what i drew this year.... i don't know what was in my water the last few years but my art highlights felt really.... miserable? for some reason.
i mean, yeah, i didn't do a lot of what i had planned (GOE ANIMATIC IM SORRY) but i can see that i've done just as much with my hands anyways, so like, who cares? plus, i always have next year... that's coming in 3 hours, oh god-
so, maybe i won't be too hard on myself for not fulfilling my goals... like, i kinda glossed over it, but i did sell my designs for money, and that's like, really impressive! so many people around me buy and sell their art stuff already, so i guess i didn't really register it as something to be proud of... but doing that shit (making, and marketing) is hard!! so like, it's a wow moment for me!
anyways, i'm tired, i only came back home a few hours ago, and i need to get up again for church in a few hours.... mrphgdjd. lets stop being sentimental, and i'll see you people next year. that's a long way off! hope you don't miss me.

I was tagged by the magnificent darling Chrissy @you-are-so-much-better-than-that who came up with the artist questions, the sensational sweetheart Harvey @mikhailoisbaby & honeypie Willow @ian-galagher thank youuu 🥰
1. Do you post on Ao3? If so, how many works do you have on AO3? If not, where do you post?
I don't post my art on ao3 but on tumblr 😊
2. What is your total art count?
17 🎨
3. What are your top 5 pieces by likes/kudos?
4. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
I do respond by liking them bc most comments are in the tags & idk should i respond in the comments? lol
5. What is your current fandom, and what was the first fandom you drew for?
Current fandom: Gallavich & First fandom i drew for & shared my art is Gallavich but probably first fandom was maybe soul eater
6. Have you ever received hate on any art?
Not hate but a complaint on my gallacrafts for theme 11 I'm fucking gay. I got an anon asking why I made the lesbian flag & put the phrase I'm fucking gay & i that should have just done lesbian although I had actually made both but it was on the part 2 bc i had a limit of 10 pictures.
7. What’s a fandom/ship you haven’t drawn for yet but want to?
Maybe Spirk or Soul x Maka from Soul Eater
8. What’s your all-time favorite ship?
Gallavich most definitely, they hit all my likes in a ship plus they're canon & married to boot! #spoiled 😆
9. Do you draw outside of fandom?
Yeah I started getting back into drawing with makinng flowers for mutual's birthday 🥰 I've also made little mascots of baby animals for my niece's baby shower
10. What’s the an art piece you’ve drawn that came out completely differently than you expected?
Probably the GGE2022 for Macy. I had some other ideas. Also their poses were gonna be different like it was either the back of them looking at snow or tumbled into the snow on top of an ny roof top but still not the best at figure drawing so i just did the best of my abilities 😄
11. Do you draw smut?
Not yet but one day 😏
12. Have you ever had any of your art stolen or copied?
Not that I know of
13. Have you ever collaborated on a piece?
No but I think it could be fun to do 🖼
14. What’s an idea you have that you have yet to draw?
Snow king Mickey & Snowflake fae Ian that was gonna be my 2nd choice for the GGE2022 but i loved making fanart for Macy 🥰
Crop top Ian & Mickey in Ian's ROTC hat

15. What are your drawing strengths?
Faces, hair, blushing & colouring maybe?
16. What are your drawing weaknesses?
Poses, hands & backgrounds
17. What’s your favourite art piece you’ve drawn?
I would say my good omens au I simply adorethe little details I put into the drawing. I referenced Mickey's outfit in Ian's delete scene dream. Ian's outfit is 7x10 just in darker colours. I loved being able to create Ian's ombre eyes by colour picking Cameron's hazel ones. Ian's hair shading. The heart wings & being able to creat the wing texture on the angel wing. AND their signature shows with the timberland & bright read air forces!!! I had such a fun time drawing this 🥰 Also it was my 100,000 post lol
18. What is one thing you’d like to tell people about your art that they might not know?
My gallavich art is the first time I've been colouring my drawings. When I drew a lot in high school I would just do the line art & was too hesitant to colour them.
19. What inspires or motivates you to create for fandom?
Definitely you guys! Being able to make you guys smile. As well as your creations & the creating events 💕🖌
20. And finally, can you describe your process a little? Do you have a favourite place to draw? Do you play something in the background? Do you do research or just go for it? Give us a little insight.
I do like to crawl up into a hunched ball on the lounge couch or my bed (which should stop bad for posture lol) Then I do enjoy playing YouTube video essays about internet history/horror games I'd never play or movie reactions.
Also, I am more of an artist who researches & and works with many references. I got a whole lotta unclosed tabs of Ian & Mickey, body poses & clothes that i forgot to close lol.
So I’m not a fic writer yet! 😉 But here are the interviews questions if you guys wanna ❤️

What The Companions Say About... Mirelurks!
I'm posting these just because I find the companions in-game reactions to things rather interesting. You might be surprised by what some of them have to say about certain things.
These are just their dialogues for during combat and after combat or walking through areas inhabited by this enemy type. It does not include anything from specific areas, quests, or other dialogue.
⌨ Ada
⌨: If radiation hyper-evolved the horseshoe crab, I wonder how it's affected the rest of the ocean's inhabitants.
⌨: It's fascinating that the mirelurk's social order resembles a caste-like system.
⌨: Never aim for the mirelurk's shell… it's a waste of ammunition.
⌨: My olfactory sensors are catching the scent of rotten fish. Quite revolting for you, I'd imagine.
⌨: Gather all the mirelurk meat that you can, it's actually rather nutritious… if you can get past the slimy texture.
☘ Cait
Regular
☘: Crab feast!
☘: Concentrate fire on their soft spots!
Royal
☘: Holy shite, look at the size of that beast!
☘: 'Lurk King! Take 'em down!
☘: I've heard of gettin' crabs, but this is somethin' entirely different.
☘: All we need is some drawn butter and a squeeze of lemon, then we'll be all set.
☘: Damn 'lurks… this whole place stinks like the sea.
☘: Try and hit the 'lurks in their soft spots… don't waste your time shootin' at their shell.
☘: 'Lurks are the main reason you won't catch me skinny dippin' anytime soon.
⚙ Codsworth
Regular
⚙: {Neutral} Mirelurks, mum!
⚙: {Neutral} Crab cakes for dinner, mum?
⚙: {making a joke with bravado / Amused} Crab cakes for dinner, mum?
⚙: {thinking aloud} Mirelurks. Horrible creatures.
⚙: {making a terrible joke with bravado / Amused} Mirelurks are no stroll along the beach, eh mum? Haha.
⚙: {(with bravado) giving advice} When beset by mirelurks, clock 'em in the squishy spots.
⚙: {Concerned} Keep a look out for mirelurks, mum.
⚕ Curie
Regular
⚕: Even the crabs have mutated. Their carapace provided no resistance.
⚕: We must defeat these… mirelurks. For science.
⚕: Tissue samples may provide theories as to these mirelurks genesis.
⚕: These mirelurks, they were not in the Old World, right?
Royal
⚕: The mirelurk queen must play a vital role in their reproductive cycle.
⚕: It stands to reason that aquatic animals would succumb to the ravages of radiation.
⚕: Are mirelurk claws a great delicacy?
⚕: So their carapace did not protect their ancestors from mutation.
⚕: The aquatic ecosystem is worthy of study. The mirelurks' role in this, I am sure, is quite fascinating.
⚕: I hypothesise that the initial cause of many animal mutations was mankind's research. The mirelurk, for example.
♞ Danse
Regular
♞: Mirelurks! Take them down!
♞: Aim for their heads!
Royal
♞: King, huh? We'll see about that!
♞: Watch for their blasts!
♞: {Sarcasm} Mirelurks. What's next? Giant fish with sharp teeth?
♞: These creatures are one of the reasons why the Brotherhood travels by air and not by sea.
♞: {rhetorical} Is it just me, or do you smell the ocean whenever these things are around?
♞: I wonder if the Brotherhood could adapt the mirelurk's carapace for use as armoured plating.
♞: It's ludicrous to name their leaders "kings" and "queens." Mirelurks are nothing but disorganised rabble.
🕶 Deacon
Regular
🕶: Time for crab cakes.
🕶: Great. How many clips is it going to take to kill those things?
Royal
🕶: Oh no, it's a big one.
🕶: Just once I want radiation to turn something into a giant fluffy bunny instead of the Grand Poobah of all mirelurks. Hail.
🕶: I would've paid 50 caps to be with you the first time you saw one of the crabs. Must've thought you'd walked into a B movie.
🕶: I hate 'lurks. Piercing their shell is a bitch, let me tell you.
🕶: Hit the 'lurks in their soft spot, if you can. Then grab butter. Yum.
🕶: Can we just steer clear of the mirelurks next time? They chew through my ammo.
🕶: Because, you know, the world wasn't screwed enough. So sure, bring on the giant nearly indestructible crabs. That'll be good.
☠ Gage
Regular
☠: Try and hit the face!
☠: God I hate these stupid shells…
Royal
☠: You ain't king of shit!
☠: Nice fins, show-off!
☠: {SinisterSmile} You like crab? Me, never cared for it.
☠: {SinisterSmile} Ever wonder what it'd be like to have claws?… Me neither.
☠: {SinisterSmile} Mudcrabs sure do have a certain… odour to 'em, don't they?
☣ Hancock
Regular
☣: {Irritated} Come on, handsome. Show me that face.
☣: {Stern} Aim for the eyes!
Royal
☣: {Neutral} So long, your Majesty.
☣: {Stern} I'm your king now!
☣: {Neutral} You know what mirelurk shell doesn't protect against? Mines.
☣: {Neutral} Folks'll pay good money for 'lurk meat. Never a fan myself.
☣: {Neutral} Everywhere there's water, there's damn 'lurks.
☣: {Neutral} Keep an eye out for burrows. Mirelurks like their meals surprised.
☣: {Straightforward, changing to "I have seen some shit." / Neutral} I saw a mirelurk spawning once. Can't eat shellfish to this day.
☸ Longfellow
☸: {Sarcasm, punctuate with a laugh} Fightin' mirelurks always makes me hungry. Smell like seafood, all of 'em.
☸: {Grim} Seen a mirelurk's claw snap a man in half once.
☸: {Safe old hunter giving advice} Mirelurks are damn quick for their size. Wouldn't recommend tryin' to outrun one.
☸: {Safe old hunter giving advice} Fightin' mirelurks ain't complicated. Just like most critters, you aim for the soft bits.
⨁ MacCready
Regular
⨁: Mirelurk! Take it out!
⨁: Shoot for its head!
Royal
⨁: Time for some regicide!
⨁: Heads up! Mirelurk king!
⨁: Okay, I've officially lost my appetite for seafood.
⨁: Some people eat mirelurk meat, but I never got used to the taste.
⨁: If there was ever a sign that nature's pissed at us, this is it.
⨁: You're going to need some high velocity ammo if you want to punch through mirelurk armour.
⨁: Hope you brought a mallet and bib with you.
♥ Nick
Regular
♥: {Stern} Watch it. Lurks on the loose.
♥: {Neutral} Don't fire until you see the whites of their eyestalks.
Royal
♥: {Confident} There's a new king in town.
♥: {Neutral} Careful. These kings like to serenade their supper.
♥: {Neutral} You see any burrows around? Mirelurks usually like to scare the hell out of their prey before eating them…
♥: {Neutral} If you're really looking to tick off a mirelurk, fiddle with its eggs.
♥: {Neutral} And this is why I don't swim.
♥: {Neutral} Anywhere there's water, there's mirelurks.
✉ Piper
Regular
✉: {Irritated} Come on, lurk. Show us that underbelly.
✉: {Stern} If you like your limbs, I'd keep my distance.
Royal
✉: {Neutral} Careful. These things know how to wail.
✉: {Stern} So long, your Highness.
✉: {Neutral} You can make a pretty penny selling mirelurk eggs, so long as you're not too attached to your fingers.
✉: {Neutral} I wouldn't stick a toe in water for years because of these things.
✉: {Conspiratorial} The secret to dealing with mirelurks? Mines.
✉: {Neutral} With the right spices, mirelurk meat can taste just like an old shoe.
✉: {Neutral} You know what fact never fails to give me chills when it comes to mirelurks? The world? Seventy percent water.
☀ Preston
Regular
☀: Mirelurks. Aim for the face.
☀: Let's see how your shell stands up to this.
Royal
☀: It's one of the big ones.
☀: Damn, look at the size of that thing.
☀: Keep an eye out. 'Lurks could be hiding anywhere around here.
☀: Mirelurk meat is pretty tasty, if you don't mind the smell.
☀: Damn, I hate these things.
☀: Remember, you're just wasting ammo shooting at a 'lurk's shell. The soft underbelly's what you want to aim for.
☀: I hope you like seafood.
☢ Strong
☢: Mirelurks.
☢: Mirelurks smell fishy. Strong hate fishy.
☢: Smash mirelurk face. It softest part.
☢: Mirelurks smell bad but taste good.
☢: Strong smash mirelurks.
☾ X6-88
☾: {Concerned} I've seen a mirelurk crush a cement block like it was nothing.
☾: You want to keep a mirelurk at range, ma'am. Fire, fall back and repeat.
☾: Mirelurks are slower on land. That's where you want to fight them.
☾: Mirelurk shells are as hard as rock. Aim for the eyes, or between the plates.
☾: {Disgust} We're going to smell like seafood for a week.
-----
My Notes:
Codsworth makes the same joke both when entering combat and exploring a spawn area.
Curie thinks humans may have played a part in the creation of Mirelurks, and not just natural radiation exposure - that said, it could be alluding to the additional polution of FEV from the bombs and sites hit by them, not that Curie has any knowledge of that though.
Danse really hates mirelurks, and probably everything that might come out of the ocean. No wonder he was so glad to join the BoS and get out of Rivet City. Don't take him to a beach, he'll be sour and on alert the whole time.
Deacon also no likey the big crabs. Except for eating. Bring him it pre-killed.
Gage calling them mudcrabs is cute.
Hancock is scarred. Man's seen some shit.
Guess it's good Mac doesn't have a taste for crab, seeing as fish gives him gas.
Pretty sure crabs have black eyes, so... Guess Nick doesn't want us to shoot them at all😂
Piper will eat mole rat meat, something most seem to hate, but thinks Mirelurk is bad? Guess she wouldn't fancy a trip to Fah Hahbah.
Mirelurks smell bad, but taste good.

wow those are really interesting! The smell one almost reminds me of synesthesia, or a olfactory hallucination. For the first one, like a signal in the brain getting tied to a different signal. a floral smell for them sounds so sweet. they feel comforting to me like floral.
the vessel figure is wild. the fact that you saw a hooded figure with his mouth exposed. I know there's kinda archetypal figures people tend to see in various brain things, like dreams, or drug trips, or I'd expect its the same with migraine auras. A general cloaked figure sounds universal enough, but one with a mouth exposed is so specific.
it's SO interesting that you mention ADHD though because almost every single Sleep Token fan I've talked to is neurodivergent or could plausibly be. Specifically autism or ADHD. Could just be that we all hyperfixate, and that makes us superfans of things we love. But idk it feels special, like we're drawn to it. I have ADHD myself.
another commonality is sleep problems, odly enough. and finding Sleep Token calming and helping one sleep.
For my opinion on witchy stuff, I'm not an expert or anything I know little bits. Like how their logo is a combination of Germanic runes that invoke certain things. There was an old since deleted post by then about it, so it's basically confirmed. Or I heard that the runes corresponding to the Sundowning songs could theoretically be invoked every time the song is played.
also the music just feels magical??
Every person seems to have a different interpretation of the lore and the overarching story, if there is any. Many of them seem to be about love or romance in some way.
My pet headcannon/theory is that Vessel is looking for his soulmate who he knew in a past life. and the runes and any magic is for that purpose.
(First Ask)!!!!!!! Yes!!
Ok I agree with like a lot of your points in this ask, just to say that off the bat, but it’s me so I’m gonna get into it lmao:
So the thing is, I Do Actually have synesthesia, But I Do Not Have Smell/Sound, I have texture/Taste!! So that’s the weird thing about it! It is actually pretty comforting?? I’m trying to figure out what scent it actually, cause it’s just really nice. It might be a perfume that I’ve smelled in the past and started associating it with them (in which cause I think it might be floral marshmallow which is a dupe for some high end perfume). But like I said if it’s ends up being forget-me-nots (which I don’t think so) I’m gonna freak out. But they have a very light scent and I can’t find them anywhere😵💫
That’s the weird thing about all of it tho, is that it very well could be all of the things that I have already (migraines, adhd, synesthesia) but it’s like it’s different symptoms that I’ve Never had before??
Like the hooded figure wouldn’t be that big of a deal, but I never see figures!! I only see green and purple flashing splotches, even in my Worst Migraine I’ve Ever had, where I completely Lost My Vision, I only say neon purple and green. So too see, specifically, Hooded Man With Mouth, while listening to The Summoning?? Weird.
And yeah, I have adhd, and honestly?? Yeah. I think it is all of us nero-spicy gals and bois finding a band that itches the static in our brains, lol. They really combine a lot of nerodivergent peoples favorite genres, metal, dark techno/house, lo-fi, piano, rap and sometimes even something that sounds jazzy. It’s legit like they took every music thing I love and shoved it into one, of course my/all of our adhd brains is gonna eat that shit up lmao. It feels really special tho.
Also, yeah I have hella sleeping issues, but I have yet to let myself listen to them while going to sleep (mostly cause I know once I start I won’t be able to go back) BUT!! I have never been a person who can meditate, and I was able to while listening to them!! So that’s a thing lol.
I’m not a big expert on ruins either, but I know most witchcraft is putting your intentions in something. So if he put heavy intentions into the ruins when he first drew them, then yeah it’s doing something. I did vaguely know something about the main logo/ruin, but not much. (I actually don’t know What it’s supposed to invoke?? Just thinking about Sleep/Sleep Token?? Lol) but I think it’s Really Cool that they use real runes sometimes, cause even if they aren’t for magic purposes, just aesthetics, they are still using an old language for something new and I always like stuff like that lmao.
And I love your little headcanon at the end that’s so sweet.
#very much so#sleep token#hi hi!!!#frothingmaw#oops I forgot to tag you in the last ask I’ll go do that in a little while#but yes so much interesting stuff!!#thanks for the ask sorry I got to it late I had a long day yesterday and I just played hollow knight all evening lol.#sorry if anything I said doesn’t make sense and sorry if I’m forgetting anything oop

[2022 Nov.] - Redrew different Souls for a week long art prompt challenge, each in a different colored pen
Prompts: Nocturnal, Wind, Secret, Mask, Float, Shadow, Treasure
---
(obligatory lore dumping below, most of them just copypasted from when I made them)
Nocturnal: This Soul is a werewolf after his turning went wrong and he decides to stay over at Maka's place after finding himself not having changed back the next morning.
Not sure if I'll ever get around to writing his story but this is related to one of the scenes.
Wind: Stormy Soul was actually created from a past October prompt a couple years back, and I couldn't help but think of him drifting carefree through the breeze haha
He's made of clouds, condensed water, and lightning that can appear more like wings as he moves around - Just a little storm cloud floating here or there for a fun time.
Secret: Some say that if you typo Soul's name hard enough you can summon this variant, an eldritch entity of some sort that really likes bread and really loves sandwiches (PBJs seem to be a particular favourite).
Quite a mysterious little guy; Sometimes the gestures get lost in translation but communication is often done through words visibly appearing over its head (there's debates over whether this is some form of stardust condensation or simply light manipulation), which range anywhere between cryptic advice or its desire for more sammies (no one actually knows how they can eat so many despite being nearly as big as one).
I was gonna draw the human companion buddy and designated sammie creator variant Soul the Secrets Seeker but this pen is rather weak and difficult to use, so at least have the trivia that this guy feels something like soft fluffy dough or a plush toy depending on how your brain can process them haha
Mask: This Soul variant was originally for a past October prompt of "Disgusting" (a self-proclaimed title), and was thought to have died before he mysteriously vanished from the autopsy room. He spent a while hiding away from everyone until eventually making slow anonymous contact with Maka, who finally brought him home after seeking him out directly.
Since then he's been making a steady good recovery even if his anatomy and stabilizing blood pressure makes being upright difficult, though he now wears a mask to hide his still reforming face.
Float: These two were for this prompt of a past October, though it was changed when I was dissatisfied with it (left was moved to Ominous, and right does not currently have a nickname but did come back from being scrapped entirely). The actual Float Soul is basically a Flying type Floatzel (get it?) but I've never drawn concept art, so take these two past nickname iterations.
Note: Not to scale, left being around half human height and right being able to fit in your hands (if he isn't nibbling on them).
Shadow: I could've drawn the Soul who is actually a shadow but the textures for this were too tempting haha
This variant was actually originally made as a standing papercraft and might actually canonically be that way (yeah I was inspired by Super Paper Mario hah) but it's been too long for me to fully remember, other than he has another form that looks more human that also lacks any art.
Treasure: This dragon Soul is said to be guarding a rare and unusual treasure all by his lonesome, though others think that perhaps maybe the thing he is truly coveting is the return of someone he's waiting for...

Hope you are having a good day! What has been your favourite piece of treasure you've found?
Goofing around and throwing grapes up in the air and attempting to catch them while rocking in his chair while a new masked patron gave him a new questionnaire. He'd fall suddenly too far back and take a bump but, still manage to get the grape despite overestimating the throwing heights that led to an event.
He dusted himself upward acting all cool like nothing had happened. Teasing his grape before swallowing and given proper focus to what was asked.
"Look around. What do ye see?" To the perspective of many, anyone who peered around this establishment saw a whole lot of cobwebs, dust, nothing but clutter, messiness, barely managing the upkeep, towards the hours untraveled here, this place unequivocally sucked.
"My dear, matey I've acquired hoards of glory, wealth t' envy lifetimes, they're all former charted, many of those ambitions led to my demise, pieces of me torn, ripped off my very flesh to the bone, if I didn't hold these scars, I'd be another adventurer confessing he's the next herald Warrior of Light, flawless, perfect. But I acquired these things and they were taken, snatched, cut and severed them from me, until I was left with nothing..."
He stood up from his place went to the ends of the room grabbed a mop and bucket and began cleaning. "Everything has a function; a story, they've got some property that is unique to them, in nothing; I learned everything. All around you is my treasure. Everything ever made, things that don't breathe, things that do, they're all worthy of my time t' savor and favor. What is DRAWN and ATTAINABLE to you, not what you always have to chase, this is what matters..." He was making his new philosophical answer known.
"Look at a mop like this a water-filled bucket, think to yourself, there's many other solutions t' clean, rather pick the thing that does it the most effectively. What if you don't have access to it? What if poverty prevents you? You rather chase after the thing you don't have yet, before you clean? Or would you take the thing that's in your reach? Surrounding. Five Summers ago, would've ran after what's out of reach. ...Now, I embrace what is all before me." He'd part from his point, and place his strong arm's on the table.
Looking deeply for the eyes of the traveler with a longing interest. "Favorite treasures t' me, are stories, not yet known or given Title. All things are unique, shine differently, have a few more chips in their wood, texture, colors, they've got one extra string on them, they have something NO other has, and that..." Breaking momentarily.
A sultry very whorish lust-filled pitch came out of him as he leaned inward, "O' I want t' know that, I want that name, t' flavor from tip ov' this feline tongue. -- Formerly, my reach, couldn't touch the stars, nor the Moon, I couldn't grasp the globe ov this world... I saw everything to large, but in truth... I never conceived my hands big enough. How you perceive, is what determines. This world is so, very tiny, it's small, everything in it, if you -WILL- it, is all attainable to know, but you've got to become the reach, you've got t' travel for it. I'm a gluttonous, pirate ov' old, greedy by all design, a lusty lad that hailed from the whore capital of Ul'dah's Pearl Lanes." He'd settle down on his seat, composing himself with the brim of his trademarked hat covering his golden-orbs, he'd pull back it and let them show.
"My ultimate treasure is sight to know th' true."
(As always appreciate you shade, I'm straight chilling upon this day, 😎 prepping up for creative anarchy. This always aids to get the mind flowing. His perspective and stance has changed tremendously. He's taking everything in from the smallest waves, the tiniest breathes of air the wind produces, it makes him hold lifetimes. Anymore this realm is way too small for him if only there was multiple shards.... He's got confidence of himself again but also newfound control, before you can really be a proper lead, you should know the destination before guiding, he's Captained himself. The grandest grail is mastery of ourselves, perception is EVERYTHING. And he's got it unlocked. He lost this ability to traverse taverns, talk to people, get questions, you take someone away from something they fond for long enough, they often don't mistake it ever again, especially if they truly love it.)
#asks answered#IC#Last ask from inbox#We still do more if spoiled but if not I chillin'#Thanks for sending :)

I was going through a game and found myself really hating a quest chain and that gave me a few thoughts about cameras.
The camera in a game should tell the player the proper amount for the situation. I mean, that's kind of a tautology, because that's what "should" means. But what "the proper amount" is will change from game to game and often changes within the course of one game.
Spooky games are a good example, because they're interested in creating tension and limiting the sense of power, so they don't default to "the most information as we can reasonably deliver" the way many games do. They might make a blind corner to support a jumpscare, constrain the field of view with dark or fog to keep you from safely picking off distant monsters with your gun, or just have the walls closing in around you to reflect the paranoia the character is feeling.
Outside of that, there's also an understanding of field of view as an abstraction that reflects the way we're sensing things exclusively with our eyes and ears, and on a 2D screen (and often with a 2D sound system), that are meant to reflect 3D space and all the senses. So in a 3rd-person 3/4 top-down view we don't occlude everything the character isn't looking at, for instance. Often games let us see what's on the opposite side of trees or rocks when our character definitely couldn't, and many tactical games don't bother hiding any unit on the entire map if they don't have an explicit "hidden" status, as a reflection of either our intelligence reports or our unit's senses in battle.
Obviously also some of this isn't for artistic reasons; It's far easier to make a camera that just looks at everything than one that changes what parts of the scene get drawn for the player based on the movement of the character's head, all in real time.
But what I've found is that tight corridors aren't well-suited to most games. Beat-em-ups almost never have a floor smaller than 30' wide, even the ones ostensibly taking place in office hallways. The slim (and also cluttered; easily half the problem) hallways and caves of City of Heroes' underground zones are universally despised by the community. Part of what's going on is how it constrains your field of vision and viable angles of vision (basically, where they can reasonably place the camera in order to not be looking through a texture). Other issues are how the clutter makes your character stop, or move in weird angles, and how the small area can get the monsters to pack in tightly - potentially good for people with strong AoE but also frustrating for picking a specific target out of the mess; You're usually stuck tab-attacking. (CoH is a tab-targeting game, so you press tab to jump to the next target in your field of vision. Lieutenants are stronger than minions but still vulnerable to crowd control effects like being confused or frozen solid, so you generally want to focus those abilities on them. This means you press tab a bunch of times until you get a lieutenant, mid-combat. Trying to find them in the bedlam using your mouse is almost never worth it, even in wider-open combats)

Labmas AU - Unintended Consequences
Chapter 6 Part 2 - Agreement
It was evening when you heard a light knocking on your door. It must be Nobori. You had become worried he wouldn't show, or that Alvis hadn't bothered to tell him to come. Jumping up, you turn off your phone and place it on the table. Rushing to the door and opening it, you're greeted with Nobori's back.
He begins talking while facing the wall, "Hello, (Y/N). I apologize for coming so late. It was a shock when Mr. Alvis came to inform me you had requested my presence. He sounded terrified to be speaking to me. I must admit, I've never been invited inside anyone's personal quarters before, barring Kudari's of course."
"Really? Well, don't be nervous, I just wanted to thank you." Stepping aside to make room for him to enter, he doesn't move. "Um, you can turn around and come in now." You say this lightly, so it won't come across as a demand.
"Yes, well… do you remember when I told you how I was able to hide my hybrid features? I'm not hiding them at this time, and I don't want to startle you." He spoke quietly when saying this.
You hadn't anticipated getting to see such an intimate side of him tonight, but console him, "It's no problem at all. Would you like me to close my eyes until you're ready?"
"…Yes, I think I would appreciate that," Came his soft voice.
"Okay, I'll close my eyes now." A moment after closing them, you feel him pass by, so you shut the door. Turning, you slowly walk to the couch, arms outstretched so you won't hit anything. Nobori grabs your wrist and helps guide you. After you sit down you say, "Let me know when you're ready for me to open them." The couch shifts, indicating he has sat next to you.
"A-all right. You may open your eyes," He murmurs. Slowly opening them, your attention is drawn to the soft, yellow glow of his eyes and the impossibly black pigmentation encircling them. If you had opened the door to him facing you, they would have been the first thing you saw in the dim hallway. He wore a nervous expression, eyes wide and mouth slightly open. His skin was a light lavender color. You could definitely see the Chandelure in him. He wasn't wearing his trench coat, substituting it for a turtleneck. Or perhaps he always wore that under his coat. Also absent were his gloves. You reached your hand out towards his, but stopped to ask permission, "May I touch your hand?"
"You may." He whispered it so softly, you wondered if you imagined it.
Continuing on your mission, you grab his hand and lift it closer so you can get a better look. It has the same lavender color as his face, but other than that, it feels like a normal hand. No change in temperature or texture. Lowering his hand, your fingers reach up and brush the rim of his hat, looking to him for approval. After a nod, you remove it. His hair was receding and the same silver color as his sideburns and goatee. Placing the cap back on his head, you felt your curiosity was satiated. You decided to ask the question that had popped in your head when first seeing his true visage. "How is it you make yourself look…"
"Like a normal person?" He finishes the question for you, looking down as he explains, "Lots of makeup. It's quite tricky to apply enough to cover the black rings. Definitely a learning curve. Scleral contact lenses cover most of the glow my eyes give off. I never wear short sleeves, so my arms are always out of view. As are my hands when I wear gloves."
Thinking of all the effort he must put in for something that was so easy for others, you realize he must not expose many people to how he looks. Feeling strangely honored for getting to see it, you recognize his courage in revealing himself to you. "Thank you for showing me the real you. I know you didn't have to. Sorry if it made you uncomfortable."
He looks back to you, speaking assuredly, "Not at all. I was more worried I would upset you with my appearance."
"Well, you shouldn't worry so much. I think you're quite handsome." You tell him with a smile, hoping he will see your sincerity. His face becomes a darker shade of purple, so you decide to save him from further embarrassment by changing the subject. "I'm glad you came. When I was at the lockers today, Colress didn't mention that I locked my badge in there yesterday. I know for a fact he wouldn't have let me live it down had he known. So, thank you for not telling him."
"It was nothing. You were very stressed and it was not pertinent information to the subject we were discussing." He starts playing with his goatee. It must be a habit of his, you note.
With how often he and Colress talk, it seems Nobori is in a high position within Team Plasma, at least in the laboratory. Being given access to the whole lab, and even Kudari. "If you don't mind my asking, what exactly do you do for Colress?" You couldn't help your curiosity.
"I don't do much, really. Dr. Colress only calls on me when there is need. My work is done outside of Plasma headquarters. I assure there aren't any negative optics arising for Team Plasma and prevent inconveniences from happening. It would probably be more factual to say that my real job is caring for Kudari." Pausing as if he just remembered something, he continues, "On the topic of Dr. Colress, I should be returning to my room. Though I have only been here a short while, If he discovers I left, he will be quite displeased with me."
"Wait, does he seriously make you stay in your room when you're not working?" You were horrified at the implication.
"It's not that I'm not normally allowed to leave my room, I would just rather not make the others who work here uneasy. However, I'm afraid Dr. Colress is upset that I let Kudari out the other day, and has told me not to leave my room as a form of punishment. He feels Kudari is a danger and doesn't like him to be let out unless someone is watching him, which rarely happens now." There was a hint of sadness in his voice. Nobori stands from the couch and looks down to you. "Thank you for inviting me over. It was an exhilarating experience in the daily monotony of my life."
Standing up as well, you remember the other topic you wanted to discuss with him. "It was no problem, really. But, before you go, I have a request as well." Nobori straightens his back. "Colress told me you can more or less 'hypnotize' people. And, though I appreciate that you were trying to calm me down, can you… not do that again? What I feel may not always be pleasant, but they're my feelings to endure." You hope you explained it to him adequately, without sounding as if he did something wrong.
He gives you a shocked expression, before apologizing, "Forgive me, I thought I was helping you. I did not realize it would disturb you so." Nobori looks distraught. "I will be sure not to do so again from here on out, unless you ask." He bows his head in repentance.
"Hey, don't feel too bad about it. You couldn't have known it would bother me." You place a finger under his chin to softly lift his head back up. "Honestly, last night was the best sleep I ever had!" You give him a big grin. His face becomes deep purple again as you continue, "Alright, I'll let you go. Take care of yourself. Don't take this the wrong way, I know you respect him, but Colress can come across as extremely passive aggressive. Try not to let him put you down."
His mood immediately lifts. "I know exactly what you mean. He's definitely an… acquired taste." Smiling once more, he tips his hat, "Have sweet dreams, (Y/N). I'm sure I'll see you around." He turns and lets himself out, giving you one last glance before he's gone.
Alone again, you were smiling like a fool. Was something happening? You were much too busy attempting to navigate Colress and your work situation for anything to be happening. It's probably just nerves. You hope it's just nerves. Still, you consider Nobori to be extremely handsome. Which didn't mean anything. So was Colress, but he was an ass. Whereas Nobori was gentle and sweet. It would be best for you to get some sleep and stop thinking for the night. Only bad things can come from thinking so much. You decided to just concentrate on your breathing and what tomorrow would be like. Definitely not looking forward to potentially running into Nobori.

So if I've scheduled this correctly, this should go out a short ways into the stream where the model I'm going to talk about here is debuted. I'm absolutely a novice both in art and in animating and vtubing, but this seemed like a good place to share some thoughts about it.
Before I get into any of it, there are two major steps in making one of these: The model and the rig. And that is already a gross oversimplification. People have already made plenty of tutorials and such about how to make these, no point going into that. But suffice to say I made a few mistakes and learned from them.
Building the model for rigging wasn't actually that difficult in comparison to my regular artwork. Especially as a front on, which I already had some experience in. But the piece was more...complete, for want of a better word. All the things, even parts I wasn't expecting to ever see, were drawn just in case I had miscalculated how far things would flex. And I did miscalculate! Lots of bits of leg showed in ways I didn't intend, and I still never quite got the tail worked out how I wanted.
The textures were I think the biggest hurdle I ran into. I knew that using the free version of Live2D I would be limited by the texture size, parameters, deformers etc, but I completely overestimated what that meant. The wings! They took up so much space on the limited texture map - somehow I hadn't thought about how much texture data they'd occupy. Actually fitting the texture map properly involved a lot of compromises - deciding which textures I could afford to run at lower quality and which ones (the facial features and front-face pieces mostly) needed to be at their best resolution. My time learning game development actually helped here - you can fit a lot more into a texture map than an automatic texture map will give you, so it just took some wiggling to make something I was pleased with.
This also wasn't...really my first attempt. Just the first one that worked. My first attempt at this model didn't have a proper file structure, I didn't fully understand why there were eight brow parameters, or how to organise deformers. I worked at that for two weeks on and off and in the end was left with a clunky mess that I scrapped and restarted this week. In much less time things were much more complete and actually culminated in the results here. Things moved properly, and bounced right~
Well, right enough. Another limitation I had to work around was the parameter limit on free Live2D. That came down to seeing which parameters I could ignore (not many). The wings taking up so much space was a problem...so I needed a parameter to toggle their opacity, and that inadvertently taught me about how vtubers with more advanced movement made limbs work the way they do. And this model still doesn't quite work the way intended - I had to compromise when warping certain objects because they warped in...unexpected ways.
But regardless of all that, with the amount of movement and detail I put into this one, it was always going to be an upgrade to my PNG. PNGs are perfectly acceptable and there are some vtubers with some incredible talent who make PNGs that are more expressive in the ways they want than could be achieved in 3D or Live2D. My PNG though...it was one of the first things I did and it suffered for it. And given that I wanted to learn this in the first place...well, it seemed more productive a task to work on this than making just the PNG poses.
If you're just here for thicker than a snicker that's fine, I know how I've designed my look. But I wanted to ramble about things for a bit.

i know you probably get a lot of kazuha requests but i really hope this form of manifestation works lol.
lately, i've been just thinking of either a guardian angel!kazuha or kitsune!kazuha. idk just being protected by him against all odds makes the adventure-obsessed side of me feel happy lol. unless you have already covered this topic could you possibly do headcanons please? over either one you are comfortable with!!
WAIT THIS CAME TO ME!! imagine angel!kazuha coming to the realization of why other angels fell while trying to admit to himself that he doesn't love the reader cause they are a human. idk that was something that came to me.
anyways now that that is over lol could you provide any headcanons or explore the scenario i had above please? wherever your heart takes you i won't be upset!! have a nice day/night!!
#there for you
CHARACTERS. Kazuha as Kitsune & Guardian Angel
NOTES. for this one i’ll be doing both because i’m in the mood to do both and i feel like either fits him<33 totally love this request thank you nonnie!
DO YOU LIKE MY CONTENT? SEND ME A TIP HERE!
KITSUNE!KAZUHA
Kitsune!Kazuha has seven tails, definitely. Not too wise, not too bad. Quite mysterious and sharp, smart, even. His element is either the Wind or Sound, but he himself confirmed that he merely has good ears though his element remains as the Wind.
Many people do not trust him, especially when they hear he’s from Inazuma. Why would a Kitsune like him find himself in Liyue? Additionally, Kitsunes are known to be manipulative, cunning, and maybe more unspeakable things like possessing someone else. No one truly knows what they’re capable of—at least, in other regions, they’re only known through whispers and rumors, though surely they’re mostly unwelcomed.
So when you, someone who was born and raised in Liyue, came and treated him differently, he swore to himself that he’ll protect you, that no harm or bad luck shall come to you
He’s very witty, and would actually be clingy in a way that no usual Kitsune’s would, especially if the others detest him. He’s seen as a piece of bad luck or omen by those who had seen and recognized his ears, what more if they see his tails? Of course, he had hidden them from mortal sight aside from his ears.
Although if you ask him, he’ll gladly show them to you! Since you’re one of the rare few who he deems as trustworthy, he’d gladly taunt his kitsune appearance on you.
His chuckle resonates in the room, plum eyes concentrating on yours as he carefully stands on his feet. There came a golden glow that his body momentarily emitted before his form changed into one of a large fox; its fur’s hue similar to his human form’s hair, a beautifully drawn single red stripe decorating its texture.
Your breath was taken away whilst the fox slowly walked its way to you, your body tensed before its nose carefully nudged your hand. You soon traced your palm on the bridge of its face, easing them on its ears.
Usually, the Kitsune’s don’t reveal themselves before asking someone they love to marry them but for him, he thinks that it is only proper that he must tell you who he is first, already having a certain amount of trust that you’ll never abuse it.
A random fact, you found out that Kitsune’s likes fried tofu but after some time, he seems to have taken a liking to meals with fish.
Kitsune’s don’t really fall in love with humans—it’s quite of a rare occurrence, but they do get attached if the human is kind to them and they deem them worthy of their love and affection
For him, he knew what he was doing and he was confident that he would win your heart in the end, however, he’s also one of those who would accept his loss if you don’t love him back—but he’s not going to lose easily.
GUARDIAN ANGEL!KAZUHA
Guardian Angel!Kazuha is quite of a different nature.
He has the wits and the capability to guide you in the way of life and not just to survive. He knew you from the inside and out, knew what you'd decide before you could even act, knew what you’d feel before you could show it in your face. And with those, he admired you.
It’s rare to have a guardian angel and for them to stay with you for you to know them. When you met him, he knew it would be difficult to part with you, but he didn’t expect that he’d garner romantic feelings for you.
Actually, guardian angels are meant to be so pure and powerful that they do not need love from humans, and they are content with what they have as well. They merely want to guide mortals in their life as a form of love, that’s it.
And if that love forms into something more—to desire for more, then they’ve fallen into their impending doom.
When he realized what was happening to him, he immediately tried to get away from you. With your guardian angel gone, he knew it would also be your downfall, and even so, he tried to ignore you.
And it was not even long that he couldn’t handle it and decided to go back, leading you back on your path from the various bad luck that had seemingly occurred to you in the course of the days.
“I know you’re there.”
He stops in his tracks when he hears your voice, dripping in a tone that he rarely heard before—one that only resided in your hushed whispers and silent mutters—sadness.
Now that he had come to realize it, you always wore a smile, never showed sadness while he was there with you, guiding you upon the path that was meant for you—one that you wished for yourself, a calling from deep inside of your very soul.
He wasn’t supposed to feel pain, but for his chest to tighten up at the sound of your voice and to look back at where you were, he finds himself conflicted beyond any other time of his lifetime. This is not the way of an angel. Succumbing to romantic love would only be his downfall, but a single look from you is all it took for him to accept all the consequences and embrace you with his presence. He hoped it was enough, for now. He was still conflicted, but for now, he wants you to feel his presence, he was still there.
And for some reason, he couldn’t let go.
