Light in the Window
Jasonette July prompt 10: light
Jasonette July
My masterlist
Marinette jumped as there was a crash outside her window. She cursed loudly as she realized she ended up with a long, jagged line of stitching going off the wrong direction. At least she had just started this part and it would be on the inside so no one would see the mishap. She glanced over at the window. It had gone very silent but the crash was too loud for it to have been something that would have crept away without her hearing it.
She supposed she could use a stretch anyway. It wouldn’t do to not check out something hitting her window at this hour in Gotham. Too many possible things to go wrong. She didn’t want to test her luck against the City of Crime. But test it she had apparently, she thought with a sigh as she looked through the curtains.
She pried the window open to check and see if the form outside her window was breathing. She didn’t know all the characters that ran around on the rooftops in this city. They seemed to have a full cast of rotating characters. It was basically a vigilante soap opera. Too many of them used red as a main color. Perhaps it was inspired by Deadpool. They couldn’t show weakness so they had to camouflage the blood from any injuries.
The man moved and groaned slightly as his arm flopped off her window as she pushed it up. He jolted when his hand landed on his chest. She sucked in a breath as he went from laying there appearing dead to shooting his hand out to grasp her wrist in a death grip instantaneously. She backed away and started what would have been a surprised squeal if his hand hadn't covered her mouth muffling any noise she would have produced. He slipped through the window and closed it and curtain in a quick motion. He pushed her against the wall with his hand that was still covering her mouth. He made a quiet shushing noise before removing his hand and then walked over and turned off her light leaving her apartment in total darkness.
Marinette should have looked for a pamphlet or guide to the rooftop cast. It was something she had thought about but hadn’t done yet because she had hardly left since moving in. She had supplies and groceries delivered and there was a trash chute in the hallway. She hadn’t needed much yet and had a lot of work to do. Learning about the outside world here was not that high up on her to do list. She would have to hope that since he hadn’t already attacked that he would not find cause to do so.
She could have done a better job decluttering her pile of boxes that she hadn’t unpacked. She realized this as she tripped on a stack and then nearly fell over another. She hadn’t realized how close he had left her to the hazard. But before she tumbled all the way to the ground he had caught her mid fall and pulled her off her feet. She was awkwardly against his chest and thrashing until he set her down somewhere else. He moved her hand to the counter so she could tell that he had put her down in the kitchen. He must have some sort of night vision in his helmet.
“Do you have a light in here?" he asked.
“There is a switch by the fridge.”
A brief shuffle of feet and a flick and the soft glow of the kitchen light brought them out of darkness. Marinette still wasn’t sure what to say. He seemed to be moving around a bit, possibly checking for injuries. Now that there was enough light to see, she could see that he had guns on him. So, probably not one of the less dangerous ones. She didn’t think they used guns much. He righted himself a moment later, she could tell he was still on high alert and looking around her apartment. She moved herself closer to her abandoned place setting from earlier and tried to pick the quickest route to the door just in case she needed to escape.
“So, umm, who are you?” Marinette tried to sound casual.
She, of course, couldn't see his expression when he turned his head to look at her, but she imagined it was a quizzical expression on his face. Probably most Gothamites, native or otherwise had a good idea of most of the players around. Maybe he was one of the main characters and was offended that she didn’t know him.
“Are you new here?” he asked.
“Yes, not quite as new as you seem to be right here in my apartment. But I moved here recently.” she paused, not able to help a bit of snark in her current state. “The packed boxes are not just my choice of decor.”
She was glad to hear what she thought might have been a chuckle under his helmet.
“Most would probably tell you to leave them packed and just leave.”
“Everyone I know told me not to come at all, but my work is here.”
“Guess you can’t fault that.”
“So you aren’t offering a name, but you also don’t seem to be heading out. I was making some tea. Do you want some?”
“That sounds really nice. I would love some. Since you are so graciously offering your hospitality.”
“That’s one way to put it.”
She turned away to start the water and went about getting some snacks while waiting for the kettle to boil. He seemed to have no issue helping himself to whatever she had put out after removing his helmet to reveal a lensed mask beneath it. She ended up having to go in search of additional offerings because she hadn’t considered how much the man would eat. She pulled out noodle bowls she had made ahead to have easy food for herself and offered him one. It was simple to do with the kettle already freshly boiled.
She turned back around and slapped his hand away from the last macaron. Then gasped in shock when she realized what she had done. She still had no idea who he was. He laughed at her again before he picked up the macaron anyway. But instead of eating it he walked around to where she was sitting and lifted it up to her mouth. Marinette blushed as she took a small bite of it. He must have still been laughing at her because he leaned his face close to hers before he put the remainder in his own mouth.
“These are very good. I couldn’t just let you have the last one.”
“It's fine,” she said, her cheeks still burning. “I was due to make more soon anyway.”
“You made them? It is definitely settled, I will have to come back for more.”
“I don’t even know why you came here now. Unless you just didn’t have any food and needed some of mine.”
“I followed the light. I needed to lose someone following me.”
“Are you in danger?"
Her unasked question was whether or not he had put her in danger. He carried his tea and bowl of noodles and sprawled out on her couch before answering.
"They will have moved on tonight or will soon. I'm relatively certain no one saw where I went."
She set her own food on a tv tray and sat down on the other side of the couch. She was trying to pretend that this was all perfectly normal. She went about setting her food and tea up how she liked in silence. She didn't know what to say and he was content to remain silent. She could feel him watching her but she didn't want to turn and make eye contact with his mask lenses.
“Tell me about yourself.” He said breaking the silence.
“There isn’t much to tell. I moved here to expand my client base.”
“Where did you come from?”
“Originally I’m from France but after fashion school I took a semester in New York to get additional skills and help with understanding the language.”
“Fashion?” He raised his eyebrow at her.
“Not everyone can be as confident as you and run around the rooftops every night in an outfit that looks like that.”
He leaned close to her when she said that. She was pretty sure he was trying to intimidate her but she had to bite her lip to keep from laughing. Apparently her could tell though.
“Are you laughing at me?” she shook her head and bit her lip harder. “I like you. You either take no shit or you have no self preservation.”
“You have been here for a bit and you seem to have developed a vested interest in keeping me alive.”
“Did you not notice that I am carrying guns? I’m very good at using them.”
“I did. But you also ate all my food and decided you want to come back for more of my macarons.”
“I could get cookies anywhere. I’m a crime lord. I get whatever I want.”
“You probably won’t get better than someone who grew up in a French patisserie. But maybe that doesn’t matter if you are a crime lord resorting to hiding out in the apartment of a lowly fashion designer.”
“I like this. I don’t get a lot of people willing to talk to me like this.”
“Maybe its just because I don’t know who you are.”
“Could be. But I think you just can’t help yourself.”
He stood up and began walking around her apartment looking around. He spent a couple minutes looking at her designs in progress and then picked up her sketchbook. He held it up silently and she nodded, giving him permission to look in the book. When he got to a blank page he doodled a little picture and then closed the book without showing her. He looked back out the window and seemed to come to a decision.
“Thanks for the shelter and the hospitality. I guess I never got your name.”
“I didn’t get yours either.”
“I’m the Red Hood.”
Her eyes widened slightly. He chuckled. “So you have heard of me then.”
“I’m Marinette,” she said while nodding.
He walked up to her and brushed her hair from her face gently.
“I hope to see you soon Marinette. Its been a refreshing experience.”
With that he put his helmet back on and left through the window her came in and disappeared into the night. Marinette decided she was finished working for the evening and went to bed without bothering to put anything away. That certainly had been an interesting encounter. She wondered if he really would come back. She would have to buy more groceries if he did.

Grab Bag Doodles
Alright, brief story time: so for the past couple of months now, my laptop has been crashing randomly. Obviously, that’s not something I can deal with if I’m drawing or otherwise working on other projects. It was getting so bad that I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to boot it again, and I just can’t afford to lose what was on there. So I got a replacement, so I could transfer everything before the old one stopped working completely.
On the bright side, aside from crashing several times during the transfer process, I was able to get all of my files moved over, including most of my programs, so I managed not to lose anything important. On the bad side, reinstalling everything means that a lot of my settings were lost, so I had to remake my workspace on CSP, and there are some programs that just don’t work anymore because this new one uses Windows 11 (so, no more Rhythm Heaven remixes from me unless I start up the old one again and pray that it doesn’t crash while I’m working).
These doodles are from me trying to get all my settings back together.
Right now, everything feels pretty good again, so now I’m pretty much where I was before. Hopefully I’ll be able to open the follower milestone requests soon. Till then, my notes:
1) Inking Test. I decided to test out my brush settings by trying to line the Vtubesona sketch I posted a bit ago. It wasn’t lined with the intention of actually rigging this, but I do really like some of the ideas in this one. I feel so close to having a final design.
2-3) More Android and Shapeshifter designs. I don’t really understand what I did differently, but I really like Android’s face in this one. It’s cuter~ I also ditched their goggles because their head area was starting to become a huge mess of *things*. It just didn’t work when the rest of the body is pretty plain by comparison. Not much to say about Shapeshifter. I think the twin tails are cute~ I also sketched a “buffed” version, but I’ll post that one another time.
4-5) More NSR Crossing. Just some quick doodles. I did a couple of the other megastars too, but I did them all without reference, so I don’t want to post ‘em until they’re a little more accurate.
6) Kliff doodles. Was originally gonna be another full spread, but I stopped at just 2. What if NSR was completely the same, but Kliff was a puppy?
7) 1010 Iterations Guide. Just something I made to make sense of how I see the 1010 “family tree” as it were. This guide applies to both my general headcanons and my AUs.
8) Galeem doodle. Haven’t drawn this asshole in a while. I don’t use them often, but I wanted to test using CSP’s models and poses function since I restarted. I think it can be very useful for blocking out a pose, but somehow it feels more like “cheating” to use them, than it does when I just use a photo reference, so I try to use them sparingly.

Tumblr media
This, is Noxy/Noxyfied/Nox. This is the character I identify as online, and I want to tell you my story with this adorable Arctic Fox because it is one heck of a tale from not so long ago
Things did begin rough at the beginning of my persona’s history. I honestly can’t recall how I came up with it, only how I inserted my love for something and went with it.
From the early years of 2017 to 2019 I was all paper and pencil. Ah yes traditional art was my big thing for a couple of years during that era of 2013 to 2020. I had a time where I wrote stories about characters I made, and not much. No fan art, no nothing, I wanted to stick to my own original ideas at first before I took the step to do something that I did not own; it was a weird mindset I know, I couldn’t hold myself to want to be original and develop to be good enough to draw other things.
Tumblr media
It took me some time to develop, hell even to this day I still am unsure of my own skills but I enjoyed trying new things. I don’t reject much criticism even if it comes harsh it still lingers in my head when received anyway. I needed someone to identify as online, a persona who I would have an identity through as I was moving forward on this hopeful career I want to make with my art.
Idea #1 draw my own self accurate to how I look 
Tumblr media
Scratch that...
Nononono, I am too bad at showing my face, even at that I don’t like myself.
So I had to come up with something else, 2019 was ending with my skills rising up to something neat. I had Fire alpaca and a wacom cheap tablet which I used time to time back then, and with how I moved foward I said “why not, lets draw a glaceon.
Tumblr media
Not bad, not bad. I do enjoy anthropomorphic animals, and for a anthro Glaceon it wasn't so bad. Even back then I did not enjoy much of this picture but the idea sparked. I did roleplay around online a lot as a Glaceon. People always had referred to me as a Glaceon when talking, because furry friends tend to be like that and I don’t mind. It had definitely sparked the idea of identifying as one for my persona.
I had a hard time how I would draw this character, a more personalized Glaceon with my own flare of the art style I carry should be nice, should I make it tall? short? anthro? feral? the questions rose up. Even more as time passed, took some time unsure of it, Unluckily I had a Glaceon FURsona, not a persona. (Yes those were two separate things as I carried 7 fursonas as individual characters in their own stories).
But soon one day in class, my artsy self was bored and it just sparked.
Tumblr media
This is it! yes! I love it! something about this just clicked for some reason, it was like nothing I had seen before I could not look away at it, this was it.
Tumblr media
After class I went home and played some games. The idea was there but man am I tired. Things did go slow, but not for long as of January, the classes I took gave me the ability to better understand this Adobe Photoshop, an amazing tool for editing pictures but also... To draw?!? I have heard of using Photoshop to draw but was amazed to have the ability using such program. During my time 2019 I would doodle around on Photoshop in my school or at home (thanks to the campus giving me a cheaper prize to use it for assignments) Not bad, not bad, the program was for sure something nice to use. Look! I even drew my Fursonas there too, ain’t that nice
Tumblr media
2019 was something for sure. It had just begun making 2020 quite the year as I took my wacom tablet, opened Photoshop, and on January there it was.
Tumblr media
Oh how cute! I felt so proud of myself, firealpaca was nothing like how clean and pretty Photoshop was, I was amazed at this ability.
“I made this?” that would be what I ask myself everyday. Time to time I would, and still, look at my phone to my drawings and remember what I used to make some pieces, I will not forget how I used thick outlines with the line too from photoshop, added some depth on the eyes. But most importantly, I had a persona, and I introduced it
Tumblr media Tumblr media
My friends loved it, I could not believe I am starting to do the shift, my days of traditional art were at a halt. Not at a complete stop since I do use traditional art for a few other things of course, this was just my main focus now.
This little creature was everything to me, cute, easy to make, helped me throughout a few months as I practiced with my digital art.
Tumblr media
I also perfected it’s look, but something looked rather familiar about it. Could not put my finger to it, so I went on drawing it.
Tumblr media
that was a few exceptions where I shifted the proportions for “it”
“It” “it” what was this thing supposed to be, I myself was unsure how to identify myself with this persona. Male? no, female? no. The issue was there, who am I really inside, who was my persona gonna be.
I still cannot tell you exactly what my persona was for the longest time. I at times felt lost and confused with my identity, it did not help that 2020 did its mumbo jumbo and a pandemic happened, it was a lot of time on my own at home just questioning really who I had been for the longest time. Classes were minimal so my free time was big around April and May.
Tumblr media
I was always unsure of who I was exactly, through my early years late 2000′s I had in me that my body was uncomfortable for looking the way it did, 2010′s went silent but there was something in me I did not understand. why did I feel this way, why do I feel as I am not happy with who I am, and who I identify with.
This persona was the wake up call to who I really wanted to be. I saw it in me that I knew being a male was the main issue in me feeling unhappy. Throughout my life I did not enjoy masculinity as much as other kids, yeah I had some boy traits but it was rather minimal, I enjoyed other things more. I enjoyed a lot of things about being female it was something I had never seen before. as hard or confusing things tend to be from me to explain, its a rather hard thing for myself to explain. But that how it felt “confusing” I researched and looked for things and to my conclusion I had come to be, I come to identify as a MtF trans.
I felt relieved in me of it and I already enjoyed my days more after from it. The only issue is “who do I tell..?” I was timid to tell this to anyone, friends or even family. Especially family, those I come to admit they will never be told of what my decision was because of how hard headed they are. It is a tragic story to tell since most families are such closed minded people of rejecting others.
“My friends tho, my friends? I would feel bad if I told them” that was the mindset I had for a while before admitting to them time to time, one by one. This was a chapter in my life that had changed me early 2020′s but I felt a lot of joy in me to be who I wanted to be, I no longer took anyone else's guidance for controlling who I am, I just went with my own flow.
Tumblr media
My persona was.... more comically confused, it could be either so I just left it how my mood wanted it to go for when drawing it. So, things went well, in 2019 with the money I got I found myself enjoying a lot of second handed games, with a game coming real soon that had me pumped for I had to get a console I wanted for so long
Tumblr media
A PS4 for the the Final fantasy 7 Remake, I was so pumped waiting for the game, I got a used PS4 for it and even bought couple other games for it to get to know the console: Final fantasy 15, destiny, and later on this Persona 5 game a lot of people talked about. Hmm ok, well lets try it out and oh me oh my, a few days later:
Tumblr media
The art style captivated me, can you tell I went all out to trying anything with my persona? I cannot believe I was my own guinea pig for these sorts.
Going around some friends and they will tell you that I used this pfp quite a lot back then, as well as updating it with a new oc I had come up with
Tumblr media
A tale in due time will be told about this gal.
well, it was set and forth that this was me, my persona, this glaceon was who I was. People loved it, my friends really liked it, and I had a blast having this first pure year of digital art only. Meeting new friends, and admiring their art. Having old friends come back, and even losing a few others on the way. During the time of june, to July I was rapid about drawing my persona in many ways, short, tall, anthro, feral
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
even metallic.
Tumblr media
 But there come some time I did not grew tired of. But a little worried that I had to rely on a franchise for my own identity, of course there is nothing wrong for those doing it. But reflecting on myself, back then when I wanted this art career to happen, I wanted to go all out letting out my imagination  with my own creations. I had to make the decision, it was time to move on...
Tumblr media
...To a new art program and new drawing tablet
Tumblr media
No, it wasn’t that. I had to branch out from this Glaceon, but keep my identity, my legacy of this persona in check, but with a new coat of paint of course. did not take a long time before choosing that I had to use a real life animal as inspiration for this change. Something at least close to it, ah yes of course! the inspiration of the Glaceon was an arctic fox, well those are some good stepping stones to begin with so what happened one day is that I began sketching, not before saying good bye to this old self that helped me begin. It was weird, this is me but it was old me?
Tumblr media
Tested the new Brushes from this amazing program called Clip studio paint, and I gotta say I love the program. Sincerely the best choice I made to leave Photoshop for this.
At last, this is it. the new Me!
Tumblr media
Familiar looking isn’t it,baby steps we can say.
I cannot blame the people for calling my new persona a “Glaceon-alike”
I headed to the right direction stepping away from it, but it was hard to let go
Tumblr media
new program, new tablet, new me. the later half of 2020 went onto a lot of changes with myself, the chibi small version did not make me happy to make anymore, I was losing the touch and with the few comments I got of looking like a “powerpuff girl look a like” did set me off to do a drastic change I am thankful to do. This new me had some weird phases, don’t we all tho?
Tumblr media
where else to brainstorm than back to the traditional old ways. Now, you may see this and ask what was I thinking when making this. the order of when i started and finish goes as: Top right: ok what if it was feral, nah nah scratch. Top left: Can I still make it cute with a round face and features I had from before? ew no! that looks scary Bottom right: lets make it more natural and wow hey! yes yes yes! this looks hundred times better. Bottom left: It is time I go all out and make it humanoid, it was how I found myself enjoying drawing most things but still did some anthropomorphic things. I was just not the best of it.
Tumblr media
Back to digital and.... Amazing, I really out did myself this time, lets go for it, lets keep going with this
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I even got a cool sword too!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
My practice continued from here, the second half was great and fun. New persona got me in a place where I was happy with and through October and December I was having a blast with the more possibilities with it. I went on to practice with even more suggestive things after a life drawing class I took, proportions mattered to me and with this new persona I went out to make more better looking proportions that were attractive and stylish.
Tumblr media
This persona was great, and I managed to make so much of it. even Drawing the more suggestive stuff had left me with an answer for this persona. Just make it gender fluid, my selection for this character being male or female made me so tired I did not know why I just made it gender fluid since the beginning. My mood swings for this character, and I can’t resist drawing it either way. Was I finished? of course not, this persona still had some work around to do. The hair became a pain to make to keeping up with  consistently.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
2020 ended, with a year of exciting new things coming for this new year. I went through quite a lot in my life and my art career took a shaken with this new digital life style, my persona became the identity I saw myself through, something im happy with drawing to represent Me.
Tumblr media
That isn’t to say that I gave up on drawing Me Me.
I drew who I hope to be, and will use this from time to time, nothing fancy but something.
Tumblr media
It has been a year already since I began identifying myself with this persona from last year from now. ever since I sketched that doodle in class, it has been a happy trip through memory lane writing it and I am happy how things turned out. 2021 is what I hope to be as good as 2020 was (by that I mean drawing only of course) In 2021 one more change was made that had made me just as happy to continue on with.
Tumblr media
I got more hair! as crazy as it is yes. More hair, and a different front style has been to this day what I been using.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I even made a discord emoji for all the warm hugs to have with my fursona!
Tumblr media
and my first ever animation I have ever done before!!
I am always experimenting new things, and i’m proud to be an artists to go out there and leave my art out there to be noticed by anyone. The love and appreciation friends and others leave me are the best thing I could ask. I look foward to see what is up ahead, for me, my career, and Noxy.

Okay friends so I wrote my first fanfiction. Was outside of my comfort zone to do one like this, but then I actually liked my work haha.
Catradora Fanfiction (***Mature Content***)
“It will be a grand Adventure!” yelled Seahawk as he struck his foot on top of the table.
Mermista slapped her palm to her forehead and yanked Seahawk back to his seat. “Why are you so embarrassing?”
The princesses, Bo, Seahawk, and Catra all sat around the Princess Alliance Table discussing strategies on returning magic to the universe. It was mid day and queen Glimmer was already exhausted from trying to round up the alliance for one last quest.
“Ha! I’ve got a great plan, and well, ha. Yes, I drew pictures.” Scorpia pulled out a giant notebook from under the table covered in stick figure doodles.
Catra was sprawled across Adora’s lap and purred as Adora played with her ears. Melog curled at Adora's feet taking a much needed nap.
Spinerella snuggled close in Netossa’s arms resting her head on Netossa's shoulder.
“Well, I’ve been working on tremendous upgrades to Darla! You guys wanna see?” Entrapta’s eyes sparkled as she talked about her tech.
“Whatever we do, I hope I get to punch some bad guys!” Frosta threw her ice covered fists into the air.
“Maybe if we all take a moment for some deep, calming breaths-“ Perfuma began to say.
Swiftwind barged into the room, wings spread wide. “Did someone say Swiftwind? Because, my plan has a song!”
“Oh! Chantey time!” Seahawk sprung out of his seat.
“YEAH! Count me in!” said Bo, and he leapt from he chair to joined in.
“Ooohh!” The boys began to sing.
“Stop it!” Glimmer shouted. She pointed at Bo, Swifty and Seahawk. “Bo, I love you but this is not the time for songs!” Turning to Spinny and Netossa she said, “you two aren’t even paying attention.” She turned to Scorpia. “That’s just a picture of everyone holding hands surrounded by flowers!”
“Never underestimate the power of love and friendship!” Said Scorpia as she took Perfuma’s hands gently in her pinchers.
Glimmer sighed and eyed Catra who was staring longingly into Adora’s eyes.
“Catra! Stop distracting Adora! We will probably need She-Ra’s powers in our plan.”
“Wow. Chill Sparkles. Give us some time to relax.” Catra crossed her arms and flicked her tail.
“Guys!” Glimmer slammed her fists down. “Why is it that Entrapta and Mermista are the only ones taking this seriously?”
“Yeah, I wasn’t listening to anything you guys said…” Mermista crossed her arms.
“Okay, okay, okay!” Adora set Catra onto her own seat , kissed her forehead, and stood. As much as she wanted to spend her time snuggling Catra after the events that had unraveled only a month ago, she knew she should contribute since this originally was her idea.
Light shimmered down on her giving her a radiant golden glow. The room went silent for a moment as Adora opened her mouth. Everyone leaned in ready to hear She-Ra’s amazing plan to restore magic to the other worlds. “Yeah, I got nothing”
The princesses began mumbling amongst themselves, while Seahawk, Swiftwind and Bo danced around singing.
Adora looked next to her and noticed Catra was gone. “Did you see where she went?” Adora asked Melog.
Melog cocked their head to the side.
“Huh?” Adora reached down and grabbed a folded paper from Catra’s seat. “Come Find Me” was written on the not with a doodle of Catra’s face.
Adora slipped out of the room and made her way down the hall. She wondered what silly game her girlfriend was scheming now.
“Hey Adora.”
Adora turned to see Catra leaning against the wall. One hand was pressed against her hip while she tapped her claws along the wall with the other.
Adora moved in closer. “Catra, What are-“
Catra pulled her into a passionate kiss.
Adora Let out a tiny gasp as she was taken by surprise. Catra purred as Adora grabbed her waist.
They paused when they heard mumbling coming from around a corner. Two guards strolled by.
“Hey,” said Adora awkwardly holding up finger pistol hands and making a clicking sound.
The guards returned the hello with questioning looks but continued around the hall.
Catra and Adora exchanged guilty glances then they broke into a rumble of giggles.
Adora raised her brow and smirked. She morphed into She-Ra. Catra tried not to drool at her muscles as Adora scooped her into her arms, one arm around her back and the other under her knees.
Catra caressed Adora’s face and softly traced her tongue up the side of Adora’s neck. Adora’s eyes widened as it felt like a thousand butterflies crashing around her stomach.
Adora practically kicked down the door to her bedroom, then slammed it shut again. She pulled Catra’s legs around her waist and morphed back into herself. She sat Catra on the bed.
Catra sunk into the plush mattress. "Ah! Why is it so squishy?" She poked at the bed.
"Careful!" Gasped Adora. "Tear it and it explodes! I may have made that mistake before. It’s soft, but you'll get used to it."
Adora leaned her body close as she was locked onto Catra’s lips, testing to see how far Catra was ready to go.
Catra lightly bit Adora’s bottom lip and brushed her hand along Adora’s thigh.
The heat of the room grazed their bodies. Adora unclasped the belt around her waist and yanked off her bright red jacket. She ran her hands down Catra’s sides then slipped her hands beneath her shirt line. She paused for a moment and when she was sure Catra was ready, she pulled her shirt off and pressed her palms against Catra’s breasts.
Adora trailed kisses down Catra’s jaw, neck and shoulder. Catra made a “Ppprrummpp” sound before tearing a claw down the front of Adora’s shirt and ripping it off onto the floor.
“Catra!” said Adora.
Catra swished her tail and leaned back with a sensual look. “What? You’re a magical Princess, just get a new shirt.”
Adora snorted and hopped onto the bed pulling Catra on top of her. She stroked her fingers down Catra’s sides and along her thighs before pulling Catra’s pants down her legs then onto the floor. Catra’s stomach filled with knots. She gave a small growl as she straddled Adora and brushed her lips and tongue down Adora’s chest and stomach. She ignored the urge to rip Adora’s pants and instead softly pulled them off, careful about using her claws.
Adora gently pushed Catra to her back and pushed her thigh between Catra’s legs while entangled in her kiss. Catra sucked in a deep breath.
Adora slid her hands up Catra’s thigh and against her clit. Catra let out a small gasp and delicately grazed her claws down Adora’s back before whispering “Adora.”
Adora nibbled at Catra’s neck while she stroked tenderly between Catra’s legs. With her free hand she rubbed her palm across Catra’s chest and sides.
Catra purred and growled and moaned. She pulled Adora’s hair loose from its tie and ran her fingers through her silky blonde hair. She let out a final moan and dug her claws into Adora's back. Her body trembled before fading to a serene state. She slowly tossed her tail about and purred while gazing at Adora’s smirking face.
When Catra realized she had clawed Adora harder than she meant to her eyes went big and a look of horror cascaded down her face. “Adora! I’m sorry, I didn’t mean-“
"Pfft. Catra, it’s fine. It’s not like you haven’t scratched me before," joked Adora.
Catra’s eyes fell and her ears dropped back as her heart filled with guilt.
“Besides,” Adora cupped Catra’s cheek in her hand and pulled her gaze back. “You can make it up to me.” Adora gave a sly smile and winked before flipping Catra back on top of her.
Catra grinned and trailed her tongue across Adora’s body. She delicately bit at Adora’s breast and stomach then down to her inner thighs. She pushed Adora’s knees up and wrapped her arms under Adora’s thighs, grasping onto Adora’s hips. She brushed her tongue up and down Adora’s clitoris. Catra perked her ears every time Adora moaned Catra's name.
As Adora came closer to climaxing, Catra switched to her fingers to move faster, being careful to hold her claws higher to avoid scratching Adora.
Adora clasped her fingers around sheets and bit at a pillow as she let out a muffled scream.
Catra climbed back up and laid on Adora’s chest. She smiled down at Adora with a prideful look and said “Hey Adora.”
Adora let out a giggle. “Hey Catra.”
Catra turned and curled her back against Adora's stomach. Adora pressed her body close to Catra and hung one arm over her waste while she stroked her furry ears with the other. Adora faded to a calming sleep to the sound of Catra's steady purr.

Tumblr media
Pairing: Kyotani Kentarou x Female Reader 
Request: >Yes    No 
Tag(s): This is a commission (more like a trade) for my friend Coralia! 
Note(s): This is my first time writing for Kyotani but it was a lot of fun! 
**This is taken from my Quotev, as this is my writing. Haikyuu characters do not belong to me, however, this writing does. Do not repost without my permission please. 
* * * * *
        Kyotani is confused as to why his classmate keeps calling him by his first name despite him wanting to be originally addressed by his last name. Ever since they were paired up for a small assignment she’s decided to call him by Kyotani. Without permission too. Suddenly he is Kyotani to his seatmate and now best friend. Even though it is disrespectful he is undeniably intrigued rather than frustrated. 
        “Want to come over to my house to study, Kyotani?” The girl who he was just thinking about asked, elbows propped on his desk. Her chair is still forwards, her body swung around so her chin rested on the back. With the cutest smile, she asked her usual question. “We have a test soon. Wouldn’t want you to fail!” 
        He only stared at that while he chewed his lunch, not knowing what he wanted to say to her question. No matter how many times she asks him he still feels like he’s at a loss of words. Using it being lunch as an excuse, he only takes another bite. 
        “I think that’s a yes?” Y/n chuckles, hoping he’d answer before class began.
        “Sure.” The male says as he takes the last bite. Y/n doesn’t fail to notice how he stares at the container, eyes focused on the cartoon chicken. 
        Giggling, Y/n decides to tease his hesitation to throw it away. “Those mascots are pretty cute! I’d have trouble throwing it away too.” She offers him an innocent smile after her playful comment. 
        Kyotani ignores what she said and tosses the container in the trash, acting as if he wasn’t just thinking that. “I don’t know what you were talking about.” He tried to lie but Y/n saw right through him. 
        “Sure~!” 
        Students started to fill into the classroom from the hallways and restroom, as there was little time before class would resume. Kyotani slumps back into his seat with that information, wanting to be comfortable for the last few hours of school. Y/n swung her body back around to face the board, a smile on her face. 
        Brown eyes narrow onto Y/n as she writes something down, though Kyotani can’t tell what it is. This doesn’t stop him from staring at the girl in front of him, internally questioning his feelings for his friend. The longer he stares the more he notices about her. The tap of her foot against the chair leg, how her hand brushed against the paper she was writing on, and the thing Kyotani loves most about Y/n: how she smells sweet like strawberries. 
        “Pssh!” Kyotani heard Y/n whisper. “Class started!” She told him while giving him a note. Folded into neat quarters with a cute dog doodled on it, she gave him a grin. 
        When the teacher’s eyes glance over to the two Y/n is quickly staring at her book like she’s been working the entire time. Kyotani doesn’t mask how he wasn’t exactly paying attention but the teacher says and does nothing besides squinting and raising their voice a little. When their body turns to face the board, Y/n slides around again, giving the male a thumbs up and a small snicker. 
        Her focus goes back to the lesson while Kyotani eyes the piece of paper she dropped onto his desk. He slowly peels it open with his book up to hide what he is actually doing. 
        After not very delicately unfolding the paper he sees in her charmingly messy handwriting, “What time are you coming over?” 
        Flipping the piece of paper over, Kyotani begins writing. After a minute or so the piece of paper slipped into Y/n’s hand from under her desk. It’s her turn to sneakily read his query on the slip of paper. 
        “After practice.” 
        That got Y/n’s attention. In the few weeks she’s been friends he hardly talked about himself. He’s told her about how he loves dogs and chicken but never about after school activities. For the past month or so he’d just sit in his seat eating Kara Age Kun and listening to her rambles about trivial things. With his intense chocolate eyes staring into her own e/c orbs she had to fight the nerves bundling inside of her. But as soon as they came they went away and the two grew comfortable around each other. 
        Y/n wastes no time in writing another question down. Now that he’s truly opened up she wants to know more about the guy she’s been falling for since first seeing him as a freshman. After writing it down she drops it right by his foot. 
        Bending forward, Kyotani acts like he’s tying his shoes while getting the piece of notebook paper. He unbends it to reveal, “Ooo~! What club are you in?” He quickly scribbles down a couple of words and hands it back to her discreetly before turning back to his book. 
        Smiling, Y/n reads the club name again. She hadn’t seen him in any of the games so far this year. Despite that she was growing very interested. So interested that she’d have to watch one of their practices and soon. 
“The boys’ volleyball club? Hmm…” 
* * * * *
        Oikawa couldn’t contain his excitement at seeing a new face outside of the gym doors. With gorgeous h/c hair and shining e/c eyes he also couldn’t deny he wanted her to have shown up to admire him like all the others. 
        “Oh! Iwa-chan? Who’s the new face?” He asks his friend by his side to be met with a scowl. 
        “I don’t know.” The male responds while grabbing a volleyball from the bin. The other boys on the team grab a ball and split into pairs for a quick warm up before individual practice. “Get changed!” Iwaizumi yells when Oikawa only stands, looking over the young girl talking to someone outside of the gym. 
        Oikawa still doesn’t move so Iwaizumi raises the volleyball. “But Iwa-chan! She’s so pretty! I hope she's here for me!” 
        That’s met with a disappointed head shake from Iwaizumi before he says, “Not every girl is going to be into you.” 
        “What?!” The captain takes obvious offense from that. “How could they not be interested in me? With my wonderful humour and incredible charms? That’s nigh impossible!” He dramatically says, adding a hand to his forehead for extra drama marks. Iwaizumi isn’t amused by the performance however, only hitting Oikawa with a volleyball. 
        “Get your ass in the gym so we can practice.” 
        “Fine Iwa-chan,” Oikawa says in defeat. “I don’t understand why you have to be so mean to me.” 
        Rolling his eyes, Iwaizumi walks ahead of Oikawa. However, the taller of the two is stopped by a hand grabbing his jacket. He stops, turning around to see who had so boldly gripped his jacket. Oikawa and Iwaizumi hardly believe who it is. 
        The pretty girl Oikawa has been ranting about. 
        Immediately Oikawa smirks, suspecting that she’s here for him. Iwaizumi lets out a groan and heads into the gym, knowing how this’ll likely end up going. 
        “I wonder who this beauty is?” Oikawa says with a flirty tone, holding his hand out to her. “Come here to watch us practice?” He’s seen her at their games but she’s not someone who attends practice matches or regular practices. “Or, maybe, see me?” Oikawa’s sly expression disappears when she shakes her head in a silent no. 
        “I’ve actually come to apply for manager.” 
        He’s too shocked to properly process what she says. “What?” Is all he manages to get out as Hanamaki snickers at Oikawa’s dazed face. 
        “She’s not here for you!” Someone shouts from inside the gym as Oikawa stands, shocked. Everyone came to see him. There’s no way this girl could be any different, right? 
        “Applying for manager to get closer to me?” Oikawa asks, leaning closer. His hand reaches forward to trap the girl against the wall. Y/n stares up at him, an application sheet in her hand. “You don’t even need to apply.” His voice drops as a means to sound more seductive. 
        It doesn’t work as Y/n’s shoe goes down on his toes, making him crouch down in pain. “Ahh!” Oikawa shouts as she walks away. 
        “Hi!” Y/n waves to Iwaizumi who is struggling not to laugh at the foolish display he’s made. The other members of the team aren’t holding back. Especially Hanamaki and Matsukawa, the duo cackling at the jokes they’re making about him. What really cracks them up is how she crushes his toes and then casually walks up to Iwaizumi like Oikawa isn’t hopping around in agony. 
        “I was wondering if I could be a manager?” She asks again, this time with a smile that makes Iwaizumi’s skeptical face soften. “I picked up an application sheet from the office already.” Showing him the sheet, he takes it with his free hand. The other is propping the volleyball against his waist and forearm. 
        Glancing over the sheet, Iwaizumi saw Y/n is a good student without any behavioral issues. He could see she works at a small bakery by Karasuno and tutors the middle schoolers from her old school. All in all Y/n had an amazing record and what looked like a remarkable work ethic. 
        The only thing missing from the application is why she wanted to be the boys’ volleyball team manager. 
        Iwaizumi didn’t want to assume Oikawa was right in assuming she’s here for him but he couldn’t exactly rule it out either. Handing her the sheet back after a thorough look, Iwaizumi thought about how to ask his question without taking any sides. “Why do you want to be our manager?” 
        “Well,” Y/n began honestly. “I did to get closer to someone.” That had gotten the entire team's attention, especially Oikawa’s. 
        “I am right! You joined to get closer to m-” Oikawa is cut off abruptly from Y/n continuing to speak. 
        “He’s really sweet and so cool!” Y/n couldn’t help but smile as she spoke about her crush and beloved friend. “He’s just so passionate about volleyball. He puts so much effort into improving and no one seems to appreciate that. So I’ve been learning more about volleyball for the past week and watching the practices-” 
        The team exchanged glances before looking back at Oikawa. So far, with the exception of ‘no one seems to appreciate that’ it sounded like their potential manager was enamored by none other than their captain. 
        “-I want to become your manager to get closer to him. I really like him and want to support him.” Y/n admits truthfully and without an ounce of doubt. After all, why be ashamed of liking someone? 
        Amidst the team’s doubts the gym doors open, the usually late wing spiker walking in. It’s easy to see how Y/n’s eyes lit up at his entry and how her arms outstretched and engulfed his body into an affectionate hug. 
        It was also clear that he’d heard all of that by how red his face is. Without words he wrapped his arms around his friend, holding her tightly. Even when she retracted he didn’t. His long arm only rested against her shoulder as she grinned happily at the male towering over her. 
        “I want to be your manager so I can directly support my favorite player and crush: Kentarou!” 
        His blush only got worse at you saying his last name with such affection. Not wanting to admit to it, but he had also developed feelings for his eccentric best friend. Despite his constant denial he knew that his feelings weren’t platonic. Even now with his crush in his arms with the brightest, most adorable doopy girn he’s ever seen he won’t admit he’s in love. 
        Still, he couldn’t help but love this new attention as she practically climbed his body to deliver the softest, briefest of kisses onto his nose. Looking down at her in both shock and admiration, he felt his heart throb with this new and very welcomed feeling filling him. 
        Maybe just this once, he can admit he’s in love with his best friend. 
* * * * *
        Oikawa felt sore all over. From the throbbing in his toes and face to his heart beating in his throat. No way did that just happen, right? 
        “No!” The male exclaimed as his teammates watched Y/n pull Kyotani down by his shirt collar for a real kiss. Everyone else on the team whistled and laughed, teasing their second year wing spiker on liking a girl so giddy. “You don’t really like Mad Dog-chan? Do you? No way!” Oikawa approached the newly formed couple with a pained expression, not really wanting to believe in this. 
        His collar is grabbed before he can harass the two as Iwaizumi pulls him back. “Leave them alone Trashykawa,” Iwaizumi said with a scowl directed at Oikawa. “Can’t you see they’re happy together?” 
        Oikawa looks back to see Y/n comparing her hand size to Kyotani’s, and as expected his hands are larger. Suddenly she laces her fingers with his, watching with a smile as his hand engulfs hers. His face immediately turns red as he tries and hide it but Y/n only giggles and starts swinging their intertwined fingers happily. 
        Smacking his captain, Iwaizumi says, “Now stop trying to get every pretty girl you see.” The male walks back to resume practice with a smile towards Kyotani, proud that he’s found someone sweet for him. 
        Standing there still, Oikawa watches as Y/n rambles about all the new things she’s learned about volleyball. He couldn’t help himself from watching in jealousy, never expecting to be jealous of his underclassman. Even with the ping of sadness in his chest from being rejected for the first time in a long while, he bends down to grab a volleyball. Closing his eyes, Oikawa holds the ball close to his body as he thinks for a moment. It wasn’t that he even liked the girl who had just walked into the gym. He’s confused as to why she doesn’t like him at all. With a hurting ego, Oikawa opens his eyes to look at his teammate proudly. 
        Even if he could have practically any girl in the world, he’s happy that Y/n loves Kyotani instead of him. Though his ego certainly doesn’t agree.

Eugenesis, Part Four Scene Seven: Hosehead Spoils The Marvel Transformers Comics For Optimus Prime
Siren’s decided to return Death’s Head’s call, after a bit of deliberation. Death’s Head reports that the transwarp generator backfired when they tried to leave hyperspace, killing everyone onboard except himself.
If that sounds like a load of crap, that’s because it is. Nightbeat picks up the line and tells Death’s Head to let Ultra Magnus know he can come out now.
Tumblr media
This was a test, seeing as the Ark crew had no idea what’s going on on Cybertron. Nightbeat caught on to this little ruse, seeing as he’s a detective, and that’s sort of his whole thing.
The Ark is two days away from Cybertron. Hopefully there will still be folks left to save by that point.
Tumblr media
Well, now everyone’s going to die, since Magnus went and jinxed it again. Just stop saying things and maybe a few people will still be alive at the end of this!
Over at the Quintesson fortress, Kup and his merry band of fools have been detected. Quantax is honestly a little insulted that only five guys showed up, but he’ll deal with them regardless.  
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Holy fucking shit, Quantax, it’s a corpse. Kup isn’t going to be happy about this.
Speaking of not being happy, let’s check in on Prowl.
He’s sitting at his desk- his natural state- as Perceptor put the finishing touches on their new teleport. Chromedome’s figured out how to send Delphi a scrambled message, so the Autobots will be back in business in just a little bit! Yay!
Prowl isn’t looking too thrilled, though. Perceptor notices this- shocking, I know- and asks what’s up. Prowl brushes it off, saying that he’s worried about Kup. Yeah, I bet you are.
Throwback comes in, admitting that Kup had approached him for the suicide mission, though he’d turned him down. Good to know he isn’t an idiot on top of everything else. Still, he didn’t report the mutiny, because Kup swore him to secrecy.
Why do I have a feeling that “swearing him to secrecy” involved some gun not-safety?
Prowl tells Throwback not to worry about it too much, seeing as even if he’d reported it, it’s not like Kup would have listened to Prowl anyway. Throwback knows this, but maybe they could have kept the others from leaving, thus rendering the whole thing a bust.
Tumblr media
Prowl needs to be put of suicide watch.
He dismisses Throwback.
Tumblr media
For real, Prowl needs help. I know that this is a time of active combat, but he’s been showing signs of suicidal ideation since Part Two.
Okay, who’s ready for a taste of Optimus Prime’s inner monologue?
Tumblr media
Optimus wakes up in Delphi to a starstruck Hosehead. Hosehead’s got orders to guard him, and he’s been doing a very good job at it. Too bad no one told him about the NDA agreement Nightbeat has with the plot.
Tumblr media
Whoopsie doodle!
Galvatron’s woken up, and he’s been dressed to the nines in the finest restraints Delphi has to offer- Inhibitor Claws, muzzles, pincer clamps- you name it, he’s got it strapped to him somewhere. He’s also at the bottom of a cell, with his interviewers watching him from a viewing window above.
Questioning begins, and Galvatron is surprisingly forthcoming with answers; he tells them where the Quintessons kidnapped him to, about Thunderclash and Longtooth, about being Xenon’s guinea pig for the Inhibitor Chip, all sorts of good info. Way to be a pal, Galvatron. Then he demands to be set free, in exchange for more tasty tidbits.
Siren and Nightbeat attempt to Good Cop/Bad Cop the guy, but Galvatron has their number- he hasn’t even been there a half hour, and he already knows that the Autobots are scared shitless of what’s unfolding on Cybertron.
Optimus Prime bursts into the room at this point, because things weren’t already tense enough. He and Nightbeat need to have a chat.
Tumblr media
I HAVE SEVERAL QUESTIONS.
How the hell did Optimus recognize Galvatron as Megatron? They look completely different. Optimus has never met Galvatron in his life at this point- time travel shenanigans, remember? If anything, he should be assuming Megatron is dead, considering that the last time he saw him, he was being smeared across the floor of the Ark while they held hands fought to the death.
And I guess I always sort of assumed that Galvatron just didn’t have Megatron’s memories. I can’t think of what that assumption would be based off of, but yeah. Maybe that’s just me.
Anyway, Optimus and Nightbeat step into the other room to talk.  
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Oh my fucking god, is this actually happening? I can’t believe this is actually being addressed.
For anyone who isn’t aware, Ethan Zachary is a kid on Earth who programmed a video game, that both Megatron and Optimus Prime entered to do battle in. Optimus Prime was killed. In a video game. That’s how he- the original Optimus- dies. And he just found out from a guy named friggin’ Hosehead. That’s about as undignified as it gets.
Tumblr media
Holy shit, Optimus is pissed. Who knew all it took to make the perfect Autobot leader pop off is lie to his face about whether he’s alive or not? This is amazing.
Nightbeat reasons that with how much a shock just being in the future would be, he wanted to try and hold off on informing Optimus of his demise for as long as he could.
Tumblr media
You don’t get to be impressed by this, you’re part of the problem.
Tumblr media
He realized he was poking holes in the comic storylines and his contract with Marvel made him stop.
Tumblr media
Fuck you, yes you were- and it was a righteous fury if there ever was one.
It’s at this point that Nightbeat offers to use the mind wiper on Optimus now, as opposed to at the conclusion of Eugenesis. Optimus declines, reasoning that it would only be a matter of time before some other rando spills the beans on him being dead. Nightbeat then offers to drop him back off at the wormhole, but Optimus is too good an egg to leave everyone hanging at this point.
Back at Delphi, more great news- Soundwave’s escaped. You wouldn’t happen to know anything about that, now would you Prowl?
Red Alert’s concerned that one of their own let him out, which Prowl shoots down by attacking the thing he’s sensitive about- his paranoia. Prowl is a dick.
On the bright side, though, Chromedome’s finally finished the set-up for broadcast. They call Delphi, but the reception is terrible.
Tumblr media
Chromedome’s had enough of literally everyone at this point. Also, I hope that oil came from a non-sentient machine, Perceptor. No murders at the Institute of Higher Programming until winter break is over.
They manage to get through to Fastlane for about twenty seconds, but can’t ask any questions because  their communications are essentially running on a tin can and string.
Tumblr media
Oh boy, wonder who that could be. Let’s check the security cameras, shall we?
Tumblr media
Well, at least you got that dead body that used to be your friend back.
Where’s everyone else, Kup? Where are my lovely boys, who you managed to rope into this dumpster fire?
Where are they?
Kup?
KUUUUUUUUUUP????
I’m upset.

One year with Takei - 2017 Summary of Art
01 | 02 | 03 | 04 | 05 | 06 | 07 | 08 | 09 | 10 | 11 | 12
This year has been the year of zines for me. I’ve applied to a few ones and spent basically half a year with doing zine illustrations (or procrastinating :’D ). They pushed me out of my comfort zone and made me achieve some new things. Let me talk about this year for a while~
Tabel of contents (since you know me, I like to talk nonstop :’D ):
Last year’s goals for 2017
Additional achievements in 2017
A little talk on 2017
My goals for 2018
My goals for this year (as I wrote in last year’s summary) were:
focusing more on my own style (accept that not everything is about realism!) - SUCCESS
doing more b/w & lineart art (w/o colours!) - little SUCCESS
use screentones to practice for dj - little SUCCESS
do studies to improve anatomy & backgrounds - ummm....
slowly learn more about colours (They’re scary D; ) - a tiny bit??
draw a doujinshi - FAIL
get used to CSP - FAIL

started planning OC stories/designs some more again
getting back to drawing what I truly love and not what I expect people to like (welcome back multifandom me with all my problematic faves :’D )
started planning some amazing collaboration with @deciduice
My TOP 10 posts this year are in another post over there
This year I was still abroad for 8 more months, which were quite challenging concerning mental and physical health. Being in a foreign country where the doctors don’t speak your language can be quite difficult... 
My right wrist suffers from tendonitis since May (all because I tried to be healthy and do some muscle training sports :’D ) and I doubt I will get rid of it completely again (especially with university...), I’m truly afraid of carpal tunnel syndrom, I need to take good care of my wrist from now one, making this one new goal for 2018! My mental health hit rock bottom (or who knows how much further down it can still go... ^^; ) as well... I hope I’m getting better next year, it’s kinda scary.
But I passed my Japanese Proficiency Test Level N2, which was a huge success! I read more manga in Japanese and sometimes also a little in light novels (currently Haikyuu!! Shousetsu-ban - tho I’m still stuck at chapter 2 :’D ) Starting in April I will write my graduation thesis for 10 weeks, have a few more exams and then be done with university!! FINALLY. However, I have zero idea what to do, which is giving me some serious existential crisis. It’s frightening!! I hope to figure out something asap!
Art wise I think I made some great illustrations. However, I don’t really FEEL them? I feel like they’re not truly what is me... I’m still on unfriendly terms with colours and honestly really need to learn more about them or I’ll never be happy. Trying out new colouring styles would be a nice thing to do as well. But nevertheless, the fact I drew those zine illustrations (February-August) really taught me a lot of different things and it was a great (even though stressful) time!
My friends @dradra-trici and I, who for a few years distanced ourselves from each other in matters of art, slowly might come closer to each other again, which gave me very happy feelings!
The google hangouts crew is growing more and more as well! However, I need to practice reducing distractions, so I need to distance myself from them a little more when time asks for it OTL I also met @wildkittewrites and @aurigaearts this year which was one of the highlights for me :D
As for my goals for 2018:
take care of my wrist in all daily situations, including drawing!
improve mental health (also includes to stress less on art stuff, learn how to improve what bothers me with art or the community, how I see other artists and their art among others)
learn more about colours/colour theory
continue drawing more lineart/b&w art/screentones art
plan out that doujinshi, you fool! (it’s BokuAka ofc :D But I also started a Victuuri one... )
try out new things with art - brushes, colouring technique, sketchbook doodles, etc. GO WILD!! BE FREE!!
draw more original art (especially: finish drawing the pics for the OC ask that’s been in your draft for months!)
draw more scenes additionally to “boring couple art” - I just want to have more friendship or action art as well, I wanna GROW as an artist! (I love couple art tho, so I won’t stop drawing those XD)
and while we’re at it: FINISHED ILLUSTRATIONS!
get on with that pirate series
maybe try selling a thing one day...
I also wanted to organize a zine once... but maybe not this year :’)
overcome my hate for drawing clothes :’D
RESEARCH IS NOT WASTING TIME
WATCHING TUTORIALS ETC IS NOT WASTING TIME
This is quite a long list and nothing like a true “to-do list”, more like a reminder? Let’s see how much of it I can achieve while also having a private live with way too many hobbies besides art, and an university live that’s really hard on me :’)
Let’s make 2018 a good one together, spread happiness, positivity and love!

Star Child
Characters: Shinsou Hitoshi, female reader
Word Count: 1585
Summary: Nothing is the same after his quirk manifests and others began to realize what he’s able to do. With no guarantee that they won’t be next, the people he once called friends turn a blind eye to his calls as he’s left in the dark only to watch as others laugh and play. After receiving a gold star sticker for his perfect score on a spelling test, another student takes note to the shine in his eyes and decides to do something about it. An odd friendship is born from their unusual first encounter as the now aged Shinsou recalls a specially fond memory.
A/N: This piece is heavily inspired by @calmeremerald and @keiid art! It was far too good for me to resist writing a little something. I can’t wait for when this tired child becomes a hero ;A; And I’m still waiting for Aizawa to train him gdi
If he was to recall his fondest memory so far, only one came to mind.
Once upon a time, during a time when stars magnificently shone in large, purple hues and the world was too big for his little head to understand, he watched friends and peers manifest and grow super powers or limbs or both as their true potential awakened within them. He remembered watching them with envy as the grins squished their faces and the sparkle in their eyes glittered before the greatness they could one day manifest. Me too. Me too, he chanted and prayed with each fall of the sun. One day, he too was going to manifest his quirk and the young Shinsou dreamed of the day he would become like the man on TV.
But something went wrong. This wasn’t what he wanted. It was just a question.
The warmth from their eyes disappeared. Do this. Do that. He was the only one they listened to, the only one they took orders from and as the others watched in a mix of confusion and some in fear, no message spoke clearer and the spiral down to the rest of his life began as those he once played and laughed with slowly disappeared with nervous smiles and hesitant eyes. His voice tried to reach them time and time again but each curve of his lips fell on deaf ears as even his teachers began to look the other way. He was a dangerous kid with a dangerous quirk and he had no idea how to control it. Who could blame ‘em for leaving him in the dark?
The brilliant stars that used to radiate in his magnificent purple eyes dulled in the coming days as the reality of his life became just a hair more concrete with each missing word. He was forced to watch from the side lines as the friends he no longer knew laughed and played with one another, building a warmth between them and their smiles that he so desperately craved as the hollowness in his chest thrummed against the darkness that shrouded his heart. Oh how desperately he needed that warmth, that sense of unity that everyone around him made so easily. It didn’t matter whether it was 5 days or 5 seconds, all he wanted was a moment, a sliver in time where he was looked at, spoken to as though he wasn’t a freak or a monster but instead, just a 4 year old boy with dreams of being hero. So he worked day and night, coming early to preschool, staying after to clean, studying longer than he needed after dinner and finally, finally, he was looked upon with a smile on his teacher’s face.
“Good job Shinsou.” Their voice was warm and kind, one he hadn’t heard in so long as they pressed a gold star against his chest. He never felt more pride than in that one moment. All the struggles and tribulations of a small boy was finally rewarded and he cherished that sticker and the many more to come as it continued to sit on his wall with the sea of them, just above his desk.
Although he wanted to wear it again the following day, he stopped himself as he returned to class with rejuvenated vigor to work harder so that one day his classmates and once friends would accept him again; but all he could remember from when he walked into class was a barrage of pokes and a toothy grin as she announced her name. She was one of the quieter students, one who was friends with everyone--a girl next door kinda character who often wore her emotions without shame and her heart on her sleeve. A pile of pages waited in her tiny hands as a variety of gold stars were placed all over his chest and arms, on both cheeks and the middle of his forehead, even in his hair (which became a hassle to take off later that day) and finally, after scavenging through all her available pages, the biggest star she could find was placed on his nose. Although they weren’t exactly like the one he got yesterday, it mattered very little to him as he stood with more gold stars on him than he could count.. He stood wide eyed at her abrupt assault, as her giggles and laughs became hard to forget when she skipped away upon the teacher’s call. Class was about to start.
Throughout the day, she didn’t let a single one fall without warning, often putting it back where she originally placed it or replacing it altogether. She was even reprimanded for getting up in the middle of an assignment to place the star back on his arm but she was hardly phased. During their play time, she sat next to him as she doodled, placing a star on the corner of his paper and wrapping one along the end of his pencil. During lunch, class activities, even recess, she stayed by his side as she filled the space between them with her scattered thoughts and ideas, talking about this and that, more than anyone has yet to talk to him for the past few months.
“Why--” It was the only word he could get out when he approached her before leaving for the day. Her hand rested snug in her mother’s. He had been pondering the question since morning and he was afraid that if he didn’t ask, if he didn’t find out now, that he’ll never know. Somehow, he believed that she would disappear with the start of a new day and he would wake up from this dream only to return to the darkness that once shrouded his eyes earlier that week. But another part of him didn’t want to ask. He didn’t want to be confronted once more with the silent stares and the slight brush of hair. He didn’t want his question to be left out and exposed with no comfort from another’s voice or care. He looked at her in fear of waking up and in fear of losing it all. She was the only one to look at him with such sincerity, such kindness since the true nature of his quirk was revealed. She was the first one to sit next to him and talk to him after so long.
“You looked really happy yesterday,” She smiled as she did throughout that day and every day following for the next handful of years. “I’ll bring the stickers again tomorrow so you can be happy tomorrow too!”
Everyone has that one special memory that brings a smile to their lips and against popular belief, he had a few of them too. Although they shared tons of memories in the short amount of time together, both happy and sad, their first was always his favorite as he chuckled to himself. It always made him wonder how different things would be if she hadn’t done what she did, if she didn’t give him that gold star. Would he still be trying to be a hero? Where would he be now? Where is she? What is she doing? How is she? He couldn’t help but ponder whenever her smile reached his thoughts and in the light breeze, he could hear her voice calling out for him as she once used to when they met up in front of school, snuck away after class to a nearby river, or ate ice cream on a hot summer’s night. There were too many things to name and so many more memories he wanted to make. There were so many things he wanted to tell her but it had been so long since they said goodbye, since she promised him one last star and the pathetic romantic inside of him still believed in her words, no matter how superficial. One day, he’ll become a hero and when that day comes, he can meet her again.
A sense of urgency bloated his chest, a sudden need for more gripping at his fingertips as the light of the day shined more brighter than he remembered. The breeze seemed fresher than the day before.
“I knew I recognized that crazy set of hair,” A voice from his dreams reached his ears as his leisurely pace came to a halt. With wide eyes, he turned to meet a familiar gaze, a familiar warmth he had been stripped of for far too long. Her name grazed his lips as she greeted him with that same smile from years ago, her laugh and giggles all the same as she filled the space between them as she always did. “I saw you on TV during the Yuuei sport’s festival! Man, I can’t believe you didn’t tell me you got into Yuuei! You looked way too cool!” She laughed. “If I didn’t know any better, I would’ve guessed you were a hero, huh?”
It was mellowed, off base but at the same time, so right as he couldn’t help the smile that pulled at the ends of his lips. He wanted to say something, anything but his voice left him as he watched her rummage through her belongings, pulling out a purple wallet that almost matched his hair. “Also,” Her voice trickled as she pulled out a familiar star and peeled off the paper back. Her hand pressed against his chest as he met that toothy grin. “Sorry for keeping you waiting all these years Shinsou,”

Brush Reviews & Customer Feedback
Please feel free to follow me and share your feedback in the Procreate Forum. Thanks for your great support. You're awesome! :D
joe12south: George, thank you SO much for these amazing brushes! I was very disappointed in the ink brushes included with Procreate, and was dreading the hours that I would have to spend to create suitable inking brushes, when I discovered your set. Not only did you save me untold hours, but the quality is almost certainly better than I would have achieved on my own. The combination of the Apple Pencil + Procreate + your brushes yields an amazingly natural drawing experience. I've used every drawing tablet ever made since the Koala Pad (1984) and this is the first time I don't feel like I'm losing something by not using pencil/pen and paper. ... I've been using Georg's brushes for my morning warm-up sketches all week. Tons of fun. I've also fell in LOVE with the Dupa pencil brush. Previously, I really liked the 6B included with Procreate, but I find the Dupa brush superior in every way. My guess is most people buy this pack for the ink brushes, and may have overlooked this gem. For the first time, I feel like I could throw away my black and white Prismacolor pencils and never look back! ... Savage Interactive needs to seriously consider working a deal with Georg to include these brushes. I love Procreate, but the base included ink brushes are not "inky" at all. ... Lest you think Georg's brushes are only for cartooning, here's a portrait commission I did this morning using only the upcoming "BRISTLY" brush.
Wizard of Zog: Thanks so much again for making such awesome brushes. I hope the folks at Procreate send you all kinds of free stuff because your brushes are what truly makes that app sing for me.
Kazart: Thanks Georg for your work, i already found my favourites brushes wich allow me to draw like my traditionnal style. Here is a sample, a space assassin! Thanks again. 
kewlpack: Georg - Thanks for continuing to make the MegaPack an INCREDIBLE value with these updates. Fantastic customer service right there.
dftaylor: Just a quick note, since I've already harassed Georg on Twitter, that these brushes are wonderful. I've used nearly every art app out there, and between Georg's brushes for Procreate and Frenden's brushes for Manga Ex, I can work on my comics on my iPad Pro and my Surface Pro seamlessly. They're just brilliant tools - my favourites are the Penciler, the DUPA pencil, the Eisner, the Watterson, and the Underzo (both the texture brush and the lettering brush). I've used them on everything I've drawn since I got them. Great work and amazing value for money. Here's my most recent piece.
jollyrein: I LOVE LOVE LOVE The COPICESQUE set! Absolutely magical :D It's exactly what I was look for! Thank you so much Georg.
Vezinho: Hi Georg ! Just wanted to say that i bought your megapack and i find your brushes fantastically natural to use, very precise !  ... Fantastic Georg You ROCK The link appeared… A lot to play with !! These are all fantastic Top quality And the watercolor serie already seems a joy to use It will take a bit of time to get the feeling of everyone Once again thanks a lot ! I will post some portraits soon. By the way i exclusively use your brushes for now!
Finch: Beautiful brushes. Thank you for making these!
monarobot: I just got the G-pen and woooow it's the o my brush I've found that is anywhere close the feel of the clip studio version, awesome job!
pixelsnplay: You had so many great brushes for free too that I went ahead and bought your MegaPack. Thanks for sharing :)
dankelby: Hi Georg, just wanted to drop in and say that I love all of your inkers, great job! I just purchased them and can't wait to work with them. Cheers!
Bos: Just tried the ELDER, and immediately bought the Megapack. Wonderful. I like how you inclined the shape of the brushes (a thing I had planned but not had the time to try) and played with pressure AND velocity together. I've redrawn a panel of mine to try, and love the Watterson, the Peyo and the Uderzo especially (but haven't had the time to ding into them all, yet). Very flowing, very natural, with and without the textures.
FranklinKendrick: I just purchased the mega pack as well and am blown away at how natural the brushes are. Haven't tried the pencil yet (I should have time later) but, now you really make me want to play around with it! I stayed up way too late doodling with some of the inks. These are so much better than the ones included by default in Procreate - and well worth the money. I originally got into Procreate because I wanted to do some detailed ink work and just never had the tools to do it digitally. Now, with my iPad Pro, I feel like I have the tablet I always dreamed of having ever since I learned that digital drawing was a possibility. Thank-you Georg vW! I am so excited to try drawing cartoons again with these brushes.
Philip R: I really love the brushes, Georg! Thanks for all the hard work! My main favorites are The PEYO, The BREUGAL, and The FURBALL. I can finally create digital art the way I imagine. I mainly use the brushes for cartoon illustrations.
bem69: Bought your MegaPack too, and enjoying all of the brushes. Awesome! ... I love your ink brushes. So much potential and so fun to use. Totally recommended for those who are still considering.  ... CAN'T WAIT FOR THE UPDATE! 
Batsquatch: yo georg, when are we getting the update- your brushes have CHANGED MY DIGITAL CARTOONING LIFE! I'm jonesin' for the new brushes! -Phil
kawoody: Hey Georg! I'm totally about to buy all these brushes. They look amazing! Just what I've been wanting!
Bas0411: Hi Georg, your brushes are great! My favourites at this moment are the Bruegel, the Watterson and the Yellow Kid, all of which I use daily. 
tmp2209: Thanks so much for the option Georg the brushes are spectacular, I picked them up last night and have been very happy with the results and look forward to your future brushes. Thanks again!
Klaas: I have been testing your brushes, George! They are great!
Caricature Shop: Truly enjoy these brushes!  ... Really appreciate the MegaPack addition! I was eagerly anticipating the DAVIS, but have to say that my new favorite is the STRATMORE. It's feel, flow and responsiveness makes it a notch above, in my experience. Thanks George!
DougHardy: Oh my god these are AMAZING
sajishtr: Installed cartoons Brush set. Installation was smooth as I used AirDrop to transfer .brush file from mac to ipad. (Pls. include this instruction in your website). I tried Watterson first, to my surprise I was able to achieve a lot in the very first attempt itself. Pls. find the sketch with the original on the side. THANKS A LOT!!
Kris_Lap: Hi, Done a Crumb copy from blue layer. Always with excellent Mort Drucker Brush. Better traditional feeling using those brushes / Procreate than with Manga Studio. (...) Keep up your genius work ! ... A MANGA STUDIO Robert Crumb Copy with Astropad Please compare previous post with Procreate copy and Georg vW Mort Drucker Brush, above. The Procreate app / Georg vW brushes combo is a far superior inking tool. I would tell it to the world (if i was famous)... 
Patman: Impressive brushes! 
Ripples: These are wonderful, Georg, and thank you very much again; an honour that you used the names, and I love the other names and set too. Looking forward to doing a painting over the next couple of days, and will post it up! Thanks so much for making these.
Anne R. Cutler: This is a crazy good deal… thank you! The Air-Drop method worked perfectly. 
nylontoast: I just bought your MegaPack, fantastic! wonderful work, can't wait to use all the brushes! 
Silpi: Thank´s GEORG wonderful work Hug
Jennifer Bannink: Exactly what I was looking for! Thank you so much, it's an amazing brush :)!! 
timskirven: Hi Georg - these brushes are fantastic!! Thanks for all your hard work.
Doomsayer: Thanks mate - love the set / have been playing with it all morning while my Christmas presents gather dust :) I did a bunch of alterations to the G-pen and it is really solid / I made it so that it can get a very scratchy, scetchy feel - first 2 panels are my old brushes / 2nd two is the new ones. Love the tone brushes btw!

20 Gifts For The Traveller In Your Life
Explore my gift guide for all the world travellers in your life! Covering everything from essentials to tech, clothing, footwear, inspiration & more.
Shake it like a polaroid picture! An Instax instant camera makes the perfect gift, printing out cute little polaroids instantly & making memorable keepsakes for life. In a world of digital images and phone photography, its a good feeling to be able to hold an actual photo in your hands. Get it here. Available in a few different colours.
2. This is kind of a no brainer, but a journal & an inky black pen is a gift that's always appreciated. It's a great way to pass time on long flights or while relaxing on the beach, and of course perfect to keep track of everything you get up to while in exotic lands. Write about all the places you visit everyday, doodle little images that have stuck in your brain, note down funny or cool stories you've heard from locals. It'll become a precious trip down memory lane when you're older.
Available on Fancy
Available on PropShop24
Available on PropShop24
3. Classic black sneakers will save your day almost every single day. Packing light is essential to an enjoyable holiday, and nothing is as versatile as a dark black shoe (that's comfy AF). Matches everything. Keeps your feet happy during the insane amounts of walking you will inevitably do on any vacation. Remember to always buy half a size bigger than your usual size when it comes to sneaks or closed shoes that are worn for long durations.
For Her
For Him
4. Also a total no brainer. Probably the most useful small object that can be packed on any trip. I bought one for my dad 8 years ago (he goes into the mountains to hike at least 3-4 times a year) and he takes it on every trip he goes on without fail. Get the original Victorinox version for guaranteed quality & flawless design.
5. Good sleep = happy travels. Get this set from Chumbak.
6. Music is essential for long journeys, long layovers and even longer sleepless jet-lagged nights. These headphones from Sony are tried & tested, have a clean, classic design and solid, dependable, clear sound without breaking the bank. Available in a variety of colours too. Available on Amazon.
7. Make your passport look oh so pretty, and safe from bending, scratches & other damages. Shop the beachy one here & the coordinated Mr&Mrs set here. Both from PropShop24.
8. Imagine getting to a far-off destination after months of planning and realising you can't charge any of your stuff. Prevent a nightmare with this international travel adaptor, available here.
9. I recently got into adult colouring books and found that it calms me down and passes time blissfully like very few other things. I have this Lost Ocean book and just can't get enough. The images are large, the pages are thick and creamy, and the designs are intricate and truly stunning. Apt for a rainy day or for inspiration in between travels. Add a set of Staedtler Water Colour pencils (the best ever), which are perfectly smooth colour pencils that transform to water colour when you run a wet brush over the paper. They allow for shading, blending, and shadowing, and don't seep through to the other side. Get the book here and the pencils here.
10. A sleek & durable carry-on roller makes for effortless travel. I prefer hard cases over soft because they also make a great footrest at airports, and because your delicate stuff (like make-up & electronics) stays safe & secure. A gunmetal grey or similar neutral tone looks best. Get this one here.
11. Trust me when I say you don't want to take an expensive watch on holiday (or any expensive jewellery for that matter). Watches tend to get stolen, lost, damaged or even broken quite easily. My partner had his watch stolen right off his hand in Barcelona without even realising it was gone for a good 20 minutes. These inexpensive yet cute watches will help you keep track of the local time no matter where you are, without the stress of potentially losing something very valuable.
For Her
For Him
12. An icy bed is nothing to look forward to, so all the cold weather travellers rejoice! This plug in heating pad is the ideal way to warm up your bed before tucking yourself in and can be a real life saver in extreme climates. You can even leave it on next to you or near your feet and go to sleep for guaranteed toasty-ness. Being snug as a bug just took on a whole new meaning. Shop here.
13. A classic beige double breasted trench coat is an extremely versatile closet staple that everyone needs. It makes a great gift because it's lightweight and easy to pack, thin enough for a slight nip in the air but can be worn with layers for added warmth, it's a piece that will never ever go out of style, and of course it just looks so cute when worn with just about anything from jeans and a t-shirt to a formal dress and heels. This glorious one is available on Asos.
14. Ever try to climb some rocks barefoot to jump into the sea? Or tried to go snorkelling barefoot and stepped on all sorts of pokey, spiky things while entering the water? I have and yeah, it's not fun. Shoes that can be worn into the water and while swimming are a lifesaver, they will protect your feet from cuts, scratches, bruises and even sharp objects & creatures on the sea floor (such as sea urchins). They're also ideal for light hiking & trekking through rivers, streams, lakes, puddles and along the sea shore. The low rise slip-ons are better for less intense activity such as snorkelling or swimming in rocky oceans, whereas the lace-up versions will take you through a forest walk and through a rivulet with ease.
Pink & grey from Speedo, available here.
The mesh openings on the soles of the shoe let all the water out, keeping your feet ultra comfy.
Shop here.
For the boys. Blue & black slip-ons available here.
A great water shoe by Adidas that users swear by. Shop here.
15. A solar powered battery pack to charge all your gear on the go, shop now.
16. For the ocean lover in your life who just can't get enough of the big blue sea. Shop from Fancy.
17. A set of refillable plastic bottles for all your shower needs that meet international carry-on regulations. A clear plastic pouch helps you get through security checks with ease. Buy here.
18. With an anti-glare screen and a travel friendly hand-held size, a Kindle is the best company. Store thousands of books & magazines, and read them anywhere from the beach, to a boat or a plane or the back of a bike. For the book worm traveller who never leaves home without something to read. Shop here.
19. Thin, luxurious, ultra absorbent & quick-drying towels made of 100% cotton. No more packing bulky towels that take up half your bag and take ages to dry. Not to forget that they're allergen free (since they're pure cotton) and won't irritate even the most sensitive skin. Get them here.
20. Amazon Prime Video is a great way to watch all the latest movies, tv shows and entertainment on a variety of different devices. They can be saved to offline mode so you can watch on the go and never miss any of your favourites. Plus watching a movie in bed is such a lovely way to spend a jet-lagged or tired evening when you just need to unwind from the hecticness of travel. For this you will need to purchase an Amazon Gift Card worth a minimum of Rs.500 and then tell the receiver of the gift card to redeem it on getting a Prime membership (which also includes free 1-2 day shipping on applicable items, apart from a whole world of movies & shows).
I hope my gift guide inspired you to get something fabulous for the jet-setter in your life. All these gifts are not only unique, but also useful, with direct links to shop each piece. This is a completely unsponsored post and I do not make any commission on pieces that are sold through any of these sites. This is simply my list of gifts any traveller would love to get! I'll be back soon with more content, just for you! xx
