A very Babbit monologue, ft. Sundrop in distress and a self insert trying to comfort him
In which Sun is shaken up and disturbed by some sudden shocking tragedy and asks Babbit (a self insert of me lol sorry) about the confusing feelings he can’t seem to get rid of. Babbit, in an attempt to comfort him, does what they do best,,,,,,,, ramble incoherently <3
(aka just a bunch of stuff I would say to someone confused and distressed by the way life-altering tragedies can just happen for no real reason or smthn idk I just work here lol bye)
(transcription of dialogue below the cut !)
.page1.
“What’s the matter? You good?”
"Well, it's... I still feel that- that shaky feeling."
"The sad and anxious one?"
"Yes, that!"
"When does that stop??"
“HOW do you go back to normal?? When you know things like THAT could happen at any time?”
“Just thinking about it... How does anyone ever FORGET that??”
.page2.
"Well,, you don't. Not really."
"At first it feels like it's all... too much to handle. Like it's suffocating you, knowing."
"For a while, the world will feel like a ticking bomb and you're the only ones who knows. Sometimes it's too much, and you can't move. Sometimes you're just mad."
"But you figure out how to carry on, one day at a time."
.page3.
"You realize one day that just because it CAN happen, most of the time, you walk past those potential bad things completely untouched, none the wiser."
"You learn that life is unpredictable, but... to dread every second means you miss the good bits, and maybe that's the worst thing you can do."
"And then one day, you wake up and realize
you can breathe."
.page4.
"Ok well w- what I mean is,, You don't go back to 'normal,' but the bad feelings don't last forever. You'll get happiness back, and the perspective to appreciate it, I guess?"
"..."
"I- I don't know if that helps, actually,, haha,,, sorry for rambling lol,,"

bro your pepperman and peppino comic hasn’t left my brain since i saw it. i just love the dynamic of a ginormous freak and peppino being both intimidated and flustered.. bro i wish there was more of those two
I should draw them some more bc i really like the dynamic ive written for them 😊 For u anon, i will share some minor (silly) thoughts ive had about them
-Pepperman absolutely has a little baby crush on this man. TEENY TINY. The kind of crush that means nothing- hes a little 💅🏾 and hes an artist like ur gonna be a little gay w all of the friends you make; thats just the way it goes 😭 Like Peppino is sooooo handsome and soooo strong and he can cook and hes smart and he doesnt stand down when confronted (he LOVES this the most). So people in Peppermans Rich Friend circle notice the complete 180 his personality does when Peppino is invited to outings. Its not that Pepperman is being weird and shallow or fake, its that Peppino is probably his First Friend that wasnt rich and snobbish in anyway. Some part of him really REALLY wants to impress Peppino and it makes him act a little ‘foolish’ heehee 😊
-Following up on this, Pepperman visits the pizzeria out of the blue like MONTHS after he first invites Peppino out for the art sessions and like okay maybe they are friends MAYBE…but like he is still kind of anxious bc the last time he came here he almost got his skinned so part of him is like ‘maybe hes only amicable bc feels obligated to cooperate within the walls of my studio…’ BUT he shuffles awkwardly into the shop and Peppino not only waves but SMILES at him while hes attending to a customer and Pepperman is like ‘HEEEHEEUHEEHOOO………….’
-Peppermans art is worth a fortune; he is very well respected in the art world and any pieces hes made (including self portraits) are absolutely stunning. His abstract art is as beautiful as his realism; auctioning them off and doing occasional commission work is how hes acquired most of his wealth. Because of this, it is a MASSIVE show of good faith and comradery that Pepperman will often gift art to Peppino. Unfortunately, Peppino will not accept statues or huge marble sculptures BUT Pepperman is delighted to see Peppino accept paintings and mini sculptures, even if he LOOKS a bit confused about it 😭
-SO… when Pepperman comes by the shop some weeks later, he is overwhelmingly excited to see one of his pieces hung up on the walls. The feeling of having his art fawned over in an art exhibit does not even BEGIN to compare to the excitement of seeing his art being displayed in this common mans shop. Its a portrait of Peppino, stylized, w some funky lookin colors. Nothing fancy or particularly evocative. Just. Peppino! Looking a bit wistful with colors winding around him.
Even Peppino is like (snrk) “Dont you have your fancy arts in a museum or something? Dont see the big deal ‘bout ‘a this.” But its HUGE its like…suddenly it is not just his muse entertaining his artistic vision…his muse VALUES his artistic vision………..it makes him SO happy. He thinks about it for days. Its like; he had no idea that this is what it felt like to have…inspiration and motivation from an Outside source. His art, while breathtaking, felt like it lacked something…Rich. Years and years of self reflection and introspection and Never expanding his horizons, never realizing he was Capable of expanding his horizons until now…he is just a lucky little pepper 🫑🌶✨

obsessed with the idea of super! robin helping nancy like. rearrange her furniture.
like it's somewhere between nancy finding out that robin's the supergirl but before they're actually together ya know? but nancy's like, "hey rob, can you help me move my couch?" and robin agrees because 1.) gay 2.) the couch weighs nothing to her so sure why not?
this becomes a regular occurrence for the two (though it's really just an excuse for nancy to have robin in her apartment.)
(nancy also totally does not use it as an excuse to accidentally catch a glimpse of super!robin's abs.)

The Toki situation is heartbreaking. In one breath these jackasses talk about how smart orcas are, and in the next they celebrate tearing her from her surroundings and taking everything she knows away. She's an elderly animal. That's the time in their life where they need attention and care for their needs as they live their final years. Knowing She's going to pass away alone like that... ugh.
Yeah. I don’t think people realize that, in all likelihood, Toki does not remember the Salish Sea or her wild family. She was still so young when captured. The Seaquarium, for better or for worse, is the only home she knows. Taking her away now won’t make up for the horrible experience she endured as a youngster—it’ll just recreate it. Only now, she isn’t a healthy young animal. She’s 58 years old and in declining health. People have been so misled by activists and the media into thinking that killer whales routinely live to be 100 years old, when in actuality 50 years is the average life expectancy of a female orca. In fact, Toki is older than every other living Southern Resident Killer Whale besides L25 Ocean Sun (commonly touted as her mother, although this has never been confirmed).

Cursed Princes AU - Emittere
Have another side character introduction for this au! Infos are under the picture.
Luckily you have a close friend at the castle. When you were new at the castle Emittere was the first person that tried learning more about you. She is Sun's and Moon's cousin (which you didn't knew from the start. It took you a month or two to figure that out and it was quite the surprise!) Her mother, Nebula, is the king's sister. Emittere is quite the opposite of her mother and for being part of the royal family she is very humble and shy. Just a sweet girl. You like spending time with her. Drinking some tea together at the fountain in the castle's garden or talking about the books she lends you and listening to each others thoughts after reading them. Sometimes she will even surprise you with some self-made cookies! You like to call her Em or Emi, when it's just the two of you. She doesn't mind the nickname and is just happy to have found a friend around her age in you.
Other than Sun and Moon Emittere is rather wary of her mother's words and actions. She doesn't know what Nebula is trying to achieve. But she doubts that it's anything good... Too bad that she doesn't know more to be able to proof it to someone.
Emittere's name is the latin word for emit:
So where her mother (Nebula) is based on a dark nebula that absorbs the light behind it. Emittere is based on an emission nebula that emits light in different colors. (At least that's what the wiki page told me.)
_
I really like her design. She looks so sweet. Please, be nice to her.
Also have the sketch version from before I made the digital drawing:

Writing Luka's page today and oh boy is it a pain to figure out an age for him. I want him to be around Seele's age, not too much older or too much younger since I personally see them as very close (pseudo) adopted siblings with Seele being the more responsible one....
Which means figuring out an age for Seele.
It never ends.

Helios: And mortals think their life is hard? For what? Their grandmothers treating them as youngsters when they're 18 or something? Come on! My sister Selene keeps treating me like a child when i'm already 4,603 billion years old!
