I think solving counting sheep should be required reading for people who aren't used to using it/its pronouns for a character

I will not answer any asks about Buddy that misgender it.

I get that not everyone has read its story, where it thinks of itself as "it" and "itself" in the narration for twenty-six thousand words straight, where after its crew separate their perception of it from its host they call it "it," and where there is an author's note where I explicitly state its pronouns are it/its. However even here on this blog, in my text and art, I only ever refer to Buddy with it/its.

I don't understand how people, after months of Buddy existing as a character, can claim to enjoy this character and misgender it in the same breath. I know it's most likely an honest mistake or oversight, I get that some people aren't used to using it/its for anything not a monster or object, but that doesn't make it any less frustrating

it uses it/its pronouns

#thoughts #and for that matter . Actual Real People . because if this boggles my mind I cannot imagine what Real it/its users go thru

#thoughts #this is not directed at any one person #just seen enough people use the wrong pronouns for so long and it's made me frustrated #it's been an unspoken rule I've been following and now! it is a spoken rule #I suppose this is also a call for people to tell why they've been using he for it? because I am curious over the thought process

I know this is your art blog, but I got one question about the Masked for ya!

At one point is a host no longer suitable for a Mask? How important is blood to the process?

I love getting asks about masked!! I have lots of thoughts about their biology

SO

A mask can't really choose its host. it's pure reflex to possess the wearer. and a mask can't move on its own (though I love the headcanons people have that they can skitter around), so a mask is stuck with the body it has until that body wears out. holding up a mask to your face takes longer, because the mask is storing energy to lash out and take root into the face all at once. a masked turning someone else into a mask is a much faster process because the blood melts the face into a soft slurry that's easy for the new mask to burrow into

a masked is very sturdy and alters its host's body to better suit its needs. it doesn't feel pain. the blood is completely fine inside its body but at certain chemical triggers it boils and eats through flesh and bone. it pushes the body to its limits to chase and move. it will keep walking until the cartilage in its joints rots and the bones lock up and the muscles turn to slop in its body.

the very purpose of a masked is to make more masked, so that's why they produce so much Juice, to make the masking process fast and simple. even if a masked is fully rotting away and can't stand, it's still Full Of Blood, and would drag its decaying body to the nearest employee to still attack. a host becomes "unsuitable" as soon as the masked can't ambulate with it, but it'll still stay attached to it, even if very loosely (a masked's roots will start to die near the end of the host's use, for easier detachment)

if a host's use isn't cut short, and is allowed to decay fully, there is a point where it is a functionally useless body festering on the ground with severe internal bleeding, waiting for a scavenger animal to come eat it and dislodge the mask so the cycle can start again.

theyre neat <3

YEAH it also felt weird to draw out its skin. I should draw a chart of its decomposition sometime because I have thought about it A Lot . this here is fairly early on (thought at least a few days old, as the bruising's quite set in). in due time the skin will split and liquefy and sort of melt into the suit; the suit makes the host last longer because it's so airtight. but don't take it off. or else

buddy found it in a closet on rend and put it on when nobody was looking

(this was also an excuse to draw its decaying corpse skin. its body produces blood so readily that it bruises its joints just by moving)

((wonderful image in the corner by @egg-exe . maid dress scribbled on by me))

#rb #thoughts #the skin eventually disconnects from the sinew and subcutaneous fat etc etc and sloughs. pleasant!

#my art #lethal company #masked #oc: buddy #not sure how to tag its Corpse Bruising:tm: so . if anyone needs that tagged somehow lmk #VERY pleased with how its skin came out. rendering bruising is fun apparently #it doesn't know it but it'd be soothed by several ice packs

COMMISSIONS ARE OPEN!

hi! comms are open!

As I am very new to commissions, I will be very open to feedback throughout the process! I will send you updates throughout the sketching process for tweaks. Thumbnails are appreciated.

While most people here know I draw Ultrakill, The Upturned, Lethal Company, and such, I will happily draw from other fandoms and I will draw your OCs, if provided references!

I would also be happy to draw objects, but since that can be quite the range of complexity, you'll have to ask me for an estimate.

Payments will be collected upfront through PayPal invoice; if I don't finish the commission within 4 weeks, I'll issue a refund. If you are interested, email [[email protected]] or DM me here.

Slot 1: Open! Slot 2: Open! Slot 3: Open!

#srb #breadwinner of my household got fired so anything is appreciated rn
