Oh, what about Gerry and 13?
💖
Tumblr media
[ID: A traditional drawing with watercolor colors showing Gerard Keay crawling out of the Skin Book. He is a pale, thin man visible from the waist up, where his body begins to emerge from the pages in a pool of blood. He slouches forward, his dark hair hanging over his face. He is unclothed and his exposed skin is raw and bloody, with eye-shaped tattoos visible over his joints. Around him, various hands reach towards him, some touching. One is notably pockmarked and holds a zippo lighter. The background is a dramatic dark maroon, and the color immediately around Gerry is a bright red. Text on the image reads: "Choice is just a fable for the weak." End ID.]
13. The Chase - Caleb Hayashida
hi i fully forgot to post this so WHOOPS but this combo was SOOOO fun to mash up. Gerry of TMA and the literal climax of Moby Dick in song form is not a pairing I would've picked but the lyrics are soooooooo tasty when I get real sad about it. Oh Gerry my friend Gerry.
thank you again for the request An!!! :D

hello gamers! I am soon to be between jobs and going to open up 4 comm slots to start off! 💙💙
[ID: Several images advertising commissions on a purple background.
Image 1: "@mossy-rainfrog commissions! Will draw: Original characters, real people, nonsexual/artistic nudity, fan art, some gore, some erotica. Will not draw: Mecha, vehicles, hyper-detailed scenery."
Image 2: An example of an original character drawn with lines only, flat colors, and then full colors, each with prices listed. TEXT: "Lines - $20 bust - $25 half body - $30 full-body. Flats - $25 bust - $30 half body - $40 full body. Full color - $30 bust - $40 half body, $50 full body. Note: Sketch and lines will ALWAYS be traditional, and pieces with color will always be digital unless otherwise requested.
Image 3: "Add-ons: Additional characters are 50% of base price. Complex props an additional $10 each. Background options (simple color shape is no extra fee): - Simple prop background +$10. Simple background setting +$25. Complex background +$40."
Image 4: "How to order: DM me on tumblr @mossy-rainfrog or email me at [email protected] with the type of commission, subject(s), and descriptions or references (the more the better!). Will send a preliminary sketch, after which I will send a PayPal/venmo invoice. Excessive changes (more than 4) will incur an additional fee of $10. After such, 50% refunds will be available up until completion. Turnaround time will be 1-3 weeks depending on complexity. Updates will be sent with lines, colors, backgrounds, or other piece milestones! :) Final product will be a PNG file sent via email."
Image 5: "A note on potential spicy commissions: As with all other commissions, I reserve the right to not draw anything I don’t feel comfortable with! I’ll tell you right off the bat, that includes incest, pedophilia, bestiality, assault, etc. NSFW commissions will ONLY be considered if requested by adults!! These will work the same as other comms, but likely will involve a bit longer of an initial conversation (just for comfort <3). ( I’m not exactly putting a portfolio for these on main, BUT you can see my nsfw work over on my side blog:
@mossy-rainfuck :3)"
Image 6: "Terms of service: Payment after initial sketch in USD. Cancelled commissions after confirming the initial sketch will be refunded 50% (up until completion). These are for personal use only! These works are NOT to be resold or used for any sort of commercial use. For personal use, credit should be linked back to me. I reserve the right to decline any commission request for any reason. Thank you!! :3" End ID.]

Build A Cowboy Round 5!
Hi good evening sorry for vanishing OK SO i mentioned in the tags of my first poll that this cowboy is not just going to be a vaguely historical cowboy, but from a Very specific time frame, because of the fic that his partner Javi exists in. That being said, there is a lot to unpack here with this! The time period exactly is 1841, the setting is Texas (because I am texan and we are predictable) and oh my god this is one of the most insane times for a character to be from texas 😭
Our cowboy will have in fact lived through the Mexican War of Independence (1810-1821), the Texas Revolution (1835-1836), tx's CRINGEFAIL attempt at self governing, rapidly approaching our annexation into the US in 1844-5, and then coming right up on the fuckign CIVIL WAR in 1861. These guys deeply understand the concept of "get me the fuck out of the interesting times, im sick of the interesting times". im so sorry cowboys, you can blame Herman Melville for this.
anyways yall didnt come here for a history lesson but you are in fact going to get one because i am insufferable first and an artist second :) and also as a note, race and backstory are always intertwined things but Especially when it is fuckign 1841 so. yeah exercise caution, there will be discussion of racism, medical close-calls, and anti-indigenous genocide. PLEASE ACTUALLY READ THE BACKGROUNDS BEFORE CHOOSING ONE! you dont have to read the sources. those are just there because i have autism. 👍
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
DETAILS BELOW THE READMORE BC I GOT WAYYY TOO WORDY⬇️
BACKSTORY A: Black Cowboy fled Texas* to Oklahoma with his family after the revolution, now travels up the trade routes breaking wild horses, passing along abolitionist messages, and assisting refugees. A miracle baby surviving a cleft lip with limited surgery and sustained permanent hearing damage as a result, he took up the trade of horsebreaking with flying colors, keeping right up with his older brothers. A sharp shot, keen eye, and a talented horseman, his best trained horses help him identify sounds that he otherwise can't hear. Loosely familiar with PSL, but primarily used a mix of lip-reading, localized/community generated sign growing up.
* After the US aided Texas in staging a coup against Mexico and declaring independence, an ordinance passed in 1836 that fully banished free Black people from the region unless they had personal pardon from Congress. This ordinance was not passed without pushback, and it changed shape and restriction over the years as people of color such as Joseph Tate, John and Charity Bird, Diana Leonard, Allen Dimery, and more all fought for their right to their own lands and lives. The law eventually settled into what was known as the Ashworth Act in 1840, which allowed free Black people to stay IF they had been residing in the state before 1836. It certainly wasn't the victory many had hoped, and even though many free Black persons in Texas were granted pardon to stay, like the Ashworths who the act was named after, many others were forced to leave after their allotted time was up, and were threatened with the future of slavery should they return. thank you texas history for being a vile piece of shit 👍
BACKSTORY B: Mexican/Tejano Vaquero from West Texas whose family has been ranching and cattle driving for decades. Has no interest in moving post-revolution, fuck you very much. If the borders are going to cross his family without asking*, then there's no need to cross them back. Technically lives with his family, but spends extensive periods of time away from home on cattle drives. Steady-handed, steadfast, quick to keep his herd safe. Miraculously survived a cleft lip as a baby and sustained permanent hearing damage** as a result, but that didn't stop his father from teaching him everything he knew, nor our man from taking to it like a fish to water. Knows more about cattle driving than you will ever forget.
*Some brief notes on the borders shifting and alienating people in their own rightful land.
**There was no official sign language of Mexico until the first Deaf school was established in 1869, but he and his family likely have a community-based one that works for them.
BACKSTORY C: Coahuiltecan (specifically Payaya)* cowboy, farrier, and leatherworker. Picked up the line of work as family was pushed to assimilate, one of the few still claiming Coahuiltecan identity at this time**, and has made a good living for himself and his sisters with it. Like the others, miraculously survived a cleft lip as a child but sustained permanent hearing damage as a result. Knows Plains Indian Sign fluently, and also relies on the direction of his horse for picking up sudden sounds before he can spot them. Tries to keep his work as local as possible to avoid separation from family for long, and whenever that is necessary, makes sure to come back soon.
*Note: Coahuiltecan is a term referring to several northern-Mexican and southern-Texan autonomous groups with distinct cultural differences. However, since Spanish and French colonizers lumped these groups together, an immense amount of distinguishing knowledge has since been lost.
** Also note: the Tāp Pīlam Coahuiltecan Nation is still very much around today (check out their site!) but nearing the mid 19th century, people at least claiming/listing this heritage on legal documents dwindled immensely for a variety of reasons.

soooooooo, without further ado...
Tumblr media
[ID: A sketchy, traditional drawing of two people on horses, one distinctly drawn as a larger man with a dark beard in cowboy attire, and the other left as loose sketches.

There'll be about 10 rounds of this with each poll lasting 24 hours, and hopefully it'll be both a fun time for y'all as well as a neat challenge for me! I'll be uploading a lil doodle to go with every round that will update as our boy takes shape :D

Some Anti-AI banners i made, anyone is free to use them, no credit necessary. Light mode and Dark mode versions.
Art and writing and people’s rights need to be protected, and AI has been used already to steal, plagiarize, and be used to threaten people using deepfakes.
As an artist and a writer, it’s an insult to my craft to see AI “works” along side mine.
Like i said, anyone is welcome to save/put these banners on their blog, or on posts, please just reblog this if you do.

[ID: Six black and white traditional drawings of Captain Ahab and Mr. Starbuck from Moby Dick genderbent as women. The first four drawings are individual character design for each woman, and the last two show the characters interacting, and kissing. More detailed ID in ALT text.]
yeah ok so i read a rly deeply phenomenal Holmes genderbend fic by @dickwheelie a bit ago and it inspired me to go insane abt genderbending my own classic lit men so. voila pls enjoy starhab but as butches.
some thoughts: I think both Ahab and Starbuck initially were "undercover" as men at whaling and then Ahab eventually started doing whatever once she got relative job security, but Starbuck goes back and forth on what presentation she's comfortable with. gender is weird for both of them but still giving very bigender vibes from Starb. they both go by 'sir' still tho. designs based on @pocketsizedquasar 's designs as always :3
i have more detailed thoughts but the big points summarize to: women hot. capt ahab can do whatever she wants to me. i heart toxic doomed yuri. free palestine. send tweet.
