#I was at the beach and said this

Uhm uhm uhhh INCREDIBLY self indulgent Trolls Au that's centered around John Dory and Bruce called Beach Bros bc I like them and I think there should be more content surrounding them as a duo *looks at you with my big wet eyes*

EXTREMELY short explanation + design refs under the cut! CW for mentions of drowning

There's a lot I got planned for it but for now the basics is that after I'd say around 8-10 years after Brozone split up, John Dory received the postcard that Bruce sent him. Now bc JD believed none of the other trolls were alive (since he went back after all the pop trolls escaped Bergen Town and found the Troll Tree empty) JD was ECSTATIC to find out that at least one of his brothers was still alive and immediately began searching for Bruce. Took him about a couple of days but eventually JD managed to locate Vacay Island!

And then almost drowned while crossing the waters... On Bruce's fucking wedding day.

After that ordeal, JD decides to live with Bruce and Brandi on Vacay Island!

Again there's a LOT more to it but it's late and I am extremely tired, I'm gonna go to sleep lol. ALSO if y'all have any questions abt the au, feel free to ask! I'd be more than happy to answer them as best as I can :] !!!!

(also while making designs for them I accidentally made JD look much younger than Bruce I think, oops 😔)

#Dreamworks said “lets give Branch not one but TWO cool eldest brothers” and then they cooked #I love Bruce and John Dory so so so so sooo much yall plz bear with me here AUGH #but i HATE drawing their jackets/vests!!! Especially Bruce's vest #so many flowers.... #but i draw them anyways havudnsidj #trolls #trolls band together #john dory trolls #trolls john dory #trolls bruce #bruce trolls #beach bros au #cherris canvas #cw near death experience #<- for the almost drowning part #yall i love making AUs so much its unreal

"we're gonna be really late, y'know?" you whisper against nanami's shoulder, your words cut off by a sudden gasp that slips out of your lips without you realising. once your breath steadies and your shaking thighs can support you again, you continue. "the reservation is at seven, and it's nearly --"

"then we'll be late," he replies, pressing an adoring kiss against the crown of your head, "they can wait."

even now, he seems effortlessly composed. the only hint of any loss of control is how his chest rises and falls slightly faster than normal, paired with the faintest pink flush spreading across his cheekbones. besides that, he seems completely unperturbed at the idea of missing a reservation at his favourite restaurant.

"that's out o-of character," you mumble fondly, feeling the fabric of the couch imprint against your knees as you lower yourself down again, your grip on nanami's bare shoulders leaving little crescent-moon indentations on his skin. "you-you're the punctual one, aren't you?"

a shift of his thighs beneath your own and his hips are pressed flush against yours, the thrust knocking the air from your chest.

"the difference is," he says, deep voice hushed but tinged with barely-concealed lust, "that i only watch the clock for things i don't like doing. and right now, i can't think of any place else i'd rather be than-" - he pulls out, letting air back into your lungs, before grabbing your hips and speeding up the rhythm until your vision blurs, "- right here, with you looking so pretty on top of me."

based off an actual thing that happened to me

#my art #stardew #stardew valley #stardew sebastian #so the story is #i was in this antique store because I wanted to browse the place #and i eyed this jar of seashells that was labelled 1998 #it looked cool #the lady at the counter saw me and said oh those were handpicked from #some beach on the east coast #and i #The idiot stick riddled with social illness #said oh haha nice #and then we had a painfully one sided conversation on said jar of shells #I was the only person in that store #so i felt stupidly obligated to buy them #and I did #now they sit on my desk and I don’t know what to do with them

I'm incredibly soft about the fact that the people Caleb shares a sending stone with aren’t the mighty nein members who live furthest away, but the ones who live the closest. That, when also taking into account the easy invitation to dinner and request for a spare bedroom (and the mention that Caleb has the worst timing when calling, implying he calls often) makes so much known about their domestic lives. How often does Yasha make a quick call to invite Caleb for dinner to try some new (barely edible) dish? How often do Caleb and Beau stay up late doing research, with him staying the night in the guest room? How often does Caleb call in the middle of the night with a question?

The nein getting together for adventuring is fun, but man, I'd absolutely sit down for a few hours of them just being domestic and settled like this.

#i'd love something like the more laidback vox machina episodes #like when they all get back together after the time skip for a beach vacation #or the little bits and bobs like pike dealing with her family or them trying to hire someone for the bakery #low stakes plots like that #give me more post canon oneshots i crave them please #critical role #caleb widogast #someone (i think it was marisha?) said during the wrap up that a rumblecusp oneshot would be fun #and yasha and beau both gushed during the reunion about wanting to return to rumblecusp at some point #so it might not be fully wishful thinking? #fingers crossed for future oneshots/miniarcs: rumblecusp and molaesmyr #nella talks cr

JACK THE GIANT KILLER

originally this was a kind of personal visual vibe test: I'm still turning some thoughts around about jack in my head (altho I have finished assembling the skeleton of a story and I'm looking forward to seeing what happens when I start to press at it) but I really liked how it turned out so I'm posting it as it's own illustration :)

the first post about this idea is over here, but I've fine tuned it down a bit so that the story begins with jack finding the body of a giant while he's out in the woods one day, and the story spirals out of hand before he can stop it.

it's been interesting to read up on jack tales from a literary analysis point of view while I figure this story out!! and through the power of more coffee, I think. I'm close to pinning down an underlying theme I'd really like to bite into. I just need to condense it down to a couple of sentences instead of several paragraphs.

and to close this post out, here's another excerpt from the j.g. ballard's the drowned giant that haunts me!

bsky ⭐ pixiv ⭐ pillowfort ⭐ cohost ⭐ cara ⭐ ko-fi

#i had a whole thing about why i dont link to my ko-fi on art posts but a friend said i should at least do it on original art #also cara seems to be promising as an art porfolio site? if you're looking to jump off of dA because it sucks ass. cara looks good so far! #OKAY moving on from that. in my head there is also a weird fucked up story about the drowned giant I would love #to turn into a short comic. maybe early next year? I think I need to go to a beach and do some studies because in my mind #it has a very specific visual and tone. hmmmmmm. #I had a very vivid dream abt it and I want to attempt to capture it down onto paper #and moving on from THAT. to the man himself. jack. ohhhhhh can you imagine if someone would’ve done a fucked up grim dark #Jack novel in 2013 or something. I would’ve eaten that like a cake. this isn’t an intentionally grim dark retelling although it is. grim. #original tag #generic medieval tag

I know some folks have been saying “Ed wanted to die in the same place he laid next to Stede-“ WRONG! HE WANTED TO DIE WHERE STEDE LAID NEXT TO HIM!!!

The place Auntie points out as being where his head was crushed by the cannon ball is the exact spot where Stede’s head had been during the arrest and that’s even more insane than the first option. (Anyway, I wanted to correct that assumption. It’s only a matter of like 2 feet, but I still find it an important detail, and figured a visual might help!)

#Cae Has Lots of Feelings About Our Flag Means Death #GUYS- #HE LAID DOWN IN ONE OF THE LAST PLACES STEDE WAS ON THE REVENGE #HE LET HIS BODY BREAKDOWN AND GIVE TO THE TIRE RIGHT ON THAT SPOT #HE WANTED TO DIE ON THE EXACT SPOT THAT STEDE LOOKED AT HIM AND SAID “You came back.” #I am screaming and crying and feeling every emotion humanly possible #I need us all to know that Edward Teach born on a beach wanted to spend his last moments in a place he remembers so fondly #Despite all the chaos of the British Invasion he smiled while he was arrested #Looking at Stede and waiting to see whatever happened as long as they saw it together #And now Stede's gone #But Edward will be too.

ok but speaking from experience as someone who's had first kisses w a crush. y'all KNOW ed was getting his plan in place thinking abt that kiss the whole time, playing over every tiny detail while he robbed a guy for a dinghy. motherfucker probably got all fluttery and giggly thinking abt the little noise stede made. probably couldn't stop smiling when he thought abt the way stede's jaw fit perfectly in his hand. probably sat down to take a minute when he remembered how stede's eyes took a moment to flutter back open. probably got DIZZY thinking abt stede's crooked smile and the way he'd whispered, "you make stede happy"

rolling up to the dock with his bag of stuff already planning how he's gonna kiss stede again, kiss him properly, as soon as they're safely away. maybe thinking he won't be able to wait, that he'll kiss him again as soon as he sees him because his heart literally feels like it's going to burst out of his chest he's so, so happy

Your pastimes consisted of the strange And twisted and deranged And I love that little game you had called "Crying Lightning"

detail + musings below

I haven't been able to stop thinking about that trailer! I'm so unbelievably hyped for this and Kojima's next espionage game (MGS 3 is one of my all time fave games! ahhhh! ❤️)

I miss the old Higgs' design, it was very strong but maybe this clown will grow on me, who knows lol. I can't believe I actually wanted to draw those equations on his forehead (I used to find it tedious. I took them for granted 😭)

something cool I noticed when drawing this: the makeup below his eyes appear to be inspired by the stripes you see on Nemes - the striped headcloths worn by pharaohs. unrelated to DS but about the song I chose: it's one of my fave Arctic Monkeys songs, I heard it live and I haven't been the same since - it gives me Higgs vibes! one of the interpretations on Genius suggested that "crying lightning" refers to the streaks that form on someone's face when their mascara runs.

#ds2 #death stranding 2 #higgs monaghan #ds fanart #death stranding #ds higgs #i guess that's what too much Beach does to a mf?? #hc if he was trapped with Heartman - he said he hated clowns once and Higgs never let it go lol #you know what i just might turn into a clown too by next year #me rereading all this: peak 🤡 behavior #anywaaaay i'm gonna go scream into the void about this #kept us waiting huh? 😭 #also consider: “You're So Dark” by AM 👀 “got that obsession with death” omgg
