what if i snapped and made an oc carrd
#i mean.... i could#this isnt the first time ive thought of doing it but i drop ocs so easily its not even funny. so idk if itd be worth it#id consider toyhouse or smth but i dont have money lol. right now everythings on artfight but thats more for drawing purposes#what ocs would i even talk abt... i have some standalones like auggie and ocs i think look cool but dont plan on using#but some others have their own stories.. not like a huge thought out plot but something i pick up and twirl around in my head#like luckys whole deal is being a hiking guide who accidentally gets tied up with some werewolves pretending to be a hiking group to eat pp#and then i have the magician rivals. although i kinda wanna tie theirs with the nightguard and thief story ive been cooking. maybe in the#same universe? it would be pretty funny if they lived in the same apartment complex since a couple stories i have in mind revolve around th#its like some sort of omnibus or anthology to me. kicks my feet#and then fan characters like xin ya and sleight who i want to have their own expanded lore and stuff. i think that would be cool#im making crow a powerpoint of xins updated lore but the assignmence are making it hard. hopefully it turns out good though#i have a hard time writing personality and xins is always the hardest bc theyre probably the least like me. i tend to stick to#characters similar to myself to get in their head. but bc their backstory affects their personality so strongly i have to do some thinking#anyway. hopefully i remember this later#yapping#oc#oc talk#ive also been playing neko atsume recently for nostalgia and why did we as a society ever stop playing it. its so chill#you just take pictures of silly little cats and leave them silly little toys and treats. and the music is cute

of all the designs which ones actually existed in the 80s? :)
UM off the dome erm none of the bratz ones which were invented in the early 2000s and i specifically used the 2010 version for the st one and the 2012 design for cc's. the barbie ones are era accurate!! they used that design with the pink shadowing from like the mid 70s to the 90s.. the rainbow mlp one is the retro version but i honestly couldn't find any consistency in things like the arc design there and it seems to differ based on whoever's producing it and also i invented the clouds entirely which also seemed to change case by case but i used the one that was used in the original cartoon which is like, 83 - 88!! i also used g1 pinkie pie for the pony lol. actually heres a side by side for fine though i actually used the h/n from another font and had to hand make the g to match the y bc 100% of all logo designs use a modified version of a font that costs like. 50 bucks as well which is why it always takes me so long cuz i'm like not just downloading a font i'm using the pen tool
Tumblr media Tumblr media
but the other mlp one is from friendship is magic which around the 2010s i believe :0

Regressed Vox HCs!
(Actually had a lot more than I expected oops)
⚓️ Rarely ever regresses. Avoids it at all costs if he can but it always comes back cause bottling things up makes it worse! (he does not learn)
⚓️ Due to all the stress and pressure of being the main Vee in charge as well as having a literal monopoly over the TV industry he tends to regress really really tiny like he’s just a lil guy, if he were to guess he’d say he age regresses from 4-8 years old but it’s more likely 2-6 (tell him he’s a big boy regardless it makes him happy)
⚓️ If Vox can feel himself regressing he’ll quietly get to the most isolated area possible as quick as possible - he rather keep his regression private
⚓️ Complete 180 with how he normally acts. He’s quieter and more reserved like bro does not speak at all and keeps his distance
…Until he starts coming out of his shell that is!!
⚓️ When Vox is out of his shell and with somebody he’s comfortable with (Velvette probably), he is a rambler, a yapper even.
⚓️ He can barely talk however 😭 just babbling and stuttering and tripping over his words - he had so many speech impediments as a kid and that just comes right back to hit him in the face
⚓️ He does not care however and believes he is perfectly understandable!
⚓️ Sharks on the mind, drawing sail boats, knows a ton about marine life - idk if anybody else gets this vibe from him but I feel like his hometown would’ve been a small coastal village near a big city
⚓️ Favorite candy HAS to be those shark shaped gummies
⚓️ Has a lil sailor hat he likes to wear instead of his top hat :>
⚓️ Makes little hums, buzzes, and trills sounds similar to a TV or computer as a way to stim
⚓️ Doesn’t really understand know how to ask for something he struggles with communicating… so he bites! Hungry? Bite. Thirsty? Biting. Wanting attention? Your fingers are gone!
⚓️ Will also just… stare. His big ol eyes are constantly staring at his caregiver (similar to the random little kid who stares at you at a restaurant like you own them money) mostly does this cause he’s curious but also cause he just loves his caregiver C:
⚓️ Will shock himself for fun (it doesn’t harm him 80% of the time and he thinks it’s funny)
(Do not let him go near any outlets he’s gonna cause a power outage on purpose)
⚓️ Very very tantrum prone. Cries when he’s angry and when he’s sad and it doesn’t take a lot to push him over the edge. Will not understand why his favorite stuffed animal has to be taken away to be cleaned it’s the most excruciating 10 minutes of his life
⚓️ But sometimes he’ll just have bursts of pent up rage coming out randomly (from bottling it up) where he’s just screaming and crying and also doesn’t understand why :< feels really ashamed about it later so he needs constant reassurance that it’s okay to feel angry
⚓️ Being so fr we all know Vox is a lil pathetic so when he regresses that translates to a ball of nerves. He is sensitive and if left alone with his thoughts for too long he’s gonna start bawling. However he also cries when being told something like “I’m so proud of you!” “I love you” “Good boy!” He starts crying bc he’s not used to genuine affection, like he’s happy but malfunctioning at the same time
⚓️ Ironically, Vox doesn’t like using (modern) technology too much when regressed. He is easily overstimulated by flashing screens and loud sounds to the point where he has to turn his own brightness settings lower 😭
⚓️ occasionally he’ll play a video game but not really cause he’s either messing around on MS paint or playing snake on a Nokia phone (he likes chewing on Nokias)
⚓️ Vox is honestly a huge hypocrite lol, he’s all for modernization but he keeps a 1950s model TV in all its black-and-white glory specifically for when he age regressed cause of nostalgia.
⚓️ He has old VHS tapes of a show called “Lassie” that was really popular in the 50s (For anybody curious it was a live-action show about a Border Collie named Lassie who’d go on various adventures and save people from danger its a rlly wholesome show <3) Vox also loves Huckleberry Hound! Yet another example of blue cartoon dogs being loved no matter what generation they’re in!
⚓️ Loves being read to, easiest way to soothe Vox is by telling him a story - he’ll remember every single detail and repeat it to his caregiver later with much enthusiasm
⚓️ The original Charlie Brown comic strips are also one of Vox’s favorites, he likes how warm the art style feels and of course - who doesn’t love Snoopy!
(Vox might just be a dog and shark person idk)
⚓️ Vox loves eating Legos! They’re very crunchy colorful! :3
⚓️ Always needs teethers/pacifiers for reasons stated above
⚓️ When Vox gets tiny he’ll try to handle it himself for as long as he can but if he can’t he’ll begrudgingly go to Velvette. Or she’ll go to him Vox is ridiculously stubborn
⚓️ Velvette. Ohmfydo she’s freaking OUT/pos
⚓️ She regresses way more often than Vox does and Vox is always insisting to care for her. So when she sees him regressed it’s always a treat! Girl is gonna be doting on him the same way he dotes on her
⚓️ Vox is clinging to her. CLINGING to her. As soon as she sits down he’s on her lap or he’ll be constantly following her and holding her hand
⚓️ Vox when he’s little tends to be more, feminine(?) Gender is gendering he lowkey has some internalized issues with gender expression (pls bare with him 😭) but when he’s little (and with Velvette encouraging him ofc) he likes wearing those long flowy night gowns c: they’re just more comfortable than pants or shorts to him! Not that he doesn’t love wearing suits and bow ties - he is a distinguished gentleman even when little
⚓️ Vox is not a girly girl but he does love playing dress up or having tea parties… he will get shy and feel ashamed about liking those things cause “he’s supposed to like boy things” that kind of mindset gets shut down quickly by Velvette once she gives him the reassurances he needs (GENDER AFFIRMATION BEAM GO!!)
⚓️ Velvette has given him so many nicknames. Of course love, darling, and sweetheart being commonly used. But also nicknames like little prince or little inventor. The one that Velvette uses most often and makes Vox the most giddy is probably pup. Cause pup is what baby sharks are called! He is just a silly baby shark <3
These have been floating in my head for weeks now ahdbfbsjfnnd I need to share them before I spontaneously combusted
I am so. Soft for little Vox way more than I originally thought he’s mostly a caregiver in my book but he’s adorable a little <3
- 🔮
OK HEAR ME OUT I PERSONALLY SEE VOX AS A CAREGIVER
but bc of these hcs
I see him as a flip (cg lean)!!
these were amazing I approve

I could not stop thinking about this since I've came back in this website because the nostalgia is so strong.
So I finally made me my own version of Splendorman, bc he was always my favorite
Tumblr media
Here's some highlights
Gave him lots of ringmaster fits and carnaval aesthetics. Pretty self-explanatory so I won't dive much into it. However I really want to point out that I used a 1910s & 1920s style to make him feel sort of old-timey and nostalgic yet refined.
I kept his iconic colorful spots on some outfits but toned them down a little bit, and I added lots of stripes to make him look taller and lankier. He's like at least one head taller than the rest in my head.
A Top-hat also works, but I want him to use more smaller or shorter hats like a Boater hat or a Derby hat because I feel like he'd look too accumulated wearing a top-hat all the time. Also to have some variety.
He has a little bit of build, or at least he's slightly beefier than the others. This to show his physical strength and "healthy" livestyle.
I feel like because he is the only one with pure intentions, those good habits should be represented in his physique so I want him to look very healthy and athletic. Also because he'd be more huggable, but also way more scarier if he's mad and trying to harm you.
His hands have a black (kinda reddish) gradient. I haven't figured out a good excuse, I just really like the detail. Maybe it's dry blood from times he'd attacked someone on a fit of rage, maybe those are scars or maybe he was just born like that idk.
He's always wearing gloves anyways.
My version has a more "natural" skin color. I think this is kind of the norm, but I see that some people draw him with white skin like Slenderman's so I wanted to point that out. I feel like that would make him more "humane".
I guess that's all I have
Splendorman has been my favorite creepypasta/happypasta since I was in the fandom when I was like 13. And I really want to work a lot on his character since I always see that people portray him as this innocent and childish person. But he has so much lore that it just feel like wasted potential when he's reduced to being the "goofy one". He needs a little bit more agency.
I'll post another blog where I gloss over my own lore and mythos surrounding him soon enough.

that was SUCH a nail in the coffin analysis ive always felt weird abt how mcr and their fans have been operating ever since they came back and u put it into words 😭 like i genuinely think mcr is still effectively broken up and only came back bc they missed a) each other/performing occasionally kinda and b) MONEYYYY because a full tour and multiple makeup palette launches with no album out after like four years is insane! (i get that the pandemic mightve shifted their schedule maybe but lets be real) and i think mcr fans are subconsciously hurt by this and somehow the revisionist history of mcr being freedom fighter genderqueer activists that threw the first brick at warped tour makes them feel better about it?? like "oh this band has values so surely they wouldnt come back from a breakup JUST to take my money"
I actually think that back in 2018-2019 the band originally intended to record and release an album and then were not able to follow through. I think COVID probably affected people’s mental health or drawing out the creative process for several years more than originally planned led to the same tensions that resulted in the band breaking up coming back to the surface. 
The earliest MCR reunion leak was actually in Spring of 2018 by SWMRS (lol) and had probably been going on for a long time prior to that. They have had plenty of time to record an album, they either just can’t or don’t want to. 
The initial reunion announcement had a lot of really stylized and specific imagery that was new and not nostalgia bait at all. It also felt very extra for just a tour. I don’t religiously pay attention to MCR but they have been doing a lot of stuff to try and keep the album hype going as we head into 2024, like flashing a 5 symbol at shows. I feel like that type of thing was more prevalent early on, but it’s been 4 1/2 years (!!!) so it’s hard to remember. 
Also, I joined bandom in Feb-March of 2013 and all throughout the hiatus through reunion leaks in 2018 (so 5 years), MCR were constantly doing things. They each had solo projects (Frank several) and Gerard was doing comics and a TV show. Plus, the band released CW, several demos, and merch. 
Over the last 4-5 years, they have basically had one tour and that was it. What have they been doing this entire time? Nothing? 
Also, an album that was significantly delayed or didn’t pan out would explain Frank’s garage sale fiasco. The FOB reunion was originally prompted by a blog post from Patrick complaining about how he had blown his savings on Soul Punk and it failed— so if Frank had invested personally in LS Dunes banking on a MCR album, that might explain why he needed to auction off sweatbands as well as the band getting snippy on socials about how they can’t “afford” to film a video. 
And like, no, nobody is “owed” a MCR reunion or MCR album or “owed” closure and if they want to fuck off and drink virgin Pina Coladas in Tijuana for the rest of eternity and play WWWY and Riot once every 4 years or something they can 
But stringing fans along with “cryptic messages” for 5 years and not making any kind of acknowledgement in the press is weird and like you said, I think explains a lot of the obnoxious holier-than-thou behavior from the fandom. During the time MCR have been “back,” FOB, Avril Lavigne, Blink, and probably other people have gone from varying degrees of hiatus to being well into full touring and promotional cycles for new material which has also made MCR less and less special. Those acts didn’t set outrageously high and dramatic expectations beforehand like MCR did either. 
I also really don’t intend to be disrespectful or make assumptions but I think Gerard especially has a long history with drug/alcohol issues in relation to performing and doing touring before the album was even recorded may have led them to delay stuff to (at best) prevent any issues arising. 
And like maybe their bodyguard is telling the truth and there will still be an album. But planning a reunion starting in 2017 at the absolute latest, recording and releasing a single in 2019+playing reunion shows, and not releasing the album until 2024 at the earliest is not really a normal schedule and at best is indicative that they ran into issues along the way.

gintama time loop reading that i had while watching
(laid out for my own reference. this doesnt have to interest u guys.)
okay so like. watching gintama and getting to kintoki arc. what i knew was 1. i was getting into the anime art style changes i had varying feelings about which signaled 2. i was getting into the back half of gintama 3. what i knew about the back half of gintama is that utsuro exists, gintoki did something fucked up on that cliff that ppl cant stop talking about and drawing parallels to with every arc of gintama, and ppl (i sensed) think the writing of the ending is stupid
kintoki arc has yorozuya and tae promise:
Tumblr media
before breaking Gintama The Series into a distorted au where the chars are WILDLY different but still play out their roles to their arc-concluding purposes. birthing in me the image of a gintama that can fill any shaped-hole you put it in and still have the same basic inherent form it moves towards (whatever happened on that cliff, which i sensed was being gestured at in kintoki arc w the beheadment seppuku but had no idea the fucking. extent of lol)
gintama making formal changes (ugly or lovely art style shifts, at some point a radical change in thrust of story with the introduction of utsuro as a final and plot-twisty villain) but (hoping that it's) remaining the same at heart... or being railroaded into being the same. somehow the yorozuya promise became about. being cognizant of being in the narrative timeloop** and being subjected to Circumstances. being cognizant that something was being taken from u (catharsis of ending--) and also inflicted on u (--replaced with episodic and genre-typical* endless storylines)
(*not a slam. just that gintama's storylines are all about like. accepting the horrors. which is a journey of experiencing the horrors in order to come to terms with them that is harrowing to be subjected to over and over and over again. [cest la vie]
**and timeloop was also being flavored by me understanding yoo joonghyuk orv's regressions as about the endless iterative failures of making progress on a journey of recovery from trauma. all timeloops are about that to me now.)
thought shelved until obi-one's arc where, although i understood him as an oboro figure, he was performing a shouyoutsuro role of being a dearly missed mentor figure who comes back for happy family times yayyyyy but oh no he came back Wrong (a disabled cyborg programmed to betray against his own will). and Evil (needs to be taken down, and the shimuras-through-gintoki have to be the ones to dismantle their own happiness that it turns out was always retroactively tinted by this grief).
the presentation of nostalgia as longing for a return to the past that cant actually be achieved. or rather, you can achieve it, but Time changes things, and the past you get back won't actually be the same.
this helps me shift what i know about utsuro (shouyou but Wrong) into being about. what actually isnt that textually present in the series? but has to be assumed, i think? bc like? of course? the desire to have shouyou back (tho now i ask: whose? gintoki's? again, not really... in the text?). you can have shouyou (idealized gintama timeperiod where everyone is happy and innocent) back! you can have all the shouyou (early days swagful gintama anime that i am constantly missing as i move into the future material) back that you want! and its gonna fucking suck (for the chars and for the audience)!
and that basically ends up being the framing thought i take with me into utsuro's introduction................... it gets lost the more i actually see him and late-game gintama for myself and gain the context i never had for everyones blogging i was seeing. but. still. the theme i understood to be what gintama was telling me. you cant get back what you lost. and if (when) you try, you only come face to face with what was damaged in the losing.
however...................................
Tumblr media
the further i got into silver soul and through to the ending the more it was............ interesting but confusing that, as i put it, the chars were "fighting the representation of the dangers of Nostalgia with More Nostalgia"?
and still i dont know what to do with the ultimate last-pages ending of gintama being a return to the status quo (with cosmetic changes). yay we defeated the evil specter of our past that haunted us and kept us in the desire timeloop. now we can get back to the episodic timeloop that we spent the fight with the specter... desiring to get back. hm. well!

Brother's Keeper Design Fun Facts that I Wrote on a Very Long Plane Flight to Occupy Myself, and Ignore the Baby Crying Behind Me and the Trail Mix I Spilled into my Luggage (and then Rewrote Later When I was Actually Coherent): a Saga
Hello, ppl who expressed interest in this, thank u for giving me something to do! I hope u find something interesting in me rambling. I like thinking about design maybe a little too much. Here goes:
Fun Fact! In this au Caleb essentially has three personas and now that I'm putting words to it, I realize that this is central to how i draw things because most everything I design to add him into the story is defined by one or more of them. It goes like this:
PERSONA 1: Mad Lord Metanoy
His public image: the tragic brother of the emperor, crippled and driven to insanity by wild magic and presented to the public as an example. This is what Belos WANTS everyone to see, and so it's the most prevalent and is a weird mix of pompous (bc he's an important public figure and the emperor's brother) and pitiful (bc his "tragedy" is central to Belos' propaganda).
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
PERSONA 2: (Failed) Witch Hunter Caleb
The persona cultivated by Philip: simultaneously the perfect witch-hunting older brother he WANTS and thinks Caleb SHOULD have been if only he'd never been "corrupted" by witches, and also a rebuke for NOT being that. This is an image built out of Philip's wishes, idealization, hero-worship, nostalgia, and anger. Unfortunately for him, it's a persona that's no more real than Mad Metanoy is.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Since he's in control of what clothes Caleb has and what furniture is in his room, he both tries to force it on him and punishes him for failing to live up to it. Which leads to my favorite design tidbit: the caged wings motif! I use it a lot lol, mostly on the furniture. I'm not sure it's really something Philip uses in this way on a conscious level, but the implications are pretty rude and it's fun for me to work in.
Similar to the Golden Guard/Gravesfield symbol but not exactly the same because other people aren't really supposed to know that Caleb has anything to do with the Golden Guard. Every time a pair of wings appears in Caleb's captivity, they are always contained within some kind of barrier. Even the wings of the Emperor's Coven symbol on Caleb's headboard are imprisoned beneath a canopy.
Tumblr media
PERSONA 3: and finally, The True Caleb!!
Who he REALLY is: a free-spirited nerd who likes to read, learn, and work with his hands. Poor guy though, he has very limited opportunity to express it. His real persona appears only in the hobbies he's permitted and how he wears and uses the things Philip provides for him.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Anyway, this has been Design Rambling with Doodle. Tune in next time to hear me mumble about furniture probably. Now excuse me, I have to go pull loose peanuts out of the crevasses of my backpack

My oc progress from old and until now and a little news
This is going to be long, so keep scrolling if it didn't catch yor attention :]
Have a nice day
My apologies if im pretty suck at English while making this
Oh hello thanks for looking
So this my oc progress, from aster to liam!
=================================
So when i was bored i draw this lil fella and i was inspired by Enderman from Minecraft
Tumblr media
Then when i get to play among us again bc nostalgia from 2020,i upgrade him to this kind of alien playing role as an imposter.
And thats when i gave him a new ability to shape shift, also for the name i combined some spacey stuff name like Celestial, star, Orion,and more then boom theres the name and i pick Astra
Tumblr media
Then this
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And finally this!
Got to make him have two eyes
Tumblr media
=================================
And i eventually make lore for him ( the lore it self doesn't make any sense yet, i just take the point only )
This is where his name astra became liam,the name Astra is too spacey for a human name and thats the reason i changed it to Liam
And that lil fellas name is Azy. Got to make them became friend then sibling which is liam is the older brother and Azy is the youngest
Tumblr media
So a lil bit from the role these two get in trouble
Where Liam get killed and tortured then thrown to the deep dark abyss void pit where he then slowly decays as the time pass by, but he still survive with his hope from his little brother little Necklace, remembering that he always be there for him
I call it ( Rotten Forgotten )
Then he meet with (someone) who help him from the void
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And this is them now
Tumblr media
Update : astra will be a nickname when liam changes
Well thats all of it!
=================================
And i want to say many thanks to ppl who always support me with my little art!
Actually you know what? i was literally making this account just for fun only, which is i dont really care about username and stuff so i just use my oc,s name Astra with Y in front. Knowing that this account wont be last very long
But when i post my first ever freakin art for fun its literally goes up to 6.000+ notes, like wtf i was very surprised, i had no idea how was that going to be that good for a first try, life have a lots of surprise was it
Then i have no other idea so im running this account, im literally very very nervous showing my art to ppl.
But hey, i think i make a good decision to keep running this account, i improve my artstyle and more bc of y'all supports!
And bc of that I'll be soon using my real username
And thats all! All i can say is just Thank you very much for you guys that always there to support me and my art! 🌟
Hope that wont be too long for you guys haha
Again! Thank you and have a nice day :]

Could you draw Joel and Etho as a folkeeventyr, like Etho as Askeladden obviously and Joel as a troll or smth like that. I think it would be funny if instead of trying to trick the troll (Joel), Etho just flirts with Joel.
Or maybe Etho as a huldra and Joel as just some dude, or "Prinsessen som ingen kunne målbinde", and but its just Joel and Etho.
Im a sucker for myths and folkeeventyr and you had a norwegian flag in you bio, so im guessing you know at least some of these :D
(also just Etho or Joel as a huldra is for some reason just hilarious to me)
kiss me, rn!!
Tumblr media
Rought translation: I came to save the princess but... I think she might need to save me instead (if you know what I mean) ;)
keep dreaming, etho
JOEL IS FINALLY TALL!! HE JUST HAD TO BECOME A TROLL
ALSO THE BLOBS IN JOELS HAIR ARE NOT SLUGS, ITS MOSS!
I didnt want to make Etho say anything too intense bc I believe Askeladden is a young teen (like 13-15)?
Tumblr media
if I had a nickel for everytime I've drawn Joel in a dress, I'd have two nickels. which isn't a lot, but its weird that I've drawn it twice!
I DON'T KNOW WHAT I PUT INTO THAT DRAWING BUT OMG JOEL LOOKS SO GOOD...
Folkeeventyr gives me so much nostalgia, I GREW UP WITH THEM EHEHHE (I also had to dramatize one of them which was less fun but oh well)
I am Norwegian btw thats why i have the Norwegian flag (Swedish and Finish flag aswell) in my bio <3

hehYYy. HEEEEEEEEEY i made an AU :) again.
I wasn't entirely sure if i wanted to call this one a. cyberpunk one? or a futuristic one? i guess i'll go for the second bc it's kind of it.
I guess this ties in with my regular line for COTL, and the Aftermath AU (an AU of the AU???) this takes thousands of years into the future where all the gods, including Lamb, have died and reincarnated.
Leshy was kind of the reason I made this to begin with bc i was drawing him (points to the lesh) and i was suddenly struck with the idea HSBDAHSHH,, AAAAAA.
as always more info under cut if you're interested :> enjoy.
Sheepkin was "restored" by Lamb and Narinder in their original encarnations. Given this branches off of my Aftermath AU, the worst case scenario happened and Nike started slowly losing their mind. Warning Narinder of this, they made a blood ritual where they used the blood of both and all the power of the Red Crown to create around ten to twenty lambs. The immortality of both immediately wore off and while Nike's mind was still clear, they asked their cultists to make a coffin for both them and Nari, then were buried under the temple in their last day along the Red Crown and rotted away. The next two generations of sheep could repeat this process with whoever they wished, until the power faded away. Fast forward a few thousand years and its almost like they weren't one number away from extinction.
The Red Crown recovered its power and the other crowns are also on their full capacity, but are inactive and calling for their rightful owners. The camp and Temple are however completely abandoned and not many dare enter it. This will be expanded on later :)
Narinder and Lamb are both adopted, by Forneus and Ratau respectively, as they were both abandoned by their biological parents in different ways. Forneus and Ratau know eachother, so they meet pretty early into their lives.
ALL 'bishops' have remains of their power from their past lives. Magic is still very much a thing in this world but is mostly overriden by technology, so most people don't suspect they're special in some way.
The bishops aren't family anymore.
Heket (not pictured) was the first to figure out she had special powers, but is unaware that she is special in some way.
None of them have memories of their past lives either. Shamura (also not pictured) however, has had visions of these past lives and became obsessed with them, and after being isolated by their family, they slowly figured out what the Old Faith was.
Shamura and Narinder met when Narinder was still a kid and were good friends, until Shamura disappeared, which led Narinder to think they died.
Leshy was the second Narinder met, and by extension Lamb, and now the three mostly tag along together.
Leshy was not born entirely blind but is pretty much legally blind, so he uses special glasses (Still can't see whack)
In addition to having remains of their power, they also feel a connection and a sense of nostalgia when they meet.
Kallamar and Heket both also know Shamura but don't know where they are either. They're friends and trying to look for the "rest" of them, since they know they're missing something, or someone.
that's it for now

YIPPIE finally got back into drawing and decided to finish this warrior cats x rottmnt drawing! I’m a big fan of how warrior cats work and I have a lot of nostalgia from it since I’ve been a fan of it for 6 years so yeah I really like drawing my favourite characters into cats! All of these are pre-movie designs.
Aldo if they seem incorrect or not logical enough to you I do not care, these cats are in a universe with cats that have powers and some are literally blue.
Tumblr media
Now I haven’t really started on making them a cool wowzers backstory yet but what I’m thinking is that they were all kidnapped by Draxum from a cat breeding centre where they breed cats to be like the best of the best, fir example raph being a maine coon, Leo being a nebelung, Donnie being a sphynx and mikey being a bobtail! I chose pretty expensive cat breeds because they all come from a selective breeding facility so it would make most sense. Now huggin and muggin would have messed up the cats because again it makes sense like why have a furless cat and a small cat without tail? Draxum would of been mad, splinter finds out and saves the day. That’s all I have for now.
Tumblr media
I made Raph a maine coon bc they are the biggest cats! I also love Maine coons! His name in his clan is ThornBush bc he is fierce and pointy like thorns and big and fluffy like a bush. I think he’d belong to riverclan bc he is gentle and I also see most riverclan cats as Maine coons especially the first ever leader.
Tumblr media
I made him a nebelung last minute bc I didn’t know what breed to make him, most grey cats are short haired, his fur definitely matches the one of a nebelung, not too short, not too long. I put the bandana on his tail bc it symbolizes how he doesn’t really care abt being a hamato, he does care but he doesnt take it seriously and responsibly, I think it adds a nice touch! Chose his name bluelion bc “blue” fir his fur and “lion” bc of how wild and careless he is, LionThunder could of also been a name! He is definitely a thunderclan cat, he has this main character ego a lot of thunderclan cats have.
Tumblr media
Made him a shpynx bc it fits! Just like him being a softshell! His name AsterMoon means how calm and cold he is towards others, aster is a purple flower sometimes and he wanted a name similar to sunpatch since they are close. Definitely a shadowclan cat.
Tumblr media
He is a Japanese bobtail bc I just wanted him to have no tail, SunPatch comes from on how much of a sunshine he is and how he makes cats smile a lot! He would be a skyclan or windclan for sure!!
Anyways hope you all enjoyed this <33

Every year I try and avoid any Eurovision spoilers until the event itself, but I have finally listened to all songs and I have OPINIONS
so keep in mind these are all rather fresh opinions, and some of these songs might grow on me or lose their appeal over time.
Anyway my thoughts on each song under the cut‼️
Albania - Duje - Albina & Familja Kelmendi
I want to like this a lot more than I do. It’s sweet that she’s singing with her family(I think??) and the instrumentals are nice, but it’s all just a bit much.
Armenia - Future Lover - Brunette
Wtf are these lyrics. Wtf is this whole song. This is a front runner? I don’t get it
Australia - Promise - Voyager
YEA THIS IS MY SHIT. First verse I thought was kinda meh but then that chorus hit. I cannot see this win just bc of how eurovision is, but I’ll be checking out more of their stuff. Plus the guitarist is 💖💖
Austria - Who the hell is Edgar? - TEYA & Salena
This song got spoiled for me, but i don’t care because I love it. The lyrics, the opera, the dig at Spotify. Queens.
Azerbaijan - Tell me More - TuralTuranX
I can’t lie i kinda love this one. It’s just kinda awkward and the rap is PRETTY BAD but in this really endearing and charming way. They’re just a couple of guys 🥺
Belgium - Because of You - Gustaph
THIS IS MY SHIT. People don’t like this one? Why it’s amazing. The backup singers, the Lady Miss Kier reference, the nostalgia. I’m not gonna dare hope that this can win, but I want it to qualify so bad
Croatia - Mama Šč!
Oh boy. This one I knew I had to look into because I knew it was gonna be either extremely dumb or extremely political, and thankfully it was the latter. I still think the song is a complete mess but I kinda fucking love this.
Cyprus - Break a Broken Heart - Andrew Lambrou
It’s just a nice song. In a weaker year I think I’d like this a lot more, but as it is it sort of fades next to some of the other entries
Czechia - My Sister’s Crown - Vesna
I LOVE THIS ONE I WANT THEM TO WIN. At first I wasn’t sure about the English parts because it reminded me of Toy (which I really didn’t like), but this has grown on me so much. And the performance. The part with the hand signal for help. Fucking CHILLS. Plus the fashion in the music video, so good
Denmark - Breaking my Heart - Reiley
Den er ikke ligefrem min kop te, og han ligner en der er blevet skabt i et laboratorie i et forsøg på at lave den perfekte tiktoker. Men danmark sender altid noget bras så det er vel on brand :B
Estonia - Bridges - Alika
I’m biased against ballads, and this one sure was a ballad.
Finland - Cha Cha Cha - Käärijä
I LOVE THIS ONE AND I WANT HIM TO WIN. As someone who has social anxiety and who uses to party a lot, the lyrics were oddly relatable lmao. Plus the performance. The shirt the d a n c e
France - Évidemment - La Zarra
SO PERFECT. SO FRENCH. SHE IS GORGEOUS AND I WANT HER TO WIN
Georgia - Echo - Iru
??? The lyrics? Was this song written by ai? It’s painfully awkward and uh.. I think I hate this one
Germany - Blood and Glitter - Lord of the Lost
I think Lordi are iconic so I thought I was gonna love this one, but I kinda don’t. It’s.. a bit boring to be honest?
Greece - What they Say - Victor Vernicos
Yeah these lyrics are way too whiny for me
Iceland - Power - Diljá
It’s just alright. I don’t like it as much as many others seem to do. It’s not bad it’s also just not making much of an impression
Ireland - We are One - Wild Youth
(I can say the following because I lived in Ireland for the better part of a decade) Ireland is an amazing country and has such a rich culture and history to draw from, and yet they always just send boring garbage. I’m sorry but this one is trash, and your man looked so uncomfortable in that outfit
Israel - Unicorn - Noa Kirel
I don’t get it. Am I too old for this? I feel like I am. This song is a complete mess to me but people love it??
Italy - Due Vite - Marco Mengoni
It’s another one of those entries that’s just Some Guy. Nice voice and beautiful language, kinda boring tho
Latvia - Aijā - Sudden Light
Could have been good but it needed more power imo. Another adorable guitarist tho 🥺
Lithuania - Stay - Monika Linkyté
I don’t really know what to say about this one. Very eh
Malta - Dance - The Busker
NOW THIS ONE MAKES ME MAD, THEY SHOULD HAVE QUALIFIED 100%. It’s not quite winner material for me but there is no way they didn’t deserve a spot in the finals over some of the other crap
Moldova - Soarele si Luna - Pasha Parfeni
I usually like (or at least am entertained by) what Moldova puts out and this year is is no exception. This is a capital E Eurovision song, super theatrical and I love it.
Netherlands - Burning Daylight - Mia Nicolai & Dion Cooper
I like it as a normal song, but not really as a eurovision song, if that makes sense? I also don’t think his vocals could match hers at all
Norway - Queen of Kings - Alessandra
This is such a Norway entry 💖 there are other songs I like more but definitely deserves to place high. That whistle note
Poland - Blanka - Solo
Oh boy okay so I looked into this one and apparently there was another song people wanted to win, but the Polish government didn’t approve of it so they had the competition rigged and gave her the win? And I’m assuming she’s some dumb influencer or something? Anyway this song blows, Jann was robbed
Portugal - Ai Coraçäo - Mimicat
I like this as a performance only. She is kinda a babe, but the song itself is whatever
Romania - D.G.T - Theodor Andrei
This one is AMAZINGLY BAD. “Take off your clothes step on me” he sings with a super out of place anti-war message sharpied on his chest, while disinterested half naked women walk about the stage looking totally checked out. I love it
San Marino - Like an Animal - Piqued Jacks
Oh these lyrics suck ass as well. I got butterflies in my ears. Pure poetry
Serbia - Sami Mi Se Spava - Luke Black
At first this one was a little too silly for me, since I assumed it was just an edgy song about video games, but it’s grown a lot on me after learning what it’s about.
Slovenia - Carpe Diem - Joker out
Yea this one is legit. This isn’t exactly what I want in a eurovision song, but just as a song this is great stuff. That guitar riff in particular.
Spain - Eaea - Blanca Paloma
I think this one is… interesting, and I think it deserves a spot in the finals, but I wouldn’t exactly call it good.
Sweden - Loreen - Tattoo
Oh my god, okay so probably my most controversial opinion here. I don’t care for Loreen. I didn’t care for her in 2012 and I do not care for her now. I’m obviously not gonna try and argue that she’s not an incredibly talented singer, but I just can’t deal with the terrible enunciation or the annoying interpretative dance. And yea it’s gonna be so disappointing if she wins. Sorry
Switzerland - Watergun - Remo Forrer
Borderline disrespectful and incredibly eyeroll worthy, but regretfully it gets a bit catchy in the second half.
Ukraine - Heart of Steel - Tvorchi
It’s not nice to be all “yeah I know you guys are getting invaded and all, but your entry for silly song contest sucks”, so fortunately I don’t have to do that because I genuinely like this. Kinda reminds me of something from an LCS cinematic. I wish the whole thing was in Ukrainian though
UK - I wrote a Song - Mae Muller - I am biased against UK entries, but this one is fun. Not winner material for me, but deserves to at least make the finals
Overall I think this is a pretty solid year, definitely better than the last couple ones. There’s some really fucking good entries, and a lot of the bad ones are bad in an entertaining way.

was thinking a thought... obviously first and foremost the rerecordings are a significant part of taylor's story and career and they're revistations to key times of her life and that's amazing and we could talk about that forever
but like do u ever stop and weep bc miss taylor swift is also inadvertently redefining albums and the corresponding chapters of our own lives as the fans!! like not 2 be a cupcake but this entire rerecording process has also been so cathartic for me personally, reflecting on younger eras of my own life and how i connect differently to the music now. songs and the connections i drew to them to people in my life then are not the same as the ones i get to draw now and that's just like !!!!!!!
thinking about how speak now has always been a Cringe album to me bc i associated those feelings and songs with a middle school version of myself i didn't ever feel nostalgic toward, but now i do and i'm so excited to revisit those associated feelings of nostalgia and wonder that speak now brings (and the subsequent reflective torture the vault tracks add!!)... thinking about 1989 was the polar opposite of what i wanted from her at that time of its release and i had a lot of disdain for it, but can revel in it as a conceptual masterpiece in hindsight, understanding its cohesion better now that i've gone through a similar experience myself and now more excited than ever to hear more from that era
and it goes further!!!!!! like honestly new fans who get to experience fearless tv releases (+ other early albums) or the first time and get to connect with these songs they hadn't given a chance!! when songs/albums got spoiled bc people from your past are associated with them, and you get to re-experience them now without those people, that's freeing!!! ik taylor has said before that we the fans redefine certain songs for her and that was always a touching thought and idk i know it's not the purpose in the rerecordings but i find it to be a very beautiful, mutually beneficial ripple effect that i'm happy to experience

absolutely obsessed with tacien - they're so fun to read about!! and their dynamic?? so chaotic and charming! i imagine they spen like half of their time making inappropriate jokes about each other and the other half - making even worse jokes about everyone else around them, and i respect that phpph but also! UHHH they give me that feeling of being drowned in Sad Oblivion's Nostalgia™?? in a good way ofc!! thank you so much for sharing your stories about them!! (+im 1000% sure AU with ghost!lucien becoming human!lucien is not even considered as AU in this fandom and hell i'd be excited to read any of your thoughts on how lucien will become a real boy again!!)
Firstly, OMG!! I LOVE YOUR ART! 😳💕💕💕 I've been following you on IG for a long time, and I didn't know you're active on Tumblr too! It's so cool to see you here as well! Your painting style is so unique and the atmosphere is just 12/10 💗
Secondly, I'm so happy you like them!! It fills me with joy bc for a long time I thought that no one's gonna like my silly ships and my OCs haha. And they DO joke a lot, you're so right :D It's like Tavi teaches him to have some sense of humor lol. Also, I'm so glad that they give you Oblivion nostalgic vibes <3
''AU with ghost!lucien becoming human!lucien is not even considered as AU in this fandom'' CACKLING, but I agree lol. Honestly, I haven't thought much about, uh...the resurrection itself. Maybe Tavi used some last bits of her Madgod powers to do it. Maybe it had something to do with Night Mom/Sithis - idk, I feel like Tavi has a BIG GRUDGE on them after all that happened during Oblivion DB questline, so maybe they made a deal of sorts, that if they help with resurrection then she helps with making DB great again since she's so cool lol. Tbh I'm a bit afraid to go into speculations here bc I don't want it to be too wild and off tracks with canon; on the other side, canon IS wild, and we all can justify anything with the Godhead lore. In the end, I decided not to think about it much and focus on their relationship since it's fun :D
Also, I want to say BIG THANKS to my friend Ari (@lucien-lachance) who helped me to figure out their personalities and encouraged me to start drawing them 🤗 She wrote two amazing pieces with them in Modern AU (first one, second one), which kinda established their overall dynamic.
Thank you for this kind message, you made my evening <3

nine people you'd like to get to know better!! ty for the tag @catras-smoothie ! i don't usually get to do these things and sometimes even when i am tagged in them i just completely forget to do them ^^;
1. three ships: tbh i'm kind of at a point where i mostly just ship my own ocs that no one else even knows anything about bc i can never actually manage to write or draw anything for them, lol
2. first ship: honestly hard to remember but i know i was really into harry potter and ouran high school host club when i was like 11-12 so probably something from there? but i almost kind of feel like i was more into those silly little x reader fics and quizzes than any actual ship though 😅
3. last song: also in a big middle school nostalgia moment, listening to stuff like mcr and evanescence again! i've been trying to assemble ~80 min playlists to burn onto cds but it is turning into quite a lengthy process. the only one i have done so far is a halloween playlist cd, so my actual last song is probably monster mash or something since i've been listening to it in the car
4. last movie: in the theater, barbie! otherwise, maybe i, robot? really need to start getting into the halloween movie rotation though
5. currently reading: still reading the lost city of z by david grann! i probably only have like 50 pages left but i just got out of the habit of reading for the past few weeks so it's just been sitting by my bed 😬
6. currently watching: community! kind of waiting for new seasons to come out for most other shows at the moment
7. currently consuming: candy stolen from the halloween candy bowl 🙊
8. currently craving: i'm starting to really miss all the summer fruits that are getting to be out of season... what i wouldn't give to be able to have a perfectly ripe peach or plum all year long 😔
tagging: @prettycynicist @glisteringlord @raphaelsboudoir @plu-viophilia @devianta (hope it's ok to tag you guys! feel free to just ignore if you want <3)
