Woah! It’s them! The glowing duo!

The other day I was violently struck with the urge to draw Ran as a werewolf that looks more like a vampire and Aimsey like a vampire that looks more like a werewolf. So I did that.

I love drawing them in vastly different art styles right next to each other, turns out.

#my art #for reference: Sneeg Charlie crumb bill and charles poodwattle are all werewolves #(well I might make Charlie a slimething that got taken in by werewolves) #and Guqqie sniff and all of sbi+Kristen are vampires #I do not know who anybody else should be so let me know #ranboo fanart #ranboo #aimsey fanart #aimsey #Vamp!Aimsey #Werewolf!Ranboo #I don’t have an AU tag yet so I’ll just individually tag the AU characters for now #on an unrealized note I’ve decided today and the rest of this week I’m going to be spending a bunch of time working on artfight stuff #becuase I haven’t had much time over the last week or so because I’ve been out of town. To expect a dump of all my attacks and revenges at- #—the end of the month

Wei Wuxian licks his lips and leans forward slightly, walking his fingers across the countertop aimlessly toward Lan Zhan. “You know, Lan Zhan,” he drawls, “A-Yuan says we’re both in the book.”

“Mn,” Lan Zhan responds, tracking the path of his fingers intently, “I am apparently Hanguang-jun, the moral upstanding hero.”

“And I’m the devious Yiling Loazu, who led you astray,” he smirks, peering at Lan Zhan through his lashes.

Lan Zhan meets his stare, head-on, lit from within like molten sunshine. “No,” he corrects, “not astray, Wei Ying.”

Wei Wuxian tilts his head, waiting for him to continue. His fingers stop their dancing, resting just inches away from Lan Zhan.

Lan Zhan shifts his own hand, bringing them even closer, their fingertips almost brushing.  

“The Yiling Loazu did not lead Hanguang-jun astray,” he says, eyes piercing as they flicker between Wei Wuxian’s. “They were partners, and…”

“Ah,” Wei Wuxian breathes, “the decent romance?”

Lan Zhan doesn’t answer, watching him closely. The pupils of his eyes have grown so large there’s only the tiniest ring of gold around the edge. He can see himself reflected in the black. He thinks he likes the version of himself that lives in Lan Zhan’s eyes.

They’re standing on the edge of a cliff, waiting for the other to take a step forward, bracing for a fall.

It should be terrifying, this sudden drop into something completely new, something entirely unknown yet so familiar. But Wei Wuxian is filled with conviction that no matter what, Lan Zhan will catch him.

It's as electrifying as it is calming, this certainty that here, with Lan Zhan, he is safe.

Wei Wuxian tilts his head to the side in a way he knows sets the unmarked skin of his neck on display. “I’m sure it was more than just decent, with a handsome hero like Hanguang-jun.”

Lan Zhan quirks an eyebrow, his gaze resting on the curve of Wei Wuxian’s neck, just as he’d hoped. "Handsome?"

“Well,” Wei Wuxian responds, tapping his index finger so it brushes against Lan Zhan’s fingertips. His skin is soft and perfect, just like the rest of him. “He isn’t wrong. You’re very handsome, Lan Zhan.”

“Really, Wei Ying?” Lan Zhan says, voice quiet and deep.

“Yep, definitely worthy of being compared to the beautiful Second Jade of Lan.”

“Is that so?” Lan Zhan shifts closer, the smell of him filling up Wei Wuxian. He smells so familiar, like something he knows intimately. Sandalwood, Wei Wuxian realizes, with sudden clarity.

Lan Zhan continues, “I would love to hear more about your opinion on my beauty and prestige, Wei Ying.”

“You don’t know anything about me, Lan Zhan. Why would you care what I think?”

Lan Zhan tilts his head, only just. “Do I need to? To want to know how your brain works?”

I commissioned this lovely artwork by the wonderful @lotuslate of a scene from my fic, once upon a time, 很久很久以前 where the entire cultivation world is cursed to live in the modern world without their memories and abilities, but of course wangxian find a way to fall in love all over again.

#i've been staring at this art for days they're one of my fave mdzs artist i am not worthy T__T #look at them falling in love before shenanigans try to keep them apart!! #im planning to post chapter 3 next week maybe by the end og the weekend #it's an absolute beast at 15k but it also introduces a bunch of characters im excited for hehe #mdzs #mo dao zu shi #the untamed #chen qing ling #wangxian #mdzs fanfiction #the untamed fanfic #wei wuxian #wei ying #lan wangji #lan zhan #mxtxnet #mdzs ouat au #bushy writing #okay now that the tags are out of the way prepare for anxiety rant: commissioning art for my fic was one of the best and most anxiety thing #i've ever had to do like it's actually insane #on the one hand i love my fic so much but also i do not feel worthy of such pretty art and talent (except i paid for it and supported an #artist i really admire which makes me dumb brain extra silly) but yeah this enitire week since i first got it i basically had to play #with my anxiety in the worst way and its been awful and i want to share this art cause its so great but also i want to cry cause i feel #unworthy BUT! i am by posting this telling that anxiety to shut up and continue promoting a fic i'm really proud and excited for and #hopefully opening the floodgates so i have the confidence to commission more artwork in the future because seeing the words i write in a pi #is just about one of the most incredible feelings aNYWAYS

weird how its harder for me to imagine bride mozart than salieri, but still

#fate grand order #fgo #wolfgang amadeus mozart #my art #the reason for it being harder is probably that a lot of fgo salieri is an idea of a character instead of the person #while fgo mozart is more or less just the guy with like a couple things distinguishing him from irl one #anyways if youre reading the tags hiii ^^ do people still do that? i hope so. #i hope that people newer to tumblr know that there are comments in the tags of the og posts as well as in the reblogs... #actually also probably because a lot of mozarts designs have a bunch of shit layered on top of him while salieri is mostly suits and such #like while his costumes look more open they are simultaneously more closed with some thing on top

just some kinitopet doodles

the kinito crew, with mild effort

and some things i did with the users, under the cut since there is. a lot

all of 'em but the first 4 came into existence because of the incorrect quote generator

these guys are way too fun to draw (to me)

#silverware's art #kinitopet #kinito the axolotl #sam the sea anemone #jade the jellyfish #YOU #kinitopet oc #tw scopophobia #<- just incase #this is just a bunch of shitposts with slight effort tbh- #i wrote that whole rant by hand man. that took so god damn long. #no i'm not using (any of) my oc tag(s) to do all of this #the pencil's name is pal btw. it's not on the ref but their a character #they're the one that got deleted (well. sonny did too.. but that's not as important-) ((only his head was there + the design was eh)) #drew all this in a little less that 24 hours #(22 hours. i believe) #do i have a problem?- #mayhaps. whose to say!

i think the actual disconnect between nie mingjue and jin guangyao is that nie mingjue is dying and knows he's dying and has to stick so so so closely to his morals and virtues or else it'll have been for nothing and then he'll have to come to terms with the fact that maybe he didn't actually have to die after all vs jin guangyao who wants to live, he wants to live and be safe and have all the things he was told he could never have-was told he was never good enough to have-and will do almost anything to make it so. and these are two like irreconcilable point of views right (and both Correct and Wrong at the same time) and so they can't understand each other because they aren't even having the same argument and neither of them can see that

#nie mingjue #jin guangyao #nieyao #it's good!!! #i think nmj never expected to survive the war against the wen too maybe so after he's both floundering and STILL dying #characters that didn't HAVE to die like that but did anyways because societal/family/narrative pressure etc >>>>>>> #⚰️ #I've been told it's real sweet to grow old #i think there's also this disconnect between the two of them in the story as a whole re that steinberg quote i posted earlier about kleos #nostos (glory seeking vs home coming) #where jgy is the kleos or glory seeker and nmj SHOULD be the nostos (@ #(and he IS to an extent) but also he ISNT because again he is dying-he knows hes dying you cant extract that from his character #and so there SHOULD be this conflict here from that but there just isnt because nmj isnt filling that role properly and i think that's part #of why jgy cant understand him #jgy is the kleos but nmj isnt a glory seeker (not outside of like the war and he's not doing that for glory etc) but he's also not nostos #he's theseus in the king must die #(sorry for referencing a bunch of shit in th tags pls pls pls ignore my rambling to myself about characters that are barely ever on page/ #screen and so we can never actually fully contextualize them because we dont actually know them but oh boy oh boy can we try) #so like what does a guy who will (allegedly) give up anyone and anything domestic to gain/retain status do against a guy who otherwise #would be the opposite and unwilling/unable to sacrifice anyone for these things do when said guy does neither 🤷‍♀️ #mine

some stuff i did these last three days, including some ideas for valentine's cards (that will never be printed let alone on time)

featuring a few other characters i like that aren't from Ultrakill, Fear & Hunger or Cult of the Lamb,

and also Le'garde lmao

#genuinely surprised the pencil didn't transfer at all and just kinda smudged with my palm #half of these were done today as i was going insane being able to do nothing but sketch with headphones on #(hard to explain but headphones can stress me out in certain contexts so ouuhh) #characters who aren't from the usual bunch (in order of appearance:) #agnes from bravely default #taranza (gijinka) from kirby #sybil from pseudoregalia #squigly from skullgirls #marie from skullgirls #(not really tagging them cause they barely appear so like. don't want to clog) #gabriel ultrakill #V1 ultrakill #lamb cotl #the rest isn't present enough so no tag at all #you know who they are (i think) #my art #no id #ultrakill #fear and hunger termina #cult of the lamb

Now that the co-workers have all spilled tea, what does Captain Zero think about his gaggle of idiots they call the Z stacks?

as zebedee puts it; could've been worse!

#asks #firecooking #this is tugs #tugs captain zero #tugs zorran #tugs zebedee #tugs zak #tugs zug #tugs zip #fortezza bigg city #senjart #here he is. the man himself. the head honcho. the guy who's most likely to strain his throat from all that shouting #if you squint you can see the way zero views his employees. especially zip. not to mention hes the youngest of the bunch #''hmmm yes I shall use this boy and how he forgot his childhood for my company. surely nothing can go wrong or has sinister implications'' #zip: ''captain zero is sooooo cool. he calls me boy :] he lets me drive a boat and do my silly evil works'' #FYI captain zero's not evil per se He just has a very skewed perspective on relationships and morals and priorities #he does care for zip (the Boy) and zorran and the others but he's not very good nor putting much effort into being a genuinely warm person #something something necessary evil #hard to explain in the tags. I'll tell more about him when I draw his full official OFFICIAL DESIGN #can't wait to get more into his character. and captain star's too. ohhhhhh man this is gonna be wild #average tuesday for bruhstation's characters

I've been checking out the OC tags for a little while, and I can say the state of OC sharing on tumblr is in absolute misery.

We've all discussed how bad the ratio of reblogs has become, how the amount of them have been dwindling those last couple of years, but I think an extra important emphasis has to be made on original creation. Though everything is hit by the lack of sharing, fanarts at least have a tag people will look for, improving their visibility - fandom OCs are sadly shared less than fanarts, in general, but they still enjoy that same visibility.

But what of the purely original? People who have OCs belonging solely to their own world, with a tag nobody will look for? I've been seeing awesome OC art that has been sitting for days and weeks with 0 or 1 notes, sometimes 5 or 6 with luck (though most of the time only likes)... And though there are exceptions, overall, it's a frankly saddening sight.

The way for someone to get attention on their OCs is to already be a well established blog or to produce fanart on the side to build a following. Blogs solely creating original content sit at the bottom of the note pool with no escape in sight.

As much as we praise tumblr for its tagging system and the fact it doesn't kill old posts the way other social media does, it still does fail in the way of uplifting creation that isn't fandom-based.

I don't have a solution to this. It is merely a sad observation. It's only natural that people would look for what they already know and love. But in a world where all of our interactions are linked to consumerism, in a world where automation replaces human imagination, I'd love to see a community of people willing to actively search for, and uplift, the creatives that are trying to peek out of the water.

One reblog may lead to another may lead to a follow, may lead to a creator feeling like their work matters.

So I'm doing it, one reblog at a time.

#ocs #oc #original character #original creation #original story #reblogs #tumblr #mine #i've had this build up in my heart the more i've been exploring the oc tags #clicking on blogs and seeing all their lovely ocs #and seeing all of em with what. 1 note? a Like most often #idk. #i love fandoms! i love so many of them #but. i wish i could see more cool imaginative stuff from us normal users too #and i wish there was love and support for it #so yeah. i'm gonna keep exploring the tag randomly and reblog a bunch of cool ocs i find #i'll be happy if you even just consider doing the same
