I really like Starling and I'd love to see more of animatronic Starling.
Thank you so much for reminding me Starling animatronic was a thing, I've had this sketch page in a drawer for months and had fully forgotten about it until now, so I decided it was perfect opportunity to finish it plus get the hang of drawing Foxy again.
I really need to draw more of this swap versions, I had much fun, and I really missed Foxy.
HAPPY HAPPY HALLOWEEN!! snagged a few pics of my juliet starling cosplay before going out! didn't have nick's head, so i improvised with nightmare foxy
Holding the World: Raising Starlings, the totally definitely not weird Pregnancy AU several people can now vouch for me that it's totally normal I swear! Raising Starlings picks up after the babies are born, and this is their first birthday party, before YN is forced to separate Sun and Moon (and thus the last time they've seen Eclipse to date)!
My fingers ache and I was constantly stopping to stretch and flex and warm up my hands and arm and especially my shoulder. I'm about to take some antiinflammatories here in a sec just to make sure my arm isn't totally useless tonight.
Astro Axolotl (they/star/glow/he)! They're just chilling. Idk if they're in Securoty Breach or not but no matter what they have a blacklight roller rink and arcade <3
Stardust Starling (they/space/star)! Astro's assistant! My inspiration as to what star looks like is Stardust Cookie go look him up pretty colors <#
@witchysolfan Princess Vanessa and Jester Sun/Moon AU reminded me of how much I absolutely love the "Princess runs away with Pirate Captain" trope but I've never really made anything concrete with it, so Im fixing that now.
I decided I get to be super self indulgent and make an AU were Starling is a Princess and asks the pirate Captain Foxy to help her run away.
Also fuck quality, this is my art now aagsfd Im 31 and get to decide this is good enough (and I am still feeling the co/vid after effects).
I'm making this story out of order and jumping to the bits I want at random, so yeah sorry about the chaos. This will also be mix drawn and written because, why not. That being said, written part under the cut.
“I don’t have riches, I am part of the riches!” The princess interrupts, not fully forgetting her manners nor whom she is in front of, but not quavering or letting the animatronic diminish her wishes like so many others around her “No one asks coins if they wish to be exchanged for goods, they get traded with no choice, or voice whatsoever… Captain…”
There’s silence, the Princess hands tighten their grip around her mug. She closes her eyes briefly and takes a deep breath, she couldn’t lose this opportunity.
“Tell me Captain, have you ever been told what color coat you have to wear?”
The fox seems taken aback by the question before regaining the mocking sneer and scoffing back.
“I can’t see ‘ow me clothin’ preferences be important ‘ere.”
“Please, just, indulge me.”
“Alright, I’ll bite. No, I’ve ne’er been told what color to wear, I make that choice meself every morning, but I be open to suggestions.”
Starling bites her tongue, the pirate mocking her like everyone else in her life, treating her as an entertainment. But she couldn’t allow herself to lose sight of her goal.
“Let me rephrase with a different example. Is there anyone with the power to make you marry anyone they choose, no matter your opinion? Tell you whom you should love and bear children for?”
The animatronic toothy smile starts slowly to fade, making no comment, which the Princess uses as a permission to go on.
“Perhaps having your weight controlled, only being allowed a certain amount not because there’s not enough food, but because you must stay within a certain measure that you did not pick. Or be forbidden to cut your hair, or style it outside certain hairdos, maybe you get lucky to pick a small accessory, as long as it’s of her highness liking, otherwise you should go change it.”
All her life she had been bound to someone else's wishes, expected to listen and follow without question. The Queen knew better than her, her uncles knew better than her, her aunts, her cousins, everyone always had an opinion she was meant to follow. Of course being a princess had its perks, she never had to worry about work, she could sit down and gossip like her aunts did all day long, not worry about there being food on the table, wear warm clothes and have a fire for the cold days of winter. She told herself she should be grateful and stop asking for more, but she felt so empty, like a doll on a shelf, waiting to be shown to guests and doing neat tricks to entertain them. Another accessory to be used for the good of the royal family.
“All the steps in my life have been closely supervised and led to the tiniest detail, so yes, I want to be free, and if that’s so hard to understand then I thank you for your time and will be on my way.”
She was trying hard to not break, but somewhere along her speech, her tears had escaped her eyes, she didn’t notice until she broke eye contact with the piercing golden eyes of the fox in front of her, and saw the wet spot on the table, reaching to her face and cleaning her eyes frantically with her sleeve.
The silence was unbearable, what was she thinking? Starling stood up from her chair, she should have never asked, she needed to go before being further ridiculed. This was stupid, like all her other stupid ideas, foolish, childish…
“Lass, I cannot give ye yer freedom-“ The princess didn’t dare look at the pirate, body trembling like a leaf. She was already expecting the negative, but it still hurt, the hole of hopelessness growing bigger in her stomach. “-But, I can assist ye in yer trip to claim it.”
Breath got stuck in her throat. Eyes wide and bright with new tears, she could only watch as the pirate stood up and closed the distance with a step, towering over her with ease. With a smile, just as toothy but with no trace of malice behind it, he pulled out of a pocket an old but clean blue handkerchief and offered it to her with his clawed hand.
“Pardon me, but I ‘ad to make sure yer intentions were true. Chica ‘as a good hart, an’ most o’ the time, a good eye too, but ‘er need to protect an’ “chicken” others gets in the way often. My crew be my family, an’ I need to protect my family, savy?”
The princess doesn’t move to take the offered piece of fabric, unable to break eye contact, slowly processing the words told, her heart slowly speeding up inside her chest.
“…Does that mean?”
“Aye! Ye and yer mates be welcome aboard the Golden Fang. Now clean them tears, I’ll ‘ave no mopey faces on me ship!”
He loudly but cheerfully laughs, hooked hand on his hips as he roughly, but causing no harm, pushes the handkerchief against the princess cheeks, startling her into finally reacting and grabbing it, a smile forming on her lips, head dizzy with all sorts of different emotions.
8. Paper Girls: The Complete Story by Brian K. Vaughan
9. Gravity Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon (kinda disappointed that most copies are only 784 pages. Thought it would be as long as Les Misérables or War and Peace. It’s not)
10. FNAF and Stardew Valley Cookbook
Had to stop buying books because sharing an 8x8 room with your older sibling is too small. Family is working on an add-on so hopefully I’ll get my own room sometime next year. So I’m starting my book list in the mean time.
I'm Voidling! I'm the local canon divergent Etho fictionkin in this sea of dsmp and qsmp people. I'm the mascot of the qsmp shelter as I joked once :]
I use a large amount of neopronouns, and my favroites are star/dust, camp/fire, eye/sight, and ztar/ztars! I also use it/its if you blank on which neos I use!
I'm also kin with what is technically a crk oc, named Void Starling or Voidling (hence the sign off) as well as a slightly canon divergent Shadow Bonnie! (there might be a few more kintypes but uhhh nothing confirmed)
Uhhhh that's most of what you need to know I think! Other then that every once and a while I arrive at the inbox/discord to infodump and I've known another anon on the blog for almost a year now. I didn't know it was them when they first came to the blog though lol
Oh and I write stuff about my timelines or the people I miss the most, and I'm really into FNaF and CRK!
I also joined the sauce war on the side of 'all sauce is bad' and me and Tom have fought (/silly) about it. we threatened to meet in a denny's parking lot
Oh and I will talk about my husband and complain about how much I miss him </3
