i took the switcheroo week as an excuse to finally try my hand at some scrybeswap designs! got a bit carried away as you can see, i love doing character design so much

decided to keep their species/major design elements fairly consistent (e.g. grimora's makeup, mag being vague and indistinct, leshy having nonhuman legs, p03 only having one arm) while still switching up their aesthetics as needed; super happy with all of these as a result!

design notes for each scrybe under the cut! def open to any further questions or curiosities, i always think way too hard about characters while designing them lmao

P03:

scrybe of the dead: i went for a possessed tv vibe; he's still mechanical but those bones do have a living soul trapped in them...also shoutout to @squid-hug for suggesting the x-ray machine, i was very tickled by that lmao

scrybe of beasts: overgrown old bot was kind of a given for this one, but i was also thinking that the plants are part of what's keeping him running somehow

scrybe of magicks: the magic eye is the core powering that top monitor, and the two side monitors display what he's seeing with that eye at any given time

grimora:

scrybe of beasts: she's a witch! like a chill terry pratchett kind of witch, she works with a lot of herbs and such; also her makeup is meant to mimic blood drops

scrybe of magicks: magick grimora is more of a warlock type, her magic is a lot more sinister and she almost never opens her eyes (whereas her third eye is basically always open)

scrybe of tech: tech grimora is kind of a wacky machinist-flavored dr. frankenstein; she inscribes by writing on circuitboards!

leshy:

scrybe of the dead: this leshy is a gargoyle/vampire hybrid! i thought a mirror would be fun for him bc you can get two different cultural refs; medusa (bc stone gargoyle), and the idea that vampires don't appear in mirrors!

scrybe of magicks: i decided to make him a bird guy (kinda harpy-esque) bc he's basically a more whimsical baba yaga hermit; the baba yaga thing carries over from slavic folklore obvs. also he has polycoria!

scrybe of tech: tech leshy was super fun, bc he's steampunk! rather than animal legs i gave him digitigrade robot legs, but other than that he's the most like, normal human guy here probably lmao; despite his well-adjusted appearance though i still think he's got a bit of freaky wonk in him

magnificus:

scrybe of the dead: this one was very ring-inspired lol, got those clump of hair you found in the shower drain vibes

scrybe of beasts: bush magnificus real! i think he'd be a bit more quirky trickster fae in this form

scrybe of tech: one of my favorites; tech mag is an emaciated cyborg draped in so many loose cords and wires that you can't tell what he looks like anymore. a lot of those cords are connected to him, and he plugs them in wherever as needed! he also has a drawing stylus, making him just an average art student tbh lmao

#inscryption #inscryptober #p03 inscryption #grimora inscryption #leshy inscryption #magnificus inscryption #scrybeswap #trying so hard not to develop 18 million ideas for these guys lmao #i love a design exercise

decided to go sunbringer designs for once. I have so many words oh my god

so. uh,

I am so normal about sunbringer joel smallishbeans so normal I swear. he's planning to throw the o from his name at scott btw.

... he and scar are related but I'm not explaining further until the actual fic about it comes out because there's so much plot significance in the smallishbeans.

... grian. has a book. that he borrowed from the Library. it's very relevant I swear the concept of the library is a plot point.

Also grians eyes are technically green! With a bit of purple and just. a layer of Dark over them to make them less neon green. its not in his genetics to have neon eyes. unlike scar and I swear their eye colors are relevant but like in a weird queerplatonic scarian dl based bit in the grian chapter of the fic

Mumbo is a long cat and being held by me specifically those hands are how I draw my mc skin. I wanted to draw him as this meme since 2021 but he's very hard for me to draw so I took the one time I'll ever draw him and did this.

Jimmy is. a creature. that has bird features but also cod features bc again half of the plot of sunbringer is based on empires 1. Also the bird he's holding is singing. And joel is stealing the song bc he has music type magic.

Scott! Is the one guy I can talk about! Because he already appeared in the fic. He's part ender dragon and like. a child of stars? I have a lot of times I drew him before I think but idk how much of it I uploaded before so yeah. Please ask me about sunbringer scott smajor he's one of the only ones I can talk about and he has so much lore going for him he's so dear to me

impulse is. technically part ender dragon too? the specifics will be explained in his chapter of yhiwu (alongside. a lot of magic lore. like a lot. I have half that speech written already it's basically looking the empires fic in the eyes and going "fight me uwu")

And because impulse is aligned to shadows skizz gets to be some form of light dragon descendant? Like light isn't directly an element in the magic of this universe but it does have an equivalent in the element of Life, which connects to truth and love, whereas shadows and theatrics (and storytelling in general) is always aligned to whatever element is considered dark; in this magic system, being Void.

Tango is looking up at mumbo. thats all. I don't have a lot of notes because my tango is just a little guy.

(Etho is checking smth on his smartwatch and also doing his best to ignore bdubs rn bc bdubs is in his villain arc/hj)

... ngl the only note I have on the bdubs design is that it's accidentally inspired by my human design for the main character in the show I'm writing. Bracelets and sparkly eyes and a t-shirt and. Crimes.

also not much on the cleo design she was just fun to draw but the implications of her existence are spoilers and also not really visually indicative bc idk what a "zombie hybrid" would look like so she just looks. funky. her background is all stitched together btw I finally had a use for the dashed lines brush :D

martyn and ren are. BIG spoilers. But only to like chapter 5 of the current fic. I will say I highly enjoy their existence tho. Also my ren designs always have hawaiian patterned shirts its a personality trait he seems to possess. Also his glasses are like. a hologram? bc his ears are Dog so he cant have normal glasses w like. the things that go behind ur ears.

lizzie is. also very important. she gets the two animals thing like jimmy bc axolotl and cat were her empires animals. also her buns are heart shaped I saw some fanart of that and its really cute so I also have that. and she's also looking at the long mumbo! very confused.

bigb. scares me. like yeah secret life really be mans villain arc. I tried to reflect that by actually straight up mirroring his eyes and having him be. the only guy looking straight at u. he can see u. u can run but u cant hide. also he gets cookies. also also drawing facial hair is hard he's the only time I ever managed to make facial hair look. normal. ever. wont happen again.

gem is being adorable and also definitely a deer hybrid dont mind the magic or stuff its fine (her chapter is. third in the roster. I literally just need to finish the impulse chapter to convince myself that its ok to upload her immediately after ch2).

and pearl! who we know bc she gets first chapter of the fic and thats already out. her eyes are a bit like moons btw. also she's doing magic back at gem which is cute I think. idk.

also half of them have fancy hair shines. like joel having beans that get progressively smaller. or pearl having moons. :D

Rayday's Swap AU ~ Emily

Finally got around to the main woman of the show! I really love how she turned out, like, a lot. ( She looks like such a cutie patootie in me and my friends' opinion. )

More information about the design + "sprites" under the cut ( includes 2 alt hairstyles )

Hair style - I literally couldn't pick what to go with for her. Like, I wanted her to be different enough from canon!Charlie, but I also didn't want to give her a bun since both my swap!Velvette and swap!Rosie designs have that hairstyle. In the end I landed on giving her a ponytail for her ( since that was the option that won in the poll I posted, otherwise she would've gotten a bun. ) But I couldn't really stop myself and made 2 non-canon alt hairstyles, including the bun version.

Heart theme - While this theme isn't visible on canon!Charlie, her full demon form does have hearts in it ( mainly in her tail and on her dress. ) Emily, on the other hand, seems to sor of have a diamond-shape thig going on. I decided to switch their symbols, not only because that's what I've sort of done with my previous designs, but also because the diamonds on canon!Emily's dress turns to eyes in her partial angel form, and that I draw braids with hearts so yeah.

Outfit - There isn't anything too notable about canon!Charlie's outfit, as most of her strong character design characteristics ( in my opinion ) lie in canon!Charlie's hair and face. This isn't to say it's a bad thing, as I did pretty much the same here for Emily ( working in my favor considering Emily also has a good chunk of her defining features in her face and hair. )

Subtle eye changes - If you take a close look at Emily and Charlie's eyes you can see I gave swap!Emily the same type of irises as canon!Charlie. Why did I do this? Well, the answer is I decided to swap their species!

Why I swapped Charlie and Emily's species - Simple: canon!Charlie being a hybrid between a fallen angel and a human/sinner is pretty much intrinsic to her character. The same goes for other characters like Lucifer, Sera, Adam, Lilith, Eve, etc as what they are and the roles that comes with that shaped their part in Hazbin Hotel's story pretty drastically.

Demon form - At the moment I currently only have a rough sketch of her demon form completed, but either way it's still up for change, so I won't say anything concrete about it here. I'll likely create a regular illustration to show off this design at some point though, similarly to how I did with swap!Vox's true face. Just don't take my word on it cuz uh yeah forcing myself to draw will not be fun :'3

And now for the sprites ( including the alt hairstyle ones )

She looks so adorable I literally can't :')

HEY!! actually wrote these all out u can tell where i started going off of mostly appearance for these because i only really know a few qsmp characters help obviously not everyone but uhm. swagever (sorry for sending it to inbox it was too big to fit in the comments on that other post)

Tubbo: Groyvle (Frozen in time/Time related things. Looks like how I imagine her, I like the idea of him not being a fully evolved mon I think it oddly fits her)

Spreen: Hisuian Typhloshion!!!!! (Guy who is like darker colors and the ghost typing is such a cool like. hint towards his tragic fate of fucking dying. Plus works well with Fit and Ramon being normal types)

DanTDM: Shiny Sceptile (works mostly with my specific QSMP dragon lore but TLDR is that Tubbo and Dan are really similar genetics wise and look almost identical, but Dan's fully evolved while Tubbo hasn't really mastered it yet hence. Shiny Sceptile (which is more blue so its fitting)

Bad: Yveltal (Death vulture thing, Dark Type, God-related status, Immortal)

Jaiden: I know the obvious choice is like Chatot but. I like to think she'd be an Archeops I feel like she'd be a raptor of some kind and Archeops is like both that and a parrot it feels made for her…. SHE'D HAVE HER NORMAL COLORS THOUGH I THINK

Pac: Shiny Dusk Form Lycanrock: I like to think Q!Pac is some kind of shiba hybrid so he's GOTTA be a dog and Shiny Dusk Lycanrock is the EXACT colors

Fit: Ursaring because like. Look at it that's just him

Cellbit: Meowscarada this is another appearance based one but I REALLYYY like Meowscarada Cellbit its fun to me.

Baghera: KILOWATTRELLLLLL i dont think any of the ducks fit her and I fucking LOVEEEE kilowattrel i think it's a really fun choice for her

Roier: Midnight Lycanrock I like to think Roier is an African Wild Dog and I think it makes this guy fit him! Plus he's red and emo which is fitting i think

Foolish: Palafin! I don't wanna give him Sharpedo because i think it'd be a bit too silly, and Garchomp is for Leo, so Palafin!! Works well with me imagining him as a Sawshark anyways…

Phil: Honchkrow. IT LITERALLY LOOKS LIKE HIMMM ITS SUCH A GOOD MON FOR HIM hes not corviknight because thats my c!phil headcanon plus i feel like q!phil's less intimidating

Missa: Alolan Marowak i know next to nothing about this guy but. dude's an alolan marowak

Cucurucho: BLOOD MOON URSALUNA THIS FUCKERS SUCH A URSALUNA its a big intimidating bear that's face is mostly obscured and doesn't really display much emotion raaaagh its so fitting

Fred: Beartic because blue polar bear but GOD i love ur pangoro idea thats so fun

(Eggs)

Sunny: Cosmog because i loveeee the idea that shes gonna turn into a solgaleo its so funny to me. groyvle dad with a metal sun lion god following him around PLUS COSMOG FITS HER IN LIKE A LOVING SPARKLY THINGS WAY… made of stars

Dapper: Zweilous (I think a lot of the eggs have evolved atp) Fits bad's dark typing! Little guy!!! Little guy with no eyes!!!!

Ramon: Drampa. Mustache dragon thanggggggggg also the idea of this baby dragon being a grampa is really funny

Pomme: DIPPLINNNNNN make that girl into a hydrapple to match dapper becoming a hydreigon eventually. the hydra sisters :fire: ALSO DIPPLIN IS REALLY CUTE i dont particularly care for flapple and appletun feels too like. lazy? for pomme? idk

Richas: Craniados!!!!!! The way people draw Richas reminds me SOOOO much of a pachycephalosaur so I gave him the pachycephalosaur pokemom!!!

Chayanne: FRAXUREEEE haxorus is SUCHHH a chay pokemon to me i think its the yellow. i like to think he's the first to evolve due to being the oldest :3

Tallulah: Swablu: I've always associated the altaria line with music and Tallulah with music so!!!!!

Flippa: Goomy. u'll never fucking guess why

Leo: GABITEEEEEE its a shark dragon its MADEEEE for her honestly

Bobby: Bagon because I feel like it mirrors Jaiden's whole thing with flying in a really sad way

I FUCKING LOVE THEESE. God I love pokemon aus so much they're so fun. And sw on the just appearance ones because they work too. Pac and sunny are probably my favorites from this list

#crunch tag #i gotta make a post about my pokemon au thoughts eventually but I'm too tired rn for a long post

imagining thea (human form) in battle, what is her fighting style? what weapon does she use the most? would she be involved in missions against m.e.c.h.? i would love to draw her (to practice and possibly share it if it turns out good) in action and didn’t come up with a scenario yet!

Alrighty this is a fun question to answer because it's so fun.

Anthea, for lack of a better term, is a cheater in fights.

She fights entirely to what can bring her an advantage, because if she's fighting against bots 2 stories tall or more, she needs all she can get.

Because her opponents won't be fair, they'll fight dirty. So she will too

She aims for the eyes, the joints, neck, anything to get them down on her level. Helps that being a hybrid of sorts also makes her semi immune to certain weapons focused on purely Cybertronian biology.

A lot of her attacks are mixed martial arts, you can thank Plasma's training for it, and he's taught her a variety of weapons as well, being a former assassin and current recon and spy for the Autobots.

Anthea, when in her exo-suit, resorts to all kinds of weaponry.

This exo suit projects her holoform disguise, known as Astrea, as well as creates hard light constructs to craft into weaponry, like this:

That said, as this exo-suit [Sirius M01], can also work a little like Noah's Exo-Suit from Mirage. Anthea's Cybrid nature makes her have some light influence on the teach of the suit, meaning she can will it to construct some weapons if necessary, or added armor.

Mainly, she will summon some gauntlets, or a shield of sorts if necessary.

She did fashion an Energon whip, which is tied to her own energy signature. She's quite versatile with it.

Lastly, Anthea was taught proper marksmanship from her mother, and has years of experience with firearms since she was 18.

Anthea's prosthetic legs also have many weapons added into them, courtesy of suggestion from Wheeljack, Plasma and herself more than a few times.

Within just her prosthetics, Anthea has

Blades that can double as arm blades

2 Energon firearms concealed within her thigh panels of the legs

Ankle Jets

Magnetic soles

Ice Skates

Rollerblades

Reinforced Plating

As for Anthea's interactions with M.E.C.H, yes indeed, Anthea is involved with missions relation to their activity.

As she is a hybrid, the kind that MECH would adore getting their hands on, Thea made a deal with Fowler.

She would help, with Plasma, to hunt down their remnants, so long as any evidence of her condition, and missions, were scrubbed and under the table.

M.E.C.H would not get information they wanted, to create something like her.

She also has volunteered to take on the missions the kids can't or are not allowed. Missions of much higher stakes, that her hybrid/techno organic nature means she can easily survive and is better suited for.

Her involvement can very, from running recon, stealing information, or leveling bases with Plasma.

AHAH

I forgot to add to my last request

About dark klaus

With his love interest, making it about her trying to leave him, be uninterested

Please enjoy!

WARNING: This does get kinda dark. Toxic/Abusive Behavior, Mass Murder (mentioned), Torture (mentioned), Kidnapping, and Psychological Trauma. Please read at your own risk

Masterlist | TVDU Masterlist

Falling in love with Klaus Mikaelson was the easiest thing you ever did

He was so gentle and kind at first, sending you jewelry, drawings, and an overflow of praises. As far as the hybrid was concerned, you walked on water and he made you feel like you put the stars in the sky

By the time you realized that was all smoke and mirrors, it was too late. He had isolated you from your friends and family, moved you into his home, and forced you to rely solely on him

He loved knowing that you quite literally needed him in order to live-- it helped combat his fear of being alone. Plus, he adored taking care of you, dressing you to his liking, feeding you and feeding off of you, showering you in luxury for being "such a good girl"

You had been so blinded by love and gifts that you didn't even realize he completely immobilized you

However, after a long conversation with Camille, you realized just how toxic your relationship with the hybrid was

Enlisting the help of Davina and Marcel, the four of you made plans to help you escape the Original Hybrid and help you gain back your independence

Unfortunately for you, there's not a thing that happens in Klaus's home that he doesn't know about-- especially when it comes to you

He knew the minute Cami stepped foot inside the Compound and snuck her way into your room. He heard the entire conversation and was hurt betrayed by how easily you dismissed his love for you

He listened as the four of you "sneakily" planned out your escape, keeping tabs on the three accomplices to your treachery

He couldn't believe how disloyal you truly were, smiling in his face during the night when he was home and plotting your escape during the day when he was away

He began to question how real any of your love for him had been

On the day of your escape, he gives you an opportunity to be honest with him and re-earn his trust and forgiveness. However, you lie to his face and shatter any form of mercy he was willing to give you

He allows you to carry on with your plan, giving you the hope that you will soon be free

However, when you arrive on the ferry that is supposed to take you out of the city, you are horrified to see the mass of human bodies surrounded in pools of their own blood-- not a single living soul in sight

Your blood runs cold as you realize he knew, he knew all along

Just as soon as you come to this conclusion, his ghastly figure appears before you-- the blood of the passengers falling from his lips. It makes you sick

He takes you back to the Compound where you are sickened to see your three friends bound and gagged awaiting Klaus's torture

It is part of your punishment for trying to leave him. To watch as the three people you cared for are brutalized for helping you

It also serves as punishment and a reminder to them, that NO ONE takes what belongs to him

After that, you are too demoralized and traumatized to even think about trying to leave the hybrid again

A/N: Hi Anon! I apologize for the wait, but I hope it was worth it! Not going to lie this was kind of fun to write. I liked seeing how dark I could go (in a totally non-psychopathic/sadistic way). I hope this was as enjoyable to read as it was to write. Thank you all for reading and for your patience with me! I hope have a wonderful day.

More Token work for Brumnim of Leo's team and another little image mimicking a moment from a roleplay and text message hybrid roleplay. Zumvi and Amie just having some fun.

Fafnir the Charizard and a future token of Rico potentially whenever that happens... I guess for final forms I seem to just want to eschew head on tokens like the Noibat. Fafnir's a normal Charizard in typing and stats despite the looks, but he's painful and fun to draw that way anyway.

Not 100% on the Togepi's token and art design. Might mess with her more... Still lacks a personality that I'm satisfied with. Aris the Noibat I need to work with some more too. She's a stressed sweetie.

#cancrunchdraw #Charizard #charizard x #Samurott #Hisuian samurott #cyclizar #quaquaval #togepi #dewott #rico #amie #brumnim #brum #noibat #Leo recently also got a Greavard but that's a token for another day.#pokemon

I got a fun prompt! How about Knuckles is about to meet Shadow's chao for the first time and is nervous about them not liking him, despite the fact that he's the caretaker of like a a hundred chao himself? 😂

I.....rewrote this like five times and I gotta be done. I hope you like it, I tried cnskdnskdjs

Mild sensitive content warning for mentions of a mental hospital stay.

--

Everyone had seen her, but no one had been granted the opportunity to spend any significant time with her. Like a precious treasure, she was coveted fiercely, and those who tried to touch that treasure suffered major consequences.

Okay, maybe not major, but getting bitched at for wanting to pet her was hurtful, especially because she was so. Unreasonably. Cute.

Cherry the Chao was specifically bred for service. She wasn't Shadow's pet, she was a living medical aid, trained to help him regulate his emotions and give him something to focus on outside of his work, and no one had seen him without Cherry since the day he came home with her.

Knuckles was good with wild Chao. They were native to Angel Island, so he spent a lot of time in their proximity. Some of them liked to be pet, some of them liked to be spoken to, and some of them preferred not to be interacted with at all. But even the echidna found it hard not to look at creatures so adorable and want to cuddle with them, given the chance.

It would be the first time since Shadow returned from his hospital stay that he would be coming to Angel Island to visit him, and for days he had been reminding himself that he needed to leave Cherry alone. She wasn't like the Chao inhabiting his home, she was a service animal and would most likely be on-duty when the hybrid arrived with her. His best option here was just to pretend she didn't exist.

--

"Do you want to hold her?"

Knuckles blinked slowly, wide, violet eyes flickering to crimson.

"What?" He blurted.

Shadow's mouth curved up a little, amused. It was a gorgeous site to see; he'd been smiling a lot more since his return, to everyone's delight and relief.

He shifted his arms, drawing attention to the little Chao curled up in them.

"I asked," he repeated, "if you wanted to hold Cherry?"

At the sound of her name, a little red question mark formed above Cherry's head, and eyes as red as her owner's snapped up to stare. She peeped, and the question mark turned into a heart when Shadow's thumb idly stroked her cheek, and nuzzled into it.

Oh, god. Knuckles could've died from cuteness. The scene in front of him was so domestic, and though his hands nearly itched to reach out and pet, he refrained.

"I know she's yours," he replied, slowly, searching for the right words for this moment. "Her attention needs to be on you all the time, right? Won't me holding her be...distracting?"

"She doesn't work 24/7," Shadow said. "She's still a living being; Cherry needs breaks and enrichment and time to socialize like any other Chao. I just couldn't have her bond with anyone else the first few days I was home because we needed to establish a routine."

He frowned, but it was more exasperated than anything.

"Didn't stop Rouge from trying to sneak her treats, though. Almost gave her a stomach ache."

Knuckles understood, but he was still hesitant to reach for her. When it was clear he wasn't going to make the first move, Shadow stepped closer and held the Chao out to him, nodding insistently.

"C'mon," he encouraged, "she doesn't bite, and my arms are tired."

Knuckles obeyed, arms coming up to gather the Chao close, and, oh, she was so soft!

Cherry shifted a little as she was exchanged, eyes as red as her owner's shifting from Shadow to Knuckles. She looked like she was sizing him up, her little face scrunched in focus, and he fell in love with her immediately.

She looked exactly like Shadow, too. The red stripes, the black fur, the splayed quills - there was even a little spot of white on the center of her chest. Cherry had well and truly bonded with the hybrid.

As Knuckles studied her, she repeatedly turned her head to look back at Shadow, as if uncertain about being physically separated from him. Every time she did, Shadow nodded encouragingly back at her, until she eventually settled completely in the echidna's arms.

Knuckles felt himself smile, adjusting his grasp to make it more comfortable for her, and looked up to find Shadow staring at him.

"See? Doesn't bite."

"She's beautiful, Shadow."

"Of course she is," he huffed, "I raised a perfect little lady. Expecting anything less is just insulting."

Cherry sneezed just then, a sharp little sound. She mushed her face into Knuckles' chest and nuzzled into it to wipe her nose.

Knuckles grimaced. "Charming."

Shadow laughed, and the echidna rolled his eyes fondly.

WIP Wednesday (August 8, 2023)

I might take this down later...but since I'm probably about to hyperfocus on BG3 and almost certainly will never be able to focus enough to write the freaking novel that builds up to this moment anyway, here's Theo doing [spoilers for True Aeon Ending]. It is long. Sorry about that. Don't worry, I'll still post about Theo and stuff (BG3 bard is fun enough that Theo is about to take a little trip to Faerun), just gonna take a break from Aeon Theo for a bit.

Cw: spoilers, character death, lack of closure

"You won't hear me pleading. Let us finish this experiment once and for all."

An aeon–a common aeon born of star and light–would have no choice but to enact swift and fatal justice. But you are not a common aeon. You are born of soul and flesh and bone, and you see another way.

"I am not here to judge you, Areelu Vorlesh," you say. "I am here to make you whole."

You are an aeon, one of the judges of the universe. You can look into the souls of mortals and see their deepest secrets. And though it has been easy to forget these past months, you are mortal, too. A crime against the cosmos–an aeon born of bone and flesh and soul. An imbalance that must be corrected as much as the worldwound must.

You will correct them both at once.

You look into your own soul, and you see the scars where Areelu tried to use you to patch the holes Pharasma left in her son's soul. She did her work well, but his soul was too tattered and yours too strong, and so the hybrid of the two took the shape of your soul. You see the pieces of his soul, and you look into the past, into the days when it was whole, to find its true shape. There is enough of him left that with knowledge and power, he can be re-formed, if only for a time.

But that will be enough. You think of a dying child who proudly showed off the proof of his ailment as "color I gave Mama to give her good days," and you think of how a day can be more precious than a century if you spend the first with your loved one and the second alone. And so you look at the not yet criminal Areelu Vorlesh, at her cells and her organs and her blood, and you draw out enough–just enough–to build into a body, leaving a wound in her chest that will never quite heal. You rip the foreign pieces out of your soul, ignoring how your wound burns worse than any pain you've ever felt, but you press on still. You feel your power waning, your connection the monad fading as you tear out the foreign parts of yourself. Still, you persist, for as long as you have the power. Your aeonic vision fades, and when you see the form of Areelu's son appear, his soul restored, you see him with mortal eyes.

Areelu has forgotten you entirely, wrapping her son in a hug and weeping while he freezes, confused and embarrassed, and you know that the danger has passed. Her body is weak from her sacrifice. She will never survive if she tries to use her own soul to open the worldwound–too much of her body's strength now belongs to her son. You don't know how long her son has until his soul unravels, unstable as it is–perhaps days, perhaps years. It does not matter. His soul is too weak to survive the ritual, and Areelu would never trust anyone else with such power. They are no longer a threat. You gather them up, and with nearly all of your strength you send them far away from Threshold to somewhere the witch hunters will never find them–to a too-small house in Finderplain, where they can plan the marvelous adventures they will have with this new time they have been given.

The burning in your wound spreads out over your body like blood poisoning. You are not an aeon, not anymore. Soon you will not be anything. You have stopped the creation of the worldwound. You have stopped the creation of yourself. It was perhaps unorthodox–a solution no other aeon could choose–but that is why the monad chose you, why it created an aeon from flesh and bone and soul. You do not need to feel the universe humming in approval to know you have done well.

"Tell me we didn't just fight our way through the heart of the worldwound, defeat hordes of demons, and travel through a disturbance in the fabric of time itself just to give a happily ever after to the Architect of the Worldwound?!" Regill shouts in anger, his fury so great you can see the color returning to his features. "After everything–"

"There's been enough hurt, Regill," you interrupt, your voice soft and vulnerable and truly yours for the first time Areelu fished you out of the Sellen River. "If I have to unmake myself, I'll do it with mercy.” You watch as Regill’s rage transforms into naked shock, and then horrified realization as he finally understands. There is no after the Crusade for you because there is no Crusade, and there is no you. This has always been the plan–it could end no other way.

You begin to fade, and the last of your power goes first. Your star goes out and the black hole dissipates, and you see the stars and space fade from your hands, leaving only bleached flesh. Without the aeon’s calming presence, you brace for the flood of terrifying emotions, but for once your emotions are calm. You have done well–you were mortal and aeon, just as you were meant to be, and everything that is not fear and satisfaction has faded into the background except…

Regill is watching. He is watching in horror as you are unmade in front of him. You open your mouth to give him some reassurance, some last inspirational speech to carry him through this moment. But the coldness of the aeon is gone, and all you can feel are fear and pride and love, and of all the things you wish you could have had, there is only one you still can. So you stumble forward, almost falling as you go, and wrap your arms around your brother. He's startled and tenses up, stiff as a board, but you don't care. You gave up your future long ago, and you already feel your past fleeing. The present is all there is, and soon you won't even have that, so you do as you like. You hug your brother and feel his life and know that he will persist long after you've gone, just as you always knew he would.

“Remember me?” you whisper, putting the last of your power into making it possible.

“Always, Commander,” he replies, voice strained, and already you have forgotten what plea he is answering, but you can hear he is upset, and you know it is your fault.

"I'm sorry," you say, and you've already forgotten why. There is nothing to be sorry for because it never happened. But it feels right to say, and you know he remembers why, so you say it anyway. "I love you," you whisper, and you've already forgotten who he is. No–you have not forgotten, you simply never met. There was no you to meet him. But still you love him, and that love will be the last part of yourself to fade away.

There is a gnome in your arms. You know he is in your arms and that you love him and soon there will be no you to hold him. You don't know who he is or what he is to you. He is everything and nothing to you all at once, because everything is nothing to you who never were. You think you feel him relax slightly as the last part of yourself slips away into oblivion. You think you feel a hand on your back returning the embrace, but there is not enough 'you' left to be sure. You are not aware of your body dissolving into light in the gnome's arms–there is no you to be aware. There has never been any 'you' at all.

There is a gnome in the heart of a prison hugging himself because a body turned to light just as he began to return its embrace. He drops to his knees, the weight of all that never was too great to bear, whispering words he never said, not even in the never-was. The poor thing is mad–he remembers someone who never existed; he speaks to someone who is not there. Perhaps that would give you comfort if you existed. The world is made of stories, after all, and someone remembers yours. Maybe someday that will be enough to let you exist again. Maybe then you will both say the things you should have said but never did in the never-was. Maybe then there will be a happy ending.

But not today. Today there are no demons and there is no worldwound. The mad gnome is gone, returned to his proper time and place. Now there is only a prison that will continue to exist, and a family that will live again, and a country full of people who will not be wiped out.

This is not The End. It cannot be The End. A story cannot end if it never began. And so instead, looking upon Sarkoris and Mendev and Finderplain and all of Golarion and seeing the millions of stories that will not end today, we call it something else.

In the beginning…

So for the arbitrary reason that I generated a bunch of Nokemon Abominations and am having fun drawing them, this week is Fakemon Week! Without further ado, Special Kitties to start!

Murchin, The Spiny Cat Fakemon, Dark/Poison. Murchin are shy, cautious Fakemon, with a tendency to flee rather than fight. Beware their horns, which can snap shut hard enough to bruise an unwelcome hand. They have very small hind legs, with surprising strength - they can launch over a much larger predator. Evolve at LVL 25

Mocchat, the Spiny Fakemon, Dark/Poison. Mocchat are wary and alert, but bolder than their predecessor. Their horns and legs are even more powerful, cracking bone and leaping small buildings. They have a tendency to warble musically around a trusted trainer. Evolve at LVL 50 with high friendship.

Mantycoeur, the Rebel Sound Fakemon, Dark/Poison. Mantycoeur and cheery and confident - both in their power and their beloved partner. With horns that can bend steel beams, and leaps that can land on tall structures, they feel more at ease around others. Their singing has become louder and more brazen; many heavy metal bands and pop star hopefuls have these on their teams!

Casmeow, the Disguised Fakemon, Electric/Ground. Casmeow seem to operate under the impression that they’re not desirable as a partner Fakemon, so find the discarded hair of another Fakemon to make themselves appealing. Their bite delivers a startling jolt, and their charge can rattle teeth. Evolve at LVL 25

Shokewe, the Disguised Fakemon, Electric/Ground. Shokewe are very dour and somber, for the simple reason that their wool cloak is now too small to hide them. Many a trainer may find themselves frustrated with their Fakemon, but a patient trainer will be able to show Shokewe that they’re still wanted. Evolve at LVL 50 with high friendship

Fleestile, the Self Confident Fakemon, Electric/Ground. Fleestile are loud and boisterous, with a tendency to drown out coversations with their pleasant rumbling. Having mostly shrugged off the wooly pelt, they let their mane fly free and show off their sharp fangs with pride.

Fleestile and Mantycoeur are sibling Fakemon, and something very special happens when two have an Egg together!

Chirptune, the Hybrid Fakemon, Dragon/Fairy. When the first Chirptune hatched, the scientific community was astonished - while variants were common in the region, an entirely new species was unheard of! Chirptune lives up to the hype in a way, being a fierce and unmanageable creature. Very few trainers are permitted to train them. Evolve at LVL 25

Plecarba, the Brash Fakemon, Dragon/Fairy. The evolved form of Chirptune is even more stubborn and ferocious. They have a tendency to run away from their trainers, but an observant scientist noticed that they were all heading in the same direction. A particularly determined trainer and her well loved Plecarba followed the trail, and discovered an ancient ruin, covered in art of the Mantycoeur line, the Fleestile line, and the Chirptune line - with a third evolution. Evolve at LVL 75 with high friendship

Chordmera, the Confident Fakemon, Dragon/Fairy. Chordmera are just as untamable and fierce as their earlier forms - save for with a fortunate few. Only their trainer can command them, and only a trainer with a strong will and honorable heart. Chordmera will climb the halls of the heavens to defend their chosen partner, and risk the fires below to find them if separated.

Leshy for the ask game?

HELL YEAH I got requests for all four Scrybes let’s go.

Favorite thing about them: I absolutely love his character as a whole. He’s a villain (and remains that way for most—if not all—of the game) but he’s still so likable just because everyone can see his genuine passion for the game he’s created. Everything he did, everything he created, every puzzle box and squeaking floorboard and hidden secret was all for the player. Inscryption the game loves the player so much—it loves them enough to trawl through the blight it’s built upon just to have even the slightest chance of looking them in the eyes and Leshy is such a good representation of that theme.

Least favorite thing about them: Again not going to say anything related to torturing the other Scrybes (even if he thought that they would eventually come around and see that it was an honor). Instead I’ll say I wish he had a full 3D model. I know it’s because he’s too damn tall but all of the other Scrybes have one (including Grimora, who is nearly the same height and has to clip through the floor to fit in that scene) but I would love to actually know what his legs look like instead of speculating based on the unclear 2D sprite. Granted I’d probably draw him with hooves anyway because it’s fun but still I’d love if he had a full body that I could import into blender to just rotate around for fun.

Favorite line: I’m not going to pick any bits from the finale because every single one of those lines hit hard, instead I’ll pick this segment

brOTP: I already talked about Leshy and Kaycee on the Kaycee post and I’m going to try and not repeat myself too much here. So instead I’ll say I like the relationship Leshy has with his subordinates just because it’s so different from the other Scrybes’ interactions with their own underlings. Magnificus and P03’s underlings both revere their Scrybe above all else, Grimora’s all live under the same roof and are therefore likely pretty close with her, but Leshy? All of his woodsmen seem like they were just… people who lived in his forest who he decided to converse with. They’re loyal to him, sure—everyone but the Woodcarver (who isn’t one of his underlings) is 100% okay with him using their visage and controlling them for the boss fights—but in a very different way. Loyal in a way of “I live in the forest with you and the forest decided to extend a hand to me in return” rather than loyal in a “put me in the torture chamber, boss!” way. I don’t know it’s just like they’re casual friends with any reverence (or lack thereof, in the Woodcarver’s case) formed organically rather than vehemently feeling like they owe anything, intentionally or not.

OTP: Trying not to repeat myself too much so I WON’T put all four Scrybes as the world’s worst polycule here. I’m pretty sure everyone here already knows that’s my #1 favorite Inscryption ship (and probably the only one tbh because I’m not really into shipping). Instead I’ll talk about Leshy and the other three Scrybes individually (keeping it short because otherwise, like usual, we’d be here a while)

Leshy x Grimora: Classic life and death motif combo. You can’t really go wrong here. Plus, if you go by sheer quantity (and quality imo) in act 1, Insect cards are by far the most abundant, implying they may be Leshy’s favorites (plus the insect that crawls across the table that Leshy occasionally stops to observe). So making Grimora into an insect card seems to show a certain level of fondness—or respect, at very least. We already know from canon that a combined blood/bones system works very well, as do beast and death cards in act 2. Plus the mental image of Grimora bringing back animals that Leshy had gotten particularly attached to by lovingly carving their epitaphs and watching as the now-skeletal rat excitedly greets his friend again is cute.

Leshy x Magnificus: This one is a little bit funny to me just because they have no hybrid cards together and Leshy goes out of his way to gouge Magnificus’s eye out. So needless to say the divorce was messy. But in a pre-old_data sense, their dynamic would probably center around their mutual love of creation. Though their own preferences clash, they’re both huge fans of having a single unified aesthetic. They don’t want each other’s card systems near the other, but the storycrafting would be fantastic. Similarly, I don’t think a magic/blood campaign would work very well without a ton of shoehorning (it would have to be something similar to the red hart wherein the # of sacrifices made that turn power up a ruby mox card) but the visuals would be nice.

Leshy x P03: This one is equally funny to me because they’re opposites in every way possible and yet they really have a lot more in common than either of them would appreciate in canon proper. I’m personally a fan of the “overgrown technology” type aesthetic (see: co-op) so from that level I can appreciate it, but also the level of hilarity that these two would bring is incredible. Learning about the semi-canonical divorce between the robot and the forest deity was a punch in the face, but the semi-canonical marriage that it implies? The two of them going in dates in either the middle of the woods (wherein P03 complains the whole time until it spots a bird mimicking the whirring of its fans) or at the factory (wherein Leshy spends the whole time asking if they can go down to the shore because he’d love to capture that thing he swore he saw poke its head out above the waves). It would be a disaster and yet the fact that they made it work speaks volumes. I’ve already talked about a blood-energy system with co-op so I’ll skip over that part but yeah I like these two.

So anyway the four of them together are a lethal combo needless to say. It doesn’t work and yet it does and then the moment it starts to work they realize they can play god and then start fistfighting each other about it. So that’s fun.

nOTP: Again, not a fan of Leshy and Kaycee in a romantic context.

Random headcanon: I didn’t get to show it in my last drawing of him (partially because it got covered up with fur) but he has tarsal spurs on the back of his leg like an insect would. What these are used for? Good question… Seeing as in insects they’re usually on the forelegs for digging or cleaning, they’re probably just vestigial on Leshy.

Unpopular opinion: Act 1 isn’t my favorite. It’s good, for sure, but I hate when people reduce Inscryption to just act 1 and then ignore the rest of the game. Maybe that’s just because I’ve been drawing art for this game and picking apart the lore for around a year now but the other acts deserve more of a spotlight too.

Song I associate with them: Can I put Lord Huron’s entire Strange Trails album here? I won’t, I’ll narrow it down to Meet Me in the Woods (though you should listen to the whole album if you want a whole album of Leshy songs. Just saying). Other than that, Dear Dictator by Saint Motel and Solar Waltz by Cosmo Sheldrake are both pretty good options.

As a bonus, I’ll put Time in a Bottle by Jim Croce—the song he references in the Finale as he plays his last game.

Favorite picture of them: It only appears for a couple of seconds but I really like his “Deathcard”

Ship It, Ship It Real Good (Part 1)

Okay, so I have two OCs that are kind of similar in that they're both reptilian-people, snake variety but I based them off two very different things. Starting with the female. And you know me, I run long-winded so sit back and make yourself a cup of something warm, this'll take a while to read.

Her name is still a work in progress but for the time being I'm calling her Avalon, Lon Lon as a nickname. Avalon means apple and she does like to eat them, fangs notwithstanding. Technically speaking, she's based on a lamia however, if one were to look up what a lamia traditionally is—she isn't that.

Lamias are demonic snake women, think centaur but instead of a horse's body below the waist it's a snake body. Lamia are always female thus the upper body is always that of a woman. Like Medusa, women were given an unfair curse to be these demon snakes.

Traditionally they are hideous to look upon, they absolutely reek, their bite is horrendously venomous, and they devour people (usually men). Now, I had never heard of these things before until I watched some anime that I would like sponged from my memory (not sure if that's the proper phrase but you probably get the gist). The one good thing about that anime is that it gave me an idea for a snake woman.

I may or may not have stolen the coloring of the anime lamia for my own but I'm choosing to refer to that as "inspiration" because I then butchered their idea further. Because that's what I do, I borrow ideas and then mutilate them.

Anywho, enter Lon Lon, the fun-loving but continuously hunted Snake Woman. Avalon ate the Hiss-Hiss fruit, a rare Zoan-type that allows the user to turn into the mythical Lamia or Demon Snake-Woman. As with most Zoan users she has her regular human form (which I have yet to develop at all) and a hybrid form along with the full-blown lamia form.

Avalon, being the inexperienced devil fruit user that she is, and also being a rather unlucky lass to begin with had a bit of a hiccup first time using the devil fruit. She managed to bypass her hybrid form (also need to develop that) and is currently stuck in full lamia form.

I wish I could draw better because I can see her perfectly in my head and I can't figure out how best to describe her in words, but I'll try:

Waist down, her snake body is predominantly bright crimson red with some purple highlights and a pinkish underbelly. At her waist she developed flaps that look like she's wearing a skirt but really they're more like the webbing between a fishman's fingers/toes. Lon Lon is an aquatic sea snake that took to land more than the water, but the skirt webbing at her waist allows her to glide through the water easily.

For some reason, water doesn't bother her like it does other devil fruit users. It is unknown if this is because she's a sea snake lamia or if it's because she's been in the lamia form so long that she is slowly turning into the lamia in full.

Upper body from the waist up she is extraordinarily pale, not quite albino but she's often mistaken as albino. Her hair is snowy white and long enough to reach her belly button. She has little horns the grow on her forehead and they resemble jewels as the ends are rounded instead of pointed. On top of her head going down as a line on each side are a row of pointed horns. Nothing too pronounced, she can cover them with her hair if she gets creative (which she often does, she is very self-conscious about her horns) but it has been said that it looks like she grew her own little tiara of sorts.

She doesn't wear any clothing at all—she doesn't need them! She has strategically placed scales: larger scales that serve as armor on her sides from waist to underarms, and then her boobage area has scales covering the underboob all the way up to cover nipple and areola fully. They kind of grew in like a bra so she's modestly covered and protected and clothes rub weird against the scales so she just slithers around in her birthday suit. She has a few scales, very small ones that go on the sides of her neck just like her side scales but much tinier. Her upper body scales are silvery-white so at first glance you'd think she was totally nude until light hits and you realize she has scales.

She ended up stranded on an island somewhere and I headcanon that after Law loses to Blackbeard and Bepo whisks him away to safety, they end up stranded on an island. Bepo is not a ship, at some point he has to make landfall because he's going to get tired and he needs to get Law out of the ocean. They stop at the first island they come to.

Exploring the island brings them face-to-face with Avalon. She was probably munching down on an apple and Bepo probably ran into her first and panicked. Law shows up to see the commotion and honestly? Finds her fascinating but in a creepy-Law kind of way, like he wants to figure out why she is stuck in the full lamia form and why she seems to be waterproof so really what he sees is a living experiment.

She likes Bepo enough to not eat him and she tolerates Law enough to see if he can fix her. I have a bit more about her but it's still in development, but I see her traveling with Law post-Blackbeard battle. I don't ship her with Law either, I want to ship her with the other snake OC I have—she's more tame than that one, so he needs her.

I see Law and Avalon as being allies right now because he needs one but they could become good friends. Law would like it pointed out that when Avalon goes to sleep, she hisses her tongue out every time she exhales. If you fall asleep next to her, she will tickle your eras unwittingly in her sleep with her tongue. It's kind of adorable and Law will not admit to it being adorable, but it's adorable.

xD I have been effectively info-dumped \o/ and I love it =3

I love Lon Lon, and not just because I do like snakes, but also because I feel like if I ever got a Zoan fruit I'd be stuck in a fully-transformed state. Or, worse maybe, only able to change like, one limb at a time, be thrown terribly off-balance by it and accomplish little more than falling over.

The point when she comes into canon events is interesting to me. I love the late-game vibes of it, but I also really like that despite being her "first contact" there's no romance between her and Law or Bepo. I write so much romance/smut anymore that it's refreshingly different to see that ^_^ (Not that I don't like the first contact -> lovers pipeline, don't get me wrong).

You descriptions are always so good too. If I was a better artist I could probably translate them into picture form better, but gah, just thank you so much for sharing, and pardon me while I get to the other three asks you sent in XD

Ship it Good ask game

*vibrating intensifies*

so. the monster debacle.

spoiler warning for episode 26 in the Multiverse Tales playlist Redemption of the Were-Jaguar. you've been warned!

from what i've seen all monsters they've become are also a slight reflection of their experiences and self.

EXHIBIT A!!! Vasilia Kuznet

Vasilia becomes a were-jaguar, which of course the obvious is her experience with hunting were-beasts. the second thing can be seen in the above image, she's very confident in just the air around her, but needed to change her own perspective on this other form.

also the finale of that episode was literally Gangadharan was finally trusting Vasilia despite the constant evasion of her fanged form.

EXHIBIT B!!! Astra [Redacted]

Astra becomes a skin walker. she has a tendency to change her identity when in a rough zone. examples: Diamos, Tatyana, and even the dragon form.

although i was a bit confused on why hyena specifically, because before i was researching for this, i mostly saw deer versions of the skin walkers. y'know, like how most people draw wendigos. so here's that info.

EXHIBIT C!!! Charlie/Mikayla Maciel

Bio-MeKayla became a sparking ghoul. the sparking part is obvious, Charlie is a machine based lifeform, and robotics tend to use some form of electricity.

but it's interesting to see that Charlie becomes this twisted version of his worst self, the part of him that's just like every other bio mech they're looking for.

the increased hostility and tendency to control their victims. that parasitic behavior near identical to a symbiote. examples of this behavior: Obi, Emerald Tyrannus, Terror Claw, Fin-Walker, Firecross Dragon.

the controlling part is easy to find in their meeting. he blindly takes control of Kayla and just asks her to try balancing. of course we can mark that up to being completely in a panic at the thought of getting cannibalized.

another fun detail, this corruption also seems to dissolve parts of Kayla to the bone. as you can see with Kayla's corrupt arm. could be a reminder of the slime drake, but without knowing what the leg looks like that is shooting into the dark.

EXHIBIT D!!! Champagne McGregor

champagne becomes a hybrid dinosaur/lizard man. i've already done my reasearch for him a while ago, there's nothing i can pull from mythology. what i can pull is his correspondence.

aka: his job and history. he created monsters of his own that were searching for their next chance of survival, be it food or safety.

heck he even lost his arm to a mutated freakshow of a tyrannosaurus.

exhibit e, the thing giving me the most trouble: Benny Sharp

Benny becomes a jersey swamp skulker. not much to refer to unless you want table top rpg ideas. and even if i do refer to other swamp lurking mythology, there's honestly nada. no fishy abominations i've found from movies are good references either... so we just gotta go off the THREE LINES that gangadharan gives.

this is a human that touched a cursed barnacle. they can propel themselves through the water at extremely quick speeds to the point the best way to hunt them down is to get them on dry land. they also have sharp blades on their forearms. wow. what help.

alrighty, time to bs my way through this... i'm probably gonna move around exhibits so we get me struggling to deal with this guy at the end.

literally what do i pull from???? the monster simply doesn't exist. it is there, it was created for one purpose: and that was a community redraw. hfffffffffff. i even finally tried to check out what swamp skulker is in the ttrpg. it's a sea roomba. with a vague appearence of an axolotl crustacean.

not even kidding. anyways, back to shooting in the dark with a leaf.

obviously the outer shell is there in place of the mech armor he was no doubt wearing. the ability to propel itself at high speeds as to avoid danger could be equal to his tendency to run in the past if things were getting too... dangerous for others.

but my main confusion is: why water? he's honestly never really interacted with it. literally one of his key sayings is basically "if a mech can't fly, it's not worth it." so maybe that shows that he doesn't have any worth in his eyes?????

the extra mouth like cover being of course kinda like a mask, maybe showing the fact he usually is counted as the positive "don't worry, we can win if we go fist fight god!" despite me staring at every trauma past christmas demons.

#popcrossstudios #theory #benny sharp #mikayla maciel #charlie the biomech #astra #vasilia kuznet #dr champagne mcgregor #therum creation

just wanted to say that I love your drawings and I hope I get as good as you some day

thank you very much!! we all start from somewhere

aand my apologies in advance; you probably weren't expecting some incoherent mumbling, but it's been a long day and I'll just say things nobody has to pay this much mind.

I did this one late october in 2013! beautiful, ain't it? I don't even remember this OC at all aside from being a bunny/wolf hybrid, giving her features I liked at the time (yet they're somehow not black and red, I know, it's shocking). I wasn't really well-versed in digital art yet, not that my traditional was much different. used GIMP—which might explain the pixelated grass—and an airbrush at 100% for everything. lines. coloring. absolutely no layer modes/filters.

but, I thought it was very cool back then. it's still pretty cool to me now. my lines were shaky, not necessarily clean, and the year or so with a trackpad was hell and I had actively used a mouse for nearly a decade right after that.

waves hand.

point is, I'm really flattered! that I'm part of your aspirations. I don't really process the extent of my impression on others.

you really don't have to be as good as me. actually, you can be. most likely you will be, probably even better—if it's really somewhere you want to be. just might take time albeit, but I hope that art's fun for you. I wish you the best of luck in your journey at every step—that you develop your style in the way that makes you most comfortable and happiest doing things that also end up in exciting results no matter the medium.

these honestly might seem like empty words since... gestures vaguely. but I really do mean all of them. I had a depressing streak of self-inferiority and deprecation when I was younger. frequently compared myself to other artists in all forms, just in all the bad ways. got bothered tons by numbers and feedback. got even more self-conscious after some light teasing from peers and getting onto a cringe blog. (sometimes I still feel that way when I get really bad.)

that one was a tangent. o|-<

if you ever need someone to cheer you on, I'm here!! I enjoy looking at images. I love looking at art. I love getting to see what others are interested in enough to make something out of nothing with all of their heart and soul. does this make sense? I would have never had such a vehement streak for drawing if it were not for the support back then even among all the Childhood "Angst", so like.

strikes a pose. I'm bad at doing it nowadays, but I don't mind spending the time to give a more sincere compliment (or feedback otherwise, to the best of my ability) if someone has a specific piece—or anything really—that they're real proud about. I have Been there in the pit of zero response leading to zero motivation before even if art is supposed to be for fun and not shared with the purpose of attention but like. it's fun getting microdoses of serotonin for stuff ya know... it's sharing a piece of you...

erm. maybe this has gone on for too long, so I hope this makes somewhat sense. it's just. I would hate someone to be discouraged because of the lack of attention they receive for something they bled their heart over? this is redundant.

whatever the case and however you do it, I really do wish you well. I will Hit and Hurt anyone that would deter you otherwise (even if that is yourself, in which case I would just gently rattle you). we don't know each other I imagine, but still. come to think of it maybe you already ARE happy with your stuff and HELL YEAH that is THE WAY TO GO!!

but I do not know, so I wanted to be safe in the case that it was not.

anywho! to anyone reading this spiel, we do not have to speak about this ever again!! I will probably forget about this tomorrow honestly because that has been the pattern nowadays for rambling at dead o'clock hours.

eat, drink, stretch, and rest; do what you must. I hope that today is yours, and if not, tomorrow. the days after. may they be manageable enough, and I wish you all things good and kind. maybe even a pleasant surprise to shake things up a little...

(´▽`ʃ♡ƪ) please take care.

I was tagged by @igotsnothing over two weeks ago whoops. I saw it went “I should do that” then completely forgot about it. But better late than never!

1. What’s your favourite sims death? Either death by satellite from TS2 or the skydiving one from TS1, entirely because of the “Whee!” at the end of it.

2. Alpha CC or Maxis Match? A mix of the two.

3. Do you cheat when your sims gain weight? I usually don’t even notice when they gain weight.

4. Do you use move objects? Yes.

5. Favorite mod?. Aside from MCC + UI Cheats it’s between Language Barriers by Frankk, RPO and Talents and Weaknesses by Lumpinou.

6. First expansion/game/stuff pack you got? Get To Work

7. Do you pronounce “live mode” like aLIVE or LIVing? aLIVE

8. Who’s your favorite sim that you’ve made?

Kathleen “Kit” Jones (Her name inspired from that "Kitchenaid Whiskey Jones" tweet). She's been around in some form as an OC since 2016.

She is also the sim in my pfp.

I want to do some gameplay/story hybrid with her (and other sims of my own) but that would mean...playing the game and not just using it as a substitute for drawing...

9. Have you made a simself? Back in 2016/7. Probably never again.

10. What sim traits do you give yourself? TS3 traits because I like them better. Adventurous, Love the Outdoors, Brooding, Unlucky, and Artistic.

11. Which is your favorite EA hair color? The color wheel. Dark Brown.

12. Favorite EA hair? This one from Get to Work.

13. Favorite life stage? YA. The only life stage.

14. Are you a builder or are you in it for the gameplay? I liked building in TS2/3 but could never get into it in 4.

15. Are you a CC creator? I’ve done poses and recolors. I’m currently doing the “Fuck around, Find out” method of learning meshing. I should probably watch a tutorial.

I also know Python (Studied C.S in uni, which means fuck all really) and have confidence that I’ve used enough HTML to figure out XML, so destroying the game from the inside out is something I’ve wanted to do for a while. I have ideas that range from adding “Wish for a baby with…” and “Wish for Pregnancy/Wish for Pregnancy with…” to the Wishing Well for all your magical conception needs and story plot purposes, to figuring out how to add a whole “Spirit of the Wishing Well” NPC for also story plot purposes, to straight up overhauling spellcaster's alchemy to be more like TS3 alchemy.

16. Do you have any simblr friends/a sim squad? Nope. I’m not introverted, shy, or socially awkward (socially incompetent maybe), I’m just bad at using social media hah.

17. What’s your favorite game? Right now it’s Breath of the Wild. I like bullying the guardians for fun.

18. Do you have any sims merch? Nah.

19. Do you have a YouTube for sims? Nope.

20. How has your “sim style” changed throughout your years of playing?

I used to try and be more story focused when the game first came out. I’m one of those TS2 Wants/Fears dictate the game players and while you can do that in TS4, it’s not as satisfying. Now I play it as an unholy mix of "Soap Opera Simulator 2014" and "How far can I take min/maxing the sims" .

21. What’s your Origin ID? I don't have anything of interest on there.

22. Who’s your favorite CC creator?

sforzcc, Peacemaker, awingedllama, Sentate, Rusty, Johnnysims, simstrouble

It’s not cc but florwalsims and windbrook for their builds/saves as like many of you, I’m tired of playing in suburbia.

23. How long have you had a simblr? Not long, I lurked awhile before posting though..."awhile" being a year.

24. How do you edit your pictures? I use Clip Studio Paint. I’m too lazy to *ahem* photoshop and I have it for drawing purposes anyways.

Usually it’s just using different blending modes (multiply, overlay, soft light, glow dodge my beloved) and special effect brushes.

25. What expansion/game/stuff pack is your favorite so far?

Expansion: Get Together. I’ve used the club functionality in nearly every save I’ve played.

Game Pack: Vampires, Realm of Magic, Werewolves. Not because they’re particularly good but because I’m a sucker for occults.

Stuff Pack: Paranormal. Again occults, but this one also has an acceptable amount of gameplay in it. I’m surprised they didn’t try to pawn it off as a game pack.

26. What expansion/game/stuff pack do you want next? I'll get Growing Together when it's 50% off. However if before then EA gets too goofy with what remains of TS4, (TS5 is going to be ""free"" to play, it's already fucked.) I'll probably just you know what the rest of the game. EDIT: I wrote this last night. After seeing that job opening for the marketing position on Project Rene...haha yeah. Shit's depressing.

I tag: your mom
