so @lilyblackdrawside and i were discussing how the heck manticore sleeps with that massive scorpion tail...
sleeping on her stomach feels like it'd be uncomfortable, and it'd just leave her tail to drape off the bed. i didn't think a standard mattress could be modified to accommodate her comfortably (boring a hole in the damn thing ain't exactly feasible, yk?)
so lily suggests that, rather than a traditional bed, she'd have a heated sandpit.
IMAGINE IT
lightly knocking on her dorm door with "hey manti, you awake?", u poke your head in and take a look... the sandpit in the corner appears to be empty. but suddenly the sand begins to stir and shift, and the two little headwings and tip of tail poking out fizzle into view...
she half-crawls out all sleepytired and rests her chin on the edge (i don't imagine she's a morning person), eyes crusted with sand and not at all ready to get up anytime soon. IT'S FUCKIN CUTE AAAAAAAUUAOIUEOHGOAHIGHSPAFH
also! consider the following:
that unfinished bidwell&pauling comic that i drew back in 2020 has been gaining notes recently and i figured that i might as well put it to rest and post the panels that i did finish here
i had sketches of pauling freaking out about the possibility of bidwell trying to kiss her on the drive, and was gonna end it like. oh bidwell likes the hot muscular protagonist of the film who looks sort of like his boss while pauling is more. gushing about his love interest. and they kind of get a Gay Understanding and relax more about hanging out w each other :]
I finished college exams and so all my brain cells left and I'm gonna make that everyone's problem (textless version + original by enlarged.cantelope on Instagram below - cw // sex joke aha)
jimmy and grian are such brothers i literally cant cope with it. jimmy tweeting "omw home from grian's and-" stop im gonna pass out. dont. dont do that to me. emotions. overwhelming. ough. melting
i think in my ideal world i should have like one day every 2 weeks in which my only obligation is to read nonfiction and articles and the whatnot and just be able to go into whatever rabbit holes i want and figure out how the world ticks in little bits
