warlock wizard Wally scribbles... Thinkings! oh and a bonus bard-ish Barnabys in the corner for flavor

outfit ramblings:

first of all that is a Terrible rendition of what Home looks like in my head. i just needed to fill empty space </3

the staff was the toughest part honestly. bc it Had to be paintbrush-themed, but then halfway through scribbling i was like "oh shit. there are only so many ways to draw a paintbrush-wizard-staff and Weevmo already hit it out of the park." so if you're seeing similarities! you're right! i tried to make it as different as i could! there is Inspiration from their marvelous design, however accidental or subconscious! Apologies!

he gets a pointed hood instead of a hat because a) it looks great on him! and b) it has less of a chance of messing up his hair! also c) it helps muddle the difference between Wizard and Warlock. typically hoods have evil/duplicitous connotation - blur the lines! i want his long gloves and forearm wraps to have the same vibe. his neckerchief is a big help in hiding Home's seal!

his layered (loosely apple-themed) capelet (which the hood is attached to) has a nice high collar & hides the details of his loose shirt - eye embroidery! and some flowers on the shoulders but yk, mostly eyes. on one side of the shirt buttons has open eyes, the other side they're closed! there's also one big eye on his back!

his belt buckle is two halves of an apple! he wears tall thigh-high boots w/ low heels to feel Taller! he has a book-holster hooked to the back of his belt, which holds his grimoire! and he has a lil thigh-bag that has been magicked to be Bottomless and warps size! he can fit pretty much anything in there! canvases! paint! apples!

his half-skirt thing (idk what the word for it is!) is really plush, like a quilt - his capelet is the same fabric. soft, cozy. sometimes he'll use the skirt thing as a blanket in a pinch, or as a picnic placemat!

is his outfit a little Complicated? is it annoying to replicate? yes and yes. but im a maximalist at heart and Nothing But The Best for the blorbo <3 layers my beloved <3

#i know ive said it before but whenever i make an au its essentially an Exploration in a sense #and this fantasy au ~Bog Edition~ is basically me going #'so wally and his house huh. whats up with that' #and maybe im taking it a bit to the extremes #since home is pretty much warlock wally's god??? sorta? loosely?? #well it literally gave wally life and a body. so. #and it also literally took the place of his heart - wally Cannot live without home #they have a fun 'we cant exist without each other now' codependent very devoted kinda unhealthy relationship #wally sometimes has to do terrible things for home #and home will do terrible things in return for wally. even when wally doesnt want them to #and they both love each other very much <3 what kind of love is it <3 fuck if i know! theyre Weird About It though #its the only dynamic an ancient lovecraftian horror & the puppet they gave life & tethered itself to can have!!! #wally wisely keeps home & his 'warlock' status a secret from his friends for as long as he can #they just dont understand his & home's bond smh #scribble salad #welcome home #wh fantasy au #gonna have to workshop barns.... #i need to balance the fantasy + hes a distinguished fella + bard #hence the hat. the hat stays. #gotta find the right vest... #and then everyone else if i feel like it.... #outfit design is so Grueling but i refuse to keep it simple #there have to be LAYERS it has to be IN CHARACTER i have to put ALL THE EFFORT INTO IT

Something I've been thinking a lot recently after becoming a lot more social and going out is like. How different people really LOOK in general. Or rather, I've always seen it but I've been noticing it more. Different body types, different faces, different features.... etc. Everyone is so different looking.

There isn't a way you could possibly gauge how "beautiful" someone is because everyone is so different, and everyone's perception and preferences are different. Someone who you could consider extremely handsome could have deep seated self image issues, and someone who looks unremarkable to you might be someone's ideal.

I feel like being online and constantly exposed to the same types of faces, especially the type of people who become popular online due to the appearance, they always have the same set of features, same set of body types. It's not inherently bad, people do gravitate towards them because there's beauty standards that certain people fit. But in general exposure to people who look all similar rots the brain. It rots your self image. It distances you from your own community as well.

It bleeds into how people handle their relationships, it brings prejudice to people just based on their appearance, and it sucks so much to actually like, fully consciously REALIZE. Everyone is worthy of love, no matter how they look like (this includes you btw!! Yeah you!!! <3) no matter what the media says. It sounds like something sooo obvious but it really is something that grows roots in your brain given the chance and is hard to pull out.

Feeling like you're in an arms race against your peers to "score" someone who you could pass for an instagram model, instead of finding someone who you truly connect with. Having to deeply justify your partners and friendships to your family as being worth it, when they don't look like celebrities on TV and just look like regular people. (This has been my personal experience for a long time, but I feel like theres probably more people who have gone through the same)

"What will other people think? What will my family think?" is something constantly on my mind whenever I make any friends, and im only recently realizing that it really does not matter what they do think what matters is one's own happiness.

Not sure where I am going with this post I just wanted to write it out for a few days now and I finally did it <3 have a swag day

#thunderclap #words #i just think people should live without the constant pressure of appearances both your own and your peers. its literally brainrot #everyone everywhere is so different there are a thousand faces a thousand bodies a thousand features theres eight billion people on earth #its so terrible that we are always focused on the same ones and call them beautiful when theres so much to people in general #does this make any fucking sense? god im so tired but im feeling this a lot recently. man.......... #my own appearance has been both praised and degraded for years years years and its fucked up my way of perceiving people for my whole life #idk... theres so much nuance to this whole conversation ofc i cant fit it all into one (1) post #like... recently realizing my mom is to blame for like 90% of my body image issues has had me reeling. like hello. #dont get me wrong i love her but damn that family can self project their flaws needlessly on the next generation huh

me, writing Danny: you weren't supposed to cry this arc, i swear on my life i didn't mean to make you cry again so soon —

this chapter (danny), holding me by the throat: likely story

“J-Jasper,” he croaks, and the attention is electrifying even though he can’t see it. “Jasper, go away.” That must hurt. Danny doesn’t want it to, but he needs Jasper to not be here right now. There’s some movement, a meow. “... Okay. I’ll just… let me know when I can come back.” Footsteps recede, a long one, two, three. That’s as long as Danny can hold it in — the first sob breaks free on a gasp, and Vlad’s alarm is a dull jab to the ribs.  A hand brushes his shoulder. “Danny — “ “Don’t,” he rasps sharply, the touch making his skin crawl, and huddles down harder on the couch. “Don’t.” 

#silly phonetic #dp x dc #dpxdc #i had the bulk of this chapter planned out and then it just went off the rails and hasnt reached its natural conlusion... it might be 10k #dont quote me on that #now i gotta like... potentially switch two chapters places because it dont make as much sense in the order i have them now #silly snips #i like how my readers were like “the tension!!” and ive been like “huh” cos im dumb #of course danny has to cry... ive been bebding him the entire time just faster than i thought... oops #arguably its been *checks notes* um maybe a year... since danny had a terrible no good (very good) cry so... qho am i defending myself to? #dont worry about it..............

[archivist-the-knight]

also a good way to go into fantasy society worldbuilding or just worldbuilding in general is just to remember "no animal is inheritly evil, no human is inheritly cruel and deserving of punishment for being alive, and no species is deserving of a death penalty simply for how they look. no matter what."

like. if you have a species that say. is being ruled by an evil overlord and as such rules under a very violent society. however if person of that species is taken outside of this society, they can become a better person and learn from their misdeeds. if a member of the species isn't raised inside the walls of this violent society, they'll turn out just how their parents raise them, not how the society expects them to act.

but if you have a society where the species inside of it is "inheritly" seen as evil or stupid, where even raising a child out of this environment they are still mean no matter what. stop. that does not make sense. that gives off a very weird message. it's way more compelling and thoughtful if you state that its an upbringing, or a society, that makes someone who they are, not that its "inherit." holds up hands. back away from the stage a little. no one is inherently evil no matter what even if you dont like them. and especially even if you dont find them pretty or "cool."

#eden mrraps. #it is all about the upbringing about the society and about the culture!!!! #thats why goblins and orcs are so weird. why is an entire culture of people seen as ugly dumb and brutish huh??? #yes i understand they're supposed to be seen as just something you can pit your party against if you need a fight #but... why? why couldn't it be beastly hounds. why did they have to put into the lore that they're inheritly evil so its okay #when even with magic involved that makes zero sense!!! nothing is inheritly terrible dude!!! #there is also the fact that goblins and orcs more often than not are depicted with garb and outfits similar to indigenous especially native #american tribes in a distinct “racist all indigenous people are brutish” way. which i need to bring up because thats why its so fucking #weird. its because it usually kinda reads as racist. #racism cw #ask to tag

[yellowocaballero]

At this point you've written at least four different roleswap AUs, so I was wondering if you had any thoughts or takes about how a roleswap AU should be? - someone who's planning on making a roleswap AU

Please don't remind me. I'm embarrassed about this. I know I need to write other things. I don't know why the AU concept is so incredibly fun to write. I can't explain it. Roleswaps are very easy to write and a lot of fun and involve being a freak about everything. Who wouldn't write 10 of those bitches.

But yes, as someone whose roleswap AUs are like 9 out of her 51 fics, I feel qualified to talk about this. These are just my own opinions and takes, and other people might do it differently - if you write roleswaps too, feel free to add in your two cents!!

Before sitting down to write literally anything I always figure out the rules of the story. Writing is little more than a nonstop series of decisions, and if you abide by the rules of your story or characters then your decisions will be coherent and cohesive. By rules I don't mean worldbuilding - I mean the internal logic of the story and the characters. "X character will never explicitly say how he's feeling" or "the leads have to both win and lose every encounter".

I find establishing writing rules for roleswaps especially important - it's figuring out exactly how the roleswap works. Here are the ones that I find important, and kind of the process:

Decide what is swapped. Is it more of a universal swap, personality swap, backstory swap, chronology swap, or alignment swap? No matter which one you choose, all of these things are probably going to change anyway, but there has to be one central point for each character that guides your decisions. Are you actually swapping the narrative role in the story, or are you just changing it? You have to be really precise and have a very good idea of what exactly is swapped, and it has to be consistent throughout the story. It can't just (just) work on what you'd like to see, it has to be exactly the same between characters.

Decide the point of divergence. Sometimes that point is pretty abstract (She's a teenager in the 90s instead of the 20s). Sometimes it's much more specific, just one moment (He developed his superpowers at this moment instead of that). The point doesn't have to be immediately obvious, but you should know it - I did a backstory swap ages ago, and it seemed like a complete change, but like 150k in I dropped that a character dropped out of the police academy instead of completing it and that her entire life changed from there. If the swap is more abstract, then maybe it's just a series of smaller decisions - character A has these seminal points in his story, and I'm swapping him with character B, so here's what character B did during these seminal points instead, and how it changed him and his narrative.

Decide who the character is. This might be more personal, but for me, I think of the character as...there is a central tenet of them, of who they are as a person, that does not change no matter what. That's three or four traits of who they are, that you will not change, and that's what makes their swapped life their own instead of the OG dude's. But there's a lot of traits and behaviors around that core personality that's the result of their environment, backstory, and experiences. That's what should change. It's about figuring out how these essential traits + what is swapped + the point of divergence = an entirely different character and story. The roleswap you'll end up with will be a combination of all of these things: how the essential aspects of a character mix with what's swapped to create an entirely new environment and set of behaviors, which cause a chain reaction to create something new. As a writer, you sit down and say, "I'm keeping these parts of the character, I'm swapping out those parts, this new mix changes these points in their backstory, this results in this new person".

This is more of a guideline, but it's the most important to me: your characters have to be recognizable as the character. The reader shouldn't go, "this OC is making some weird choices". The reader should go, "I don't know how, because he's the exact opposite of his canon self in every possible way, but somehow he still feels like my favorite character". This is why you isolate those basic traits before changing the rest - so long as your character is still who they are deep inside, then they still feel like that character. And that's the fun of the story. You're selling something insane, and the reader is buying it.

It's a lot of really heavy character work. You have to really understand the characters you're writing - the less I get the original character, the more issues I'm perpetually having. I tend to fly fast and loose with characterizations, but when writing roleswaps I have to refer back to canon and the source material a lot ("In canon he did X thing, with his newly different backstory how would that decision change?"). The more you're rooted in canon, then the funkier and more divergent you can get.

Personally, I like to play a fun little game I call: how exactly opposite can I make this character until he stops feeling like this character? I Sometimes my goal in writing is "how deeply can I ruin this story". This is not a good game and people should not play it. I find that the lazier I get about getting in touch with the canon character, about keeping track of the canon decisions, and about following these guidelines, then the more difficult a story is to write. If you structure a story well then it's easy to write, and roleswaps are pretty easy. Thanks for the question!

why does Rick Riordan hate the original myths so bad 💀

the Asphodel stuff?? regret? where is that coming from? you fully just made that shit up? out of his ass fr. the fields of Asphodel are specifically an area of neutrality, where the pretty much all mortals go when they die. it's for anyone who lived a normal life, who isn't a hero or a literal monster. it's specifically a neutral zone for people to exist once they die, it has nothing to do with ~your regrets in life~. it's like, a peaceful field of flowers where all your life's troubles are left behind on the surface.

the closest things to that is the fields of mourning/sorrow, but that's specifically for unrequited romantic love and also not called the fields of Asphodel (and also I'd bet money that rr doesn't know what that is) (and also only in Virgil's The Aeneid and not the Odyssey with the rest of what we know of the underworld)

#the fields of Asphodel are so so personal to me as someone who practices helpol too #like thats such a stupid and nonsensical change #just straight up fibbing for fun #and for what? a half baked poorly writted one off scene?? #like he really just hates the myths huh #this and how he depicts a lot of the gods (namely ares Aphrodite and athena) #snd HERA #GODS #i forgot about that originally he fucking SLANDERS hera #for no reason #hes is such a MAN he cannot write a well wrotted female character for the life of him goodness gracious #and Persephone too!! with how she treats nico #“he would not fucking say that” but its me to about how rr depicits the gods #and mostly the female ones too #he writes all of them terribly but its noticable how he is nice to the “misunderstood men” like Hephaestus and Hades #but then slanders the women #and what he said about Aphrodite when asked where she was in tlo!! “oh she was probably busy doing her makeup hahaha” #ill kill you. like what the fuck?? #this got horribly off topic oops oops #percy jackson #percy jackon and the olympians #pjo tv show

do you guys remember when Attack On Titan had a fucking Looney Tunes Babies style spin off where all the characters were in junior high and the titans were just bullies and eren was mad at them because they ate his hamburg steak and it was legitimately better than the original

#yui rambles #dont ask me why i randomly remembered #i often think about attack on titan #about how its first season was one of the most promising new shows at the time #it felt so refreshing and full of life and energy and ideas and something to say #and then you reach a certain point in the story and youre like #...huh this is weird #and you keep reading/watching and start wondering what's wrong #and then at a certain point it just hits you #and youre like woah! wait! #i get it! #the author is not a good writer! #this pacing sucks! the reveals suck! #i get it now! the beginning of the story was a fluke! #attack on titan's legacy was carried on an extremely promising intro section and a very competently made anime adaptation #but not even the sick art style and incredible action scenes could save a story so shoddily told imo #and then you reach the end and its like wow. so the thing you had to say was awful. #sorry i dont mean to swing at a hornets nest #i just think about it because when a story nosedives that hard its like. a case study for me #whatevs this is all my opinion no disrespect if you like it #but even if you like it i think you HAVE to be aware that the point being made with the story is a pretty fucking terrible one #anyway this post got fucking derailed in the tags lmao my point is attack on titan junior high was legit funny and had a better ending lmao

i love yaoi jokes as much as the next guy theyre genuinely funny a lot of the time but yaoi isnt just a punchline dammit its a real and valuable form of queer art!!!! yaoi deserves to exist unironically fucka you. it doesnt exist just for haha funny and then stomp on ground like its Problematique. its just a word to describe a genre of stories abt gay men

#wishy speaks #general You here btw #it baffles me that people GENUINELY think yaoi is problematic #like it's literally just gay anime boys. it can be as genuine as any other art form and often Is #people really think being a fujo or fudanshi is a terrible thing? huh? #the older i get the more i realize its all repackaged queerphobia in one form or another #mixed with anti japanese rhetoric as a treat #gahhh sorry for srsposting ill go to bed in a sec lmao #i wanted to just make a joke but grrr thinking too hard and deep for joke #not that coherent bc sleepy but you get what i mean

Excuse me i’ll just be thinking about Barnaby being dropped in a it’s a wonderful (terrible) life timeline where Kotetsu never met Mr Legend. Never had anyone show him that his powers could be used for good. That they were anything but a curse that made him destructive and terrifying.

Barnaby stumbling around confused after the time skip and being Deeply unsettled by the fact Half the hero’s are different. Sure Fire Emblem, Sky High and Dragon kid are there along with the new kids but Blue Rose retired last year, Origami got cut, no one’s even Heard of Rock Bison much less Wild Tiger. There is no buddy system. Fire emblem asks him if he’s okay. His leg aches, muscle deep and their brow furrows in concern. “You wrecked it during that fight with Jake.”

They offer to call Maverick for him. “Under No circumstance-” Work calls.

It’s all about the points. Getting the right angle. Shot. “It’s a hero’s job to save people!” “I think that’s all the proof we need for a head injury, right guys?” “Shut up Ryan and stop sabotaging Cat!” “Make me!”

It’s awful. A nightmare that won’t end. He stumbles to Kotetsu’s apartment after only to be met with strangers. Has to put in a massive order with Liquors Kabugari to met him at all. Kotetsu grumbles about rich assholes doing whatever they want- couldn’t he order from someone in Sternbild? Is greeted by a giant empty apartment. “What hoping to pay your friends in alcohol to help you move in Mr Hero?” Catches the Oh wait you probably don’t have those muttered under his breath.

“You really don’t remember Kotetsu?” “Remember...? Bunny’s got a few screws loose i guess.”

Has him pinned to the wall a second later. “You called me bunny. You have to Remember Kotetsu!”

“What- Jezz Look i only called you that cause you’ve got those pink ears and are always hopping about on the TV! Let me go!”

“Make me. Use your power to make me. I know it’s the exact same as mine!”

He manages to drag Kotetsu to the training center. Everyone’s pretty sure he’s lost it, insisting this beer belly old guy is a Veteran hero. Are rushing to stop him when he tells Kotetsu he’s going to use one Hundred Power on him- better use yours unless you want to be severely injured.

Kotetsu launches him through the wall into the simulation room. Laughs about how they should file a complaint cause that was some cheap plaster huh?

He gets dragged on the next mission in a mask Barnaby clearly made out of paper and one of his old suits- that they literally only had time to turn from pink lights to green. He’s death gripping Barnaby as they fly through traffic. It’s the first time, Kotetsu admits - you asked why i never got married - he hasn’t held anyone in years. “The last person i held was my mom. I broke her ribs because of this stupid power. Glad it worked out for you but all it did for me was make me hurt people!”

“Your power lets you save people. That’s what were going to do, right now.”

It doesn’t... go great. But he saves one little girl. Lowers her slow to the ground and she thanks him before running to her mom - in sudden tears.

“See? Told you. It went great.” “... You call that great? I think i pulled my shoulder.” “Stop complaining old man and turn to the camera.” “Camer-Huh?”

“Introducing my new partner- Wild Tiger!”

(Is he allowed to do that? Definitely not. But THINK of the ratings! Air it Now. Legal can sort it out later!)

“... can i get out of this suit now? I can barely see out of it.”

“After the interviews.”

What are your Ted lasso ships, if you don’t mind me asking? I love your art but I’m curious what ships you enjoy, and whether you’ve drawn all the ships you like or if you have some ships you enjoy but haven’t drawn.

I’m a huge fan of Jamie and Dani as a ship, but I don’t think there are any artists who draw that so now I’m just curious what the other ships are that people really like. :)

oh!! this is a fun question! :D i actually like two aces (Jamie/Dani) as a ship too and yeah i agree that they dont get drawn enough honestly 😭 but for my ships, Ted/Trent is very obviously one of my favorites, and with liking Ted obsessively i normally just like ships including him like Ted/Rebecca or Ted/Beard. just basically most of the well known ships i could get into (like Roy/Jamie/Keeley [try-angles!] for example) :-]

also i have.. SO many characters id love to draw but just havent had the motivation to do so which SUUUCKS because i really really love Jan Maas and Moe Bumbercatch (not as a ship! i just think theyre very silly) 💛💛

#i like ships i like making two silly characters kiss ! but when one ship grips my mind terribly its harder for me to draw anything else.. #id love to hear other people's rarepairs though!!! i think its fun :-] #ted/roy is a ship i just cannot for the life of me get into though. everytime i think about it im just like HUH ?! #trent/beard is also REALLY fun to think about... behind a gay man (trent) is an even bigger gay man (piggy stardust beard) #also ALSO!!! ive actually had a similar conversation about this with a friend but instead of ships me and a friend (hi pops!) talked about #random pairs that could have the wildest friendships like beard and sam. will and trent. colin and rebecca #i just wanted to see more dialogues between characters that barely talked to each other honestly #idk!! i just think it could be really fun ^_^ #pn.ask #beard and sam are having the wildest karaoke nights btw

AND OBVIOUSLY EVERYTHING ELSE SHES DONE #i beg on my hands and knees clasping my hands together to stop woobifying the female villains. in my eyes it’s actually sexist #because noooo a woman can never be held reprehensible for her evils 🥲🥲 they just weak wittle babies who do nuthin wrong!!!! #like no fuck off. that’s sexist. genuinely to me. #and the sexism extends to the men too. i want to hope merc will get redeemed but we’re talking about this show. #male victims of abuse get either swept aside or ignored or KILLED. #and no man in this show except for JAUNE and I guess james can ever show emotion EVER EVER because EMOTIONS ARE FOR GIRLS #AND JF THEY SHOW THAT EMOTION ANY EMOTION ITS CUZ THEYRE WEAK. UNLESS UR A GOOD GUY LOLOLOL #this show’s got the maul’s lightsaber of sexism huh

wind waker ganon thoughts?

it has been. Checks notes. yeah ten years since i played wind waker so im very rusty on my ganondorf knowledge in that game ngl,,

i WILL say i like that they gave him actual, genuine motivation (that being to help the gerudo out of the desert) and i wiiiish they would SHOW THAT more OFTEN. an interesting note abt the triforce trio is how their roles almost always superscede their intentions or wants or situations and no matter what they do they always end up as knight, princess, or villain respectively. like. botw zelda wants to be a researcher and a scientist and puts so much energy into it bc she thinks theres no other way, but she ends up as the princess with the sealing power trapped with the villain anyway. oot link is just a kid who wants to do the right thing, but she HAS to be the hero with the sword, so shes literally made into one. i wish we had something for ganondorf like that-- like, it starts with wanting good things for the gerudo and negotiations and treaties, and it ends with him deciding to burn it all to the ground because he *has* to, its in his blood and its etched into the back of his hand just as much as link and zeldas roles are to them. and suddenly its not, "i resent hyrule for what they did to my people," its "i want all of hyrule to burn and suffer because its what it deserves." but nintendo is allergic to doing anything interesting or compelling with ganondorf so :/

#like in totk its implied he just flat out does not care about the gerudo at all. hes all the willing to force them into underground shelters #and plague them with sandstorms and undead hellspawn just to prevent ONE OF THEM from siding with link #idk maybe it wouldve been cool to like. go to gerudo desert. and see thst nothings plaguing them. At first. #and then u go to that big building that houses riju and the guards. and buliaria is standing in front of the chair #she tells you riju is unavailable and shell be back soon and that for now you have to answer to her #and you go into the guard barracks and you find out theres a search for riju that started with the upheaval and that #everyone is hiding the fact that they dont know where she is. and the quest involves link finding her and awakening her sage abilities #and in doing so we're told directly that ganondorf only attacked riju because he didnt want all of the gerudo to suffer when only one could #Its still ruthless. but itd give him a little character yk #and if nintendo wants to keep thar structure where a majority of side quests are locked until u finish the main one of an area. #Say theres like... a festival... and riju is crucial to it... and so a bunch of stores n shit are closed until she comes back and it happens #and in the meantime u can have merchants and teachers or whatever be like. My business will suffer if riju doesnt come back! #wherever could she be!! #idk they couldve done better than one throwaway line about 'i cant believe hed attack his own people he really is terrible huh. Anyways'
