a message from the only person behind The Sweet Crossover Collection:
hello everyone, how are you doing?
I simply just wanna say, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
I hope you all have a pleasant time bonding with families and friends during this period of time, even more pleasant as what the hell is happening in the artwork.
That's pretty much it, and be sure to stay up to date for more updates and previews very soon!
Uma vez eu fi alguém falando que o Enzo odiaria Carnaval, mas pra mim ele seria muito o amigo que toma corote de maracujá, que ama o Carnaval de Salvador e que segue trio elétrico do lado na namorada usando um short tactel, havaianas, a bolsinha da câmera (óbvio) e que foca sem camisa pra se pintar todo. e todo Carnaval ele posta alguma foto com a namorada com uma legenda de música do Bell Marques.
ps: ele com certeza aluga uma casa no mato com os amigos pra passar o feriado.
nossa, pra mim ele é o mais puro suco do carnaval de santa teresa aqui no rio, nesses bloquinhos mais tradicionais ou que tocam músicas da mpb em estilo de marchinha. mas também super vejo ele acompanhando um trio elétrico por aí, especialmente se for de axé. mesmo que seja um tumulto sem igual e ele tenha aversão a multidão, acho que ele sempre abre uma exceção durante o carnaval ─ ele é encantado por toda a mística e cultura por trás, ainda que, quando adolescente, tenha jurado a festa de morte.
consigo super imaginar ele vestindo um abadá, segurando uma latinha de cerveja e seu bom cigarro enquanto canta baianidade nagô da bamdamel (não foi à toa que coloquei essa na playlist dele rs). enzo sabe todas as músicas de axé antigas, e canta todas agarradinho em você, debaixo do sol de quarenta graus. e com um sorriso no rosto, tá?
os óculos escuros na cara e a pochete com a câmera e protetor solar. e ainda acho que, se ele estiver muuuito no clima, ainda vai pedir pra você colocar um pouquinho de glitter nas bochechas dele pra vocês saírem combinando na rua.
acho que ele é apaixonado pelos desfiles de escola de samba. não só vai ficar acordado até de madrugada pra assistir todas elas, mas também sabe todos os samba-enredo, mesmo que tenha uma preferência pela vila. não vejo ele desfilando, mas o maior sonho dele é assistir um desfile na sapucaí.
The contenders have been chosen! A whopping 256 characters have been sent to me. Brackets will take awhile to be made but the tournament will start when I'm ready.

i decided to unite my love for maps and for OT and make a map of the distribution of OT contestants from OT 2017 - 2023 in regards to their residence* because i find it so fascinating, like yeah it does kinda follow where major urban centers concentrate but also why is there so little people in valència? so many in iruña specifically? how is that outside madrid the only other OT contestant from castile is from guadalajara from all places???

@merryfinches posted about making a cover of “Santa Baby” with Samba’s name in it, and here we are. This labor of love is a gift to him for sharing all of that yummy BTS footage with us. Thank you, Samba!
What are some "Horny on main" F/GO Servant designs that don't really bother you, and why?
This is actually kind of a difficult question to answer for a couple of reasons: first, I don't really pay attention to FGO anymore, and second because there are just so many FGO Servant designs and so many of them are so horny that it's kind of hard to narrow it down. For the purposes of this question, I'll be ignoring stuff like Scathach/Medusa/the majority of the swimsuit Servants that are just "attractive woman (or occasionally man) in clothes sexier than a burlap sack" and focusing on the designs that are horny horny.
Barghest: The guy drawing Barghest knew exactly what he wanted and set out to make it happen and it rules, except for the part where he forgot to give her the arms she deserves
Queen Medb (more in terms of personality): It's relatively true to her legend (and if anything somewhat understated)
Kiara: It's kind of her thing
Artoria Pendragon Maid Alter: Her design is hella horny but also so ridiculous it wraps back around to being funny, and the fact that it's Saber Alter just makes it infinitely better.
Francis Drake: They didn't have to give El Draque huge boobs and a titty window, but they did, and it rules.
Summer Suzuka Gozen: She's, like... damn.
Queen of Sheba: she is very fluffy and I want to touch her ears.
Irisviel: I will never not laugh at her final Ascension.
Both Koyanskayas: This woman idolizes Hugh Hefner it's so fucking funny she's such a goon
Mata Hari: I mean... she's a stripper.
Summer Musashi's design is so ridiculous I love it
Artoria Ruler was made specifically for me
Santa Samba Quetzalcoatl is so silly I can't help but love it
I love Avenger Kama and her burning bush
They did not need to go as hard as they did with Gorgon but I love them for it please choke me with your tail mommy
I will begrudgingly add Minamoto no Raikou to this list because I like her as a character and as a unit and I think the fundamental idea of her design is solid, I just wish Raita ever bothered drawing women that looked like actual people instead of blowup dolls
