finally got enough ideas formed for these characters whose basic things have been sloshing around in my brain for a couple months to try and design them enough to introduce them today. also i wanted to design another lion. this is dominic and his daughter carmen! i wanted art of them interacting in this post but ive spent like five hours staring at my laptop so expect it some other time lol
little fun tag i want to add onto this, it occurred to me while deciding on carmens species and i talked abt it w averi cuz it was an interesting concept to me; hybrid animals are named using the first half of the fathers name, but carmen has two biological fathers ('fathers' only technically since only ones her DAD and present in her life), so out of her choices she calls herself a liger instead of a tigon bcuz her tiger parent wasnt involved and it would be confusing to random ppl if her dad and her didnt use it lol. the times she did meet him were probably like chance run-ins dominic had with him while she was there

im off the thought that most of these warriors losses are due to coaching decisions (wrong lineups) and bad luck (injuries, dray out so no defense, random nba players turning into steph curry on the 3 line— grizzlies 3rd unit hitting TWENTY 3s on them today????) but today’s loss was just so indefensible and bad that its actually hilarious. the silly and stupid and pathetic 18 turnovers, icing out klay completely— just no one at all on the warriors trying to find him i mean 5 attempts until the 4th quarter are you serious— and then sitting steph and trying to run a “save us klay” lineup with 6 minutes left in the 4th when he’s ice cold due to your own offense choices its just very very hilarious. TJD butter fingers and Podz too many attempts not enough shots and a shit ton of fouling lol not their best game but i also think theyre just rookies and honestly have put a lot on their shoulders due to just. everything thats happened this year lol.
there’s things out of our control that we could be mad about (our lack of calls as usual and the 5v8 i mean the amount of FTA the grizzlies got esp considering we got to the paint more than they did so thats just ridiculous lol) but at the end of the day they didnt play hard enough and severely underestimated the grizzlies due to their injuries which was just. so so pathetic like whatever this loss the warriors truly did this to themselves

Tagged by @szivtalan! It's supposed to be the last line of a WIP but I haven't written in a really long time -- too sick and too busy unfortunately. I miss it! So thank you for tagging me in this so I can blow the dust off the last thing I wrote. I tweaked it a bit to post here but I'm still pretty rusty so forgive me if it's cringe.
Part of an au series I'm working on with @gojousfutureexmalewife! Thanks for being my inspiration for this, I love our au! Also this got rly long so I cut it off with a cliffhanger xo
The evening sun settles on Tim, illuminating him in soft amber, a glowing halo casting off his dark hair. He looks ethereal, Kon thinks, and nearly cracks up at the thought. Ethereal is not a word he'd ever use to describe Tim, but here he is looking beautiful against the dusky Kansas sky and it's the only thing Kon can think of.
His chest gets tight and a million scenarios run through his head of all the reasons he should not do this but before he can stop himself, Kon blurts, "I think I love you."
His hand claps against his mouth and he can feel the heat searing in his cheeks as Tim turns, perplexed, but says with a grin, "I know. I love you too."
The words aren't a revelation -- they're not meant in the way Kon means it, he knows. Of all times to be confessing, it shouldn't be now. Not when Tim came here to escape all that; to figure himself out after things didn't work out with Steph; after they didn't work out with Bernard. It wouldn't be fair. He came to Smallville to get away from it all. He came here because Kon is his friend, and friends aren't supposed to let their feelings complicate things. Friends aren't supposed to be selfish in their time of need. But if Kon is being honest, the moment feels right. And the words just keep on coming.
"No," Kon says through his palm. "I think I'm in love with you."
Tim's back is turned as he adjusts the bales of hay onto the truck and Kon doesn't start to panic that he can't see a reaction until Tim stops abruptly, midway through a haul. He straightens, and Kon covers his face quickly, his fingers sliding through the beads of sweat along his hairline. His heart is racing, blood rushing through his veins and thundering in his ears. He knows it's hot out but damn he feels on fire, like an insect trapped beneath a magnifying glass under the July sun.
Kon peaks through his fingers and Tim has straightened but he still hasn't turned around and the longer this draws out, the more Kon feels like he's going to be sick. Chalk it up to heatstroke if Ma asks. Do supers even get heatstroke?
"Tim?" Kon croaks, letting the hand covering his face drop to his side. "Tim, buddy -- please say something."
Tagging @gojousfutureexmalewife , @furiosity, @imaginarydragonling , @tenacityreturns , and anyone else who feels like doing this! Sorry I can't remember who writes anymore :')
