“Coffee run,” Harley announces in lieu of a greeting, letting himself in through the window. You could’ve sworn it was locked.

He grabs his pencil from where it was tucked behind his ear and flips open a battered notebook.

“Who’s first? Goin’ to Charrbucks, if that makes a difference.”

(invitation for as many oc starbucks orders as u please!)

(Oooh, oc starbucks orders, excellent excellent!!)

Kerra looks up and smiles. "Oh! Thank you, much appreciated. One of the iced tea lemonades, if they have it--peach is good. And a muffin? I don't care what type."

Rel raises a hand. "Black coffee with extra espresso for me. However much extra espresso they'll put in."

Minei considers for a moment. "Dark chocolate mocha?"

Cio's the last to chime in. "Nitro cold brew, please! Thanks."

RHYTHM DOCTOR FAN SPOTTED!!!! YOUR VIDEOS ARE SO COOL WHAT THE HECK?!? also your brush is cool, i’ve been using it and it’s really nice 👌. Any advice for just drawing and art in general?

RD GANG YEAAAAAA also thank you i really appreciate it 😭 

im glad you like the brush as well!! as for advice i cant really say i could give like actual professional tips since im still learning art myself, tho i will be sharing what helped me at least (under the cut since i think this is gonna be pretty long wbhwbhb)

when it comes to drawing in general, one of the things that helped me the most can be summarized in this tweet 

drawing rhythm doctor fanart for a year unironically helped me with posing, anatomy, coloring and improve with my artstyle which is funny since it's essentially the brainrot keeping me going

the best way i could explain this as advice is to find subjects or topics youre passionate about. it could be making fanart for your favorite media (me </3), making ocs, drawing environments, and just anything youre happy with. while it's important to get out of your comfort zone to learn, it's important to be comfortable with art first 

also!! please!! dont make art *just* for the sake of posting dont be like me during my artstreet days im begging you 😭😭😭. of course this doesnt apply to every artist, since im sure there are people who do need to post consistently. but if you draw solely because you enjoy it, please remember to keep it that way and prioritize yourself! lots of rd art i made are self indulgent that i just so happened to post, which is honestly why i made so much art now that i think about it 💀

initially i was gonna add a color tutorial here so it's in one singular post but it's almost 1 am and probably for the best that i just do it tomorrow lmao

edit: tutorial pt 2 yippee

#rhythm doctor #chiimo art shenanigans #self indulgent mv art because i can <3 #this ask really made my day btw!! thanks a bunch :D #chiimo ask shenanigans

Second request: baby todd and Jake fluff perhaps? 💖

Day 12 - Little hands, my one weakness

#My art #Requestober #Vargas #Edgar #Jake #Todd #Uncle Jake! :D #It's funny ♪ I actually asked how Jake might react to baby Todd while I was still making a bunch of those doodles #But I never actually drew anything from it! Even though it's so cute! #I did fully intend to - so I'm glad I can now! :D Thanks for the reminder haha #Jake so nervous with Just how baby this baby is haha - he's so much bigger than this little one! #It's all well and good to hold Edgar - he's an adult! As much as he wants to give him a good hug haha #But little ones are just so fragile! It's nerve-wracking ♥ It's sweet hehe 💕 #Babies are built tough - he'll be asking for uppies and spins and to be thrown around before you know it lol #I do love the idea of Edgar having not only a good support system as a single(?) parent - #Being able to ask Devi and Jake for help when he needs it and raises a family as a group! It takes a village #But also of him settling into the parent role and being confident in places that others aren't #He can be quite capable but he's also often prone to being kicked while he's down haha poor lad #Seeing him confident and happy to have someone to rely on and have Jake defer to him on I just jfdlsafjd ♥💕💖 #Directing his hands in return <3 They uplift each other!! It can be so sweet

🐀 — Are they friends with any rats?

For grace

🪞 — Do they enjoy being in Parabola? Why or why not?

For twich

🐀 — Are they friends with any rats?

sadly not, grace is ratphobic :(

he's still firmly in his surface sailor mindset of "rats just get into the food stores and cause problems" and is Not used to them speaking!!!

also he probably ate rats stuck in the arctic. he feels bad learning how sentient they are. guilt overload

🪞 — Do they enjoy being in Parabola? Why or why not?

i think twitch has a lot of mixed feelings on parabola, and dreaming stuff in general, bc of a terrible & fuzzy past with red honey stuff (i should really make a post about that huh)

they like the different environment of parabola, and discovering things that people have lost. collecting memories, secrets, desires & all that is exactly their thing, after all! something about seeing people's truer selves they keep hidden in mirrors is very enticing to them

on the flipside, though, they hate how weird it makes them feel. parabola makes them feel...distorted? vague? like losing a sense of who they are.

as someone so confident in themselves in the waking world, it's an unsettling feeling. especially around the waswood. there's something in there they feel like they should be looking for, and it drives them crazy that they don't know what.

in short, i think they love parabola when they're on a mission centered around other people. whether it's doing favours or a job for someone else, or looking for gossip about someone else they want to find

but they hate doing anything related to themself in parabola. they hate being alone with their thoughts while awake, and it only gets worse here.

[secretdazedragon]

I cannot express how happy I am to see your Lost art! I just recently rewatched the show and was thinking that I was sad the show was released before online fandom really took off, so there isn't a lot of fanart and other stuff for it. So thank you for absolutely getting me so excited when I saw your work! I absolutely adore the way you draw Ben in particular.

Aww thank you! I get what u mean, it would be nice too see more content for it for sure! And I'm glad to provide a little sometimes haha

#asks #c: thank you! #ben and a little birdie in the corner #i love ben as a menace but i also love ben as a nice high school teacher it's really a tough choice #have this old doodle of him as my appreciation :D #also i should post my doodles of the others too i have a bunch of sayid and claire sketches

For Nisha: how does Kerra act around Canach?

Nisha blinks and stares at you for a second before the corner of xyr mouth quirks up a little. "How does Lin act around--why ask me?"

You stay and wait for an answer, so Nisha just tilts xyr head back and to the right, indicating where Kerra and Canach are talking. You can't hear what they're saying, but Kerra has the expression of someone who is simultaneously intently focused on whatever's being discussed, incredibly endeared, and approximately two seconds from laughing. Canach has the expression of someone who fully intended to cause all those emotions and is a little self-satisfied about it.

"She acts happy," Nisha says, xyr smile widening slightly as xe glances back at the two of them. "What did you expect?"

#gw2 #nishannai #oak and ash and thorn #forbiddenredjollyrancher #thanks a bunch for the ask! :D #nisha is confused but also is using this as an opportunity to be like 'my partners are the Best' asl;kjdf #also i gotta ask: why is the red jolly rancher forbidden i am so curious #love the url i just would like to know as;ljdkf

🖊?

oh hey. dusts this off. i have a new oc to write about :)

ive started playing fallen london recently so: say hi to maethyl fallow! a "devious and watchful individual of mysterious and indistinct gender." she also forgor (most of her lore is based around forgetting - her backstory is that she got lost in a cave of irrigo, an eldritch color that makes you forget when you look at it for too long.)

their story begins in fucking prison <3. all she knows is that her imprisonment is unjust - and, more importantly, inconvenient. so! they and an unlucky devil make their way out and become friends. she discovers that she's here in london for the wonder of the place - she has a lot to relearn, after all. on their escape, the devil leaves, but they're still friends :)

she decides to go to spite, one of four cities of fallen london. this is a place all about stealth, full of crime - mostly pickpocketing. they spend their first week or two here homeless and lost, doing both a lot of courier jobs and a lot of theft. i eventually learn how to travel (attributed to her memory loss of the world around her), and also get a home. yay!

after some mysterious communication with a benefactor, plus accessing the shops, she finally has better clothing than a prisoner's outfit. a maid outfit (and some shiny shoes!). this decreases their shadowy (stealth) stat but it was hilarious so i did it anyway

after some more stealing, a few courier jobs, and meeting a rat in her rented attic room, she makes her way to the carnival. she does just a little more theft, got her fortune read, and went to the mirror area. big mistake.

editing note: hey, this was right! she went on a journey to nightmare hell, and found plenty of mushrooms in her bath. the newspaper and poetry ones are kinda unknown, but the journalist storyline may fufill those.

for context: mae's discovered the joy of promenading - in the crowds of spite, a new location, you can go on trips and try stealing from various people. here, mae steals from a prison guard, gaining nightmares 1. she's also stabbed by jack for trying to steal from him (it was a like 20% chance), gaining wounds 2. hooray!

she looks into a mirror of nightmares, and upon looking closer due to the lack of a reflection, falls straight in. she is now in a world of madness, where all is red and gold and her nightmares increase to 8, described as "raving" (and right below "THEY'RE COMING THEY'RE COMING THEY'RE COMING," at 7).

bitch, you are trapped in the nightmare dimension.

anyway, it's like a hotel. they have rooms to stay, food and drink to serve, and other places for guests, reception, etc.. while mae has become paranoid, haunted by her nightmares in the form of encroaching mist in the corner of her eye, the guests are just as insane as she is. somehow, she cant help but find them welcoming, and has a few good interactions with some of them.

notably, without anything else to do (see: i was impatient), mae basically waterboarded herself for a day or two. you're able to drink from the fountain in the lobby if you like, which can decrease your nightmares stat. failing this will knock down your persuasion stat, though.

guess who reached 0 persuasion (but hey, nightmares 6!)?

after becoming a donkey a few times, she eventually stops waterboarding herself to find that she has forgotten how to speak and think properly, let alone eloquently. she does still converse with the guests a few times, but she's pretty much talking like a kid now.

during all of this, i also draw cards for some other interactions, among them being: met a white cat a few times, a lizard appeared in her room twice, fungal infestations in the bath, and the view outside her room being various things. she's been wanting to speak to the manager since day 1, damn it. and speaking of drawing, i also drew some art of maethyl gone mad!

although the guests (and water) are awfully convincing about how this place is better than fallen london - i mean, the red and gold is quite pretty, and the service is great, too - she eventually looks out of her window one last time before finding herself awake in her room. she's probably spent ~2 weeks in there. they are themselves again! as their nightmares stat dropped and mae became less paranoid, a melancholy took it's place, though (she just has melancholy 1).

well, on she goes. more promenading ensues, a few cards are drawn, and she regains some stats from the rat she talked to. she also befriends an urchin kid.

eventually, on intercepting courier routes, she snatches a brown letter containing blackmail on a journalist. he sells it for something more practical - the heartless route, where they gain 2 heartless (a quirk, similar to melancholy).

(steadfast is gained later - subtle is from drinking some healing stuff from a bottle and following the instructions exactly. this is what brought her wounds down to 1.)

later, she meets that same journalist, and does a few jobs for him with her stealthiness. she then tracks him down, growing suspicious, as his newspaper's never shown up anywhere, and what use does he have for the info she's getting? he's found doing some boring stuff, but she does overhear him at a bar, talking about his clients and other things, that basically proved mae right. she's then contacted by a different journalist for a different newspaper - she gets some findings, but what use do they have for this, either? in the end, she tracks both of them down to a fighting ring, where they laugh about their dimwitted employers... among other things (i forgor). she learns their secrets and plans to use the knowledge somehow, rather than blackmail them for money.

in the meantime, she's had a drink with someone, having a toast to the cheery man, ruthless but a man of his word. here is where she gains 2 steadfast!

she's currently area-diving, planning an escapade through the lower stairs for valuables. it's not done yet, though.

and that's all for her so far! personality-wise, they're quite eccentric, with a few friends both animal and human. they're outgoing and friendly (or at least polite), but their voice has an eerie quality to it that may turn some people away. they struggle with their words sometimes, too.

beyond that, though, she's quite stealthy, adjusting well to spite. she's even become a bit heartless, disconnected from those around her. honestly, that nightmare realm trip may have affected her more than it seems.

behind all of it, though, is... an odd melancholy. like the fog of her dreams that not even she can see through. perhaps it's something she's forgotten.

we all got that home with an indescribable sadness /ref

#maethyl fallow #fl ocs #i may or may not have a new hyperfixation. #and a mae fictive too <3 #im open to more asks about mae btw!!! #beans (experienced player who got me into the game) said 'Your character is such a mess. I love them' and yeah. shes a mess but i love her #beans also gave me her backstory! so if youre reading this thanks a bunch :D now i know why i forgor -mae #irrigo still interests me. no idea what it is obviously but ill be on the hunt for it once im able to be -m

fanfic tropes: casefic? curse breaking? coffeeshop au?

(re: enemies to lovers, natürlich hast du recht, sobald ein extremes Machtgefälle im Spiel ist, ist es nicht mehr wirklich enemies to lovers, mmn. Das sieht nicht jeder so, und solche fics sind trotzdem oft als enemies to lovers kategorisiert - nicht unbedingt objektiv falsch. Leute dürfen falsche unterschiedliche Meinungen dazu haben. Klar, wenn ich alles, was mir nicht gefällt, ausschließe, liebe ich diesen trope. no true scotsman enemies to lovers XD)

>> Leute dürfen falsche unterschiedliche Meinungen dazu haben.

Genau. :P (Es gibt ja auch keine Tags, die das stärker ausdifferenzieren. Seien wir mal gnädig. 😇)

/german

Casefic: B. Unavoidable in certain current fandoms ;) , like to read it because I feel like authors really put effort into research and get extremely creative. Provides a plot thread for a fic, which is always good, and also offers something for the investigators to project onto.

Curse breaking: Ohhh, difficult. Generally I'd say B. Especially creative versions that don't lead up to true love's (romantic) kiss. If well written, I do like curse breaking fics where a terrible price is paid.

(Bonus: curse breaking case fic à la Rivers of London!)

Coffeeshop AU: C. Can be very cute and heartwarming, but I've simply read too much of it - it needs something extra to get me invested.

#thank you <3 #bookshelfdreams #ask thingy #tropes #fanfiction #love my bunch of only correct people on this site full of the worst takes imaginable etc. :D #ich hab mal einen ziemlich guten post zu enemies to lovers gerebloggt ich schau mal ob ich den finde #& sorry dass ich dir nichts geschickt habe ich bringe gerade so die energie auf deinen worten zu courtly love zu applaudieren <3 #german stuff #partly #loquor

[xiaojuun]

teubun here, I love that nickname 🐇 I loved reading ur reply sm! I love LOVE hearing people talk abt smithing they love so much and are so passionate about 🩷🥺 I will check everything u said soon !! esp wanna watch that variety u said. the last thing u said abt their friendships was so endearing it made my heart flutter 💓💓 so I wanted to ask what dynamics and friendships do u see in treasure?

omg yaaay pls keep me posted on everything you check out! 💖 and i'm so glad you're also a dynamic / friendship enthusiast sjgknfj there are so many good ones in trsr ... i ended up writing so much again JKSGB and i still am like this is barely even scratching the surface 😂

they all went through a lot together with their survival show (yg treasure box aka ygtb aka my behated) but even before that, a few of them were trainees together for a really long time (hyunsuk, junkyu, yedam, jihoon, and doyoung in korea; yoshi, haruto, mashiho and asahi in japan). hyunsuk basically helped raise doyoung, that's how young he was when they started training together, they're still one of my favorite duos because of that. some of my favorite friendships that i think are like, very real / would exist outside of the context of the group: jihoon and junkyu (total soulmate same age friends, they are HILARIOUS together), jaehyuk and asahi (another same age pair, i think they really bring out the best in each other), haruto and asahi (literally could have had their own rooms but opted to share one instead so that they could make a hangout room and work on music together), and then jeongwoo and jaehyuk (these two are honestly more like actual brothers) -- and that unit of the 4 of them (0104 line!) are basically a functioning family lol they are ALWAYS together in some combination or another. i also love the friendship and dynamic between jihoon and hyunsuk as coleaders, i think it was so smart to have both of them leading the group, they complement each other really well and again there is so much mutual respect and a shared vision for the type of culture they wanted to create for the entire group. you can tell how much the other members look up to them 🥹 yoshi and hyunsuk are also a duo that are often together, junghwan is often with 0104 as well, i really miss yedam with doyoung and junkyu specifically, and mashiho with doyoung 🥲 jeongwoo and any of his hyungs is absolutely hilarious. asahi finding junkyu to be the funniest member is a fun fact that i really love also lol like it's kind of unexpected but it makes sense - there's a lot of little fun bits like that within a group so big.

i also recommend checking out their t-talks where they pair 2 members up to chat (they just rebooted this series with new videos recently, but there are older ones that are really fun to watch bc some of the pairs are still super awkward at the time lol), it's cool to see some duos that you don't normally see opting to hang out together. really any combination will give you something interesting -- if it's not besties or brotherhood, it's maybe an older member seeing themselves in a younger member (jihoon has said this of jaehyuk for example), or differing points of view have helped each other learn or see something in a new light and been helpful to them. and they're a pretty affectionate group too which is what my irl bestie really took to them for haha she said it was really refreshing to see a group of boys that was so openly loving like that -- i know this isn't necessarily unique to trsr because kpop is known for skinship, but she wasn't a kpop fan before i showed them to her, and the affection also encompasses their consideration for each other so it's not just about them being snuggly haha (although that is cute too)! many of them i really don't think would have ever been friends outside of the group honestly but one thing they have ALL done is worked hard to work together and understand each other to be one team 🥹

#thank u for letting me rant DSJNFFJH these asks are really getting me inspired to watch old content haha #and that irl bestie of mine is coming to visit in a few weeks and we have a bunch of their newer stuff to watch and catch up on :D #erimail #mail from: anonymous friend! #teubun anon 🐇
