with regards to @dehliadelights ‘s post about ‘tatakai’ and ‘jump over yourself’ both being beat songs (link to the post here if you would like to view the lyrics to those songs)

i’ve been saying this! in solo/final remix, beat is the most well-defined character, musically. he’s got the chill casual theme (detonation), the sad backstory theme (jump over yourself) and the battle anthem (tatakai). these last two in particular were clearly written just for him and they really help to show the depths of his character.

‘jump over yourself’ is for certain meant to be him talking back to his parents, who always pushed him to be like his studious sister and didn’t like him for who he was. we can hear how beat never sat back and let them lecture him- he always fought back and boldly expressed himself. telling his parents to shut up, complaining that they were never satisfied with his efforts no matter how well they went, etc. beat refuses to let them belittle him- he loves himself as he is and wants to express everything he is and everything he feels (ughhh and it’s so tragic how he ran out of the house carelessly after having gotten in an argument with them and rhyme ran after him and that’s when they suddenly got hit…)

and then ‘tatakai’, his battle theme that lyrically demonstrates his determination to do whatever it takes to get what he wants- rhyme to be ok, of course, but on an even deeper level, some sense of control. he wants to find a way to turn rhyme’s pin noise back to human, and that’s what’s explicitly stated as for his reasons for becoming a reaper. but i don’t think it’s a terrible stretch to think that beat would rather stay in a place where he has at least some hope of growing strong and having power over others. he’s been kicked down all his life by parents and teachers who think he’s slow or useless and are unwilling to see his potential to be incredible in his own way, and i do not think the reapers’ game helped with that.

so beat gets handed the chance to become a reaper, to be one of the people in power around here, and of course he takes it! turns out the job isn’t for him. turns out he actually has to follow rules and stuff, when what he really wanted was to be powerful and free. and maybe on some level, despite him being a sweet guy, the chance to punch down for once. he doesn’t want to beat up neku and joshua, a pair of helpless innocent players in the same situation that he had just been in, but at the same time i wouldn’t be surprised if that was somewhat gratifying for him. cycle of abuse and all that. above all he needs to save rhyme and keep himself in control of himself. he’s willing to be the villain.

#thanks for the tag! i love this game’s music and i love beat #tatakai is very very underrated #and jump over yourself is on the list of jpn twewy songs that i occasionally daydream about making an english cover of #the world ends with you #twewy #twewy beat #beat twewy #daisukenojo bito #mine: twewy #subaseka tag #i would have reblogged your post but tumblr started eating my paragraphs 😵‍💫#it does that sometimes when i type a lot. very annoying. means i have to retype a good deal of words

completed this a bit ago, but only just got around to getting a decent scan. Thanks @bwappi for another great request!

[Overmorrow related specbio for this creagure under the readmore]

A distant cousin of the snow-worm, the tokti* (from the onomatopeia 'tok', after the noises it makes, and 'ti', little) is an arthropod native to Paneia’s sunward-equatorial regions, most often found inland and in temperate forests. Much like Earth’s woodlice, they are detritivores, although they are much larger in size - generally around the size of a human hand, with some variation. Their spines and false eye spots have evolved to ward off threats.

Snow-worms are edible, but must have their heads removed before consumption due to a strong, unpleasant taste; tokti, however, carry a similar unpleasant taste in their whole bodies, as well as a potent toxin found in the blue-pigmented areas of both their bodies and their cuticles (shells). Because of this, they have few natural predators; in times where populations become unmanageable in a particular area, culled tokti may be collected for use in dye making, although the process to remove the toxicity from the blue pigment is extensive and not generally considered worthwhile. Lower-grade versions of the dye do exist, but are notoriously dangerous to work with.

Despite their toxicity, tokti are remarkably docile and make good pets -they are only poisonous if ingested, not via skin contact, so they can be safely held, and they are not known to bite. They may wave their antennae, curl up, and/or create popping noises from inside of their shells when feeling threatened.

*In English, tokti may be translated as 'popbug'.

#i actually had the energy to devise an image description in the ALT for once #so if tumblr eats it like it has in the past im gonna be SO unbelievably pissed. let me have this PLEASE #shakes tumblr. stop doing this to me. im begging you #anyway.#art #traditional art #watercolor #watercolour #specbio #speculative biology #request #commission request #bugs #insects #artists on tumblr #also thanks again bwappi for letting me put my silly little worldbuilding thoughts into this guy. it was very fun #overmorrow tag

chronic illness flare has turned me into a soaking wet paper doll of a person, but i have tag games to catch up on and that's a fun distraction 😊💕

tagged by jenn my sweetie @castiel

show your lock screen, last celeb photo, and last song listened to

oh this is probably going to be embarrassing. okay so my most frequently used device unfortunately doesn't have a customizable lock screen. i am very lucky to have a secondary device i use quite often these days which was a gift from a friend who didn't need it anymore, and that one had a really pretty floral/lyric from the archer for ages, but now... (if i hadn't saved this picture of taylor and benji, the lock screen and photo would've been a neat display of matched insanity, could've hit a trifecta with the song too but fob swooped in at the last second.) anyway...

♥♥♥♥

tagged by (polk! salad!) dani @valkaryah: share my top 5 songs I've been listening to.

according to my current replay playlist, and without repeating artists, otherwise this would be very skewed, it's 1. any day now - elvis presley, 2. heartbreak feels so good - fall out boy, 3. all of the girls you loved before - taylor swift, 4. look at us now (honeycomb) - daisy jones and the six, 5. all my ghosts - lizzy mcalpine (the way lizzy has not left my rotation for a year!)

♥♥♥♥

tagged by darlings @thebohemianbelle and @waxandwanewitchery: when you get this, you have to put 5 songs you actually listen to

similar to the above, but different!!! if i snagged this from that weekly replay playlist, it would essentially be all of the same artists because my listening habits have been in a cycle of comfort lately, but i'll choose five that i do listen to a lot that are also in the list and weren't represented. 1. golden - harry styles, 2. say you love me - fleetwood mac, 3. just one of those things - frank sinatra, 4. supercut - lorde, 5. easy to love - ella fitzgerald

♥♥♥♥

tagged by @bloodmoonlits 😘 my top 4 current albums (the taste on yours, i love seeing recognition for holly!) mine are going to be so predictable here please send help. (i am making an executive decision to exclude taylor from this, but red tv and lover are actually battling it out for a top spot at the moment 💖)

♥♥♥♥

tagged by @headfullofpresley and @castiel: talk about 8 shows as a way to get to know me better. this is unexpectedly hard because rarely are the shows i most dearly love ones that i would openly recommend to another human being haha 😳 so let that be a disclaimer here as i wrack my brain. in no particular order:

(1). better call saul: i will never be as deranged about anything on television as i was about this show, scheming times were had, tragedies were felt, cinnamon rolls were eaten. kisses sealed at city hall, flowers blooming in the desert. my unpopular qualms with the last few episodes/ending aside, it was such a gorgeously layered, meticulously crafted show, i loved those characters so much, it was SUCH a cinematic treat visually, and nearly every step was finely tuned and written in such a thought-provoking way. every step was perfectly acted. i could still talk about it forever. kim wexler queen of my heart, you will always be famous. you don't save me. i save me. (shout-out to the magnificent, and inarguably definitive, predecessor breaking bad.)

(2). penny dreadful: this show is a glorious horror, a mess of victoriana, a fanfiction potpourri of some of the most famous characters of literature, no sane person should invest themselves in it. unfortunately, i, not sane, love it to the bone (except for the terrible ending, you'll catch a pattern here), predominantly because vanessa ives means everything to me. the flame to which all moths gather. defiant martyr of my heart. no one will ever be like her!!! she is my fierce compassionate sickgirl heroine, fighting against the shadows of her world, her soul forever unbowed and true. even when she fears that lost, she holds close her dignity, her ability to love, her perseverance. the poetry with which the show, particularly the first two seasons, was written is unmatched. it's gothic horror in a frame that no one else on television has ever attempted, and it felt made for me when i first watched it in january of 2020. for though it is macabre and gruesome and dark and steeped in grief, it's also about beauty and devotion and resilience and connection. "i see no wildflowers here."/"then you need to look closer." and the everlasting heartbeat, no matter what john logan did to her, my vanessa. something yet remains. i remain.

(3). bates motel: fun fact, i only started bates last february, i've watched S1-4 more than once, and yet still have not finished S5. i keep trying but i don't want to do it! it's a rare one where i already know the ending is fitting, i just keep pushing it off. it's a very difficult show, it deals with heavy themes, there's triggering and horrific stuff in the pilot alone that would immediately stop me from telling people to watch (or at least give me pause), yet at the same time i think it unexpectedly becomes one of the most brilliantly done pieces of television i've ever seen. they have this audacious idea - what if we made a prequel of one of the most iconic movies of all-time? - and somehow not only pull it off, but end up making that story richer and more meaningful. we KNOW we're plummeting towards inevitable tragedy and still wish it could be diverted. we are fascinated and repulsed and aching for the bonds these people share, the desperation as they try to survive. every character is flawed in ways that the story tries to claw humanity out of, and it does something distinct in never shaming or vilifying any of the protagonists for the wretched things they do, never talking down to the audience saying we should be judging them or wishing ill on them, but rather examining WHY they are this way, why they act and react as they do, how they have been bent into these strange shapes. it exhumes your empathy and refuses to let you turn away from the difficulties of their world. the house looms forever like a breathing entity in the background. we will always end up in the basement, but how it comes to happen is the more important tale. and it has the incomparable powerhouse of norma bates, wonderful, awful, extraordinary, complicated, half queen, half little girl. she was like a miracle. as with vanessa, i will never forget her. (another pattern you'll see here: WOMEN.)

(4). remington steele: this was the very first "grown up" show i was ever allowed to watch with my mom, in syndication when i was a kid, and i just love it so much. it's such a delight. 80s glamour! mysteries and hi-jinks! THEE ultimate will-they/won't they romance, and she doesn't even know his real name! try this for a deep dark secret - the great detective remington steele? he doesn't exist. i invented him. follow - i always loved excitement, so i studied, and apprenticed, and put my name on an office, but absolutely nobody knocked down my door... i can recite the whole first season intro monologue, burned into my brain from age twelve. we just finished a rewatch a few weeks ago and i miss them already. laura holt is intelligent, beautiful, romantic, indefatigable, the closest thing the small screen has had to a classic noir inspired brassy leading lady, and was FORMATIVE for me.

(5). crazy-ex girlfriend: they put a musical on television for me. immediate hit right there. many of the numbers are parodies/homage, cheeky and clever but still heartfelt. then it became one of the funniest, most poignant, most empathetic, most memorable explorations of infatuation, self-worth, and most significantly mental health that i have ever seen. there have been a couple of other musical concept shows (smash, notably), but none that achieved what cxg did. it's an extraordinary work and sometimes i can't believe it was allowed to exist, and got to flourish the way it did. rebecca bunch could so easily be called unlikable - selfish, impulsive, obsessive - and yet she is so lovable and so real through all of her flaws, how can you not root for her, laugh with her, sing with her, cry with her? how can you not want her to get better? you find, eventually, it was never even about the guys, though they're fun to explore in all their neuroses too. they're almost...irrelevant. "a diagnosis" will never not make me weep. the show is just so important. this is about the story of a woman who learns how to recover, how to build true friendships (#gurlgroup4eva), and how to embrace herself.

(6). that girl: another one my mom brought me up on, and there are other shows i could mention here (i love lucy, the dick van dyke show, the addams family) as far as prototypes of modern comedy go (there is a direct line from that girl to the mary tyler moore show to friends and new girl), but that girl is particularly dear to me because it was influential to my mom, and because ann marie is a character all her own. she's quirky, she's determined, she's got the greatest 60s fashion, she's constantly getting herself into situations, she's one of the very first sitcom heroines to be a "single girl in the city" and to directly confront sexism (in multiple ways, but especially in the workplace and in the entertainment industry), she is loved and adored by her boyfriend (one of the best and most patient of all fictional boyfriends), but she is not defined by don, they complement each other. marlo thomas, the icon that you are.

(7). pretty little liars: listen. i know. I KNOW. it's silly, it's ridiculous, it has a host of issues, but i was hooked. and the thing is, though the mysteries fizzled and the reveals didn't make sense, what mattered were those girls. female friendship was the heart of everything in that story, they stood by each other and supported each other through every danger, toil, and snare, and even when they messed up, they forgave each other and came back together as a team every time. -A hardly matters, but the liars are everything. young volcanoes. aria, hanna, emily, and spencer all mean so much to me for very different reasons, and spencer especially. my genius, tenacious, too-caring girl. down these mean streets a girl must go who is not herself mean.

(8). supernatural: sigh. would be remiss not to mention it, right? have, in fact, written what amount to personal essays and fanciful poetics on this blog explaining at length what it once meant to me, have delved into the folklore urban legend americana of it all, and while i have gained a certain distance from it since the palpable breakdown i had from its ending that we do not acknowledge, those entries would hold true. it was so formative that things which are on this list would not be here without it, and i know that. it's so inextricable that i can't tell what is a thread connected to it in my life and what isn't at times. premiered on my birthday and presented me one of the greatest loves of my life, who i will always carry with me. i would not quite be me without dean. i would not be here right now without dean, in more ways than one. and i do my best to be brave.

(honorable mentions to shows tam and jenn had on their lists: the x-files, tvd/the originals, the marvelous mrs. maisel; other honorable mentions: btvs/a:ts, bones, dexter, fleabag S2, gilmore girls, the good place, jane the virgin, nancy drew/hardy boys mysteries, orphan black, the haunting of bly manor, select episodes of doctor who, i am quite certain i'm forgetting a bunch!)

for this last one i am tagging @nerdfaerie, @arthurwilde, @desireearmfeldt, @someoneoffthestreet, @freakwiththeknifecollection, @bcyoureallthatmakessense, @setyourfireonme, @dewintering, @joons, @thebohemianbelle, @beckybloomwood, @takeawaythepain, and @wickedhawtwexler, but also any of you who wants to do this, or any of the rest of these, please do, and then tag me!!! i love to see them! i apologize profusely for the pervasive brainrot. 💟

Been thinking a lot about what everyone has said on that one post about sameness in the vore community. I’ve always known the vore community tends to “recycle” concepts and tropes. (Trust me, I’ve been here for a WHILE I’ve seen it all.) Mainly, the prevalence of tooth-rotting comfort vore fluff. I certainly do not deny that I am a perpetrator of fixating on said content. It’s easy to write. Self insert first person character is sad, you project yourself onto them, they get eaten and praised, you feel better about yourself. And thus the cycle continues. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with this. Stories like these get my heart all giddy every time without fail, and I’m not gonna pretend they don’t.

But I do agree that the vore narrative has SO much more potential than just this. Horror. Suspense. Angst. Characters developing as people and growing closer to one another through unconventional means. I always adore when people come up with more unique vore stories, with entire fleshed out worlds and characters with their own backstories and personalities. Stories where it’s not really a vore story, it’s just a Thing that Happens to the already existing characters, and focuses on how they react to the strangeness and how they grow because of it. It’s a shame this sort of content isn’t as prevalent, but I completely understand why. Writing complex characters is hard. Writing conflict is hard. And it doesn’t help that content like this tends not to get as many hits as the more simple, easy to digest (heh) comfort stuff we see all the time around here.

As for me, I am one of the odd one’s out in the community in that I really don’t have any of my own characters. Sure I have a “persona” of sorts, but that’s a relatively new thing that isn’t even MY character but a generic self-insert thing from an already existing franchise. Almost all of my writing has been in the first person style, where the reader/author can imagine themselves in the story. I’ve now come to realize this is probably the main reason I’m stuck writing fluff, to be honest. I feel more comfortable inserting myself in vore situations where it’s nice and everything has a happy ending. Stories where the reader isn’t involved at all are a lot easier for me to include more developed emotions and conflict.

To tell you the truth, I’ve wanted to try my hand at making OCs for quite a while now. I actually have quite a few fleshed out character ideas that have been in stored away in my head for quite some time. Perhaps now that I’m drawing more, I could try my hand at it. Maybe. It’s kind of a long shot. In the meantime, I’ll certainly keep what everyone has said in mind as I write in the future. Thank you all again for giving the community your thought and feelings, and for being so civil and friendly to eachother :)

#op #My current story in the works is kind of??? a deviation from my normal fluffy flufftimes in that none of the characters wanna be there #and the earrings are reluctant #but it’s more of a characters study if anything like ‘how would x react if they had to be eaten’ kinda thing #yes it’s that story #yes I’m still working on it shut up #no but seriously thank you all for your input it means a lot to have such a nice community willing to acknowledge our differences #and bond over the fact that at the end of the day. we are all weirdos #vore talk #soft vore #safe vore #also I realized it autocorrected eatings to earrings RIP tumblr please let me edit tags someday

I'm back :D thanks for the well wishes! I don't know if I really took much of a break from tumblr, but I have completely deleted tiktok and twitter, and I don't plan on bringing them back anytime soon. Hopefully that'll have some more long term benefits bc right now, breaking the habit of checking them regularly is surprisingly tough :') talked to a friend on the phone over the weekend though which was nice, and I cleaned up my room a bit, so I'll be alright ^-^

Doodle and class posts resuming soon; I've got a few drawings I've accrued over the weekend 🎉🎉

#I'll be honest #the break didn't help at all lol #i was sad before but now I'm sad and lonely #you know that feeling where you actively feel yourself regressing? not eating or talking to people consistently?#its that #but idk what to do about it #giving tumblr a break was worth a shot #the worst that couldve happened was it not helping #so at the very least #i can no longer say i didnt do anything about it haha #anyway i like sharing my goofy little drawings #so i think I'll keep doing that :)#even if only a few people see them #thats more than enough for me #thank you to anyone who's followed my art #it makes me happy that people are interested in what I do ^-^#🥕🥕 here's some carrots #i heard they're good for your eyes; esp after reading all of those tags lol

What's automatic drawing?

here's a rly good video explaining it!

basically it's the process of letting your hand draw whatever, and not letting your brain get in the way in terms of overanalysing and preventing yourself from developing proper looseness and flow -- it's a really good exercise for not getting in your own way, and ive found it really helps with my ability to sketch out thumbnails quickly when im doing comics etc!

[ID: A loose uncoloured sketch of a non-euclidean landscape, featuring botanical elements, as well as many disembodied eyes and a gaping mouth. End ID.]

this was my first attempt and i was actually surprised how good it felt to do!!

#so i guess tumblr didnt eat this ask after all woo thank goodness #asks #samwise1548 #not magnus content #my #sorry to kinda answer twice!! tbh i wanted to put the video somewhere i could find it again #and i kinda wanted to post the first attempt heheh #scopophobia #body horror #trypophobia #ask to tag <3

i feel like i’ve been seeing something…tell me if i’m wrong.

it’s bg3 edits that leave SOME of the skin texture, but not all of it. a few of the bigger wrinkles are left, some bumpiness, maybe. it’s like when you see someone on instagram who’s really good at facetune - they leave some “issues” so that it looks believable.

which i am not dragging! do that if you want to, and i mean that! people - especially women and femme people, but really everyone, esp these days - feel the pressure to present themselves a certain way, especially if their appearance is part of how they make a living. live your life!

i guess the thing about these bg3 images that bothers me is that…no one loses if the wrinkles and pockmarks are there. these aren’t real people. there was a big moment of “stop smoothing out all of the skin textures on these characters!” when the game first came out, and now it feels like…there are folks out there going, okay. i’m going to leave SOME in, so i don’t get yelled at on the internet. but i’m going to do some editing to make them a liiiittle younger. or just a taaad less scarred. or give them sliiiiiightly smoother cheeks.

and at the end of the day…people should, and will, make the art the want to make. they’ll edit images and gif sets and videos they way they want to edit them. it just feels weird and dystopian to me, personally, to see the subtle instagram edits on these fictional characters. especially when we so rarely get characters with these skin textures.

#lol tumblr “add tags so people can find your post”#NO THANK YOU #honestly might delete later #i almost didn’t even write the abbreviated name of the game #i don’t want to get yelled at on the internet today #but i am REALLY curious if anyone else has noticed this #or if i’m losing my mind lmao #it bums me out. at the end of the day.#wrinkles and scars and pockmarks…they help tell a character’s story #the features on our faces can shape how we move through the world #and how people react to us and THAT in turn can influence us…#maybe it’s my psychology minor but i eat that shit UP

You ever have to be like, "no babe you're not bone-breakingly heart-rendingly sad, you just had less than five hours of sleep"? Yeah.

#lack of light november really doing a number on me this year!#this is not a worry-for-me post btw. it's like that comic of the raccoon advising you to shower to eat or to sleep when upset #it's my last full week of being a student going about doing student activities and i keep doing things going what if that's the LAST time??#which i've been actively trying to avoid doing because when i left my old school i overdid it and i was actively mourning leaving my place #there for the last six months like someone constantly picking at a wound #and while it was the most beautiful time of my life and it might always be i really regret having spent so much #of my final moments there being sorry that it was final because i just grieved it! twice!#i grieved it afterwards and i grieved it beforehand and i kind of wasted my precious time grieving it beforehand #so this time i've been TRYING to practice restraint and not spend my time brooding and just be here instead!#and not say goodbye to every doorway and every leaf and every brick in the pathway until i'm actually saying goodbye #but it suddenly burst into proper fiery colors on all our foliage over the break and i came back and suddenly it was ablaze #with perfect color and i'm walking around this week with my hand on my heart going oh!!! i love you so much #thank you for sending me off like this!!! i loved being here with you!!#so. tis hard not to mourn. but till then there are papers to write and chapters to be read and then girl has to scurry #and write her daily poem before sleep #so it will be alright it will be alright <3 this i believe!#i may delete these tags later because they might be overshare-y or too despondent and not need to be said #but i figure where else can i pour out my heart into a lovingly enfolding void like this <3 #happy Tuesday tumblr i love you all dearly!#thank you for all your tags today btw I will come back and reply to them tomorrow when i'm a bit clearer-minded #thinking out loud

How fast do your muses grow facial hair? Which rarely need to shave and which need to shave or else they get all patchy bits of stubble

@royaletiquette

Oh jesus this will take forever but let's do this ✨

I'll put Marlo out of this because he's not truly a human muse in the first place ✌️

Astra is a natural blond, so he doesn't have a big hairiness in the first place and doesn't grow facial hair quickly either. He shaves everyday though, because he prefers to keep his cheeks clean and he doesn't like beards. He uses luxurious products to keep his skin very clean and soft, and he never injures himself due to his sensitivity to infections, blood, and whatsoever. He shaves with an electrical razor.

Gabriele is a brunette and is rather hairy (hairy torso, legs, arms...). He doesn't mind the beard at all, and off duty, he will keep a three days beard most of the time. However, for work, he's very dedicated to keep himself clean too. He will shave every morning, and he particularly loves the old razor blades from the barber. Once a week, he will also visit a barber shop to moister and hydrate his skin. He's good with blades, so he doesn't cut himself very often.

Gambit has a very disparate beard in the first place, so he has never liked to have one. He has holes on the cheeks, and his mustache doesn't look very luxuriant. He will shave himself after his night shower, and in the morning if he believes he still has a few spots he has missed. However, since he can be pretty much distracted with other tasks, he will cut himself here and there, especially under the chin.

Jovan is definitely the kind of man to have a thick beard in the span of a week. He's hairy a bit everywhere (he has a massive happy trail for example...) and he doesn't really find the necessity to shave. I'm a bit sad I don't have proper icons for that (in the manwha I cropped his faceclaim from, alas, Jovan is perfect but BEARDLESS). He would need to shave everyday if he wanted to keep his cheeks clean, but he doesn't bother nor care. His hair is soft though, even if he does nothing to take care of it.

Mads is also a brunette, but he has, I would say, a normal amount of hair all over his body. He grows facial hair quite quickly though, but some areas are less thick than others so we never have the sensation he has a massive beard, and with the army, he has adopted a certain routine. He likes to shave, so he would do it every two or three days, depending on how his beard might grow. He might cut himself if he's distracted, and he's probably the quickest among my muses to shave his beard.

Big, thick and quite visible red beard! The Scottish genes are strong with Mika, and he's naturally hairy. Like Mads, it's quite fair and normal, but for his face, Mika has much more beard than his brother. He can easily get a luxuriant beard in a week, and he needs to shave everyday to keep himself hairless. He prefers not to grow a beard, he somehow appreciates his baby face.

He doesn't have a lot of hair and doesn't grow facial hair either. He doesn't need to shave very often, and somehow he's glad, because of his illness, he might not even spot that he has hurt himself in the first place. He doesn't have an equal beard either, so he has never had the intentions to grow it, plus, a professional dancer, even more a ballerina, usually shaves it. To avoid accidents, he prefers to visit a barber shop rather than shaving it himself.

Kaizen grows a decent beard whenever he doesn't shave, and it's not something he wants to do very often. It's not very dark and he likes to keep a three days beard most of the time. He only trims it to keep it short, but otherwise it's rare for him to entirely shave. He doesn't cut himself either because Kaizen is very skillful with razors and blades, only a few small accidents here and there but it's quite rare.

Vex is almost hairless when it comes to his facial hair, due to his Asian background and his genes. He only has a few spots on his face here and there (mostly the chin and above the lips), but other than that, his skin is rather smooth everywhere else. He shaves once a week whenever he needs, and it doesn't take very long. He cuts himself sometimes, but it's never like pure massacre either.

Zodiac wishes to have a true luxuriant beard but he can't grow one and he hates it. He only has a few hairy spots on his face and holes a bit everywhere. Since he hates suffering from mockeries, he shaves everyday, just like his brother and father did before. He often cuts himself because he's a nervous person and he's not very patient, so he will rush in the morning or evening to get ready.
