so, you're basically one of my favorite rarepair developers (or whatever one calls people that come up with rarepairs LOL) and i've been getting really into plas lately, so i absolutely have to ask- what are your thoughts on batplas? i know a lot of plas stans don't like it, but i see a lot of potential in it, even moreso when bits of their history is thrown in! (i admit, i'm soft for the non- main continuity canon fact that eel and matches were longtime associates/pals before patrick became plas.)
Tumblr media
so glad im one of your favorites rare-pair developers!!! come onto my pool noodle, we'll share bestie, no titanic angst here!! imo plasbat is so wildly underrated. And I like get why, there's been a lot of batfam saturation, and sometimes you just dont want to see the batfam butt into your fav comic character!!! but alas its somehow the only way they get attention! I digress... they're wilidly underrated and I would love to see them together on the same frame/comic regardless of romantic tones. I need more plas comics stat! I think Plas and Bats have the ability to have some amazing chemistry, which, is why its a travesty no one has drawn them on the same comic frame for quite some time or in anyyy main continuity in a more social/serious scenario. or even just chilling like on the same rooftop?? Bruce Wayne/The Batman is a very rich hero you think he can't drop by Mammoth City (is plas still in mammoth city??) to visit everyone's favorite stretchy man? he's the only stretchy man they know!! I acknowledge no one else but elastic lad Anyhow chemistry, how do so little people see this?? Batman who is always serious and has contingencies for everything, and Plas who has no contingencies and will probably combust if he tries to take things seriously. theyre the epitome of opposites attract??? It's not that plas doesn't care but he just automatically uses humor and making himself into a joke to cope with his life/relationships. The thought of Bruce being the Straight Man to Plas' punchline is everything!!! I like to think they have the same type of humor too, that Bruce Wayne's sense of humor is just a bit too niche and zany because of one too many traumatizing life experiences and somehow this is what fosters the first spark of their connection. No one else gets it, but they get it and it works. I am giggling into my hands sahdsah im also wacky over the non main continuity canon that Eel and Matches knew each other before Patrick became Plas. Do you think Matches was ever like, man it sucks that this criminal is so funny but he's a criminal and like kind of unrepentant about it? Snickering into my hands I want Matches to take one look at Eel and say 'i dont know how this criminal has a heart of gold and one hell of a sense of humor but i want to be his friend.' And then Eel ghosts him and he hears rumors about a job gone wrong and when he investigated everyone swears Eel is dead... because no one could've survived being dunked into whatever the hell Eel was pushed into. And well, it makes sense that he's the only one who mourns a criminal, a man who tried his best. Batplas has so much damn potential!!! It'd be even funnier if neither of them realized they had super secret 'criminal' identities until they were buddies in the JLA too. Why would they?? Plas is a reformed criminal (now) plastic shapeshifter and it would've been easier to make the world believe Eel died (before he had to resurrect his criminal persona for JLA business). Why would he believe that the man he knew as Matches Malone wasn't actually him but a superhero role playing as a criminal to get information?? All im saying is it would be the funniest identity reveal ever. And such a funny reveal would be perfectly in character for their relationship. Anywho I hope you've enjoyed my rambling and if you ever want to come off anon I will gladly blabber into your ear about all of my batplas headcanons and aus!!! Thanks for the ask!!! <3

One of the underrated parallels between Daenela and Rhaegar that doesn't get discussed enough, or at all, is that they are both adulterers/cheaters. LOL. One of my personal favorite similarities between them.
Yes, absolutely. Fantastic parallel.
But can I just say, even funnier than that is Cersei and Daenerys fucking their twins on their wedding day.
I fucked Jaime on the morning of my wedding, the queen recalled. - Cersei I, ADWD
x
That night Daario had her every way a man can have a woman, and she gave herself to him willingly. The last time, as the sun was coming up, she used her mouth to make him hard again, as Doreah had taught her long ago, then rode him so wildly that his wound began to bleed again, and for one sweet heartbeat she could not tell whether he was inside of her, or her inside of him. But when the sun rose upon her wedding day so did Daario Naharis, donning his clothes and buckling on his sword belt with its gleaming golden wantons. - Daenerys VII, ADWD

6. Is there anything that inspires you subconsciously?
I swear to god everyone says that my art style reeks of MLP influence even though it's hardly ever on my mind when I'm not drawing ponies for the lols. Cannot escape pony hell I guess
10. Fave piece of clothing to draw?
Chunky sweaters! Or anything with loose baggy folds! It's so much fun to play with shape or decide which parts are more baggy and which are more fitted
25. Something your art has been compared to but not inspired by:
Honestly, I can't think of anything off the top of my head. I know some people have pointed out different sources, but there isn't any one big piece of media that my has been compared to which I'm completely ambivalent to.
26. What's a piece that got a wildly different interpretation than what you intended?
Tbh this happens a lot in art school, especially because I'm not one to give deep meanings to my own work and focus more on aesthetics and visual easter eggs. I think the most infamous moment of people seeing shit I didn’t intend was when a classmate said that some horror inspired art I made had vaginal imagery in it. That was.... something.

Lemme know if he had merrit, but it was a really embarrassing moment during crit.
30. What piece of yours do you think is underrated?
My Miku art from her birthday last year. There are no sales on her mini print and under 50 notes on tumblr. But I love the pose I drew her in, and it was my phone background for about 8 months

Study Apps 🧠
I’ve been using quite a few study apps lately, and I know most of these (if not all) are already wildly popular, but these have dramatically changed my routine and helped me accomplish my learning goals this year, so I figured I’d share regardless :). If you have any other helpful study-related apps in mind that aren’t on the list don’t be afraid to leave them in the replies! (I’ve also included a short description of what I personally use the app for, but I explore you to do you own research)
Note taking
✎ Notion
The entirety of my life is within the pages of notion
✎ OneNote
Amazing if you have an Apple Pencil & like to take handwritten notes
✎ Pages
Great for making mind maps and mood boards lol
✎ Docs
I write essays 24/7, so being able to jot down new information, ideas, points I think of at 3:00am and don’t want to have to open my laptop to write down, having google docs on my phone is a must.
Reading
✎ Dictionary.com
Self-explanatory, but if you have an iPhone/iPad you can create a word-of-the-day widget on your home screen to help improve vocabulary.
✎ Merriam-Webster Dictionary
Similar to the above, it also has quizzes and a word of the day function I really enjoy if I feel like I just can’t study today but still want to feel accomplished in learning something.
✎ Grammarly
Obviously great for checking grammar on schoolwork/essays, but as someone who gets overly paranoid about my grammar in emails/texts/posts it’s nice to have it on the go.
✎ Kindle
I personally use kindle to read my course textbooks/recommended reading, wherever, whenever.
✎ your local library app
So incredibly underrated, if your library has an app, use it. Mine also lets me use other apps under my library account (Libby, BorrowBox, etc..). Easily the most used app on my phone because I get nightsweats thinking about overdue books.
Learning
✎ TED
2023 has been the year of watching TedTalks.
✎ Skillshare
Great for learning something that has more of a personal touch (drawing, painting, writing, etc..) and I got my first month free!
✎ Duolingo
Even if you’re not the biggest Duolingo fan, it really got me into the routine of language learning.
✎ Coursera
Online learning courses from a plethora of different colleges/universities (if your curious on what the structure of the American Ivy League is like, but don’t actually want to go to America or attend the Ivy League, 10/10). Some courses you can also take for college credit, or for free. Of course, these courses can be viewed on a universities website if you have a specific one in mind, but this is a great resource to have them all in one place on my phone.
✎ edX
Similar to Coursera.

Elizabeth Corday and Romano for the send character post
Elizabeth:
Why I like them: arrogant and has good reason to be. wildly self-destructive in response to emotional turmoil. so bad at so many things but absolutely confidently doing them anyway. total weirdo who, and I quote, thinks "being 'cool' seems somewhat limiting." desperately trying to be Good but she's also capable of such vicious pettiness and unkindness. when she does the big sad eyes I would throw myself into the sea if she asked it of me.
Why I don’t: s10 my nemesis until the end of time
Favorite episode (scene if movie): EXODUS ft. Sooty Elizabeth, a favorite blind box variant (gestures to my icon)
Favorite season/movie: I have to say s6. Dean Rollins arc my most dearly beloved
Favorite line: her goodbye spiel to Rollins is just banger after banger... but especially I held your every breath in my hands. like!!!!
Favorite outfit: whenever she wears sweaters!! the blue turtleneck especially is so underrated.
OTP: ot3 reigns forever :')
Brotp: canonically, Cordano. noncanonically, Susan should have stayed specifically so they could be chaotic bi friends.
Headcanon: she wants to be the kind of person who starts decorating for holidays super early but she always is like "tomorrow!!" and then it's like The Day Before Thanksgiving and she's hurling fistfuls of orange streamers over the banister like WHY DID NOBODY MAKE ME DO THIS SOONER
Unpopular opinion: That Woman Was Never Supposed To Be A Mother: a 25 page essay by Mouse
A wish: more sweaters!! less emotional self-harm!!! also she should kiss me.
An oh-god-please-dont-ever-happen: what else could you possibly do to me that s10 didn't already. I mean.
5 words to best describe them: the. love. of. my. life.
Romano:
Why I like them: he has made himself a performance. he has made himself a villain. he is soooo fake and he is soooo horrible and he's my special little guy and I need to fistfight him in the parking lot. he says things and then is just like :) as though he hasn't just vocalized a sentence no human being would ever say under normal circumstances. he is like a chew toy to me and well I am tearing him to shreds
Why I don’t: lol have you seen him. I said meet me in the PARKING LOT, ROBERT
Favorite episode (scene if movie): hmmmmm this is a TOUGH ONE. Power is one of my all-time favorites anyway but he's really good in it especially so let's go with that one
Favorite season/movie: s5&6 again. it's where I LIVE
Favorite line: "DO YOU DREAM OF LIZZIE CORDAY??"
Favorite outfit: I am legally obligated to say the speedo unfortunately
OTP: please.
Brotp: Cordano... Peter... Rogreene... Gretel...
Headcanon: I read him as ace so whenever he pulls a "haha I thought we were talking about sex :)" at an utterly bizarre moment, in my heart he's like "Mission Complete: I Have Successfully Passed As A Normal Heterosexual Man!"
Unpopular opinion: I feel like an insane person but he is so obviously a constructed persona most of the time. like. a person with power over others is not going to be well-liked by everybody so he just decided he's not going to be well-liked by ANYBODY. also if you tell him to stop... he stops. he respects people who have a spine.
A wish: no, little bald boy, don't go onto the roof
An oh-god-please-dont-ever-happen: backstory lol I like him being such a blank slate and so fan attempts at giving him some kind of tragic past are always so funny to me like. he's just a massive dick it's okay he doesn't need a sad reason for it
5 words to best describe them: idiot garbage bag with heart.

Writer Asks
Tagged by @yallemagne (thank you<3) ages and ages ago... Inspired to answer because I just published a fic and feel good about it hjejejfjj
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
Undisclosed amount xD I've put a bunch on anon, especially from fandoms I'm not active in anymore (lbr, mostly Endeavour). Publically, it's 26 rn.
2. What's your total ao3 word count?
212040!
3. What fandoms do you write for?
Elisabeth, hopefully in the future Tanz der Vampire (I've been thinking about it for like five years), in the past Endeavour (TV).
4. What are your top five fics by kudos?
They're all Endeavour because those are older and in a (slightly) bigger fandom... Unfortunately I think they're not the best ones I've written, a lot of them were when I was 18 (no offense to 18 year olds) and had just started writing fanfic ajajjjd. Which is why the top 5 are on anon except for one LOL. I really do think kudos doesn't tend to accumulate "correctly" xD People like familiar tropes and time of posting also affects it, there are many fics of mine I consider "underrated"
My top five kudosed Elisabeth fics are: black as the earth (shortened title), Flights of Angels (todolf longfic), Dominion, Midnight Man & Starwalk. tbh deserved...
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
Yes, I try to respond to every single one of them so people will hopefully comment in the future too, especially if they're kind, funny or thought-provoking!!! However, I delete them if I don't like them or they're weird, boundary-crossing or TMI ahdjfjjf (has happened a handful of times - the joys of writing explicit stuff lol. PSA: do not tell fic authors about your sexual activities in the comments, i do not consent...)
6. What's the fic you wrote that has the angstiest ending?
I often do bittersweet, or "sweet but also has Implications" >:] Oh and I guess there's a lot of them where Rudolf dies at the end... I think the actual angstiest might be No Forevers (Endeavour fic) even though nobody dies in that one. Though I ruined it by writing a sequel to it, after the showrunner wrote one of the characters back into the show after like 10 years xD In my defense, this wasn't my idea!!!
7. What's the fic you wrote that has the happiest ending?
Beams of Morning (Endeavour). I retconned one of my own DIY bittersweet endings whoops... 🤣🤣😭 It's sappy, even, but maybe that's allowed. For elisabeth it's Flights of Angels because the happiest happy endings are ones that feel deserved.
8. Do you get hate on fics?
No - I've gotten hate for my headcanons/meta and my video essays though (never to my face ;D) which can be fic adjacent. I guess it's because there's a better tagging system with fic, like, people won't be exposed to stuff they don't want to see as readily as with tumblr and youtube etc. And people also know how to leave other ppl alone!! Ajdjjfjf
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
Yes. The unpleasantly sexy kind 👀
10. Do you write crossovers?
Noooo, I don't really read them either. The kinds of crossovers I like are the ones that are crossovers "in name only"; ie. setting or tropes lifted from one work, characters/cast from another. Wildly incongruent characters showing up in each other's universes and interacting etc doesn't fit into my suspension of disbelief most of the time 😭
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Luckily no!
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
No, but I once helped someone translate theirs into English, which was cool. Oh, and recently I've been asked for permission to translate at least one of my fics - I hope it happens because it's always an honor!! >:]
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
I've collaborated on series, but I haven't co-written stuff on a deeper level. I think I'm too much of a control freak to get into it ajsdjjf, I can do stuff inspired by other people and am happy if my stuff inspires other people, but if I need to agree on plot/characterisation with someone consistently I don't think it'd work out, since no two people have identical takes and preferences with stories and characters.
14. What's your all-time favorite ship?
For around 2.5 years it's been todolf, it captures a lot of stuff I've liked in fiction for a longer time already >:D I can't really say whether it will be the Ship of a Lifetime for me... I mean it did make me move countries (as one reason of a few) but if someone asked me in the summer of 2016 I would've probably said [checks ao3 reading history] um. h*milton x j*fferson... so like. IT CHANGES A LOT OK ajajsjdj
15. What's a wip you want to finish, but don't think you ever will?
I don't want to doom any of my current wips to the graveyard!!!!!! I am having worries about the fate of my todolf swan lake modern ballet au fic though. The original draft outline is complete but it doesn't really fit my character interpretations for tod or rudolf anymore, it's from january 2022... Idk maybe I can one day rework it somehow with different characterisations ajsjdjf but yeah mostly it's interesting concepts haphazardly tied together but no coherent plot
16. What are your writing strengths?
Imagination/coming up with ideas, metaphors, descriptions (usually), grammar and syntax, writing crown prince rudolf really well (XDD), rhythm/pacing (usually), the way it Sounds (my brain sometimes fixates on phonetics randomly because after all, English is not my first language, and sometimes there'll be like, a really pleasing/satisfying combination of sounds in smth I think to write and I think I'm good at picking up on that, like how it flows and sounds. Idk if those preferences are universal though or if it's just me writing what I think sounds pleasing)
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
Writing varied characters, writing varied speech patterns/"character voice" also in narration, vocabulary.... I am but a humble English as a second technically third language speaker,,,, (i'm doing an english language grad school degree rn lol so i think i'm no worse than natives, not humble abt this actually, but i'm on the level of like. a not so well-read native speaker. Because most actual fiction literature I've read in my life has been in Finnish, in English I've just read academic literature, fanfic and like 10 books max! I need to read more and become a better writer ahhdhhdhf)
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?
No... Dialogue is a big no from me, it often feels cringe ngl ajsjdjdj. My personal philosophy is "if you need a translator's note for people to understand what's going on, don't put it in" 😅 A lot of the time different languages are also used in fic in nonsensical ways where it will look ok to a lot of people but bother the hell out of native speakers/ppl who speak the language. This is smth that can technically be done well but it's usually not aksldlldd. I think pet names and individual words can be fine but it needs to be done in moderation... I also obsess a lot over research, like, the nuances of the word need to actually mean what the author thinks it means :'D
19. First fandom you wrote for?
First published for Endeavour, first wrote for H*rry P*tter... (never-to-be-published fan comics and little stories as a young kid, like 8 years old).
20. Favorite fic you've written?
Right now it's vers l'onde souterraine... ;) I think I'm constantly improving as a writer and hopefully every fic will be better than the last!!

1, 3, 8, and 22 mayhaps?? <333
1. the character everyone gets wrong
could go with so many but the root of it all is Miyagi. he's often treated like Karate Jesus in the sense that everyone expects him to be about forgiveness because of the dig two graves line I guess. it's a total misunderstanding of his philosophy that makes his character fall so flat when people bother to include him - honestly even Ralph's Human Yoda line, which also kind of makes me cringe, is a better understanding of Miyagi as a man with a history that shaped his understanding of his philosophy and how both of those shaped his relationship with Daniel, with Sato, with Yukie, even with Lucille and as we see later, with Amanda. He's so rarely given the dignity of being understood as a whole person - even and especially in comparison to the full fledged backstories and empathy provided to Kreese and Silver and OG Cobra #5.
3. screenshot or description of the worst take you've seen on tumblr
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Look. Not even touching what they said about Chozen bc we've already established the lack of empathy people have for certain characters. But that last one - I would love if this was true. You have no idea how much I'd love that. I miss enjoying lawrusso and that would have definitely helped me enjoy lawrusso but Johnny could not have cared less about Daniel in s5. They weren't enemies, they had no connection, he was an acquaintance at best. Daniel coming to him in desperation and getting a lecture that's fully just Johnny talking to himself - he never listens to Daniel, never hears him, never shows up in a way I thought he uniquely could.
8. common fandom opinion that everyone is wrong about
That Johnny is actually the closest to a Miyagi parallel and the idea that 1) Carmen is going to have a miscarriage and 2) this is somehow equivalent to Miyagi coming home from fighting in a war he was coerced into to find his wife and child died because they weren't allowed to seek treatment because they were considered less than citizens bc of their country of birth. Actually infuriates me.
I think that they could hypothetically connect I guess, sure, except I think Miyagi would never need nor want to subject himself to a guy who makes jokes like 'lol you never taught him English'. (also a pet peeve is things where Miyagi chastises Daniel over having hesitations about Johnny like come on. He didn't even want to teach Daniel immediately, why does everyone think he's just been dying to open a Home for Lost Boys. Daniel helped him open up a bit but he's fundamentally an introvert). Everyone always forgets the bottle breaking scene & the fact that there's such thing as pragmatic pacifism as well.
There's some people who's response to microaggressions is to laugh with them, connect over it. There's no textual evidence for that to be Miyagi though, beyond people interpreting everything through a christian lens and expecting Good to be Endlessly Compassionate and Forgiving. For all the gritty realism people use to understand the motivations of other characters, there's very little engagement with how Miyagi's experiences affect how he navigates the world. But that goes back to the first question, I got a little off track.
22. your favorite part of canon that everyone else ignores
DANIEL KEEPS A SCRAPBOOK. that is such an important and telling detail about him and no one gets it 😑
Daniel and Shannon's friendship but tbf the show kind of forgot about that too. I simply cannot believe she'd approach Johnny about her concerns about Silver, and not Daniel.
In general his relationships with women - I think it's actually super important and intentional that his final fight with silver is him flanked by Amanda and Carmen alone. I think Damanda in general is so underrated and I think him being divorced from her and chill with that or her resenting their relationship is so wildly ooc it's laughable. It also tends to turn Amanda into this humorless sitcom wife when honestly. I really do love what Courtney's done with her - she's sharp, she's goofy, she's competent, she's messy, she's funny, she gets it wrong sometimes and she keeps trying and honestly she and Daniel really are so similar to each other in how that relate to people. My favorite bit of acting from her this season was the entirety of the auction scene - her emotional journey was so believable, so authentic.

so you asked for team star questions or something. i want to know your opinions and/or headcanons on Eri
My opinion on Eri is that she’s wildly underrated and she’s baby to me !! ok here’s some hcs
I definitely hc her as autistic with social anxiety . I think she just has that vibe mostly lol as a person with both . I think she thrives around people who understand her, don’t judge her, and she’s comfortable around . otherwise she tends to be awkward around people .
She seems to be a sensitive soul despite it all and from what I saw in the game, blames herself for things going wrong . She puts a lot of pressure on herself to be the protector of the group, to be a good star boss, to battle well, to support her friends . I think she’s a little socially awkward outside of her friends and can either come off as distant/aggressive or ‘strange’ . she isn’t an aggressive at all - she’s actually very gentle, she just has a big love for her friends and a big desire to protect people. She protects people to the point where she doesn’t take care of herself (I’m pretty sure this is mentioned in canon) but she pushes herself way too hard and is hard on herself for so much as taking a break . I think the bullying she endured likely took a hit on her confidence and also put the fear in her that if she didn’t protect people, they’d be hurt.
I think Eri definitely had protective instincts her entire life, but the bullying she went through really made her close ranks around her loved ones. I think that really amplified her need to keep people safe at the cost of herself . Being picked on made her feel worthless and like she wasn’t worthy of being protected or even being taken care of, so instead she puts her all into make sure everyone else is ok . I think she has this overarching anxiety that if she rests for even a moment, someone she loves will get hurt, if that happens, she saddles herself with the blame. She asks herself why she wasn’t there or why she didn’t do more, but in the end, sometimes people just get hurt .
Also I hc she has several siblings and that’s another place her protective instinct comes from . she has eldest sister energy to me .
also I hc her as the second youngest member of team star after ortega (she’s still significantly older than him) only because it’s goofy and I genuinely like it . I def see why people would hc as one of if not the oldest, but I also kinda see her as this girl who’s younger than she looks who forced herself to grow up .
after the events of the game I like to think she begins entering wrestling competitions and Star cheers for her the loudest .
I think she’s a little non-binary . She’s a girl but in a very loose sense I think . she doesn’t mind pronouns too much she just prefers feminine or androgynous ones . I don’t think she likes masc pronouns/terms . Probably a demigirl .

Not gonna lie but l actually love Modern SpongeBob (Seasons 9-13) than Old SpongeBob. Don't get me wrong, l love both Old and Modern SpongeBob. But seasons 9 - 13 are much more interesting and have a much better animation/art style. The art style is much more cartoony and colorful.
Tbh I get that. I really enjoy the modern seasons of sb. They're equally tied with the classic seasons in my heart. I know that's like a sin amongst sb fans but its true! Its so fun and colorful and you can see that there is a lot of love put into it. It might not always be so strong writing wise but I still adore it. I feel like nowadays cartoony cartoons have gone out of style hence why there's so much vitriol when a show is silly and light hearted.
Go anywhere online and say you like the current show, people would act like there's something wrong with you in the head. They can't conceive that you can just like something for fun. They act like you're an idiot for enjoying something so silly and light hearted. There always has to be some cynicism, angst or some serialized drama to it. Which I do very much enjoy very much but I also like this and I feel like they both have much to offer. I also feel like cartoons in general are SUPER underrated. Unless it proves itself to be "deep" then it nobody cares for it. They think silly expressions or wacky movements means its for only children (and ignoring the fact that drawing those things are actually VERY difficult, I prefer doing realism but I struggle HARD to get down the wacky expressions spongebob does on a regular basis! It takes skill!)
I also like a lot of what the newer seasons have to offer. People always go on "modern spongebob tortures squidward too much" "modern Spongebob made patrick into a jerk" and they refer to an episode that came out 10-15 years ago lol. Its really discrediting a lot of what the show has to offer. They made Patrick much more nicer in recent episodes and he willingly stands up for Spongebob when he gets pushed around. Squidward torture rarely happens. The show constantly experiments and has amazing art all around. I feel like a lot of that gets ignored. Gosh I really wish it got acknowledged more! Season 13 has been pretty experimental I've been really enjoying it.
You know what's funny? The modern seasons get so much hate because its not ""hillenburg"" and it doesn't have the old writers even tho Hillenburg technically never left. He was Executive producer and gave his ok on scripts and episodes. He wasn't as actively involved as he was in the first 3 seasons but he wasn't fully gone. AND he returned around season 9. He vowed to work as long as his health allowed him and so season 13 is the only season he hasn't worked on BUT he trusted the show to the current crew which is mostly made up of the same folks who made the first 3 seasons. Literally you can pull up a modern episode and there's always someone who worked on the first 3 seasons. Obviously they aren't going to produce the same things they made almost 25 years ago but you can tell they're doing their best. Its rare to get the same thing that clicked 20ish years ago but they should be free to experiment and do something new too. Spongebob has always changed and adapted for the times. Most people don't even notice that each season is different from each other. Season 1 is wildly different from season 3 for example.
Anyways classic and modern have a special place in my heart for the same reason. They're both massively comforting to me and I can put on either and they'd make a bad day feel so much better <3
Also Classic Spongebob and Modern Spongebob would be besties. Don't believe the art work of classic sponge hating his modern counterpart. They'd get along SO well.

14, 26, and 30!! The artist ask :)
I’ve been trying to answer this for two hours, pls don’t crash😭
14. Any favorite motifs
All kinds of love! Platonic, romantic, familiar, or even twisted/unhealthy love, too. They are all fascinating to draw or watch.
26. What’s a piece that got a wildly different interpretation from what you intended
Nothing comes to mind at the moment!
30. What piece of yours do you think is underrated
I do feel a slight disappointment when something I spent a lot of time on doesn’t get a lot of attention. But I mostly draw for my own satisfaction and it’s easily forgotten the next time I grab a pen. Sure, it feels nice if I get a lot of notes/likes, but I know it’s mostly based on luck and I stopped caring about algorithm a long time ago lol
And I realized along the way that it feels just as nice to see small people I like enjoy my works ;)
I don’t know about underrated but here are some of my works I still really like, I hope you can enjoy it as much as I do!

are you okay with people making something kinda similar to the dolldrops? i mean just mini versions of the daycare attendant, not the actual dolldrop designs. i don't think i've seen anyone else do something similar, so i wanted to ask! i love the idea of them having a 'portable' body (lol) and in my personal au from ages ago, that was basically what i did with helpy! plush toy animatronics are wildly underrated tbh
I mean, as long as the desings are not clear copies (exact same clothing patterns and palettes) I'm ok with it. I'd say if you feel like they might get confused with dolldrops, then the desing might be too close. But idea-wise I don't really mind, as long as the lore and designs are not full copies of mine :D

got distracted by cartoons, have a late ask game ask!!!!!
i wanna know! #s 5, 7, 8, 12, 25, 26, and 30!
Is that too much? MAYBE! But I feel like at this point in my internet life and our interactions and such, this is just to be expected ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
(I will not be chill w/ q's next time fr fr)
(i am lying)
5. Estimate of how much of your art you post online vs. the art you keep for yourself
Oh I post SO MUCH of my stuff. The doodle dumps are to blame mostly. Thats gotta be an 80/20 ratio on stuff that sees the light of day. This website is my dumping ground and i will use it like a fucking landfill.
Here's an ANCIENT doodle of the actual canonical characters of this franchise for the trouble.
Tumblr media
(Small Buddy with elf shoes is a whole staple fyi)
7. A medium of art you don't work in but appreciate
As per last ask, Comic artists! I do not have any will whatsoever to be stylistically consistent at all! I appreciate the people who can so many characters that many times AND convey a story. Cheers to that bro, could not be me.
8. What's an old project idea that you've lost interest in
I don't know about any other projects I've abandoned but here's a character I've abandoned! Kinda, not really. Its Death! Death WILL make an appearance in CC, in the finale, but they've gotten a redesign as of late so here's what they used to look like
Tumblr media
Thye used to be VERY self-inserty, but now their gonna be a lot more god like and much more ambiguous. Just you wait til Lucy meets them in person >:)
12. Easiest part of body to draw
Hands! People say their hard, but I think I've done enough studies to where I can crank out a decent hand like nothing. Love drawing hands.
25. Something your art has been compared to that you were NOT inspired by
I don't remember ever receiving a direct comparison to something pertaining to my art 🤔 Now I'm curious as to what it reminds people of!
26. What's a piece that got a wildly different interpretation from what you intended
Most of my pieces are pretty straight forward. We do it for the sillies here. I'm really blanking on this one! I dont do too much hidden meaning in illustrations, if I want something to look cool im gonna try and make it cool. Not a lot to interpolate lol
30. What piece of yours do you think is underrated
Probably a tie between these two!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It's probably because i starred at both of them it until my eyes bled but I like em! The lighting on Mera and Kills and the rock bridge on the wild west one scratches my brain itches.

You're right and you should say it, Muppets 2015 wildly underrated
For real I have so many stupid season-wide outline ideas in my notebooks… I think a lot of the charm of the 2015 one is that it is overt about and embraces the time period lol so I would want a follow up season to do the same….
They play with it in Muppets Now, but I would be curious about Late Night with Miss Piggy having to deal with Covid (like Conan, Kimmel, Fallon… all the late night shows) working without an audience?? (where are Statler and Waldorf?? It’s so quiet without them…) Pivoting to a podcast?
Would be curious about the post-2015 finale Kermit and Miss Piggy happenings… but I could see them quarantining together and re-falling in love… and then emerging more terrifying and powerful than the crew has ever seen… I don’t think Piggy should have access to TikTok I think Kermit would go to great lengths to keep it from happening
