Izumi Iori - RabbiTube Mini
Tumblr media
Isumi Haruka I've watched all the videos about penguins you told me! It was really cute! 😂
Izumi Iori They sent it to us to use as reference the other day.
Isumi Haruka Is the baby penguin that sticks to the caretaker alright?
Izumi Iori I heard that penguin just debuted. Its popularity stems from being spoiled and doing its own thing. The video uploaded a day before already have 110,000 views. Its influence is amazing.
Isumi Haruka I didn't know they uploaded again. Time to sub to the channel.
Yotsuba Tamaki Are you guys talking about the penguin video we watched during the shooting?
Isumi Haruka Yeah! When he told me that there's more stuff than what we saw, I asked about the channel
Izumi Iori Well, while it's fine to watch solely as reference for the shooting, it is important to observe the penguin's way of life. Have you seen their channel, Yotsuba-san? I will send you the URL.
Yotsuba Tamaki Hmm, I'll go to your room later You know that there's a part we keep repeating, right? Tell me which scenes
Tumblr media
Izumi Iori I I have thoroughly checked it for the purpose of our project. Like penguins playing in the water and their sleeping state, etc. It seems it's valuable as reference.
Isumi Haruka I get you! The way they huddle up together like a river(1) is cute!! When I watched it in the greenroom with Touma, we went "whooaaaaa"
Yotsuba Tamaki Marucchi watches a lot of videos about dogs too He sure likes that kind of thing
Isumi Haruka He suddenly sends me just a URL of a dog playing in the water lol He also watched our mini video multiple times.
Yotsuba Tamaki Really? We did great
Tumblr media
Isumi Haruka Well, kinda! It's not like I'm not happy Isn't it weird to ask the person himself, "Isn't Haru's movements here great? What do you think?" directly? I'm glad but how should I respond to him? lol
Izumi Iori Isn't that great? It's heartwarming. It's truly envying. For us dancing in front of our fellow members was a mess (angry) (angry) (angry)
Isumi Haruka Really?! Wait, I need an explanation lolololol
Yotsuba Tamaki Rikkun and Nagicchi begged to us, "I want to see a live penguin dance!" they said
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Isumi Haruka Ahh lol
Yotsuba Tamaki But seriously, Iorin you said that you're angry but weren't you really into it?
Izumi Iori You're wrong! I had no other choice and want to end it as soon as possible! Because you're willing to do it!
Isumi Haruka
Tumblr media
Yotsuba Tamaki
Tumblr media
Izumi Iori Stop using that sticker!
Yotsuba Tamaki Don't get embarrassed lolol
Izumi Iori I am not embarrassed, though???
Yotsuba Tamaki Fufufu. I saw through you, Iorin. When Mikki took that picture your ears were red
Isumi Haruka Show me!!!!!!
Yotsuba Tamaki Sorry, Isumin I just heard 100 very angry knocking on my door
Isumi Haruka Lololololol
Yotsuba Tamaki Iorin… Your fingers will get red…
Izumi Iori Yotsuba-san
Yotsuba Tamaki Yes…
Izumi Iori I will expose your scores on the test we had the other day.
Yotsuba Tamaki I'm very sorry.
Izumi Iori I'm glad you understand.
Isumi Haruka When we got our exams Yotsuba instantly shoved his paper in his bag lololol What's really your score?
Yotsuba Tamaki
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Isumi Haruka (guessing)
Yotsuba Tamaki Teacher So-chan's supplementary classes is so hard. Harder than our Math teacher's.
Isumi Haruka Ehh! That Osaka? He seems really nice
Yotsuba Tamaki Nice people don't break doors It seems like it's going to be broken by Iorin next
Tumblr media
Isumi Haruka What's happening there lol
Izumi Iori Osaka-san is a gentle person. He accompanies you whenever you get sleepy while studying and when you rush to play a game.
Isumi Haruka Stop fighting lol Haah, that was entertaining. I'm glad that you're members
Yotsuba Tamaki Ooh That's because Iorin and Isumin are both shy
Isumi Haruka Eh
Izumi Iori Wha
Isumi Haruka I'm very, very sociable! Did you know I studied abroad?
Izumi Iori I just do not make physical contact with people for no reason.
Yotsuba Tamaki I'm glad we're friends. The shooting was fun!
Isumi Haruka Well.
Izumi Iori Yes.
Yotsuba Tamaki Yeah! It was fun because it felt like we're in school(pudding emoji)
Isumi Haruka Seeing Izumi laugh is pretty rare though 😳
Izumi Iori Anyone would laugh hearing the two of you suddenly say "pen pen" at close proximity.
Yotsuba Tamaki We had a battle on who's the fastest at walking like a penguin!
Isumi Haruka
Tumblr media
Yotsuba Tamaki Well, I'm the fastest
Isumi Haruka What are you saying? I'm way faster!
Yotsuba Tamaki No, no matter how you look at it it's me! Iorin who do you think it is?!
Tumblr media
Isumi Haruka
Tumblr media
Izumi Iori Both.
Yotsuba Tamaki That ain't good!
Isumi Haruka That won't do!
Yotsuba Tamaki Isumin, let's have a battle again at school tomorrow!
Isumi Haruka Sure, I won't ever lose
Yotsuba Tamaki Iorin, you'll be the judge!
Izumi Iori Please do not nominate someone arbitrarilly
Isumi Haruka Don't be bias to him just because you're on the same group!
Izumi Iori Hah… I understand I'm strict in my judgement.
Isumi Haruka
Tumblr media
Yotsuba Tamaki
Tumblr media
Izumi Iori

(1) - In the Japanese text, Haruka was saying that the penguins looked like the "river character" while sleeping. The character/kanji for river is 川.

Ohh the bittys being a more open and vulnerable self of their counterparts is actually a really neat idea. New ways to embrass poor crossy. Lol.
Like i imagine bitty cross just going for the cuddles when he really neads one, butting his little head at the patting Hand or starting to let out cute lil purrs. Everyone looking first shocked then amused and then giving big cross a ratger funny look like saying "want some too?" and cross just looking in mortification.
Or bitty cross trying to take care of them by asking question where they hurt or what he can do to help or giving them things he thinks will help them out? And everyone be like "awww criss cross actually caring about us? How sweet~" and cross just flipping them off with a blush.
Or bitty cross being a good boi trying to help out. At ecample in the kitchen when horror cooks by getting him things he need or watching over that horror doesn't miss the timing in case he gets a memory laps or something. Or bitty cross doing the cutest kitten sneezes and everyone just thinking he cute. Cross never gets a break. And pats, lot of them.
Or bitty cross spending time with nightmare who lets him move his tendrils into a nest to chill in when he feels to warm or tired out or bit sickly. Maybe nm unconciously patting his head, when cross just comes into the office to give his report on a Mission and his mind stops working by watching that scene crumbling into a embrassed mess by his smaller counterpart using nm, his boss, like a cooling pad or something.
Lololol. Cross just being *hiding himself into the void of his hood, a lilac light glowing out* STOP HUGGING ME I DONT NEED CUDDLES! I'M STRONG I CAN DO THINGS ON MY OWN! I'M A SOLDIER, I'M NOT CUTE! LIES I DO NOT LIKE U IDIOTS!" or something along the lines. Maybe. He just shy baby.
I could imagine that the more bitty cross grows on them the others feel compelled to spoil him a lil giving him lil gifts like a cookie or New tiny cool (fluffy) clothes or toys when he bored or idk. Things. Maybe not often but from time to time at least. And perhaps they sometimes play or read him too, spending time with him cuz they actually enjoy being togethet ecen if they fight a lot. And by doing all that, they trying to tell cross he can just be a bit more open. He will get to teased to hell and back. But they want deny if he needs something. They accept him. Cuz at the end of day, as much as they all avoid admitting it and being broken in their own way, they feel as family.
Just some thoughts i had wgen reading ur previous reply. Asdtozitdg they so ADORABLE! Anyway even if u created it just by a whim i'm very happy u did!!! They so cute to play with and thinking about scenarios. Thanks for bringing it to the world. 🥰🥰🥰🤗 i adore them dearly!
- 🍓
Haha, I'm glad something I made could have that effect, bitties as a concept are rlly fun to play with I think. And really, they're just so darn cute.

My last imagine was more focused on being friends with Seven as you would in any route except his own, where you're somewhat close but nowhere near as much as in his route.
Well I just finished replaying Seven's route for the first time in years and I also finally bit the bullet and spent my hourglasses on finishing the Secret Ending (I'll have enough for Another Story someday TvT), so I was thinking of doing a follow-up to my last imagine... this time being close enough to see Saeyoung a bit more genuinely ^^! I guess I'd say this is the "Seven's route Good End + Secret Ending" timeline.
So...
Imagine playing Animal Crossing with Saeyoung (and Saeran!)
It had been a long time since the two of you had played any video games together. With everything that's happened, life had just been too hectic for that kind of thing. But now that things were starting to settle down, you guys have the time to indulge in simple pleasures again.
You suggested that Saeyoung try showing Animal Crossing to Saeran, thinking the cozy slow pace game would be perfect for the brothers to bond over. Saeyoung was totally on board with anything to try connecting with his twin, so he grabbed it right away.
Saeyoung started a fresh island and let Saeran be the Resident Representative. The two of them share the town, but he lets Saeran make most of the overall island layout decisions.
The simple repetitive daily tasks and soothing atmosphere is rather therapeutic for Saeran, and once he got the hang of using a gaming system, he took to it pretty quickly. He tolerates Saeyoung's presence on the island but tries to keep some distance. This doesn't always work, since Saeyoung still tries to engage with whatever Saeran's current project is.
"...Hey, get your weird cat shrine away from my hybrid garden... it's ruining the ambiance..."
"Eh? But Saeran, those are the flower guardians! What will become of the poor flowers when there's no one to protect them from evil?"
"Cats don't protect flowers, idiot. Get rid of it."
"...okay;;"
Saeyoung does still like to dive into the game's code and find ways to break the game's boundaries, but he does it in a way that's not obtrusive to Saeran's town decorating.
Saeyoung's decorating in general, while it can still be unconventional and a bit silly, is less over the top than it used to be. Because of the emotional walls he used for the longest time, Saeyoung used to rely heavily on "fishing" for reactions in order to connect with others. Rather than being able to converse on a deeper level, he would exaggerate behavior and push buttons to get reactions, either positive or negative.
Thanks to you, Saeyoung now feels comfortable connecting with others on a deeper emotional level. Don't get me wrong, he still likes to play, still enjoys the occasional prank, and still loves the look on your face when he manages to catch you off guard. But now he doesn't feel like those have to define the majority of his interactions. This means you now get to see some of his more earnest attempts at decorating! …Just don't let your guard down too much. That's when he strikes.
"Wow, Saeyoung, I'm impressed. This is actually a pretty good bedroom design."
"lololol why do you sound so surprised?"
"...do I have to say it? ;;;"
"><; okay okay. Now, if you like this one, wait until you see the basement!"
"Yeah, let's go! I really like what you've done with the place so far. It's actually pretty practical and-.....ah...Saeyoung...?"
"Yeeesss? ^^"
"...Why do you have an... Elizabeth 3rd altar in your basement? Wow...that's...very detailed."
"Jumin said I should inject more culture and class into my decor tastes lolol do you like it?"
"....Hah...Yeah."
"Hooray!!"
If either you or Saeran have a particular villager that you really want, Saeyoung will get them from the online “villager black market” for you. He'll do his best to get you two whatever you want in general, honestly. Even if it's rare. If he can't get it on his own he'll just cheat the system. He has no problem breaking the rules to put smiles on the faces of the two most important people in his life.
Saeran actually plays more often than Saeyoung does, and he may invite you over if the two of you are close enough. He's really good at breeding hybrids, and you end up leaving with one of your favorite kind of hybrid as a gift.
Please volunteer to play with both boys, not just one. They both love it, and it slowly becomes something special that the three of you share. Things have changed a lot, but times like these remind you what a wonderful little family you've been welcomed into.

Hello, CalmWriMo 26
Today was a very good day. You know why? I rediscovered walking around but inside. I took like a 30 minute walk but in figure eights in my house and it was very good for my writing brain. What did I proceed to do? I drafted 3 whole different scenes!
See, it's almost like taking walks for my mental health is REALLY GOOD FOR ME or something!
New goal dropped for December -- daily walks inside my house 😍
Also also, I got to play Shadowrun for the first time with my friends! I'm Cat with a Q (Qat) and my pet is Cat with a Ch.
"So... Chat?"
"No, Cacht. The CH is silent."
The joke works better in audio. 💀💀💀
https://picrew.me/en/image_maker/1272810/complete?cd=xsFqqefQ9U
Tumblr media
Anyway, Qat is neurodivergent and a minor (except she isn't a minor lol). She's also an invisible Aspected Wizard with a pet cat, who was blessed by her spirit guide, and she lives in your walls. She's homeless. Her quest is for ramen with hot water.
ALSO ALSO -- I got sucked into Neocities today, on account of a post in my ridiculously long backlogged queue. But as I looked into it more, people are scared it might die soon cuz it's run by one guy?! Why do I always get into things when they're dying? Tiktok was the only thing I joined even VAGUELY early!? It's not fair! But sites on Neocities are SO COOL and I'm very seriously considering moving the entirity of the Yssaia site AGAIN lololol. But I had a complaint the Wix Blog and my Wix Site lowered its storage cap on me this last year so it isn't even EZ to read on or host images so... Hence why I'm very tempted to just scrap the whole thing and find somewhere else...
*ahem* Writing snippet! Right! Listen, the "journaling but on Tumblr" thing is going shockingly well. I don't censor myself -- the plan was just to cut anything I didn't want to post. But I haven't had any ultra-personal additions to add lately. So now I just ramble here lol. (Maybe I'm too open of a person?)
This snippet is between Lucienne and Nesa -- both gaslight/gatekeep/girlboss girlies dating Arlasaire, except Lucienne has generational trauma and Nesa does not. They are notably the same age, but Nesa has decided on the tactic of pretending Luce is a fantasy kindergartener
Lu: …Who are you? Ne: Nesa Kanespari — Second only to the Inquisitor General of the Ecclesia. And you are being a very bad girl, aren’t you? I don’t know how you do things in the North, but here in the South, we don’t hit people when we’re mad. Lu: “People.” She doesn’t even have a sash. Ne: Ah, so are you the type of little girl who kicks streetcats because she doesn’t have power over anything else? Lu: I’m not a child. Ne: Really? Because you’re acting like one. Apologize to Arlasaire. Ar: Nesa, it’s fine— Ne: No, it isn’t. Apologize. Lu: Why should I? Ne: “Why?” Well, for one, she could break you you over her knee, if she wanted. She won’t, because she likes you, but she could. But here’s the catch, Miss Lucienne, pay attention: She may not ever hurt you — but I have no qualms doing so.
I saw this Tiktok where a lady pretended to talk to Extended Family at Thanksgiving and told them to "Mind their bodies" and "Catch a bubble" and "Think silently, in your own head". And it was hilarious. I loved it. So Nesa is stealing this tactic -- but I did imagine an alt scene where Nesa is full-aggro, mama-bear for Arlasaire. But I think that might be too much for what is functionally a Charisma-based character lol.
Okay, thanks for the good talk! Take care of yourself in this final stretch of Nano/CalmWriMo!

Hi Mayra soooo exited for when you start writing anyway may I submit a prompt? Sonic breaks his leg protecting Amy. He expects her to be doting on him while housebound but other than a care package nothing. Confused he calls her up and she admits to feeling responsible he got hurt so she's keeping her distance in case he's angry. Sonic then has Amy come over and talk explaining his speed is not more important than his friends safety and he'd give it up in a heartbeat to save her if it came to it
Sadly, I won't be able to take requests at this time, but I'm glad I'm trying to find time to write too ^^ Yours was within the 'Grand Reopening' time so here we go!
Especially after that nice Anon was looking for my past sonamy story TAT it really gave me the 'uumph' to keep striving to make time for it! Life gets hectic, but that's when we need stories more than ever!
As always, I will do my very best ;)b
Forgive the errors... lololol if any. Typing this quickly so that you get something and while I have the energy and time, you still have something wonderful to read ^///^
Tumblr media
(Harder and harder to find unique pics for these Preview Prompt Images xD)
HEY, PROMPTS ARE STILL LOCKED AND ON SHUTDOWN, YO~ So be respectful and don't submit any more, bro!~ Yeah!
Tumblr media
(Mario, on my Sonic Prompt? More likely than you think)
Also, this idea kinda reminds me of my (shameless plug) "Rememory" Fanfiction online! Give it a looksie at either Fanfiction, Wattpad, or Archive of Our Own!
Prompt:
Sonic saw the hammer shoot off the Metarex ship, the on-coming hit only bounced off like his punches and kicks, but unlike his limps, the hammer was now rotating at a dangerous spin towards its thrower...
Amy Rose.
"Ammyyy!!!" Sonic sped up over the Blue Typhoon, racing towards her with each step being like a leap due to the gravity situation.
He held out his hands and finally just let gravity move him, flying like a comet to push her out of the way, hearing her cry out in shock at how fast he got to her. While still hovering in the air, the hammer's hard-ended side broke through the ship's exterior, causing a crater impact due to the force it had generated, and physics would still be physics.
Sonic's eyes shook as he let out a painful, air-shaking quake from his throat in agony, his leg feeling like it got snapped like a toothpick as the hammer flung off into space, still at a weird spinning angle but 'poof'd as Amy recalled it back to her with a snap of her wrist and flex of her hand.
"S... Sonic..." Her eyes were one of horror...
"Physical attacks are only rebounded! We'll need Super Sonic!" Tails's voice spoke over the intercom, manning the ship. "Sonic? Are you okay? Sooniicc!!"
Sonic hovered in the air... floating as though dead weight.
He slowly reached out with quivering hands to grab a ship part that was floating by him, securing his hands to the railing as his eyes were glossy in holding back tears, his teeth tightened to the point of aching his jaw. He was doing everything in his power to not make any loud sounds of distress, "Tck... Tsk-ikk... ggrrk..." he strained against the pain of his floating, broken leg...
"T-TAILS..!!" he cried out, which had everyone spooked a moment by the escaped tone of severity in his voice. "N-NOW!"
He pushed off the ship as Tails released the Chaos Emeralds into orbit, and quickly managed to turn Super Sonic as he forward rotated and flipped into the transformation.
Amy's hand that was holding the hammer trembled... then dropped to fully de-summon the weapon... as both her wobbling hands rose up to her cheeks. "What... What have I done..?"
She fell to her knees as tears fell without a single blink, her shock completely overwhelming her as Sonic flew out to deal with the Metarex's enemy cruiser.
It was a long... hard fight to get through, and Super Shadow even noticed the strange way Sonic bent one leg but let the other dangle below him.
"... Sonic..." He looked up at him, seeing Sonic straining and his lower-eyelid twitching as he held in the pain.
He looked over to Shadow and winked, "Heh-heh!" with a cocky grin on his face, "Let's get this over with... S-Shadow..." his body betrayed him... though it was meant to not cause alarm to Shadow of his situation, it only revealed itself when his body twitched in the air as though a quick jerked movement to reveal something was wrong with him.
Before Shadow could open his mouth to response, to even dare ask the hero what was the matter, the two were fired at and had to quickly part. Sonic still threw a kick with his good leg... but he could barely spin-dash in his condition, the pain too great to-
But he had to do it.
"We need a hard hit, Shadow! At their center!" Sonic called out, pointing to their generator which held a small tree in a glass box, but the barrier around it was intense.
Shadow's eyes softened, "That may be one of their people... using them for their own means..."
Sonic looked sympathetically to him, "I'm sure she'd want to be free of it... Shadow."
He nodded, but then looked to Sonic... "... And what about you? Are you trying to be free of it?"
Sonic didn't look back at him, just kept his serious expression. The Metarex were using their own people as power... to free the tree would be to help the poor soul not endure the torture anymore of being used and manipulated...
"Come on," was the last words Shadow heard before Sonic tried to strain and force his body to curl.
Watching the hero even attempt to pick up the leg that appeared somehow 'wrong' to Shadow,... it almost amazed him at how much Sonic wouldn't speak of it... but in the heat of the moment, he admired that Sonic wasn't thinking of himself, nor complaining.
Shadow would have done the same.
He nodded, dropping the topic and curled to spin as well. The two fired into the barrier, getting stopped at first but pushing through... until finally... a large beam of light showed their success, and the ship exploded...
The tree flew off and seemed to lose its petals and leaves... as a young girl's voice seemed to pierce Shadow and Sonic's ears... "Thank you... Oh, please... protect the universe... Heroes..."
Sonic, once losing the Super form, floated weakly to his knees first, then his hands, before finally twitching his head down and then crying out in agony, unable to hold it in.
He had tears in his eyes and flopped over, his hands twitching as they wanted to grasp his hurt leg but Sonic writhed in pain on the ground.
Shadow watched as the hero couldn't withhold his suffering anymore... and seriously took one arm of Sonic's and pulled it over his shoulder.
In silence, Shadow carried the injured, at times unable to not scream, hero back to the ship's medical bay...
...
Sonic awoke to the lights above him, blinking before Cream's sweet face came into view, "Mr. Sonic!" she gave him a kind open-smile, gently pulling up his hospital white sheet over his covered body as he noticed the leg up in a sling.
Cheese also chimed in, floating around him and hugging the side of his head, which made Sonic close an eye and happily scratch in a pet the back of Cheese's own tear-drop head.
"Heh-heh, hey there, guys." He didn't want to worry anyone, but it felt like someone worked on his leg... he'd probably be fine. "How is it? Everyone alright?" he smiled as he masked, mostly not caring about himself, though.
He didn't want to hear any bad news... so no news would be fine.
For now...
Cream nodded sweetly, but her eyes bent back, as though realizing Sonic wasn't asking about himself, first. "Oh, Mr. Sonic... everyone's been worried about you.", "Chao, Chao..!" Cheese held one little arm up to his head, showing his concern too.
There was no sound in space... but even Sonic heard the 'Piko!' of the hammer splitting the leg in two, but maybe it wasn't so bad... maybe it didn't shatter anything...
He just smiled and tilted his head, "I'm sure you've been taking good care of me in the meantime, Cream." he closed his eyes, not allowing any fear to reside in himself.
But there was one fear...
Amy...
"Where's Amy?" He asked, blinking his eyes innocently open only to be surprised to see Cream's face full of deep helplessness.
"Oh, Mr. Sonic... we've tried to get her out of her room, but..."
Sonic's face lost the smile.
'I tried so hard...' he turned his head lifting a hand over his face, 'So that she wouldn't notice...'
He didn't want her to blame herself.
That was his greatest worry.
For a man who runs through life just enjoying what comes at him.
That hammer he knew was rogue and had nothing to do with her.
She threw it to help defend, it rebounded and had nothing to do with her after it left her hand.
"Her room..? I'll go check it out." He started to lean up when suddenly-
"Mr. Sonic, no!" Cream tried to stop him but a sharp pain escalated like an arrow made of lightning up from his leg towards his chest and straight into a critical hit in his brain.
"Gahh..! Hahhh..!" his eyes went white and he fell back.
That... didn't feel... so good.
He awoke again with seeing Tails and Chris behind the soundproof window, and Shadow seeming to gesture out his unfolded arm to speak and then put it back to crossing over himself.
Chris looked back at Sonic, his face full of fear before his eyes widened to notice Sonic awake.
Sonic made a grimace.
That atmosphere over there didn't look so good.
He threw the white bedsheet off of himself and rolled, watching only briefly out of the corner of his eye how everyone seemed to panic, and caught himself with his good leg and hands, lifting his bad leg up in its cast as he fought some pain. It was within the sling so he had to twist himself to get it out, too, which made his leg feel like blood was rushing down from it, leaving it tingly and sharply pulsing a pain throughout him.
He held a serious look, a bit of sweat running down his eyebrow. 'If I leave everyone making those kinds of faces... then what kinda hedgehog would I be?' he raced on three legs out of the room and spun to kick the lever-flipped door open to race out. 'First... starting with-Ah!' he screeched to a halt as he backed up, seeing Team Chaotix holding out their gloved hands.
"Oh, no, you don't!" Vector smirked, "A hero needs his rest, Sonic! Sorry, but we've got orders to-" he was cut off as Sonic hopped back to avoid any invisible 'grabbing' from Espio and then charged to jump over the three, Charmy trying to wrap his arms around him in mid-air but Sonic was just too quick for them.
"H-hey!" Charmy threw up his hands and then down in a mini in-flight tantrum. "You come back here this instant, Sonic! You're hurt, you know!?"
Espio become visible again, looking over his shoulder, "Perhaps... he doesn't want anyone to worry about him..."
Vector slung an arm around him, "Or maybe he's just being reckless! You know how Sonic is! Besides... how'd he know you were coming at him?"
Espio's pride shook him to his core, "I... Don't know, Vector..." He shook a fist up in the air, "But my pride as a ninja will not be sedated till I find out why!"
The three were on the case!
Sonic hopped on one leg before turning to Amy's door, a serious expression on his face, before knocking on it and leaning on the wall in some discomfort, the pain was really agitating him...
He hated being in a cast.
He pounded lightly the side of his hip with the hurt leg, just trying anything to push the pain down.
He could mask all he wanted... but that didn't eliminate the fact that he didn't know how bad his leg was... or if it was treatable.
Amy didn't answer, and he knocked again.
"Amy..." he was straining to remain upright, feeling the blood rush back to his leg and make it feel heavy. "It's not your fault..." he was feeling his consciousness slip again, getting woozy...
"In all honesty..." he was starting to hunch over, his hands trying to grip the front of the door with nothing to grasp onto to its smooth surface... his body twitching up and down to stay erect, and his eyes squinting against the blackout to follow... Adrenaline was moving him at this point. "To know you're all worried about me... is kinda scary." he shook his head, then leaned it against the door, "I could live... I could breathe... but thinking this could have happened to you, Amy... if I hadn't been fast enough..? That's a fear I couldn't take." he started losing his strength, bending on his good knee as his other leg stretched out and shook at being over-expended.
"Amy... I couldn't live... if something had happened... to any of you..." he slowly slipped to the ground, "Gahh... hahh..." the door opened as his head fell down.
"Sooniiiccc!!!" it was the most comforting sound he could have heard... as he breathed heavily... and smiled as he lost consciousness.
(I know it's evil to end here, but I hope you enjoyed the prompt ^^)
(Lol, just kidding!)
Sonic opened his eyes in the hospital wing's nice warm, soft and durable bed again... but this time...
Amy's smiling face, full of tears, greeted him with her hand in his own. She tilted her head, "Hehe~" giving him her most cheerful look, and closed her eyes as tears sprayed off in a beautiful sparkle by the sides of her long eyelashes...
He smiled, lowering his eyelids a bit.
His friends were all around him now too, each giving him a proud look as Amy must have told them what he said.
He could rest now.
"Your leg is gonna be fine, Sonic." Amy stated, "I just... I worried you wouldn't be." She looked down, her eyes shaking somewhat as Sonic chuckled, making her look up in surprise.
"Ohhh..!! We were worried!" she puffed up a cheek at his mocking of her.
He smiled brightly to everyone.
"Everyone!" he called out, "Thank you!"
They all seemed pleased that he wasn't in as much pain anymore.
"Buuuuut..." Tails just had to inerupt the happy moment of healing.... "Umm... it does mean... you'll be bedridden for some time, though..."
Everyone slowly leaned back... and just as expected, Sonic's eyes shot out wide and he cried out in a huge whine.
"NOOOOooooo.....!!!!"
"You'll live with it, though, right?" Amy smiled as the gang all joined in on her joke with a laugh, but Sonic just looked so silly in his little self-pity party...
They brought him movies and good food though, he liked cheering them on while Shadow took care of any more enemy spacecraft, but really got riled up to the point that he would hop out of bed to go help.
He did recover smoothly, though... He gave a wink to Amy and a thumbs up over his shoulder when he turned Super and proved his leg was just fine... Amy's eyes twinkled at her restored hero, and she never locked herself away in her room again...
(Anyone notice I wrote this with Japanese Sonic X personality for Sonic in mind? hehe, cause I did XD did you know the new Sonic game will also have two entirely different scripts for English and Japanese audiences? the dislink, man TAT but at least that means we get a canon Japanese script for the Open-zone Sonic game!)

9/25-26/2023
i took a walk today.
Tumblr media
i saw this guy. i took a picture with him too.
Tumblr media
i can scarcely imagine what people are supposed to use this guy for i guess you just throw balls at him and practice aim or something. encountering him felt really crazy. just disused shadows of men posed and waiting to play ball with you.
anyways, i also cleaned the apartment a bunch while listening to the locust and electrosleep int'l, the floors of the bathroom, and then the studio zone i guess, kitchen and everything, under my gf's desk, and i also super cleaned off our kettle, i'd like to go at it again but it's in a decent enough state now. this is gross but oil splatters onto it and i just didn't really bother. don't think badly of me please. it's not like it's for anything but hot water, and like, it's not fancy. but seeing it cleaner, to the point i could really actually see myself in it, was crazy, it's this old thing from my grandma, i never saw the thing approaching bright.
tomorrow we're going to see a movie, and then after is errand day again. everything is super busy suddenly, i guess.
not really actually. but you know. or you don't. i dunno what i'm saying honestlyyy.
i took a walk today, and cleaned so much today, because i need to take a break from music so i can go back to these songs and with a clear head actually listen and decide on changes and things, see what is actually good, or closer to actually good, and what isn't. i've driven myself slightly crazy. i think the most i can let myself do each day, is work on guitar tones, just little stuff at this point, figure out cool ways to distort things and whatever else. to help with guitars, i acquired (lololol) a plugin that simulates pickups on a guitar. really really useful actually. i honestly expected it to sssuck, but it didn't/doesn't, and that plugin came with another thing that can do distortion, and it's a good sounding distortion/bunch of good sounding distortions.
so now that i have all these amp sims, a pickup sim, some physical modeling, impulse responses to simulate cabs, i'm excited about putting imperfect guitar simulations through these things to reach fucked up and weird tones. so far though, i'm really fond of all the ring modulation options i have. they can help me get some locust-y sounds. i can already do that on my own too though honestly.
i should do the last bits of working out i need to do today and wash my face after this song.
today i've also been looking for more images of grubs/larvae/whatever, for the cover art.
and now the movie tomorrow is a maybe. that's mostly okay i guess. i could go either way i was just excited for it because it'd be a welcome distraction so i wouldn't keep obsessing. we'd have to go to a part of town that honestly i am not super crazy about. downtown is just super, i dunno, grody in a way. mega gentrified, supra-millennial, hot, sad. it's the los angeles las vegas crossroads, really. it's better than the strip which is just a soulsucking hell every time i'm there for even a little bit. but the movie would probably be really good, it'd be a wkw movie i'm pretty sure, i've never seen any of his movies.
on my walk i didn't see much else that was really memorable i guess, i walked around where i normally walk around, a lot of other people out today which makes me feel nervous a little i guess, some people stare. i guess at the end of the day i just hope they stare in the more positive way and not because they think i'm way disgusting or something but the positive way is also not actually positive. it's just unfortunately somewhat gratifying to be seen like that i guess.
anyways i'm really sleepy now, so maybe i should just go lay down earlier than usual. it might be really good for me. i can't wait to see if i feel good tomorrow and then not ruin that with forcing myself to sit and listen to these songs over and over and instead maybe just working on a guitar sound or something. that would be kind of a nice day, and then maybe going and seeing a movie, and if i don't i dunno.
oh, tonight i tried something new, breaded chicken and gochujang butter instead of miso butter (still kind of miso butter because i put miso in there too). it was really good. it's kind of like, the best of both worlds.
anyways, byebye!!

aldisvd i love the hollow knight designs but ive never played the game/ dont know the lore lololol
(I'M SO SORRY THAT I LET THIS ROT IN MY INBOX FOR FOREVER AAAAA-)
Hey that's alright! The designs are very VERY nice, they did a great job of stylizing bugs! And the lore is. Confusing. From my point of view at least. Also The game is hard so that will steer some people away.
I don't quite know if you were wanting me to give a run down of the lore or something but I will HAPPILY DO SO!
The game itself is a platformer, you explore (mostly) underground areas, killing lots of infected bugs as you do. You see, the town you explore, Hollow nest, is mostly abandoned. This is because an outbreak of what is called "The infection" which caused the infected to become violent, be tortured with bright light instead of thoughts, and spirit orange goop when killed. This infection is caused by God, for what reason I'm not quite sure. BUT! you are a tiny little being who is amazing at killing and maiming and you go around Hollow Nest doing those exact things!
You meet characters with wide ranges of personality, from Tiso to Conifer to Quirrel to Hornet, and there are shops to buy upgrades from. The boss battles are REALLY HARD and the parkour is EVEN HARDER IN MY OPINION.
Anyway SPOILERS
By the end of the game you should be jacked and so you fight your eldest sibling, the Hollow Knight. Depending what you do/have gets you a different ending. There's the neutral one, where you take their place as the plague holder and get chained up inside their cage, there's the Bound Siblings one, you trap your sister in their with you =(, and then there is (I think it might be the true ending?) The ending where all hell breaks loose. You fight God and with the help of ghosts from thousands of deceased siblings and the Hollow Knight you defeat her, but die afterwards, leaving your sister, Hornet and possibly the only surviving wyrm kin, alone to wistfully look off into the distance. AND SHE'S GONNA HAVE HER OWN GAME TOO!!! =D!!! it's called Hollow Knight: Silk Song and is gonna be hard =)!!

Hello lovely! Tokyo rev anon here!Hope your day is going well and that u r taking breaks. I was wondering what some of ur favourite tropes are. I'm personally a suckered for anything either friends to lovers, the pining and will they won't they feeling just gets me every time, itd too good to pass up. I also love anything with gangs and time travel as well as . Your oc headcanons were so much fun to read. Hopefully we will be able to hear more about them in the future! I'm loving your blurbos (OCs). Sending u virtual hugs all the way from the Mediterranean and I hope u have a great night/day. Also I've just watched the jjk 0 movie and it was so good. I've also rewatched the whole of jjk at first I didn't like gojo on my first watch but on this rewatch he became my favourite character. I still stand by the fact that mahito is kind of pretty... in his own way. I can't stand geto though but apart from his personality that man is fine as hell I must say, he's on the same ranking as mahito for me in terms of favourites XD. But Nanami is still one of my favourites. Anyways lemme stop rambling , sending u love and support through my screen ♡♡♡♡♡♡
wait are you the same anon in my sideblog??? i’m just asking so i can use your tag there too shsjsj but HELLO i’m so glad you love my silly girls they’re so precious to me i’m happy to know you enjoy learning about them. thank you 🥹
as for tropes: friends to lovers. always. and you are so right for liking it too. the chemistry that’s already there. the casual intimacy but for some reason an accidental hand touching sends them stuttering and there’s the awkward silence. the pining. nights where they can’t sleep thinking about each other, grinning at a stupid joke the other person said. and when people ask “are you guys dating?” and they’re just like “noo haha we’re just really good friends lololol” then the amplified tension after that because deep down they long for each other and they have no clue it’s mutual. and the confessions can never go wrong. whether it’s the blurted out “i’m in love with you” in the middle of an argument or a whispered “i really like you” “i can’t stop thinking about you” PLEASE friends to lovers is a gift that keeps on giving. it’s not just a trope it’s my SUSTENANCE. i love that shit so much <333 and !!! found family. i don’t think that trope has ever let me down. it’s always so fun seeing different dynamics within the group but they all mesh so well <33 also that trope in anastasia where they thought they’re complete strangers only to find out they’ve met when they were kids and they go “that was YOU?!” i am not immune
omg i always forget to watch jjk 0 sjdnejssk and i planned on reading the manga from where the anime left off but i realized how barely i understood their power system so i gave up LMFAOOO i might rewatch it but yes ugh gojo and kento are so sexyyyy i need them 😩😩 pls all the jjk men are so pretty like pretty privilege is a good thing if it’s them <33 ALSO totally unrelated idk if you’ve heard but tokrev only has five chapters left :(
i’m sending you back lots of love!! i just had lunch and it was one of my favorite dishes so i’m in a good mood. i hope your day is going well too 💞

I soooooo agree with your tags that they would just be a family of three for a long time, especially cause like they chose to stay in that tiny ass carriage house lololol. They’re not fitting another kid in there anytime soon and they’re not leaving Lavon’s either lol. But also I love the idea that they don’t need more right away cause it’s like they’re one giant family full of kids? Cause you know Lemon’s gonna demand a boy and a girl and I always headcanon that George/AB would have a whole gaggle of kids plus there’s Froda and Ethel and yeah! Love the one giant blended family that is Bluebell, Alabama.
YEAH like I don't think I ever really fully considered what the Hart-Kinsella family would look like after the finale until i rewatched it yesterday and my brain just went "oh, future" and then kicked into overdrive. So yeah now I'm fully committed to the idea that even the thought of a second kid never even so much as crossed their minds; they have more than their hands full trying to raise Jack into a decent and well adjusted individual (they'll do an outstanding job, of course, but, you know, parental trauma, and all that). And it's not until Jack's like 10-12 that the idea does come to them, which means that they're both in their early 40's, and Zoe realizes "OH FUCK, menopause", and their still quite active sex life gets a booster.
Because I just love the irony of their first pregnancy being accidental and then when they're actually committed to getting pregnant, they struggle with it. So when Jack finally gets his little baby sister and realizes how sweet it is and demands a whole half dozen more of them, Zoe has to find a way to gently break it to him that sorry buddy, but that's sadly Never happening.
And I personally live in a parallel timeline where Lemon had a little baby girl during season 2 already, which means that Jack is the youngest in the quartet that consists of him, Lemon and George's daughter, Ethel, and Froda, but yeah!!! The entire town of Bluebell is a big family in itself, so Jack has never lacked in kids his own age to play and fight and get into trouble with, and never really understood the whole hullabaloo with siblings.
...until his parents realized that they wanted one for him, and he realized that he quite liked being a big brother and that he wanted more of them, but by then it was too late for that. He loves his sister with his whole heart though, and wouldn't even hesitate a second to give up the entire world for her!

omg oli hiii! no worries at all hehe, i was sorta worried because of the oli drought lol
actually me and eli broke up like last week lmao. my friend was the one who suggested it - he was like, "dude. you dont seem interested in your relationship at all anymore. hes dating you thinking you still like him, which is unfair. i genuinely think you like han more than eli at this point; if what you said about getting the feeling of him not really keeping to himself is true, then break up, for both of your sakes."
so i did 🤷‍♀️
but yes i love 'I Can See You', all of the vault tracks are so good! foolish one was written for me lolol. and timeless is so perfect. "in the 1500s in a foreign land"??? ma'am, queen taylor has slayed again. or should i say, queen slaylor?
lmao i agree with the seasoning part. existence is too boring indeed. although i disagree with using the crush thingy. i don't REALLY like him, sort of just an attraction. in fact its over too lol. he texted me and we talked for a little bit and everything has gone back to how it was before anything turned up 💀 i get the ick quite easily
oh no! im sorry! im sure it will, but in the meantine, if you ever need, i'm always here :)
he did lmao! it took a lot of begging, and a lot of flat out refusal ("i cant write that! thats objectification! "consensual objectification!" "... no way i can do that. id be scarred." "its fine just do just do it pleaaaaase!" "lmao i cannot write smut about you both, thats too far, even for me, canberry." "...what about all of the smut you read then-") (not sure what gave him that impression but i am a college student, what am i, mary jane? i could, but i wont 🤭) cranberry asked after i wrote a sort of drabble for his friend (who also asked, but he gives highkey gay vibes lol. he and his gym bro and both crazy) back in january, but i flat out refused. and then something my friend posted on her story after one of our finals made me go "... no way, but i actually have a great idea"
ergo it happened!
but its definitely platonic lolol im sort of their only friend with such *amazing* writing skills ;) their exact words were "but youre the only person we know who writes fanfiction, please please please"
lmao i have no clue, just being crazy with their boys i guess lol.
hopefully! definitely did not seem that way from his messages, but maybe im wrong. ill give it a couple of months? plus, i have not been blocked, or removed from his stories, and he did enjoy reading it (bros was laughing so hard he couldnt even read)
lmaooo me too! we would be so iconic. feel free to drama dump anytime lmaoo. i am officially a *tumblr user who gets asks* (proud smiling) hehe 😈
i also cooked my own curry for the first time today hehe that was interesting
lmao i will try, thank you for the tip <3
love, sythe <3
sorry it took me so long to reply, sythe!!
1) don’t be worried about oli droughts, I just get busy but everything is fine!
2) sorry to hear about eli 😭 damn. but also rip and thank u next, you know what I’m sayin
3) foolish one was written for all us tumblr girlies!! lololol. but also, you don’t have to have a CRUSH just to have a lil crush. like, just a lil makin eyes on occasion makes life less boring hehe
4) truly CANNOT imagine anyone in my real life asking me to write them fanfic let alone a BOY let alone SMUT that is a crazy story
🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡 (ps have you watched Ahsoka yet)

On the future
So today ismail's vinyl came in. I'm going to hop over to amcorp on the weekends to see if i can find a good turntable for cheap. I think it'll be a nice gift ( also i kinda want one for myself and im sure he'll let me use it too lol ) The vinyl i got him even comes with a poster i am 100% he'll love it.
But on the topic of his birthday next week,
it's really got me thinking a bunch,
I honestly know he loves me and all that. Without a doubt, in terms of love u know. but i don't know, something feels off, aside from the love thing. could just be me being idk you know paranoid me. Yesterday we discussed about what music we wanna make, and started a playlist for it too.
he's really great, i honestly just feel less alone with this person because we love and want the same things, i've honestly never felt that way about anyone before like that, ive loved other people but i dont think ive really felt what it is im feeling for ismail.
i don't know, maybe it was just the whole marriage thing, He was supposed to marry salma and she's getting engaged, He also met someone else after me, but it didnt work out bcs apparently something something tak sama vision la entah aku pun tak tahu lmfao
I guess it just
annoys me i'm not a girlfriend yet, and even when i am a girlfriend,
why do i get the feeling that this person has no want to marry me at all. He probably doesnt, and i guess it makes sense since we're only on good terms now, 3/4 months
but we've known eachother for a while now, this all doesn't bother me that much to be honest, its just upsetting how my parents don't like him anymore n his parents dont even know i exist
like it all just got thrown out, it feels good writing this down i guess. I dont feel like talking to him about it bcs tbh If he wants to do something about us or make it proper, he has his chance to do so, I'll give him time but honestly, I hate how if someone came along and offered something more concrete that i'd consider it. i love him like on god, dont get me wrong, and tbh i probably wouldnt even budge if someone else wanted me, but i think I just want to be a part of his life again and vice versa, not some weird secret where it's just the two of us.
Whatever, thinking about this just makes me angry.
my birthday happened a few days back, being 22 is not relieving at all. I always feel relief when i get older but now it's just replaced with this weird sense of dread tbh
i missed therapy roday i totally forgot about it. also my left eye hurts and idk why but maybe i need to take a break on the whole eyelash extension thing kejap lololol
if it still feels weird ill get them removed.
i also feel like taking a break from social media, no particular reason, i think its just a thing i feel from time to time.
working at an office i realize, you're just sort of
waiting for stuff to happen most of the time and it gets really boring.
oh i also gained so much weight, like 8 kg idk how i did that but i'm hoping to lose the weight soon. I'm on a calorie deficit right now, but its sort of hard to be consistent since i eat out with people and not eating a normal amount kinda weird people out and i kinda dont wanna weird people out u know???
I wonder when gjie is going to come back to office,
i really suck at scripting radio ads lololol Idk its surprisingly kinda hard to do, and i think its because i dont know how to make something not too formal and not too casual.
I wish my radio station was a little more relaxed. Maybe one day, i'll make my own radio station. Idk its just a funny idea, but it would be cool i think. Just me and myself.
I dont think anyone would listen to it though,
i like to think i'm interesting as a person
but i think i'm not so great nowadays, i'm not as interesting as i thought i was. I also kind of miss my long hair. Its nice having less weight on your hair but , I miss the comfort of long hair, just made me feel protected

Reading recap, November 2022 (Part 1)
At the start of the pandemic, I decided to do something I'd never done in all of my years of being an avid reader: actually keep track of the books I've read. Since I'm trying to be more intentional about the whole thing, I thought it might be fun to think back on what I've read, month by month. I'm going to do a longer "year in review" reflection on my favorite books I read this year in about a month and say more about my reading habits, but this is really just a series of bite-sized reviews. Some book chomps, if you will.
Tumblr media
For the record, for the last few years I've mostly been reading books in audiobook form, and I try to use the Libby App as much as possible. Because of where I live I'm fortunate to have access to two great local public library systems. When I can't find a book in my local libraries I like to use the Libro.fm app, which allows you to buy books and choose an independent bookstore to support with your purchase, instead of your money going to the space cowboy who won't let his employees take bathroom breaks.
I tend to read a lot of historical nonfiction (especially about cold boys), sci-fi, and romance. This month I read six books, which must be some kind of record for me, and was only possible because I had a few long flights, and some of these books were fairly short. Plus I pretty much inhaled Ocean's Echo, which we'll get to in a moment. Good thing I didn't have many social obligations the first week of the month, when that book dropped.
OK, on to the books!
Tumblr media
Ocean's Echo by Everina Maxwell
I ADORED Maxwell's first book, Winter's Orbit, which started life as an original story on AO3. (Seriously, go read it now if you haven't!) I couldn't wait for her follow-up, which I preordered on Libro.fm and guzzled down the first week of November, ignoring various responsibilities and coming up with excuses to putter around the house with my headphones in. Ocean's Echo is a queer romance space opera that's set in the same universe as Winter's Orbit but follows different characters. Tennal, a hot mess royal who has had one too many strikes against him (and can read minds) and Surit, a by-the-books military officer (who can control minds) are paired to work together for Space Plot Reasons. They're essentially commanded to meld minds, against their own wishes, but they decide to secretly refuse orders and fake their mind bond instead. Will they pull it off? Will they come to trust and love each other? WHO CAN SAY?
I so enjoyed this book and like Winter's Orbit I think Maxwell once again gives us a beautifully-crafted look into how two people, thrown together by circumstance, can come to understand and love each other. No spoilers, but there are a few moments in here, especially towards the end, that I found to be totally devastating, which is how I like things.
Tumblr media
I also love Maxwell's writing style. I watched a virtual book talk with Maxwell and Freya Marske (which you can catch on YouTube!) and it's clear that they devote so much time to thinking through character development and finding ways to use and subvert character tropes. I will say that I thought the plot of Winter's Orbit was a touch tighter than Ocean's Echo, but that should in no way prevent you from READING THIS BOOK STAT.
One final note (wow, this is not bite-sized at all): I got the audiobook in part because I really enjoyed the audiobook version of Winter's Orbit, and Ocean's Echo was recorded by the same narrator. It's great. But the narrator used essentially the same voice for both Jainan in Winter's Orbit and Surit in Ocean's Echo, which, uh, was kind of distracting at first. FYI.
OK next book:
Tumblr media
The Whale: A Love Story by Mark Beauregard
::cue obligatory whale noises::
The Whale is a deep dive lololol into the relationship between Herman Melville and Nathaniel Hawthorne, built on the two literary giants' letters to each other and the archival traces of their passionate feelings for each other and for each other's work that developed in the early 1850s, while both men lived in the Berkshires region of Massachusetts. This was when Melville was at work on Moby-Dick (Melville dedicated this novel to Hawthorne, whom he also described in a book review as having "[shot] his strong New-England roots into the hot soil of my Southern soul.") At its core, The Whale is about the tortures of writing, of inner life, the joy of a great work of art, and of recognizing oneself in someone else and being seen in return.
Beauregard does a wonderful job constructing conversations between Melville and Hawthorne and describing the yearning that both men expressed for each other (mostly from Melville's point of view; only his letters have survived, and Beauregard created the letters Hawthorne wrote to Melville that appear in The Whale). This book came highly recommended and I didn't love it the way I was hoping to - there are times when I thought it felt a bit stiff or disjointed, but maybe that's only because Melville and Hawthorne's relationship was, itself, full of so many torturous turns. Plus Melville's wife comes across as a one-note nagging woman who just, ya know, gets on his case to make some money so the family doesn't starve. But if you like historical fiction (non-fiction?) it's still very much worth a read.
OK, last one for this post!
Tumblr media
Love, Hate & Clickbait by Liz Bowery (mild spoilers ahead)
Eh. This came recommended by a friend whose reading taste I TRUST (the same friend who recommended Winter's Orbit to me last year), who told me they read it in one night.
Tumblr media
Eh.
Basically, this book is about two guys - one, a straight asshole dudebro and one, a clueless gay nerd who is very tall - who both work for the same Democratic politician, who is campaigning for the presidential nomination. When she says something homophobic and it's caught on camera, her staffers come up with the brilliant solution of making these two dudes have a fake relationship to show how cool she is with the LGBTQIA+ community.
Have you read Red, White, and Royal Blue? This is no Red, White, and Royal Blue. It's got a lot of fun tropes but the two mains are both unlikable and don't really evolve over the course of the book, other than one of them getting a haircut and the other deciding that couch sex is a good stress-reliever. I didn't really vibe with the writing style, and there's not really any "we realized something about ourselves and about love" payoff. It kind of felt like this book was rushed to market, like someone at the publisher said "I just heard a lot of straight women like reading books about two guys making out! I want one of those on my desk tomorrow morning!" There was a scene where they trip and fall into a big tower of cheese together at a farmer's market, which was cute.
Anyway, my friend who recommended this deeply betrayed me, but I still love them.
Also I heard this book started as fanfic, I'd be curious as to what fandom it's from.
Coming soon: three more book bites!

A friend of mine just sent me some of your art tips and I loved them! Since I was a kid I could draw, but it was always a straight up copy of already finished drawings simply for the pure joy of drawing, but now I wanna draw on my own and I'm finding it very difficult! I'm still trying to figure out an artstyle, and I practice things alone (lips, eyes, nose) and they seem to be okay, but when I try to put them together on a face, it doesn't work, like the eyes is not the previous eyes I've been practicing and such. Do I need to practice the face as a whole? Am I doing something wrong?
Awesome, I’m so glad you like ‘em! Ah shit, look what you’ve done, you’ve made me practice anatomy (jkjk this is affectionate!)
In answer, yes absolutely you gotta practice the face as a whole! Don’t worry, most people start from just practicing individual facial features on their own! It’s super easy to tunnel vision! Those studies will also help you going forward, so it’s not time wasted!
A general disclaimer before I keep going: I went to school for animation and never took a proper anatomy class, so these are all tips and tricks I’ve either picked up along the way or figured out on my own. Take them with a grain of salt!
Ok first I think everyone’s seen a diagram of how to measure where facial features sit on the face so I’ll just copy/paste an image to get that out of the way. ***one thing to keep in mind is how the face is divided into thirds:
Tumblr media
**** Important Note: Spend some time studying the skull too! For simplicity’s sake, here are some basic landmark parts of the structure you should be aware of:
Tumblr media
Next, there’s three methods of drawing the head that I frankenstein together:
1) The Loomis Method is I think the easiest to start playing with head/face perspective drawings. Using the above method of dividing the head into thirds, we can put that on this super simple head model and rotate it in 3D.
Tumblr media
Here’s a great video by Stan Prokopenko that goes into more depth on the method!: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAOldLWIDSM
2) For musculature, I like referencing the Reilly Method because the round shapes it uses help me understand how different parts squish into each other.
Tumblr media
3) For painting/rendering ref, I really like using the Asaro Head because it really helps as reference on how lighting breaks up the planes of the face. (I’m still a ways away from publicly posting most paintings I’ve done tho) No demo for this one because painting takes me 84 yrs
EDIT: This isn’t my painting btw
Tumblr media
*** One crucial thing I’d want to point out is that you should also practice drawing heads without painstakingly following measurements and guidelines. 1) everyone’s head/face are different and will have different proportions and 2) you want to get used to drawing without limiting yourself to one method as a crutch! These are all just tools to help you on your journey!
4) As far as simplifying the face goes, the pretty common way I’ve seen/used is to divide the head into two sections: the eyes and brow area, then the area below the cheekbones. This is where the bean face that everyone was mad about in 2015 comes from lololol (we’ve moved on from bean-hate, right? pls?)
Tumblr media
One last note: Most of what I’ve posted on my blog has faces with floaty features, so don’t reference my stuff for your own good LMAO
Hope this helps!

Urgh... I can't even with you.
You had to write another perfectly perfect piece of perfection.
I've just finished reading TSKWTHW, and I (mostly) tried to take a break every now and then: your kind warnings at the end of each chapter were helpful!!
See, as Tumblr won't allow me to copy-past your WHOLE fic to show you which passages I loved the most, here is a short list:
> “I will look for my soulmate for one year,” Derek said. “If I look, honestly try and find them, and I haven’t after one year, if you still haven’t found your own soulmate, we’re going to give this a try. Deal? > URGH. You big dumb wolf boy!!!!!!! ❤
> Like a bunch of awkward ducks who stood around awkwardly being all awkward > Someone should draw this, the scene I'm picturing is hilarious! =D
> The Mummy reference 😍😍😍😍. I agree with Stiles, having "death is only the beginning" tattooed as a soulmark would have been so awesome!!!!! But then Derek is the king of "epic proclamation of death" conversation starter (Drama Wolf much, Der-Bear? 😉)
> Stiles hated Derek’s soulmate. > No self-hate is allowed, you sweet half nature spirit. 🧡💙
> I’m on the night shift tomorrow. > Okay, so when the Sheriff interrupts, I thought to myself, "you should have been on a night or double shift, John", and then I read you and I laughed so hard!!!!!!!!
> Does Peter think we’re actually going to get any work done with your horny ass in the same room as me? > No work done, nope. 😀
But seriously. The whole fic was so nice to read! It's my new favourite!!!
Thank you for writing this. It made me start the new year in a wonderful way. You are a precious one, and I wish you to have a wonderful year!!!
Tumblr media
Hellloooo~ :D 
Thank you so much ;~; I’m really glad you liked it, thank you!!!! I always appreciate all your kind words, they mean a lot to me ;~; 
HAHA I am glad the “stop here” comments were helpful XD I always usually put the main warning at the beginning but someone @’d me once in something where they mentioned putting them at the end of chapters when you (the author) know it’s a good break from the plot, so I tried to do that in this fic. It worked pretty well based on the “FINE! I WILL STOP HERE FOR NOW!” comments I got XD
Some people seem to think I do it because I know my readers well, but truthfully I do it because I know myself extremely well, and I am 100000% the kind of person who’s like “time for bed, let’s open up a fic for some light reading -opens 750k fic that is 1 of 15 from a series-” So like, yes, I know my readers, but only because I am my readers! And I wish other people would tell ME when to stop, but they don’t, so I am as bad as everyone else LOL XD 
LOLOLOL You’re so cute!!! 💕💕💕 Thank you for being excited and liking so much of it! :3 And poor Derek, honestly :( He trusted that Stiles really did a thorough check, and Stiles thought he had, but like... honey, sweetheart, light of my life... it wasn’t thorough enough XD 
The Mummy is one of my top 5 fav movies so had to fit that in somehow ;) And Stiles is such a dummy ;~; Though I loved your whole “no self-hate” comment LOL because yes, Stiles is a dope and was totally hating all over himself like an idiot XD
THIS SHERIFF KNOWS HIS SON IS GONNA HAVE SEX, AND HE IS FINE WITH IT AS LONG AS HE’S NOT AROUND FOR IT! XDXDXDXDXD  
Thank youuuuu so much!!! I’m seriously very glad you liked it, always means a lot to me, thank you!!! 
HAPPY NEW YEAR AND I HOPE IT IS AN AMAAAAAZING~ ONE FOR YOU TOO!!!!! <3<3<3<3<3<3

Files
Yelena Belova x fem!reader
Word Count: 1.1k
Warnings: fighting, violence, guns
Author’s Note: I know in the comics Yelena is ace so I wanted to make this sorta like it could go romantic or friendship, depending on what people saw her as. I hope you enjoy!
Requested: by anon, Could I request a Yelena Belova x Reader where the reader is a medievalist and works at a library in the rare books section. Yelena is on some kind of mission that requires her to get ahold of one of the books under Reader's care and she tries to break in and steal the book, but Reader won't go down without a fight? Kind of a lovers-at-first-fight? Reader then comes to learn why Yelena was trying to steal the book and agrees to help her on the rest of her mission. I'm realizing this sounds a bit like National Treasure lololol. Ty!!!!
Summary: the request
I don’t own these characters. They belong to author/director/creator
(not my gif)
Tumblr media
Yelena saw you from the window. She had her head tilted to the side, eyes narrowing in on the shelves of books under your care. She had been told that only one woman took care of all the important books. That was easy enough. There were no guards outside to watch her in the window, no other people to block her entrance.
Yelena just needed that book. It would help her in her trailing of Hawkeye aka Clint Barton. She could learn his skill before ever meeting him and take him out easily. But you guarded all the information on him, among other things.
You were dusting off a book and putting it into a shelf. Yelena was slightly annoyed they weren’t digitalizing all of this information. She could have hacked in easily and gotten it without all the hassle of a fight. Perhaps that was the whole reason they hadn’t changed it all to a computer. To make it harder to access.
You turned the corner and Yelena opened up the window slowly and silently. At this rate she would likely be able to slip in and out without you noticing at all.
So much for the protective guard.
She was light on her feet as she walked into the stacks, thankful for the cover that they gave. Yelena let out a light shiver. It was much warmer here than it was outside. The temperature was going to dip to the low 20s in the night. She would have to be out by then if she didn’t want to freeze.
Her fingers brushed the spines of the books and files.
Barton. Bingo.
There was a gun click behind her head. Her eyes turned to the side, pausing. She let out a light sigh and ducked her head, kicking the gun out of your hand. You fought back easily, matching her skill level. You weren’t anywhere near a widow but you weren’t all that bad either.
There was a good solid three minutes of grunting and skin bluntly hitting skin. You fell to the ground, Yelena’s gun pointed at you.
“You’re all the protection these files have?” she asked, blowing a loose piece of blonde hair out of her face. You put your hands underneath you, looking up at her.
“No one tries to take these,” you admitted. “They can find similar things online.” “Well I love a good ol 'hassle,” Yelena muttered, a slight accent in her voice. You nodded, sitting up, arms raised. She let you stand. She turned her head and you didn’t make a move. She slid out the Barton file and put it under her arm. “Why are you letting me take this?” “I’m not letting you take it.”
“You are.”
She put her gun down, curiously. You stared at each other for a moment, lips pursed.
“I’m not.”
“Do you have a problem with Mister Barton too?”
“You’re holding a gun on me.”
“Well I was holding a gun on you. I am not anymore. You put up a good fight, you might have even been able to knock me out if you tried hard enough.” You pursed your lips and relaxed a bit. It didn’t look like she was going to throw hands with you right about now.
“I think you can take it even if I tried. I put up my fight.” “I like that. Grit.” She extended her hand. You shook it hesitantly. “So now be honest. Do you have a problem with Clint Barton?” “I don’t know any of the people I keep books or files on. They shoved the files in here with all the important history books.” You gestured to the actual thick books on the shelves. Yelena hadn’t even noticed them, she had been so preoccupied with the files.
“So you don’t even care about these,” she said, waving around the thick folder in the air.
“It’s still my responsibility. It just isn’t what I was hired for.”
“Well they should have hired more help.” She holstered her gun. “You mind if I go through the front door?”
“Yes, actually. Can’t let them know I gave in,” you muttered. She watched you for a moment more and the two of you walked back to the open window. Yelena put her leg over the window sill onto the fire escape. “Are you sure you can’t help me with this?”
Yelena met your eyes.
“I don’t know about the files.”
“But you have access. Come on, aren’t you curious?”
“I’ve read them.”
“So you do know.”
“Only the bare minimum.”
“Help me.” She put her hand out. “Yelena.”
“Y/N.” You shook her hand.
“I can’t leave this place.”
“Then be here when I come back.” You narrowed your eyes and let out a sigh through your parted lips.
“Yelena-”
“You know you want to.” “Okay fine. Fine.” She smiled and waved the file in front of you.
“I’ll see you again soon then.” She slipped out the window and was gone. You couldn’t help but wonder what the hell you had just gotten into.
