I have returned with more TSSM AU art. Sorry about the hiatus, real life has been rather busy these last several months.

I’ve had this concept floating around in my head for a while; here’s my take on a much younger Vulture, aka Adrian Toomes.

I mentioned a while back that I imagined him being a Sphynx Cat in my AU. He still is, but I imagine he had a very thin coat of fur running from his nose to the base of his tail in his youth (some sphynxes still retain a small amount of velvety hair on their bodies, although it varies). Unfortunately, a combination of old age and significant stress caused him to lose all but most of it over the years - only a few sparse patches of peach fuzz remain on his back.

Overall I wanted to try and see what Ol’ Beaky may have looked like in his youth while still staying true to his character. I gave him a slicked-back, businessman sort of hairstyle; I also gave him ginger hair as a nod to the comics (yeah, Adrian was apparently red-haired in his youth, both in the comics and in the 90s animated series).

Anyways, here’s a couple of headcanons I came up with for him, taking inspiration from some of the movie and tv adaptations (including tssm of course).

Unlike many of his fellow villains, Adrian didn’t have a particularly bad or unstable upbringing. He actually had a pretty normal childhood all things considered, and was raised by strict but loving parents.

Hot-tempered, disciplined, straightforward, and determined, Adrian’s turn to villainy was in truth far more gradual than most were led to believe. Decades of stress, frustration, and failure in addition to experiencing workplace corruption first-hand slowly hardened his heart. The bright-eyed young man with big ideas who joined the engineering business in the hopes of revolutionizing the industry was now a cynical, tired, and bitter old man with a short temper and an even shorter patience. The final straw was having his life’s work (years of research, setbacks, failure, and constant work) stolen out from under him by a mega corporation with no hope of recognition or even an ounce of compensation.

Adrian and Otto have been longtime friends, having known each other and worked together since their Tricorp days. Despite his cold exterior, the former cared a great deal for his friend and worried extensively about him during their time at Oscorp. Adrian knew it was only a matter of time until Otto received the same backstabbing treatment as himself, and tried to no avail to convince him to find better employment. However, Otto was simply too afraid of Norman at the time to do so. It came as no surprise to the old bird to find out his good friend had finally snapped…and ironically enough their turn to villainy has strengthened their friendship more than ever. Even through countless failed schemes and prison stays, the pair continue to support and look out for each other.

This is absolutely gorgeous. I love the accuracy to the designs as well as the sheer amount of detail.

TIL that there's an '80s movie where they portrayed Smilodon by sticking actual fake teeth onto actual live lions.

That post that's like "stop writing characters who talk like they're trying to get a good grade in therapy" really blew the door wide open for me about how common it's become for a character's emotional intelligence to not be taken into consideration when writing conflict. I remember the first time I went to therapy I had such a hard time even identifying what I was feeling, let alone had the language to explain it to someone else. Of course there are plenty of people who've never been to therapy a day in their life who are in tune to their emotions. But even they would have some trouble expressing themselves sometimes. You have to take into account there are plenty of people who are uncomfortable expressing themselves and people who think they're not allowed to feel certain ways. It also makes for more interesting conflict to have characters with different levels of understanding.

01: Demeter Chthonia

I sing of Demeter and Kore, wife of Klymenos, raising the honey-voiced hymn in the deep-sounding Aeolian harmony.

Fragment of a hymn by Lasos of Hermione, 6th century BCE.

Pausanias is our most detailed source for the famous cult of Demeter Chthonia (of the Underworld) at the remote town of Hermione in the Argolid. This cult is unusual in its emphasis on the role of Hades (who is given the euphemistic name of Klymenos, the Renowned One). “He reports that the Chthonia festival took place in the summer and began with a procession of all the priests, magistrates, and townspeople, even the children. Dressed in white and crowned with wreaths made from a local summer wildflower, they led a heifer to the sanctuary, where it was allowed to roam about until it entered the open doors of the temple. Inside, four old women rose from their ceremonial thrones and pursued the heifer until one of them cut its throat with a sickle. Three more cows were slaughtered for the goddess in the same way.”

“The indoor sacrifice is very unusual, but can be explained as the result of the strict gender segregation practiced in the cult. The cult statue of Chthonia was so sacred that only the old women were permitted to view it, and the exclusion of men seems to have extended to the sacrificial slaughter, usually a male prerogative.”

“Opposite Chthonia’s sanctuary was that of Klymenos, and the area was famed for its entrance to the underworld, an opening in the earth from which Herakles once emerged, it was said, leading Kerberos.”

Bro I love this concept.

Warrior Cats but Mapleshade regains her sanity after dying and desperately wants to reunite with her kits in StarClan. Unfortunately, too many cats remember her as “evil”, so she’s trapped in the Dark Forest.

Appledusk, on the other hand, is bitter about his death and is very much eager to get some form of revenge on Mapleshade. It’s not enough to mock her from where StarClan and the Dark Forest meets. He needs to make sure she suffers.

“Crookedstar’s Promise” still happens, but Mapleshade was trying to somehow replace her own kits with the troubled young cat she found in the living world. It’s Appledusk who toys with his descendant, convincing him that Mapleshade was causing all of his misery and effectively turning him against her.

Time and time again, Mapleshade tries to find peace by entering the minds of young cats and caring for them when their own kin cannot or will not. Part of her hopes that if these cats remember her as she really is, then maybe she could enter StarClan one day. 

But every time, Appledusk finds out which cats she’s visiting and tells them all about how Mapleshade betrayed her Clan, allowed her kits to drown, and murdered innocent cats. Of course, he never mentions his own wrongdoings. That would defeat the purpose of all his hard work.

Over time, Mapleshade begins to lose hope, and she begins listening more to the Dark Forest cats around her. Maybe if she gave in and joined their ugly mindsets, she’d be able to find some sort of peace. But the thought of giving up on her kits, and letting Appledusk win, is unbearable to her. And so she decides to try one more time.

Hollypaw is more than confused when she dreams of a dreary forest and the fading figure of a tortoiseshell queen.

First post of the year lol.

I’ve been pretty busy lately, hence why I haven’t posted here in a while. Here’re something I drew a couple of months ago that I’ve been meaning to post. I’m also hoping to post more original works of mine on here, so stay tuned for that.

—————————

A lil’ chibi-fied reference for one of my OCs, Lord Balderdash. He’s a Giant, and a very wealthy one at that. He’s a Nobleman (a Lord to be exact), as well as a retired warrior. Despite being a Giant, he’s far from a bumbling brute; rather, he’s incredibly cunning, sophisticated, and regal (and DEFINITELY not someone you wanna mess with.).

I’ll write up more on him later but the basic gist is that he’s more or less my own personal take on The Giant from Jack and the Beanstalk. I thought it would be interesting to do a take on the story where the Giant in question is legitimately smart instead of just a beastly idiot. I find smart monsters to be a whole lot more terrifying than dumb ones, and Balderdash here is no exception. He’s every bit as much of a bad-tempered maneater as the one from the fairytale.

Like the rest of his kind, he lives high atop the clouds and away from human eyes, only ever coming down to hunt or grab materials for tools.

(That’s all I write for now. I’ll add more later. Thoughts and questions are more than welcome.)
