I love your writing style!
(also love how you always go for gn!reader!)
Silly request for another masked reader?
Masked reader who has those more solid material masks that can easily be cleaned has in the past painted their mask during one holiday just for the fun of it and they boys wanna do it too. Variation of it; masked reader got injured and has to stay bed bound for a while so their mask is being written and painted on like people do with casts :D
(there would be so many pictures)
PLEASE THIS IS SO CUTE (also tysm anon!! It means a lot that you like my writing and writing decisions AHHHHH). I'm thinking a white-hockey mask sorta vibe that can look intimidating for missions, but also far too tempting for the 141 to wreak havoc on. Of course, they'll ensure you always have at least one spare blank mask so you can keep being the ominous badass on missions, but when a mission goes south and you escape with barely your life, they do what they can to make your bed-bound recovery as entertaining as possible.
Soap in particular truly treats your mask as a canvas. I already touched that Johnny has a journal of alternative designs for your mask and with a plain mask his mind is racing with so many ideas! He also has a general knack for drawing, in the quiet nights when he's done with training and can visit the med-bay he can spend hours just drawing on your mask with a thin sharpie (think like those highly intricate black-ink tattoos). His art is a little rough and scratchy but the artistry is there. He also provides his signature which lacks the tact of his art - if another member of the 141 hasn't he'll be the one stamping his name across your forehead with an obnoxious "SOAP WAS HERE!!".
Ghost is not an artist. There isn't a single artistic bone in this poor man, when he draws a circle it somehow looks like a square. Instead, Simon writes. A card is too sappy but your mask makes the perfect patch of parchment. His handwriting is legible but far from aesthetic, it's practical and hastily done with your head shaking slightly as he writes on it. Eventually he has to stabilise your head with his other hand, and his hold is surprisingly gentle. It's a general message wishing you get better soon, and a special military pun for everyone to read when they see your mask. He says that now your mask is a little more customised it almost looks half as good as his. While being unable to draw, he does accompany Johnny or Kyle if they pay a visit to vandalise your mask.
Price is straight forward. You want people to sign your mask? He'll sign your mask. John is surprisingly sentimental, he genuinely treats your mask as a get-well-soon card. He encourages you to rest - which is admittedly redundant since you can't get out of bed - but also to hurry up and get back on the field because he's losing his mind putting up with the rest of the 141. His handwriting is small because he has a lot to say, his message taking up the expanse of your cheek. He puts effort into his message and handwriting, it's going to be on your mask for everyone else to read and when he tries the captain has some exceptionally nice cursive. When he's done, he pulls away and lets out a satisfied huff at his message and how it looks on you... and then a consequential sigh when he looks at what of the rest of the task force has done to your poor mask.
Gaz does everything with your mask. He first covers the basics, signing his name and a quick, encouraging message for your health. Then Kyle goes ham on redesigning your mask and making it look as terrible as possible. Because it's a plain white mask, in particular he loves to use coloured sharpies on it. He'll shade panda-like eye bags where your eye sockets will be, or colour the area of your nose with a bright red circle like a clown. If you ever complain he'll just say this is the price you pay for getting injured and being sent to medbay. It's a joke but the underlying concern isn't missed from you. He's not the best artist but he'll leave a cute little doodle like a flower or that "S" sign that's used to graffiti everything known to man. He also enjoys giving you something to do (laying in med-bay all day must be terrible!), taking your hand in his to guide your hand across your face so you can draw a simple little star or love-heart on your own mask.
Surprisingly, it's Simon who initially asks for your permission to take photos of your mask. He says it's for the rest of the task force so they can have a reminder of what they're fighting for as they continue doing operations in your absence. John did add on that it was also simply for the memory as it's expected that you'll keep the mask once you've gotten better - unless you're willing to auction it off in which Kyle already called dibs.
It's only when you can freely move around do you take off your mask to realise that under your chin would be, generally obscured from view, one of them drew a shoddy little penis. You have half the mind of chasing up on who it was but it was simply too funny and you let it go. (Also because you already know deep down it was Soap)

Rainbow art with my OCs. This was a color practice because I have been struggling with color picking. I’m trying to not use multiply and overlay layers, but did on some of them.
Tumblr media
Red is a color I can’t do subtly. If I am working with red, the color needs to be dramatic. If my setting is red, everything must be red. This is Selina.
Tumblr media
Orange is a color I don’t usually work with unless sunsets. It’s a nice shading color and background color. This is Moon.
Tumblr media
Yellow is my favorite color. I use it in a lot of backgrounds when doing more vibrant art. I wanted to sorta stray away from a neon drawing and do more dull stuff. This is Bao.
Tumblr media
Green isn’t a color I work with, and I could’ve done a forest or nature setting, but I wanted to do something different than what I would’ve done. I feel like green is hard to shade with. This is Midnight.
Tumblr media
I use blue a lot, and I wanted it to either be with the sky or the ocean. This is Rea. I need to figure out if I own custody of her.
Tumblr media
I do not like purple. I genuinely do not enjoy it. Unfortunately rainbows need it. I decided to draw Edd, because he is purple.
Tumblr media
Although I hate purple, I enjoy this drawing, please like.

“Hi there, little buddy! It’s been a while since we saw each other last! How are you doin’?” “Oh! Uh...h-hey, Billy, it’s...um...n-nice to see you, too! Ah...s-say, it’s kinda hot in here, don’tcha think?” “Hmmmmm...nope! Feels fine to me. You sure you’re okay, little guy? You look kinda red in the face. Hee hee...sorta cute, actually. Hey! Could you sing to me again, like you did a while back? You have a super awesome voice!” “Um...s-sure, maybe later...could you...not stand so close, by the way?” “Why? My breath’s not THAT bad, is it, Harmonia?” “...I plead the fifth...” ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This art by @twisted-brainrot is a Christmas gift for a friend of mine, @clouddreamer101. (Who, for some reason, I can’t seem to tag properly...oh, well.) They went through something pretty awful just last month, and I wanted to get something that would, at best, help them feel better after such an event...and, if nothing else, would certainly make a nice present for my friend.  Cloud (as I shall refer to them here) is a HUGE fan of my OC, Billy Geant. So much show they’ve actually started shipping him with an OC for TW they made themselves, simply named “Harmonia.” Harmonia is a member of Royal Sword Academy; he’s actually based on the Singing Harp from “Mickey and the Beanstalk,” just as Billy is based on Willie the Giant from the same. (And no, they didn’t make Harmonia for that reason, it was just a happy coincidence. XD ) We’ve headcanoned the two met at a special Beanfest Event where both NRC and RSA competed against each other. Billy was elected to act as a “final boss” for the event, and Harmonia acted as a physical representation of the harp, whom the Farmers had to guide to safety. I’ve thought the relationship between the two to be VERY cute, so I asked Twisted-Brainrot to make some art of Billy and Harmonia together. The above is what they came up with, just in time for Christmas! I absolutely LOVE the lighting/shading in this image, it really makes the characters feel solid and real. And as usual, Billy is as massively adorable (and just plain massive) as ever. Harmonia is pretty darn cute, too. ^^ Thank you so much, TB. And Merry Christmas, Cloud! I hope you and everybody else enjoys! :)

2022 comics reading log
In the early days of last year, I was inspired by some twitter mutuals to post my comics reading in the new year and kept it up from Jan 1 2022 till just about the bitter end. Something about it really helped keep me invigorated by the medium even in some pretty bleak times, so I’m going to keep it going this year, but here at Longboxd instead of on twitter, which I'm trying to spend less time at. Before I can do that though, I want to archive the 2022 entries in a spot that’s more permanent/less twitter-iffic, so here we go—pretty much every comic I read in 2022! (As transcribed from here)
Part 2: 22-38 (of 387)
(I can "only" post 30 images at a time here, so that’ll dictate the length of these catch-up posts)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
22) Silver Star #1 by Jack Kirby & Mike Royer - Kirby’s Blubber? Very Beto vibes—very Lynchian, held together by spit and nonsense.
23) Shattered Earth #1 - The best story in this anthology has a horny dog that gets cucked by a wandering wasteland hippie.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
24) Sun Runners #2
25) Shade, The Changing Man #50
Tumblr media Tumblr media
26) True Lives Of The Fabulous Killjoys: NATIONAL ANTHEM - Narratively, it’s firmly in the "halcyon days of vertigo" mold, and that’s cool, but between Romero and Bellaire this is one of the more stunning art showcases I’ve seen in a while. God-tier coloring, IMO!
Tumblr media
27) The Terminator #1 (1990) - Chris Warner tha gawd with nice chunky inks from Paul Guinan, and a script by DH genre MVP John Arcudi that swings between terse and pleasantly purple. This and the Predator series the year before (also drawn by Warner) set the mold for decades of movie tie-in books.
28 & 29) Blood n’ Guts #1 & 2 - These are very bad comics by a weird, probably bad dude who's weird & not always bad comics I grew up with. Not much to them (this is from one of Blair's big firehose-of-comics periods) other than a *great* logo I assume was made by Dave Cooper.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
30) Alien Worlds #7 - I loved this series as a kid—it's mostly an art showcase (Corben, Morrow, Anderson & Perez in this issue!) but Bruce Jones' short stories are trashy scifi paperback anthology style fun, routinely see-sawing btwn kind of hokey & total bleak nihilism, often on the same page. one story, theoretically concerned w/recreating The Thing inside an implied sketch of a Wally Wood/EC planet setting, mostly actually focuses on infidelity leading to murder (a common Jones trope). In the end everyone dies after the revelation that their parkas are hungry aliens. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
31) Eclipse Monthly #2 by various
32) Sensation Comics #6 - This is the pure, uncut shit.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
33) Head Lopper #15
34) Marvel Team-Up #101 - Robot hippies and Peter Parker favorably compares the trauma of Nighthawk killing his girlfriend in a drunk driving incident to Uncle Ben’s death.
35) The Swamp Thing: Becoming TPB
36) Head Lopper #16
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
37) Skull, The Slayer #1 - Sorta standard Th’unda etc white adventure guy thrown into a prehistoric setting to fight dinosaurs kinda thing, (the twist being that this guy? He’s a real piece of shit!) but Steve Gan does impressive work, and Marv Wolfman’s colors are surprisingly effective.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
38) The Man-Thing #8 - I haven’t read many of these. Pacing is slow if not deliberate, vampy gothic vibes. With Ploog’s squishy art, it kinda reads like a Golden Age Underground.

To be continued! Read Part 1 here

8. What's an old project idea that you've lost interest in
Hmm I've had that happen plenty of times sjjdkdkc but ig the one I'm saddest about dropping was one where I wanted to illustrate a bunch of key scenes and comic-like panels from bloodlines with my ocs 🥲 I had like some of them sketched out and the order in which I was gonna do them planned, but I just sorta. Idk. Dropped it somewhere along the way fjjfjvf it would've been really nice to look back on it today, even if the pieces didn't turn out perfect- maybe I could revisit them, or they could just be an interesting reminder of the ideas I had floating around in my head at the time. Unfortunately they were never finished tho, and I'm not really interested in finishing them anymore hdjdjc 🫠 but there'll be other ideas and other opportunities to finish other projects in the future I'm sure
25. Something your art has been compared to that you were NOT inspired by
I mostly get comparisons to manga, comic books, anime, which are mostly pretty accurate as far as inspirations go djcjkcv there was this one time tho when I was first learning how to shade with digital art, that a guy compared something I posted to PS3 graphics. I was not pleased fkkfkf I'm not sure if he meant it as a compliment or not but it definitely didn't feel like one to me. But who knows, maybe he really liked ps3 games idk. Either way I'm glad my art hasn't been compared to that again since then
26. What's a piece that got a wildly different interpretation from what you intended
Hmm 🤔 the only one I can think of right now is this one
Tumblr media
Which is my inquisitor from dragon age inquisition, but I was surprised bc SO many ppl in the notes kept saying they were certain it was some guy from the owl house when they first saw it nkfkf which ok, fair, I looked him up and they do kinda look similar. But I'd never seen the owl house in my life before so it was just very funny to me

Tell me if I’m sending too many asks, apan ruk jaenge🥲✌🏼
Anyways, what are your views on a arrange married into mafia tale where the husband isn’t a toxic PoS but a really great man who trains his wife in weaponary and martial arts so she can take her revenge on her family who brainwashed/abused her throughout her life, and everyone else who did her wrong?
it sounds like a good story character-arc wise. story wise, well i think we all have had enough mafia stories and sometimes they get saturated a bit too much. but here you mentioned that the husband is actually a nice guy (kinda contradictory to the fact that he is a mafia but intriguing nonetheless) and is helping his wife avenging herself against the abusers, which ngl sounds like a decent plot of a story where every person has some shade of gray.
it all comes down to the writing part ultimately. make sure the characters aren't one dimensional. like- their entire character can be centered around a motive but if it's without some layers, background, dynamics- it might seem off. the prompt might sound sorta cliche but in this world where slow burn fluffy YA stories still work, this definitely has potential.
are you planning on writing this? if yes then, PLEASE SHOW ME THE DRAFT I'D LOVE TO HELP!

follow-up on last post, some (but nowhere near all) key characters.
Reislin Levice: rank of Archmagus, magecraft specialties are Eldritch miasma and illusory self-duplication. petite and relatively bookish, pale red hair. cleans up nicely.
Valerie Istenver: rank of Sorcerer Adept, magecraft specialties are Paleflame, self-reinforcement, and empathic clairvoyance. tallish, well-toned. definitely works out as a hobby. big fan of aviator shades. dyes her hair, but natural brunette.
Olivia Hollovich: rank of Sorcerer Adept, magecraft specialty is a shackled Eldritch shade. borderline insta model. nat blonde. astonishingly shallow personality at first glance, actually not much more depth if engaged in conversation. utterly dependable as a magus despite all that.
Calvin Vickers: Mundane engineer. stumbles upon the Arcane while seeking a compact energy source for superhero antics. surprisingly built for a "nerd." kinda sorta tony stark but 3/4 irish and not so much of a monolithic asshole.
Kagami Oze: Mundane engineer. working with Calvin, ends up with a high-tech prosthetic arm and perception filtering magecraft. kinda stereotypical mousey japanese woman. unapologetically loves cyberpunk/synthwave aesthetic, geeks the fuck out at the prospect of getting a cyber limb.
Steven Brinkless: Mundane paramilitary. graying australian man, fairly hulking due to reconstructive cybernetics and gene therapy as treatment for injuries received from the same Voidfall incident that resulted in former brother-in-arms Clint Derickson being lost in the eldritch.
Clint Derickson: Mundane military officer. MIA on a clandestine Voidfall investigation decades ago, somehow punted right through the Arcane into the Eldritch. severely warped after being lost in the Eldritch for so long, commands revenant soldiers and abyssal ice magecraft.
"Coldemark": disgraced former Archmagus. stripped of his rank after semi-intentionally sabotaging a routine Eldritch power-tapping ritual and most of the others involved were either maimed, killed, or drowned in murk. magecraft specialties are miasmatic life-tap and Eldritch deepflame.
Kirche Brenner, unaffiliated/Eldritch. petite peachy blonde with piercing red eyes. a "snipped off" feeler from an Eldritch entity that wormed its way into a neophyte magus and gained independent cognizance. currently at large, wanted by the magus order for reasons.
the "Hollow King": the Archmagus Arcanist. specialties are abyssal sand magecraft, unique mystic arts based around manipulation of his own mana flow, and a mystic sword forged with the stolen eye of an Eldritch entity. his existence is somewhat disputed among lower ranks of the organization. rumors say he's utterly unremarkable in appearance, but upon actual observation his skin is blue, covered with Eldritch rune tattoos, and pitch-blackness around his eyes. nobody who's seen him can remember this for long, though. spends much of his time wandering the Eldritch, for reasons unknown to even the other Arcanists.

Season 3 Initial Thoughts
- ℂ𝔸𝕄ℙ ℂℝ𝔼𝕋𝔸ℂ𝔼𝕆𝕌𝕊 𝕊ℙ𝕆𝕀𝕃𝔼ℝ𝕊 𝔸ℍ𝔼𝔸𝔻-
Holy shit, this Season was a doozy. I absolutely loved this season. It was a lot more intense than both Season 1 and 2, but had the realism from Season 1 that I loved so much.
Also I was fucking wrong, boys. Well not completely. I did make the prediction that they’ve been on the island for at least 2 months, because for some reason that was a reasonable number in my head. A nice believable number for the kids to have survived and did all they did, but six months!? Like half a year!? They would have been 1.5 years away from getting blown up from the volcano in JW2. Bruh...
Tumblr media
The Scorpius Rex probably had the most terrifying design I had ever seen for a hybrid dinosaur. It felt way more threatening than both the Indominus and Indoraptor, probably because of it’s very odd hodgepodge of a design. I also love the twist of it being extremely unstable and causing other dinosaurs to lash out after being poisoned. Having this thing chase around the kids was definitely terrifying to say the least. Also wasn’t expecting Sammy to get spiked by the poison too (and turn an odd shade of green, sorta narmy lmao). I knew she wasn’t going to die, but I wasn’t expecting a nice squick shot of the quills in her abdomen that was a fun treat.
Tumblr media
Also finally! Kenji, my boy, finally has some character backstory and development! I will probably do a more deeper analysis on Kenji’s drawing of his family, but is already kinda confirmed what kind of person his father is. He didn’t care enough about his son to want to put pictures of him on the wall, only himself. It makes sense why Kenji was so self absorbed as well. I found it pretty heartbreaking that Kenji risked his life to try rescue his father’s “precious” art statue. I’m not sure if he tried to rescue it because he was scared of his father scolding him or if he just wanted to bring it back for his father for a pat on the back. Either way, it’s just brings up sad implications all around. 
Honestly Kenji had some absolutely great development this season, in my opinion, way more so than the others had and way more interesting too. I think the episode that really marked a change in Kenji was Episode 5 (Eye of the Storm), when Kenji took it upon himself to be in charge of packing. For most of the episode, he was acting like typical Kenji, but he began to take his job way more seriously when it came to the safety of his friends. When Darius took after Ben, he properly took charge of the group (nice contrast to Season 1 where he was more nonchalant about it and tried to pass off responsibility). It was around this point that we didn’t see Kenji acting all high and haughty anymore, he was fully devoted to saving his friends.
Tumblr media
I definitely wasn’t expecting Kenji to run off with the laptop to make the trade and save Brooklynn. The boy tried to fight a man with a loaded gun to save his friend, how foolish and brave of him to try do so. It was amazing to see Kenji, who spent most of the series cowering behind others, fully devoting himself to protecting Brooklynn in the finale (leading her to safety and shielding her with his own body). I do think that Kenji has some issues regarding losing friends; I think that the Camp Fam really is the first friends he’s ever gotten, which is why losing them hurt him so much (Sammy’s faux death and Brooklynn getting kidnapped). 
The way at the end when Kenji refused to forgive and accept the idea that they were going to risk Brooklynn’s safety over the laptop...it was a very mature way to handle that situation. Pragmatically, Kenji was absolutely right, they shouldn’t be risking their lives over a stinkin’ laptop. It’s not they’re responsibility, they’re just kids. But his friends were good people and Kenji played along, but decided to take matters into his own hands. His friends are important to him and he’s going to do anything to keep them safe. 
From haughty jock who only seemed to care about himself to a team member willing to risk everything to keep everyone safe, Kenji really has grown so much as a character.
Tumblr media
All in all, I’m surprised the kids actually made it off the island this time. My friends and I were placing bets on whether or not they would make it off the island this season. Everyone had voted that they wouldn’t, but they did...hopefully? They got a stowaway so I’m wondering how they’re going to deal with that. Go back to the island? Keep going? Clearly it all isn’t over because Kenji’s character arc isn’t quite solved yet. I wonder how many more season CC will have. I do enjoy the series, but there’s only so much they can keep right?
This initial thoughts ended up more of a Kenji reaction post, so I’ll dedicate the end here to some other thoughts I had overall:
Yasmina and Sammy’s friend-(or maybe more)-ship was really cute and wholesome. I found Yasmina’s chumminess afterwards Hello-Zuko-Here levels of second hand embarrassment xD (Are they a maybe-couple? When Brooklynn mentioned crushes that Sammy might’ve had she mentioned Yaz lmao).
Thank god, Bumpy didn’t die. She has her own family now...for at least 1.5 more years until the volcano explodes...
Ben, you stupid child, of course you want to get off the island. I would have knocked you out and dragged you on the boat myself.
It was nice of the pilot and mercenary to board the kids upon finding out they were children. Even though they died / ended up splitting up the kids, the meant well.
I can’t believe Dr. Wu was in this season. He isn’t as much as a bad guy as I thought. He still left the kids, but at least he didn’t...kill them? Set the bar too low maybe?
And that’s all for now. This being a chock-full Kenji season, I’ll probably be doing some analysis or posts on him, but thought I’d make a reaction post with all my initial thoughts for now!

What art things Mc can do that would accidentally turn on the brothers?
I sorta like this one, so excuse me~ 👀
This came out fluffier than I imagined 🥲
Things MC Does That Accidentally Turn the Brothers On
———————————————
Lucifer
He’s pretty hard to crack in terms of being turned on, but when it comes to you, he’s easy...
Literally... whenever you simply give him any type of affection, he’s turned on. Touch his body, lay on his shoulder, brush past him, tell him his hair looks nice today
He’s weirdly affection starved, and just can’t get enough of your compliments or your touch
Your leg once touched his when you two were sitting very close to each other, and he felt his cheeks burn a light shade of pink
He has to look away from you quickly, embarrassed from being so easily turned on by something you accidentally did
He’s not afraid to show you how he’s feeling though. Only in private, bear in mind. He’ll touch you back, showing you he wants more of your attention
Just don’t tease him for it, he won’t want your attention anymore and will probably get pretty defensive
Mammon
If you can beat this man in a game of poker, fuck, he’s done for
He finds it such a turn on when you can beat him in a round, or even just if you can play it in general
He loves how competitive you sound as you confidently state your win, giving him a playful wink and a smirk
He has to sit down half the time because his legs get weak
Invites you round to play more just to see that focused look on your face. He doesn’t even care if he loses at this point
It makes him want to kiss you everytime you beat him
He will deny ever staring and gawking at you though, his face flushed with a crimson red blush
Leviathan
Y’know when your shorts ride up your thighs too much, so you have to awkwardly pull them down, yeah, that
That shit drives him wild and he has no clue why
He’ll be hanging with you in his room on the floor when all of a sudden, you’ll get up on your knees and start tugging down your shorts
He’s so flustered by such an insignificant motion; it’s almost embarrassing
He cannot look you in the eyes. His gaze is fixated on your legs and the way your shorts tightly hug your thighs
You’ll catch him eying up your legs, and he immediately turns away, covering his face with his hands
Just let him hold them or something, he’ll be satisfied then
Satan
Literally whenever you read and you have that seriously concentrated look on your face as your eyes skim over the words
It’s so hot to him??
He can’t help but blush and watch the way you elegantly turn the page
It drives him insane because he knows you’re just reading but it turns him on so much
He can’t focus on his own reading anymore, all his attention is on your face and how you give off a small smile and a chuckle whenever you come across an amusing part in the book
Gets up to sit next to you and reads your book with you, giving him the opportunity to admire your face close up
He’s stuttering so hard if you catch him staring, giving excuses after excuses on how he wasn’t looking at you, his face bright red through all of it
Asmodeus
Let’s be honest, everything you do turns him on
You could choke on your food and his mind would be goin at it
But his personal favourite is when you cross your legs. That’s it
It’s such a dominate pose to him, he can’t get enough of it
Comes over and squeezes up next to you and places a hand on your knee, rubbing his face into your neck, enhaling your smell deeply
He can’t help but fantasise about you whenever you do it, and he knows it’s such an insignificant move but whatever gets him off at night ;)
Doesn’t care if you catch him staring, as long as it gets him somewhere with you
Beelzebub
He finds it pretty hot when you’re eating with him, honestly
Like, you’re eating just as much as him. It’s such a turn on and he cannot understand why
Can’t help but watch you eat, a smile plastered on your face as you visibly enjoy all the food you were eating
And if you share some of your food with him; wow, his cheeks has never felt hotter
He’ll take it with this giddy look on his face, his cheeks burning red when he watches your sweet smile widen
Blushes harder when he hears you laugh at how obviously flustered he is, your face beaming in delight
Don’t comment on it though! He’ll have no clue how to respond and will be sat there awkwardly with his beet red face
Belphegor
Ahh. Your sleeping face. The best face you could possibly make to cause Belphie to lose his composure
He loves every part of it. He’ll sit by the bed and stare at you, admiring your face as you sleep peacefully
Can’t get enough of when you stir around in your sleep and subconsciously scrunch up your nose
Sometimes he’ll even find you grabbing his sleeve and holding on to it
His face burns red at the thought of cuddling up to you and wrapping you up in his arms, holding you tightly as you murmur softly
If you wake up and meet his gaze, he’ll do that little awkward cough and smile at you, innocently telling you good morning
He’s just jealous he can’t watch that peacful face of yours all the time

2021 Megaman Summer Fanart Contest Results!
Yet again, I had no time for promo-themed art, so I will just continue rehashing this old Akane pic since it sorta fits the theme. Just to have some visual before the writeup. 
Tumblr media
Thank you as always to every single one of you who participated this summer! I say it all the time, but you all really do make it a challenge judging these pieces year after year, with your creativity and hard work. Trying to be objective about each piece and how they best fit within the requirements gets harder and harder each year! Thank you for your patience in waiting for these results, as this never is a quick process to format and write up, especially around my work schedule. I will be contacting the winners about their prizes soon after this goes live. 
After the break, you’ll see the winners for both categories, along with all of the entries.
Category 1: A Cool Summer DiVE
For our first category this summer, participants were tasked with creating a Rockman X DiVE-inspired summer-themed character(s)/skin of their choice, and a special summer weapon design to go along with them.
There were a grand total of 10 participants in this category. For the full gallery of entries, you can head to this link HERE. Beneath each entrant’s name will also be a link to their individual pieces at full-size.
1.) @firemanshug: $100 prize
[Image 1] [Image 2]
Tumblr media Tumblr media
He is so happy, and he makes me smile! Much like the Sailor Mammoth we got in DiVE this summer, I like the contrast a flame-themed boss gets by having a watery-feel to him. But you incorporated a lot to give Sword Man this summery look, with the bright colors, which feel both like a lemonade and water scheme. You’ve got the sun on his head, cool shades, the flowers reminiscent of a lei, and even if it appears liquidy, it feels like he’s ready to fire up his kabob arm for a luau. So overall, I loved how much you meshed into this design, and made it just feel like a summer skin I want to pull! Your Cold Slush Buster fits wonderfully with the style of other Classic boss busters we’ve seen so far, like Aqua and Air. 
2.) Algaae: $75 prize

Definitely the most detailed and technically sound artwork overall, your style certainly could make some think this was official artwork for swimsuit Levi! The little details to her swimsuit are simple, but nice tweaks to allude to her standard armor, yet still look fashionable and unique. Feel bad for that poor fish if it’s about to be whacked around as a weapon on that staff, but would also be amused if it popped off for it’s own attack, only to bite right back on the orbs after flopping around out of water. XD

As a boss idea, having “Serve” Master K bumping and spiking Bounce Man and all his volleyball parts in a beach volleyball boss room sounds like a ton of chaotic fun! That creative concept alone had me sold, even before seeing their design changes. Your humorous punny bunny additions were a bonus, and certainly made me laugh. The weapon is cute and clever, and I liked how you were able to fit both characterizations of Watt. It would be interesting to see how a “combo” character would play in-game, a little more differently than Tron & Servbots, for example.

Pink flamingo Heatnix is a decoration we all need on our front lawns this summer! Love his chilled, relaxed pose, just nursing that drink while trying to avoid any battle. Wonderful pic, just unfortunately no accompanying weapon design to compete with the other entries.

I really loved this idea, and seeing Heat Man as a cooler is just like the best summer image. This needs to be an official concept. Period. The spray gun having dual pop tabs and the warning to shake first was so amusing. Absolutely appreciated your creativity on this, and had a hard time debating where it would place. So very close!

I swear I had a Super Soaker in this color scheme back in the day, so I did totally love the concept of Vile having to pump his shoulder blaster multiple times to get water to spray out. And if it doesn’t work out, he can help plug Sprite instead with these colors. Thank you for your extra effort with the turnaround vid, which I had to shrink down into a really small .gif just to present it on here. It does look really cool to see his full model that way.

Under the Sea Under the Sea X, it’s better When your corpse is wetter And crushed by my heeeeeee~ls MerSigma...Sigmerman...Ursaligma...regardless what you want to call him, he’s still pretty imposing. (With emphasis on pretty...) Yes, we all have questions, but you have to admit, you want to see this Sigma form running through a stage with his flowing locks and mertail blowing in the wind, with the grace of a school of fishes swimming through the current. Love the pearl theme tying in with his head orb and the Fish Hook Glaive weapon of his. Although now I’m imagining him emerging from Shield Sheldon’s shell like The Birth of Venus or something...XD

Swimsuit Ashe stumbled upon a booty of kabobs, and greedily doesn’t appear like she’s gonna share any of that food. XD Your Bubble Crab Spray Gun would make a lot of sense in-game, and would kinda be fun if you could encase enemies and jump and bounce off that giant bubble, to help reach inaccessible areas.

Thank you for incorporating both categories into your entry! Love seeing this as an actual banner image. Bit’s outfit is amusing on a lot of levels, from his pineapple and novelty dual slurpee cup headwear, Doppler logo trunks, and surfing on his shield better than Blues ever could. Another bubble weapon, buku, which is a simple, but effective way to allude to Cancer Bubble’s powers with your claw buster design..

Lime Margarita X -on the rocks(man)- knows Sigma is drunk on power. So he’s going to splash a hint of lime juice in his eyes, using his Lime Blaster, which will certainly sting a bit. But good luck at the capsule for either of these alcoholic-themed gacha pulls, because I think all you’ll get is salt. I was certainly amused at X getting equipped with a citrusy margarita for the summer, and the colors of this piece really stand out beautifully. The watercolor background is just mesmerizing. 
Category 2: Ride the Big Wave
In our second category this summer, participants were tasked with creating a Megaman-related surfboard design, as well as a scene that put that surfboard into use. 
There was a grand total of 8 participants in this category. For the full gallery of entries, you can head to this gallery HERE. Beneath each entrant’s name will also be a link to their individual pieces at full-size.
1.) NightopianFoxGirl: $100 prize

This surfboard is cute and has a little bit of everything. The ‘80s bright neon net skyline aesthetic certainly helped it stand out, as the Mets do against it. Their progression with unique beach-themed items, seemingly being led by the one with the lifeguard whistle, makes it feel like they’re out to have fun on their own digital summer vacay. Cool, creative, and one I’d definitely love to see on a real board. On top of that, your additional scene had a really nice composition, with the curve of the wave tying in with War Rock curving in to fetch the frisbee, and still capturing two different scenes with Subaru and Tsukasa both walking with their boards and surfing on them. Had a good laugh at Gemini’s shades. Twinning they are not, though. XD Well done overall!
2.) Moogy: $75 prize

Overdrive’s board is something that looks so simple in many respects, yet fits him and symbolizes so much with those simple shapes. A stylized version of the missile that launches in his stage, which you can clearly see blasting off. But being a flightless bird, you can feel that symbolism of Overdrive wanting to fly in the sky, with the wings and arrows pointing upwards to the heavens. But wait! The missile also can double as an overhead view of Overdrive himself. With his long neck and beak at the top, the blast from behind symbolizing his speed, and those red arrows actually being his Sonic Slicer attack! He flies in his own way, unlike that rocket and his bird bot brethren. And that creativity makes this an awesome board! I love his multiple chains and Hawaiian shirt. Your corresponding pics of the board in use are both beautiful and amazing.
3.) @stephodell: $50 prize

Seeing the evolution of your board ideas was really neat, and I do think the merger of those concepts turned out pretty neat! The curve of the shooting star sort of gives Pegasus another flowing mane (or Proto Man’s scarf cosplay), but also works to mimic the flow of the waves...be they radio waves or water waves. The actual Pegasus constellation helps fill in empty space, and overall, it looks very nice! Your accompanying pic is top notch as always, and love seeing Ken in that lifeguard chair scoping out what’s happening in the water. Subaru’s wetsuit works perfectly with Rockman-form trim. Just take the bulky armor pieces off, and it’s just a wetsuit underneath, basically. LOL

Winner of the most creative use of an ironing board! XD You really thought outside the box with this VR approach for Laika. The actual surfboard art balances well with both the EXE and Classic counterparts to the side of his Navi Crest. The colors pop well, and certainly fits Laika’s style. A lot of fun things going on in the background of your accompanying pic. Besides the box for the board, I loved how you tied in Ken and the Big Wave remix into the simulation with those screens/consoles. 
@aw-colorcat​:

The gradient on this board gives off a beautiful sunset vibe reminiscent of that closing cutscene in MM8, along with that triangular green up top to play off of her hair ribbon nicely. The cut of having the main board design on sand to separate it from the main pic was clever, and the effect worked out nicely! Good thing Beat is following Roll on the waves, so he can dive on in and grab her, if she falls off her board!
ColeManX:

Poor Forte. I don’t think those kind of fins make the surfboard more aerodynamic and able to handle the waves better. In fact, that’s probably why you fell off it so awkwardly! The design is certainly amusing and unique to him, though. 
@mosketches​:

Anko and a school of Shrinks definitely fit the theme for a Bubble Man board. The background really gives off that underwater vibe, yet helps the minor bots stand out on it with the help of the white water lines. Very cool. Your accompanying pic is very amusing, from Flash’s eye gag, to Wood Man’s sexy sand curves, to Air Man’s hat. Unfortunately, both Bubble and his board are going to be going back down to see those actual Anko and Shrinks below the depths of that huge wave! XD

Well, you certainly did your research on surfboards, giving me a whole lesson on your final board page! Your effort on that alone certainly stood out. Seeing Totemer as a board amused me the most, closely followed up by the Impact Bro board. But you clearly put a lot of thought and care into each character’s style, while still making them fun. Poor Chill, at least he tried for a good cause. Had a good laugh at them all trying to get out of there with the cash in the end. So much for a fair contest.

Anyway we now own 3 assassins creed games-
-
Tbh this entire time I've been imagining that Henry's brothers forced him to join! Like he was just walking home from college for the week (as he usually stays in his dorm), and when he gets in the house there's alot of. Rather expensive looking items. And are those guns? Is that drugs?! And then while hes noticing all this stuff (and maybe even considering this is the wrong house) he feels a gun to his head and there's his brothers, saying that he has to join them
Oh gosh if the Jekyll brothers have all been in this since Henry was in college. That's like. Alot of his life in fear and in the gang
I imagine specifically the Jekyll brothers are all pretty low on money because they sorta just, ran away and Henry's in college. So while Henry's away Kent and Rapheal end up joining a gang, and ending up pretty high ranked decently fast, like a few months? The two are a very good team. They also believe fully on the templars cause, whatever that is, I wasn't paying much attention
Also! Here's the database entry on them from the game that I'm tired of having to pull up every time XD
"Born to a long family line of seafarers, the Jekyll brothers, Kent and Raphael, follow in their forefathers' footsteps. All sorts of illegal trade are thus welcomed eithin the London ports, right under the government's nose. All imports go through the Jekyll brothers, and quickly find a home on the black market."
Henry is the youngest brother but I dont know by how much. I've decided that since quests have fun lil names that he's called "The Weeping Templar" because it sounds cool :3c
-
Ahhh I'm still working on those drawings of Jekyll in his mask, it's rather hard to find references for all these outfits you know. But here's a lil sneak peak
Tumblr media
I couldn't decide on an outfit so I decided on 🌟every outfit🌟. Henry sorta just throws em on. Not caring what rank or person is supposed to wear what, as he's just trying to get his templar outfit off as soon as possible
Also. All the gang clothes have the opposite problem of Jacob and Evie. All the guys look like they just stumbled half drunk out of bed, and all the gals I Want To Own All The Clothes Of Immediately
Also also. I just checked the time on the canvas to see how long I've been working on it and ack-. I'm pretty sure I must have left ibisPaintX open or something because no way its actually been 18 hours- I'm not even shading these
-
My sister started playing syndicate so Soon. We'll know what Kent is truly supposed to look like. As in game I consider more canon than the database
I'm also having fun thinking it's both. Like after that database picture was made he grew a beard
That's exactly what happened to me and I am so glad you are falling into the pit of AC despair that I fell into as well. You better play Origins sometime, that game is absolutely fucking amazing <3
--
Man... I have such a hard time making up my mind bc at one point, I love the thought of Raphael and Kent falling into bad crowds and forcing Henry down with them (maybe guilt-tripping him by saying that they are all he has bc they are family and shit? And it's thanks to them he managed to get out of their abusive household?) but I also love the thought of like... Raphael and Kent doing it so they can get money so they can actually support Henry through college. And the moment Henry is out of college and maybe learns the truth of how his brothers even got that money they force him to join, or he feels obligated to join because his brothers helped and supported him. I also imagined Henry working at the docks while writing the FK au bc I was projecting so! Man, I wonder how Robert would react if he found out about Henry's family. Or Rachel, for that matter. Like, at one point, she technically can't judge bc of Lucy and the fact that she herself started out as a pick-pocket but at the same time... The Blighters and Templars are so much worse... <3
Oooohohohh now I really want to imagine how the questline for Henry would be. Since he is going to later join the rooks, he wouldn't get murdered with his brothers... Would it be when Greenie tells the Lodgers that there This One Templar that is very much standing out bc they wear a mask that the Twins track him down, or would it be when they try to murder his brothers and find them already dead, their corpses rotting in their offices/somewhere else hidden? Or would it be when they have killed Henry's brothers, realize that they missed the third brother and track him down, only to end up on Dr. Henry Jekyll's doorstep? Bruh, I wish I could mod Syndicate, I would actually have wanted to make this into a playable questline. How would the questline continue to go? Would the twins trust him immediately? Or would Henry be the one to track them down by sending them his templar pendant and the mask, telling them to meet him at X place by Y time like Roth did? sjdfhhAJWHD. Man. I want to know so much more about this sdfsdf
--
Man, are we having different dilemmas rn. I get so much gender envy from the guys' clothes but the outfits of the gals make me think of a mix between willy wonka (not the original one) and flappers. Don't ask why. I just really want a dress shirt that fits and some nice suspenders <3
BUT WANYWAYS. You are so mean. Now I really want to see the finished art aND. I AM SO CURIOUS NOW. SO MANY PIXELS HIDE TEH SECRETS. AHHHH. How and why are you so mean to me jst giving me sneak peaks sdfjhsdjf >:( XD
Your sister better enjoy this game <3 anyways I am very curious to see what the truth is now lol. That's going to be fun for sure XD

So yeah uhm idk what the other two mobs could be but idk how mojang could top this. This is literally the best thing.

Oh boy, i'm still mad the glare didn't win. I just hope they add it in one day anyways.
The art's cute though! it reminds me of the fairly oddprents, even though that wasn't what i was going for. I wanted to add a bit of texture to the shading, sorta emulating the enderman drawing i did earlier in the year.
I also had a companion piece to go with it! This was supposed to be the "ugly" version compared to a cute, fluffy version, but i loved this one way more in comparison.

this was this year? Feels like such a long time ago. 2021 feels like a year and a half, i swear.
This is one of my favorite games, and i can't remember exactly what was going on in my head as a drew this? I think it was a sketch, and i just decided to finish it?
I definitely remember i pushed the purpleyness of it, cause it's my favorite color, and i didn't care about how well it performed, cause it was something i drew for myself. Some people in the tags seemed to like it, so i guess it was a good call.
also, the light souse is the paper, i think? for some reason? It looked good, that's my excuse.

A very spontaneous drawing! This was sometime after my enderman drawing, so i was really wanting to try a more pastel color palete, and stick to that as part of my artstyle.
I feel like i'm not that great at picking colors in general, but i think this still looks nice and soft. I even went for colored lineart, which i rarely ever do. I also went for a mix of semi-soft and cell shading, cause i thought it's help it look extra soft.
Wooper looks a bit too chubby, i think, but he don't look too bad. It's about the vibe, not the details. it's just cute :)

I remembered a silly sketch i did a month-ish ago, which was cuter than i remembered :)

Look man, I dunno? I was inspired by some featured art of worm on a string, and i've been super frickin into mincraft. the sketch was worth finishing, i swear.
I dunno what to say about it. it's very.. simple. If i waited until a month ago, the song would be otherside, but cat's a classic.

Wow i sure did pick one heck of a mob to be my favorite. god, those mothertruckers in game are a nightmare, but the design? the idea? *chefs kiss*
I love this. the colors, the mood, the lighting, it's definitely one of the best things ive ever drawn, i'm so happy with how it came out!
And it very much almost didn't! This took maybe a month or more, and the longest part was lineart. I'd do a little, then stop, and It was so intimidating cause i wanted it to be really good. I worked so hard making sure it was exactly how i wanted it, and i even changed my lineart process entirely because of this drawing.
Coloring was very hard, because i'm not confident with my choice in colors, and i don't think i'm good at shading. I took it slow, making absolutely sure i got the colors balanced, and asked for advice from my family, which i almost never do. My mom suggested the change in the dirt color, in fact! It was either more red or more straight up purple, i can't remember which.
I don't like how the beehive came out, though. i kinda.. you can tell i kinda just hid it and forgot about it. the bees are such a small part of it that i don't think it mattered much.
also?? the tags on this are so nice???? people really liked this??? I just wanted to do a good job but i was expecting to be ignored, what the actual fuck. if i'da known i'da considered colored lineart. probably wouldn't have, cause colored lineart's a pain in the ass, but. I'da thought about it.

A Bloom In Time Ch19 Paintings By Ghosts
(It took me A LONG time to research and find out what all the paintings in Hat Kid's gallory looked like. If I missed any or got any wrong please let me know. All mentioned paintings can me seen in the painting room through the green door in the machine room of the ship.)
Lunch breaks were nice.
She was starving so before anything else she wanted to get somethin' in her stomach. Looking in the lil gal's fridge, there really wasn't too much of anything. It was all pretty empty except for a basket of apples, half a cheese wheel, and what looked like a carton of eggs. Well, she wasn't about to not get something to eat, and down at least three of those apples she had. They weren't as sweet tasting as she remembered the ones her father grew on their farm were, but as if this person was going to start complaining about food at this point of her life. Sure her life was REALLY crazy up to this calm point, all of it sounded like a really bad story, she was going to have to learn a whole knew pecking world different from her old one, and she was going to have to deal with her past. But if there was one thing she needed to do now was take that darn ghost's advice.
"The important thing is that I can't change or fix anything that's already happened alright? I can't send you back. I can't give you anything from your old life......And I can't change what happened to you. But, I can help make the future easier and help you with whatever you need to settle down with alright? But you got to understand that it's NOT just going to be with a snap of my fingers."
He was right. What had happened happened and there's no way she was going back there anyways, so it looks like she'd just have to start where she left off way back when. Hard work. Save up enough pons. And get that flower stand! May not seem like a giant grand idea like some would expect, but that's what she always wanted. A life where she could surround herself by precious beautiful flowers admiring their beauty and scent and give them all to people who enjoyed them as much as she does. Her blue eyes reflected in the gold coloring of the bracelet that was still tight around her wrist, bringing her other hand up to clamp around it to herself. Her business may have never taken off if that one fateful encounter with the handsome and kind prince from the neighboring kingdom hadn't taken such interest in the way she grew her little babies. He never said one bad thing about them. Complimenting on how deep a red her roses are and surprising him when she said they didn't just come in red...She chuckled remembering that silly surprised face of his.
The prince stared at her shocked, brown eyes blinking as she held out the white and red rose bouquet to him. "Wow. You're telling me they really come in more than three colors?"
She nodded  back at him. "Yep! How many colors did you think they came in?"
He figeted fiddling with the soft petals of one white rose nervously. "W-Well. I knew there was a whole bunch of red ones, and I knew there was white ones because my mother always uses then for balls. A-And I saw black roses at my grandmother's burial. May she rest in peace.....Wait." His brown eyes widened as he stared at her. Poppy blinked when he suddenly put his hands on her stand leaning forward a little. "H-HOW MANY COLORS OF ROSES ARE THERE?! I DESPERATELY NEED TO KNOW!!"
After a moment, the red head smiled and gestured to a whole slew of potted roses behind her he didn't seem to notice and his jaw dropped at the sight of them all. "Well, you sure like to learn things, so let me tell ya a thing or two about roses. There's all different breeds of roses, but all of them fall under one of the eleven color catagories ya hear? There's red, white, n black like you're used to seein'. But then there's yellow, blue, pink, purple, orange, and even green!"
His eyes landed to a beautiful batch of emerald green roses Poppy pointed out and his eyes widened more. "Those would be perfect for Vanessa! They match her emerald eyes so perfectly." He smiled and turned to Poppy. "I'd love to have some....But wait." He counted on his fingers. "Red, white, black, yellow, blue, pink, purple, green, orange-....That's only nine. I thought you said there was eleven."
She giggled. "You caught me! You see. Some are different shades of blue or pinks, but they'd still be classified under those colors, but some roses have two colors on them."
"You're KIDDING!"
"Nope!" Turning around. She spotted one of her hanging planters and reached up to pluck one of the ones near the top, carefully minding the thorns and brought it down to him. He stared at it in amazement. IT REALLY DID HAVE TWO COLORS!! It was a yellow rose but the tips of the petals were a dark pink, almost red as Poppy smiled at it. "This is what you call a Bi-Color pattern. Some breeds of roses have two colors like this. They're really popular at birthdays. But...If you want something real purty like." She set the single rose down and looked at him. "I got one more surprise for the history books."
"And what would that be?"
"Rainbow roses." He blinked confused so she held up a hand and bent down to rummage around under her stand. "I wanted to keep these hidden for the time being because I wanted to sell my over stock of other roses first since an unexpected amount bloomed this year. And you know how everyone's gonna be itchin' to buy their loved ones flowers on Cupid's Day. I wanted to sorta save these for special customers." She grabbed a small pot of something and stood up. Holding the pot just enough to be seen by him leaning over the stand and no one else passing by. His. Jaw. DROPPED. THEY WERE RAINBOW!!! Every color save for black and white was on there. All in different places on the petals and some petals being full different colors along with blended petals with two different colors mixed on them. They almost didn't look real. As if someone painted on them blindly with multiple paints. Poppy gazed at them lovingly. "My Great Great Granddaddy Willow 'Tree' Bloomington was able to cross breed all kinds of roses together until he made them. "
"I heard of him before. He used to be the Royal Gardener for the Old Owl King didn't he? They say the gardens were never more beautiful than when he was in charge."
She nodded but frowned. "That's right. That ol' birdbrain wanted my great great granddaddy to never share his masterpiece with anyone else. Wanted them all to himself, but that's like askin' an artist to not show off his art. So when he retired, he stole a few clippings and fled the country. Since then these beautiful little guys have been my family's birthright. We're extremely picky about who gets them...Or at least I am. Papa thinks I should've just stayed on the farm and become a milk maid like Mama." The prince's eyes softened at the small frown on her face but she was quick to smile again for an important customer. "So! Will it just be the one bouquet for ya, Princey? Or were ya'll still interested in those pretty green ones?" She asked as she tucked away the beautiful colorful ones again.
"I..." he glanced over to the emerald green ones then to the giant one he was already holding....And smiled again. "You know I think I will take another lovely arrangement of those too. Equal size."
Poppy smiled. "Coming right up, Your Highness!" In a few moments, she held out a pretty arrangement of green roses the shade of Vanessa's eyes all wrapped up in pretty white paper. "Two extra large bouquets will be eight pons please-" She paused and blinked when the white and red rose bouquet was held out to her and eight tiny green diamonds were dropped to the stand. "Oh. Do you need me to hold that?"
"N-No. T-they're for you."
"Me? Why? I thought you wanted to give Princess Vanessa double flowers."
"Uh.." He quickly gave a nervous smile. "W-W-Well, on Cupid's Day people give their friends and f-family too. It's all about spreading love to those you care about. It doesn't have to mean romanticism at all! Especially because I consider you a close friend!" He grinned wider nervously and wished he could push himself for how weird he must've looked. But Poppy just smiled.
"Well aren't you sweet?" She happily took the roses from him. "Now I can see why so many people like ya! And why Princess Vanessa took a likin' to ya! Such a gentleman to everyone! But are you sure you're not givin' me my own flowers?"
"Hey. I paid for them, so technically they were my flowers to do as I pleased with, and I w-wanted to show my appreciation to my.....f-friend."
"Aw. Ya'll just too kind. If that's the case, then you don't need to pay for mine."
He held up his hand and grabbed the green rose bouquet. "No, no. You did the hard work growing them. I ordered them in the first place. And they're already cut. The least I could do was pay the four pons for them. B-Besides. I don't believe in special treatment."
"Well alright. If ya insist. But here." She looked back down to the yellow n pink rose she had picked to show him and picked it up again, minding the thorns and holding it out to him. "Here! A small token from one friend to another too! On the house!"
He smiled and slowly took it from her. "Well then...Thank you, friend....I-I..Should probably be getting these to Vanessa."
"That's a fair point. Wouldn't want to keep her waiting on Cupid's Day. It's the most romantic day of the year!"
"Heh. Yeah....L-Love."
Sells really did increase after word of the prince buying her flowers went around. That day alone must've been her best Cupid's Day ever cuz right after he left with those green roses a woman came up to her and asked for five purple roses for her parents and sisters followed by others. She sold her normal quote for flowers that day plus lots of extras! She was able to get lots of work providing for small weddings in the town square, parties, and other festive times. All because of one friend's kindness. She felt guilty now that she only got so much business from his reputation but this time she'd have to really work for her dream! And she was totally going to be the best florist anyone's every had in a thousand years! For now she'd just rest a little while and help out with whatever that purple onion jack o lanturn had in mind, and wait to see what he was planning. She wasn't sure what to expect from a giant ghost but she'd be lying if she said she wasn't curious. Poppy made her way back out the kitchen's double doors after dipositing her third apple core into the trashcan in the corner, and the scene in the control room made her smile. The two girls were sitting on pillows a little ways from the television playing with the gold castle, it looked like a game of princess since Bow was making a princess doll scream help from the tower and Hattie was acting out the villain with that golden mafia man. The other old things like the gold pencil and cookie was all in a small random pile a few feet from them both.
"You will never have the princess! She'll be locked away forever and the kingdom of gold will be mine! Muahahaha!!," Hattie said in a fake deep man's voice.
"Oh yeah! Well I, Sir Cat-o-lot, will save her!," Bow threatened back holding out a small black cat plush. They must've heard her giggling when she came down cuz they both looked up at her as she came in and Bow waved at her. "Hi, Poppy! Wanna play?"
"Yeah! You can be the giant who comes and steals the gold up the apple tree in the sky!...Or was it a bush in the sky?"
"I'd love to, Pumpkins. But I still gotta job to do, don't you remember? I'd rather finish it and then relax a lil bit. There anywhere we missed?"
Hattie shook her head. "No. Rumbi already swept everywhere, the painting room was so small and easy. He's still sweeping the engine room."
"What about the mail room?,'' Bow asked pointing to the yellow tunnel entrance poking out from the wall near the engine room door. "It has junk mail all over the place after Mayor Mafia Glasses read through them all."
Mail room huh? Well she didn't know who this Mayor mafia ..glasses?? was, but if it was the last room she needed to clean then she might as well get it all done. Then she could finally relax for the day. Walking over the yellow entrance, the children went back to their little game giggling. Great. This entrance looked small too, she'd probably have to crawl through there as well and drag the broom behind her like last time. Leaning down, she peeked inside....And fell backwards with a yell. Both girls flinched and looked up at her loud yell as Poppy stumbled before landing on her behind at the sight of two yellow glowing eyes and mouth smiling at her from the darkness. A high pitched raspy laugh rang out and two clawed hands reached out to grab the outside of the yellow tunnel, before the darkness pulled himself out smiling and revealing himself to be non other than the famous snatching ghost himself. Poppy's scared and confused face quickly turned to one of anger as she scowled.
"I should have known!"
"AHAHAHAHA!! You should've seen how utterly scared you looked! That's a feeling I never get tired of seeing any day," he rasped out and looked down smiling at her as Poppy stood up and dusted herself off. Giving him a scowl.
"So is THIS one of the pranks I heard about? Y'know for 'the most powerful ghost on this measly planet' that sure wasn't very impressive."
"HEY!" He scowled back and crossed his arms. "There's NOTHING wrong with a classic hide and go boo routine! Works almost a hundred percent of the time! And you're one to talk about not impressive work." He jabbed a claw over at the watching girls. "Playing and walking around when there's work to be done? That's not productive at all."
"We're already finished."
".........WHAT?!" It took him a few moments to register what she said but when he did his head snapped to her so fast she was afraid it was going to float off and faze through the wall. "You couldn't have cleaned an entire ship in one day?!"
"Well, to be fair we aren't all the way done." She pointed behind him with a deadpanned look. " We're waiting for Rumbi. An' I still need to go fix up whatever's up there and I need to hammer a plank of wood back in place upstairs since we found gold buried under it. Now excuse me." Snatcher gave off a confused noise when Poppy just pushed his tail aside and went back to peer back up into the yellow tunnel. She could see a light and some kind of papers floating around everywhere. "Hey! One of yall get me the broom and somethin' to catch a bunch of flying paper." Bow nodded dropping her toys in favor of running off to the kitchen as Poppy turned back to the tunnel and started crawling her way up it towards the light.
"You found what under what?!" Snatcher turned back as Poppy disappeared into the yellow tunnel. "H-HEY! Don't you know it's rude to walk away from your boss when he's talking to you about your contractual obligations!?" When he didn't get an answer he stuck his head in the tunnel entrance. "Yes? No? HELLO!! Why aren't you saying anything?!"
"Y'know, for a dead guy you sure have a loud mouth!," she called back smiling when she heard him sputter.
"WHAT?! The peck I'm not! You're the one ignoring me!" He floated through the walls after her snorting form.
"Maybe so but I think your bark is worse than your bite, Purple Onion! What are you doing here anyways? I thought ya were busy." Her face popped up out of the entrance just in time for it to get smacked by a very old envelope, to which she shook her head and got it off to gawk around. Papers were flying around alright, they were laying all over the place if they were flying about or in a big pile on the other side of the room. In the middle of the room was a desk with two pans on it. One was green and said IN and the other was red and said OUT. There was also a few pole blocker things in front of the desk like the ones around those metal table things she'd been seeing around. A small coffee table stood off to one side of the room with two blue seated cushioned seats, near the entrance was two metal deviders and a giant wooden dresser, and to her far left was a giant basket filled with more old letters, a fan, and a pale carpet stood under the desk. She gazed up hearing a snicker and Snatcher was there probably because of the letter smacking her face. Before giving a grunt when a piece of paper smacked him in the pace making her snort again. "Not so funny yourself Mr. Meany."
He swiped the letter off his face scowling and staring at her. "HEY! I'm not completely heartless you know. Every so often I steal letters from others and deliver them to my minions as if they were getting something. It helps lift their spirits so to speak. And to answer your question." He threw the paper away which fluttered to the ground. "I often come back and check on new employee's progress every few hours or so, this is no different. But I have to say I'm suprised with how reliant you were for this tack."
"Well I did have the two best helpers in the world." She smiled and finally got to stand up in the room looking around with a hum. "This one might be a little tricky, but can't be worse than a room of snow. And I still have to hammer that bourd back. Bow tugged it loose after that gold."
"Where the peck did you all get the gold? Im pretty sure I don't pay you until after the job is done, as I'm not legally obligated to pay for unfinished work."
"From the Roach King."
"The Roach what?!"
"Ask them if ya'll want some answers." She turned hearing some footsteps behind her and smiled seeing Bow in the entrance to the yellow hallway. A broom and dustpan in one hand and a trashbag in the other. "Well, why thank you honeybunch!" She reached over hand out for them and Bow handed them over.
"I couldn't find any nets, so I thought you could use the bag to catch them?"
Poppy smiled standing back up and looking over to the mail floating around and sighed. "Actually I think we'll be needing a lot more bags if we want to clear all this mess out." She pointed towards the giant pile of letters along the wall. "That spinny thing there is propellin' these here letters up and then they're blown all 'round the room makin' a mess. We'll have to just get rid of all this junk."
Bow scratched her head. "How? I don't think they'll all fit in the trashcan."
Poppy smiled and looked up towards Snatcher who after staring a couple seconds back to her finally got a sense of what she was thinking. "HEY! Just a pecking second here! You're not pawning them off on me!"
"I'm not. You can just take 'em and give them all to those precious lil helpers of yours can't ya?"
"Well...Yes. But who are you to decide what I DO with my time?"
"Oh c'mon. it'll be so sweet of ya." Her big blue eyes shined at him as she smiled up towards him. "Won't ya just help a gal out with this just once? You're other uh...'employees' would really get a hoot from it too-"
"OH ALRIGHT!!" He turned his head away. Anymore staring at her smile and he'd start feeling mushy which he hated. "But I expect YOU to get them all ready to go for me! Since Im not legally obligated to help with cleaning."
Poppy eagerly agreed and sent Bow back to grab more bags from her as she got to work picking up a few of the letters scattered about on the floor at her feet. Snatcher having nothing else to do at the moment decided to leave the mail room and fazed through the wall back into the control room in time to see Bow slam open the kitchen doors and run in. At the sight of her ghostly BFF, Hattie sprung up and bounded up to him. Chattering about how much of a good helper she had been and how she was STILL a better helper cu technically she was still cleaning....Well really Rumbi was the one sweeping away at the engine room but she put him there in the first place. And then when his yellow eyes looked over at all the random gold objects laying in a pile, he pointed a claw and asked about it. Her face lit up even more and she went on a long spree about how she found these mysterious notes in her room and then Poppy found a whole bunch more while cleaning and then they followed them up all the way to the attic. And then Hattie went on to tell him about how Bow busted open a plank of wood from the side of the staircase in the attic and it turns out there was gold in it! Speaking of Bow, she had burst back out of the kitchen sometime during her ramble and dragged a good number of black trash bags behind her disappearing into the yellow entrance most likely going to delivery them to Poppy. In the mean time Hattie told him all about how this roach stole her gold potion and turned all this stuff and the gold potion itself into gold. Holding up the objects one by one up to him. The cookie, the gear, the potion, and her most proud posession the gold castle which she beamed with happiness eager to show it off to him. If he was anyone else he would've called her reaction cute, but all it got was a small half smile from the ghost before the hatted child had the brilliant idea he should come and see the notes for himself. Eh...Why the peck not right? He had literally nothing else better to do while waiting on the cleaning duo up there, and he was sure Minion Number 47 could run the place for a little while longer in his absence. She WAS head of the manor staff when she was alive so she'd have no trouble giving orders to lots of people on a tight scheduale. He saw the notes alright, and this mysterious Roach King they were all talking about. The gold roach statue sat ontop of the papers he apparently left out for them to follow and Snatcher couldn't help but read through them all not that the child seemed to mind at all. She left in the middle of him reading through them, saying something about needing to check up on Rumbi but he didn't care. He was honestly surprised at the letters addressed to the girls, having such kind words to say about them both, but they weren't wrong either. In fact they were very accurate to their positive nature, but if he could add a few things it'd be childish, sassy, and a whole bunch of other things to describe them then just having a gold heart. As they were much more than a gold heart, but hey. The guy turned himself into gold. What was he supposed to expect from him? Placing the notes and gold statue of the roach wearing a crown, he decided it was about time he headed back and see what was up. Imagine his slight surprise when he popped his head through a wall and saw what looked like a large round black ball stuck in the entrance to the slide. Which gave way a moment later and tumbled to the floor revealing itself to be a full trashbag and Hattie tumbling after it landing on her stomach with a thud. The hatted child pushed her self up pushing the comically large hat off her face and scowling at the bag. Snatcher could only watch in amuzement as she rolled it over towards four other full trashbags near the control panel.
"Sheesh, Kid. That's a lot of mail," he commented.
"There's three more bags," Hattie groaned before hanging her arms and stomping her way way towards the slide entrance as yet another bag was having a hard time exiting. Most likely by Bow shove it. "Cleaning is so BORING! Why do I gotta do it?"
"You're not the only one, Kid. And by the sound of things, you've never would've found that gold if you didn't clean up," He pointed out just as Bow popped her head out as the bag shot out.
"Yeah. But now we found it and now it's boring!," she whined back heading to the slide.
"Aren't that robot and Poppy the ones who've done most of the work?"
"WE HELPED!!"
"Then you should have no problem helping her with one last teensy tiny room." He glanced at Bow running back with a smile on her face. "By the looks of things you're practically done already."
Hattie groaned but followed Bow back up the slide towards the mail room, followed by Snatcher who fazed through the wall after them. "Anyone ever tell you, you work too hard for you're own good," he asked popping his head just above the slide exit.
Poppy chuckled wiping down the desk before looking over her shoulder at him. "Lots of times. But I aim to please, and I learnt a long time ago that hard work comes good rewards." She watched the two girls dragging the last two bags away and smiled. The mail room didn't have to be that clean to be honest. There was barely even any dirt on the ground. A quick sweep, bag the useless mail, wipe down these tables, and she even dumped those blocker rod things in the empty giant basket over there outta the way. "The place is mighty fine looking without paper smackin' your face. I didn't know aliens had a mail room...Well to be honest I didn't know they could have a painting room or anything else either."
Something about that sentence made Snatcher freeze for a moment and stare at her. " You...saw the paintings?"
"Well....No. But Hattie told me she already had the place swept so it's already taken care of ain't it?"
"Would you like to see it?," he asked a small feeling of excitement bubbling from his chest.
"I would  but I have the attic to fix don't I-" She jumped when Snatcher grabbed her arm and pulled her forward.
"That can wait! You're taking your once a day fifthteen minute break and coming with me. What's the point of living here if you don't see the entire complex?,'' he said with an almost cheery voice and looked down to the small girls pushing the last of the junk down the slide slowly. "Get good Kids! We have some real work to see!"
At one point, Hattie fed up with everything took a few steps back, before tackling the bags and Bow along with them. They all unstuck pretty quickly tumbling down into the control room with the kids landing all in one giant heap on the ground. Well ....That certainly did the trick didn't it? Snatcher seemed to be please as he tugged Poppy along and only stopped when she yanked her hand out of his grasp. He froze as she gave him a stern look for a couple seconds, before willingly going down the slide entrance herself. Oh if only he could punch himself for that. Poppy emerged a moment later in the control room and glanced up at Snatcher with narrowed eyes.
"I understand you're excited, but trying to yank me through a wall isn't an option. I would've bashed my head into that wall there!" Those yellow eyes glanced to the wall for a moment seeming to register what she was getting at. Oh. Right. Walls and humans don't really mix all too well huh? "Now don't you go doin' that again."
"Uh....Sure."
.....She gave a small smile again. "There. That wasn't too hard was it? Now whatcha going on about paintings for?"
"The painting room?" Hattie struggled out of the small pile her and Bow were in with protests from Bow but managed to squeeze out of there and up towards her dusting herself off and up to them. "I can show you! It's right by the engine room through the green do-"
"Whoa! Hey! That's MY thunder you're stealing kid!" A giant purple claw gently grabbed Hattie around the waist and pulled her back as the giant ghost leaned down to give her a look. "You have you're fun and now it's my shot. Don't be a rude little lady." Hattie gave a small pout and huff but didn't say anything else much to his delight as he put her down and patted the top of her hat before turning back to Poppy. "Well that seals that deal! Why don't we just go see those paintings?" he pointed towards the engine room door. "Trust me when I say this is the best part of the breaking experience."
"I reckon I don't have a say so to your looney persistance don't I?," she asked smiling at him but slowly followed behind none the less.
"NOPE!!"
A feeling of excitement welled up in him again as he smiled and shot through the wall faster than a bullet in one dark purple blur. Making her blink and shake her head. Well....She really ought to see the entirety of this ship then shouldn't she? One last room wasn't gonna hurt her. Leaving the girls to bicker over whatever little girls bickered over she followed right after the ghost through the tunnels. A moment later she saw himself sticking out of the walls of grinding gears above a green doorway and gestured for her to follow as he ducked back into the wall. And of course, she followed, side stepping Rumbi who was still sweeping around, wanting to see what he was so excited over. The hallway there was a little darker than the others but there was enough light for her to see that it also was littered with excellent gear designs but this time it was a very dark green. These aliens must be very rich to afford a weaver to make such excellent carpets. When the door opened on the other side oh boy she was in for another surprise.
"There you are!," Snatcher called from the ceiling below with a smile. That ghostly hair n fluff of his hanging down towards the floor as he grinned. "Took you long enough! Get in here and see what you've been missing!''
She did so and was thankful the room despite being small was big enough for her to stand in, it had red flooring and a green plain carpet running it's length. At one corner of the small room she saw yet another metal table thing with these 'relics' as Hattie had called them. This one was a UFO mobile and under it attached by strings were three cows that looked the same but were different. One wore glasses and a tin foil hat, one wore just green sunglasses, and the other one didn't wear anything and looked totally normal. But it wasn't that that caught the attention of the red head. PAINTINGS!! There were paintings of different sizes, lengths, and styles that she had never seen before. She gawked at the meer sight of them all looking at each wall slowly taking it all in. At the very back wall was the fist thing she saw when she crawled in and her eyes lazer pointed on the largest of the six paintings that were on it. Why..It was Hattie herself! She looked might sweet standing in a field holding her umbrella open, her yellow cap and hair blowing in the breeze. If she hadn't known better she thought the painting would've giggled at her funny expression. Next to that one was a city shrouded by night, the only lights coming from the windows on the tail buildings and the cresent moon painted under it. The one directly under it was a bit strange. It was the face of a gold tribal man on a grey background and he wore pure black glasses. How odd. The other three were realitively small compared to those three. One being a close up of a plant's green leaves, a baby crow leaning against a wall next to toy blocks, and a pretty forest landscape. She could see a few trees and mountains in the distance of it. Turning her head to the right, Poppy noticed the right wall had only five. The tiny rectangle one in the top corner of the right wall was a burly looking man riding on top of a ...giant slab of meat? Below that was a picture of Hattie's face. Well, four pictures of Hattie all looking alike but with different color pastels. The entire square painting was divided into four smaller squares and each one had a Hattie of a different color tone. How strange. Then there was a giant portrait of a man with a mustache and beard. He wore a red suit that looked quite expensive. And next to that was two others, one was a black background with nothing but red thorny vines painted on it, and the other was a bit more stranges. It was divided into three background colors (red, green, and yellow) and had a bubble with different items in each. One was a heart, another a giant green diamond, and what looked to be a small king's crown.
"What do you think of work?," Snatcher asked proudly crossing his arms and looking pleased with himself.
Poppy leaned to the right wall and gently laid her hand on the frame of the red suited man in wide eyed wonder....before turning to him. "YOU painted all of these?" she asked gawking at him.
His smile widened more smug if that was possible. "Yep. And those." He pointed to the left wall wear there was five giant paintings behind the space cow mobile. He then pointed behind her. "And the ones right behind you."
Poppy looked behind her and took a few steps back from the doorway she had crawled in from to look at the six painting hanging above the doorway. Two were big. One was of two burly men who looked exactly alike and they looked to be farming folk like her parents were, the other one was of the famous Snatcher himself, with some king of background she didn't recognize. Maybe a bridge? He was in the middle holding his face in what looked like a very shocked expression. The others weren't grand scale but interesting anyways. Three of them were again Hattie but one looked more like a sketch that had her with double arms and legs. How bizarre. The one of Hattie next to it was her from her shoulders up but wearing a strange mask. It was green and red with black polka dots. The one of Hattie above those two was a much more normal one. It was of Hattie sitting down with her hands in her lap and behind her was a BEAUTIFUL background of mountains, a wide lake, and forest. The last one in the corner was another strange one. It was the man in the red suit again sitting on a throne, and a whole bunch of the burly men who looked a like bowing to him as if he was a king.
"These are...A-AMAZING!!"
She looked over to the last wall which had the biggest paintings on it. The strangest one was also the biggest. What looked like some desert landscape with a single dead tree and melting hour glasses all over it. Above that was another one of you guessed it, Hattie. In outerspace wearing an astronaut suit and connected to her spaceship. She looked so cartoony and adorable! A red boat sailing alone on a stormy sea, she could almost smell the sea air. One of the smaller large ones was just a beige background and just Hattie umbrella painted on it. And the the very last one was an abstract orange portrait of some man wearing sunglasses and a flower shirt. Snatcher however was looking VERY pleased at all the praise he was getting stroking his already huge ego as the smiling red read looked back to him with a wide smile.
"I can't believe you painted all of these!"
"Well you better, Red. Because I'm taking full credit for what you see." He 'polished' his claws against his neck fluff and examined them. "I don't usually do it, but sometimes if I'm bored and don't have a new supply of books to read I'll start on one and work on it a bit at a time. One of my lesser known talents." He then pointed at the room around him. "Couldn't really have these in the forest. Too many ways they could be damaged, so here was more ideal."
"I can see why." She turned her gaze around the room again before giggling and giving him an almost smug look. "Ya'll must really adore that little girl. There's six paintins' with her sweet lil face on 'em. But strangely I see none with the other one."
He paused for a moment looking at her...before coughing and looking away embarrased. "Well. Yes. I'm proud of them. In a way.....But we learnt the hard way the kiddo was allergic to paint and she wasn't too fond of the idea of her being painted."
Poppy guessed he was referring to Bow and hummed. "Poor thing. I can understand how that feels. But still." Her smile became all the more loving to him. "You have acceptional talent for this king of stuff. I reckon now I can say I was abducted by aliens and saw paintings by ghost. Hehe!"
He felt a warm feeling bubble up at the giggle but he cleared his throat and looked away again crossing his arms. "A-Alright! W-Well I think your legal fifthteen minute break is over, Red. Didn't you have something else to do today?"
"OH RIGHT!! The attic. I wonder if that girl has a hammer and nails?"
"Pretty sure she does since she literally has everything around her-......" He stopped midway through his rant and stared at her. Or more acturrately the bottom of her dress with all the rips and hole in it and pointed it out to her. "What the peck happened to you?"
She blinked and looked down to where he was pointing. "Oh. This? I think I got it all ripped up crashlandin' through those trees."
"You look like a homeless maid wearing that." He grunt and rolled his eyes. "Guess I'll have to fix that too."
Her red brow rose in surprise. "You sew too?"
"Of course I can! I made the kids all those clothes and my minions their highly durable bodies." His hand proudly pointed to himself. "I happen to be a powerful being with unlimited hidden talents." ..........Poppy's face suddenly turned into one of amuzement and she snorted again hand shooting to her mouth while the other went to her gut to try and hide the laughter. Which Snatcher flabbergasterdly got angry at. "WHAT'S WITH THAT LAUGHING!? WHAT?! YOU DON'T THINK MEN CAN SEW!? THAT'S LOW COMING FROM YOU!!" She snorted again sounding like a pig doubling over a bit and smiling wider behind her hand making Snatcher give a small growl. "HEY!! DON'T LAUGH AT ME YOU DOTTED FACE!! IM THE SNATCHER!! KING OF SUBCON AND TAKER OF SOULS!!"
She snorted again and in a strained voice said. "Oh yes. *Wheeze* T-The great and horrible monster ghost. Daddy of aliens, Painter of...HMHM! HAHA!! D-Daughters. And tailor of dresses."
Snatcher let out the biggest flustered peacock sqawk she'd ever heard and she lost it. Doubling over onto her knees, both hands gripping her sides as she leaned over and laughed hard, snorting a few times. Snatcher's cheeks lit up with a bright yellow flush and his fluff floofed out of embarrassment as he just kinda sputtered and stared at the laughing woman on the floor at a loss for words. Eventually forcing something out.
"OH YEAH!! W-WELL YOU LOOK LIKE A POOR MAID!! JUST-.....GO CHANGE OUTTA THAT RUINED DRESS BY THE TIME I LEAVE IF YOU WANT IT FIXED!! A-AND GO FIX THAT STUPID ATTIC AS PUNISHMENT!!"
He dissappeared back up into the ceiling leaving the wheezing and laughing woman hugging her sides through her laughing fit. Coughing when she couldn't get enough air. Oh boy. Was he gonna be sour for a while.

✎desc; how I would rate haikyuu character's drawing.
✎team[s]; fukurodani, inarizaki
✎genre; crack
✎language[s]; english
✎chef note; okay, first off, I'm not a professional drawer but I can still rate drawings. This idea just came to me like a minute ago and I had to do it now, so enjoy :)
Tumblr media
fukurodani.
Bokuto
Aight, I see that we started off greatly.
In all honesty, he have no idea how to draw,
And of course his drawing would look,,,, quite terrible i'm so sorry bokuto lovers
He's that kid in art class where's when the teacher already told them what to draw,
Bokuto sat there on his chair, staring at the canvas
Like, what is he suppose to do? Draw?
Well, yeah technically but what???
I can totally see him frustratingly erase the sketch if it can be called as a sketch
And then proceed to try to copy other people's work
Keyword; try
It's bad but at least he had an effort to finish it
4/10, there I said it
Akaashi
His drawings are not that professional but it's pretty
Have you ever seen a drawing that you wanted to stare at it for hours until you're satisfied?
That what's his drawing are like
Not typically an art kid so he's fine when student's from his art class asked him to draw for them
And is feeling pretty neutral with his talent (he actually won't call it a talent but more like a hobby or sum)
And just say 'thanks' if peoples compliments his drawing
Let say his drawing is, a good 8/10
A decent drawer in conclusion :)
Konoha
Not a bad drawer but he rather keep it basic
Konoha's prolly too lazy to draw something over the top so he's just gonna draw flower or something ksndnzkj
Sometimes sleep during art class and had to ask what they had to draw
Proceeds to decently draws a scenery
He's totally not the creative kid so whenever the teach tell them to draw something, he'll always go with basket of fruits, like,
Man, I appreciated the drawing but at least put some effort on thinking what to draw
The art teacher also kept telling him that he have raw talent and should enhance the skill more,
But that never happened, no
"Sorry ma'am, I'll just stick to volleyball, thank you,"
One part of the art room has a section of konoha's basket of fruits drawings but in different mediums
Rating is 7/10
Washio
IS actually an art kid and you cannot convince me otherwise
Has a small sketchbook with him and he'll always doodle when he's bored or in a middle of a lecture (while taking notes of course)
His main skill in drawing tho is painting
The colors blends in so well with one another and he's good at picking color palettes
Also, he doesn't really get that annoyed if some kids from his class ask him to teach them how to draw
Or even look through his sketchbook
He'll just nod and hand it to them without a second thought
Ajsjdhsijsi Washio get so blushy when someone compliments his drawing,,,,
I’ll give a 10/10 :), congrats
Sarukui
The best that he can do is doodles of owls and other shits but other than that, he cannot do
But the doodles are kinda cute doe ngl
He’ll have his moment where he’s in class and have no idea what to do, and just doodles a bunch of stuff
Once he draw his whole teammate including his coach and himself, he thought to himself,
“Huh, this looks good,”
And then take a picture of it for memories (cause he might throw the book he’s doodling in away)
Speaking of that, he doesn’t have an official book for drawing and just draws in his english or math’s textbook or sum
His juniors eyes are blessed when they got his textbook
Sarukui just vibes in during art class, draws and that’s pretty much it
The drawings,,,,,eh,,,, not that good, he only specialize in doodling as I said
so in conclusion,
drawing? 2/10
doodling? I’ll give a solid 5/10, good job
Komi
I’m gonna say this and I’m prolly gonna say it again
He hates art class
Like, even with him trying his best to draw, it’ll always gonna look strange than what he planned
mf cannot draw a straight line in art class
This dood can draw a nice straight line in any other class whether it’s for a graph or others,
And then proceed to shakily draw a straight line during art session
Totally not an art kid and will never be one
His drawings,,,,
I’m so sorry but it looks so bad
It’ll prolly look a lot better if he put more effort, but it’ll still look bad no matter what
Komi hates art class and can’t draw even a decent doodle so unfortunately, I’ll have to rate it 0/10, sorry :(
Anahori
His drawings are eh
It’s not good but also not bad?
Sometimes you’ll just stare at his drawing for a good minute and be like, what did he just draw just now?
What I’m saying is that his drawing’s are unexplainable
Maybe if you stare at it a little bit longer then it’ll make sense and you can see the beauty in it
But honestly I can’t really see anything, not in a bad way, but like, literally nothing
You’ll be staring at his canvas as the mario kart rainbow road music started playing inside your head
But Anahori is always proud of his drawings no manner what
So, I’ll rate confusion/10
Onaga
Just like Komi, he sorta hates art class too
But lemme tell ya, his sketches are GODLY, like, have you seen those pinterest hand sketches?
That’s what his sketch would look like
It’s so yummy to look at what
But he sucks at lineart so JAHGSDSHD
Onaga cannot properly hold the black pen and do the lineart, it’ll always turn wonky and he had to throw it away
Like, if he spend even hours tryna outline it all, and then erase it
It’ll look so trash
And he’ll just stare at it for a couple of minutes before crumpling the paper
He’ll also suck at coloring
Mans cannot understand how the color blend in together
And I think I’ll rate,,,,,6/10 just cause he suck at coloring and lineart lmao don’t worry i suck at coloring too
Kaori
Another decent drawer and her drawings are almost the same as Akaashi’s
But instead of it looking pretty, it looks cute
I have a headcanon that Kaori have a journal and does journaling so that’s prolly the reason why her drawings are cute af
But honestly, her drawings sometimes depends on her mood,
If she’s mad or frustrated, her drawing would look kinda rough and not that cute anymore
If she’s feeling happy tho, It’ll look so nice and cuddly does that even make any sense
Isn’t necessarily an art kid but would love to try be one
And she totally have drawing sessions with Washio aaaaaa,
Just imagine both of them sketching in the same sketchbook while talking about the volleyball club or anything else
She’s getting an 9/10 just cause her sketchs looks clean <33
Yukie
She doesn’t draw at all
Like, you’ll never see her drawing at any kind of time so you have no idea what it looks like
Yukie would still attend art class,
But never draws
She said that she’s pretty lazy to draw it and said to draw it at her home later
But no one even saw that drawing after that
Yukie doesn’t show her drawings nor EVEN draw for once
So I technically can’t rate :/
inarizaki.
Ginjima
LISTEN
The only reason why I started with Gin is because he have some amazing drawing skills
He admit that he’s not an art kid but draws godly as if he had been thought since he was a kid,
Well, actually yes
I think Ginjima actually wanted to be a drawer when he was still a little kid way before he started his 3rd year of middle school
So he practiced a few and became a nice drawer since then,
But he kinda quit being a drawer and decided to go with volleyball
And guess what?
His drawing talent is still there
He totally specialize in pencil drawing cause that’s the first thing he started learning
The lines are smooth and the shading are so yummy what is wrong with me
The Miya twins and Suna are so sh00ked when he saw his drawing during art class
ngl he’s pretty smug about it too but doesn’t brag about it
I’ll give this boy 12/10, mwuaah
Suna
I hate this man for this sole reason
Suna is too LAZY to draw so he doesn’t give any effort in his drawing
I can guarantee myself that I’ll get an eye strain when I saw his drawing
And...
*wipes away tears*
He draws too many dick
–2/10
Don’t come for my head Suna lovers
Atsumu
OMFG
OKAY, OKAY, I KNOW THAT ATSUMU MIGHT PUT ON SOME EFFORT IN HIS DRAWINGS,
BUT WHY IS IT STILL SO BAD?????
He’ll prolly think his drawing would look good but no, it’s not
No matter on what perspective you look his drawings at, It’ll still look bad
AND HE DOESN’T EVEN NOTICE IT
Osamu laughs a lot at his drawing and they started fighting for that only reason smh
Atsumu, I appreciate your effort so SO much,
But please, just stick to volleyball
–10+/10
I put a plus there because of his effort and because of pity
Osamu
He draws in ms paint, with a mouse
But he can draw some foods tho
But all of it looks wonky af
1/10
Akagi
A pretty decent drawer
Akagi always draw happy and cute drawings so you’ll also get happy when you saw his drawings
Puts on a big smile when people compliments his drawing and shyly scratches the back of his neck
“Nah, this just look normal!”
But he draws oddly thick lines sometimes
Sometimes it looks good in some drawing
And sometimes it looks, bizzare in others...
But I think his drawing would look nice <3
Overall, I’ll give a,,, 7.5/10, keep up the good work
Oomimi
He’s from class 7 AND I really think that he’ll be good at drawing
Well, he can draw a few things but he struggles drawing other things he never accustomed to
But!
Oomimi is that kid who’s good at drawing scenery
He knows basic color palettes and which is cold and hot colors
So the scenery drawing would always look good
He get a lot of compliments for the drawing (50% of it from Akagi)
I think he doesn’t have that many time to relax and draw freely but when he does have it, it’ll just be small and simple doodles
um, let’s go with 8/10 <3
Aran
I truly believe that Aran can draw peoples face but in a pretty decent amount
He’s also good with anatomy teach me your ways king
But as much as he’s good at that, he kinda sucks at drawing any kind of background drawings
Mans can’t draw a scenery I’m telling you
As if the background doesn’t even exist in his mind lolol I’m sorry Aran lovers, I didn’t mean that in a bad way
Mainly uses copic markers to color and color pencils to shade
The first time he use the copic marker, he got really frustrated that the marker stain the other pages lmao
And he never uses digital drawing applications or softwares
Aran just doesn’t
I think I’ll rate him, 8.5/10
Kita
Okay, I know that Kita’s a top student and never fails in anything
But he’s not typically a good drawer that much
His drawing still got good marks but when you look at it, it just looks normal
I just know that the Kita lovers gonna get me after this
It’s not that bad and not that good, just a nice balance in between
I personally think Kita’s not that godly in drawing but rather a neutral drawer
He draw what he can and does shading and coloring when it’s needed
The colors are all basic colors, no pastel, no neon
And the shadings are pretty basic
Just a normal drawer here
Ya’ll gonna fight me for this but I’ll give Kita’s point,
7/10

My Thoughts on Joker #2
Tumblr media
I don’t know how James Tyvion does it, but this issue is just as good, possibly even better, than the last! I absolutely love everything about this issue! I need more! ❤️💚💜
- Remember how I said I love Bane. Well, technically, I have him back! Alright, that’s not true. The beginning of the issue introduced a new female character being experimented on with Venom. Her name is Vengeance, and I’m very interested to see who she really is and what she will do!
Tumblr media
- The bulk of this issue is a conversation between Jim Gordon, Batman, and Barbara. The beginning portion is this awesome back and forth about Jim wanting some favors from Batman if he is really is going after the Joker. Hearing Batman say he trusts Jim to do the job more than anyone else says a lot about their relationship. Low key, Jim asking for Batman’s phone number is a sweet and funny at the same time, I love it.
Tumblr media
-I don’t even need to write down my thoughts for this next part. It’s nice to know that Jim knew about Barbara and Batgirl all along, but it’s what this sets up that has got my heart going 100 mph.
Tumblr media
- I’m going to be honest, I feel bad for all the Joker stand who buy this expecting a lot of Joker only to get a few pages that are mainly exposition. All you really need to know is that bc he gassed/blew up Arkham Asylum and killed a bunch of people he has to lay low. We’ll see what becomes of that next issue, considering the cover art.
Tumblr media
- It’s so hard to put into words why I love this part of the book. I think apart of it is because I know I could never be this open to my parents, so it’s cathartic in a way to see a father and daughter who have gone through so much trauma and pain be this open and honest with each other.
Tumblr media
-Another part of it is because it’s just so wholesome seeing two characters talk about how they really feel. Jim being honest about killing Joker, if given the chance, just has so much weight considering he’s know as the guy that does everything by the book. The promise Jim makes with Barbara + the relationship he has with her and Batman is going to lead to very interesting struggles down the road.
Tumblr media
- Jim losing 3 phones is info I don’t know what to do with. That’s just straight up cute. Plus the thing with Barbara and hot chocolate, these two have one of the most emotional and interesting relationships I’ve ever read. James Tyvion is a mad genius and I’m not ready for when he breaks my heart.
Tumblr media
- The ending is pretty interesting and enticing. It’s three single page teases about what’s to come. Well most likely learn about the family the most next issue. I’m most interested in learning more about Vengeance and the deal with those prison guards in Bane masks. (If it’s like some sorta cult that worships Bane, I will literally do everything thing in my power to make an OC that is apart of this cult. Mark my words!) I know most people will be most excited about Cressida and the Court of Owls, but it personally doesn’t do much for me because I haven’t read much about them. Because I’m also reading Suicide Squad, I’d be interested to know if Talon will play any role in this book.
Tumblr media
The art and colors continues to be amazing! They really enhance every aspect of the story! One of my favorite details is Jim’s glasses, and whether their shaded or not. It’s like their a character on their own.
More posts soon! Stay tuned!
