I was thinking about Wayward Sisters and mentally sifting through the motifs for each main girl.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Alex was vampire-oriented, the symbolic siren that lured innocents to their deaths. Wannabe prom queen.
Claire's got the whole wannabe hero vibe but is weirdly prone to going to lone wolf.
Patience is undoubtedly paired with The Drama of the Gifted Child, a burnt-out prodigy melting down. Perfectionist.
And Kaia? Well. Kaia's not the girl on the milk carton.
But something hit me.
Claire, for all her dressings of tough, Dean-type, Barbie-girl? She's got the Jimmy Novak disease; she wants to be important. She wants to serve big causes and do big hero stuff.
Kaia, on the other hand? At her core, she's got the Dean disease. That awful, awful, niggling, "I don't matter." That's maybe why she and Jack get so Sympatico with each other so quickly and stay on good terms, even after he accidentally crash-landed her in the bad place. (Jack's got the exact same disease.)
That emotional interiority is buried deep, but it's definitely there, and it's another way that Claire veers in a surprising Casward direction.

Various HH characters x Artist reader
Prize 4/5 for @coldestcoconut
This post contains: Charlie, Vaggie, Alastor, Angel Dust, Husk, Sir Pentious, and Nifty
Notes: Reader is GN
CWs: None
Tumblr media
CHARLIE
Its canon that Charlie herself is an artist, she makes her own presentations and everything! Shes very open to sharing her supplies with you, though a lot of the colors she has are very bright and saturated. You might inspire her to have an artsy based exercise in the hotel, you... may get a few groans and looks from some of the other hotel residents.. whoops.. gushes and goes insane whenever you make something for her or really show her anything, she can go on for hours and hours about how lovely your work looks! Woukd put it on the fridge/hj
VAGGIE
Not at all an artist, and she doesnt... exactly know techniques and terms. She is proud of you and shes trying her best to show that, but... her compliments seem to fall a little flat when praising you thanks to her voice as well as her just not knowing terms. A lot of the time its comments like "oh, this looks good," whereas other characters can say WHY it's good. Though is that really that important when seeking validation? Keeps all the art you give her in a folder somewhere, neat and away from harm
ANGEL
It should be a given that hes going to ask if you can draw something... rather inappropriate. Were you really surprised? He might likely also ask you to draw fat nuggets, he even offers to pay you. Keeps some of your doodles pinned up on his vanity mirror on his room. Hes an artist, just not in the way you are. He has an appreciation for your work even if it's a different genre! It doesnt matter what your skill level is, hes going to be a little interested. He offers to pose for you if you need a quick reference, he can offer something interesting thanks to his flexibility! Free of charge, too!
ALASTOR
Similar to Angel, hes an artist just in a different way! Angel is a dancer and an actor, and Alastor uses radio as his medium! Hes.. interested enough in your work, though he can be a little more.. critical in his criticisms (but only if you ask for it, hes not rude!). He doesnt intent to fully stamp out your excitement, hes simply trying to get you to reach your fullest potential as an artist. It is balanced out by elements he enjoys in your art. Watches you like a hawk when you work. Dont try to be sneaky and try to draw him, he already knows what you're doing.. but he might just allow it, it's not like you're using a camera
HUSK
Hes indifferent, at least.. mostly.. he listens when you talk about your hobby and he makes sure you know hes paying attention. But you can tell that hes not sure how to keep the conversation going thanks to him just... not being into art. Sure he can tell when something has talent and had work put into it, but hes not the type to sit down and really dissect a piece. Though... his appreciation for art does grow thanks to you. Keeps the doodles you slide to him while he's working the bar- gets a little pissed at himself if part of the papers get wet from the condensation from the drinks
SIR PENTIOUS
NIFTY
She draws! As a hobby and when shes not warring with the bugs in the hotel! Sometimes the two of you sit and draw together- though Niftys more.. scribbling on the papers. Shes just excited is all! Don't ask where she got the red paint from. Hoardes the art you give her, very possessive of the drawings. Probably attempts to stab someone if they get too close to her stash
Hes a bit artistic himself, being an inventor and all! He draws his own blueprints and as well as his own designs. It may not be the same as the things you may create, but it's still a bonding point between the two of you. He let's you use his fancy pens and stuff, just please return them! Will praise you to heaven and back whenever you show him something, he knows some art terms and you can bet hes going to be using them to really push his praise! If you ever draw him anything hes going to keep it, likely framing it as well!

So-called motorcylists love to shove their beloved bikes away whenever there's a little bit of snow on the road. That's because motorcyclists are famously concerned with their public perception. They don't want to drive around town with wood screws run through their tires, shrieking profanities at stopped traffic before ripping a perfect 12 'o' clocker and driving across the iced-over multi-use-pathway, comfortable in their knowledge that the police will not and can not follow. Or it's because they don't have heated grips, and their handsies get cold.
Heated steering wheels are the single greatest innovation in cars in the last two hundred years. Unfortunately for me, they hadn't been installed into cars of the age I own. In the late 1970s, the newest innovation in steering wheel comfort was "maybe make them a little smaller, for the ladies." Seems like I was cursed to a lifetime of wondering if my thermostat was seized, freezing to death even through many layers of mittens and work gloves while waiting for the tow truck to arrive and clean up the commuters in front of me.
Of course, Plymouth also didn't equip this car with a lot of other modern features. For instance, liquid-cooled active speed laser and radar jamming was not available. Active pursuit drones pre-programmed with a seek-and-destroy order for all speed cameras were not yet on the market, unless you worked for the CIA. And also the good people of China had not figured out how to make $35 45-millimetre ball-bearing turbochargers capable of adding nearly four hundred horsepower to any engine strong enough to keep its guts on the inside when presented with one medium-sized jet engine's worth of boost. I had to add all those things myself.
Easy, right? Run some wires to a heating element on the steering wheel. There's just one complication: steering wheels turn. If I keep spinning the car left and right, eventually the wire will get tangled up and rip itself out, causing an electrical fire. Admittedly, that will also keep my hands warm, but the walk home after is inconvenient.
The original "engineers" who took a whisky-soaked gander at this car before slapping their secretaries on the ass had a solution, though. In every steering wheel, the horn button has the same problem. Unfortunately for me, the horn hasn't worked in this car since 1983, which complicated my attempts to reuse the wiring.
Ultimately, I came up with what a rocket scientist would call "a compromise." A pair of bolt cutters and a map to the local truck-supply warehouse's storage yard soon provided me with a nifty diesel-fired interior heater, a roaring flame that consumes all and produces enough heat to make toast from three feet away. Ratchet-strapped to the place where the passenger seat used to be, it will keep my fingers warm, as well as my feet and every other part of my body. Sure, it's inconvenient having to continually refill it with stolen farm diesel, and I could have run the exhaust pipe out of the cabin a better way than through the rust hole in the floor. Once you get that heated seat feeling, though, you simply can't go back. If you'll excuse me, I need to get going: if I don't get to work in the next five minutes, my boots will melt again.

My thoughts on Hazbin Hotel Episode 6:
-Adam is still annoying as shit with his rapid, forcefully crude and try hard dialogue. The best way to fix his character is to kill him off the second he debuts in the very first episode he appears in
-Accurate or not, Saint Peter's design is just ugly
-Heaven is just Hell, but recolored. Even includes zero cultural differences
-Cherri Bomb is also annoying as shit for the same reasons Adam was
-I hope you watched the likely now non-canon pilot (Because of the different plot elements like Lilith now not being around in the show) because this is Cherri's debut in this show and the show treats it like she and Pen were enemies the whole show
-Rape joke while also having Angel Dust poorly standing up to his abuser and rapist, yep, a true Danganronpa Ultra Despair Girls-like moment
-Skipped the songs because they make me cringe
-How the fuck does no one in Heaven not know the conditions to enter it?! How?! How?!
-Most of the population of Heaven doesn't know about Heaven's extermination... This is questionable at best
-The only bad thing that happens to Val is his fur (or moths scales) getting ripped off by Nifty, really anti-climatic
-So there are kid sinners... This raises tons of questions
-"Weee R hooting ennozent peeepal1111!!!" ....I already gave my thoughts on this line on a previous critical post, so here's another reaction image for that:
Tumblr media
Closing thoughts: Yep, I'll stop watching the series after this, my brain just can't take all this stupidity and annoyance.
The one good thing about the episode:
Tumblr media
The backgrounds characters, as always, were better designed then the assault on the eyes that are most of the main characters. Plus they don't talk, so they aren't annoying.
Tumblr media
Oh and the designs of the two seraphim were pretty gorgeous, I don't care for them as characters, but they are pretty.

Had A Nifty Thing Come to Me
I had a new fanfic come to me a couple days ago and I was wondering if any of you might find it interesting to read. It will be a series, and I have no idea how many chapters it will have as it is still in its beginning phase. I am also not quite sure where the story will go.
The Traveler
You're from a specific dimension, Solaris Eclipse. It was a dimension of magic. When your kind, the Eldrathiren, turned fifteen, your unique power would awaken within you. Most times, it was something small, levitation, teleportation, creation, elemental manipulation, and things like that. Once in a while, a fifteen-year-old would just disappear, and those were called Travelers. None of them had ever returned. Your parents had told you stories about them, and you hoped that wouldn't happen to you.
A/N: So, that's the general idea of it. Lemme know what you think and if you'd be interested. "You" will find your way to the Winchesters dimension, although you'll have to go through some stuff first, of course. I'd love to get you all involved, if you're up for it. Leave a comment with a dimension description and a scenario you'd like to see "you" go through. You can give as much or as little detail as you'd like. I love hearing from all my readers. It encourages me to write more. I am still working on Stockroom Antics and will eventually make it back to Dimensional Shift (that one needs so much editing). If you'd like to be tagged, let me know, and I'll make sure you're tagged on the masterlist for the series as well as each chapter. I'd also love to add whoever's suggestion it is for a particular chapter. If you'd rather I didn't, let me know, and I'll keep your name out of the post for that chapter.
Please don't steal my work. Thank you.

Submission messagefor Merlin and Arthur: merthur (merlin and Arthur from the BBC show merlin
Submission message for Steve and Bucky: Does Stucky count? Steve and Bucky from Captain America
Additional propaganda: I refuse to shut up about this. Merlin is not queerbait!! At no point during the show is there a genuine possibility of Arthur and Merlin to be in a romantic relationship. They are queer coded but they do not create a false impression of their relationship. See Sherlock for good example: they constantly bring it up in the show itself and dangle it in front of the viewers, only to not follow through. The show Merlin does not set them up. There are no offhanded remarks, comments, or jokes that they’re more than friends. There is simply no chance in the show that they will get together. They are queer coded, which is not the same. Coding says: this character displays some traits and characteristics that ___ people may relate to. Baiting says: oh you want these two together? hmm, you wanna see that? wouldn’t that be nifty? what if they talk about it and act like it? aren’t you gonna keep watching to find out if they really do? Then follows up with: SIKE! Wow we got you, of course they’re not together! All of that was meaningless! Let’s please stop confusing these two entirely separate concepts!
Merthur is just gay I don’t have to explain merthur on the merthur site. They’re talking to each other at night and giving each other flowers and shit— things Arthur NEVER does with his canon romantic love interest and if I’m not mistaken I think Arthur like goes to sleep for a hundred years and Merlin is like. Still waiting for him? Let them kiss, damn!
Stucky: "Of course, this is still a rollicking adventure tale and no adventure is complete without a love story.....the longest, most tortured one in Marvel history" - Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely (writers of Captain America movies + Avengers Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame)
"from the meet cute to the tragic separation, their bond has all the elements of a classic romance." - Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely
"Just as Jeph and Tim’’s earlier Daredevil: Yellow, Spider-Man: Blue, and Hulk: Gray all dealt with the major love interests in, the heroes’ lives, so too does Captain America: White. Steve and Bucky are each other’s soulmate." - Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely
“So you have a character in Captain America who is searching for the only thing that he has left from his past that has any meaning to him, and that’s Bucky; and people have interpreted that relationship all kinds of ways and it’s great...we will never define it, as filmmakers, explicitly." - The Russos (Captain America: Civil War press)
"You mean, aside from Cap and Bucky?" - Anthony Russo (co-director of Cap 2 and 3 and Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame) when asked about romance in Captain Amierca: Civil War
"Moderator: But you already had a romantic B story with Cap and Bucky, right?
Anthony: We sure do
Joe: We still do
Moderator: Did you ever had to dial down the sexual tension on set?
Joe: Why would we?" - Anthony and Joe Russo (directors of Cap 2 and 3 and Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame) at a screening of Captain America: Civil War
Tumblr media
Just a few examples directly from Marvel and the writers and directors.
merthur totally should win for so many reasons but mostly. most because the show writer, when advertising the last episode, said it was “a love story between two men” and then arthur just died in merlin’s arms for 42 minutes. on the day before christmas.
I put the first episode of Merlin, because I heard it was such a great show. I knew nothing about the ship at that point. I only put it on because i love shows like that. Before the first episode was over I was like OMG those two are gayer than later seasons Destiel. There is no way it was not intentional. NONE. Big time homoerotic vibes. It was great
I get the coding critique, but I think I disagree with the person who said they never teased a relationship with Merthur. If we’re talking “offhanded jokes that they’re more than friends” (or that other characters thought they were together a la Sherlock), I think the poetry and pants scenes fit that.

Discussion question, if the Hotel Crew(Charlie Vaggie Angel etc) had pokemon what pokemon do you think they'd have?
Alrighty! So I really like Pokémon so I’m super hyped for this discussion!
So when it comes to Pokémon it’s more like Pokémon you encounter along the way so I can’t really speak too much on Pokémon they’d have on a journey, so I’ll be sticking with partner Pokémon
Please keep in mind these are just my opinions. I’ll also be formatting it and putting it in my Masterlist
Characters: Hotel Residents
Type: Discussion (Hotel Residents main partner pokemon)
Let’s start off with Charlie!
Charlie really gives Shaymin vibes! Between the two different forms and the fact this a generally happy Pokémon that cleans pollution I feel the two would be a good fit. They’d both want to help he’ll become a better place
Vaggie I can see having a dustox to fit her moth aesthetic, though I suppose she’s not a moth is she? No I feel as if a dustox will also match her personal journey, starting as a wurmple when she was an exorcist. A simple case of book not matching it’s cover
As for Angel aesthetic would match up with a lopunny but also because Lopunny tend to be hyper sexualized, but still a pretty decent pokemon to have around! (I had a lopunny on my team in diamond so I might be biased)
Husk would have a meowth or a persian for sure. He grew up in a casino when he was alive so i think that would translate into a pokemon for the gambler. Meowth and persian are both pokemon who are associated with riches and gambling. Not to mention, husk is also a cat. I think that they'd be a pretty decent match.
Alastor is initially a little more tricky in my opinion. At first i thought oh he'd have a rotom since he’s the radio demon, but no, he's not that technologically advance of a character. Instead i went a little more with a different element of his character and paired him with a Bannette
Nifty would definitely have a pokemon who enjoys cleanliness, like a Swablu. They like to clean stuff with the tufts of feathers on their body. I feel like one with the right personality would be a pretty good partner pokemon for niffty.
For Sir Pentious, part of me wants to stick him with an Eggsecute but I feel like he’d have a set of them regardless. So instead I’m giving him Helioptile. It matches his aesthetic to a degree and I can absolutely see him having them help with his machines too

✦ commissions are reopening !!! ✦ tomorrow (oct. 6th) at 5pm BRT (UTC -3:00)! :D
some more stuff about this upcoming batch under the cut!!
AAAA finally getting these open again :')
there have been a couple updates to commissions, including in some of the prices. the rules still are the same as last time though c: and the process itself also has not changed either!
but!! backgrounds for the illustrations are officially available now too!! :D backgrounds that require shading and lighting but are otherwise just backdrops are an extra $5, and then scene-like environments with more detail and background elements, or in which character interacts with their surroundings, or backgrounds that require depth and perspective, are $10 to $15 extra depending on complexity! we can always discuss these and see what works for any given order tho, as usual c:
simple gradients or textures or patterns all remain free, and icons, doodles, and (especially) experimentals may get nifty backgrounds entirely on the house too! :D
and!!! i'm also going to be offering $5 USD doodle commissions too!! you can read more about 'em and the examples more closely over [here]!! they work a bit different than regular commissions in that they have a 30min time limit (and their own queue list, too, so that they don't take slots from the regular orders) :3c
Tumblr media
:D !!!
this batch also has a smaller number of slots between active and queue ones, so as to get through workload faster and more efficiently and hopefully open another batch sooner c':
and, well, if the queue slots get claimed within a week, i'm alright with increasing then just a bit, but i reckon 15 should work out well!
i'm still finishing up a couple of the previous orders too, but i'm organizing things so that neither those orders nor any new ones will interfere with each other, so, no worries there!! ;v;
but yes, i'll be posting this again tomorrow once everything's ready to go :3c thank you again to everyone who stuck around during the long impromptu hiatus, and all the folks who sent messages, and for all the orders in the last batch!!! i'm trying to pace posting all the previous commissions, but i hope to add them all to the gallery soon :3ccc
and yeah, thank you for stopping by as well!!! let me know if you have any questions, or thoughts and feedback or suggestions (on the website too, always open to feedback on it! i ran through the entire thing fixing up everything that needed it, desktop and mobile, so please do let me know if you have any issues with the place there c: )

I always wonder about the time-line in mafia au with Bo and Jack
I know in aphrodesia they have cellphones but what about the mafia au?
What year do you think it is?
I think the year itself is meant to be ambiguous for Aprhodesia, as well as the other series by SnaccPop Studios. That's likely why we don't get exact ages for the male leads in their bios, and only Jack is given a birth year due to the year of his death playing an important part of the story.
I'll admit I don't know a lot about the lore of Aphrodesia yet, but I do know it definitely takes place in an alternate version of Earth. There's a lot of fantastical and sci-fi elements, including robots and angels becoming crime bosses in the city of St. Valen's. I don't think it's meant to really reflect our Earth's timeline, but instead be its own thing based off aesthetics, kind of like fantasy worlds tend to be based off of medieval aesthetics.
In that spirit, I don't bother trying to give the Mafia AU an actual year. This is an alternate Earth, with alternate events that mean the timeline as we know it on our world no longer really applies.
I mean, the clothing that Bo and Jack wear in the original piece of art Sauce made that started this AU is pretty timeless, in my opinion.
Tumblr media
Isn't it so nifty? Full credit to Sauce as always for their stunning art and being cool with me using them in my rambles. In the spirit of supporting them and the rest of the team who makes such awesome visuals and ideas for us to play with, why not consider joining the SnaccPop Studios patreon? There's a whole bunch of artwork there that you can only see by joining.
Remember, don't share anything privately posted on the patreon. Doing that only hurts the team. Instead, just encourage others to sign up as well, or just spread word about these fun games and audio dramas they're making.
Anyway, this picture, as I recall, was inspired by this comic drawn by Rain over on twitter. As you can see, it's a different sort of crossover, but it has the same vibe of the Mafia AU.
Sauce then did something of a genre swap with their characters. Here we have Jack and Bo as a crime boss and wise guy respectively in an Aphrodesia-esque setting. This picture's sister image was Jambee wearing a kids-show appropriate thief costume, complete with a black and white striped shirt and domino mask, as if he was an antagonist character to the SunnyTime Crew.
While this AU is a crossover between Something's Wrong with Sunny Day Jack, DachaBo, and Aphrodesia, I don't worry too much about sticking close to whatever timeline any of the three actually have, or their original continuities. This crossover is about being inspired by some stylish art and letting whatever urge feels fun to me when it comes to pulpy mafia crime drama indulgence, with a nice splash of sci-fi and fantasy elements thrown on top.
As such, the timeline itself isn't all that set in stone yet. Even the original ramble's timeline of events when it comes to Alice's influence on the world isn't completely solid, as expanding the King family's lore changed some things in this follow up post. This universe, as well as its timeline, is very much a work in progress.
Also it's an excuse to have Jack be touch starved and need to have very intimate (and especially spicy) contact with his sunshine as often as possible.
In essence, the year is modern day, only modern day in this world isn't the same as our world. We have cell phones, computers, and the internet, but also some classy retro-style aesthetics for clubs and the like. Or at least that's how it is in my version of this AU. Others might take it a different way.
On that note, why don't I give a shout out to some of my fellow artists who have also played with this particular crossover?
Glassy Shards over on twitter has a really cool take on this AU, giving Bo this creepy "glitch" ability that allows him to no clip through realities. Her take on Bo is pretty creepy and intense, as you can see in this delightful art here and here.
Fun fact: it was actually Glassy's audio dramas that made me inclined to have Bo be more promiscuous, violent, and rebellious in my version of the Mafia AU. The audio dramas are really well done, which makes sense considering she was Bo's original VA. I suggest giving them a listen here, here, and here if you want to hear Bo be a very scary alpha on the hunt.
Lilith Rose on twitter made a fun comic, which really pops in her colorful and distinct art style. It's just another day in the city of St. Valens with some goons getting pummeled, and Bo falling for his puppy. Check it out here, here, here, here, here, and here. Oh, and a cute piece of art that isn't part of the comic, but Bo in suspenders and Lilith in a dancer outfit are just so cute.
CheriiHoney on twitter and here on tumblr also has an adorable comic for this crossover. Jack is lovestruck, and Bo is just dumbstruck. There's also this very delightfully spicy follow up picture of Jack being so yandere for his sunshine and Bo is still annoyed by his boss, hahaha.
I'm sure there's plenty more takes on this crossover out there. If you have any favorites I missed, feel free to tell me in a reblog. Also, consider checking out these awesome artists and leaving a kind word or two. It was Cherii's birthday yesterday, so you could also consider giving her a belated happy birthday as well.
One thing that always tickles me about this AU is how much we've inspired one another when adding to it. It's almost like a community project. Rain inspired Sauce who inspired so many others. We're paying it forward artistically, which is why I wanted to shout out so many of my fellow artists in this post who have given me so much inspiration. You're all awesome. Keep on creating. 💖
@channydraws @earthgirlaesthetic @sai-of-the-7-stars @cheriihoney @illary-kore @okamiliqueur @kurokrisps

Self Aware Genshin AU Speedrunner Version
Ok I know we talk a lot abt the player being isekai’d to genshin impact in the self aware genshin au and the various consequences that happens but imagine a pro/speedrunner player.
Can u just imagine the insanity? The traveller not understanding why they are bring dragged to all the statues and waypoints all across the land until they get started on the quests and they go “oh” because teleporting is real nifty. Then having to collect so much stuff and then finishing some quests LITERALLY as its being requested (basically those that ask to help collect certain items lmao).
Other characters being dragged into the party just so the player can use them for elemental combinations that just utterly wreck the enemies and they are all left astounded. The immediate upgrade of their abilities and weapons making them go holy sheet dafaq Im insanely strong now???(Which fuels the rumors of a divine god guiding and blessing certain people with their presence to become outrageously strong)
The traveller already been to Liyue but internally laughing along with the player when other characters in Monstadt tells them to head to Liyue to explore.
The traveller being self aware waayyy early because the crazy but useful shit their player has dragged them to. They are resigned but find the player’s antics hilarious and also awe-inspiring since they get dragged into their shit the most as the main player character lol.
Other characters that can be used as vessels being either straight-up worshippers (childe like cmon lmao), worried and confused (diluc, zhongli), or just happily going along with everything (the children, kaeya, venti) or a mix of the above-mentioned. Is it funny I imagine Childe being all like PLS LET ME BE YOUR VESSELLL because he knows becoming one will let him be incredibly strong?
Usually we have the player going along with the game as per normal so why not this dumb shit. Then player gets isekai’d into the world and just has an insane amt of knowledge on certain things (recipes, all the good loot, how to best utilise elemental combinations to annihilate the enemies, best builds for each character) but also have lack of knowledge of others because the game interface simplifies things (cooking, storyline details since speedrunner means skim and skip most of the dialogues oof, Teyvat cultures and norms cus in game they could do whatever they want and not be questioned except now they are IN the world so uhhhh they cant just do random shit without the npcs judging, SURVIVALIST STUFF)

FFXIV LFRP; Miyako Akane
Tumblr media
Full name: Miyako Akane
Race: Auspice/Yokai
Gender: Genderfluid? Nonbinary? Really, it's whatever they feel like at the moment. Her pronouns depend on the skin she's in at the time: she/they, or he/they. Typically prefers her female presenting form unless her masculine form is more preferable to those she's interacting with.
Sexuality: All of it. Anything.
Marital Status: Single! She's not settling down, she's always on the prowl.
Age: Several centuries old
Profession: She doesn't have one! Though technically they may read your cards or offer a boon...for a price, and she rarely accepts actual currency
Hobbies: Pranking mortals. Preying on mortals. Seducing mortals, people watching... and generally just about anything to do with the forest, or nature.
Hair: Dark orange/white accents
Eyes: Amber
Distinguishing Marks: Typically veiled as a Miqo'te, there is little distinguishing about her person to those unable to see through the magic she uses - although on occasion, one might spot a fluffier tail than she actually seems to have, out of the corner of their eye. To those able to see through this magic... she's quite a bit different than her feline glamour would suggest to the average person. In their feminine presenting forms, she always has red tattoo-markings around her eyes.
Tumblr media
RP Hooks
She's still as-yet un-roleplayed, so there's a lot of potential - and there's less impetus for me to want longer storylines on her, so if you just want a few one-off scenes to have your cards read or the like, those are easier on her than on my other characters, though I'm always a sucker for a long plot/storyline that's steeped in character growth! Never be afraid to approach me if you have an idea!
Maybe you want your cards read! I have several tarot decks IRL, and an oracle deck that's well-suited to her too, and I could no doubt use the practice, myself. She essentially makes fey bargains - deals with weird prices that aren't always clear at first.
She may be centuries old, but she was barely over a century when she was imprisoned out in the East, and only escaped her magical prison in the last couple years! (I was, in fact, inspired by JJK and Sukuna for her imprisonment.) She ran from the East and took a new face to pose as, since she was captured and imprisoned in the East, and the people there still respect the old legends... and the Black Shroud is an excellent forest, vibrant with life! ...and unsuspecting mortals.
Speaking of the Black Shroud, there's a lot of ways to interact with her in regard to that! You could randomly run into her. She could do what kitsune do in the old tales, and lure you off the road at night and get you lost. Maybe you've seen something weird in the forest, or heard strange tales from travelers. Maybe you're just really in tune with the elementals and they've mentioned a new entity in the forest...really, I'm open to about anything with some talk about it beforehand!
She feeds on aether! She doesn't have to kill people to do this, though she's certainly not above it - what are morals to an animal, anyways? Food is food. Prey is prey. But sometimes, it's easier to just seduce someone and feed on their aether, before leaving them naked and drained in the forest to have a laugh at their expense.
Given her long imprisonment, much about the world is new to her! Maybe you lure her in by showing her all the nifty new stuff there is, and blowing her mind at how much things have changed in a few hundred years.
You could be an antagonist! Hunt her, if you like! Maybe she hurt you, or someone you care(d) about! Maybe you're from the East and found out her prison was dismantled, and you fear yokai; or you're just a Shroud Dweller who has been wronged, etc.
Romance! While I don't tend to like interactions that are solely focused on seeking out ERP - she is a sensual creature, and physical intimacy is an indulgence and a way to consume aether... though I don't know how she'd feel about genuine romance... last time she indulged in that, it got her caught and imprisoned!
She likes pranks/mischief... and sometimes that mischief can seem cruel if you don't understand the mindset of a creature of the wild. Engage her on her level, and she might find you more 'fun' than 'food'.
Alternately, she carries her soul around in an orb she wears as jewelry, and if someone got their hands on it, it'd be bad news for her!
About anything you can think of and want to brainstorm together! She's an alt that's good for long-term or short-term RP; serious, or not-so-serious moments... there's plenty of potential!
Tumblr media
The OOC
Writer is 30+, and I prefer RP partners to be 21+ - I do prefer darker, more mature RP, but that's not all I'm capable of! I just like morally grey explorations - and questions like 'what really drives a person?'
Late nights aren't really something I can do anymore, past 11-12pm my writing isn't any good, though my schedule is open enough to allow earlier starting times. Also I'm CST, and prefer in-game RP. I simply can't stay in character when RP isn't moving in real time, and tend to just forget to respond to out of game stuff, or not feel well enough to write some days, and it ends up taking so long that I can't stay in character. Thus, scheduling in-game scenes ahead of time will always be what works best for me.
No canon characters please, it just really breaks my immersion/my character wouldn't have any reason to interact with canon characters really! Unfortunately, this means WoL OCs as well - their power level is just so intense that I can't really justify my OCs interacting with the WoL: time-traveling slayer of gods at the edges of the universe. (And no shade to canon RPers of any kind - it's just not my cup of tea, is all. Embrace your fun, my friends!) I also don't mind bending lore, but outright ignoring/breaking with it is also not really for me - and again, there's no judgement for how others choose to have fun, but I like to respect the canon.
I prefer plots, and RP with a purpose - contact solely focused on ERP is not welcome. ERP as part of an on-going story doesn't bother me, however.
Don't bring IC into OOC, or vice verse!
Communicate! If the RP isn't working for you, just tell me! I prefer 'organic RP,' but if you want to steer a story (RP) in a certain direction or don't want it steering in a direction, let me know! I much prefer having that conversation, rather than allowing an RP partner to be silently upset or uncomfortable!Follows come from @ooc-miqojak , and my other blogs are @miqojak and @antlers-and-omens!

Tony and Valentine
Tumblr media
I did this drawing of my switch and swap au bars off of this photo from addicted ( obviously there are going to be differences with posing and stuff because it was just the inspiration. Also I changed up the car’s look but I’m really not on the mood to do good backgrounds so this is what you’re getting . I’m sorry lol) :
Tumblr media
Anyway. I guess I’ll take a bit more about this au. First of all we will talk about how Tony (Angel ) is in this au:
• Tong is more of a mental abuser than a physical one. Angel doesn’t like hitting people but he will yell at them hard core.
•When Tony is physically in punishment he lets someone else do it mostly in the form of drowning.
• Tony and Valentino fight a lot but Tony tries to restrain himself.
•Tony doesn’t do anything to do with SA personally at least but if he sees someone else do it to Valentino he will just turn and walk away not doing anything about it.
•Tony sometimes preforms as Angel Dust when he is bored
•Tony’s “Vox” is Husk and but the difference is that they are actually dating. (which I’m actually annoyed that Vox and Valentino aren’t technically dating in the show but.. it’s fine this is why we have fandom 🥲. At least there is still VoxVal content in the show though. )
Now for Valentino-
•Valentino goes by Valentine on stage. Angel thought it was uncreative but didn’t care enough to make him change it.
• Valentino lost his wings to Nifty when he messed up on of her outfits on accident. Angel did comfort him after but ultimately didn’t really care.
• Valentino’s love interest is Vox. ( because if we went by the actual way it was it would be Val x Mimzy which would be… uh… no. Also this does not mean I Ship Angel With Alastor in the original. I’m aroace myself and personally I don’t ship Alastor with anyone. Even though aroace Is a spectrum in my personal opinion it doesn’t seem like Alastor has any interest but that’s just my opinion . Either way I don’t mind people shipping anyone except when it’s a literally illegal ship or just plain wrong. )
•Also just a note in general I didn’t change anyone’s sexuality’s even though it’s a swap au. Because I feel like I’m swap au’s they should still have their own personalities in many ways. As well as important elements of who they are. )
•Valentino leans more into his fun and dumb side in this world but Valentino is still very much a narcissist and he will in every situation find a way to argue with Tony.
•Valentino gets angry a lot .
That’s all I have for now but If you have any questions or any questions for me or the characters in the switch and swap au you can ask in my Al’s box. Also for people who have done any Asks for Hazbin they are in the works.and for the creepypasta ones I have the sketches done it is just a matter of doing them digitally *

Say, what is your favorite kind of monster OUTSIDE of species of your characters? (ie. No demons, no slimes, etc.)
Personally I’m a huge fan of fire monsters/sprites/spirits
They look so nifty! And you can have fun with colorations depending on what type of flame it is
I have made up some lore of what I think fire monsters are like, physically and culture wise, but that’s not the point of this (if you want me to I can rant about my ideas for fire monsters in a separate ask tho!)
- Spooky Anon 🕸️
Ugh man, this is hard. Okay, so I can't pick a favorite. I'll just list a few?
I love doll monsters. Genuine plush-like characters that transform into this bizarre fabric-flesh amalgamation. Especially if you add the tropes of them being forgotten childhood companions, or even just something you bought in a... Dumpy garage sale, practically given to you for free by a crazy senile man (can you tell I used to read creepypastas?).
There's illithids, of course, though I feel that doesn't really count here because I do have an illithid character. I just haven't put him here. I also have a weird bone/cartilage golem guy, but alas.
If done properly, and that's a pretty big "if", zombies can be really hot.
Uhhh- Living armor. I really like those. Though I feel that could be achieved with a mimic too, thus disqualified.
I'm going to have to pass on the elemental lore you have. Not because I'm not interested, but rather because since I'm always making new characters, chances are one day I'll make one of those, and I don't want to subconsciously steal what you come up with.

Character Sheet Commission Bundle
-|- Page header by space-b33 -|- Masterlist -|- Prince of Dathomir Masterlist -|- Sins of the Father Masterlist -|- Art Masterlist -|- Check out my : Ko-fi / AO3 -|- Commissions Open -|- My Patreon -|- My Linktree -|- Join/Leave my tag list -|-
I'm putting together a sale bundle for art commissions in the form of this nifty character sheet!
All of the illustrations and commission prices are discounted from my usual rate and there is a further discount for Patreon and Ko-Fi members!
Click here to order a character sheet!
Prices and examples:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
How does it work?
You can choose between a basic or themed character sheet. You can also choose whether the three empty sections are filled with information or illustration or left blank to be filled later.
See below for full details and more examples.
Basic Sheet
This sheet would be the layout of the beige coloured example above. You can customise the colour to fit your character's aethetic, either a solid colour background or perhaps a gradient of two colours and you may choose the aesthetic of the font (handwritten, elegant, bold, etc) and also the colour.
The sheet will come filled out, so even if you do not purchase an illustration commission, you will have mostly filled character sheet!
Themed sheet
This is a little more fun, along with the customised fonts and colours (as above) you can customise the boxes and layout a little bit. Below are fantasy and sci-fi themed ideas, just to give you a visual of what could be done for the sheet over all.
Is your character a Bounty hunter? I can add imagery to the boxes to look like a wanted dossier. Are they a wizard? I can add mage-like elements. These are a few examples I could do (within reason) for the sheet itself.
Sections
These are entirely up to you and what you want to put in them. As the above example roughly shows, you could include illustrations of your character, or their equipment or even a written passage about their backstory which you can provide.
Extras
The illustrations I can provide for the full sheet are a three quarter or knee-up illustration from flat colour to fully painted.
A bust illustration can fit in one of the sections, of an alternative look or more detailed look of the face.
I can also provide 3 - 5 equipment illustrations such as a weapon or two, accessories, etc depending on complexity.
If you would prefer, I could do a couple of headshots of different facial expressions in a simple flat colour finish.
Bundle
If you wish to get a character sheet with all three sections illustrated I can offer a further discount. You can send a DM for more details!

WIP Call me by your name
Part VI making the case
This one gave me a bit of a headache with some of the design steps. Anyone who’s read the book won’t ask why apricots/peaches for the design element, but I wanted them fuzzy too touch and first had to find a velourspaper that would take colour without being too bright to look pleasant. I found a somewhat pale cream hued paper that worked out nicely.
Tumblr media
(Don’t ask about the printing, I know neither fear nor qualms just running whatever paperlike sheets I have through a printer as soon as I don’t immediately come up with reasons why I shouldn’t and I pick printer settings based on nothing but gut-feeling). I set the apricots a bit back to protect the fuzz from wear and dirt and the corners from wearing off. 
The titling worked out well. The letterspacing in the first line could have done with less space between the letters in favour of more space between the words. I didn’t notice that on my test stamps though. I think it still reads fine. The whole design would have done well with being a little higher on the cover, but the cut out was made and after I hot stamped the first line there was nothing to do about the position of the title anymore either. 
By the way, in order to have it easier later to round the spine of the case I always pre-round the spine stiffener. That an happen at various moments in the building process. There are special heated metal rods used for rounding the usually finished case. They are nifty but not really necessary. Some use a round rod (often made from wood) with some paper glued to it to wrap up the spine stiffener and round it. I wasn’t trained with those and don’t feel comfortable using them. I use the rounded edge of my workbench and just gently move it back and forth, starting with low pressure and giving it more as I notice the spine stiffener giving in.
Tumblr media
I do this from with the back cover on the table as well as with the front cover on the table. The reason is to prevent this from happening.
Tumblr media
The spine on this book was very stiff and I applied too much force too quickly, so it broke (I have no idea if that is what this problem, or rather, result is called in english. I know it in direct translation as a ‘broken spine’.)
