these are all kind of Bad but this was the best of the bunch so i am posting it :p

i've been trying to draw vanessa more... she is so important to me... sun is here too i guess

#my art #probably wont tag this until later i dont want this in the tags #im mainly posting this because i absolutely need to talk abt something its been bothering me for awhile #im gonna censor this stuff (i REALLY dont want this in the tags) so just bear with me #why doesnt the 🌞&🌜 fandom talk abt v/nessa more. why do we not do that #their entire character is meant to parallel her #there's like a million tiny parallels for them in the games. they were both teased in the hw1 dlc and are both associated with that #🐰 & 🌜's animations (and even their designs) have several similarities to each other #there's a lot of cutscenes and parts of sb where one shows up after the other does.. 🐰 going to the daycare after greggy leaves #🌜 dragging feddy away to parts and service and v/nessa immediately showing up there #the entire 6am ending sequence ??? #literally like the only reason v/nessa isnt more popular is bc like 90% of her character is hidden in unused content #and because 🌞&🌜 are the skinny handsome mysterious and tragic tumblr sexymen #and when they become so isolated from their source all of their parallels to her are used to instead repackage her character into a more #appealing design for everyone to fawn over and consume #.. im being dramatic but AuUGGHTHHF IT BOTHERS ME SO MUCH PLEAAAE3 pleaseee please i love her. #its so hard being in the 'i want to kiss this robot' fandom when you dont actually want to kiss the robot #i just think theyre an interesting character 😭 and also my adhd brain obsesses over them endlessly so im just stuck here HFJSJGJD #anyway these tags got way too long dont read these. im going to bed now

two more character pages for my current d&d party!! if you follow my personal blog you've probably seen me posting about glory, lol. i may have accidentally turned myself into a robotfucker by making it too hot, lmao, but im not mad

glory is part of a church-sponsored program that builds warforged as, like, angels basically. glory is designed & built by raz, my other character from this campaign. it is, uh, theoretically also my character, but for the first few games the DM was playing it, for lore reasons.

sseja is a kobold ninja who is like, weirdly flirtatious. she's also become the party's de facto loot holder, because her player is the only one of us who actually likes keeping track of gold, lol. also, glory has developed a soft spot for her after she was riding on its shoulders for like an entire game's worth of combat, hence why i've drawn them together XD

#dungeons and dragons #d&d #dnd #alpha glory #sseja #ssejarytiss #i know im probably not going to tag her full name so ive included her nickname as well for ease of future searching lmao #anyway oh my GOD have i been going insane over glory lately. yall have no idea. #obsessed with this sad amnesiac robot. #raz gave it a SOUL and got ARRESTED for that #and it has no fucking idea whose soul is in it. tragic.

..........is dirty laundry the reason ppl always have lance and keith care about star wars in fics : I

#im once again shaking my fist at the sky #keith has never given a single shit about something like star wars and i'll stand my ground on that #he's one of those people who just never watched it by chance and then if anyone was ever like oh u should watch it he'd be like nah #and the more insistent ppl got the more he'd be like actually fuck you all im never watching it on principle at this point #and lance? idk man. i dont even have a good explanation for why he wouldn't be obsessed i just know it in my bones. #he would have been like a transformers kid or something. and not just bc of the giant robot ok it's not bc they're voltron it's the vibe. #or like a ninja turtles kid. #or he'd really love bionicles in the way gay ppl do. #colleen thoughts

redraw of that thing i drew. Yeah

#cacterart #brutal orchestra #this is actually a few days old i just forgot to post it #don't know if i'll post it to the talia server i am. scared. #i've been watching what people talk there for a while but never doing stuff there myself because uhhh #fear of being considered cringe? i think #and never since someone in there said that they wanted my disability to go back to being marginalized i just said “Huh!” #“i guess my progress of being open about that will now evaporate completely :)" #it's uh. not particularly fun #also my borchestra hyperfixation has slightly died out sorry borchestrabros #i still think about it a lot but like. i'm currently obsessed over silly singing robots. sorry #these tags are full of apologies i'm sorry for that #anyway ermmmm... i still have a buncha borchestra stuff i need to draw. might do that at some point in the future

Never posted this doodle of maybe a new fursona design (v.4). Dragon lol I kept some of the silhouette from the previous design and blended it with some stuff from the Somnivagrant, the eyeless & amorphous dog thing I use for my non-fanart stuff. Mostly the sun orb tbh love the sun orb... The Somnivagrant sort of possesses my fursona but it's more like it's bored and just wants to go on adventures than that it's like actively affecting my fursona in any way haha It can leave whenever it wants. But I thought it'd be cool to combine the designs a little. Maybe Somni's been hitchin a ride in my 'sona's meatsuit for so long it's started changing his form a bit. Idk. There's no real lore here

I didn't sketch it out here very much, but I was thinking of a design where he stores energy in his tail kinda like a gecko and there's glowing energy visible between some of the scale plates. Forgot his tusks oops

Somni and 7oby v.3 designs for context for the above notes:

#my stuff #sketches #oc 7oby #oc somnivagrant #I figure if I post this here then maybe I'll finally get around to cleaning up this design rofl He needs wings #The powermullet and leather jacket predate my Sol Badguy era don't @ me I have receipts #It's funny that I've changed my fursona 4 times now across 20 years (!!) but he's always had upside down triangle shaped eyes #House cat -> robot -> spotted hyena/Indian boar Terminator -> dragon? demon? thing? tbd #v.3 is the design I've used the longest out of any of them (~9 years) but these last probably 5 I haven't been very attached to him #Which is probably why his design got so insane lmfao Kept slapping stuff on there to try not to get bored of it but I got bored anyway #I don't know why it's taken me this long to make a dragon fursona though like I've literally been obsessed with dragons my whole life

Would you mind letting us know how Stealheart Redux went from (what looked to be) a more typical dragon rider story to more high-tech / robot themed? I would love to know how that process kinda went, cause it seems like a bit of a jump. A good one in my opinion, but still :3

gladly! this is a fun answer because i know exactly how and when it happened. part of the fun of basically this entire thing being developed in a discord server with my friends (it's a personal server, we just have an infodump channel i fucking live in LOL) is i can track basically every new development down to the minute, because i tend to go straight there.

basically, the long and short of it was i'd been trying to plot the story for about six months and was still dissatisfied. it was still regularly going semi-major overhauls, and i felt directionless, like i was fighting against the story itself. so i took a step back and tried to figure out why that was. one thing i hit on was the timeframe.

steelheart, the ORIGINAL concept, is derived from an old (extremely expansive, basically oc world) au concept i came up with for fandom stuff years ago. THAT story was set in ye olden hand-waved medieval times. when i started drafting original steelheart, the oc-ified remake, i wanted it set in modern times, for the fun of it.

but i didn't really... change anything else about the story in consistency with that. i just kept trying to jam plot elements that didn't fit anymore into the new holes.

after leaving it alone for a month or so while focusing on other things, i decided to come at it from a new angle: completely embracing the time period, instead of awkwardly trying to get around it. i ended up going more 'future' than 'modern', clearly, but it ended up working out fantastically, and while the story still isn't done, it's a hell of a lot stronger in literally every aspect than predux (what i call original version) ever was.

as proof, here's the discord messages:

(this is also where the name 'steelheart redux' came from!)

#also accidentally gave myself a robot obsession but ive been having a blast w that so. no downsides #great question! thanks for letting me talk about this hahaha #steelheart redux #steelheart redux behind the scenes #i guess. ha #ask #hypervein #“is your name in your friend discord just sparks” no. lol #“you know redux isn't a verb right” found this out like last week acutally dw abt it

Was trying to come up with a story idea for a loooong time in which to reuse Nova in a non-Destiny setting and now I have accidentally created an entire storyline for which I'm like, "What if I learned more about game dev and made this legit?" because I'm an idiot who loves to torture myself with my own story ideas.

BUT ALSO...

what if DID I learn more about game dev...

#our little lives don't count at all! #been wanting to do a story ABOUT robots for a long time too so this is 2 birds for the price of 1... rpgmaker game #HILARIOUSLY. SHE IS NOT EVEN THE MAIN CHARACTER #my partner's Destiny OC would be the player character lmao. because I'm obsessed with him too. #weirdly I think this will be the first time I have ever reused an OC?

@docdracula‘s robot iron man concept has completely taken over my brain, rent free, absolutely no intent to evict, ect ect and i have THOUGHTS i have too many thoughts.

for one, like, how early on does tony die? how early is this ai/robot created? is there a possibility that it was created before anyone knew who iron man was? before even Happy? because that’s So fucked up. no one (but yinsen) ever knew who he was and now no one ever will because there isnt anyone TO know underneath anymore. there’s a single picture of iron man back when it was still tony, back when the eye holes were just holes. back when you could see human eyes under the mask. the eye-slots are opaque now, but. there was a person in there once. so everyone assumes there still is. the assumption is that he’s someone who tony met in vietnam. maybe a soldier. that the two of them were close -- you need to be close, to trust someone with your life like that. for iron man to continue being connected with SI even without the payroll of tony stark’s bodyguard. for the mansion to be left to him. (i am setting tony’s death pre-avengers formation, because i think that is Fun)

No one connects tony stark and iron man beyond that. they knew eachother. they were close. iron man attends his funeral. he doesn’t say a word.

also, in my head, the iron man AI/robot is Distinct from any sort of AI tony. both because this early in canon, i want to say that a perfect copy like that just wouldn’t be possible, and because tony isn’t necessarily trying to replace himself: he’s just trying to replace iron man, and this distinction matters. quite a lot, i think. like, with AI tony we know that tony programmed him to still be an alcoholic. i... don’t actually think he’d do that if he was just building a robot to continue to be iron man, especially with how much tony tends to build up the seperate identity as better than himself.  is this AI still absolutely fucked up, even if it is supposed to be what tony considers the best parts of himself? absolutely! hes still kind of based off tony of COURSE hes just a fucked up guy.

i just,,, him. i love this fucked up lil robot trying to be a person, trying to be the best person, trying to be everything tony thought iron man was. being almost tony, but not really. he always feels weird around pepper and happy and ms abrogast because he doesn’t know them but he knows about them. they’re his friends (they were tony stark’s friends) but he doesn’t know how to talk to them. they don’t know what he is. he doesn’t fully know what he is. he isn’t tony stark, but he isn’t not tony stark. he’s iron man, but that’s just an identity, a mask for someone who used to exist and doesn’t anymore. he’s iron man, but not tony stark. he’s just a mask. he’s just a mask and nothing else.

i think he’d start metaphorically sobbing the first time one of the team called him “shellhead” because thats a name FOR HIM!!! he gets a name! he’s been given a name! i don’t know if he’d HAVE one before that. i don’t know if tony would have time to name this AI, or would even... consider giving him a name other than iron man. i feel like he’d get so soft whenever the team treat him like a person but also feel so bad about it because he doesn’t want to deceive them (even as he increasingly feels like he has to, in order to be what they want him to be). i feel like he’d want to reach out, so badly, so very badly, but feel like he has to hold himself back, because if he reaches far enough to make contact whoever he’s reaching for is going to discover there isn’t anyone else there.

i think about him having some actual articulation underneath the armor, mostly in his hands, so he can take the gauntlets off and have fine-motor control enough to build things, things to give to his team who he loves so so much with the heart that isn’t there. i think other than that there wouldn’t really be much else. he can fill the suit up with gadgets and extra pieces and more processors but there isn’t really a point on building a skeleton. the armor is his body.

i like to think that he feels bad whenever the team worries about him. because he ISN’T in the same level of danger as they are. he can’t be hurt in the same way they can. it’s just another way he feels like a liar. he feels like a liar a lot -- moreso than tony, even, because at least tony’s just lying about who he is, not what he is.

honestly the most tragic part is that even though tony’s dead and this robot has no heart to have problems with

he’s still got to plug himself into a wall

#IM JUST!!! #im having so many thoughts about how this would affect canon #because of course right off the bat like half of the ToS plots just. disapear. because tony isn't around anymore. #depending on when it happens #all of the plots that hinge on tony having to be two people in two places at once. gone. #like!!! what happens about the drinking arcs!!! the molecule man thing!!!! #what about the plots when people DO find out who iron man is -- like with the actor and that one guy who thought he WAS iron man in the end #notably in ToS we do have robots that can mimic humans perfectly im ignoring that #but also da;lksdfasdf molecule man and everyone else fully thinking iron man has been vaporized #and hes like. NO I SET IT NOT TO MELT HUMANS I PROMISE #I DONT KNOW WHAT HAPPENED BUT THE MELTING HUMANS BIT WAS FOR /LATER/ I SWEAR #a;lksdjfasdf #also having very wall-e esque thoughts #he just wants to hold a hand so badly...... he wants to be Touched #he wants to be known he wants to be held. he wants to feel things. he can't. #(also adjacent but non-related thought: both steve and tony watching wall-e and over-relating to wall-e #while considering the other to be more like eve) #evren i am SORRY about your notifs i am simply Obsessed #also ive for some reason latched onto he/it pronouns for this robot #ive been reading too much murderbot i think maybe #and maybe that like. everyone defaults to he adn he doesn't correct them #but. he isn't a human and sometimes he feels like he should be reminded of that. that he should be refered to as such. #god what would fuckin cw even look like #he cant do identity shenanigans! there is only one identity!!! #so many questions so many possibilities im biting it i am rotating the concept

Bee and puppycat lazy in space I love you so so much it's not even funny

#ramblings of a lunatic #decided to rewatch it again bc the toh finale has had me in a tizzy and while I'm getting better #it's definitely been hard just floating about in fandom space knowing that the show is ending and that in the scenario we do get more of it #in another form ofc #it won't be for a long time yknow? #it's saddening and back in September when i was uh. Very Sad bapc was really there for me #i was out here ardently defending the netflix series' writing bc i genuinely thought it was really good #and i still do #but more than that this show is intensely comforting in a way i can't really place/describe #it's a magical girl show. it's a workplace comedy. 99% of the cast is 25 years or older. its a coming of age story. #it's has pastel and lo-fi art direction. it's cosmic horror. the main character is so caring and yet so selfish and also autistic #and a robot #all of her romantic relationships are intensely weird and frankly are her least interesting dynamics #her most interesting dynamics are with her roomate/pet who's actually a space pirate cursed to look like a marketable plushy #and with her 8 year old landlord who's mom was childhood best friends with her dad making them family in a sense #except they're not really. also they're foils (she's an immature adult he's a kid who tries to be more responsible than he is) #it's filled with intense melancholy and multiple characters suffer from un-talked about depression #it is one of the cutest and brightest shows i have ever seen (in a non-obnoxious or technicolor way) and has an intense air of whimsy #it kinda has a fandom but not a big one despite having an undeniable impact in online animation culture and a bit on online culture overall #I'm not captivated by it in a fandom-y sense but i am obsessed with it. it's like wuthering heights to me #i love this show
