2. When was the last time you cried?

Just this morning. It's been quite a month, but honestly I do cry easily.

3. Do you have kids?

(Self hating content incoming sorry if you don't wanna answer) I'm a grey ace lesbian and honestly I just wish so badly that I wasn't. I'm so scared that even other queer women won't want me, I know that realistically my odds of finding someone who's compatible aren't good, and honestly I just don't want to have to deal with all this. I wish I wasn't scared to even casually date half the time because I'm so afraid no one who isn't also ace is ever going to want me so it feels like I'd be

(self-doubting greyace lesbian anon pt 2) Like it wouldn't be fair to expect someone who wasn't ace to stick around for maybe a regular relationship. I want love and I wish I enjoyed more than the idea of sex more than once in a blue moon, is that so wrong? And it's so hard to not feel like i got cheated by the universe and resent my identity. I don't want to drag other ppl down so I just bottle these feelings up plus idk if I can afford therapy rn. I just wish I could make my peace with this.

I'm sorry you're having such a hard time, Anon. It sounds like there's two issues going on, the first is finding a partner you're compatible, and the second is self-acceptance in general.

I'd focus on self acceptance to start. Start following ace spectrum blogs (both ace themed, and people who just happen to be ace spectrum). If you can lesbian ace spec stuff, even better. And consider joining communities. Check and see if there's any in-person ace meetups near you, or think about joining online communities like a discord server or similar. It can help a lot to regularly see real aces who are dealing with the same or similar things as you so you're not always comparing yourself to the same standards as allos.

Seek out ace media, there's a lot of books and podcasts out there especially and you can find rec lists. Find characters who you relate to.

Remember too that your value is not in your relationship status, build yourself up. Learn a new skill or take up a fun hobby (or build on ones you already have). Build up your self esteem and self worth. This isn't giving up on dating, but it will help you value yourself no matter how things are going on that front, and will help you be in a good place when you do meet someone who is compatible with you.

Generally speaking there are actually a lot of aces out there (even if you take the conservative 1-2% estimate, which is almost definitely underestimating, that's still over a thousand aces in any city with a population of 1 million or more. They can just be hard to find, but I have known a lot of aces who have successfully found ace dating partners and found good relationships, so remember it is possible.

We do absolutely need better ways of finding each other, especially for dating purposes. In the meantime though there are dating apps that let you give your orientation as ace, and seek out other aces, and there are communities around. As visibility increases, this is getting better though. So even if you try and date withing the ace community, you do still have options.

There are also allo people who aren't as big on sex, or don't mind going without or not having sex very often, though that can be like looking for a needle in a haystack because of societal expectations. But they do exist.

So try your best not to give up hope, and to keep trying to meet people. What you want is possible and something others have succeeded at too.

All the best, Anon! And good luck!

mwah your art is good and nice :>

can I ask for some advice? no worries if u don't want to answer.

do you have any tips on how exactly to practice art? everytime I ask for art advice everyone always says "practice" but idk what to practice first! do you have any strategies for learning how to draw something? do you do excercises? and if so how do they work?and are there any beginner mistakes I should look out for and change specifically?

thank you so much!! have a wonderful week :>

thank you so much! im ok w answering! i dont want to speak as if i am an expert on how to draw things in general as i am learning as well and definitely am not completely learned, so i might not be the best person to ask since im not very professional w my art as I do it as a hobby (and I can only speak on mostly digital cartoon matters) but i reallly hope to try and help u out even a lil ! im really happy that you’re eager to draw :] I wish you so much luck muwah muwah

i also hated when ppl told me “just practice” and i dont wanna inflict tht on u EITHER LOL but also thats just what i ended up doing for awhile but i tried to find some things to help ^_^

tips for practice: My number one rule is that practices should be challenging but still fun, I know it can get frustrating trying to redraw a pose over and over trying to get it perfect. And over time it rlly is all about muscle memory, the longer you draw the more your eyes will pick out specific shapes in everyday life and convert them into its own vision of them! or at least its good to look at life that way, try to pin point key shapes and stress less on details in practices. after you look at key points, THEN you can go over what you have and draw in and over it to make it more “complete.” To stop practices from getting too stressful I recommend starting out drawing what you want a little more simple looking than ur desired finished product. This helps eliminate the pressure of everything not looking “perfect” and keeps your art more loose and fun. Doing this a few times is gonna get ur brain to recognize patterns in art and how things look/flow in anatomy and such. dont get stuck in ur own head abt perfecting everything to the point you either 1) give up bc ur not at a level capable of it being 100% “perfect” or 2) focus so much on making it perfect that you end up saying the work looks “wonky” or stale in dynamics, So while I do think studies help, don’t get too lost in them. I always practice with media I enjoy too, whether it’s characters or fashion I enjoy.

Strategies learning to draw something: people get mad abt this one but I think tracing reference photos is great. its been awhile but When I tried learning to draw hands better at first I would trace them then put the traced image to the side of the canvas, then try and replicate what my mind saw as its most important angles and aspects. Same for clothing folds/hair/etc! I think it’s maybe not the best idea to trace the ref and use the tracings as is, because you learn more from tracing it then trying to replicate and simplify what u learned into the style you’re working in. Find what shapes you like from them and don’t over detail it. you may have to go by eye and think “what parts of this ref photo should i simplify to fit my style” and for me, its usually adjusting the length of the torso and then the limbs by associations. i dont recommend feeling like u need a reference for every art you make though, its ok to let ur own head try out its own sometimes too while trying to learn this, see if it remembers any call bad from the past referenced sketches! over time ull remember where everything goes more, these days i rarely kick myself to use refs but im sure they still would help to use, but figure drawing simple blobby figure in a bunch of random poses was a big thing i used to do as well to get better at full body art + overall dynamics (still does this). also paying attention to silhouettes is great

Exercises and how they work: I WANNA HELP U SO BAD BUT to be honest, all the works on my blog ARE exercises! i rarely actually do finished pieces, if u scroll thru my posts ull notice most r sketches. i usually just fill up a page and call it “warm ups” then i get attached to some of them, take a few, and just line them up pleasingly on a smaller page, then color them in (or sometimes fix the lines to be more clean too). im not rlly a person who “exercises” to practice, it more so happens from just me drawing a lot for fun as a hobby! but i really should. i will tell u this has humbled me a lil i need to start practicing too 😭 LOL but a good exercise is to look at what ur inspirations do, and study it. Make a collage and write out what you like most abt their styles/what u want to gain from them. For ref Here’s a page I did awhile ago when someone asked me abt my insps:

i also look at fashion magazines and as well as anime figures and take insps from that sometimes with learning cool poses and compositions to convert into my own things

Beginner mistakes to look out for: its hard for me to pin point “mistakes” beginners make, as sometimes we cant avoid all of them or even notice them, progress comes from growing out of old ways. some mistakes are even the foundation of ur future amazing cool style! but i think some things to look out for could be these, from my own old art experiences

Hands were the first thing I learned bc i liked drawing them. I don’t know if that is the best way to go but I think it is smart to practice sooner than later, here is a lil guide thingggyyy wingyyy from awhle ago

i see beginners shy away from drawing signs of age in people, sometimes adding too much detail on an older person in cartoon art makes it look weird, so i try and hit the key markings on ppls faces of age.

Too thin of lines. sometimes its a stylistic choice to use thin lineart, and it can look amazing ! but sometimes it can flatten an image if ur not familiar with its flow. im not saying use thick line art, but more so to keep in mind the weight of ur strokes, adding depth with a thick thin combo of line art can do SO much for the simplest of pieces. heres a visual from a while back when i talked abt my brush + more abt lines:

but if ur desired style is thin lineart that is cool too! tbh it was just harder for me as a beginner

sometimes artists think they need to do full lineart for everything and then hate how it looks compared to the sketch, do not fear i will introduce u to my bff: painting over a sketch, extractinging the lines, then calling it line art. i only do this sometimes but its a fun exercise-ish thing to do in a pinch. example:

finding what shading fits ur art. sometimes ill see ppl starting out who have a style thats very simple, but they use a very detailed rendering process on it. this is not something id ever police of course, art is each persons own choice! And it CAN work. It can be so cute! but sometimes mixing two very contrasting mediums of art can throw off the “put together” look of it. i use to abuse the airbrush tool thinking it made my simple style look super cool and detailed, but looking back on it now those pieces looked a little off, having such a simple style have somewhat more realistic shading. dont get me wrong the ability i see ppl use rendering like that is so insanely talented! but i found cellshading to be a good match for cartoony art like my own. a tip i learned way too late abt that is rather than shading each layer by color picking a darker color, instead use a clipping mask over the entire art (above line art too as I color my lineart) and lasso tool the areas u want shaded + fill it w a saturated purple then set to multiply + lower opacity. also, sometimes coloring can come out chalky looking when u meant for it to be smooth and transitional, i think this comes from overshading and overlighting pieces without reason. pay attention to where the light source is, and focus on making the shaded and lighter areas nice shapes that cover the necessary areas, then u can add additional shading to the smaller details of what should have a casted shadow/light

its good to spice up ur art now rather than later, focusing making ur art pop more w backgrounds will help ur coloring skills look better too! i dont mean detailed huge backgrounds, a small lil color pallet and design rather than a blank white bg. like this will make u feel better abt it or at least it helped me *sweats* yeah:

beginners tend to draw blank faces like “:)” but I think a good thing to do is try and get silly with expressions early on. It’s okay if the mouth hangs off the face cartoonishly with joy or shock, it’s ok if the eyebrows are super high in surprise.

tracing and pasting it as is (already said this but I’ve seen ppl do it a lot with hair styles and it makes it look alienated from the rest of the style) (final fantasy fans found critically injured) n if need a ref for a pose, using a real humans anatomy as-is doesn’t look quite right on a cartoonyish drawing. Shortening torso and legs usually comes out of this for me!

flip ur canvas i promise u it’ll be less embarrassing over time!

using guidelines for perspective and foreshortening is GREAT. Do it stylistically rather than realistically to add some groove to it...yay. Having silly perspective in art can make it look like a 10 so easily opposed to a normal front facing sketch. Look at cool poses from fashion magazines! Don’t be scared to draw something you don’t feel confident in conveying perfectly, this is why progress redraws exist :)

Drawing the hairline b4 u draw the hair is great, it helps u understand where their hair flows from, where it starts and stops, AND prepares u for drawing bald ppl. Also don’t make the head too big, the skull IS bigger up top, but sometimes I see an alien head affect.

Anatomy is an interesting mistake that beginners make a lot, but it’s one they find harder to notice! When I started out, all my art would be SO wonky, but I didn’t even realize it! It still happens today too! specifically though I see beginners struggle with the arms in this department. My advice is to try and measure them out and make sure they don’t go past the knees, and are the same length as each other when Unfolded. asking for criticism is hard but it helped me realize when i would make something bigger/longer than it should have been in my art, and stuck with me being able to go “oh... i see it LOL”

clothing wrinkles- do not over do it! Too many wrinkles and shading can look unpleasant and wirey- like a plastic table cloth all bunched up which isn’t exactly what ppl wear. pay attention to gravity too

I hope this helped even a lil im sorry tht I’m not very good at explaining or didn’t have much to sayyy! If u have any troubles no guarantee I’ll have the answer, but ur always free to ask!

#asks #faq #I hope ur week is going good n that u’ll have fun creating 💙🐠#long post #not tomaart

blurple time.

finally finished this~ months after he appeared 😅

you can tell there's a bit of a punk/industrial vibe infusing the whole design. i also drew from various details in the comics, and other random things like bulletproof leather jackets.

closeups, ramblings, (and a version with a cape) under the cut:

i was originally not planning to add a cape cause i wasn't sure if i could make it work and tbh. still not sure. i like the way the purple cape looks from behind but the inside is like. idk. if it's purple then it looks weird, but the black feels off to me too... I don't think any of the other colors would work.

oh also i decided this glows in the dark (predictable as always)

Helmet's been through some sketches and stuff, spent a while figuring out the mechanisms and so on and settled on this design in the end.

Obviously you can see here the top is leather, it's based on a combo of a motorcycle cowl (with an angled zip you can just see there, and then the shoulders from an armored motorcycle jacket i was looking at. then the blue is meant to be a (heavily) modified like, boilersuit or whatever those are. mechanic's jumpsuit.

Plus all the spikes. Obviously there's no spider-punk in this setting but I like the aesthetics, and I like giving Hobie like a little thing of his own in terms of hobbies/interests so I thought adding that punk aspect would be fun, esp as it ties into his whole thing with being unsure of himself and being a little different and so on.

the lenses are one piece each, just with different colors of film on them, like you see on a variety of custom motorcycle visors. used chrome silver for the white "eyes," which i think would look cool and matches the metal hardware. very reflective. hobie prob won't be the only design with chrome/mirrored lenses for reflective purposes (thinking about the hobgoblin) (well. technically peter will also have aluminized lenses at one point but that's a spare mask for fires, not a main look)

earlier concept which i drew on my phone actually lol. some of this i obv jus copy-pasted cause it was fine as is, other stuff got tweaked, like i ended up changing the lens shape to look a little more like the comics and i did end up scrapping that shape for the faceplate/chin.

and you can see there i edited a pic from the comics playing with what colors i wanted to use. i liked the steel blue that showed up in some of the older painted art from the Prowler's earliest appearances, and I felt like I wanted to give him a color other than purple and green, though I didn't wanna ditch the purple either, so I ended up with this kind of neon blurple + navy combo that I liked a lot. And the silver too.

back of the jacket and helmet. Didn't originally plan on adding all those spikes but then I was sketching this out and I was like, oh... that would look cool... so i committed!! i like how it looks.

Originally I also had no logo/symbol on the front of the chest so I decided to put one on the back. Then I ended up adding that flat panel to the chest and added the symbol there too, and decided to keep the back one as well. i can def see a 19 year old being like, hell yeah... sick... people will definitely take me seriously now. and you know what. he's right.

i will admit i ended up a little dissatisfied with the story i told involving the Prowler in the linked fic, but... I also probably shouldn't have tried to wedge it between like five warring subplots. But it was like, the spot that made the most sense. If this was a cartoon I think it would be a like... 1-2 issue special focused more on him. And also peter would jump out the window. (The real tragedy that I didn't include cause it's hilarious, poor Hobie XD)

Anywho. Is this mechanism needlessly complex? Perhaps. I tried to simplify it at one point but then the more I thought about it the less the simplified version worked so I stuck with the OG idea here. I mean, i guess I could have ditched the locking mechanism entirely but i thought it would be fun if the helmet was self-locking! I also wanted a way for it to rotate/go visor up even with the spikes, thus it being a pretty large rotating faceplate with the spikes on it instead of elsewhere. not that he ever puts it up in the fic. peter just takes hobie's helmet off there 😂

He's also wearing a balaclava under there which I didn't bother really drawing, mostly to protect his hair (which I put in twists for related reasons of helmet-wearing) (I briefly had been considering braids but then, well, ATSV and Miles G. happened and I said, well now I cannot do that XD) (I mean I COULD have but I wanted to do something else here lol) Anyway. The idea here is that it's a kind of slide lock with a spring-loaded peg that slots into the holes, and the square hole with the square peg locks the faceplate in place and prevents it from rotating, but when the square peg is in the round hole, the faceplate can rotate freely. The only wrinkle here would be that Hobie has to pull on both locks simultaneously or as close to it as possible or he'd risk cracking the helmet (i assume? stress and pressure etc.)

Sliding the lock forward also slides the whole plate forward, which lets me (in theory) have a flush, smooth silhouette while still allowing it to come forward enough to push up. It's not vacuum sealed or anything though. But it does have like... air filters and a voice modulator and some other things. MOST of the suit is super low tech and doesn't require electricity but the helmet probably has batteries or something. (peter's new webshooters at this point are also battery powered lol)

Helmet is pretty typical fiberglass construction with foam pads inside. Idea there is that Hobie made a lot of this stuff using campus workshop resources like autobody or machining shop on campus, for stuff like getting fiberglass, having a space to work in, making polycarbonate lenses etc. Though it's totally possible to do fiberglass work at home too. (peter also uses campus resources for his lenses specifically btw)

Gauntlets!!! Uhhhh ngl very difficult. Trying to design armored gauntlets that don't look like knightly armor is very hard for me cause I always just google reference pics of knightly armor. LOL. I think these came out alright. There's a hint of motocross influence there too (though really even in modern days armor is armor so there end up being shared traits) The gloves ended up being mostly leather with some armored parts, though there is probably some inner armor which is not visible. The claws I left bare since you would not be able to sharpen claws coated in plasti dip—

oh yeah the purple color on all the hard parts is plasti dip, which is basically rubber paint.

The wrist gauntlets are very very very loosely based on a guy's grappling rope web-shooter thing which you can see in this youtube video: link. though i didn't wanna just rip him off so i mostly just said, alright, tubes and a harness—which the prowler already has in the comics anyway, albeit smaller. so really it's pretty much like the comics anyway.

Right wrist has the green laser dazzler, both have grapples, left wrist has EMP (not pictured) which Hobie uses in the scene I have him and Peter fight except then I realized recently I didn't actually explain what that was or how it was working 😂 I probably should have done that scene from Hobie's POV in retrospect. It's an EMP though and it scrambles Peter's spidey sense via interference/signal noise.

(electromagnetic signals being responsible for several cases of irl "hauntings" —> spider-man's haunted)

waist utility belt... I like the way the silver belt on the old art looks! So I decided to make these hard silver hinged cases instead of soft pouches (originally were soft but I changed my mind while coloring) — IDK if these really are metal or if they're just fiberglass with chrome paint lol but either way, shiny chromey, hinged to open, the insides are probably padded... buckle is actually metal though.

Boots—modified snow boots. These are loosely based off of a real thing btw: link to blog post

The silver things are the magnets. Gauntlets are probably also magnetic but those are not visible like the boot ones. I also read some comments saying certain kinds of electromagnets would be preferable for something like boots but ultimately, IDK how to draw that, so I just drew it like they look in jen foxbot's prototype.

There was some other stuff I initially planned on including that didn't make the cut, aside from the cape. I was toying with stuff like a jetpack (or really, a jump jet), gliding/wingsuit, etc. but... I didn't use any of those. Kept it simple and streamlined for the most part. so no gliding for this Prowler, but hey, he's got magnet boots.

maybe in the future if Hobie ends up with an Iron Man-esque collapsible suit, perhaps he'll be able to fly, but for now, he's a college student making a supervillain persona so he can keep himself from getting evicted...

And his face!!! cutie :3 loosely inspired by Greg Eagles' face (the voice actor for grimm from billy and mandy) Not that ATSV had no impact on this design but that was the main thing. Twists to keep his hair protected in the helmet under the balaclava etc. and something he can do himself, and then a twist out afterward.

plus you can see the nose rings I mention in Creep here.

#yes i did use the Peter base for this—they are supposed to be the same height and similar build #nadiart #fanadiart #arghdesign #hobie brown #the prowler #came in through the window last night #shiny art

ur post about oc fic and reader insert fic made me think about how every time i see a post dragging x reader it's kinda just... thinly veiled misogyny.

like i don't wanna get super deep or whatever but a good chunk of x reader writers (myself included) are just women or people socialized as women that have felt unloved or under appreciated in their lives because of their looks or their personality or their skills in things that women/feminine people are expected to excel in and i think that oc/reader insert stories give women a really important space to make themselves (or a version of themselves) the most desired thing which is something that they often don't experience. it's a space where women can feel comfortable and loved in a world where they're under appreciated and tossed aside because of things out of their control and it drives me up a wall when i see people shitting on these spaces and these works because these are just safe spaces for marginalized people PREDOMINATELY CREATED BY MARGINALIZED PEOPLE!!

n e ways this was a long rant oops..

omg see the thing that gets me about the occassional x reader/oc drag is that—the call is coming from inside the house LMAO. like, okay maybe original characters in fics aren’t a niche thing, but x reader sure the hell is, so you have to like, know internet culture/fandom to be aware of it let alone to start using it like an insult, you know? and i would argue that fanfic tends to be a hobby that attracts marginalised identities as you say, so like, why are we clowning on ourselves? LOL. it’s like a mathlete bullying the horse girl of their class, like, buddy—we’re both losers!!! get over yourself LMAO.

i think my favourite dig at x reader (specifically) that i’ve ever seen is some rando on tiktok saying it was fanfic for people who were popular in public school—i think it’s so telling of how other fans might view oc/reader content? like, “oh that’s just some straight girl shit, they’re not putting any effort into it/they’re stealing our precious ship boys for their pORN/they’re ruining the canon story by inserting themselves into it”. and idk—part of it is just human nature (we are always going to shit on things we don’t like, that is a fact) and part of it might be fandom/internet culture at large at the moment (the purity aspect/policing) but at the end of the day all we can do is tell them to eat dog shit when they sprout up in our spaces and ignore ‘em.

idk! it drives me bonkers though, because it does feel like these spaces/niches do get targeted unfairly for it—if it’s not for the simple crime of writing a love story with your favourite character, then it’s like… being old and doing it! because god forbid you be over the age of 18 and still enjoy engaging with fiction! don’t you have a mortgage to go pay? like—i never see that attitude (within a fandom space) directed at the grown-ass men and women and gender neutral pals who play like, Dungeons and Dragons. No one (within a fandom space!) tells them they’re weird for forty-hour long campaigns where they fight and fall in love and idk, put dragons in some dungeons or something. no—it’s the blatant love stories that get picked on. the ones written by girls (gender neutral).

romance—and falling in love—is one of the most universal feelings/acts in the world. we want to fall in love with everything! in every world! we wanna—fall in love and be loved by superheroes and the villains they fight and the monsters in the dark and the good guys that rush in with swords and the cute barista at the coffee shop down the road. if other fans wanna get hung up on the fact that a tiny fraction of others want to insert themselves in these incredible worlds and experience everything they want to (having powers; being saved. saving someone else—saving yourself) then that’s their problem lmaoooo. im sorry you can’t have fun and create whimsy for yourself by drawing an oc who wins the sports festival and saves bakugou from being kidnapped—but im built different. 😌 and im gonna have fun while im here.

#ofmermaidstories-asks #merms argues with people who don’t exist LOL but still im right and ur right anon we’re both right

i also wanna apologize if i've written some things that are suspiciously familiar to other works before. i only just noticed. i swear i don't know how it happens!! i've just never had an original thought i think _( ༎ຶ⌑༎ຶゝ∠)_ please forgive my sins.

pics: 🐶 🍡 🌿 (fun fact: the shiba's name is marutaro!!)

NORMAL AU!

we are married.

please consider... thoma with chubby cheeks.

irresistibly cute and soft.

ge ntly h olds... 🤲

the grannies at the market like to pull on them from time to time whenever he goes for groceries.

by the end of those days, he'd come home whining with aching cheeks.

"whining" i.e asking you for healing kisses? 🥺👉👈

he does not know how to swear.

thoma: "gee wilikers...", "oh to heck with it!", "gosh diddly darn it!"

ayato, tears in his eyes: pls,,, ju,,st say fuck,,

"he's a grown man with a job and pays taxes" ok maybe he does and just chooses not to BUT listen—

he says bejeebers in one of his voicelines 😭😭😭.

a cheesy romantic, the type to greet you with hand kisses. however ☝️👀

turn the tables and kiss his hands and he'll be reduced to mush.

secretly it's actually one of his favorite places for smooches. such hardworking hands, they deserve all the loving, don't they?

speaking of favorites, his favorite nicknames!

pretty boy, my prince, handsome — casually, politely, LOVINGLY he will pass away.

to be fair, he's a sucker for any sort of praise you give him but something about being called those just makes him feel so special.

BECAUSE HE IS. MUMUMU BESO MUUUWAH—

he makes me feel so soft and happy, he's like the song 'cloud 9' but personified.

this goes with any genshin character, but i'm a thoma simp. just,,, p,, please just imagine.

let me tell you, as a short person, i started screaming. rolled around my bed even, clutched my phone to my chest. at this age of mine. absolutely no shame, embarrassing ✋.

MODERN AU!

modern! thoma would probably enjoy the waitress musical.

his fav songs are 'what baking can do' and 'you matter to me.'

cried the first time he listened to the latter. cried again the next time he listened to it. they... were emotional days 😔.

enjoys musicals in general.

thoma/kamisato siblings theater kids canon i'm the left shoe of one of hyv's soundtrack artists.

he likes listening to them whenever he does chores and ends up singing along when he gets really into it.

doesn't really have the best singing voice, but he doesn't care. all that matters is that he's having fun 💪 king mentality.

and if you, as his s/o, decide to sing along with him ESPECIALLY IF IT'S A LOVE SONG DUET— shee, he just might propose to you then and there.

idk why but i feel like he'd be a swiftie. loves almost every one of her songs but lives for her 2010 era songs. gets so hyped for sparks fly.

his favorite animal crossing character is goldie and i will die on that.

i think he'd be a horror fan. specifically for spooky folklores and cryptids.

(based on that one voiceline of his - thoma's hobbies. also occasionally, he'll utter 'spooky stories...' if he's in your teapot.)

his youtube feed reccomends stuff like 'creepy urban legends from around the world' or 'inazuma's terrifying monster stories.'

when he's not in the mood to listen to music, he lets those vids play in the background instead.

thoma just vibing in his apron and cleaning gloves, waxing and polishing the floor with earphones in, listening to horror podcasts.

he is ANNOYING if he ever gets in a playful mood before going to bed.

both of you could just be peacefully cuddling, innocently talking about whatever until you fall asleep when he'll suddenly bring up a scary story he just learned. and as a result, ends up scaring you a bit.

too creeped to sleep now, you give his chest a soft smack, whining his name.

but then he just laughs! 😡 he's quick to apologize, but he's still laughing!!

as if pulling you in closer against himself, burying your face in his neck, and nuzzling into you will easily let that slide — nah, scoot away from his mean ass. ignore how he whines for you to come back.

he rolls across the bed and follows you. immediately wraps himself around you once he reaches where you placed yourself by the edge.

"noo, 'm sorry." he mumbles, lips brushing against your skin, you could feel him smile. "i'm sorry."

he sighs then plants a kiss against your temple. "here. this way no monsters will get you."

like an inconvenienced cat, you huff, burying your face into his chest. "cringe."

...

you turn back up and quickly press a kiss on his collarbone, before shoving your face back to where it hid.

ok but on the topic of the waitress musical, 'never ever getting rid of me' gives me huge childe vibes.

sorry if this ain't much, i'm fighting demons (ง｡•╭╮•｡)ง plus school just started.

#[ 💘 ] — thoma.#genshin thoma #thoma #genshin impact headcanons #thoma headcanons #thoma x gn reader #thoma x reader #genshin headcanons #kamisato ayaka #kamisato ayato #childe #kamisato siblings #— i hope the way this is formatted doesn't look confusing.#— i'm really sorry if it's too hard to read 😭!

Julian!! I’ve missed you!! Sending a virtual hug and a few asks for the ask game!

❤️💛💚💙🖤🎤🎵📺🔐🧟‍♀️🍇💌🖇️🔍🪐🌚

I just realized… there’s a lot… haha sorry about that 😅 hope you’re doing well!

hiiii!! i missed you too!!! first of all, lemme return the virtual hug and then i'll get to answering!!

❤️ how tall are you?

5ft4. guess i'm joining george, johnny, frank and harry in the smol boys club

💛 what is your favourite feature on yourself?

maybe my hair? idk i feel like so many people talk about how lucky i am to have such thick fluffy hair that if i didn't choose that it would be the equivalent of cursing them and all of their families

💚 where are you from?

dwi'n dod o gymru!! actually it's fitting that the emoji is green because green and red are the welsh flag colours and i'm welsh!

💙 do you have any siblings?

just me, unfortunately

🖤 favourite hobbies outside of your blog?

archery! i used to be on my university team and we would shoot three times a week but i've graduated now and feel like i'm cheating on them whenever i shoot with my local team

🎤 have you been to a concert?

yes! i've been lucky enough to go to quite a few. some of my favourite artists that i've seen live are: my chemical romance, the libertines, epik high, vixx, kim hanbin and day6

🎵 favourite artists?

the libertines, the strokes, pulp, the cure, epik high, kim hanbin, onewe, hoppipolla, sunmi and woodz!

📺 last show you watched?

transatlantic (i'm still a wreck bc of these characters)

🔐 something no one would guess about you?

ohh this might be the toughest one bc i don't actually know how people see me so i wouldn't know what they would guess about me but maybe that i studied and competed in dance my whole life? (if you can guess what styles of dance i'll give you a prize)

🧟‍♀️ scariest thing that’s happened to you?

i don't wanna make this too heavy so i'll leave out the actual scariest things but the other week i may or may not have had an encounter with a ghost in my museum which is said to be haunted

🍇 a word your friends would use to describe you?

texted two of my friends and one replied "unnecessary" and the other said "an idiot of an enigma" so that went well lmao

💌 why did you start this blog?

because it had been so long since i had friends who loved band of brothers and i missed having an online community where i felt comfortable and happy and enjoyed engaging with people in

🖇️ what are your favorite asks to answer?

honestly i like all of them! i love interacting with people and so any asks are fun! writing asks, character discussions, get to know me asks, i'll take the lot of them!!

🔍 what character do you enjoy writing for the most?

lately it's been eddie jones!! every single idea i've had lately spawns around him and forms its own little solar system that revolves around his existence. i think it's bc i'm a little bit obsessed, but i also think the themes i enjoy writing most work very well with him so it's just the perfect match. but i also adore writing nix, he's my favourite hot mess and i love writing him. harry and tab are two i love writing who i didn't realise i loved writing until i saw the amount of times i'd written something focused on them when the work wasn't supposed to be anything massively to do with them lmao

🪐 favourite shows / series of all time?

ohhh another tough one, but i'm gonna have to say band of brothers, star trek, and lost, but succession is probably gonna end up being up there eventually but i need to give it a few years to settle before deciding. there are definitely others but they go in and out of order a lot and those are the three that always stay at the top no matter what

🌚 a show you’d tell people to stay away from?

honestly idk i think it's down to individual taste so if i knew someone didn't like a certain genre i could tell them to avoid shows based off of that but i usually don't tell people to stay away from a show unless there's something genuinely harmful in it

thank you so much for asking all of these!! it was fun to answer them and hopefully i haven't rambled on too long!!

for this ask game!

Hiii I wanna ask for a match-up pls 🥳

I'm an INFP, first off ummmm

Idk how to describe myself but I've heard people say I'm chill, adventurous, kinda reserved, friendly, and non-judgmental. I have a severe case of RBF, I tend to overthink a lot, and I try to avoid conflict though if someone that I don't like won't leave me alone, I eventually end up telling them off.

My hobbies are basically just anything artsy- mainly drawing, making stories or music, or doing crafts. I like to learn new languages (mainly Japanese and Spanish atm) and I like to watch movies! I'm totally open to trying new hobbies too :P

For looks...I'm a 5'1 female, I have green-hazel eyes and pale skin. Oval shaped face, petite body, my hair's always changing so idk about that part lmao. My style mainly centers around goth, mcbling, and a bit of emo fashion.

Oh and no pressure if you can't or don't feel like doing this! I just saw that u do matchups sometimes and thought "may as well" 😂 have a great day!

Hiii It's been a minute since I've done a match up so I'm sorry in advance if this isn't as detail-oriented as usual (I'm still going to give some details tho obvi).

I can see two for you, so here goes

Raph

- You and him share a need to do things- you being adventurous and him being rebellious - He knows that you have an RBF, but sometimes he thinks you're mad at him - (95% of the time, you're not mad at him- you're just zoning out) - He gets overthinking, and the stress that comes with it - If he sees you're bothered by someone (usually Casey/Vern/His Brothers) he will not hesitate to tell them - (Unless you get to it before he does) - He likes listening to the music you make and has tried making beats for you before - He is more than happy to help you with learning Japanese - And he would like to show you some knitting patterns if you'd like :) - He picks you up a lot because of how short you are compared to him - He knows you will probably hit him for it - He thinks your style fits you perfectly, but never explains why

Leo

- Always loses you when you guys go out together - You often wander to "Find a New Adventure" and sometimes end up in situations you can't get yourself out of - But if the situation is not some-one, they're not sure if they should be more afraid of Leo or you - (Mostly because of your RBF but we don't mention that) - He trusts your judgment and instinct, however, when people try to mess with you - There are very few people whose bad side he would want to be on. - Splinter. April. You. - Like Raph, he understands overthinking - However, as the oldest/leader, he understands the most out of the four brothers - He likes making art with you since he too has developed an interest in drawing - Sometimes, though, he just likes to meditate in the same room as you while you're drawing/making music/crafting - He knows both Japanese and Spanish and has offered to help you in studying them - He also offers to help teach you Italian once you're fluent in Spanish - He knows you don't always like being picked up, but still teases you for being short - (All in good fun, of course. Again, he doesn't want to get cussed out) - He's a bit confused by the history of Emo/Goth styles but he's learning more about it - He does like the early-2000s feel of McBling.

I'm so frustrated.

I get why Language learning is the first thing to get neglected whenever my brain goes back to depressionland. It's hard, it's frustrating, I'm shit at it even when I'm running on full capacity. Also it's something I purely do for fun(tm) and so there is no other, deeper incentive to keep at it whenever it gets hard to even leave the bed. This alone is frustrating enough, especially with this latest fallout running for more than a year now (this year has been very very bad for my continued existence x_x), but I'm kinda used to it. It sucks to have to start over all the time, but oh well. At least I'm still going.

Which is where my current frustrations are coming in.

See, with working on Mental Health stuff the last couple months, a lot has happened re priorieties and where my limited motivation/energy is needed more. And with spending more time on art, better social integration and (potential) new hobbies it constantly feels like there is just no time/energy left to grapple with being shit at vocab.

And that sucks!

I know part of it comes from lack of smooth access. I've relegated language and writing actitvities to the laptop cause I can't figure out how to do both art and typing on the desktop without fucking up my spine.

But I can ALSO not figure out how to integrate "Chill on laptop" into my overall workflow in a way that doesn't make me deeply anxious (cause there are more important things I gotta be doing!!!). And when I do spontanously find a way to switch over devices, I'm faced with the choices of: Wanna read? Wanna smash your blorbos together like dolls? Wanna see how utterly stupid you are for not remembering 東京?

Guess which of these tends to lose x_x

Idk, I recently remembered that I was able to clumsily talk to people on Tandem and now I get excited when I manage to recall basics. And part of me wants to just give up on this completely cause it's not worth the frustration and the time could be spent better on other things. Just gotta accept that languages are just not my thing and find something else to do.

Otherwise I have this laying around my to do things while not actually doing it properly(tm) and hhhhhh have a constant "you suck" reminder is what I'm trying to avoid having tbh

But also I don't wanna. I love languages too much and there is this chance that my motivation Pool increases and I've got time to learn more again as I'm improving things overall

Just....right now I hate it here :/

Kyujitsu, Shumijin Doushi De./Hobbyists On Days Off rambles

so uh, yeah, I have april fools unit brainrot and it’s for this specific nightcord ripoff so yeah. almost all my unorganized thoughts half-assedly organized for your convenience

so firstly, the sekai!

their sekai is the Clubroom SEKAI. just a big ass room that looks vaguely like a modified classroom? it has a ton of hobby things like sewing supplies, gaming consoles, baking utensils, etc. things just kinda appear and disappear on a whim depending on what the girls are doing at the time. Minori swears she thought she saw Mizuki’s mannequin where all her idol shit is now

the sekai was created from the member’s mutual feelings of loneliness, and also their newfound community with each other

this sekai's Miku is basically just Empty SEKAI Miku but like...less sad? ig?? idk, she's just a sweetie pie

idk ab any other VS besides Miku, but yeh--

AND NOW THE MEMBERS!!!

Akiyama Mizuki

Mizuki is, of course, the leader of this group! they created the chat group and pretty much stoked the fire of this new group of friends. I feel like they'd end up in a similar situation as they are with nightcord when they're absolutely TERRIFIED of the group figuring out they're trans their secret, but ay they're having fun, there's nothing to worry about, right? right??

Hanasato Minori

guess what! it was actually Minori's idea to start making music! well, kinda. Minori has already given up on trying to be an idol. after so many rejections she just figured it's time to give up...so she did. however, I think at some point the group gets to hear Nene sing for the first time and it sparks something in Minori. Nene's singing oddly reminds her of Haruka, and it inspires her once more, even if just to sing one song. she's still pretty hopeless all things considered, but she's trying!!

Kusanagi Nene

speaking of Nene! she's pretty much become a psuedo shut-in. ever since Rui has been spending more time with Fantasista SQUAD, Nene's had less and less contact with her one and only true friend, and she's almost lost her passion for singing and theater. oh yeah, and her stage fright is up ten-fold. the group went to a kareoke bar at some point and that was the first time she actually sang in front of everyone, but of course after Minori eggs her on and on, she kind crumples back and is hesitant to actually make anything of her singing. of course she eventually gives in gains some confidence in herself, but AUGH

Mochizuki Honami

and finally, the saddest of them all...maybe besides Mizuki but still--

I won't say too much on her as I know barely anything ab her besides she's a pushover and a people pleaser, and maybe even that's not entirely right, so take my words with a grain of salt. make ur own version of this au's Honami if u like!! anyway--

Honami has been distant from her childhood friends for so long, and she's completely unwilling to try and reconnect, as she sees Aoharu/friends doing just fine...but that's okay! cuz she has her own new group of besties!

uuhh ig she goes through an arc of getting over being a massive people pleaser too? idk. as I said, I don't know a lot ab her so feel free to add anything that I may have mischaracterized or something

so yeh! there's my thoughts for now! feel free to add ur own thoughts or headcanons!! I wanna see more content of this shuffle group I love them so much

#puroseka #pjsk #project sekai #pjsekai #proseka #kyujitsu shumijin doushi de.#mizuki akiyama #akiyama mizuki #minori hanasato #hanasato minori #nene kusanagi #kusanagi nene #honami mochizuki #mochizuki honami #pjsk april fools #april fools project sekai #emi made a post

PLEASE tell us more about the Accidentally Undercover AU I am OBSESSING over it now I must know more, I am in love with it 🙏

Oh dear I really just posted it and ditched you guys huh gdhs

Hi I'm back from my evening event and will ramble some more! I've been shooting ideas at @lulu-libellule who also made it all even more fun than it was initially, hehehe

So there's not much of the fnaf plot gonna happen - like virus and Afton n shit, I'm not going there, it's really just for fun

But! There is of course some sort of timeline, and there's three stages/ arcs basically. First pre-reveal, then the messy bit where they all figure it out (though not at the same time), and then post-reveal

Pre-reveal is mostly just what I described in the intro post, they're all stupid and I have a bunch of interactions I wanna draw for it. They're so, so incredibly oblivious it's so much fun. Picture this:

Moon recounts the night at work, the moment of victory when he managed to trip Robin up, giving him a headstart and resulting in a mild inconvenience (think something bruised, at worst sprained) for them. Sun simply nods along, agreeing on principle but honestly, he's just already thinking of how Y/N seems to have had a really bad day at work, limping in while cursing under their breath, so he's really thinking of doing something nice for them before leaving for his own shift (: No dot connecting happening

Or Sun's kind of accidental crafting hobby (he's an expert, he's not half-assing his cover story) carrying consequences for Moon, too Robin: Taking the "eyes on the back of your head" a bit too literally, no? Dusk: What are you talking about? Robin: There's. There's a googly eye stuck there. With glitter I think Dusk, internally: SUN I SWEAR TO GOD

The reveal itself is pretty much the only part I've planned to include angst - self doubt, frustration, and somewhat betrayal too for all of them. Messy, and not too thought out yet, but it'll be a whole thing!

Post-reveal on the other hand. That's gonna be stupid fun again, because now all three idiots are in on it and cover for each other. Their organization would shame them forever if not outright fire them for being so damn stupid if they learned their cohabitation was an accident, so they simply don't mention it to anyone.

Leads to fun moments when the presumed rivals start defending each other -

someone: Dawn dropped out of today's mission, said something personal came up Y/N, who begged him to stay home to wait for the plumber to fix some pipes bc they have a meeting with someone high up they can't cancel: he mentioned a funeral someone: oh, huh. my condolences later: Sun: Y/N. what funeral would we go to Y/N: IDK I PANICKED

Someone happens to ask Dusk what funeral they went to, he deadpan replies "our grandmother's", no one asks again

Also Moon will never let Y/N live it down once he realizes they lied about pretty much all their scars to make them sound cooler than they actually are, because for some reason being a literal secret agent isn't cool enough for Y/N. They almost regret making up all those dramatic stories. Almost.

Gonna stop here for now so I still have stuff to talk about when my brain isn't quite as mushy, but super super giddy that people like my silly little au idea!! I just love identity shenanigans with a focus on differing dynamics so so much, so I had to make that a reality, glad to have people with me on the ride <3

#answer let luce #anonymous #fnaf sb #fnaf sb au #fnaf sun #fnaf moon #accidentally undercover #I'm not proofreading this im very sorry that dinner drained me and it's near 10pm here lmao #which means ive been awake for 16 hours; nice #but yeyeye im so. this is all so silly i love it so much im happy ppl enjoy it too #it's a lot of fun n i just started thinking about it a couple days ago so very in the beginnings phase #but enjoying it very much #hehe

The Minotaur Maze Chapter 1 - The White Light The place of action is between Warmind and Forsaken DLCs, if you're wondering.

Eyy... I found a while to finish it, but IDK when the next chapter will be shared.

Yes, my eng is bad. I decided I don't want to be a perfectionist this time and just have fun...?

I love the design of the cover page for this fanfic. It gonna change the color palette depending on the illustration inside. And yes, I wanted the pic had a different style than the art style in my gallery. I hope I won't regret it...

Feel free to ask if you wanna.

The story under

The European Dead Zone, in short EDZ, was one of Iberis-3's favorite places to spend free time. Spring has already begun in the nearby forests and abandoned villages. Everything was in countless shades of green. Plants were blooming like crazy using almost every color that existed.

It was no different in his greenhouse. The virginia creeper growing on the building turned green and grew even bigger. Plants sown sprouted and grew towards the sun, getting longer each day. Iberis that evening was focused on writing notes in notebooks. The light of the lamp on the old table seemed to illuminate the greenhouse, giving a soothing and calm mood to this place.

Eva watched him from above. She was sitting on one of the shelves between stacked with books, notebooks, and other notes. She followed with her pink eye what her warlock was writing down in the notebook.

“Your handwriting is ugly”.

“I know, but no one will ever read it anyway”.

“Never say no,” Eva mocked at him.

"If they do, they're unlikely to be able to do it again, no matter what." He looked up at Eva, stopping writing.

“You should show this to the other warlocks in the Tower. We'll find out if you're right”.

“No.”

“Oh, c’mon! I dare you”!

“NO,” Iberis sounded pissed here.

“Ok, ok…” Eva rolled her eye.

Iberis stretched in his chair. He looked at the plants on the desk. He stretched out his hand towards one of the buds turning slowly from green to white. Exo's hand glowed with white light. It moved like smoke, rising up and gone to nowhere. It was accompanied by small dots that appeared and disappeared every now and then like glitter. Eva, at the sight, rose from the ledge to be able to see better.

Iberis touched the bud gently with his finger. The light moved onto the plant and was drawn inside. A few moments passed and the flower fully bloomed, revealing a snowy white. “Peony?” Eva asked, flying down to him.

“Yes,” Iberis continued to stare at the plant. “You know I like them.”

Eva turned her gaze to a flower like him. They were silent for a moment.

“I think … I think that if you shared your knowledge with others, maybe they would help you,” the little ghost again tried to continue the previously raised topic.

“I've already looked for information in libraries, if was or is there any guard with similar abilities,” Iberis spoke to her after a moment. “There wasn't a single mention. Most are just about the battles, weapons, and discoveries of the Golden Age. Almost nothing about botany. Anyway, even if…” He fell silent.

“Even if?” Eva flew closer.

“What would I say to them?” He looked at her. "Instead of researching something useful like Asher Mir or Osiris, I spend my time on nonsense."

“Nonsense?”

Iberis sighed, trying to collect his thoughts.

“You know people take it a bit like… A womens hobby or something elders… I don't really want the other guardains to see me as some stupid fantasy fairy either. It does not work like that.”

“You're being dramatic again”.

"No." He looked at her. "Until I understand it better, I'd rather keep it a secret."

"I don't think I can convince you," Eva muttered.

"Not today," he laughed at her.

"And you've been playing around with 'you know'”.

“Oh this…” Iberis grabbed his neck. “‘Being Toph’?” He smiled at her.

“YES!” Eva flew up. “This is great! Think if you did that to a titan on a crucible! THAT WOULD BE AWESOME!”

beris laughed again at this, looking away at a nearby flower pot. Something grew in it, but unfortunately it died. Only potting soil remained.

“Look,” Iberis took the pot in his hand. He raised his free hand above the soil in the flowerpot. The same as before happened. The whole hand glowed with white light. The same thing happened with a clod of soil in a pot. After a moment, a pillar of the compacted ground came out of it. "It takes a lot of energy." Iberis lowered his hand. “I don't know what I'm doing wrong”.

''It can be improved …Slowly.” Eva looked at him. “But that big rock in the garden is great. I'm telling you, once you master it, everyone will be shocked!”

“If I master it…” muttered the warlock and lost his enthusiasm. “I don't know how to say it but … This play with plants and soil is terribly tiring,” he put down the pot. “Even for exo, we feel it less than humans and the awakened…”

“I noticed a long time ago. If you spend too much time on it, you sleep more, and you're generally like… I don't even know how to put it. Physically tired? I guess that's the wrong term…”

"I need to take a break before we get back to the Tower. What am I supposed to tell Zavala? I've been taking care of flowers over the days off and I'm tired now?”

“Well, you know… If you told him what YOU'RE doing here, then…”

“I know what you're up to, but my answer is still no.”

“How would you describe it only to ME and no one else? So far, what have you managed to… find,” Eva didn’t give up easily.

“I don’t know. It’s too much. …but I also don't want to be like Asher and his countless books about Vex from Io. I guess only people obsessed like him read it. He probably wouldn't like the way I take notes and why I do it at all. ‘Will this save our galaxy’? I DON'T KNOW”.

“But what would you say to ME? ME!” She flew closer to him as he arranged the books in a pile. The largest was at the bottom and the smallest at the top.

"That I'm not some stupid fairy or boring-beautiful elf who can do magic. I won’t make a whole oak forest out of one acorn. It doesn't work like that and I doubt it ever will.”

“All right, all right. So… What more would you say? It's a really nice start that explains a lot of things but… What's next?”

Iberis put his hands on the desk so that the wood creaked. After a while he began to say: “The light I use is not like the ones used by the guards. Void, arc and solar. Not fit for combat. It's more of a kind of… Booster, battery, 'fast charging'. I can accelerate the growth of the plant and control its appearance or stage of development to some extent, but there are also great limitations to this. If the environmental factors don't match its requirements, then I don't expect good results…”

“Okay, but now say it that everyone understands,” Eva interrupted him because… She no longer understood him.

Iberis-3 sighed. But then he picked up a pot of peonies on the desk.

“Look, it's a peony, from Latin 'paeonia'. A popular garden flower. The Last City is full of them. Peonies like the soil to be so-called 'acidic', 5-6ph, if I remember correctly… Anyway, if I plant it in a different type of soil, it won't bloom even with my support. I can't make it do what I want without providing the conditions it needs." He put the plant back in its place. “Same with fruiting species. I can get them to bloom but they will never bear fruit. I won't pollinate them. That's what wind and insects are for. However, if this happens, I’ll speed up the development of the fruit to maturity. However, I don't do it because fruits taste like paper or has no flavor. I don't know about the nutritional values and if it's not harmful to ordinary people at all, but you know … I'm a robot and a guardian protected by my light,” he spread his hands. “There are so many other things I could talk about for hours”.

"What you said is a nice start," Eva flew closer to him. “What about ‘be like Toph’? "Uh…" He looked at her slightly confused. "I just visualizes it in my head and… This is actually happening somehow. Probably I need to read about the types of soil ‘cuz maybe it also has some meaning …” he pondered. “It was the same with plants. I had fun at the beginning and then … Somehow it just went,” he spread his hands helplessly. Eva looked up at the patched glass roof of the greenhouse. The first stars were already appearing in the sky.

“Sometimes I'd like to ask the Traveler how it terraformed a planet…” Iberis spoke again. “Maybe that would make it easier for me.”

“Have you had any dreams with it lately?”

“Since it was wounded in the Red War, it has been silent. Ikora has exactly the same as she once mentioned.

“Does she know about your dreams?”

“No, and I don't want her to know.”

“Why?”

“BECAUSE NO”.

Eva jumped back abruptly hearing the annoyed voice of her guardian.

“Sorry," Iberis wiped his face by hands. “It just annoys me for so long. Why did the Traveler give me these powers? Why didn't I ask the Speaker about the Traveler when he was still alive? I feel like I'm just wasting all these… Chances."

"Hey, you've already done a lot yourself already." Eva approached him again. "If there really wasn't someone like you before, I don't think they'd help you. You worked it out yourself and you're still working. Remember that you’re a young guardian. I resurrected you for the first time a few years ago. A lot of warlocks with achievements like Ikora or Asher have been around for a hundred or two hundred years. Please, don't be so hard on yourself.”

“Don't get me wrong…” began the white exo. “Someday I’ll tell others about it, but I don't feel like I'm ready for it now or it would it be a good time. I want to understand it better before I do it. Ok?” "Okay," Eva replied. “I'm just worried about you. What if you'll be never ready according to you? What if it's an endless excuse? Your perfectionism and 'what other people will think' will finish you off one day.”

Iberis fell silent and looked at the floor of the greenhouse. It was a good point.

“Hey BeeBee,” Eva flew up to him, nudging him gently on the head. “Go to sleep. You need to rest. I must have tired you too much with this conversation. You've already been working hard in the garden all day.”

Iberis was silent again.

"I have a mess in my head as hell," he finally said.

“Then what are you waiting for? Go to sleep. Now”

Here I saw that you dropped this so I came into your inbox to return it to you 🖊️ (give me any precious OC you have in stock I wanna Know about them)

ty for the ask!! (eats 🖊 whole) everything is below :]

i shall talk about devin for 2day.. my token failboy. God

he's from earth Except it Sucks!! because he's ostracized a lot and has no friends💔 he will often come home and indulge himself in a bunch of his hobbies like drawing ,writing , making music, he's literally just the art kid. he was into a lot of fantasy and imagining himself in those kinds of worlds, doing lots of heroics , yeah you see where this is going . The irony

his only company is his mom which he doesn't mind too much, but it's led him to develop a very self centered attitude (he focused more on himself because he didn't have other people to empathize with if that makes sense?)mf never learned how to share

he ends up in the spiral because there was an urgent situation where mana was flooding into earth, quinn was sent to deal with it. he was worried that devin absorbed it because he could sense his magic and also wanted to save him because devin had some weird negative aura cast on him Somehow (effects include nausea and blurry vision, headaches to anyone nearby, fun all around) quinn was like What Is Going On, panicked, and took him along. worried about this decision later because what if the teachers flip . the plan was just to help devin and bring him back home (uhh very long groan. because this is wizard101 we all know the latter didn't happen)

coming into the spiral has changed devin a Lot for better and for worse. he felt guilty for leaving his mom behind, and she disappeared when he came back to visit. he was excited to learn magic but i think the realization settled in after he killed a man (malistaire)

as the arcs go on he has friends now! finally a circle of people who will accept him. he learns what empathy is because of that! hes still silly and loud but he becomes selfless, a bit more mature and level headed. but he feels like he's become "too selfless" to the point where he's going a little nuts ? always being self sacrificing just to save everyone if possible? the yw pipeline. he wishes he could settle down for A Minute to use his hands to create art again not destroy things . gwah.

just wait until he hears about azteca🙄

he learns his dad is the giant tree and his mom straight up stole him when he was like 3 or something and took him away . Crazy. he's conflicted by the fact that he's being shaped into a weapon by no matter who it is? his mom or the spiral? (his mom is a completely different can of worms I will not be getting to rnLOL but yeah she was just plotting to use him for selfish reasonz) he doesn't like knowing he was born for the sake of (all the horrors he's had to deal with. Erm?) and wants to have an identity seperate from that. his friends remind him that he's still just a human being too. he's doing his best

he delved more into astral magic around arc 3 which was not by choice. at all. (crazy woman told him to . idk why but ihave a lot of evil wizarfd women) and he should not have learned that much but he did! uhmwhoops. it's hazardous. it does not just enhance spells -he could accidentally fuck up time and space. he's learning how to control it with eden and lalin because he needs to eventually. does not actually go to the arcanum scholar about it because he's terrified of seeming like a threat to them

hypothetically he could time travel but that's for his super secret alternate version who's stuck in a time loop we don't worry about that guy

devin's other path would've been a villain if quinn never dragged him into the spiral,, he was missing and people were looking for him but it was near impossible to find him because of the aura he had going on. ambrose's spell wouldn't have worked. (his mom was taking a lot of precautions) it was just known that the scion was out there and he needs to get his ass in the spiral asap or we're all fucked (quinn standing there like 🧍‍♂️as if he isn't ambrose's errand boy)

devin's alternate self is aware of him and is supposed to show/answer "which life would've been better for him". since he's obviously not having a care free time in both

dasein kinda reached him around empyrea because of the astral magic stuff sorta fucking with reality but it was very limited

oh and his eyes turn from full purple to a tint of blue he's got stardust hands now. it's "contagious" and he can flick his hands onto anything and get glitter all over it, he does it a lot on his friends . his blood is also glitter. somebody help him. pros: glitter. Cons: black holes. is it worth it

he's trying to start a silly band.. only amari and erin will join nd they will never stop annoying the others about it

devin is good at the storm spells, but the machines related stuff that his teacher assigns? not at all.so he cheats and asks for eden to do it

his pet is a zappy glowbug who's always scared of everything and frequently flies into glass. it acts as his nightlight. it's also probably radioactive . it can charge your devices but they have a chance of exploding. has also probably electrocuted people

hi, regarding your recent post, i dont wanna come off as rude but, look at this

content creators like you create content for a reason. some do it for money (by charging people money for their work) some do to pursue a hobby during their free time. im assuming youre one of them too, so why is 'getting interaction', or in other words, clout, so important to you? aren't you guys doing this for your own satisfaction? if you really think your content deserves to be seen and appreciated by EVERYONE out there, then why not make it more serious and make it a career? if you yourself choose to come on, as you said, a FREE site like tumblr, shouldn't you know it well that maybe your work wont be appreciated?

again, i dont mean hate, im genuinely curious.

hi lovely anon!

yeah everything here is free and some creators would ask payment in exchange of their work. let me tell you again, WE DON'T FORCE ANYONE to read our work, but if you read our works maybe leave a reblog or something to reach out those people who wanted to read. that's the interaction i'm talking about, you see we do everything here for free, yeah you're right. we do it for our own satisfaction unless we want money tho we could take our works on another level. i think you don't understand the point? and it's not for clout actually. yeah, i know not everyone appreciates our work we're talking about those who read, and leave likes. it is important to give feedbacks from your reader and it's not too much to ask right? i mean it's up to you if you want to help the author/content creator to reach their target audience. this isn't about making a career tho. yeah we write for fun, we create to share, but that doesn't mean you'll leave us out in the ditch just because this is a free site and it's our hobby? actually, once you give reblogs and feedbacks, it is actually a big help for us to be motivated and continue. maybe reach an audience. idk if you're a content creator or a reader tho. i used to think just like you back then but then the app doesn't work with just likes bub. if you want to reach an audience then do something. it's annoying to have someone like me ranting about this right? but trust me, it's more annoying that you have a ton of followers who doesn't even care of your work. yeah you live to share your talent and your hobby, we're not asking too much, and it's not for clout. i'm actually tired of this bullshit going on but as a writer myself, i get motivated from having interactions with my post especially when i receive feedbacks from my readers.

a lot of content creators have done the same but some of the people here don't even understand how it affects us. even if we had to play this all over again, nothing changes, i guess we have to stop reminding you guys about it? and if you're telling me to go make it a career, yeah probably i should instead of being annoying around here right? i could have gone to a book publishing company or stay in wattpad or somewhere else. but i'm not only speaking for myself. it's really annoying how people treat you around here. like i said, i don't usually post a rant that long but seeing my other moots who are way more better than me getting a few feedbacks and just getting likes hurts me you know? people like them deserves more recognition or maybe it was just our mistake coming here at all.

i hope i answered your question?
