finally it is time for my Killer Dolphins Masterpost. from a director (author?) credited only as "The Dude", it's a series of films and maybe comics in sr1 (and 2) that Boss seemingly enjoys. the series "debuted" with what is either a trilogy or a tetralogy that has posters scattered around the city

besides the original Killer Dolphins ("Coming Soon"), there's the sequel, Killer Dolphins 2 (This Time, They Want Babies)

this one is "Coming Later"

then there's the unnumbered Killer Dolphins: Rise of the Sail that also claims to be a sequel to the original film. it's being shown at the Peep This movie theater during the game's events

then finally, as the crown jewel of a trilogy or maybe a tetralogy, we get to the good stuff. some prime mid 00s humor. Killer Dolphins 3: Mecha Dolphins of Doom

coming this century! there's probably gonna be monkeys and waffles in it too if we're very lucky! also did i mention the numbered movies have actually already come out on dvd

but thats not all. a tiny probably unused and just barely readable texture states that the Killer Dolphins in fact has FIFTEEN parts in total, so these three or four films are merely the very tip of the iceberg that is The Dude's genius

(it's really hard to read but it really does say "Part 1-15")

only the first few films are ever actually advertised in the game though, and it does make me wonder if the series originated as a comic book series. i'm basing this mostly on the Killer Dolphins 3 thing Boss has in their shithole crib in sr1 AND in the hotel in sr2, which is not the size of a dvd case but rather a magazine (and they don't have a dvd player anyways)

this most definitely means something and isn't just a random asset someone added for flavor without really thinking about it

anyways, as an obvious Killer Dolphins superfan Boss must've been just as disappointed as all us players that sr2 didn't introduce any new KD stuff - no new movies, just asset reuse - EXCEPT for one thing (afaik): a Killer Dolphins 3 pinball machine. the third movie must've been a hit, it does sound like a real period piece

as a final note, V also found use for one KD asset in sr2 that was already in sr1's files, but went unused as far as i could see. you can find a cute little Killer Dolphin statue being sold at the marina boardwalk and i guess the implication is that they're specifically bootlegs being sold as souvenirs!

and that's the Killer Dolphins. they didn't even add any KD stuff to the logo options in sr2. for shame

(yagi-no-eda here~)

Totally would circle back /pos. I’m also pretty new to the fandom!

My wife has liked Usagi Yojimbo and associated stuff for years but it’s only this summer that my brain has allowed me to really get into it, and make it past the first 2-3 comics. Not for lack of trying - it was just never the right time in an ADHD way*. Something always would distract me. I’ve inhaled all the comics I can in just the last couple of months and yeah, Stan came at me with a steel chair too. I did not expect …this whole situation. I’ve been a fandom lurker since 1999 and yet suddenly I have blog I use near daily, a sketchbook, and bunch of fic WIPS...

Mainly because I am Unwell over UY.

I have accepted my fate. This is always going to be a Thing now.

Though I did admittedly also inhale TMNT 2003 and Rise.

Travels with Jotaro is one of my favourite volumes, but I’m also weirdly into Bridge of Death rn and just….in general having a moment over Usagi’s time with Mifune. To the point I’m doodling intros for a fake show called The Mifune Years. He had this whole expected future and friends - denied.

* to be fair this is also the summer I found out its def ADHD driving this media analysis machine I call a brain

Hope this was an okay way to get back to you! /lil anxious

Feel free to network (or share thoughts) in my tags anytime, I love hearing what other people think. Also happy to chat anytime. Or feel free to tell me to back off and that's chill too :)

(been waiting to answer this for when i had more time but gave in; should be working on my fic(s) but you know how it is lmao. stay tuned for a very long post, because i love talking about things with people, especially things i like haha

very cool to see another person very passionate about this series! i grew up on 2003 (and the 90's movies-- my parents had the third one on cassette and i remember i wore that fucker out lmao) but it was always more of a "scattered interest" rather than something i was fully pulled into

i started getting into rise (read: The Algorithm came for me) probably mid-July of last year, but didn't fully fall into it until after the movie came out. it renewed my interest in tmnt overall, and i've been here ever since!

i did attempt to watch the usagi chronicles a couple of times, and i remember thinking they were fun but not really my thing. (i definitely want to revisit it, even though i know it won't hold a candle to usagi yojimbo. it does look fun in a silly way, which i can get behind.)

i knew vaguely about how big usagi yojimbo was, and that it was a commitment, but i'm surprised how quickly it sucked me in. i've never been super interested in stuff within the genre, but damn if it doesn't satisfy the autism. entire chapters devoted to infodumping about the edo period of japan? sign me the fuck up!

i especially did not expect how much it would make me feel. like. wow. ouch. usagi is just Some Guy but he is also so well characterized and you really feel for his internal conflict, 10/10.

i've been looking for series with older protagonists, especially those more focused on the familial/platonic aspect rather than romantic (i am just an nd queer on the interweb, can you blame me for yearning for found family?), but hadn't found any i really liked other than the tarot sequence by kd edwards (very good read, would highly recommend.)

also not to be a nerd but ohhhh my god i am so obsessed with the plot with mifune.

like i know the series takes place after that, and after the fallout of that, but just. wow. imagine devoting your entire being to another, to the point where you would readily die for them and their word, and then they die. they die, and you did everything you could to honor them in that death, but they're still gone.

like... that emptiness stays with you. you don't just get over that. maybe it's the "being raised in a cult" but wow, do i empathize with that.

idk if we explore more about the fallout/exact history with mifune/immediately following mifune's death but there is so much writing potential there. if i was not embroiled within turtle hell and 50,000 words deep in a multi-chapter fic already, i would absolutely write something for it.

like. this is adjacent to your interest in the topic, but can you just imagine (/rhetorical /general you.) as far as we know, he spent five days on the battlefield before he made it out to the tangled skein.

(which is one of my favorite additions like good god holy shit. that is so cool and angsty. your lord, days after dying, appears as a fucking ghost and saves you. like, if i were to be silly and funky, i would absolutely headcanon that as the reason that he was able to stand up and continue on. because i mean... what else? what else could motivate you to stand up once more after something like that?)

(well. honor. but mifune is the physical manifestation of honor in the narrative, so same difference? it's like both thematically significant and emotionally significant and-- ok im shutting up now. but i could talk for days, istg.)

but like. how do you reconstruct yourself from that? we see him holding tight to this sense of honor, even after his lord is gone, sent reeling (adrift in the waves) with only his soul and moral compass to hold to.

which makes it hurt so much more when we see these ideals of honor-- this ghost of a man, of a life, still haunting him years after the event-- still woven through the narrative, made to specifically conflict his deepest wants.

i joke about it a lot on my fic discord (i have a whole channel called 'father-material' devoted to just pictures of him hanging out with/taking care of kids), but something that seems very important to him is wanting to be a father figure, and wanting these connections to family and friends.

but that is contrasted against these ideas of honor, the very thing he built and rebuilt his foundation off of after it was torn away from him. and it's just so incredibly painful but also it makes sense, because he can't just give up the side of himself that is a samurai. too much of his person, his characterization, is built off of this.

to see it constantly clash with this want to settle down and finally rest, devote himself to his relationships/family rather than the code of bushido-- the very essence of honor itself-- ourgh ourgh ourgh its so good

(put aside the fact that he once said he could never serve another lord, and we know from the story that the idea of a "lord" can be more than just a person... he never stopped serving mifune, not truly. he still upholds the ideas of honor that mifune stood for/represented. as if his lord never truly left him.)

...i was going to say more, but then i realized this turned into a whole-ass mini-analysis, so i'm forcing myself to stfu. but basically: i have feelings about this series, man (/gender neutral).

anyway. if you ever do put something together, i would love to read/follow it! if i ever wrote something, it would probably be exploring the direct fallout of losing mifune, so hey, different niches but similar (:

also: never be anxious about talking to me ever in any way possible. i will probably be even more annoying than you in tags/asks/everything under the sun, and i do genuinely love talking to people who share my interests (typically about those interests.) i like to pretend i am an internet Cool Guy, however, it is a flimsy veneer to hide all the cringefail swaglessness and unending mental illness about my blorbos

(...i am so tempted to just invite you to my og turtle discord server so i can annoy you about usagi on the regular. also about what my reimagining of yuichi would be, because i have so, so many ideas.

i will refrain, but if you would be interested, it has been kinda dead as of late, so it would be nice to enrich the ecosystem a little by slowly collecting other usagi-interested individuals and slowly taking it over, one by one (/j /lh).)

anyway, same thing goes for me with my posts/asks/reblogs/messages/whatever. i am so very earnest, so if that puts you off, that's very chill and fine. however, as long as you're down to vibe, i am similarly down to vibe >:D

i once more apologize for this monstrosity of a reply. i would say it won't happen again, but my reading comprehension apparently does not extend to the "all things in moderation" maxim. instead i choose maximalism (to the max)

(sorry for that joke. yeah that will also happen again. sorry. /lh /pos)

It's been a night of near-death, poor decisions, and revelations, but with the fight against the Red Goblin behind them, Flash Thompson convinced Eddie Brock (and the recently-returned Venom Symbiote) to do him the favor of staying the night. It's been a rough evening, after all, and he doesn't want to be alone.

I'm so so late on "end of year" wrap up stuff! Here's what I finished in December.

Romance:

Tanked by Mia Hopkins: fine. Liked the first 2 books better.

The Missing Page and Tommy Cabot Was Here by Cat Sebastian: I could read a dozen books in the Page & Sommers series, basically they are gay cozy mysteries set just post WW2. Tommy Cabot was also a good second chance romance.

Fire Season by KD Casey: gay baseball romance, really really good. I'll be reading the other in the series

Comics:

Saga, Volume 10: worth the wait. If anything was going to make me start buying floppies again it's this series.

Miracleman Book 1: A Dream of Flying: very 80s comic, reminded me a bit of Watchmen, but there was a lot going on that I assume is explained in later volumes. Will probably continue.

Manga:

Our Dining Table by Mita Ori: an incredibly sweet gay romance. Just really really wonderful.

Yakuza Lover vol 1 & 2 by Nozomi Mino: so I've never read manga smut before? I kinda want more actual story but I may go ahead and continue.

I also read a nonfiction book How to Break Up With Your Phone by Catherine Price. If I want to implement the stuff from this book i'll need to get a physical copy. It's really about being intentional and mindful about phone use.

Lastly, last Christmas I got a book for my daughter: Tiger, Tiger, Burning Bright!: An Animal Poem for Each Day of the Year, edited by Fiona Waters and illustrated by Britta Teckentrup. So starting on January 1, 2022, every night as part of bedtime we read a poem; and on December 31 we finished the book. This book is so beautiful! Every double page spread has between 1-5 poems, usually with a theme, like arctic animals or savannah animals. It was a really fun little thing to do to start bedtime each night.

I'll update my yearly totals tomorrow.

Soo another fanart for the blog @askcupsandcasinos.

I didn't want to post it at first, but then the blog changed of owner and I thought it would be cool to share it now.

I'm not even sure if that's how it happened in the AU, so considered it as my headcanon as why king dice redecorated the casino. It was a hell of a fun to draw this actually.

(As always, English is not my first language and I suck at making comic, so please go easy on me)

My handwriting may be a bit... challenging to read, so I'm putting the dialogues under the cut

Somewhere in Inkwell isle

Devil: You ready for your new life ?

KD: Yeah

D: Good, welcome ... to the Casino !

KD: ...wut? You're calling this a casino ??

D: Well yeah, my casino

KD: This is so dark, so un-invinting ! I feel depressed just by looking at it

I can feel my strength leaving me...

D: you ok ?

KD: I will redecorate this entire building !

D: sigh

Wheezy: Boss, who's that freak ? He's running and shouting like hell. Should I call the security ?

KD: *aggressively shaking a customer* Why are you even here ?? Are you depressed ??

D: He's the new manager of the casino from now. I let the presentation to you !

W: Wait what?? When did you decide that ?

D: Just now!

KD: this is so ugly !

W: I don't like him

fab nygmobblepot moments that remind you of kd uwu

OMGGGG AHDAHDUIADHAD

I want to use this moment to be sorry to everyone that follows me but keeps seeing my blog full of Nygmobs/Smaylor instead of kaisoo. I usually don’t get attached to otps like this and it happened in an unexpected way for me. But it’s here and I need to compensate for all the years I didn’t watch Gotham and had no idea about Nygmobs spamming everyone and making my heart warm.

But in general, nygmobblepot isn’t a vision of ideal relationship. Both Edward and Oswald (their surnames Cobblepot and Nygma were the ones who originated this name) are stupid and do stupid shit to each other during most of the series. So, a lot of moments related with the actors counterpart (Robin is the actor who plays Oswald and Cory who plays Ed) reminds me of kaisoo more. But a warning here! Although they have a HUGE chemistry on and off screen, they’re mostly friends. Robin is married for almost ten years so it doesn’t mean their closeness is romantic or sexual. But still, some details remind me of kd.

Similarities with nygmobs:

Height difference: it applies to Smaylor as well because it’s their height but it’s really visible in the series. Cory is a bit taller than JI I think and Robin is like 1.65 but KS is not that taller (I can’t believe he’s 1.73 at all, sorry). But, again, this factor is evident during the series and in some moments and it’s cute.

(the way he moves his feet to reach Ed’s head ;_;)

(when they hug, Oswald barely reaches his shoulders [their hugs are the equivalent to kisses in Gotham])

the closest gif I could find where we can see kd’s height difference without me stealing other people’s gifs.

Penguin reference? That’s pretty obvious. Of course I didn’t start shipping nygmobs because one of them is small and has the Penguin nickname but it made so much easier for me to read some of their fics with kd as characters because they fit the profile so much! And also, I believe KD would totally fit the “murder husbands�� couple if someone did a fanfic where they just kill everyone. The closest I remember of a fanfic with this criteria is Juice Pouche where Kyungsoo is a vampire and he protects Jongin and Jongin is kind of badass as well. But the kd fandom needs more fics like this. There’s also “(Before the night is over) come see me” where KS is also a vampire and JI a young werewolf but it focuses more on their relationship than a murder husbands idea Gotham shows so well.

How they met: Gotham’s history has a lot of differences if you compare with other universes, so keep that in mind. In Gotham, Ed works with GCPD but doesn’t feel like himself with the good side. Oswald is the character that spices things up and is a rage of death and destruction and manipulation. But Oswald is infatuated with Jim Gordon (so isn’t the first time it’s implied Penguin is gay) but he goes to the police department to see him. Ed sees him and wants to talk to him no matter the cost. And he does that... And things don’t end that friendly for him because Oswald thinks he’s a weirdo and asks him to fuck off, basically. It reminded me of kd’s first meeting where KS was the one admiring JI all along but JI get frightned. But, during their second meeting, they bond and become friends. For Nygmobs it takes more time for their second meeting but they end up developing and being in good terms :’)

Their personas, sort of: Ed is the tall one, younger and logic. Oswald is the oldest, smaller and that thinks with his heart. I love how JI could show the more logic side of himself during the last few years and, again, while reading Nygmobs fics using kd names, it was easy to fit the profile for me (that was during the time I wasn’t too deep into nygmobs and I didn’t knok them that well. KS looks cold and deatached and that’s why many people got impressed when he said, during Knowing Bros that he would choose love over friendship. He doesn’t play the part but, considering all the context, it fits him pretty well and reading this description of Oswald made me so familiar because it fits KD well. Ofc I don’t know their private lives and whatever but it’s just the impression I had as a viewer and random person;

Drama issue: when I say drama here, it’s related with how people percieve the two OTPs and how different people visualize LGBT relationship in media. Nygmobblepot had a lot of drama involved because they’re the fucking Riddler and Penguin, two of the most famous Batman villains. People saw them in different sorts of media before and others idolize those characters because of videogames and comics. So, when Oswald mentioned expressedly that he was in love with Edward, it caused an uproar in the fandom. People accused the producers and Robin of messing with the comic canon because the fucking Penguin became gay??? Robin was outspoken about the homophobia behind those statements since he’s a gay man himself but yeah, the drama existed. Part of the people invovled with the series rooted for Nygmobblepot, including some writers and the actors (Cory was the one with ambiguous messages about the nature of their relationship but it’s not even close what happened with other series like Supergirl, Supernatural and Sherlock). But it was aired by FOX, a right wing channel and, as you may imagine, they didn’t become canon per se. Actually, after Oswald said he was in love with Ed and planned on confessing to him, the writers presented a clone of Ed’s ex girlfriend with no explanation and purpose, only to separate them for most part of the series future. After that, some people seemed to have FORGOTTEN Oswald was once in love with Edward, rationalizing many things that are hard to explain with a “bro explanation”, they had a scene where the characters would have evolved even more but it was CUTTED and CHANGED and execs added the sentence “we’re brothers” to make EXPLICIT that Nygmobblepot’s relationship wouldn’t be interpreted as a romance at the end of the series (but, honestly, the actors went for the romance path anyway, the deleted scenes and the final episode can’t convince me otherwise).

What’s related with KD, may you ask? I think you’re familiar with all the drama KD faced since 2016 and how many stuff exploded during that time. How many parts are involved into creating a certain image and shifting it to be appealing and “friendly” is similar with what happens with idols. It’s no secret now about many scandals of bullying and other issues that are considered problematic and how they need to be pushed under the rug for companies so idols can make money and be profitable. Especially for male idols, it’s important that they are viewed as desirable and an object of the fans affections. That’s why he needs to be handsome and kind and look like a person that doesn’t exist. If an idol is openly gay, this person isn’t viewed by the major public with the same interest because they can’t fit the fantasy. That’s why scandals involving idols being gay need to be forgotten and deleted from people’s minds, otherwise that celebrity is ostracized. Although we tend to see the Ocident as “progressive”, there’s similar things happening in that industry. If a celebrity is openly LGBT, they don’t receive certain roles or opportunities because of it. There’s still a huge stigma that needs to be broken and we, as a society, are so far way from it. But recognizing those differences exist it’s a step forward.

Similarities with Smaylor

For me, one of the reasons Nygmobblepot works so well is because of the actors. They portrait a good chemistry because of their friendship off screen and some non verbal signs they display around each other are amazing. Those are things that remind me more of KD as we see them in a lot of moments. So, I wanted space to show those comparisons below:

Mutual admiration: it’s something both Smaylor and KD display a LOT and is extrememly outspoken. I really love watching their old interviews because the affection and admiration is so genuine it makes me drawn to them despite not being romantically involved.

(full gifset)

(there are more moments than these but I don’t want to steal gifs and there’s not much on the gif research and that sucks. Same with KD’s).

Stares and touches: Robin was the responsible for the deep stares and Cory for the random touches. There’s so many gifs of it that is hilarious. It’s like JI divided himself in two cells because we know he’s more known for both >.<

(Cory was touching Robin all the way during this interview rip)

(the gifset!!!)

You’re pretty moment: Robin, like KS, is the one that mentions about Cory/JI’s physical attributes. They have a moment pretty similar and, for KD its famous among shippers:

(gif link)

(actually, Robin called Cory dashingly handsome but its okay)

Cory lost it

There’s another series of gifsets with Robin calling Cory handsome LMAOO

:))))

Synchronization: for specialists in body language, it’s a factor that shows two people are close. That’s because of the mirror neurons we have that makes us copy movements, actions or words that someone we have empathy/we are close with do or say. Both kd and smaylor do this and it’s really soft.

(one of the classics)

(classic 2)

whole gifset (i love this interview so much)

(gif)

The fact the actors came up with their OTP names: people tend to forget that KD’s real otp name (according with Jongin) is dika. Cory also came up with Nygmobblepot name and Smaylor too <3

So, meanwhile Nygmobs has thropies that work a lot with KD AUs, Smaylor has healthy dynamics seen in public appearances KD made. Like I said above, there’s a huge polemic about shipping Smaylor romantically because Robin is married. On social media, is visible he loves his husband and it’s pretty cute to see. Cory himself mentioned that their relationship was sort of a platonic friendship (whatever that means) but it’s really genuine in terms of affections and display of admiration, something KD has as well.

Probably someone will question that it may changed the way I see KD or if now I ship them as bros. Nothing about that changed. With KD, although there are some similar details, there are internal AND external factors that made me support them in a romantic perspective in the first place. And it didn’t change.

But both of them (Nygmobs too) make me feel that I’m testimoning something genuine, which is really hard in both kpop and media universes. In one side, we have a LOT of fanservice. And, in the other, it’s mostly a work interaction with lots of queerbating. Yes, Gotham has queerbating aspects in it but it’s not full of queerbating, if it makes sense. The message the actors and some writers wanted to convey are there and really display a romantic direction with character evolution and growth. And, considering the way media is nowadays, it’s nice to see.

JFC, can we make the antis crawl back under their rocks in shame already? I’m so done with their bullshit. Someone read the tags and description of my fic and found that, while the summary sounded interesting, since the tags said Tom Holland was my Spidey, and is an ADULT in the fic, they couldn’t bring themselves to read it because of the ~age difference. And then, rather than just continuing to browse and find a different fic, they decided to COMMENT on my fic about this dilemma they’re facing and how I should have used a different Spidey.

I am so fucking over this attitude among some in the spideypool fandom, where even though all the actors are playing a character of the same relative age, Andrew Garfield is okay to ship with Deadpool because the *actor* is older. I’m just so bewildered by this rational. He was still playing a teenager??? And whether TH or AG, or even TM is your Spidey, they were all kids when they got their powers, and they are all aged up in the fics, so the age of the actor doesn’t even matter.

And while we’re on the topic of AG being okay b/c he was older when he played the (TEENAGED) role, honestly, I find the trend of casting much older actors to play teenagers more problematic than anything. When you cast an almost 30 year old man to play a 15-17 year old, or a woman in her mid-twenties (as ES and KD were as Gwen and MJ respectively) as a 16, you’re giving both kids and adults the wrong idea about the physical and psychological development teenagers. People get so used to seeing full-grown adults portraying teens and kids start setting unrealistic expectations for themselves, how they should look and behave. And grownups come to think of kids of that age as more mature and developed than they actually are.

There’s just so much hypocrisy from these people, I can’t imagine what goes on in their heads to rationalise their arguments. It’s not okay to ship Tom Holland in Spideypool because he was underage when he started the role. Now it’s not okay because even though he’s 24, he’s playing an underage character. But since Andrew Garfield was an adult when he started the role, it’s okay to ship him, even though his character was underage, too. Like, are you not hearing yourselves??

Look, read whatever the fuck you want, but stay off my damn lawn. I find the TM movies dated and though I feel they honoured the comics, TM DOES NOT fic my idea of Spidey. The AG films were better, but I found AG himself to be a giant dickhead, rude instead of friendly, self-absorbed, and don’t even get me started on the way he treats Gwen. The MCU films, for all their faults, are the closest to the sort of Spider-Man universe and characterisation that I WANT for my fics. Why is that such a difficult fucking concept?

Any ocs you have that you don't really talk much about these days?

OOOO Now this is an ask I absolutely can get behind with >:]c! So proceed with the read more with caution bc I might just as well go into LENGTHY rambling...

Explorer (TF2):

I really looked at the TF2 classes and went “you know what would be a really good idea, a 10th class OC of a astronaut with alien parasite :]” This poor soul is named Jack O’Malley, a Irish born dude with a lot of dreams to visit space. He decided to move out of his home country to live in the States for schooling. After the graduation, he applied for NASA to get a position from there.

He didn’t expected a contact from secret service regarding about wanting to send him into the atmosphere of Earth. It was reported that there was a foreign object in the orbit. Jack just didn’t care, he wanted to see the stars for himself so he took the position.

Long story short, he came back from the atmosphere with a unwelcomed guest and got taken in as a experiment. The scientists knew they have to keep him so they informed the O’Malley family that Jack died for the country. The rumors started to spread to one of Mann brothers’ and he decided to send for mercs to fetch the experiment.

Now Jack is the 10th class and felt very belonging to the team. Yea he got fucked up trauma now but hey! At least he’s having some beers and singing along

Ned Sealington:

He was inspired by me looking at a lot of baby Harper Seal pictures years ago. He was the main character of the FlipNotes I always made when I was younger and it was titled “Adventures of Ned the Seal”. Even gave him the role of security guard in Five Nights at Freddy’s during my fanmade comics era, I was truly powerful back then...

So every now and then, I think about him and I go “I miss that little dude, I love him :]”

Grimmson:

Grimmson, preferably Grimm, is obviously Grim Reaper who accidentally got hired as a mascot of a 20s cartoon, hence the appearance. But he decided not to point out the mistake since the job does pay a lot, supporting his habit of collecting man made objects. He’s a collector himself so he has a room of his own to keep those things in :]c

He’s pretty laid-back and really chill with souls he collected and minions who serve under him. Grimm is not too strict with things but does keep things uptight since he doesn’t want another earful from Life herself.

Astraea Gears:

She’s the main protagonist of ongoing story, The Solar Revolutions! She’s a fearless leader who has an talent for pressing buttons to set people off and willing to protect her group even if they’re head-to-head over things. Did I mention that she’s a transwoman :]c? The original groundwork of the TSR did went through a lot of changes that I decided to assign her a different identity, keeping her own girlfriend!

Scow Webb:

I love this dude a lot, I absolutely do, I will wife him so hard!

He’s a very down to earth dude out of his friends while respecting his family legacy and farming tradition. Scow is a spirit possessing a scarecrow and his death wasn’t that gentle since he perished in fire. So yeah, he’s kind of stuck to the scarecrow and made himself immortal. He did appeared in some short comics and writings, but I scarcely draw him than I wanted to, I really love him a lot.

King Drapes:

One and the only bestest friend of Scow!

He’s not exactly a king himself but rather a title he decided to take it for himself. His origins is very confusing and I couldn’t even find a good one for him, so it just remains a mystery as always. Scow and he crossed their paths one day as if fate intended it since they will turn out to be really close friends.

In comparison to Scow, KD is a dude with high energy and really fun to hang around. He always want to see new things, new civilization and such since it have been years since he died and got brought back to life.

Markl Avem:

Lastly, this is a very special OC to me for various reasons! Under the title, The Midnight Train, he came from three brothers (found family trope) and worked under the head scientist, Schrodinger, on a research about different realms across universes. He has an ability to shift between human and humanoid bird, even an dragon bird as well! Given the history, he’s a very quiet guy but does care a lot about his brothers and people he met across the realms.

#whew this was a lot and i lost the original post for it #bc my dumbass closed the tab #but at least it does clear up some stuff and actually got ocs i want to share #so enjoy!#anonymous #Anonymous

Want to be featured here? Head to this page and fill in the form!

See what this is about here, or if you’re using the app here.

What's your fannish ID? Quietshade. I've been writing and in the fandom arena since the late 90s.

What types of fanworks do you create? I do Fics and art. I also started a comic, but this year has kept me too busy to continue. I hope to go back to it eventually. I'm also thinking of branching into visual novel territory since it involves my three passions, writing, drawing and video games.

What are your favourite types of fanworks, when you're not creating? Fics, I like reading the best.

What do you like in particular about this fandom? Hmm, I really like the ideas behind Daredevil. I think they managed to tell grounded and layered stories while mixing up the superhero genre and that really appealed to me. But mostly I've stayed because of the people I've met here. It's a really nice community. Regarding characters, ships and tropes. I am partial to Karedevil, but I love each one of Matt's relationships, and I find some joy in each of the characters. I love how human they are. They're flawed, they make mistakes, and they all struggled to find the best version of themselves. That's something I really appreciate. That's probably my favorite trope, if it can be called that. I just love seeing people overcome challenge and how that brings out the bets and the worst out of them. So I guess that's the kind of stories I prefer.

Do you like participating in fan events? Hmm, the short answer is yes. I enjoy it. I like interacting with people and I like the sense of community those events bring. But I'm also an introvert with some degree of social anxiety so these events tired me out pretty fast. I end up skipping a lot of them because I just don't have the energy to do them at a given time. I'm also part of the @karedevilsquad and admin the @karedevilbingo.

What about your creating process? My process is a mess, don't use me as an example please. Lol I'm the kind of person that zooms in and forgets about everything. When I'm in the mood I just sit down and everything pours out. I can spend hours and hours working without a break, but If I can't find that mood then I'm pretty much doing stuff at slug pace... I use music for inspiration, to get me into the zone, but once I'm there the music gets in the way. So yeah, I'm literally a case of whenever the muse strikes.

Do you interact a lot with other fans? I do, kind of. I have some regular fan friends I speak to a lot, but it is hard for me to speak to new fans. Sometimes I wish I didn't have such a hard time talking to new people, but I'm also very happy with the friends I already have.

Is there any particular piece you'd like to showcase for this post? I guess... I'm usually happy with whatever I made the last. Because anything new I make is a challenge I was able to overcome. So here is my latest work: https://qs63.tumblr.com/post/625844393518284800/the-sound-of-a-firework-explosion-woke-the-child I also created a small alt universe called Lucasverse, which features Matt and his OC (KD) kid. And also has frequent appearances from the other Defenders, Frank, Elektra, Spider-Man, and some of the Avengers. https://qs63.tumblr.com/tagged/lucasverse

Do you have other fandoms you'd like to talk about? Oh dear. All the sad boys/girls stories. I mean it. I really like the type of character driven stories with people who have had sad/difficult lives but are still kind and trying their best to make the world a happier place. Full Metal Alchemist, Fruits Basket, The promised Neverland, Final Fantasy 7, so many of Marvel and DC stories lol the list is too long.

Is there anything else you want to tell us about yourself? I guess... that English isn't my language... I'm sorry about all the mistakes you might find. ^-^'

Where can your fanworks be found? For art: https://qs63.tumblr.com/tagged/my-art For fics: https://archiveofourown.org/users/Quietshade

Thank you, @qs63!
