New header/banner thingie:

I wanted to doodle, and I diddly done did so.

(This banner might be temporary, but I do not yet know.)

Prepare yourselves for a massive doodle dump and discarded drafts.

Alphonse practice!

A sneak peak at Armstrong's design in the AU. He was inconvenient during the conflict in Ishvall and Bradley is a creepy egotist.

Some concept art followed by an unfinished drawing from way back when. Ed's design has since changed, as has my style, thus this drawing shan't be continued.

Ed keeps finding out about family secrets. Like that his shapeshifting half brother has a bazillion kids (Janice from one of the video games included).

Might actually remaster this draft- I kinda like it.

May have gone a little overboard with this ask hahahahaaaa... @wakerrife

If you are asking how to write ports from a story perspective:

Ports/prosthetics are still under lots of development in real life, which leaves such a big fantasy element to them for starters! Theres no right or wrong way to entirely depict them in stories you know? So theres my first advice, write them in a way that ties in to the theme of your story!

Slapping some good old FMA comparisons here since I saw you were a fan!

In FMA, when attaching the actual arm to the port its depicted as a very painful process that totally just takes the wind out of you for a while. This is since the whole motivation of that story is to retain the flesh arm back, shoving in your face how painful the ordeal is drives that motivation home and so that writing style makes complete sense!

In 2AL meanwhile, the whole story is about acceptance, therefore I opted not to have the whole ordeal of attaching/detaching the arm be a painful process. I wanted to drive home the idea that its is completely alright and normal for Leo to have a robot arm, as an every day painless thing just like a regular arm, and so my opting for it indeed being painless helped drive that theme of acceptance home

Meanwhile if you are asking from a more medical perspective:

I am going to be flat out honest and say I am pulling half of this out of my ass hahhaaa, apologies I have no resources since I did not put in much research! Most of what I say just comes from background knowledge, but hey do give me some slack here, I am a biology student who is still learning!

Although most of my inspiration for care and all, I actually loosely based off infected ear piercings believe it or not! For example, did you know if an earring gets too badly infected and is not removed in time, the ear can start re-growing around the piercing and just sorta,,, consume it?? Its entirely possible for nearly any foreign implant to get rejected by a body and I find that concept so cool. So hey there is food for thought, if you dont properly take care of a prosthetic port skin can start growing over it! Or the body can reject it!

I do have some more thoughts regarding care and such that ive been thinking about as of late if you happen to be interested, who knows maybe something can inspire you!

Make sure the skin directly touching the metal doesnt dry up! Since the skin there is used to being fully enclosed by a warm shoulder, not thinned out and pressed against metal! Its easy for the skin to start drying and cracking around there. Preventing it from doing that can be done easily by just using a q-tip or your finger and rubbing vaseline or lotion of some kind around the skin. Reason you dont want it to dry up and crack would be since the cracks can crawl further up the shoulder and tear perfectly fine skin, which would definitely get irritating after a long while if your whole shoulder ended up just being decked in scabs. Even worse of one of the splits in the skin got infected. No one wants an infected port just like no one wants an infected ear piercing.

Be sure to clean the area where the skin and metal actually meet! Same reason as above, you do not want an infected port! An infected port can potentially lead to a rejected port which is never a good thing! Cleaning it meanwhile usually looks like taking a toothpick soaked in hand sanitizer or rubbing alcohol, and scraping out dirt/germs from the slim space in between the skin and metal, this is so the skin there doesnt grow over whatever gunk may be there and cause infection.

Make sure the inside of the port itself stays relatively clean! Clean out grime and gunk! Make it so the arm can actually fit into the port! The arm cannot fit into the port if you have 2 inches of mud stuck inside the rod, or meddled in the ratchet system, or whatever fantasy cool system you have! If you try and fit an arm into a port with stuff all up inside it you could potentially break the arm! Or if it doesnt break then overall quality would definitely be lowered through the more funked up movements trying their best when covered in stuff! Anyways cleaning the port itself depends on what materials you have half the time, looks different for different people ig!

Oh and reasons no one wants an infected port:

The slim chance the body just starts rejecting the port and trying to force it out

The slim chance that if the port was not put in correctly/out far enough from the body, the body will start trying to regrow around the port

The fact that infections are extremely painful especially in such a large surface area in comparison to just an ear

If the infection pain was not enough, adding a massive metal arm that pulls on the skin would be even more painful

Would also want to add that if your body rejects the port, its a god awful experience. Rejection means that your body tries to push the port itself out of the body, a very painful experience, it usually does this by growing in such a way that puts force to sorta try and pop the port out. Issue is, the port is very much bolted down via ball joints onto the shoulder blade and collar bone, and so the flesh that grows under it to push it out ends up just gushing out the sides of the port as gross as it sounds. Its a really nasty experience. So without help via surgery to remove the port, have fun being in agony the rest of your life! If this happens and you do manage to remove the port, you would have to undergo waiting for the shoulder to heal up again before even daring to put in the port once again. Should also note that this can only be done so many times, since with each surgery to remove and install, more and more excess flesh gets cut of, until you may eventually reach a point where there is not even enough healthy flesh to sustain the port any longer.

Hope some of this was helpful!! Oops I had too much fun writing this up!

More asks under the cut!

Just in case I'm overthinking this: if Leo is a transgirl egg and does not use she/her pronouns, does that mean that it's an act of misgendering to us she/her pronouns on Leo? Are he/him pronouns misgendering for such a character/person? Are she/her pronouns gendering Leo correctly because we can see into the future and that is what is most accurate? Confused Wakerrife is confused.

Leo is a girlboy egg. She ends up using she/he pronouns so it wouldn’t be misgendering either way to use he/him or she/her.

But also, she’s a fictional character who exists and is talked about in a non linear fashion, and he definitely isn’t one of those people who always knew what gender they were. So even if she was exclusively a girl/woman it’d be fine to refer to her pre transition self with he/him imo cause she’s not real and can’t actually be upset by it.

And also because pre egg crack leo was aggressively against being seen as feminine.

Tagged by @aerialworms! Thank you friend, I love being able to go off the rails with my favourite fictional characters :D

Rules: post the names of all the files in your WIP folder regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them, and then post a little snippet of it or tell them something about it! And then tag as many people as you have wips.

Well... I only have two wips, so here goes:

there'll be happiness after you

in the cracks of light (i dreamed of you)

Then I have ideas floating in my head that I haven't started on, but here are the titles I would use:

just some rocks and the trees and my lonesome dreams

no one ever loved half as much as i

the yawning grave

drifting in a land that time forgot

Tagging (but no pressure) @darkpersonapeace @woahpip @mildly-nerdy @wakerrife @randombook4idk

and whoever wants to do this!

I'm actually curious now; is Luna pet-able?

Hoooh boy, now that's a fun question @wakerrife! See, Lune/Luna is mostly solitary, so where she might like a pet or two she keeps mostly to herself. I think I'd have to let her explain it herself (LOL):

The design is inspired heavily from @Lingi-15 's Ben 15, go check them out.

As for the drawing, it’s a scene of the first chapter of a little fic I’m writing, called Lost to the Mist. https://archiveofourown.org/works/27678556/chapters/67734742

How in all happenstance do you find time to make so much content? I'm lucky if I manage part of a doodle in a day.

[Hands Ed a freshly cooled mini loaf of spiced applesauce bread] I had some leftover batter, and it's pretty good. Although, fair warning, I can’t really tastes spices anymore so it might be a bit off.

“Well Thank you. Ta tell ya the truth s’fine ‘cuz m’nose is so fuckin’ broke I c’n’t taste shit right no more ei’her but m’cookin’ always seems ta b’ fine. I’m sure it’s great! This was thoughtful of ya, n’ I jus’ like bein’ thought of so thank you.”

Regarding Nimona's responses to having her abilities and identity interrogated, I really appreciate how impatient and irate she is. I feel like I sound disingenuous but I'm being serious- at no point does the narrative (as far as I've yet watched) make it her problem that people don’t understand her. The other characters have a kink in their links about it and she does have to deal with how they react to her but them being nosy isn’t her responsibility.

(I know that's kind of the point but I feel the need to say it anyway because I've written characters like her and made stories thematically similar to poor reception.)

More pre-bed stuff.

Ed's not sure what to make out of that one coworker who has a lot of little badges, wears and eyepatch, and struts around with swords strapped to his side. His kid's a sweetheart, though.

If I recall correctly, you reposted/reblogged/is-there-a-difference an animatic some time back and I can't for the life of me recall the name of it. It was of a lesbian couple, and I think part of the lyrics was "Would you love me in a dress?"; the song was very cute and I want to rewatch it. Do you have any idea what it's called?

Thank you both for the comments. And yes, it is sad. I don’t know why when you draw fluffy things, some people feel the need to come in and say what you draw is a ship, especially when you’ve well established it’s NOT. Too, even when you do post it in the tags, they still reblog and tag it to be the way they want it. That’s why I put it in the post instead of the tags so they don’t have much a choice.

Also, YAY! This my 200th post and I am currently at 146 Followers! Thank you all!
