Happy Valentine's Day! (and this blog's first post anniversary!)

#poorly drawn mdzs #better drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #lan wangji #Woah...it's been a whole *year* since I took the leap and uploaded my 'first attempt' art. #It's outdated now but it holds a special place in my heart for the fact it started all of this off. #Calling this 'poorly-drawn' was always about accepting that my art was going to be imperfect and messy - and doing it anyways! #There has been a staggering number of times I have drawn something I almost didn't upload because I didn't think it was 'good enough' #only for someone to say they liked it - or that it made them laugh. And it has helped me realize - #-The worst critic for my work has always been myself. If I listened to it all the time...well we would not be here now B'*) #And now that I have dabbled in other fandoms I can truly see how lucky was to start out with the MXTX fans. #The supportive messages and tags have truly been a guiding force toward my artistic and self improvement. #I really can't describe how grateful I am. #Thank you for seeing something worth rooting for when I was just figuring things out. #Thank you for being sweeter than the candy I have strategically hidden in the nooks and crannies of this house. #But watch out! If you forget to find them we will get ants. #I remembered to not hide chocolate in the bed this year. Yes I know it melted last time. Yes it did stain. I'm still sorry. #Thank you for loving me regardless <3 Even if it looked like I shit the bed real bad.

Making sure he'll fit in

#[.art] #toh #the owl house #philip wittebane #wittebane brothers #emperor belos #caleb wittebane #do you ever think about how they had to fit in Or Else so that's what pushed Philip into witch hunting #and how it's possible Caleb was the one who proposed it or those games first so that his brother could actually be accepted #even though he didn't like it. To protect him. etc etc #by the time he starts leaving he's so sure that Philip will be fine /because/ he fits in. The plan worked and he's just holding him back #and then. and then that doesn't happen. A monster made because someone wanted to protect him so badly... #Ahem anyways. Them

Ice Crystal

When Clark was exploring the fortress of solitude he found murals of a teenage boy on the ice walls. He frowned and followed the drawings to a room he had never visited.

That was odd, so he approached cautiously; it turned out, the room was empty beyond the drawings adorning the walls, which oddly looked like constellations. In the center was an ice table with a crystal glowing toxic green hovering over it.

At first, the Kryptonian thought it was Kryptonite but the crystal hadn't made him feel weak. In general, it didn't make him feel anything. He frowned and took the crystal in his hands, beyond causing him to feel cold nothing happened. He decided to put the crystal back where it was, determined to investigate it later.

Unbeknownst to Clark, a few minutes after he left the room the crystal began to flicker. A "Hello?" was heard around the room as a confused hologram flashed, Danny looked around the place with a frown before cutting the call.

Of course, Clark forgot about it rather quickly, and it wasn't until years later when Jon and Kon were exploring the place (clearly without telling Clark) that they found the strange room. Though contrary to Superman, they stayed and could hear the voice clearly.

#dpxdc #The Kryptonians were allies of the Yetis long ago #They shared the Legend of the Great One #Though at the time none of them knew it was referencing someone in the afterlife #They thought it was some kind of god #The ice crystal is a way of communicating with the great one #The Kryptonians developed it #It hadn't worked before because Danny didn't exist at that time #But the Kryptonians left it as a legacy anyway #Clark was supposed to communicate with him and make a great ally #but he forgot about the room #So instead his kids got a friend #dp x dc #dc x dp #ghost king danny #Danny was confused at first #until Frostbite explained #at the end he decided to be the superboy's secret friend #they stole the crystal #think of the ice crystal as a glorified phone

imagine being zandik's senior in the akademiya mmm..

do NOT get me started.

thinking. im thinking hard. his senior, who was the first to look into his perspective of science, taking great consideration of his research and making him feel things he has never felt before. his senior who shows the ropes of getting used in the akademiya... encouraging his interests and not judging him one bit. maybe you were crazier than he was, but it felt good to be understood for once!

n' u tell him how good he was, smiling at him whenever he starts rambling about his research. he's sooo enamored zandik finds it ridiculous, because you are sooo handsome and kind to him, it makes his head spin. then you cup his cheek with your hand, caressing it and calling him cute.

he finds himself grow so weak whenever you talk to him, helping him by handing him books he needs that he doesn't have access to.. he feels his heart skip a beat when people stare at him with burning jealously when you chose to walk him, of all people, to his classes. i think he'd start attending to his classes more, only if you're there of course! then he'd immediately take the seat next to yours.

then you show him things that he didn't even know. things that he never knew his body could do. bending and folding his body in positions he'd never thought he finds himself in, taking in something soo big in his virgin hole, n crying for more.

suddenly, it's not about his research anymore. it's about you pulling him into an empty room, an hour before the lecture starts and other scholars walking in, bending him over the professor's desk as you make him recite everything about the test he has to take later, cooing and calling him a good boy when he gets an answer right, and spanking his ass and fucking him harder whenever he gets it wrong.

it wasn't your intention to play with zandi, really. your professor told you to look out for this one junior who's rarely attending classes, yet getting top grades, and doesn't like socializing. and you did, because you don't judge people based off of rumors. sure, the boy was a little intimidating at first, but it turns out, you don't think so differently!

plus, he's so cute. face red at simple touches, getting so needy when you make out with him in one of the bathroom stalls even though there were other people inside. he'd tug and whisper how much he needed you, and that he can't take another second without you inside of him. his eyes sparkle whenever he starts to cry, cursing and threatening you for making him feel so good. so you shut him up by fucking him harder 💞 until his poor little brain can't process anything anymore, now he's just a babbling mess on your cock 🥰

oh n' you didn't need much convincing when zandik begged you to move in to his dorm instead, since he refused anyone else to be his roommate. guess you two would be 'studying' more together, huh?

#» asmo's thirst talks #» mutuals: uplatterme #omigosh!! hai!!1 #i think this is the first time we interacted #and you do this to me. #ignore how i like. immediately responded to this. #because i didn't #and i actually have a life outside of work (no i do not #i simply think about this man and go to bed) #hehe dottore 🥰 #sub dottore #sub genshin #sub genshin impact #dottore smut

What led to this (orufrey comic, cw an uncomfortable/creepy scene)

#witch hat tag #orufrey #er.... i'm too tired to have anything to say..i worked several days on this. #wait.. didn't i say just recently here that i probably wouldn't ever depict 'what if alaira is qifrey's sort-of ex'. What's going on #i don't even remember deciding to draw this..it's all a blur..i'm not sure why i WOULD decide to draw delicate scenes in my head #that i wouldn't really want to share with anyone/discuss so why did i draw it... #some part of me really really wants to draw things that are more and more true to myself... #maybe because of my alienation with most romance/shipping/dynamics the rest of the world depicts. #orufrey really is perfectly suited to me - what i read in the text and what is in my head. well anyway #i am TIRED of drawing poses and angles and..maybe now i will actually take a break from drawing bc of the tediousness of Angles #btw it really is a 'stretch of time' . . . assuming witches graduate age 18-20 #well orufrey are canonically 30-ish. they've only had agott around for presumably about TWO years (?) bc she took the test age 10 #and it feels like oru moving in/unknown atelier acquisition/building (?) .. i guess that could be a year or so before agott at most #(she was the first disciple) so... ????????? What about the other 7 or so years ?!?!?!!?!?! Unemployed Brimhat Hatred era #that time is very nebulous. after qifrey went to the tower i feel like it's been implied he and oru drifted apart a little. #certainly they didn't live together at first... no way. that doesn't feel like how it is based on things oru has said about becoming Eye #idk. I'm tired now. i don't usually think of alaira as necessarily qifrey's ex and this being how things went in that 'sliver of time'. #i usually prefer the idea that they have their first kiss with each other in their 30s cause That's Just The Orufrey Lifestyle #just felt like making a more relatable alternative view of my own Cai Orufrey Canon one time. btw im a big monoshipper and it hurt a bit #let's leave it there. this is surely the most i've worked on a 'single' art - though now i realise just how much longer the fic took :')

andrzej sapkowski in the witcher presents his reader with many curious and refreshing takes on the fantasy genre, such as "what if dragons were good" and "what if elves were incels"

#i joke it's more like what if the ethereal being had angsty mournful man feelings #that he has feelings but can't work through them because #overemotionality is considered base and human so he's basically been bottling all of this for centuries #the elbow-high diaries #plus that his only purpose was really to be with lara and now she's gone and so what does that make him #i'm not getting all MRA lmaoooo what i'm saying is that there needs to be two to make a baby so he was one-half of that #and destiny didn't work out as planned so ... this is all that's left #reading ch 5 of lotl for the first time: THIS IS SO MESSED UP WHAT THEY ARE DOING TO CIRI!!! #reading ch 5 of lotl again and again: my god EVERYONE here is so messed up and SAD. well except eredin #eredin is like cool im gonna go fight a unicorn #'what are you talking about he wanted to kill auberon?' but not in a very intelligent way he was like to ciri 'so you wanna... kill him?' #imo book eredin is kind of a meathead and it's kind of refreshing with all these 4D chess players around

well what family doesn't keep a secret vampire family member hidden deep in in the basement /s

EDIT: Rest of the comic is now under the cut!

----------

BONUS:

#first fullpage comic in my new sketchbook woooo 🎉 #poor rune. accidentally hibernated for 20 years and he didn't even do it on purpose. #you can tell by the fact that he went to nap in his freakin pajamas #as you do when you go to sleep #but then this time he just. didn't wake up. and his family assumed it was on purpose. so they just let him??? #oops????? #yes munch is a surname that's been used in norway - especially in towns that had historically had contact with german merchants. fun fact #so while his dad was originally literally a windenburg townie from the sims 4... it still works #oh yeah the way i am handling language in this comic. do keep in mind it is set in norway and the canon language is actually norwegian #so while any dialog usually gets masked with english so you may actually understand wtf people are saying #text on objects do not get translated. because they're a part of the world and stuff. it's the way people see them. that makes sense right #(don't even get me started on my complex relationship with written norwegian. long story short: it is a pain) #EDIT: now with the full comic under the readmore

BECCA THESE SUBBY DBF!BUCKY THOTS ARE KILLING ME IN THE BEST WAY I LOVE IT SO MUCH😩😵‍💫🤤

Coming back to this because my weakness is submissive older men 🤤

Just the thought of clamping your hands around his neck while you're on top and watching him lose it makes me dizzy.

I absolutely love the thought of fucking yourself on him, grinding your hips back and forth with his length inside you while he whimpers and moans beneath you.

He's surrendered all the control he's ever had. You both know that it'd take very little effort if he decided he wanted to change the dynamic but he has no interest in doing that.

He wants you on top of him, using him for your own pleasure rather than his. He wants you to leave scratches down his chest where your nails have sunk into his skin. He wants flushed, stinging cheeks, reminding him of each little slap you've given him when his eyes flutter shut and he stops looking at you for even a few seconds.

But then one of your hands cups his neck and that feels like an entirely different kind of submission. It's not a painful sensation that he expects when he imagines being submissive in bed; it's dizzying. The light pressure on his neck is delightful but more than anything, it feels like you're fully in control. He's vulnerable like this and he loves it.

"Both hands. Please." He's never sounded so needy and any hesitation you might have felt a few seconds ago melts away. Your other hand joins the first, wrapped around his neck, your fingers squeezing slightly and he looks entirely blissed out underneath you.

"Oh fuck." He groans, thrusting his hips up towards you in a desperate attempt to make sure he's buried as deep inside you as he can manage.

"You're fucking pathetic like this." You tease, adjusting your grip on his neck to remind him exactly where your hands are. You feel his pulse under your fingers and you feel your body flutter at the realisation. "You're losing yourself in me, aren't you?"

His eyes close for a few seconds while he tries to focus on the sensation, rather than the sight of you but that won't do. You take one hand from his neck, slapping his face gently and the rush he feels from the release of pressure is euphoric.

"Did I say you could look away?" You tease, putting your hand back on his throat, keeping your grip tight while he shakes his head.

His hands land on your hips, helping you grind back and forth on him, rubbing his length right where you need it. He probably won't get off like this but you absolutely could.

"I want to feel you cum. I need you to squeeze my neck and my cock at the same time." He's fantasised about this and it shows.

"Make me." You were half joking but he starts working your hips faster, setting the pace he knows you like until he stops suddenly, holding your hips still.

"God, I can't cum yet. I don't want this to end." You forgive him this time for closing his eyes, giving him a moment to collect himself before he's back to fucking you on him, begging you to squeeze his neck harder.

#asks answered <3 #becca writes spice #anon #sub!bucky #dbf!bucky #subby!bucky #this is absolutely going to be tmi but I refuse to shut up about it #because #for the first time in my life #I actually had an o that another person was fully responsible for #no toys #I didn't have to do a single thing #that's never happened before #it's taken 7 years #7. years. #so you'll understand why I'm so giddy about this 🙈 #anyway 🙃 #one of my faves at work got engaged a couple of weeks ago #and I haven't seen her since then #so I'm going in early tomorrow to put up a tonne of decorations for a lil engagement party #her desk is going to be a sparkly disaster #and she's going to HATE it #I can't wait

Hi!! I love this series so much, and as someone who hasn’t really drawn since they were a kid but wants to start as a hobby, do you have any advice for sort of learning to doodle on paper and get better at it? I want to start but I don’t really know how/where

The most important step in getting better at any skill is Persistence and Consistency. Practice and keep practicing! The best way to do that is to keep it fun! Picking a project helps generate ideas (e.g. drawing Pokémon, or characters from a series you like). There are also a ton of monthly prompt lists out there!

I also highly recommend scheduling in a 'drawing/practice' time in your day. For me, I started with 30-60 min before bed (bonus: its a good 'no screentime' activity), and the habit took root there.

There are a lot of 'technical' things to study but find the fun first. At a certain point you will discover you've hit a wall, and have a specific aspect/goal you want to target (colour theory, anatomy, lighting, comic layout). Then it's time to go looking for resources.

Once you have the habit and some goals, go collect some inspiration! Find people who inspire you and study their work!

Another little 'art skill builder' I recommend is the Shrimp Method! Only if you find technical challenges like this fun though (Example of one of my studies below)

#art faqs #TL;DR: Step 1 is 'Just start drawing'. Step 2 is 'Keep on drawing'. Step 3 is 'Hit a wall and start studying only as much as you want' #Step 4: keep it fun and keep drawing. #I think this is where artists who start young have the advantage over adult learners #because adults try to tackle art at the technical point first! #AND THAT JUST FEELS LIKE A CHORE!! #When I got into piano & string instruments I started by just doodling around. Banging out the tunes and experimenting. #The low pressure made it fun! I started lessons because I wanted to learn more! #I personally own quite a few art textbooks! Some are workbook/prompt-based (to help me get started) #and some are actual textbooks! But I certainly didn't start by reading a textbook. #I *highly* recommend Scott McCloud's 'understanding comics' for anyone trying to get into comics #its also a comic in of itself so its a fun read! It breaks down a lot of the key aspects of what's in a comic. #And tbh you don"t HAVE to trace for the shrimp method to work. Just take the time to do a study of a subject! #Good luck on your art journey! B*)

pspspsps porretta besties from the dark place who refused to bring this song to its end here's a little something for you. 🎙️

#it'll take a while until I finish the extended mix but of course I had to start from this part #you can tell the man have been practicing - Dynamite was amazing and so fun but sounded like he didn't sing for a while #and out of sudden had to film his performance in a rush because it was pretty chaotic back then - or maybe just wasn't for his range #now it's clear that he had time to work on his singing voice and feel more comfortable with the songs #plus it sounds like he had fun recording them - at least I hope so since everyone seemed genuinely happy to be back after 13 years #and istfg I can hear him singing the final chorus as well (liiiiight / niiiight / to the suuurfaaace) but I couldn't find the files #but I didn't find Door and OGOA vocals for it either so it's all probably mixed in a single file which is the one we heard in the cutscene #love him love his voice and I'm happy to have experienced this level (the entire game actually) blind #his performance was spectacular (the drowning video is still in my mind since my first playthrough but hey that's for another post) #anyway #someone give this man a Pixar villain to VO PLEASE #and that fucking bass btw I love it #Matthew Porretta #Old Gods of Asgard #Herald of Darkness #Alan Wake 2 #Remedy Entertainment #🎮 #tinyclowntent #audio

#madness combat #madcom oc #my oc #atp soldat #the soldat in the dark (tm) actually cares about his bro #a lot #but he just can't get sad when he warned him about this shit nonstop #no id #The bitten guy just acts too friendly because his program made him too altruistuc and kind #Which sometimes helps since he is one who recruits workers #Well #Probably it's more benefitial most of the time #But he gets in shit like “oh i just wanted to help civilian get out from dangerous location and they stabbed me :(((” #And he ain't bullied for it by anyone but his bro. He is too... Kinda. Uh. Hard to bully guy who is most safest option to talk with auditor #And not die lol. It also doesn't help that he is guy who knows all of the AAHW by names and will kick you hard for bullying anyone #So bullying him is a privilege of some atp soldats #not an option :D #Other soldat here is just walking anger issues and he got no friends other than his bro. Constantly lashes at anyone. The Bitten™ included #So they're got that dynamic of angry antisocial cynical guy and pessimist & optimistic kind dude (well #(well he got a lot of mental issues too #But doesn't show it and never let it hurt others.) #And he is much older than the pessimist :'D #Pessimist guy is very young actually. But just experienced shit nonstop from birthday and lost very much everyone he cared about #And the second one... just atp soldat with no past. never known any other thing than work in AAHW and orders. Easy to manipulate #He also gets “You're not a real person” a lot for it. And constanly offended by it. But it's a problem of all yellow bloods here #Especially him #since he litterally didn't had a life outside from aahw. Also don't think he wouldn't kick his friends hard for orders. #Kill even. He is a dog for orders first #Kind guy with good morals is only second
