#bishie arthur

[esperanzagalaxy]

sorry i keep disappearing, there's been a lot happening and i'm having trouble catching up and remembering to share what little i have stashed to keep this blog alive. which is a bummer, cause i love sharing design stuff! these here, as i'm sure you can tell, are the designs we worked together with Yami, whom this Got Dam site is not letting me tag.

anyway, these were for their siiiiiick malevolent commission we made earlier in the year! arthur was approved right away, which i was glad about, cause he may look a little too prim, but i can't help my mind's eye. similarly, I Do Not Control The Vibes Harlan's Voices Give Me, and i can only picture john (and thus the king) as either Petulant Bishie, or Bear. yami was more into the Blob John trope, and it worked out much better in the end. love me a jellyfishy king, too. i should do more weird guys.

hope you like these like we did! <33

Note: Hottest animated characters, part twelve. It was hard to find HD screenshots for a couple. Still watch mostly live-action, but trying to read more graphic novels. I never watched Vampire Knight, or finished the manga. Maybe after I catch up with BNHA...

The League of Villains minus Toga can use me as a couple of holes anytime lol.

10. Dark Bunny (Bruce Dinsmore) from Arthur 

Bruce Wayne’s actual fursona. 

9. Rido Kuran from Vampire Knight

When I read this, I was squicked out by his not-so-fraternal/-avuncular feelings. Still, a yandere with possession abilities...

8. Clarence from Through the Woods

Or the tentacle monster wearing Clarence’s skin, rather.

7. “Deprive” android from Robot Carnival

Hotter as a robot, but it’s nice to have a bishie form, too.

6. Vortex (James Monroe Iglehart) from Helluva Boss

Too bad the style did not give him fuller lips and thicker legs...

5. Brain Eating Meteor (Jeff Bennett/Voltaire) from The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy

Sexy-voiced by a professional voice actor and a professional singer.

4. blacksmith (Hank Azaria) from The Simpsons

Stupid sexy blacksmith.

3. Zaheer (Henry Rollins) from Avatar: The Legend of Korra

I will never be as disciplined as him. He can discipline me, though.

2. Atsuhiro Sako from My Hero Academia

Mister, compress your [REDACTED] on my [REDACTED].

1. Joel Goldschmidt VI (Akira Ishida) from Blood+ 

Is actually kind, so he’s #1 lol. 

Note: Previous part. With the realization I’m attracted to that meteor, I should just make a list of bizarre monsters/abstract characters I find hot lol.

Reuploaded Iggy-san

Apologies for the reupload, but the previous ask-er requested me to take down their ask because they thought it was sent as anon.

So, here’s some separate Iggy-san requested to be drawn in my normal style!

It’s too ikemen and serious for the silliness of hetalia and I mostly want to keep this blog silly and derpy haha

#hetalia #aph #aph fanart #cioccolatodorima #I find it hilarious that some people are shook to know I have a separate artstyle XD #I only draw in hetalia style for hetalia because I love challenge XD #and I'm also kind of a trolling overlord #arthur kirkland #aph england #I could draw them all as bishies if I want but nah #I want hetalia as silly and not ikemen fodder #I'll smack ikemen to all my haters mug :D

— welcome, dear! this is a small event i created, purely self-indulgent for the month of october. opm october is the use of filipino songs as inspiration for ficlets for tokyo revengers characters, be it its lyrics or the overall vibe of these musical gems itself — this is also a special event commemorating my 5k milestone that i reached two weeks prior! as well as a personal accomplishment that i wanted to celebrate. — opm means original pilipino music, the filipino pop music (in english, tagalog, and other philippine-native language)

r e q u e s t s ?

○ sadly, i am not taking requests for this but i would be glad to hear your opinion or song suggestions (especially for the letters f, q, v, and x).

t i m e s p a n ?

○ it will be prioritized on 10 | 01 | 21 to 11 | 01 | 21 ○ after the said date, i will still continue on posting but it will not be made priority and is only an extra feature of my account

n o t e s ?

○ i’ll write for all of the characters. they are chosen by random using a generator ( wheel of names ) but the songs are my own pick as i feel more comfortable to do so. ○ title of the song + its artist + line will be indicated. ○ the work’s length will vary as well as update time. ○ i will not be writing this in order ( from a to z ), but rather in random. i will try to include all of the letters of the alphabet.  ○ mostly fluff and comfort but there are occasional angst. angst is unavoidable if you’re with me. ○ taglist is open so feel free to send me an ask or comment on this post. i won’t be tagging those from my original taglist. ○ tag used is: 🎥 — [ opm october ]

Rhaegar Targaryen, The Last Dragon

"There was a melancholy to Prince Rhaegar, a sense ... of doom. He was born in grief, my queen, and that shadow hung over him all his days."

For all the grief I give Rhaegar, the backstory of being a bookish nerd until someday he reads something in his tomes of ancient knowledge and suddenly decides he has to be warrior, then studies arms training with the same diligence til he's one of the best knights in the land... there's something old school Romantic about that. Plus it taps into a deep nerdy belief in self-improvement that usually only Batman can reach.

The overwhelming sense I get from Rhaegar is that wherever he went, he had pretty anime bishie sparkles and doves were constantly taking wing just behind him... and this miniature certainly captures that vibe! This is my first from a new line of miniatures from bigchild creatives, they've done a line of King Arthur miniatures that are just gorgeous, and give super strong ASOIAF vibes. I wanted to up my painting game accordingly, so you can see I've tried slightly more advanced highlighting on Rhaegar's armour, and I'm really happy with how its come out! Also managed to get his ruby dragon breastplate in there.

Ship History Meme

Embrace your past and get to know your friends’ fandom origins!

Rules: Post gifs of your fandoms / ships starting with your most current hyperfixation and work backwards. (Bonus points if you share any stories about how or when you got into that ship! But not necessary!!) Then tag anyone whose fandom history you’d like to learn about!

Gonna start by saying that the timeline of everything past Reddie is iffy because I don’t remember exactly when I got into what, but I am vaguely aware of when I was hyperfixated on specific ships, cuz a lot of them I’ve had for a long long long long time.

Tagged by @gideongrace​ !!!!  Who is a STAR an ANGEL,,,

Most Recent: Harringrove - Steve Harrington and Billy Hargrove from Stranger Things

How Did I Get Into It? I was looking at @mxgicdave’s reddie fanart and found his harringrove stuff and was immediately like ‘Oh NO.’ Then I finally finally watched ST 2 and was like ‘Oh FUCK.’ Then I skimmed most of ST 3 for the bits I wanted because I am what? A sinner.

Next: Reddie - Richie Tozier and Eddie Kaspbrak from IT

How Did I Get Into It? So I shipped it when I first saw the miniseries, but then the new movies came out and I was like OH YEAH.

Next: Stucky - Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes (OTP in and out of fixation)

How Did I Get Into It? Again, I had been into it before (cuz like,,, I have eyes and ears and watched the first 2 CA movies), but then I saw Endgame and spite fuelled me into a hyperfixation and rage.  Like,, y’all,, Stucky is… It’s… Regardless of ur shipping feelings those two are meant to be near each other forever KAY

Next: Merthur - Merlin Emrys and Arthur Pendragon from Merlin (OTP in and out of fixation)

How Did I Get Into It? Homoerotic subtext and Colin Morgan’s cheekbones.  I love goofball who could kill you and asshole boy who just needs love (and to be taken down a peg or two) as a dynamic, so.  I mean, they’re two sides of the same coin, and Arthur is like,,, seconds away from kissing Merlin at any given moment. (GIF for homoerotic and seconds away from kissing ref)

Next: Gallavich - Ian Gallagher and Mickey Milkovich

How Did I Get Into It? I think I saw some clips on youtube of Mickey and uhhhhh the rest is history.  Angry closeted boy with internalized homophobia who loves to tease the guy he likes because he doesn’t know how to handle his feelings?  SOLD.

Next: Sterek - Stiles Stilinski and Derek Hale

How Did I Get Into It? I saw so many gifs on tumblr of the two, so many things talking about them, that I finally watched the show.  And then Dylan O’Brien was so fucking GOOD and I was like, YEP.  Once again, goofball and frowny boy.  I have a type goddamn it.  Mostly at least.

Next: DeanCas - Dean Winchester and Castiel from Supernatural

How Did I Get Into It? Someone introduced me to SPN and I lied and said I had seen it and they started talking to me about ships and stuff so I had to quickly figure out some basics to lie about.  Then I actually watched it and the rest is history.  Castiel being Castiel was my downfall.

Next: KuraHi - Kurama and Hiei from Yu Yu Hakusho

How Did I Get Into It? I was a high school gay and you had tall pretty bishie and and short angry cutie so I mean, you tell me.

Honorable mentions:

Symbrock - Venom

Johnlock - Sherlock

Natasha/Sam or Natasha/Clint - Marvel

Thor/Bruce - Marvel

Morgwen - Merlin

Uranus/Neptune - Sailor Moon

Honestly, the past couple of years have taken my wide spread shipping and narrowed it to Stucky and Merthur on repeat, but then Reddie and Harringrove came into my life and I’m pretty sure I’m gonna be in the same spot with them.  I still love all my ships (I mean, I recently retweeted SasuNaru stuff so like….), but I often have a few that really stick with me, and Harringrove is gonna be one of them.  I’m 100% sure.

Hetalia Emblem: Support Conversations

Okay... so I might not be in time for the end of the @aphrarepairweek2020 event, but I’m posting this anyway. Yet another Free Day, though there’s also a mix of prompts like Stars, Magic, and possibly one for Flowers. And it’s still in early access! Yay! Though seriously, thank goodness for Google Docs.

This is based on my Hetalia Emblem/Samuraiverse/Flagverse AU, a sort of theoretical Hetagame Strategy RPG with weapons, outfits, and initial setting idea (Japanese high medieval fantasy with international elements), at least before it became a Magical Boy/FateGO/Touken Ranbu-esque premise, of the World Flags project (I’m pretty sure you’ve seen it around; it’s the one with the bishie samurai in costumes based off of their flags) and Fire Emblem gameplay. Though you don’t have to know much about FE to understand this. Basically the premise is that Feliciano and Kiku, the two main characters of this game, have been separated from the rest of the G8 (currently G7), or Hachi No Dan, a band of warriors chosen by the gods, and now they have to raise an army and get back the other 6 to save the world or something. ...I haven’t fleshed it out much yet. And for now at least, this is my only work where the characters act remotely like their canon selves.

And Fire Emblem has what’s called “support conversations”, where characters bond through conversation to get stat boosts in battle. While in almost all of the games there’s often some kind of romance ending to many of these conversations, in HE I basically scrap shipping and go classic. So yes, it’s more platonic stuff.

I’m thinking HE would theoretically have a support system like Three Houses, where I think supports evolve as you progress through the game, but as I haven’t played it I’m kind of writing with the assumption that this is the Awakening/Fates support system at the moment, with maybe some certain plot-locked A supports that aren’t here.

But in anyway, this gives me license to write duo interactions and create friendships out of some of the wackiest pairs ever. Including some you’ll see here. Though others here like Italy and Greece are my BrOTPs in nationverse too, and I would have liked writing them in Alt-talia. On well.

Damn you, University... Well at least I’m forced to stop so I don’t end up cooped up on my mom and brother’s birthday...

A/N: NOTHING ABOUT THIS BISHY BARA TURT IS SFW OKAY, THIS ENTIRE POST IS A LIE AND SHOULD BE UNDER READ MORE JUST BC IT IS RAPH

That typical gentle giant

Covers up a whole lot of cute fluffy teddy bear with anger and muscle

Reads a lot of manga

And a lot of surprisingly intellectual books

Authors like Jean M Awel, Arthur Conan Doyle, HP Lovecraft and Edgar Allan Poe

Into tattoo’s and piercings, but his options are limited

Adept at basketball, baseball, soccer, tennis, ice hockey and chess

Sleeps with a fuck ton of blankets and pillows

Big cuddler

Love animals

Goes out of his way to feed stray dogs and cats

Once rescued an injured fox kit

Had braces between their first confrontation with Shredder and their meet up with Krang

A nervous baby about meeting new people

Which he covers up with a lot of barking and muscle flexing

An insecure lil bear

Needs constant confirmation and reassuring

Especially when he is in a relationship

Just wants to be held and loved

But is very bad at turning emotions into words

Has a weakness for plushies he tells no one about

In fact, he loves cute things

Petite women, kittens, puppies, babies, foals, ducklings

Turn his insides to mush

Very into heavy metal and the like

Violent air guitar solo’s

Surprisingly delicate

Doesn’t only knit in the hashi

Overall a big ass softy

He just doesn’t want anyone to know

Shell is made of 100% boyfriend material

Wonder Festival 2019 Winter Highlights: 

Sooo... Arthur... Hunny! How you doi’n?

Whoever is reading this blog often should know by now, I am not a huge Fate fan, but despite that I have a soft spot for Arthur. From all his three scale versions announced this was the one I was looking forward to the most and from the looks of it, he will probably be the last one released. Luckily Orange Rouge are not disappointing me on the prototype stage of things! He looks pretty! Love the flowers, love the balloons! And that soft kind expression. Just what a bishi-loving fan-girl needs! Thrums up! XD

X Artworks That Should Be Made Into Figma Table Museum Figures:

Some of you may know that Figma, purveyors of fine weeaboo action dolls, has recently been making highly articulated action figures based on classic art. This is rad as hell.

But, I got to thinking, there's plenty of stuff that isn;t made for that line yet, and that's why I'm making a big doofy list of 'em!

Two rules for this list, one they gotta be public domain, to avoid the issue of “could they pay the license” So sadly stuff like Bacon’s horrible screaming pope or Max Ernst's Kaiju isn’t gonna be on here.

Secondly only one per artist, to keep it interesting, tho with runner-ups mentioned. Thirdly, no sequential art, I'm saving PD comics that deserve Weeaboo Action Dolls for another article entirely.

But yeah, onward past the break!

Satan from Heironymous Bosch’s The Garden of Earthly Delights

We all knew something from the master of macabre Bosch had to be in there somewhere, and while that helmeted bird-demon with the baby legs is coming in close second, I think the big Satan himself has to go to that pick

His “throne” and chamberpot/crown would be perfect accessories, and you could probably do a lot of fun stuff with that gross “bubble” coming out. Also a lot of creepy stuff. But I digress.

Arthur Rackham’s Fafnir

Out of all of these, this is the least likely one to show up, if only for its artist's obscurity, but Rackham's work is so gorgeous it had to show up, and Fafnir would be perfect! We see so little in terms of dragons in that figural realm

Of course, we'd also be inundated with horrible vore pics involving it and the various Figma animu girls, and I have no idea how to feel about that.

J.J. Grandville’s Misocampe Wasp

Grandville is one of the greatest cartoonists of his time, so he had to be somewhere on here. I think the Misocampe Wasp is almost certainly one of the most striking and emblematic of his works; though the spindly limbs might be slightly difficult to engineeer.

But, they're high-end premium Weeaboo Action Dolls, so I'm sure they could work it out. Juggler of Worlds would probably be in second place out of Grandville's works; due to its iconic status and the fact that Inneundo was one of the best goddamn albums ever fight me.

William Blake’s Great Red Dragon

Also, gotta have Blake on here, and if you're including Blake, you gotta include his iconic rebel bad-boy-with-a-heart-of-gold figure. I think that's what it is at least. I'm not that familiar with Blake.

But, it does look cool as hell, and I'd totally want an accessory based on the novel Red Dragon (Yes, the one that introduced Hannibal). And he'd look rad as hell posing with the Billy Herrington Figma, don't lie, you all wanna see that.

Hans Holbein’s Der Ritter

Yes, I will admit, this is mainly here for the Slender Man link. But also because it's a rad skeleton man in armor! Everybody loves rad skeletons in armor! If they know what's good for them!

Gustave Dore’s Satan from Paradise Lost

Yes, there are a lot of demons on this list! Because they show up a lot in monster-related art and are dope/iconic as hell! And, what list of characters from classic art would be complete without somethinf from Dore?!

I picked the Paradise Lost Satan over the Dante's Inferno one not just because of bat-winged-bishie and all, but because it'd probably be relatively easier to make and also less cost-prohibitive, but the Inferno one comes at a close second.

John Bauer’s Trolls

Everybody loves Norwegian Trolls! IF THEY KNOW WHAT'S GOOD FOR THEM!

And what better basis for an action figure than one of the greats of nordic troll designs, John Bauer?! This'd be especially good if they were larger figures at a larger price point, if only so you could re-enact the scene above with [Insert Animu Waifu Here]/Super Pochaco

That One Fucked Up Stork Demon From Salvador Rosa’s The Temptation of St Anthony

I'm not sure quite how to justify that I want an action figure of it except, holy shit, look at it.

And also I'm pretty sure it's what they based Slogra on in Castlevania, so if you want an equivalent to them while knowing #FucKonami isn't gonna get paid; that is also a good reason to want the storkbeast

Charles R. Knight’s Laelaps

We had to put a pic from the master of classic paleoart on here, andI think this is a good balance between “iconic” and “of a species that will never get a figure otherwise”

Plus, that, and they'd be perfect for either a two pack or for justifying buying two of, not to mention being literally designed for posing!

Saturn from Goya’s Saturn Devouring His Son

We all knew this had to be on here. The disquieting nightmarish gaze of the figure would be fascinating to see translated into three dimensions, and the accessory of his son would be perfect!

Plus, think of all the extremely, extremely dark comedy photoshoots you could make with this fucker! I know I at least want to see that one of these days from @theassortment, so make it happen Goodsmile! And also the rest of these, taht too!

But, which ones do you think would make for good figures that i missed out on in this list? I know of at least afew I plan to use for another one, and I’m always willing to ask about more! So, tell me in the reblogs/replies folks!

end of work week so No Brain Energy for a “full post” so here’s just like. a brain dump of stuff i liked and disliked about 7 deadly sins (s1). pretty spoiler-y

dislikes (so that we end the post on the most tasty part of the meal)

they give melio.das a flaw of “repeated sexual offender” with the same level of gravitas and plot-irrelevance that ya authors make their self-insert protagonists “clumsy” (i.e. it’s written as a “flaw” but doesn’t affect the plot and is often used for ““comedic effect””). unlike clumsiness though, repeatedly groping women should get a person arrested. thanks

elizabeth is still a damsel

jericho. not the feminist take that the author thinks she is. awful

ultimately the cool female villains turn out to be not that strong or important, and also get love interest’d with members of the main heroic cast (& both’s motives depend on a man)

depending on how her character arc ends up diane’s obsession with wishing she wasn’t a giant is kinda uncomfortable

i don’t mind that elaine looks young-ish but i find it uncomfortable that she has an anime kid voice to top it all off (in jp...?)

gil.thunder’s side-switch wasn’t appropriately established and his og character sucks. years of acting as a moustache-twirling bishie villain don’t appear to have affected his psyche in a meaningful way, and it’s impossible to come away knowing what he’s supposed to act like now

final villains of the first arc are BORING (i think they get more characterisation after they come back to life lmao)

usual shonen bullshit that is both a draw to the show and also makes threat levels kind of ridiculous and non-existent after a certain point (getting bogged down in endless fights, people coming back to life, refusal to acknowledge that maybe their society’s awful power structures are the problem, rapidly changing definition of “the most powerful villain EVER”, etc.)... all encompassed in one pig death fakeout

the weird fatphobic king thing

tiddy outfits. (though i don’t mind didane’s actually?)

more generalised misogyny

the most important hetero ships this season are mediocre

if you know king arthur shit you will know that everyone’s loosely based off of characters from arthurian myth. if you don’t know you will be so pissed when king arthur the 16yo sports anime character shows up to be like “YOUR NEXT ARC IS HERE”

holy SHIT the second opening song is so bad. it’s so bad y’all (the the first op for comparison)

likes

all the characters are adult colleagues (above everything else) and they act like it. (they’re... kind of found family nakama but there’s a bit more there.) they’re all unique, respected, practiced masters of their craft from the beginning of the story

gula & jericho for the when they were threatening were REALLY cool. i am so psyched at the thought of a random minor young female villain who is so badass & dedicated to the evil cause she’s willing to enter a near-death state to chase some random losers into hell. gula’s outfit slaps

(cw: suicide) ban is a really neat character. he’s like... an interpretation of a “vampire curse”. he was never really happy before he achieved immortality (seeking it only because ”if you live long enough, something good might happen to you eventually, i guess”), and getting it (by accident) only made him Worse - more self-destructive and more isolated from the people around him. he often can’t bring himself to care about much of anything, other people don’t care about him, and ultimately his existence is so fucked up and he’s laden with so much guilt that he doesn’t care about himself either. but he’s also a fun guy! incredibly powerful! will help you beat up your abusive dad! probably bi! also he has his tits out at all times and who am i to say no 2 that

personality: part of the reason that he’s isolated from other people (and othered) is his social class... but a main part of it is how his childhood kind of, created his personality. he doesn’t really connect to social norms (or laws), has niche interests, and has a “weird”, disconnected personality (again, made way worse by living 100 years past his lifetime). that being said, he’s not emotionally unintelligent, has interests outside of fighting, and is ultimately a good person

(maybe don’t read this one if you’re interested in watching? it’s all spoilers) Depression: ban willingly runs head-first into danger not just bc it’s a valid fighting technique for someone who can’t die but bc he’s... too ready to give up. but this reveal is only interesting bc it comes after like. a period of getting along with the group, being friends and having fun. ultimately hanging out with them hasn’t solved his problems - it’s just made him able to put them aside for a little while... until his trauma gets brought up, at which point he’s willing to take the first hint of an easy exit, despite how unlikely it is that it’d achieve his supposed goal, if it just lets him relieve himself of his guilt and existential suffering by letting him believe for just one second that he can fix all of the things that he “broke” with his own death (note: killing melio.das would have broken his heart and probably have been suicide by proxy). (this causes a lot of trouble and is not framed as positive, but it’s also not framed as all his fault. and he has to deal with the consequences of this? he realises in retrospect that it was an incredibly unsound idea? and lEAVES THE GROUP BC HE REALISES HE HAS TO TAKE A BREAK???)

comparing ban to a traditional vampire arc: unlike with vampires (who are often an allegory for a group of people, e.g. rich people or oppressed groups) there’s only one ban. and therefore instead of having a group with the same trauma he just suffers alone

meaningful conflict between the main characters. i don’t think i’ve ever really gotten this in a shonen show? there’s a LOT of unresolved trauma. the characters still work together bc they’re Adults... but it’s simmering

ban <-> meli: meli is the only person besides elaine who ever really understood ban... but that doesn’t mean that ban’s ok, now (in fact, the resentment about only being understood by one person kind of makes him... worse). (e: meli also has connections to the rare fantasy creature which started ban’s life hell). ban has too much damage to the point that he becomes a liability

ban <-> king: resolved early, but still good. king is convinced that ban is the cause of all of his suffering partly bc he’s too jealous to admit that smo else got close to his sister when he couldn’t; ban has enough guilt that he just Takes It. even afterwards their personalities are kind of incompatible so it’s fun to see them hang out

meli <-> (king <-> diane): relationship drama but it’s not a frustrating bc it’s relevant to each character’s flaws and Baggage (and the plot doesn’t bother to pretend that diane will end up with melio). king has a lot of guilt over accidentally (?) ghosting his family and SOME of it’s valid (but not all). king is jealous of meli for being the target of diane’s affection but also kind of lowkey thinks he doesn’t deserve her bc of the pain he’s caused her

meli <-> elizabeth <-> diane: diane KNOWS she’s not going to be in a relationship with meli but she still desperately holds onto hope. diane’s fears about being unlovable feed into her lack of self esteem as an oppressed (or at minimum, villanized) minority

elizabeth (the princess) is firmly a member of the team and her determination and character improvement is taken seriously. she DOES get badass moments BEFORE she’s revealed to be a reincarnated angel child or whatever

diane (the only female member of the 7 sins who has a big role this season) is consistently taken seriously (by the writers & other characters)

elizabeth & diane get to INTERACT!! and BE FRIENDS!!

i love elaine. first show i’ve seen that (unintentionally? & through fantasy tropes??) nails Older Sister Disease, i.e. the oldest female sibling being left to deal with all the family business, emotional and physical baggage, while all the male/younger siblings just fuck off. caring for your family members but also lowkey resenting them. they don’t invalidate her feelings even after relieving king of a little of the responsibility for her suffering. (i liked the romance prequel manga a lot - i p much only picked up the anime bc i bought into the romance b/w her and ban)

(despite everything) meli.odas acts like a proper leader for his squad. he takes his responsibilities seriously and treats his colleagues as his equals

ngl the twist with gowther disguising himself and his protagonist hair as a disposable marked-for-death npc was really funny

aesthetic is unique and distinct from the overdone isekai dnd fantasy that’s popular atm

the first ed song by flow & granr.odeo cheers me up every time

the feeling of going on an adventure with your buddies. it’s fun!

#pfssws #tl;dr the character relationships are interesting? #in smth like bleach or naruto there's either very little conflict b/w the protagonists OR there's a lot of dramatic heel-turning #but in this it's more like everyone's always on the same side but they have interconnected histories and traumas

WHAT  INSPIRED  YOU  TO  TAKE  ON  THIS  MUSE : i don’t know exactly??? its been years since i first picked up the muse and like coming back has helped me discover a lot of things i love about arthur lmao -- he’s just a sweetheart and deserved none of jack and miranda’s bullshit. and i think i might have been upset that he was so shit on as a character because he’s not a bishie.

WHAT  ARE  YOUR  FAVOURITE  ASPECTS  OF  YOUR  CURRENT  MUSE : HE’S SUCH A SWEET BEAN.... totally trusting, doesn’t think people like jack would have ulterior motives -- but also that relatable self-deprecation and not thinking he’s worth much, despite being incredibly intelligent, just really shy and awkward.

WHAT’S  YOUR  BIGGEST  INSPIRATION  WHEN  IT  COMES  TO  WRITING : [SLAMS FISTS DOWN] period dramas ( as of current, m.arco p.olo has been a lot of the driving muse as of late ), chillhop / chillstep when im trying to concentrate, georgian / baroque music, g.ame of t.hrones lmao, other people’s writing --

FAVOURITE  TYPES  OF  THREADS : fluff and angst but i live for angst.
