The Ka’ren: An Ancestral Lineage

Created using GMBinder Art by Blad Moran

From the creator of The Floridian (that’s me!) comes another satirical character option, the Ka’ren. Descendants of this lineage hold an inexplicable sense of entitlement that demands to see life’s manager! Do you know how much gold I spend here every month? Do you know who I am?! How dare you speak to me that way! I will be talking to my lawyer!

Spread rumors and hot goss as a Ka’ren Whispers Bard, channel your truly inhuman monster as a Ka’ren Aberrant Sorcerer, or peddle cheap goods as a Ka’ren who formed a pact with my upcoming Cabal patron. Let me know what other Ka’ren characters you come up with!

Hello hello! This is Relating to the prison au and the idea suddenly came to me but how would it differ if the mc was a a lot younger like an intern? I tried searching more if it was even allowed to be a med student intern in a prison but I dunno I just thought it was a neat idea, like if she appeared like an optimistic platonic younger sister more than a romantic interest? Aaaa sorry English isn't my first language I hope the idea got through ^^'

I want to congratulate you, anon... you're the first person in a long time to ask something related to prison au that has never been asked before!

Sans: Unfortunately, he'll be even worse. More manipulative, more possessive... more evil. With an older Mc he might see her as easy to manipulate, but he still absolutely views her as her own person- he'd do bad stuff but he (at least) would still respect her opinions and choices. When she's young, he does not respect her opinions and choices. She's just a kid who doesn't know better, someone who needs him to make the big decisions on her behalf.

The worst part is, once he attaches, he sees her like a little sister. It really fucks up his mind- all of those messy, dark, painful feelings about Papyrus, all that unresolved grief from losing one younger sibling... he doesn't care what happens to anyone. Or anything. So long as he doesn't lose any more family.

He's kind to her; oh-so-kind, a sweet and goofy older brother figure who makes terrible puns and chats to her for hours about her favourite videogames. But he's a terrifying empty creature, and he's absolutely going to use her youth and inexperience to his advantage, to make her trust him more than everyone else. Nothing is off the table.

Red: Red adores her. Much like Sans, he ends up in something of a 'big brother' role- the difference is that Red's connection with her is a lot healthier and gentler, with a decent amount of friendly 'fighting' (tossing harmless insults at each other). He turns into a different person around her; he minds his language somewhat, he manages his temper better, although he teases her his teasing never has any venom and he'll drop jokes that upset her. He was built to be a big brother, and he misses his Papyrus a lot- it feels good to have a bond like that with someone again.

(Speaking of Papyrus- he loves Mc too. He sees the effect she has on Red and he absolutely wants to encourage the positive growth. Also... he always wanted a younger sibling.)

Red makes jokes about giving her contraband or getting her in trouble, and her presence in his life has put her firmly on the inmate no-touch list. Red may be a criminal, and he may associate with people who have done terrible things... but he reserves the worst of the worst punishments for those who hurt kids, and his family. Let alone both.

She's been adopted by the mob.

Skull: Skull's intense feelings about Mc in the prison aus aren't really specifically romantic or platonic in the first place. It's his Soul crying out for love and connection after so long alone. They're just Skull Feelings- so a platonic Mc would see the same degree of insanity, desperation and clinginess from our darling cannibal as her older nurse counterpart.

But... I think he would be a bit better with her, overall. Mc being noticeably younger, in his eyes, makes her more 'fragile'- both emotionally and physically. That nagging thought of i need to be careful and responsible would centre him a little more, make him more aware, gentle and slow. In the same way he wouldn't want to frighten a small child, he doesn't want to frighten her; he moves like hes trying not to spook away a small animal. He'd be better at smiling.

... He would still get moments where he can't help himself. Moments where he snaps out of restraints and grabs her, moments where he attacks other staff for getting too close to her. But he tries.

#llamagines #prison au #i can never escape it #not that im complaining #love this au #sans 24/7 manages his image so she'll always come to him first... he's so silly and easy to speak to #she tells him everything and he 'tells her everything' too #meanwhile red is like ''hey shortie. short lil hobbit. you keep talkin' to me like that and ill put knives in your bag to get you fired.''

So are we just playing “send Shima quick doodle prompts to shake off the rust”?

In that case, you can never go wrong with toothcup

AUGH...AUGUGHHG...

I haven't drawn them in YEARS thank you for this

Also like. I know initially my idea was that human Toothless could talk regularly like everyone else. But mute Toothless who can sign is also......so good......

This is Perry's fault for poisoning my brain /j

#HTTYD #How To Train Your Dragon #Hiccup #Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III #Toothless #Toothcup #Human Toothless #I actually DO have thoughts about this. #So this AU...I guess it is an AU now--Toothless and the other dragons can shapeshift between human and dragon form #Which is like. Considered a rarity. And a privilege for dragons #The only drawbacks is that they kinda stick out...they retain a lot of their dragon-like qualities #Which makes it tricky to blend in with humans if that is the goal. But most dragons with this ability manage (if they choose to do so) #It varies from dragon to dragon ofc. But Toothless is one of the few who just CAN'T speak as a human #He's tried. But it sounds like a garbled mess lol #Some of the other dragons have a much better grasp on the human language and how to actually speak #But it's cool bc Hiccup teaches Toothless sign and that's how they communicate #NOW. The difference between Perry and Toothless is that generally Perry is very quiet. Kinda comes with the territory of being an agent #Toothless on the other hand. He's very loud. Even if he's mute #I mean yes he CAN be quiet if he wants. Night Fury duh. He's very good at stealh #*stealth #BUT if he's not focusing on being sneaky he's actually quite rambunctious lol #He may not be able to talk! But he sure does make a lot of other noises!! Most very dragon-like!! #Hiccup unconsciously mimics Toothless every now and then. It is VERY cute #Shima arts #ANYWAY I'm done rambling now lol thank you for giving me the excuse to draw them <3333 #Doodles #Art #Digital art #shima-draws

maybe we'll try again next time.

#pikart #projmoon #(LONG TAGS..) i talk a lot about that latter part of poems of a machine but the first chorus never fails to break my heart too #i can never remember what ive talked about and what i havent so ill do it again anyway. #specifically the line 'so here i lie; reading you my poetic stupid rhymes.' especially in conjunction with the very first lyric. #all this built up... mess and madness; concepts of impossible scope and importance for just a few words. #its the desire to express a truth outside of your reach. to tentatively try to identify; to speak; and only managing so much. #clumsy; basic; small; but it still holds a piece of your heart anyway. its not enough; but its real; its tangible; and thus important. #am i making sense? its the first steps into writing poetry / into self expression / into self acceptance / into healing and growing. #and the implication these words are being shared; despite all of this; despite all of Her. augh. #i really do think a lot about th stark difference btwn her Knowledge and her Experience. how she feels she Should function vs how she Does. #knowing how something should be vs how it Is. yknow. #anyway Oops ! Lyric Rambling In The Tags Again ! <33

Thinking about Gale this morning, and that comment he makes in the epilogue about how he uses the threat of the bomb in his chest as a classroom management strategy. And…my guy. That’s….As a high school English teacher, I’ve got some bad news.

That’s not a deterrent. That’s a fucking challenge.

#gale #gale dekarios #bg3 gale #the chaos #I just imagine the students take bets #how close can we bring our teacher to blowing up? #his supervisor is like…so your classroom management is threat of death? #cool cool cool #let’s maybe brainstorm some other options #because this isn’t real effective is it? #sloth speaks

[puppyeared]

for like 3 weeks i was wondering why i was sleeping so much and felt listless. and just now I managed to email 3 people and responded to a month old message in the span of an hour because I got back to TAKING MY FUCKIN MEDS..........

#MOTHER FFFFUCKER #to be fair. my doc said I could stop taking them while im on break since i wouldnt need to be constantly pumped on stimulants #im not sure if it was a side effect but i managed to take like 3 different naps in one day and STILL managed to sleep thru the whole night #at least 2 days into my break. the weird thing is i didnt feel more or less rested afterwards. but mentally i think im in a good place rn #to really put the level of awakeness im at rn i feel weirdly confident i could start one piece. also bc of that sick new opening it BANGS #the song is really good and im in love with the animation style. did some digging and it seems one of the lead animators is masato mori #but i could be wrong. it seems he also did some work on mp100 which could explain a lot lol.. he uses smear frames really well to convey #consistent movement and fluidity!!! someone else might have done color design but it works really really well esp with odas style!! #just love the overall vibe and aesthetic and id really love to study it and incorporate a bit of it into my art.. especially the thick #outlines which i think helps to separate characters and objects on screen. though i have to say the style is definitely more suited to #animation bc of the simpleness and smears. maybe that will help me explore shapes and perspective when i draw... i wanna get better #at drawing poses and angles but i have a hard time wrapping my head around space and using perspective guide lines NGHHHH #i wonder if it has to do with my dogshit ability to judge distance. not depth perception but like. judge how far smth is in metres etc #im also wearing an N95 for the first couple weeks back bc of the wave. absolutely NO BODY is wearing a mask its so fucking over #where im sitting ive heard 5 different people coughing probably not into their elbows!!! and im just. head in my fucking hands #there was a kid sitting a couple seats away in class coughing as he pleases and i wanted to grab him in a chokehold so badly. PLEASEE #ive been annoying my family by asking them to mask up and reminding them to bring masks when they go out and showing them news articles #but at least its working bc we ordered some KN95s and my mom is at least taking me seriously so. please dont be afraid to speak up abt your #health. take care of yourself and others however u can!! wear that mask indoors at your maskless friends house!!! stay home when u can!! #im wearing a surgical mask at home too bc my parents have '''a dry throat cough''' and they are so bad at coughing into their sleeves #also im pretty sure dry throat isnt transmissible bc my brother started coughing too so.. i also tested negative but they havent tested yet #im also not a doctor but i have to keep reminding ppl whenever i can that covid and flu work differently. covid is new and too recent to #have nearly as much research done on it. it seems its also compounding so instead of building immunity it weakens the body and spreads to #to other systems which might explain brain fog and muscle weakness. i remember someone early in the pandemic got infected and it messed up #their smell/taste receptors so bad that they cant eat most foods and that stays in the front of my mind when i think abt covid. christ #yapping

Feel free to ask about any of these, I just answer asks slowly because of anxiety around disappointing people or just not having an immediate response. Or if they're compliments i just save them for encouragement.

#ninjago #coffee speaks #coffee doodles #sketch #coffee wips #ninjago au #This post is fucking massive buts its interest how i manage to not juggle any of these properly #arena is the most fleshed out its just time consuming and i think i hate the animation process but like animations yknow?? #same with the animatics...i pick them up once every 2 weeks but with the exception of 'thot' they're all like 1200 frames #and i animate on 8 frames a second for my peace of mind #the rap battles are coming along slowly...they rhyme they just don't burn the way i want them to. I wanna make a server but social anxiety #the last group project i was in Ninjago: Master of abridgedzu fell apart because there wasn't any real order to the thing. #the writing team vs the VA team was vastly different. And i loved every fucking session even the ones never posted #maybe ill di them out of my files and post but most of the mods from that server became inactive like a year ago so i don't know #if im allowed to just post that yknow. #I wanna bring it back but it needs structure that i can't provide by myself. #If you made it to the bottom of this wall of text comment one of these ^-^ so i can be your friend lmao bye #coffee art

Why does everyone wait until the library director is out and I'm the only staff member here to pose weird and unusual questions? I'm not exactly in a position to make an executive decision about whether some student's visiting parents can monopolize one of our study rooms to work remotely from.

(My gut response is no, I can't take that resource away from our students, who are the priority here, and these people are not entitled to use this space simply because they're related to someone who is, but I'm just the ILL assistant and not qualified to lay down the law on this.)

#random personal stuff #what if I told them no and they got mad and did the whole 'let me speak to your manager' business #and I got in trouble with my boss? #we don't have a precise policy that covers this #not that I can find anyway

[mobius-m-mobius]

feel free to ignore this but omg you know thai?????? im beyond elated omg???? ALSO that tag is basically the equivalent of incoherent crying sound like ‘waaaahhh sniff sob wailing waeeee’ lmao 😂 (oh your thai spelling is perfect btw)

Omg no I felt the exact same when I saw your tags!! Which definitely had me cracking up because there's nothing better than sobbing incoherently over Lokius as all of us are proof of every day lmao 🤣

I'm half Thai but grew up in the US having never been taught the language and didn't get into anything Thai related until college so the level at which I can speak/understand anything is tragically low and what mainly gets me by is watching more Thai shows than English and Google Translate, lol 😅 But I was SO excited seeing you know Thai too, what a cool thing to share in the fandom 🥰💖

#sadly can't underestimate my language skills enough haha i'd love to be fluent more than anything #and can at least understand a decent amount but speak like ten words and have to translate anything written multiple times #just glad i managed enough to recognize your tag lol and seriously tysm for sending this!! #always love reading your tags anyway so to see thai there was such an amazing surprise and lokius deserves all the love in the world 🥺 #hope you're doing well and have a great week ahead 💖💖 #ask

You know maybe its because since the beginning there was a little bit of friction between them, more on lando's side, and how obvious it was which driver mclaren prefers (we aren't going to enter this debate), but the whole interview leaves a bitter taste on the mouth and its astonishing to me how can you say you feel zero sympathy towards your teammate AND said it because you only wants to focus on your driving and you're not there to help.

And to people that are saying "oh he's right, not his job, he doesn't need to feel sympathy nor daniel wants." I get, but a little human decency will not harm you nor your carrer

As the amazing Susie Wolff said once:

"The sport is brutal you need to ruthless, competitive. But I don't believe that to be successful you need to be an asshole"

#read tags!!!! #i understand lando's pov of wanting to focus on his driving but f1 is still a team's sport (i thing a lot of people forget this) #you AND your teammate work together to help the team to win no one is saying you need to go easy on him but you helping him helps the team #otherwise you have another brocedes situation and we do not want that again #also the fact susie said this about rbr and horner speaks volume when i can use it in this situation #like rancid vibes #and can someone please tell me wtf is mclaren doing??? i understand they dont care but please basic pr management is not that difficult jfc #anyway zero hate to lando but i still thing it was a bit of dick move #lets hope they can actually have an amazing end of season please #f1 #daniel ricciardo #lando norris #mclaren

[ohbutwheresyourheart]

girlies I'm losing my mind.

#personal #vent #oh my goddddd #i thought my coworker and i were finally making decent progress on our project #that we have to present on THURSDAY MORNING #and this is the biggest project we need to do twice a year #only to find. at five fucking pm today. that she had not informed me we are resourcing two of our biggest fabric programs to a new supplier #which supplier? don't know #just know it's not going to be the one I've been planning for #and that the fabric program i DID want to resource #and had SPOKEN TO HER ABOUT TODAY #cannot go to the supplier I pencilled it in as #i don't know if she didn't know herself or just forgot or didn't care or didn't understand or what #for fuck's sake this is your job to know this stuff #don't just sit there looking gormless while i have to find out from YOUR BOSS #who then speaks to me in the most patronizing manner possible as she tells me she can't do my job for me #like motherfucker i just. need. correct. information. jesus christ. #also shout out to the big boss who last week was like tell me if you have any scheduling concerns guys!!! #and then when i told her today i have scheduling concerns because. uh. the fucking project is not going. anywhere. at this rate. #get told oh no sorry we can't do any schedule moves you can figure it out #like???? what???? was the point????? of asking us to come to you???? #this is such a prolific fucking issue in my workplace and it drives me nuts #it's like management have heard these trite phrases on a managing people skills course somewhere #and not realised you need to back it up. with actual. actions. #also my manager whomst i loved is now on maternity leave and her replacement is someone i've worked with previously and. hm. suffice to say #she has not changed one bit #in regards to her complete inability to stand up for her team #i'm sure she has her good points but she's as supportive as a fucking wet paper towel #ignoring me trying to set boundaries on my time #but making sure SHE leaves on time for school pickup
