According to the artist, when it was suggested that a smile might benefit the look of the finished portrait, Attaché Nohell reportedly replied, "I thought the purpose of this was to be honest."

Super fun commission of @waterloggedsoliloquy's OC Sicely Nohell (they/them) and their terrible, horrible, no good, very bad lusus figure Commanding Officer.

andrew norman dolores (he/they) — a friend (or foe. or whatevs) for @squea's corn gp

occult: none

aspiration: spellcraft & sorcery

traits: bookworm, genius, overachiever, self-absorbed, socially awkward

age: adult (somewhere between late 20s to early 30s)

orientation: graysexual gay man

career: freelance writer

skills: charisma (4), cooking (5), entrepreneur (3), fitness (2), herbalism (6), medium (2), research & debate (7), writing (7)

(also comes with milestones (the simology one not the aspiration one), favorite umbrella, and preferred phone case too because i put maybe a little TOO much effort into him)

FUN FACTS

adoptive human son of two late powerful spellcasters. chose to be the World's Normalest Person™ and developed a complex over his nature as a regular human which he perceives as inferiority

his inflated ego and wounded pride forces him to reject anything less than visiting the magic realm and completing the sages' test himself as cheating

unfortunately for him, his poor constitution makes him prone to fainting under sunlight and leaves him completely winded after walking for more than 15 minutes at a time without breaks. with a hometown of henford-on-bagley and a current place of residence located in san myshuno, he does NOT live near glimmerbrook at all

did not have many friends growing up, thanks to his younger self's meek nature and general lack of social skills. even NOW he still lacks social skills, but he has learned to mask them behind a veneer of cold aloofness.

writes as a hobby (and lately, as a profession) whenever he's stuck at home

usually eats pre-cooked dishes and quick meals because of his low budget; what knowledge he has in cooking comes from messing with his moms' cauldron when they weren't home back when he was younger

just as spellcasters are—exaggeratedly or not—known for forgetting about their limits, andrew is HORRIBLE at taking care of himself. the man has been known to be so absorbed in his studies that he forgets to sleep for days at a time until his body finally decides to clock out

tumblr user squea if you are reading this and you'd like to kidnap this man into your game please let me know by DMing me!!! mostly because this is my first time sharing a sim with someone else over the internet and i don't trust me not to publicly humiliate myself lol

#corn was actually one of my biggest inspirations for making this sideblog because of his Silly so i figured i'd toss my hat in the ring too! #anyway don't let his looks fool you andrew may look cool but let me assure you he is a sopping wet pathetic little meow meow #the sims 4 #ts4 #ts4 simblr #simblr #sim: andrew norman dolores #snag's sim tag

i can’t explain why but this makes me ill

#like i feel a legit knot in my stomach #tbh i’m not like the biggest beatles fan anymore but #it’s crazy to me how the band that did so much to open the cultural and musical worlds to people #and who used their status at the top of the world to genuinely push music forward and inspired countless acts #will be dethroned by someone who [while i won’t say is untalented but i personally struggle to find the good lyricist singer dancer or #performer or musican in] by all accounts is just a business tbh #like there’s nothing for music its all for charts accolades and money and that’s horrifying to think that someone can get this far with that #being the biggest goal. #that’s like sending 2010 mick jagger into the 60s and getting him to make the rolling stones popular #like businessman ≠ artist #you have to have an actual talent or reason for popularity to become popular and i see none of that #there’s no progression for anyone but her: the beatles pushed music stones pushed culture michael jackson pushed desegregation of popular #music #and she has…. ? #just looking for something she’s truly accomplished other than beating records because that’s all it seems to be #and she has no humanitarian reason for fame either #elton john was a huge star and remained a huge star not due to his musical output or breaking records but because he’s dedicated so much #time and money to causes greater than himself #he didn’t need to beat the beatles to carve his own place out in history #no one should have to beat them to that #their impact should be felt in ways that make it hard to think of a culture without them #because as it stands she’ll be seen as the chick that beat the beatles #never once used as a marker herself #it will still be them because they will remain important to culture and music #just as they would be without setting records #hell look at bob dylan #he has like 0 chart records and was given a nobel prize and will continue to be the marker for lyrical excellence #it just makes me so mad that the person who will beat all these records is doing it just to beat records tbh #it’s not deserved or even slightly important #it’s just a record to beat which SUCKS anyways i talked too long but im mad so :/

You have Cat Quest aus?

Fgsgvjthjhj

I do! Well, just one lol

I call it the Second Chance AU It's specifically for Cat Quest 2

Basically the two protagonists are sent back home, but instead of losing all their memories they keep them, and are forced to figure out how to fix things before both fall into all out chaos.

#It's mainly about them making connections with the people in the kingdoms #because one of Lioner and Wolfen's biggest flaws was not paying attention to the needs of the subjects #for the sake of separation I call the main protagonists Felis and Canis respectively #that way I don't have to always specify which version of them I'm taking about #this is just a basic summary of it (I just woke up and my brain is still trying to start up lol) and there's a couple more details that #are in the story. like O had this whole idea for a cult that followed Aelius that would act as the main antagonist (inspired by an anime #I really like) and with the AU came a lot of filling in little world building details not touched on by the game #like how magic works and the differences in culture between the two kingdoms (I've been meaning to do some research for that) #I also have an idea for a sub-plot touching on what could have happened to Felinguard and why he mysteriously disappeared #there's also a handful of ocs. some of which I have yet to draw. that will be included due to the nature of the story being about connection #anyway #it's still technically in developmental phase partly because I'm afraid of it not coming across right when I write it down #so yea #Skylar answers stuff #thank you btw :) seeing this first thing in the morning made my day

Apollo with thick eyebrows and freckles and body hair is my truth. He's a small tank also. Wide. He works out bc 1: he does not want to ever be called a twink and 2: it helps with stress and God knows he is STRESSED. Oh also he's trans. Also when his hair is un-gelled it looks almost exactly like trucy's, his lil bunny ears curl around his face all cute and he hates it which is why he gels it back so aggressively

#apollo justice #hes my ideal transition goals ngl #like the image of him in my head is like yes. yes this is what i want to be someday. #he has inspired me to finally talk to my dr about being trans and wanting to seek transition #im goig to be really really clear abouty dysphoria being one of the biggest sources of anxiety and depression for me #and it making me feel so bad i dont even want to leave the house sometimes bc i dont pass well usually #bc you never want to undersell your dysphoria to a doctor or therapist. if anything you should oversell it to ensure you can get care #like you dont have to say you want to die or anything bc thats always risky to tell any medical professional but like. #but always tell them it makes you hate yourself even if its not true #if you need to lie about what exactly your gender identity is to get the type of care you need too then fucking do it #doctors will not give a nonbinary person HRT 90% of the time sometimes u need to fib a little about your gender to get what u need!!!!

#dungeons and dragons #ratfolk #bard #dnd #swift tag #my art #furry #for ref the biggest i would ever go was 3000x3000; this is 6000. my previous computer had 4gb ram. this one has 16 #she's using armor of agathys btw (magical secrets;) my dm let it be lightning because he knows she's pikachu inspired lol #i came really close to using this move on our rogue npc in a play spar today but then she charmed me lol

if you take one thing away from my tumblr it should be me begging you to listen to the original version of clay pigeons by blaze foley, not the indie version by michael cera. for the love of country music, please.

#this isn’t even hate to mr cera it’s just if one more person thinks he wrote it im gonna scream #blaze wrote it! blaze deserves love and he has a gorgeous voice #a lotta ppl think prine wrote it because he did a cover of it #and to be fair blaze was a huge john prine fan so clay pigeons sounds a bit like a prine song he’d write himself #but no #blaze foley is great and one of my biggest writing inspirations #blaze foley

ohh man, your art is amazing!! if it's alright to ask, what brushes do you use for that textured effect, it reminds me of concept artists like shiyoon kim

i mainly use these three brushes from mingjue helen chen’s brush set (you can download them here) ! other than armgripchalk, i also use shiyoon kim’s ink brushes when drawing the line art/sketching :0

#ask #brushes #so glad you noticed the shiyoon kim influence #he's one of my biggest inspirations !

I need to say that I have yet to read Tr*als of Apollo and I don't think I will anytime soon (because I am focusing on other books in my reading list), even though I am aware of what happens in this book series but I will not fully acknowledge it until I read the books so that being said, Rey/na is still a praetor in my canon.

#❧ ⸻ jane speaks . #she will probably continue to be for some time #even after i read the books #i just wanted to say that i really didn’t like that she decided to be a hunter #i also don't really like the concept of the hunters of artemis in r*ck's books #i mean they are okay but the way that he just uses the group to thrown certain characters there really annoys me #there is also this possibility that /he might/ have taken inspiration from the wild hunt to create the group and that annoys me more #because it just messes up the whole concept you know??? #thats one of my biggest pet peeve but that will be a post for another time

[sureuncertainty]

everyone hating on taylor swift constantly on this site makes me think about that post about how everyone had a twilight phase, either you were obsessed with twilight or you hated it but either way you had a phase where you devoted time and energy to twilight.

her being named time person of the year in 2023 is so accurate bc either you love her or you hate her but either way you devote a lot of energy to her. the way some of y'all on here feel the desperate need to prove how much you despise her shows how influential she really is lmao

#also i won't get into the way that all that hatred is literally just misogyny #the time article was really good it talked about how taylor is not only a master of storytelling (which she is) and an inspiration #but also how she gives people especially young girls permission to feel their feelings and emotions even the big messy ones #when so many are gaslit into thinking that their feelings don't matter that they're being to sensitive or too much #and it resonates with me so much it resonates with a LOT of people and y'all are still out here being absolute children about not liking he #grow the fuck up #not to mention what she's done with the rerecordings so she can own her own music #or the eras tour and how influential it has been #you cannot deny what a massive influence she has on pop culture and art no matter what your feelings about her are #and if you like my work? guess what a lot of it is inspired by. guess who is one of my biggest inspirations. take a guess. #i feel like i've ranted about this before but here it is again lol #win rambles

so vesper reads fanfiction huh, so what fanfic do they like to read? any particular tropes they enjoy?

also, does fanfiction of the superhero teams exist in this world, and if so, how would the cast feel if they had fanfiction about them?

+ just wanted to say, everything you have is so interesting! (i love leon, he gives me a lot of blue beetle vibes!)

First of all I want to say that I am so glad that you are interested in what I have so far! It means a lot to hear that other people are enjoying these characters and this world that I am creating!

Also Leon was greatly inspired by Blue Beetle and a bunch of characters like him! So I’m glad you picked up on that! Always happy to see another Blue fan!

So onto your questions:

Vesper likes all types of fanfictions from a bunch of different in-universe fandoms. Mainly though they like this game called “The Psyche of Mors” which is basically a murder mystery/psychological horror game (think Ace Attorney but very heavily mixed in with games like Your Turn to Die, Danganronpa or even Omori).

(In the original draft and notes for the IF, this game was actually going to be a pretty big deal because one of the only things the MC would know about Vesper was that they were a fan of it but anyways-)

Some tropes that Vesper enjoys are found family, hurt no comfort, soulmates, and hanahaki (you can take that information however you please).

As for your third question, fanfic of the superhero teams 100% exist in universe! As for how the characters would react to it…

(I’m only doing the ROs because the sidekick squad wouldn’t have much fanfic written about them because they are all extremely new to the hero scene!)

Alex: She is flattered but also a little uncomfortable by it? She considers hero work her job so she kinda considers it unprofessional on some level. She’s pretty uncomfortable with having fans in general though.

Jasper: He finds it funny. Will 100% look himself up when he’s bored and read through fanfics with him (and other members of Aequitas) in it. Sometimes he‘ll even leave comments correcting the fans on certain details.

Zoe: Flattered but also she still doesn’t really understand the concept of fanfiction? She doesn’t really understand the (horrors) whole fandom thing other than people like her enough to create things about her which she finds sweet if not a little baffling.

Rowan: Hates it. He doesn’t like public attention and the fact that there are people writing stories about him and his life makes him uncomfortable. He shudders a little whenever he thinks about it.

#aequitas #my characters #my if #anon ask #ask #ros #ro scenario #vesper #worldbuilding #kinda? #also since you picked up on Leon being inspired by blue beetle thing I will give you a special fun fact #Fun Fact: One of Vesper’s inspirations was Impulse (Bart Allen) #He wasn’t like their BIGGEST influence but I feel like you can still feel a little bit of that inspiration in their vibes

[keikakudori]

Happy Munday! Please tell us some fun little facts about the mun 💫 what are the things that inspire you? like things or people?

ooc ;

awh, what a great question, anon-san!

to no one's surprise, lmao, i will always do the will smith pose at cas ( @godkilller for those of you who don't know ) as one of my biggest sources of inspiration. what can i say? my best friend makes me want to write when we're up to something, be it having fun on discord or punching people in the emotions over here on tumblr. we do a lot of screaming at one another constantly and i'm always eager to read his writing because, goddamn, that is actually ichimaru gin right there. just. gonna do a little chef's kiss over cas's writing all the time. so yeah, cas is one of my biggest sources of inspiration! and always will be! i suppose my other really big source of inspiration is music, particularly synthwave or retrowave. if i'm having some issues focusing on writing, i can pop some on and it usually helps me with my brain juices on getting them going! it's one of the best sources of inspiration for me. i also absolutely draw a ton of inspiration from media i consume with hannibal being one of the biggest factors of inspiration for me; what can i say? the vibes for channeling some hannibal into my rendition of aizen? absolutely immaculate; the mindgames, the manipulation, the murder? absolutely on point, i have to say, for aizen and i really do love to run comparisons of aizen and hannibal in my thoughts. while aizen isn't cannibalistic, he and the good doctor are definitely rather alike in some ways; of course, when i say hannibal, i mean the show, the books, and the movies - yes, even hannibal rising. those are probably the three biggest pieces of inspiration for me, i have to say!

#ask tbt; #Anonymous #i'm late on answering this but i hope you see it anon! #and yes i'm always going to scream over cas and his writing #i will absolutely point at him as one of my utterly biggest writing inspiration sources #cas gives me SO MUCH LIFE in how he describes things! #me: he walked in a walky way down the street with his walking legs---

Hopelessly devoted to....

🌙Bin

I had played out meeting you in my head a million times over the years. What outfit i would wear, how close to the stage i would be, how many slogans to bring.. what i would ever say to you if i somehow managed to win a fancall. What drawing of you i would try to show you without looking creepy lol. Ugh...

I'll miss ur giant arms and tiny lips. Ill miss ur gentle voice that always contrasted ur physical stature and intensity. Ill miss ur perpetually hairless armpits and how you were usually the only member that got sweat stains when performing lol. Ill miss the dumb stuff i just loved that you did.. like the way you lit up whenever you were next to MJ.

You were so good at everything you did. Im gonna love you forever moonbinnnn. You will always be my 2nd ult bias of all time. 4EVR+ALWYZ.. 🌙💜⭐💖

(the squiggle on his forehead is bc i used a scrap of paper closest to me and didnt check it before i started the drawing lol)
