I was looking at your Halloween posts of the HoM and a thought occurred. Is Ben's extreme fear of ghosts/spirits and stuff related to his experiences with Ghostfreak/Zs'skayr?
And how did such fears affect his initial meeting with Danny?
Yes it is related! Original Ben10 run always gave me an impression that beside Vilgax, Ghostfreak/Zs'skayr left probably one of the most lasting impressions on 10-year-old Ben. After all, imagine you are 10 and you can tranform into aliens, but one of them almost takes over you and nearly kills your family member. Like??? I would be having an existential and identity crisis, not to mention the nightmares about not being able to control your own body and hurting your loved ones???
And sure, he defeated Zs'skayr multiple times, but I like to think that his fear of being controlled/taken over by Zs'skayr (or anyone) left one of the deeper scars on his psyche (amongst like a bajillion of others).
So, yes, that fear and trauma did affect his first meeting with Danny >;) very badly.
Their first encounter was full of misunderstandings and miscommunications all around (sort of like what we see happen between Rex and Ben in Heroes United but even worse) AND it didn't help that Ben was... let's just say, not in the greatest state of mind at that time and Danny didn't have the most rational and calm reactions to the situations either. Both had their own valid reasons, but it's still wasn't very good, lol.
There are also two very important extra circumstances surrounding their meeting that contributed to their reactions, that I dont want to spoil, because it would be more fun to try and tell in a story. xD
And there hopefully will be one, because Danny&Ben first meeting is one of the flashbacks that I had a lot of ideas for AND is important to the AU.
FAVOURITE PART OF MAKING THE COMIC? (Ie, sketch, line art, shading, render etc)
^ Least favourite part?
A panel(s) your reallly proud of??
Most complicated character to draw, in your opinion?
Top three character designs that you like?
:DDDDD omg I'm vibrating thank you so much for the questions!!
1. My favorite part of making the comic would probably be the shading and lighting. I do digital art in a few steps; lineart, rendering background, flatting in character colors, shading on characters, and finally, lighting. The last two steps are my favorite because they're so satisfying . I'd have to say my least favorite thing to do digitally is lineart, cause it takes a very long time(and when it's not lineart, it's rendering cobblestone)
2. OOOH panels that I'm proud of! A lot of them XD especially the ones in the most recent update. I did a ton of playing with light sources there, to the point where I had... Four different light sources coming at four different angles. It was a ton of fun to do, and the results are very nice to look at!
3. The most complicated character to draw, well id say that changes from page to page. I'd say overall, Wild with his poncho on is the most complicated to draw, just because of the patterns. When Wild loses the poncho, the title of most complicated to draw would probably go to Captain.
4. Top three character designs I like, OOOH hrmmmm... I think my top favorite design would be Legend, closely followed by Wild, and then Fairy. I just love drawing them, and I love their designs so much!
Hi I hope you know this means the world to me. <3 I listened to it through this morning and loved it!! Really good playlist!! Holding it in my hands....... So many great song choices, they're all very fitting. I'm really glad my stuff inspired you! Thank you so much for sharing! :0
Help I have a wax museum project for school and I’m doing her I cannot find anything about her
OKOKOK This ask is the reason I opened my inbox and discovered all my unanswered asks FSHSJKHFSKH mb. My source for this is Ron Chernow's Alexander Hamilton (because when isn't it) because exactly as you said, there is very little information about Rachel, and Ron walked so the rest of us could run. Here we go
Rachel was one of seven children
Five of Rachel's siblings died in childhood, leaving only our girl and her sister Ann. Ann went on to marry James Lytton after she fled Nevis (where they lived) due to an agricultural plague. Ann Lytton could not take in young Hamilton when he needed it, but she was the only blood relative on Rachel's side that he maintained contact with, and helped her out financially later on.
She was a child of divorce (basically)
Her parents had a very rocky relationship, and this possibly impacted her later relationships with men. Eventually, her parents separated, and she lived with her mother. She seems to have been very close with her mother, as they moved often together, or at least stayed close to one another.
She was previously married, and divorced
Before she met James Hamilton, she was married to man named Johann Lavien. Lavien was really horrible to her and financially and mentally abused her. When she ran away, Lavien sued for divorce, but long story short, Rachel didn't show up for court, and ended up being imprisoned for several years for adultery. The way divorce worked at the time was that a man could win a divorce case with just one accusation of adultery (especially if the woman didn't show up for court) but a woman needed several different, confirmed charges against the man to win. So, it would have been very hard for her to have won in the first place. Also, because of her no-show, she was forbidden from ever remarrying, hence why Hamilton was a bastard.
It is not incorrect to call her Rachel Hamilton and/or Rachel Faucette
While it is probably more respectful to use her maiden name, Faucette, there was a time where she lived as Rachel Hamilton, even though her marriage to James could not have been legally valid. While they lived in Nevis, James and Rachel lived with their two children as a married couple. However, it was when they moved to St. Croix that people recognized her as the former Mrs. Lavien, and tormented her and the boys with their illegitimacy.
She was a very independent woman
If Hamilton inherited anything from his mother, it was his quick thinking and independent mind. Rachel had her own income, and was able to provide for her two sons and tutor them after James left them. She was described by one of Hamilton's sons as "a woman of superior intellect, elevated sentiment, and unusual grace of person and manner. For her he was indebted for his genius." These are all words used to describe Hamilton later in life.
She supported other local women
In teaching her son in his earliest education, she chose a local Jewish woman to do so. Hamilton recalled being taught by her when he was small enough to sit on the table to read next to her. Towards her death, she was tended to by a woman named Ann McDonnell. In a society that was incredibly hostile to women, this was very important.
She died of an unknown illness next to her son, Alexander
She caught a fever in 1768, and was tended to by the aforementioned Ms. McDonnell and a man named Dr. Herring. She was given valerian, and bloodletting was used on Alexander (medicine of the 18th century is a whole other can of worms). Unfortunately, she did not recover, and died at nine o'clock on February 19, 1768.
Those are some of the most important and interesting facts, I believe, about Rachel Faucette. She is really one of my favorite historical figures, and I could talk about her and Maria Reynolds all day. I just love women who overcome the disadvantages they were given in life, I respect them so much. Hope this helps with your project!!!
Dearest Mal, please, give us a sneak-peak of Lana's favourite outfits! 🔥❤️
well since you asked so nicely <333:
she’s a big fan of the leather jacket, loves the color black, is a sucker for a good blazer & a good slip dress. also LMAOO she loves wearing shit like the dilf hoodie with a complete straight face and then when people look at her sideways she’s like what 🤨🤨🤨
I honestly love your depiction of Slenderman and the mansion. As much as I love the whole Slenderman treating everyone with love and being a found family with the residents of the mansion, it feels so refreshing seeing Slenderman act similar to how you portray him! Also, I’m very curious hearing more about slender and Sally’s relationship in the future (or now lol)!!
i'm glad to hear that!! i feel like i've never really given slender much thought or attention before so i feel like my depiction of it is rusty compared to a lot of the other creepypastas so i'm glad to hear that you enjoy it <3
as for slender's relationship with sally:
we all know that slender does Not like children. it goes out of its way to harm them, and actively avoids them in the case that it can't. that's what it did with sally for a really long time.
it avoided her, and treated her mostly like a pest it couldn't get rid of. seeing as she was a permanent resident of the mansion, it can't exactly get rid of her. and the mansion enjoys her company too, so alas. it was stuck dealing with her.
like i said, it took a lot of time and patience for slender to even view sally as something worth its time and attention. it took even longer for it to grow to care about her.
but sally is stubborn when she wants to be, and when she decided she wanted to befriend the strange, faceless, tall man well buddy pal there was nothing that could stop her. she had a goal in mind, and she was determined to achieve it.
and the mansion helped out, of course. because the mansion was, at this point, the only real 'companion' that slender had. she wanted it to make bonds with people it could actually communicate with.
and in the beginning, slender hated that everywhere it went when visiting the mansion, sally would be there with a bright smile on her face, eagerly asking questions about its existence and asking whether or not it wanted to join her for tea and even going as far as to introduce it to her toys one by one.
it was annoyed, at first. it would brush her off, maybe even vanish the moment it saw sally approaching.
honestly, slender wouldn't be able to tell you when it started to care for her. maybe it was the first time it saw her crying, or maybe she had worn it down so much that it just didn't have the energy to ignore and avoid her anymore. but at some point, it did grow to care for her.
it stopped vanishing whenever it saw her. it answered her questions when she asked it. it started to remember all the names and titles of her plushies. and one day, it had even hesitantly agreed to accompany her for tea. she was ecstatic at this, and thus the tea parties became a frequent whenever it was around.
sally is the only child that slender cares about. it tolerates ben and lazari, but every other child? no. it will more than likely never grow to care for one the way it cares for sally.
your e2l time travel married future-esque idea .... kneels ...... SCREAMSSSS ..... that's so delectable user baeshijima thank you for the food mhm mhmm mhmm will be thinking about it for the next few years <333 no but like your (annoying) husband sulks over the fact that you have been avoiding him for the past few hours or even days and he's like ??????????? what did i ever do to my amazing spouse ???? *proceeds to thoroughly contemplate over his past actions and internally slaps himself over it* and you on the other hand youre wondering how you got here 😭 like isnt it that you were partying your life out and getting drunk bcos you dont want to see that prickly bastard nd suddenly youre married to him ?!?!?!?! oughhhh you want to punch his annoyingly stunning face ... with your lips WHAT WHO SAID THAT your idea is so comedic and cute pleaseee i just imagine your husband trying to cuddle you for the past hours but it's just that youre avoiding him out of confusion mainly of your feelings 😭 thank you for the brainrot
NONNIEEE U SEE THE VISIION AARGRHGHAGHG
NO BC ???? imagine as you're distancing yourself from him while he quite literally contemplates his entire existence and forcibly sifts through his memories from the last week or so in search for what he did to warrant the fearsome cold shoulder™, he makes a dejected connection to the current you reminding him of how you were three years ago before you kiss kiss fell in love wedding bells woohoo'd. (which, of course, actually is the current you right now, but he doesn't know that.)
if it wasn't for the fact you are quite literally batting away his advances and acting as though he defiled you in some way, he would have coo'd at your cute behaviour he fell hook, line, and sinker for!
...and then there's you. lol. while he tries his damnedest to undo whatever it is he did, you're also having just as much — if not, even more — of an existential crisis as he is. mainly because:
???? what do you mean you're married to this fucker? what you mean you fell for him?? the one that made you get so hammered you time-travelled into a life where you're happy and... and married?!
were your standards that low — that limited — for him to be the only acceptable option???
aeons this is quite possibly the most soul-crushing news you have ever received. you swear to all that is mighty and divine and holy and omniscient above that you will save your future self's life by stopping whatever this... this is! and no, you will not be swayed by his suspiciously warm smile, and honeyed eyes, and sickeningly loving words, and his comforting scent, and his warm and surprisingly soft lips... oh fuck.
(alternate prose: you're severely indenial and your husband thinks it's cute and reminiscent to the old days lol. now please stop, he can't function without your cuddles and kisses...)
so many of you talk about the cruel adults in your childhood that negatively effected you and caused lifelong insecurity yet you're still perfectly fine with being that mean stranger to any kid that has the misfortune of existing around you and thats just really gross !!!
egg, i forgot why i followed you for a sec and i was like: "omg egg knows ranboo???" before remembering we're anons from a genloss au (aka ranboo's project)...
-💫 (feel free to ignore this btw)
No but this is so real.
I did this with @/booitsbeloved like ten minutes ago for likely the exact same post
Sometimes, I join a discord server for a thing, let's say Minecraft, and then ten minutes later I'll be like "Hey does anyone here play Minecraft" and then I explode because
Because I'm in a Minecraft server. Of course they like Minecraft.
