I’m currently writing a Bamon fic that basically reimagines TVD, starting with them starting college and with Bonnie as the protagonist. And like I have SO many headcanons I’m gonna incorporate. A lot of them comes from the show but just elevated.
1. Bonnie
My lovely, mistreated Bonnie… boy do I have ideas for you. First of all, she’s going to have some good ass hairstyles. BLACK GIRL hairstyles. I think Bonnie loves to wear curly ponytails with decorated scarves, or like some long knotless braids. AHHH I have some ideas for her hair. But speaking of style, Bonnie loves the bohemian aesthetic. So, air of half tops, waist beads, long skirts, etc (go on Pinterest and type “bohemian black girl, and you’d see what I’m talking about). She wears alot of brown, green, beige and like golden colors. She wears red when she’s feeling spicy. Bonnie is also into candles, HEAVILY, and crystals. She’s not religious but spiritual. And for college, she’s majoring in dance and minoring in occult studies. Her favorite genre of dance is contemporary. And her favorite breakfast is cereal, and she’s most likely a vegetarian. Also I wanna change her background a bit. She actually grew up being raised by her mother and her grandmother. Her father left because he couldn’t or wouldn’t handle with their witch ancestry, when he found out.
2. Damon
Damon’s bisexual. That’s it, that’s the quote. But no seriously, I firmly believe that he is, and I stand by that. And also in my fic, Damon has this kind of… “punk rocker” aesthetic going. Imagine eyeliner, leather jackets with pins, ripped jeans, black and red color pallete. With that being said, he has a SICK fashion sense. He paints his own fingernails, mainly the color black. Another big thing about Damon is that he LOVES music. He is a music fanatic. He adores all the genres and can see the beauty in all of them, and he collects records. He also loves to play various of instruments. He has mastered the piano, the guitar, the violin and the trumpet and other shit too, and he loves to sing but he never sings infront of people. He loves to cook. Whenever he’s frustrated or gets startled, he swears in Italian. And speaking of Italian, Damon and Stefan’s were born in like the late 1400s or the early 1500s in Florence, Italy. And their family portrait was actually painted by the famous painter, Caravaggio. Damon didn’t come to America till the 1920s as he began to admire the American people’s party era.
3. Elena
She actually stays pretty much the same. However, Elena really likes Britney Spears so a lot of her outfits are inspired by her. She wears alot of dark colors, but you will see her in a pink matching tracksuit and a baby blue cropped top. Elena kind of takes every moment to show her belly button. Oh, and she loves cropped jackets. Veryyyyy Y2K going on here. Elena is trynna become a doctor but she’s also minoring in writing.
4. Caroline
I gotta be honest, I have no notes for Caroline cause I think her character in the show was written perfectly enough to be memorable and entertaining. However I think her aesthetic could be boosted up a notch to rest for her image. Caroline wears a lot of bubbly colors. Very bright but also soft color palette, so imagine a lot of soft pinks, blues, whites. She loves to wear plaid skirts and cardigans and sweaters. She’s trying to be a lawyer, which I fully expect from her. Think of Elle Woods without the hot pink.
5. Stefan
Stefan is good ol’ Stefan (except in my head, the version that I like). He’s very athletic, he gives very much sensitive gym bro. And he’s actually kind of passionate about all sports, and watches them regularly. That being said, he also loves writing, specifically poetry. So therefore he’s majoring in writing. Stefan first came to America, following his brother in the 20s. They were trying to make up with each other, and as Damon was trying to teach him how to feed as a normal vampire, it caused Stefan to be the ripper of something something. Basically in the show but different timelines. Oh and Stefan wears the color red and blue a lot, kind of patriotic of him lmao.

Wednesday- Netflix Show Review (spoilers duh)
Alright, i watched the show. Did i like it? Eh!! Will i still participate in fandom? Yes!
Show rating: 3 stars??
Right off the bat you can tell the only good actor in this show is the main character. Jenna Ortega 100% did this role amazingly, and was my second favorite character (first being Thing ofc). Everyone elses acting ranged from mid to just straight up not good? Not to mention like jesus the cast either looks 12 or late 20s, is this highschool, middle school or college?? And dont get me started on the MAIN MALE LEADS ACTING??? Tyler played by Hunter Doohan, deadass sounds like a shitty anime dub protagonist. And by GOD did that get on my nerves. I will say either the acting is better or more tolerable by the end of the season but thats most likely due to the fact the screen time mainly shifts onto the main character Wednesday. Which im fine with.
I love Wednesday, i love her so much. She is so autistic coded, just like me for real. Jennas portrayal is amazing. Line delivery, body language, everything down to the tea for amazing it was.
The writing...... yeah the writing..... yeah no..... Its not great, it feels like they only focused on making Wednesdays lines good and give 0 shits about anyone else. Some moments are great i wont lie, but alot of the writing comes off as???? Eh??? And the actors definitely didnt help carry the writing. Maybe with a different cast, it wouldn't have been so hard to watch.
The show starts off with a very strong pallet of "how do you do, fellow kids?" and honestly has one of the worse hooks ive ever seen. Social media being shoved down are throats and a couple of ad placements throughout the first episode, i was expecting a full on "HEY BUY THE LATEST IPHONE, EAT SOME DORITOS AND SHOP AT OLD NAVY" type of ads like the Addison Rae movie. Like oooooooooooof, thankfully they tone that down, but its still very obvious in some scenes.
SPOILERS BELLOW
Shows like this always make me feel weird where they have "outcast" "normie" type stuff. And yeah it was.... ?????? Man idk lmao. This show did alot of stereotypes and ???? stuff?? throughout it, that was honestly very weird? Like for example Enid isnt able to transform into a werewolf, and her mom wants to send her to.... wait for it.... CONVERSION THERAPY??? Are we serious??? And its like this long awkward scene that felt like a coming out scene of her turning down conversion therapy, and her mom storming out and her dad saying how proud he is and he will always support her....... like deadasss???? AND THEN!!! SHE ENDS UP "WOLFING OUT" AT THE END ANYWAYS????? So like are you serious??? They dealt with it like it was a coming out thing and it was a puberty thing and alsoa disability, so that was icky!!!
A HUGE ICK IS IN THE ENDING???? We find out what a hyde is and all of a sudden Wednesday finds out that Tylers mom, oh my god, was a HYDE!!! So she confronts him and let me just quote this scene for yall"
Wednesday: "Her postpartum depression triggered her condition"
Tyler: "My mom has severe bipolar disorder."
Wednesday: "We both now thats a lie..... She was a Hyde"
LIKE DID WE REALLY???? DID WE REALY JUST COMPARE A SEVERE MOOD DISORDER TO A CREATURE???? IN THE SHOW A HYDE IS DESCRIBED AND "UNLEASHED" By this: "artists by nature, but equally vindictive in temperament.” He wrote: “Born of mutation, the Hyde lays dormant until unleashed by a traumatic event or unlocked through chemical inducement or hypnosis."
Like???? what we arent going to do is compare an already severely stigmatized disorder to a literal monster. That is so fucked up??? On so many levels????
There were a couple good moments in the show, and i did really like watching the friendship between Enid and Wednesday blossom. Any scene with Thing was good and also the scenes with Eugene were pretty adorable. I do enjoy the way she does investigate and the mystery aspect is semi solid. Her visions are also portrayed very well and i like them. The fight scenes i would say are pretty well choreographed.
Wednesday has alot of autistic / neurodivergent traits, along with alot of the other characters and that is very fun to watch. Because omg me? Very relatable! Does put the whole "outcast" "normie" thing in a weird perspective tho huh?
Anways would i watch it again? No
Will i watch the second season? Yeah probably!!
Do I recommend it? EH??? If you can get through the first two episode and look past the cringey/ unbearable acting, then yeah go ahead. Its only 8 episodes, i finished it in a day, so if you just want the show in the background or youre bored sure. Again there are some captivating scenes but honestly none that are very hooking to me.
Anyways thats my review !!!

Charlotte looked so pretty in the badass way! ❤ idk why but tbh she gives strong woman vibe here imho. I really like the way you draw her hairstyle, ruby-like red eyes with long eyelashes, her oufit & the red hood, also her pose is so good! And yooo your artstyle has improved more it becomes neater than before, with minimal messy lines (makes the drawing looks cleaner), and you always choose soothing colour pallete for the colouring it's actually very pleasing to gaze at 👍💯 Really glad to see Charlotte's reappearance, she surely deserved more appreciation! Thanks alot for drawing her again 💖💝💐
Thank you!! I’m so happy to hear that you think my art has improved. :’)
She def deserves more of my love she’s always been one of my favorites.

Discworld: Feet of Clay
This was a REALLY interesting book. Like, it didn’t even really seem to be ABOUT the plot and Main Action?
Or, well, maybe it would be better to say that the main action, all along, was the Golems, and Pratchett kinda throws you for a loop by slowburning that plotline while distracting you with the Vetinari poisoning one(which is Clever, since the major point of the poisoning plot like is missing the Real cause or point of something because it’s too obvious and simple to see, so it kinda ties the whole golem thing into the poisoning thing’s themes in a way), but that’s not really what I mean either? What I mean is that this story kinda felt, to me, like it was about people’s flaws; examining them, showing other people react to them, showing how them impacted the lives of that person and those around them and the city, ect. Or at least, that this was a common theme in many of the subplots which the book seemed to be more interested in than the action. To me, at least.
Which, of course, touches on the Puns in this title. Pun Count:
It’s about Golems, which are made of clay, so physically about “Feet of Clay”.
It’s about the aspirations, and conditions, and flaws of golems(the misunderstanding about Words, what they did with their Childking), so about, among other things, their metaphorical “Feet of Clay”.
There’s a lot of running in it, and sedan-chair-hauling, and otherwise pedestrian movement.
It’s about Angua struggling with her feelings for Carrot, her flaws, and his flaws(as she sees them, since some of the biggest ones are what most people consider virtues)
The questionable origins, and even more questionable habits, of Nobby Nobbs(I LOVE that this is his actual name, I figured Nobby was a nick, his name is literally “Richie Rich” XD XD XD).
How the ambition, arrogance, and pride(flaws) of A-M’s nobility and Burghers, exemplified by Dragon King of Arms, lead them to make fools of themselves courting Nobby Nobbs.
Sargent Colon, his flaws, his perennially backfiring attempts to outsmart others, and the unfortunate fate of his fantasy of “returning”(he was born and raised in the city) to a simpler, more honest life closer to The Land.
The strain that Vimes’ flaws(workaholism, for one) put him, his marriage, and his underlings under. Also: the impact of his origins(his “common clay” heritage) on Vimes’ life and sense of morality(we also see a bit of this with Angua, and I suppose with Carrot, given his Dwarvish reactions to Cheri). Also-Also: his reflexive egalitarian sympathy and support for The Little Guy, or just anyone or any action that  pisses lots of people off. Particularly if they’re rich people.
Vetinari’s flaws(workaholism, for one) and how they’re exploited, for a time, to get him out of the way.
This might be a stretch, but a central device(heh heh heh >:3) of the story is Coats of Arms(otherwise, “Arms of Nobility”), their condition in A-M, and how newly rich common-born folks(again, the “common clay”) covet them for the status they convey. Just to make that explicit, the story deals, in part, with the tension between Arms of Nobility and Feet(origins) of Clay.
An exploration of the exploitation at the foundation of A-M’s bustling, world-class economy; its quite actual “Feet of Clay”, given the role of Golems and treadmills in it.
The theft of a few pallets of clay, in otherwords a few “feet of clay”, is of central importance to figuring out the mystery.
It deals with parenting! It deals with how many parents will try to put all their hopes and dreams on a child and, in doing so, really only heap them over with their flaws!! And at the sametime it does that, it also attacks the idea of kingship and the need people feel for hierarchy by showing that literally drive the person it is invested in insane, because this is Pratchett, the implacable anti-royalist, poster-author for “Power Corrupts” anti-authoritarianism, and so Of Course it does.
You get the idea: flaws play a big role in the plot, and the book takes alot of time to discuss them in most of the characters. So it’s not really as complicated as Men at Arms -there’s only two major puns there “Feet of Clay” for Golems with clay feet and the “Feet of Clay”(flaws) of people- but the second one is explored pretty thoroughly without ever going “wow hey look at how deep we’re going to be this is a book about how people aren’t perfect and how that imperfection shapes their lives and everything else”, or ever really abandoning its sense of humor.
I thought we got some interesting looks at Vetinari here, who we really haven’t spent much time with up until now. From Guards! we know that he is knowledgeable enough about swords to be able to snap one in half, apparently open-handed, instantaneously when wielded against him by someone who doesn’t really know how to use them, and in Feet of Clay we learn that he studied with the Assassins’ Guild at somepoint(though it’s unclear if he picked up the trick from them; Men at Arms makes it clear they don’t emphasize unarmed techniques). We learn Vetinari knows about poisons and has studied the strategies of poisoning, but again we can’t say he learned this from the AG since, while they DO study poisons, they frown on them as not being up-close and personal enough for their rank(since most Assassins are A-M aristos). We learn that, even when he’s been poisoned with arsenic which isn’t pleasant, he insists on working into the night., which is to say we’ve learned Vetinari has a real problem admitting his own weakness, or hurts, or pains, and that he doesn’t usually trust that other people will be competent(or particularly trustworthy, but we knew that). We know he’s writing a book called The Rites of Man, which seems an odd sort of thing for an autocrat with no particular interest in religion(beyond the practical given trigger-happy gods, I am sure) to be writing. We know that he feels he has “created” Vimes in someway, and that he feels a certain tolerant affection for him that sometimes leads to quixotic behavior on his part. We learned that he likes to see Vimes in action, even when he already knows how to solve a problem Vimes is working on, and that he’s willing to prolong crises, when it suits his objectives as well, just for the pleasure of seeing Vimes being Vimes. And I kind of, actually, wonder if this creates a sort of feeling of kinship between him and Carrot, given that Carrot finds Vimes as inspirational and most folks seem to find him.
Hmmm.... what else.... Dorfl’s Robocop quote near the end had me entirely metaphorically yelling I was so pleased. I thought the ending, and how Pratchett kept Angua in A-M was really sweet.
OH! How could my brain edit out Cheri like that on me for this whole essay >:( Treasonous I tells ya >:[ >:[ I don’t really know if Cheri’s storyline fits into the whole “Feet of Clay” puntheme necessarily. I mean, you could make a clay=transformation argument but I’d rather not |:T In regards to that particular bit of the story I’d say she was more of a foil: that Carrot’s reactions to her elucidated his flaws, but that this didn’t really have anything to do with her other than incidentally. There IS a certain obvious irony in her viewing A-M as a place she could get away to to be herself openly and freely, while heaping prejudiced insults on Angua(who came to the city to be herself in a different way, by suppressing a part of herself she disliked) for most of the book. Cheri’s not spared from being shown as flawed and having those flaws influence her path through the book of course: there’s her anti-were feelings and how that impacts her relationship with Angua. But there’s also how she came to The Watch in the first place; by not having traditional Dwarf interests, and by blowing up the senior leadership of the Alchemists’ Guild. And her biggest breakthrough, the arsenic grease, is something she thinks, at first, is a mistake, which was kind of a cool way to run with the whole “flaw” thing(particularly with her), by showing that, sometimes what we’ve been taught to see as a flaw or “wrong” is really the key to our success :) Also the bit of worldbuilding here, that plenty of Dwarves don’t really find out about the anatomy of their partners until rather late into courtship, and are often happy with whatever they find, meaning that, despite Carrot’s spot-consideration on the topic that terms like “mother” and “father” probably have more to do with social or familial roles than gendered anatomy, was pretty Neat, as was that there are Dwarves who FEEL “feminine”, and want to live as such, with certain Dwarven adjustments :p
Hmm Ok, I think that’s it, though I finished this book ~ 3 days ago so I’m prob forgetting some stuff that I wanted to write about |:T |:T

If you are taking requests, could you possibly write what happens after the movie like your prequel: Light Blue Sky, Bright Pink Flower. It could be a smut to show how much closer they have gotten after their adventure together and after confessing they love each other. Please and thank you.
Here you are my dear anon! :) I hope you’ll like this little fic (Fluff/Smut/Surprise at the end). 
When I read “It could be a smut.” my mind just elaborated “Do a Smut in that fic!”, so here you go. OwO Enjoy a little piece of my madness.
Tumblr media
Thatwarm and bright evening was completely silent, just like the tiredbut satisfied Trolls, asleep in their colorful pods and under softand fluffy blankets made of leaves and hair. Man, what a long daythey had: after their return to the Troll Tree, that was right in themiddle of the new and finally happy Bergen Town, the little singingand dancing creatures had a lot of work to do: building and makingnew pods, fixing the Tree’s broken roots and branches, secure thewild area, pulling weeds, moving things and supplies from their oldhome… yeah, that was exhausting and boring, but necessary.
AndPoppy, the happiest, the most loved and the most positive of all ofthe Rainbow Trolls, was now the new and beloved Queen, so she had alot of responsabilities and duties to perform. Of course, her fatherhelped her with his long experience and wisdom, but still… The girlwas in fact still awake, with big dark circles around her magentaeyes, and was talking to herself, resuming the day’s activitiesquickly and with attention: “Ok, so… It’s been a week, alooooooong week, and I must say we fixed and did a lot ofwork, that’s very good. The roots are ready, green and healty, as thecrown of the Tree, full of leaves and flowers. But we need more podsbecause the population is increasing and the kids are growing, soonthey will need their own little homes! Also, the Tree’s bark is fartoo friable and full of dangerous splinters, and we must create azone for-…”.
“Woah,talking to yourself, Pops? Work and organization sucks, right? Youlook dead tired right now!” a familiar and gentle male voice calledher from not so far, with an ironic but worried tone and crossed,strong blue-green arms. “You’re tiring yourself too much, youshould go to sleep. You are working so hard these days, and for thefirst time of your life! No parties, no jumping in the fields, nosmelling flowers or hugging randomly… you must be lost right now,am I right…”.
“Oh!Branch, it’s just you. Are you still up too, uh?” the royal femalelaughed sincerely and greeted her new and now happy boyfriend,standing up, quickly approaching him and resting her heavy andthrobbing head on his right and strong shoulder, sighing and huffingout her great frustration. “You are right. I know I should get somerest, you’re totally right, but everyone’s counting on me and I don’twanna let them down. Remember, we are in a big, big hurry. The coldseason is coming, you know that, we can’t risk our subjects’ lifelike this. We’ll freeze!”.
“Iknow that indeed, that’s the worst time of the damn year and it’shard to survive without enough supplies, but our work’s half done andthe cold season will come the next month. We’ll be ready in a week ortwo, I promise.” Branch hugged her tightly, trying to comfort andcalm her, caressing her slim and elegant back. “And I’ll be thereto help you if you’ll need me, always. What you’re doing right now,tormenting youself and worrying too much, won’t help at all. Come on,let’s head inside, there are plenty of warm blankets and pillows, agood rest and everything’ll seem alright.”.
“Iguess you’re right as always, you smart, ex-survivalist. Your help isinvaluable, without your guide and precious advices I don’t know whatI would do.” Poppy nuzzled his neck and kissed his left andslightly glittery cheek, closing her bright eyes and smelling him,finally peaceful and quiet in his arms. “You’ll make a great Kingone day, you care so much about me and our people, and everybodyloves and respects you.” she added with a bold smirk, giggling andpunching his back. “King Branch, sounds pretty good right? The badthing is that you’ll have to wear a beautiful flower crown, eheh! I’maware you hate them, I’m so sorry.”.
Thecolorful survivalist gulped and blushed visibly, rubbing his nape andlooking away, embarassed and shy as always. “D-do you really thinkso? I’ll be good enough for the Trolls? For you? Do you really wantme, will you really choose the dull, always prepared andstrange me? I… just don’t know if I deserve that…”.
“No,you won’t be good enough, Branch.” the pink girl slowly shook herhead, looking strangely strict, serious and severe, looking at himinto his light blue eyes, now full of surprise and esitation. “You’llbe perfect for us all. I chose you, and maybe that was thebest decision of my whole life. And I’d choose you, always.” shesmiled widely then, amused by his unsure reactions, grabbing hisstrong but pudgy waist and, on her tiptoes, she pressed her perfumedlips on his, in a kind but passionate and needed kiss.
Branchgroaned and smiled during that welcomed act of affection, his heartfull of joy and pride hearing those beautiful words, and used hisfree and big hands to grab her fluffy hair and gently pull it,knowing how much she would like it. As planned, he heard a tiny butexcited squeal and felt her body against his, hot and tempting.
Whenthey pulled away, Poppy grinned and licked her wet and now flushedmouth, fixing a lock of hair and putting it behind her round ear. “Isee what you did there, are you trying to make me relax in thatway? What a naughty and smug Troll you are, Branch.” the Queenasked, lifting an eyebrow and snickering, a hand on her hip. “But Iam too, so… will you join me in my bedroom?”.
Itwas not like they’ve never done it before or that it was their firsttime: in fact, during those short and maybe too fast weeks, theyfound themselves inseparable and deeply connected, in any existingform. Even in that form. But it was still a strange feelingfor Branch, being inside his girlfriend’s form and whispering lovingphrases, sweet nothings and poetries in her rounded ears.
“Youok, Branch?” Poppy panted with a little and kind smile on her face,her many freckles shone in the darkness as she looked into his lightblue eyes, beneath his muscular but chubby body. Her slim hipsbounced up and down slowly, meeting Branch’s unhurried thrusts. “Youseem a little… uh, restrained? Like you want to say something.”.
“No,no. It’s alright up here. Are you ok down there?” the survivalistsmiled back and laughed, kissing her forehead for a moment andcontinuing his movements, then the male got closer to her right earand huffing: “But maybe you’re right, I would like to saysomething. It’s just… I cannot find the words to describe myfeelings right now, and… damn, I can’t find the words to tell youhow much you mean to me. Maybe I am a poet, well… sort of, butsometimes, especially when I’m around you, I can’t find the right wayto tell you how I feel.”.
“Thenshow me. If you can’t find the right words, then use yourself becauseyou, just you are more than enough for me.” the Queen hugged him,nuzzling against his chest, deeply touched by his sincere words.
Thepink Troll felt her partner speeding up after a few moments ofreflection and esitation, and his royal blue-purple hair twirlingaround hers in a passionate and affectionate dance they shared a lotof times, together and connected, in that fluffy and comfortable bed.“Mhh-!” she moaned, spreading her long legs a bit more, grabbinghim by the waist, and moving her pelvis along with the survivalist’s.
Branchlicked his rather sharp teeth, drooling a little and panting a lot,still not very used to those act of intimate affection, then hegently bit the female’s breasts, sucking them and using his tongue tolap her excited and red nipples, enjoying her wails and whines ofpleasure.
SuddenlyPoppy used her great strength and agility to lift her smaller bodyup, helping herself with her behind’s muscles, sitting on the blueTroll’s lap and smirking, happy to finally be on top. Sheloved it, when she could move and watch her boyfriend’s desperateexpressions, closely. With a loud but muffled scream, she started toride her companion’s rod with speed, while kissing him on the lipsand rubbing his belly and nape with her free arms.
“Ugh!”Branch groaned loudly, his eyes barely open and his tongue out,sitting on the pallet and enjoying the show his girlfriend wasputting up. He felt a warmth in his groin area and his manhoodswelling inside her damp and dripping slit. “She really loves tobe on top, uh…”.
“Someone’sapproaching his peak, Branchie? Awh!” the smug and self-confidentQueen joked while huffing, rubbing his cheek and pressing herforehead against his sweaty one for a second. “It’s ok, I-I’mreaching it too… j-just let it out… will you?”, Poppy knew howto make him come anyway, in fact she knew a really, really sweet spotof his: smiling and smirking, she opened her mouth again and bitgently his pointy and moving ear with her rounded teeth.
“P-Poppy!”he shouted with a not-so-manly and very surprised tone, his handsgrabbing her slim hips on instinct and his organ emptying itselfinside the Queen’s welcoming and warm canal, filling her up with hiswhite and fertile sexual liquid, that poured out slowly, on the dirtyand now messy sheets. “Mpgh…”.
“Branch!”Poppy shivered in pleasure right after him, clenching her muscularinner walls around her partner’s dick and riding out her own orgasm,while electric waves clawled up and down her arching back. “Ahh…”she concluded after a long minute, falling back on the mattress alongwith the survivalist, both of them dead tired, panting visibly andsweaty. But satisfied. Really satisfied. “I admit it… that…relaxed me quite alot.”.
“T-Toldyou… And guess what, that even helped me, you know… gathering abit of courage to tell you something.” the survivalist laughedweakly, kissing her lips for the last time and suddenly sitting onthe bed, grabbing his green gilet and searching for something in itspockets. When he found and took it, he turned towards hisgirlfriends, hands behind his naked back and an embarassed smile onhis chubby face. “Poppy, we’ve known each other for so long, 20years, and I never found the bravery or guts to talk to you, never.But believe me when I say that I loved you so, so much. I loved youwith all my heart and soul, but I was a coward and I was scared.Scared to lose you, like I lost my grandma. Only during our journeyand especially in that pot, when you lost your hope, happiness andcolors, I found myself finally capable to show my real feelings andto tell you I loved you. I couldn’t let you go, I couldn’t see youall grey and sad like I was. And gosh, when you told me you loved meback… I just couldn’t believe it: you, the most perfect and…well, rather annoying dork, my love interest, my beloved party-lovingand funny Princess, loved me! You didn’t give up on me, that’s why Ifell in love with you long, long ago; with your smile you were ableto bright my days and fantasies, especially when I wrote poetriesabout you. You are my bigger inspiration and an essential part of mynew, colorful and beautiful life. And even if maybe’s too early…I’d like to make it official.”.
“…B-Branch? What do you mean, what are you trying to say?” Poppyasked, a little insecure and excited, with her big, enrapturedmagenta eyes, looking at the little and opened black box with agolden and shiny ring inside, right in front of her.
“Poppy,will you marry me?”.

sorry to bug ya, im sure you get this a lot, but i love the way you design characters alot?? esp your splatoon stuff. i was scrolling through your blog and i was so happy to see some actual anthro fishes, and not just, like, human versions with sea creature hair?? all your art is really inspiring and its really just a joy to look at. anyways, i was wondering if you have any tips for character design? i hope you have a great week, keep up the great work!!
Oof I’ll admit I’m not all that great with words, so I’ll keep this short and to the point. For me, I try to keep my designs fairly simple. This mostly means using a limited colour pallete of no more than around 3 colours (4 is pushing it). Usually I’ll use two colours that are very similar, and then a colour that compliments them. So for example in this picture
Tumblr media
my primary colour palette was dark browns, with just a hint of yellow peeking though. Teal is the complimentary colour here, and in my opinion, complimentaries should be used sparingly, like to colour the eyes or nails. Small spaces that are evenly distributed across the character’s silhouette. You can use use them in larger spaces, or even push the limit of your colour palette to something as large as five different colours, but I would stick with 3 for the most part. It’s basic colour theory and research into it is quick and easily accessible so I wont go too much into it.
The other thing I like to do is, if I’m designing a character based on something else, like a creature, for example, I try to sneak in as many visual references as I can. For example
Tumblr media Tumblr media
 with my character Athena, the spider crab, I wanted to incorporate the shape of the crab’s carapace into her final design. The easiest way for me to do that was to translate the shape into her hair, so that from the back, she would look almost identical to the real life thing. It’s a pretty easy and straightforward design choice, but it works well, and I think it’s a good example to use therefore.
Basically, try and keep it simple. Characters don’t need to be cluttered and have retina burning saturated colours to look good and be memorable. Some of the most iconic characters to date, like Mickey Mouse, Sonic, Mario and Bugs Bunny have super simple colour palettes, and easily readable designs and silhouettes. And yet they’re recognized all over the world.
