Okay Okay Okay—More Samder Slides headcanons time..You’ve opened Pandora’s Box…
Personal headcanons/design things:
Keeps food in his pockets and then forgets it’s there. The way I know the amount of crumbs are insane.
Re-attached his logo with haphazard stitching so it matched Virgil’s :]
Always loses one sock in each pair. ALWAYS.
Has THE most insane takes. Leads to a lot of fun Patton and Logan discussions actually (*Hits them with the Trolley problem*: DISCUSS)
Patton would take the Utilitarian approach I think…Would think you should always sacrifice the one person in the trolley problem instead of the five because it minimizes the most suffering).
To that point, I really do think all the sides would enjoy watching The Good Place. Probably also The Magic School Bus.
All film media in Patton’s room is on VHS. Even if it came out recently. He made them that way.
I know we’ve literally seen his room in canon but in my heart it looks like Howl’s Room in Howl’s Moving Castle (insane levels of eclectic).
Has set the kitchen on fire 237856 times. It will happen again.
Has hand-made bracelets (themed each of them around one of the other sides).
Also has a hand-made doll collection…Roman’s doll is kind of like a traditional princely doll, Logan is probably a cube craft doll, Virgil’s is Coraline style (later redoes it with Remus’ help to add Virgil’s extra legs and mandibles (they’re articulated. He’s very proud)). Remus is a finger puppet and Janus is a sock puppet (those last two might change later)…
To that point: he still has a spider phobia, but he’s working on it (mostly for Virgil. A lot of it is him being like “could you please describe “x” to me, or draw me a picture before you revert so I know what to expect? :).” It’s going well.
One time they tried theorizing what kind of spider Virgil was. Patton immediately threw in Jumping Spider (he’s not) but Logan was happy to hear Patton had done some kind of research into something.
He’s Roman’s test audience/proofreader. He may be a Yes Man, but he’s good at spotting when character motives are unclear in a story/just generally to bounce ideas around with. They have days where they parallel play. Patton does his arts and crafts and Roman does his writing. At the end of it, they swap and critique.
Me throwing my takes at you (thank you for coming to my TED Talk):

Howl Jenkins Pendragon
Tumblr media
After a long time of inactivity and lurking, I have made An Art! It’s my interpretation of Wizard Howl from Howl’s Moving Castle, based mostly on the books with some inspiration taken from the Ghibli adaptation (I love both dearly). Here he is wearing his infamous blue-and-silver suit! I really love how this piece turned out, as I’ve tried a new line art style which is more sketchy and, I think, more vibrant and defined than what I normally do, although it was slightly difficult to merge the sketchy cartoonish line art with my detailed blending style. I also love the pose and color palette I chose.
anyways I’m done rambling, I hope you like it!

Hello!! I'm in love with your artstyle (especially the way you did the signature spells??? I've been looking at them for a while adsgfdfsf, they look like movie posters tbh and that's fricking cool to me. anyway!! I'm a player on the NA server (btw, I've already seen spoilers of chap 7 due to tumblr/reddit/pinterest, so yeah it's not the most spoiled I've ever been so yea) and yeah. I'm getting through the story okay but do you have any advice for people trying to get through certain events with a more limited life schedule??? Also, what are some of the differences that you notice between the english (if you see a lot of it??) and Japanese versions of the game? sorry if this was a longer ask, i tried to be simple but i wanted to tell you that I loved your art and everything just spiraled AAAAAAH
thank you! ❤️❤️❤️ I've been surprised by how many people really like my posters -- it's kind of a weird style to do fanart in, I guess, but I'm glad other people think it's cool too! :D
(gonna answer out of order because the event stuff turned into a huge block of text, sorry!)
I've seen a few of the localizations, but I don't know a lot about the Eng version, so I can't speak too much about differences. (I do think "housewarden" has a better sound to it than "dorm leader" though...they need a fancy little word to match their fancy little outfits.) I did look up the unique magic/signature spells to see if they were able to somehow work in the glossing -- I'm not even sure how you would localize that without it being super weird, so I don't blame them, but I was a little sad anyway! :( in Japanese, they're all written as Japanese phrases with the English as ruby text, and sometimes they're given a little extra meaning. like -- this is where the episode 7 spoilers I'm tagging are) the words that Mal says are "Fae of Maleficence":
Tumblr media
but the meaning of the Japanese is "Blessing", which is a nice little "ooooh" moment given the context of it!
there isn't always an extra meaning, sometimes it's just. super literal. but my other favorite is Jack's, where what he means is "✨howl that pierces the moonlit night✨", but what he actually yells is "UNLEASH BEAST" before turning into a giant dog. what a good boy.
as for event advice (under the cut, because this was already getting long)...
speaking as someone who is 100% F2P and therefore also tends to get kind of burnt by some of these events -- the #1 most important thing is to just...make peace with not getting everyone. :') I am a collector-type person, so it definitely gets grating when I can't have all the fancy PNGs my little packrat heart desires. generally though: never do random pulls, always be saving your keys and gems between events. (once a month you can buy a 10-set from Sam for a 50 gem discount, and logging in on a character's birthday will give you a 10-set for free, so make sure to do those!). when the event info starts coming out, pick one or two cards that you really want and work specifically towards those, focusing on grinding out the items and/or using your saved-up pulls on their specific banner. and in the end, accept that it might just not be meant to be, even if you hit the 100-pull pity SSR no I'm not still bitter over fairy gala Ortho why do you ask. if the event doesn't have any cards that you really want, take it as an opportunity to save for the next one!
hoard your star fragments (the things that restore AP) -- if you're going for a card that requires grinding event items to permanently unlock, and the item is one you get from lessons, you can use star fragments to bump your AP up to 30 at a time (10 is the limit that will restore over time, but 30 is the max you can have at once). that makes for a looong lesson loop, but I usually get about 50-60 items per 30 lessons, and I just let it run in the background while doing other stuff. (usually these items are what also unlock the event story, so I'll do a huge amount of lessons first thing and then have enough to get the whole story at once. 👍) it can get really grindy, but events go on for a while so it's not usually that bad if you space it out a bit, instead of waiting until the last minute to try and get those last 600 items (cough) (cough).
if it's one of the ones where you get the item from doing a rhythmic, you get the same amount of items no matter how well you do, even if you miss every note. so you can just...tap occasionally to restart it and get the same effect. if it's a battle one, you do have to actually win to get the item, but once you figure out the sweet spot of a team setup + highest battle level where you win every time, it becomes basically the same deal.
so...yeah, tl;dr you can get away with a lot just by setting things up to run in the background and paying just enough attention to tap through some of the menus. it does require a certain amount of time to just leave your phone while still sorta-kinda paying attention to it, so it might not work for everyone, but that's the best way I've found to get through most events!

Busting down your door to ask about suck club Primo (and his cottage) 💙
Well, my dear Oakie, what would you like to know about Primo and his pretty cottage?
Have way, way, way, too much information:
(Full disclosure, I’ve had the flu all week so my brain is a little…wobble wobble…) here we go!
Primo had the cottage built around the turn of the century, roughly around 1901. This was around the same time that Terzo and Secondo were having Meliora House built. It’s just what gentlemen were supposed to do at the time..
The house itself is heavily influenced by Art Nouveau and Tudor revival style with a dash of Victorian (arsenic green never bothered him too much xD). Lots of woodwork, stained glass, and organic shapes, with sweeping roof lines and natural stone covered in 100 years worth of vines.
There was additional construction on the house through the 1920s and the conservatory was added even later.
As a gift, Secondo tried to have the kitchen remodeled within the last 10 or so years. Primo kept as much of the original kitchen as he could, and replaced what he had to with the most high end reproductions he could find (both done intentionally to irritate Secondo).
The house is full of things. Not in a compulsive collector/hoarding type way, the man’s just lived (mostly) in one house for the last 100 years. Are you picturing Howl’s bedroom? Yeah, kinda like that. He’s not keeping anything he doesn’t particularly need or like, but he’s not living Secondo’s minimalist dream either. In the late 70’s /early 80’s he posed as an antique dealer for a little while, but ultimately found he didn’t care much for the selling part. He can still be reached by the right collectors about the right things.
Primo tends to be associated with red and this is very much reflected in Vampire Primo’s wardrobe, but the interior of his cottage has a lot of earthy greens.
The guy loves to garden, however he did have a falling out with the hobby for a few decades. After Terzo and Secondo invited him to design the gardens at Meliora House, he became passionate about it again and returned to the cottage to turn it into his own little utopia.
Terzo has his “own room” in the cottage. The events of The Prince are not the first time he’s had to hide out there for a while (probably won’t be the last).
Did i make a moodboard about it? Yep.
Tumblr media
As far as Suck Club goes, the plan (so far) is for Vampire Primo’s story to offer a little more history about the brothers and how they came to be. I’m hesitant to say too too much because I’m still writing (or trying to) the end of The Prince (Oakie knows this, but just in case anyone else reads this..) so things keep shifting and changing. But the intention is to pack that story so full of lore (and romance. It’s Suck Club!)

Breaking down the comics: Let's get that BREAD (WBN #32-33)
MOON KNIGHT
WEREWOLF BY NIGHT Issue #32: 'The Stalker Called Moon Knight' 
Written by: Doug Moench
Art by: Don Perlin
Published 1975
Tumblr media
Are you ready for this? You better be. 
Werewolf by Night was started as a "Marvel Spotlight" in 1972. 
Or did it? 
In 1953, before Marvel was well...MARVEL... It was Atlas Comics. A five page short called "Werewolf by Night" came out. Later, when Marvel formed and comics had a "Comics Code Authority", they approved the use of werewolves and we got our boy Jack Russell. 
Want to know something hilarious? 
The original creators, Roy Thomas, Jeanie Thomas, Gerry Conway, and Mike Ploog had no idea that Jack Russell was also the name of a popular dog breed. Or if they did, they didn't think about it at the time of naming the main character. Readers started pointing it out and they all went, “Huh. So it is.” 
Wanna know something else amazing? 
Greer Grant Nelson, AKA: TIGRA, also got her start in Werewolf by Night in 1974, issue #1 of "Giant-Size Creatures" (later renamed Giant-Size Werewolf)
In the 1980s, Jack Russell didn't really make much of an appearance anymore until Moon Knight #29. 
Our Beloved Doug Moench picked up Werewolf by Night with issue # 20-43 in 1974-1977. 
Moon Knight got started officially in 1980. 
He couldn't get the character out of his head after WBN and neither could the fans. 
So let’s take a look at the birth of Moon Knight and see if we can’t find out why he went from one time villain to full time hero (and full time occupant to my heart). 
One thing to note about Werewolf by Night, we get a lot of narration from Jack Russell himself. And sometimes it's as Jack, and sometimes it's Jack looking at the wolf and others it's the wolf peaking through Jack. 
But us Moon Knight fans are used to different perspectives, aren't we? 
We open on the title page: 
"The tag's Russell, with a Jack in front of it. The kind of name that fits a normal 19 year old dude living out in L.A.--Not the kind of name you'd expect to find slapped on a guy who sprouted fangs, pore-to-pore fur, and wolfish howls every time the moon ballooned full. Unless that guy happened to have a father who was cursed by an arcane book called DARKHOLD --And who inherited his father's curse on his 18th birthday. 
Tough, I usually ain't. But when the Full Moon pokes its ugly puss into my life, I turn into the werewolf--and nobody messes with a dude dressed in fur, claws, and pure MEAN. So why didn't somebody tell that to--
THE STALKER CALLED MOON KNIGHT" 
LOL Yeah. He’s a stubborn idiot alright. 
Tumblr media
"Fast, Brutal, and Armed with everything to produce a scream, he was wasting me with no doubt about it. And every time I tried to slash back at the weirdo--My hand exploded in a fire labeled agony." 
Second night of the full moon cycle. The wolf is not doing so hot. 
His hand is broken and he's facing down this angry guy dressed in silver. 
"Get up, you mangy freak!! Get up so I can knock you back down again!" 
He lunches at the masked man only to take a punch to the face. 
"It was called a cestus--as in Glove. Worn by gladiators in the arena. A cestus is spiked. These spikes were silver. Silver is hell on a werewolf." 
He wrestles with Moon Knight who doesn't let up, kicking and punching. 
The whole time Moon Knight yells at him. 
Bystanders watch in awe. 
"Man! That guy's like a tornado on a rampage!" 
"I'm hip--but what's that other dude like--Lon Chaney in a mink--?!" 
LOL oh 1970s...never change. 
Moon Knight addresses the wolf. 
"You've had it, Freak. You're half-way gone and I haven't even started!" 
Moon Knight unleashes his razor blade silver scresent darts on the wolf. 
"It wasn't right. The Moon was supposed to give him strength--fill him with savagery--Not stab him with glaring pain..." 
"Drop Freak! Drop like the wounded beast you are!" 
Moon Knight kicks him, with his Savate Kick, which is a French Boxing style that combines Boxing with kicking. It predates Kickboxing by 100 years and is quite brutal. 
It sends the wolf sprawling. Especially from his silver tipped toe. 
They pause and we get a flash back to the night before. 
"It had started the night before, when an innocent ski-jaunt in northern California had erupted into a blizzard of horror. As the werewolf, I'd almost murdered a cute 7-year-old girl named Buttons... Fortunately, my best friend, Buck Cowan, had other ideas..."
Tumblr media
(If you're cold, he’s cold. Bring him inside)
"So I shivered into them and prepared to wait for Buck. You see, I didn't remember the werewolf's little Blood Tussle with Buck--and since Buck was supposed to pick me up here..." 
We see Buck being taken into emergency services and rushed in for immediate surgery. 
"After an hour of waiting, I'd begun to worry... Where was Buck?" 
We see Buck shredded and crashing on the table. 
Jack hitches a ride into down, wondering if his friend is alright. 
We see Buck crash in surgery and they frantically try to get his heart back. 
Jack makes it back to his Stepfather's house. 
"Jack! Are you all right, son?" 
"Sure, Dad. As all right as I ever am the morning after a Full Moon. Why? And where's Lissa?" 
We see the doctors are finished. There is nothing more they can do for Buck. 
"You mean you--You don't remember, son?" 
"Remember what? What?!" 
"Lissa's down at Westwood Hospital, Jack. Topaz called--Said your friend Buck was hurt... Was mauled... He...He might not pull through, Jack." 
Narration: The soft words slammed me, hit me like a thousand crushing mountains--But my only raction was numbness--Disbelief--
"Easy, Jack... Just take it easy, son." 
"Easy? I might've killed my best friend and you want me to take it easy?!" 
Jack is understandably upset.He runs to the hospital. 
Buck is in a coma and "The doctors aren't sure he'll come out of it."  
Tumblr media
(Who names their kid Buttons?) 
They tell the group to go home and get some rest. But they decide not to go with Jack. 
"Under the circumstances, we thought it might be best if Lissa stayed with me tonight--at my room-- To keep our minds off Buck--ANd also because well..." 
"Go on, Topaz, say it--Because I've got the Moon-Cooties and you don't want to be around when I sprout fangs again. Well, I don't blame you. I'd stay away from me if I could..." 
Narration: And that was my exit--as petulant as a cry-baby feeling sorry for its own tears... 
Feeling sorry for himself, he heads back for home to apologize to his stepdad before the moon rises and he has to run off again. His hand hurts and he's pretty sure it's broken. 
But as he gets home, the door is already open and he senses something is off. Someone else is in there with his Stepdad. 
"Dad?" 
"In the Den, Jack. There's someone here to see you.." 
Tumblr media
Yeah! You get that bread! Delicious delicious bread! 
"Hello, Russell. They told me to announce myself as The Moon Knight. Pretty stupid name--But It'll do as far as you're concerned--" 
Yep. You heard it here first people. 
Now, time line gets a little funky if you try to figure out if this was pre or post death and resurrection by Khonshu. 
This could either be Mercenary Marc Spector for Hire that heard "werewolf" and dressed up in all silver for protection and then got the name Moon Knight and then it later stuck with him after he came back.... OR this is immediately post resurrection (which I find more likely) and it's his first gig. In a later Moon Knight issue we learn that Frenchie had acted as his contact with the group that hired him and the Moon Knight still had no idea what he was doing and still wasn't 100% on board with the 'good guy' routine. In fact, we later learn that the money he made in this job is what helped him get started in Grant Mansion. 
Still doesn't explain why he's like, "Moon Knight? Who the hell picked this name?" And I have to quietly laugh that Marc indeed DID pick the name after he was brought back by Khonshu and the rest of his system was like "Marc, what the fuck? Really? That's what we're going with?" 
ANYWAYS... 
"His voice was muffled under the silver gauze which covered his face like ectoplasm. That was something else I didn't like..." 
Moon Knight explains: Let's say I'm a WORKING Man, Russell, out to do my job and collect my bread. This particular job started down in the waterfront section... Pretty sleazy place--Lots of rats--The stink of filthy Brine--And rotting, sagging warehouses... But one of those warehouses is a lot like that Book you're not supposed to judge by it's cover --Because inside, it ain't rotting or sagging, and the only stink is the smell of money. LOTS of money. I went there on a tip--And found out it was a set-up..." 
We see a bunch of businessmen at a table. 
"So you're Mark Spector." 
"I'm Spector. Who're you?" 
"We'll get to that in time, Mr. Spector. Right now, I find your dossier immensely interesting... Soldier of fortune, mercenary, veteran of THREE African wars, FIVE south American revolutions, Brief flirtation with the C.I.A., Weapons expert, versatile practitioner of virtually all the martial arts, ex-prizefighter, marine commando for Eight years prior to beating a Lieutenant within an inch of his life...Et cetera." 
"So your research department is hot stuff. So what? I was told there'd be money down here. What do I do to get it?" 
Okay so... We don't ever get this dossier again guys. THIS is the dossier of Marc Spector (despite that they spell it Mark here). In fact, they never really review Marc's past in the later comics again. They just say he's well versed in combat. 
That...That is a lot of combat. A lot of war and a lot of revolutions. And we know he wasn't always on the right side of the revolutions. We know he was a boxer, but the prizefighter bit is new. So is the 8 years Marine AND the beating a lieutenant part. We can assume he was discharged after that. That's interesting. 
So when writers forget that MArc knows what the hell he's doing... I have to frown at them a lot. Marc is dangerous. Marc decided he was going to be worth the money and he damn well was. 
Back to the gentlemen! 
"I admire your directness, Mr. Spector, and shall endeavor to emulate it. First, we want you to open that compartment now rising from the table... Then don the rather unique costume you will find inside it. ANd utilize every weapon accompanying that costume..As well as your inherent abilities--To capture and deliver to us a werewolf named Jack Russell. Upon Delivery, you will receive this. Then thousand dollars." 
WELP. There you have it. (But again... take this history with a grain of salt. He wasn't supposed to come back.) 
"That's the story, Russell. Me, I don't believe in werewolves--But the committee's got ten grand that does--So who am I to argue?" 
Ah, the COmmittee. A group of people out to capture the werewolf in some attempt to try to harness its power. 
We see them come back in Moon Knight Issue #4. 
Moon Knight tells Russell that he either goes easy or gets delivered as 'bruised goods'. 
"My head was swimming through queasy nausea as he stalked forward. Was it the pain in my hand or had the Moon festered into a darkening sky? 
My Stepfather decided the issue." 
His stepfather tackles the Moon Knight and tells Jack to run. 
Jack makes a run and starts to feel the Wolf taking over. 
Above him he hears a Helicopter giving chase, tracking him. 
"That's our man up ahead, Frenchie..." We see Moon Knight and Frenchie in the chapter. (Even back then we got the pair and this makes me happy.) "ANd he's just made me a believer in werewolves." 
For once, the werewolf cares not about the scattering humans in the street. He knows the chopter is the target of his distress. 
Moon Knight climbs down the ladder in pursuit. 
Tumblr media
I mean... How many people will go, "WOW .Werewolves are real?!" and then proceed to get into a fight with said werewolf? 
AND WIN THE FIGHT. 
Tumblr media
One of the spectators decides that enough is enough and he calls the police before these crazy things decide to eat them or something (Moon Knight included. Dude just tackled a wolf creature and got into a fight with it on purpose). 
The police take a moment to digest this info.
"Some comic book weirdo is sluggin' it out with a werewolf on a street corner in Westwood." 
Yeah, that sounds about right. 
They try to call in the local expert, but he's on vacation. 
At this point we start to head into Werewolf by Night lore and back story. I'll admit... I've never actually READ werewolf by night. So all of this is very new to me and I have no explanation for who these people are or what's happening. So I'm going to skip a bit of what I'm SURE is important to the long run of the story but will not come up as important to these two key issues we're focusing on. (But you can bet your buppie that I'm going to start reading it. This hat is in my bag. ...This 1970s talk is getting to me.) 
Meanwhile, the two girls from before, Lissa and Topaz, are worrying about Buck and Jack. A helicopter lands and ....Frenchie....what are you doing? Did you learn this from watching Marc? Don't bust through windows! 
Tumblr media
(I’m not counting this. But I should.) 
Back with Moon Knight and the Wolf. 
"I slashed, still favoring my broken hand--and growled in fury as he deftly evaded my raking talons. He'd produced a new weapon now. It looked like a Truncheon. And it was definitely silver." 
Tumblr media
(No don’t chew it! Someone put the cone of shame on him!) 
And there’s Moon Knight, getting to know the ground. He and the ground are gonna be best friends in future runs. 
Moon Knight uses his truncheon to beat the beast and finally the wolf goes down. On cue, Frenchie arrives in the chopper with both girls. 
Tumblr media
This issue comes to an end with Moon Knight GETTING THAT BREAD. 
Moon Knight is also about to have what I lovingly call: A BAD DAY. But that’s in the next issue. 
Werewolf By Night Issue #33: ' Wolf-Beast vs Moon Knight' 
Written by: Doug Moench
Art by: Don Perlin
Published 1975
Tumblr media
You guys. I can’t wait to show you that Moon Knight’s bad decision skills dates back to his first appearance. You have no idea. 
TITLE PAGE! 
I love how they get the names of the people involved in this comic and they put it into the pictures. 
Also... We witness the first of many bad decisions. 
Tumblr media
The chopper continues to rise and the police open fire. 
Tumblr media
He’s doing fine. 
We got more exposition that I'm going to skip because it has more to do with the overall arch of the WBN story and nothing that will come into play in this two part story. 
Now we come to the helicopter flying out over the dock and water. 
Welcome to part 1 of Moon Knight's bad day. 
“No, you stupid idiot! We’re five-hundred feet up!!” 
Tumblr media
Buddy.... Pal... Bestie... 
Narration: But the werewolf didn't care. He was mad. So mad that he'd even forgotten about his broken hand... 
They splash down into the water. 
Tumblr media
"Mangy Freak! The Committee's payin' me ten grand to bring you in alive--And you almost drown us both before I even--" 
Narration: The fight wasn't out of the werewolf yet... In fact, I was just beginning to roar. 
"Crazy fur coat with fangs--! I musta told you a dozen times--The committee wants you alive! And if you can't get that through your hairy head--I'm gonna have to pound it in!!" 
Narration: And in the pounding there was pain--Pain caused by Moon Knight's arsenal of silver weapons...His studded cestus, punching at me...Even the crescent darts, still embedded in my bristling skin... But even if the werewolf had understood the threat silver posed to him, I doubt it would've made much difference. He still remembered the beating he'd taken from this foe. The memory made him MAD...And the rage demanded revenge. 
"Not again, beast-man--I'm getting tired of this!! Watch out you stupid--" 
And back in the water they go. 
Tumblr media
Narration: We hit the pacific for the second time... The water shot fire through my shattered hand, made it throb like a hiccupping balloon... But what was that compared to the beast's life-and-death lust for vengeance--? Answer: Bright nothing, wrapped in pretty bows of bloody violence. So we fought, both struggling to escape hell... 
Narration: ...Each determined to win that struggle... And each to leave the other behind. It was the werewolf who won, breaking free of hell with gasps and wheezes... 
I hauled myself onto the rotting planks, still gasping... But triumphant. 
Or so the werewolf thought. 
"Hold it, mange-puss... I ain't heard no count of ten yet..." 
Moon Knight no... 
Narration: It was impossible. I'd slashed, clawed, mauled, and choked him--ANd he wanted more, still MORE--! I gave him more, a vicious roundhouse slash... But the Moon Knight clutched for that slash and he yanked. Hard. 
And they go back into the water. 
Tumblr media
Moon Knight climbs back out a moment later. 
"God, that thing's dynamite on wheels...Never fought so hard in my life... Gotta rest... Catch my breath... Before he surfaces again... ALREADY?!" 
Narration: Yeah, already-And the fever was too high to quit. It was long overdue, and the werewolf had long since paid for it in pain... 
It was time for the payoff--For returning favors--And for doing unto the other until what was done... COuld never be undone.
The wolf beats on Moon Knight for a bit. He’s pretty ticked off. 
Moon Knight's pretty exhausted at this point and the wolf is starting to get the upper hand. 
But then... Whoopse. It's morning! 
The night is over and the wolf turns back into a very beat up sad Jack Russel... 
Tumblr media
You know how I know this is Marc? (Aside from the fact that this is Pre official Moon Knight and Jake and Steven haven’t been written into existence yet). THE BAD DECISIONS. 
Someone yells down to them and Moon Knight thinks it might be the cops. But it turns out to just be a drunk guy heading home after a night on the town. 
"Well, thank the moon for small miracles... But I still can't believe I saw this guy change like that...My darts must be hurtin' the poor freak. Might as well take 'em out.." 
Frenchie arrives and Moon Knight once more carries Jack up the ladder towards that bread. 
Back at the hospital, Buck woke up only briefly to call out for his friends then fell back asleep. 
The doctor informs the lady that "whatever mauled Mr. Cowan inflicted extensive damage to his sacral region--His lower back--Severing oth the sciatic and femoral nerves. We've done our best, but he still might be paralyzed from the waist down... If he emerges from the coma." 
Yup. Can confirm. You need those nerves. That's not good news. 
Back with Moon Knight! He is now before the committee and he's brought along the two girls and Jack. Time for bread day.
Tumblr media
"All right bozos--You've already stalled the whole day in some top secret meeting-and I ain't waitin' any longer! I brought you your pigeon. Now where's my bread?!" 
"You've brought us an unconscious kid, Mr. Spector...Or should I say Mr. Moon Knight? You seem to be taking that costume rather seriously... But as I was saying, we still have no proof that you have delivered a bona fide Werewolf. Indeed, we can't even be certain that this young man is Jack Russell..." 
The committee also show skepticism that one of the two girls is Jack's sister "and therefore destined to become a werewolf herself someday." 
The committee decides to wait until the final full moon appears that night and they can see for themselves. 
Moon Knight is displeased. 
"I oughta smack that scummy nose right down your throat." 
If it were me, I would not mess with this man. He just spent a whole night fighting a werewolf. 
Jack wakes up to find himself still in a lot of pain and locked in a cage. 
The committee tell Jack that they plan to keep the werewolf as a pet to release when they want certain people murdered. 
As one might imagine, Jack is not on board with this plan. 
He turns to Moon Knight :
"And YOU, crusader rabbit--Are you in the habit of getting paid for slamming people into CAGES?! That's right, I said PEOPLE! Are you shocked to hear that I'm an honest to god Person? Or have you been trying to forget it?! Well, I'm gonna give you a refresher course, Pal... I may be a werewolf--But on my nights off I'm still human! And Believe me, Fancy pants, being the werewolf is a far worse cage than these stinking bars!" 
And the moon rises and he starts to change. 
The committee is all shocked to see him change. 
The wolf is NOT happy to be caged. 
The committee members congratulate Spector "Or Moon Knight if you prefer..." 
(Isn't that so interesting? Even in this early issue where he's just a one off character and no history or past drawn up yet, they still can't get his identity right? What were you planning Mr. Moench? Even back then?) 
Moon Knight doesn't say anything, simply watches the wolf freak out in his cage. 
Jack's sister yells at him. Accusing him of selling Jack to people who want to "turn him into the murderer he's always feared he would become! The murderer he's always fought to avoid--Even when it tore his soul in two!!" 
"Don't listen to her, Marc. Sure, he's her brother... But he's still just a freak--just a beast... Why worry about a beast?" 
Narration: Moon Knight took the money... And stared at me again... 
"Just a beast, all right... But at least a cleaner and more honest beast than you slimy slugs! At least he's a beast with guts! A beast who fights ony to be free! And that's the kind of fight I support, Lard-Butts!!" 
Tumblr media
Moon Knight kicks open the bars! That's one hell of a kick. 
The wolf is loose! And the Moon Knight has changed sides! 
I gotta respect that one member in the back... 
"But I... I don't even carry a gun! I'm just a businessman! You guys dragged me into this werewolf deal because you said it would be good for the economy!" 
"We're ALL businessmen, Hicks!" 
"Yeah--And you're all goin' outta business now!! Especially your two-ton leader.. So I'd advise him to get his lard in gear--Unless he wants it kicked from here to Monterey!" -Moon Knight. 
Narration: The Silver one--The one with the PAIN. He was the one I wanted... But he ducked. 
The wolf soars past Moon Knight and attacks one of the men with guns. 
"Sorry, Fido--But if there's one thing I've learned, it's more fun fightin' with you than against you-- So go get 'em Tiger!" 
"Holy Smokes! Almost forgot the two chicks Frenchie nabbed... With allthe lead flyin' around here, they're liable to turn into swiss cheese." 
Good job Marc. You're doing great there. 
He cuts the two girls down and tells them to make a run for it. 
"But what about Jack?" Jack's sister cries out. 
"Just get outta here! He can take care of himself!" Moon Knight shoos them away. 
"Come ON, Lissa. I don't know what turned that man from a villain into a hero, but he's right--! At this point, Jack has a far better chance than we do--" 
The girls get out and Moon Knight and the Wolf keep fighting through the bad guys. 
Narration: On our own or not, the committee was falling to pieces. Most ran. Others fell. The Moon Knight seemed to geta kick out of it, batling like some gayblade swashbuckler straight from Errol Flynn country... 
(What)
"And Another gabardine hits the dust!" 
(What?) 
Tumblr media
(I'mma play it straight with you... The 1970s language is 100% a thing. It's even better when you remember Marc is from Chicago so all this is probably said with a pretty stiff chicago accent and I'm crying cause I'm trying not to laugh so hard right now. I’ll just let you read through those lines yourself and slap a strong chicago or new york accent on that.) 
ANYWAYS….. 
Moon Knight punts the guy to the wolf who lets off a little steam on him. 
All the bad guys are taken care of. This just leaves Moon Knight and the Wolf in the room alone. 
Narration: Fatso hit the floor like rubberized Jello, and when the quivering stopped...it was just the two of us. I growled, softly...
"Now wait a minute, Pal. You 'n me just fought together. That makes us brothers of the blood where I come from... Where's your sense of camaraderie? Even Frenchie's got some o' that." 
Marc... 
Tumblr media
"All right--If that's the way you feel about it, I'm going' I'm goin'! I may've fought you for ten grand--But I sure ain't gonna do it for free...!" 
....he jumps out the window. 
"And they used to say I was antisocial... I'll send you a bill for the cape, Pal. Ciao!" 
(and they did send a Bill to fix that cape. A Bill Sienkiewicz to be exact.) 
Tumblr media
WELP. I’m sorry to tell you I don’t know if Buck will live or walk again. (I’m sure he’s fine). But this ends Moon Knight in Werewolf by Nigh! 
He appears in several things before 1980 when he gets his own official run. He pops in with the Hulk (in that run we meet Randall. Then say goodbye to Randall) and he also gets a few spotlights. 
The fact that he was supposed to be a one time villain and in just TWO issues, we got so much characterization and tidbits of back story (I’d love to explore that antisocial comment he made back there.) that they couldn’t help but give him more chances. I swear, in these two issues, we got a better look at Moon Knight than I’ve seen certain OTHER writers give him! 
And if I hadn’t of fallen in love with him back when I did, just reading through these couple of issues would have me head over heels. His tenacity, his poor decisions, his repeated trip into the water… This man came out fighting for his life and he’s he went out fighting. 
Here’s to you, Moon Knight. The only person in the whole Marvel Universe stupid enough to fight a werewolf for a solid night and then try to make friends with that werewolf.

Hello, I'm the one from twitter yesterday....Do you mind if I ask for BL manga/manhwa/manhua recs? I already seen the Bl recs you gave to anon some time ago, is it better to give my favorite BL manga like that? (Sorry if I get this wrong.... )
My favorite themes are : childhood friends to lovers, enemies/rivals to lovers, taking care of child/children, happy ending....
Sorry again if the themes are too much, if you want to pick either one, I'm really happy....
Welcome back! Actually, people being specific about what they're looking for (theme, platform, tropes, dynamics etc.) makes it easier for me to narrow titles down. I have my own favorites so obviously those are what comes to mind immediately, but when people come to me asking for something specific, I go back to digging old stuff back! Some series provide a good read, but not to a point where I remember them, let's say, 6 months down the road :,) It's also a by-product of reading a lot. N e gays, let's dive!
Tumblr media
Enemies/rivals to lovers is a trope I love as well, and I actually have made a short list of titles I like with that trope. Putting that one here in case you have missed it.
Childhood friends is not a big favorite (if it's a childhood friends + a love triangle I avoid it like plague 😣) but there are series that I loved available on Futekiya:
Love and Howling (Masa Masaru) - This one also contains some supernatural elements, overall, it was an interesting read.
Perfect Propose (Tsurukame Mayo) - Has dubious consent BUT older bottoms are chef's kiss imo and it's sooo pretty. If you love domestic life, this will be up your alley.
I'll Make You Cry (Nozomu Hiiragi) - I'll never shut up about this one!!! Sooo cute and extremely funny! I personally love delinquents with an attitude 💞
Revival Blue (itz) - I have my own reasons for avoiding childhood friends that include a love triangle and this one avoids that route BUT the rivalry part still feels a bit forced and bland. Yet! This one has age gap and a bit of angst sprinkled with a happy ending, it was sooooo good!
Life in Our Hometown with Me and You (Isino Aya) - This one is as slice-of-life as it can get. Very chill and perfect for a comfort read.
Not from Futekiya but Living With Him by Miyata Toworu is another chill, very sweet childhood friends-to-forced-to-live-together-bc-of-their-mothers-to-lovers story! Just reread it today 💞
Also, here's a very interesting manhwa on Lezhin (free to read) called Count Tachibana. Love the historical aspect and love the expressive art style with bold colors more! (The list was getting long so I cut it short but if you need more childhood friends recs hit me up again ^^)
Tumblr media
Now, BL with kids is less of a favorite. I don't avoid them completely, but don't go into them excitedly as well. Looking for Omegaverse titles would be more likely to find such titles. I'll list a couple that I found cute (despite the kids xD):
Our Dining Table (Mita Ori) - Another down-to-earth, cute and chill title. The kid in the story is actually the brother of one of the male leads (they have a big age gap) but the story is centered around their domestic life and food, super sweet.
Would You Like to be a Family? (Koyama) - I remember reading this on Futekiya, it was a single dad story I believe.
Sorry I don't have a lot of recs that have children in them, the one's I've read are titles that everyone know. For the rest, I tried to go for titles that I don't see circulate around as much, hope they'll be to your taste as well. See you around ~

so i’ve been on a nostalgia kick and re-reading J. Michael Straczynski‘s early 2000s run of The Amazing Spider-Man because my library had the trades collected when i was a kid, and it’s definitely just pretty bad* with only a little bit of good**, but eventually i got to a sudden art style shift and i howled laughing because i instantly realized that i had gotten to “Sins Past,” the infamous story arc where Straczynski retroactively made it fact that Gwen Stacy, who had been dead in the ground for decades, cucked Peter Parker with Norman Osborn, the Green Goblin who literally killed her. it’s one of the most unhinged, amazingly disgusting stories ever shoved into the sprawling canon of comic books and not retconned for like 20 years
because it’s not just enough actually that he made it so that before she died, Gwen Stacy had merely cheated on Peter Parker with an arch-nemesis who’s old enough to be her father. no. she got PREGNANT. she had TWINS. she had SECRET BABIES in EUROPE that Peter NEVER FOUND OUT ABOUT, and those babies have GOBLIN SERUM in their DNA that AGED THEM INTO ADULTS and now they’re trying to KILL PETER PARKER for REASONS. but it’s not even just THAT.
what truly makes the story arc so terrible, so enduringly infamous, so legendarily bad, was that the issue places an extreme amount of emphasis on the fact that Peter and Gwen never had sex when they were a couple. it’s how Peter knows the kids couldn’t possibly be his own
and so you get this three page series where Peter is realizing that not only did Gwen Stacy cheat on him but she went behind his back and PITY-FUCKED fucking NORMAN OSBORNE to get BRED by the SUPERPOWERED SEED of his GOBLIN COCK and also he is a HORRIFYINGLY OBVIOUS AND UNCANNY TRACED IMAGE OF FAMOUS ACTOR TOMMY LEE JONES
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
and the funniest possible thing is that the only reason i’ve been reading this is because that aforementioned nostalgia kick was brought about by joining a book club thing with some twitter mutuals where we’re going to read the Superior Spider-Man series about Doctor Octopus switching bodies with Peter Parker, and Peter-as-Otto dying and the victorious Otto-as-Peter becoming Spider-Man himself, but Peter’s soul sort of lingering around and trying to get his body back, and Peter’s soul also screaming in anguish as Otto-as-Peter whacks off to the memory of Peter fucking Mary Jane and Otto-as-Peter goes around basically trying to fuck all his girlfriends. if i had a nickel for every time Peter Parker howled in agony because he was getting cucked by one of his arch-enemies i would have two nickels. which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice.
*poor pacing, groan-worthy dialogue, hideous inks and colors, Strac retreading too many older and better stories including retreading the Master Planner triumph thing twice in the span of like ten issues, Strac’s mind-numbing 2000s liberal politics showing in issues about 9/11 and school shootings and vulnerable inner-city youth and doctor doom going to a climate conference to demand international co-operation against america’s disproportionately voluminous and impactful emissions but he’s an evil dictator so it’s Bad that he’s doing this and then somebody tries to assassinate him for being an evil dictator but spidey and captain america save him because even evil dictators should be protected by the Rule Of Law, etc, i could literally just go on
**I was going to say Ezekiel but that whole storyline anti-climaxes hard so it literally is just Morlun, who’s a dracula that feeds on animal-themed superpowered people. oh and the fact that peter parker is working as a science teacher at his old high school is PHENOMENAL conceptually but i just wish it wasn’t trapped in this otherwise pretty dogshit run

If you have any ocs and you’re comfortable sharing I’d like to hear about them! No pressure!
[tumblr] stop trying to eat my inbox challenge impossible
THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS IN MY HEAD U DONT EVEN GET IT ok maybe u do because i, unfortunately, havent been fixated on my ocs but instead fully on BATIM so oops
anyways ramble under the cut
OK OK SO FIRST OF ALL I LOVE YOU SECOND I HAVE A WORLD IN MY HEAD THAT I STARTED TO LIKE WRITE ABOUT IN MY SKETCHBOOK LMAO
ok so sanaa, a fennsang- a hybrid between a banded linsang(sort of like a weasel, theyre really cool) and a fennec fox- is like the protag of this world. she was my brainrot for a year but uh i kind of maybe lost that spark
(i cant find any art of her but itd be like really old<///3)
i also had cody, an african wild dog!
Tumblr media
i do not like my old art style but i love my little trans man ghjdbfjejfbr . anyways i also designed Maou/Mawu, an african moon goddess, and tried my best to do research on animals associated with her, as well as the blood moon festival. ofc, i was young and probably missed so many details, so please forgive my ignorance as i know i cant do it justice
i wrote, " in central africa, at the festival of the blood moon. Taking place every 30 years it is celebrated to welcome the Moon goddess, Mawu(Maou), from her 30-year slumber. It lasts the whole night, from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 a.m. food and drinks are sold at stalls for a certain amount of bugs. Some bugs are more valuable than others." the bug part is my universe thing, obviously, theyre like a type of currency for most critters- another type is kelp or mushrooms, sort of like trading- but ofc its not exactly like real-life currency. another passage on a different page is " the moon parade, also called Mawoo, is a parade/festival celebrated all throughout Central africa, mainly in nigeria, where the canines gathered together to howl to awaken her(Mawu)" obv i put like worldbuilding there but i sort of feel like it isnt,, idk. i dont think i should have based it that closely on a real-life thing idk idk heres an old drawing
Tumblr media
i was so proud at the time but i wanna redraw these goobers fjejbfje. actually brb gonna do tht
hi im back like an hour later with sketches tweehee
Tumblr media Tumblr media
much better i think :)
anywayswhere was i,,,, uh. ok anyways moving on ig? sanaa's parents met at this festival and they were like yea we vibe together. jakob(linsang dad) and feechi(fennec mom) ((can u tell im not good at names fjejfn)) and they settled down in south africa to have a kid and raise it properly kind of thing. sanaa grows up alright, the kind of kid that like,,, wanders around her neighborhood, picking up sticks and rocks, throwing them at the ground from the top of a tree she climbed because you stopped looking at her for 2 seconds
so lne day she meets cody, because she accidentally threw a stick at him she wasnt looking. so they were like. yeah we r friends now :)
they grow up together, get an apartment and are ROOMIE BUDDIES when they turn like 20 cos its fun. insert angst insert angst and suddenly the town is in hysteria and THATS WHERE I STOPPED WRITING NOOOO :(

Hii *On hands and knees* good Gerry fics/author recommendations please?
under the cut! as its long and a bit silly
first off, anon, if you would like a document entitled "jongerry fic recs" send me a dm anytime. it is a detailed list through my favorites to ones i hate, alongside some other recommendations. some things from there will be mentioned here, but not all! feel free to dm me abt that i dont bite ^__< besides that. most fic recs ill give are romantic. i love romance so much. so:
author recommendations:
verboseDescription <- wrote one of my favorite jongerry fics ill ever read. really interesting writing style, GREAT character voices, ALSO wrote the BEST timgerry series out there it makes me go bonkers. IceEckos12 <- wrote a howl's moving castle au i've reread 3 times. i drew art for that fic (ITS OLD ART NOW). generally has a GREAT gerry voice and really interesting, heartwarming fics. PitViperOfDoom <- STILL REGULARLY WRITES REALLY WELL DONE TMA FICS, TYPICALLY INCLUDING GERRY (WHO IS QUITE WELL WRITEN) ITS. i really appreciate it. i like, ADORE their work.
fic recomendations:
fool me, fool me - andro(slur im not comfortable typing LOL) : every single time i read this fic i cry it's so funny and sweet and ive read it 4 times and tis perfect and amazing and and and (EXPLODES INTO A FINELY CRUSHED DUST, SCATTERING UPON THE EARTH AND PROVIDING THEM WITH WONDERFUL NUTRIENTS) so like read it. ok? ive got his number from the great beyond - verbosedescription : basically the same as above except less on the funny more on the oh my fucking god. oh my god. oh my god. ue, ue, ue. ive read it 3 times bailey school kids - verbosedescription : this fic genuinely hurts me to read because it makes me so emotional i cried so hard i couldnt see at the end of this once. ive read it 5 times he stands in front of the mirror with a net, hoping to catch something - blackwood (transjon) : this fic is utterly heartbreaking. its so well written. it makes me fucking crazy. why'd it have to be a bin. it didnt have to be a bin! fuck! god! auhhhh!!!!
i'm going to be so serious i literally have so little gerry standalone fics because they are never well written. i've tried so much they're all bad. theres one where he fucking converts to christianity i am SO fucking serious rn. i read the whole thing because i was intensely curious and it ended with him going to a fucking church in america it was literally INSANE i HATED IT. maybe one day ill trudge through his tag, but. its also just full of him making a one-off appearance and never being a meaningful character so it doesn't feel worthwhile, really? meaningless standard trite that contains just the most bland takes and writing styles ever. also porn. and i dont. read that so... i have a lot more recommendations but they're all in that document or in the mentioned author's works! dm me whenever ill literally always wanna talk about gerry he specifically has been my special interest for... two years...
tldr: read fool me, fool me, all of verbosedescription's work, and dm me for a google doc of jongerry recs with some other stuff in there. yippee!! ^__<

Now that I finished my Ghibli watch (so many movies), let's give a mini review of how I liked each one:
Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind -> Amazing! Loved it. World building and characters were stellar. Just the 80ies sounds were a bit jarring. But all the time I watched at the movie and was going "Caelid?! Malenia?!"
Yeah, someone at FromSoft got inspired by this movie.
Castle in the Sky -> I thoroughly enjoyed this one. I liked the magical elements, the robots and the pirates. Also how the children decided in the end to give up on Laputa because there is already life up there. Beautiful.
Grave of the Fireflies -> Netflix didn't have it! So I have to watch it elsewhere! I want to, I heard the film fucks you up.
My Neighbour Totoro -> Cute and wholesome! Also realistic toddler character with Mei ^^ I loved it and I want to touch the cat bus.
Kiki's Delivery Service -> I would have loved to have 30 minutes more for the movie. It felt like it was over too soon. The moment Kiki was in the town, it felt like it was over again. I wish we could have spent more time with her.
Only Yesterday -> It was fine, but I felt myself more attached to Taeko's childhood flashbacks instead of her adult life.
Porco Rosso -> Felt a bit like it was going nowhere. Would have loved to see the romance between Porco and the opera lady explored more.
Ocean Waves -> Oh god, don't let me go on a Rikako rant. I HATE HER! Yeah, the movie was boring and the ending downright frustrating. I need to watch the scene of Taku bitchslapping Rikako to feel inner peace.
Pom Poko -> I watched this one ages ago on free TV, but remember enough. It was enjoyable, but without knowlegde of the japanese tanuki myth this movie must come over as WEIRD.
Whisper of the Heart -> Ocean Waves wanted to be this, but failed. I loved this one. Especially the scene where Country Roads was sung. A good coming of age story for a girl who doesn't know where she stands in life yet.
Princess Mononoke -> Classic. Watched it ages ago. Can't rewatch and it is a bummer. Why do there have to be TWO blood vomiting scenes in this movie which scare me? A LOT?! Maybe I rewatch and just look elsewhere during the scenes where San accompanies the hurt boar…
My Neighbours the Yamadas -> Didn't watch. Feels like it was based on a Showa era manga. Showa era humour is just cringe to me.
Spirited Away -> First Ghibli movie ever. Saw in the cinema. Rewatched a few times. A classic. Deserved the Oscar. Noface is best.
The Cat Returns -> A bit short. But a cute adventure with cats. Reuses the baron of Whispers of the Heart. I liketo think that was the book that the protag of this movie actually published ^^
Howl's Moving Castle -> Howl is a drama queen and we love him for it. Loved this movie. Fantastic. Loved Howl's monster form and that Sophie is a monsterfucker.
Just was annoyed by dub voice for young Sophie. Sounded horrible.
Tales from Earthsee -> Someone tried to condense a huge fantasy novel into a two hour movie. Didn't work. The characters barely could shine.
Hilarious accidental trans character in the dub. The villain wizard was clearly male, was called he/him and called lord, but had a female dub voice. I couldn't help but headcanon him as trans masc thanks to it.
Ponyo ->Cuuuute. Ponyo and Sosuke are so cute. Ponyo's fish face weirded me out though.
Arietty -> Probably one of the best borrower adaptations out there. Just disliked the ending. I really wanted them to move into the dollhouse.
From Up on Poppy Hill -> Boring. Barely remember the movie.Main character was flaaat.
The Wind Rises -> Strange. Half of the movie felt like a dream. Excellent animation on the earthquake though.
The Tale of the Princess Kaguya -> EXCELLENT! Animation and style is BEAUTIFUL! I love the music, I loved the retelling of the fairy tail. This movie is nothing short but art.
When Marnie was there -> This movie is a tearjerker. A BIG one, but I have an issue with it. It had very sapphic feelings and then they reveal that Marnie was Anna's grandmother all along?! Dude, then why the queerbait?!
Earwig and the Witch -> Didn't watch. Didn't want to watch movie which was 3D animated. I wanted to watch all the 2D animated ones. If you think I should give the movie a chance, I will watch it.

Hi! Can I get a Monster Prom matchup, please?
I'm a transgender man who's queer. I don't really have a label for my sexuality yet so I pretty much go with anything.
I'm into heavy punk/rock music and I enjoy dressing alternative! (I like to drift between grunge and goth). I typically enjoy going to indie concerts (the smaller venue the better) and taking walks through my city. I like digital art though I have trouble sharing it with others. I also love video games! Horror, slice of life, indie rpgs, etc are all fun! I wouldn't mind playing co-op with someone. I'm a huge animal person too; when I was younger, I'd go out in the garden after it had just rain and try to catch critters. I specifically love snakes, cats, and dogs. Off topic but I love cryptids too!
I don't like spicy food. Bummer, I know. I just don't have that good of a tolerance. I don't tolerate people who get off to making fun of others for their fashion choices (unless it's offensive). It gives off petty middle schooler vibes y'know? I also don't like people who try to act like they have the upper hand in a friendship/relationship.
I'm usually a self-reserved person but I'm not afraid to speak up when I want to. I'm often respectful towards others and I have a tendency to compliment people when they're dressed nice or simply wearing something I know (like a band shirt). My love language is gift giving; I love to spoil my friends and they're usually my first thought when I'm out shopping. I would say physical touch is my love language too but I'm usually not the one to initiate it lol.
out of all fandoms i write for, i would've never expected a monster prom ask. yipee !! i love monster prom sm its such a shame theres not much content for it anymore :'(
anyways, i think you'd look good with . . .
[🏈] Scott Howl !!
Tumblr media
♡ Since the beginning of your time at Spooky High, Scott has always been up your ass about your intriguing style, which is very much different that anyone else he knows.
♡ So, can you really blame him? He's a diehard supporter of your fashion choice and always tries to squeeze his way into a concert with you. Honestly thinks you're the coolest person he's ever seen, like, ever.
♡ The compliments never end. "You're so handsome!", "You look cute today!", whatever he can come up with. He makes sure you know how much he loves you, daily. Every hour. Every minute.
♡ Although Scott is more used to loud and rough crowds, he very much enjoys being in your company at said venues. Is never not close from you and is always giving positive feedback when he can, even if he doesn't particularly like the music and isn't familiar with it.
♡ Whatever makes you happy makes him happy, really. You could be excited over a banana and he'd be so fucking ecstatic over it too. When you're sad, he's sad. When you're angry, he's angry. Though, when it is needed, Scott will try his best to comfort you and get you through tough times.
♡ ...Walks? Walks. In the CITY? Yeah no you're never going on another walk alone AGAIN. Constantly asks you when you're going out, and if he can tag along. Unless you have a schedule- then he's up and ready ten minutes early. It's his favorite thing to do with you! He'll point out anything funny/interesting or anything he thinks you'd like.
♡ Thinks you're super talented and will praise your art to no ends if you decide to show him a piece. You're better than Bob Ross, Picasso, and any other historical artist he can think of. As long as you're comfortable, he'll mention and brag about your amazing art skills to anyone who'll listen.
♡ Co-op video games? He may not be as good as you are, but he's surely trying his best. If you end up playing a game in which you fight each other, he'd probably accidently win. Just smashes the buttons and hopes it works tbh. Though, after figuring out the basics, he'd purposefully lose for you. Gets all excited when you win, "yeah, beat me up! go go go!"
♡ Do I even need to mention anything about you being an animal lover? No. I think this one explains itself quite well LOL. You two would probably have a pet snake, or a bug.
♡ Mostly does the speaking for you in public settings and ordering food and whatnot. Doesn't mind at all! He never pressures you to speak or do anything you're not comfortable with. Though he'll definitely hype you up and try to encourage you to break out of your shell more! (Mainly because he doesn't really understand self-reserved people).
♡ You're in luck! Buy Scott a present and he'll go insane with buying you gifts back and will shower you in kisses & "thank you's". Could be the smallest little thing or something you made for him yourself and he'd love it forever. Cherishes anything you give him no matter what. Even if it's a shirt that doesn't fit or an item he can't use.
♡ Don't worry about initiating physical touch, Scott has got it covered! Understands boundaries (if you have them) perfectly clear, but sometimes forgets, though he deeply apologizes for this and tries to make up for it any way he can. Adores hugs, kisses, cuddles, you name it. Anytime and any place, as long as you're okay with it.
♡ He's just a big goofball that loves & cherishes you no matter what, you could grow seven tongues and five eyes and he really wouldn't care. As long as you're the same, self-reserved, caring person you always are; his love for you won't ever change.

sure! show us some sketches :D doesn’t matter if it’s WIP or unfinished art.
Well, then maybe I can throw off a few pages of what I did while I was not online (careful, terrible photo quality)

Then I re-read Howl's Moving Castle... And it seems to be clear that this is a moving castle, but at the same time it does not look like a moving castle at all.

At one time I tried to come up with another scary thing in the style of Psychonauts (something under the definition of forgetfulness, but then bookworms appeared in the second psychonauts and now it seems to me that this idea is worthless) Well, also sketches of other opponents from memory

Original sketch. By the way, it makes sense for me to collect these origin sketches and make a separate post, maybe someone will be interested...

I have no idea how I came up with this hand-shaped thing. But I like it

Leroy and Reflection on my first romantic relationship

I still haven't learned how to draw Sasha from memory

And sketches of my oldest fan-ots, on mha, which I did not show you. And her quirk... is technically the same as Kota? I created it before I found out about it... And for which I'm still uncomfortable, but I don’t want to change this moment at all.

And yes, it was very boring
