I want to say your style is soft and whimsical? If that's the word. Its a nice variation to a lot of the others I've seen. Sorry if my words are not wording. I love your style is just so fluffy and sweet between Ghost and Soap.

daww thank you! That's so sweet!! Drawing big buff military men has been a challenge for me, it's very different from my usual stuff - but it's fun to love a piece of media so much that it forces you to leave your creative comfort zone. I used to only draw animals when I started out, so that's definitely shaped my style into what it is. But Ghost and Soap deserve a little softness, as a treat, so it’s ok that my style is sorta mismatched with the source material

#ask #xpaintedladyx #warning: rambling in the tags #whimsical is such a sweet word thank uu #like i know making them soft and sweet is ooc but my mental illness demands it #they get to be macho and dudebros in canon #my art style has also changed since getting into cod #believe it or not but I used to draw even more cartoony and that just didn’t fit the vibes I wanted to hit #I didn’t want to make them too dainty so I’ve rly pushed myself to learn how to draw muscles and angular shapes #which probably surprises u considering how soft it still looks XD #it’s also why my art tends to fluctuate a lot bc I’m trying out a bunch of stuff to find a style I’m happy with #going thru my page is just ‘different brushes for lineart’ and ‘different ways of colouring and shading’ #I’m getting somewhere slowly tho

[luminixx]

okay since tiktok people (love them all still) were still asking for this and nothing else here is the last last part which is also, traditionally, very unserious

DID I DRASTICALLY CHANGE THE STYLE AGAIN? Yes. Does anyone care? Hopefully not! I promise I will stay more consistent from now onnn (probably) since I've already figured some stuff out with the hazbinarting. I had some artsy experiments with this one, the neon thing was awesome to color

I want to draw some stuff with the sins next but generally feel free to send over any ideas or requests anything hh/hb ! :)) anything u want, it's a lot of fun

Hi…so dragons in my au

Im still thinking what kind of roll I would give to the dragon girlies I’ll have to think abt it carefully. I think more than a year ago I redesigned the dragons for my au, but now that I have a solid design of the Golden Goddesses I decided to go back to my old au designs and revamp them.

So in my LF au but also my GG au the Golden Goddesses in a last ditch effort they become dragons and leave behind the triforce. Their names have been altered and changed by the course of time so that is why their dragon counterparts have different names from their original form.

So Nayru -> Naydra, Farore -> Farosh, Din -> Dinnral

Now to their designs (tee hee <3) if u already have seen my designs of the Golden Girlies u already know I’ll implement their race heavily on to their dragon designs. Along w some other stuff

Let start w Farosh

She’s a Minish! Tbh she would probably be the “closest” one to the canon designs. But I do have a few ref ideas I would like to implement to her dragon design. Red Ruffed Lemurs for head shape and also the eyes ❤️(and maybe fur also) and having a slim reptilian body. She’s the simplest out of the two but that is mostly cause I have a clear idea of her.

Ok now to Dinnral

Me kicking my feet thinking abt drawing a goron dragon tee hee ❤️ Back when I was drawing Din I used pics of tigers and boars for her general design. For her dragon form i decided to go the traditional eastern dragon route. So I’ll stick to that now adding eastern dragons into the mix :]

OK FINALLY NAYDRA

She’s going to be the unique one out of the bunch as the other two would fly constantly. Naydra will mostly stick to the water regions of Hyrule and occasionally go on the cold snowy mountains of Lanayru. I’ll go w a salamander/axolotl approach to her design, and just to be freaky w it I’ll give her human-like teeth like those types of fishes in replacement of dragon teeth

copy pasting this here from my bluesky bc I really want to know ur thoughtsss

so- idk if I ever mentioned this but—

I’m currently on a break from Substar and Patreon bc of stress and health and such,,, and one of the things I realized I needed to change was to move away (tho not completely) from fanart so… would u guys keep enjoying my art if it wasn’t mostly fanart anymore??

I wonder this specially bc I’ve built myself around ichigrimm and grimmjow in general afsgdg

buT I’ve also gotten quite a lot of people who tell me they don’t even know who they are but they still like seeing it 😂💕so … maybe creating original stuff wouldn’t be so big a change??? 🤔

mostly I just think since I’ve done it so much it’s starting to get harder to actively create more and more for it, I think I’d rather keep drawing oc art (and porn, ofc u know I’m an nsfw artist in the end so that wouldn’t stop adsgdg) and new-new character design instead of basing myself on the boys💕 Don’t get me wrong, I still enjoy it, and if the inspiration strikes I’ll probably draw them again, or make a whole little AU for them again,,, but I want that to stop being my focus.

Also I want to share more sketchbook work for subscribers only and also maybe include some crafting stuff like sculpting and sewing and such, focusing on digital art a lot didn’t leave me space for that and I’ve been doing it on this break a lot and it’s honestly been great so 💫

yeah so I’d love to know your thoughts, even if u can’t/won’t be a subscriber in the future, since in the end a lot of that stuff will end up being shared here anyway 😂💕

#text post #could really use some insightttt #I’m pretty much set on the change.. bc I need to look after my health and try and also bc I don’t want the boys to give me an artblock #so this is also a bit of a psa of sorts?

I would love to know things about your rewrite fic!

Ok so I JUST remembered that this was in my ask box lol I’m so sorry I completely forgot to respond to this

So I have a google doc outlining everything I have planned for my DSMP rewrite, I’ve pretty much realized that the fic itself is probably not going to get made just cause I do not have that kind of free time, but I still wrote out all my plans and even a timeline, as well as some character descriptions for the main characters/characters I changed significantly (some characters get a lot less focus than others sorry about that)

I’ll link the doc but if u have any questions feel free to send in another ask or just message me I’m fine with that too

I will go ahead and warn y’all that this rewrite is extremely personal and probably won’t be for everyone. I change a lot of things, I add characters and remove some, I change backstories and I make up entirely new worldbuilding. The main story is mostly the same but especially towards the end I change things up a lot and even all this isn’t fully fleshed out.

So if you read this and you aren’t a fan or you think I changed too much, that’s fine just please don’t come after me for the decisions I made. If you wanna suggest stuff you think I should add or you think would be cool I’m so open to seeing new ideas I just don’t wanna be bullied for this ok

Oh also there’s some drawings in here that I use in the character descriptions, I tried to credit the artists (and now they’re mostly made by me) but if you see an artwork and it says “made by unknown” below it or something and you know who made it tell me right away so I can credit them

Anyway here’s some updated designs. I made them more animatable

Also just like I have on all my DSMP posts don’t tag as DSMP or anything to do with Dream thanks

can we get more mr preston lore? from the W.I. mod thingy, funfacts it can be anything

ehe i rlly like him hes silly

I will let yk that there're still stuff missing and I will probably add more things or change them in the future since this isn't 100% canon/official

I already mentioned this before but I will repeat it and more by showing u a drawing so u understand what I mean

In the original it's about an "infidelity" where Mickey discovers that Minnie seems to be in love with someone else

In the D-side version, Mr. Preston accidentally commits something (I can't think of anything right now, maybe a magic trick gone wrong) causing Ortensia's death

In short... an accident

This makes Mr. Preston feel guilty and not want to be a "murderer"

maybe with the idea that someone wants him dead... he was planning to escape from the city/country

but someone notices that guy's strange behavior and I tried to talk/help him

AND NO... I WILL ALSO REJECT THAT OSWALD IS THE ONE WHO WANTS TO KILL HIM!!! IT WOULD BE TOO OBVIOUS... DAH

Fun fact:

the person who tries to kill Pretson does hurt him in one part (I don't know if in the arm or in another area other than his balls)

Mr. Preston is a desperate and paranoid person cuz he knows perfectly well that hes going to die or that they're simply going to put him in prison (hehe... Pretson... prison...)

he needs Sensei's help

If for some reason u have an idea, u can say it ;)

I finished the pretty gorls ON TIME!

2022 Version

2021 Version

(I'm also going to reblog them right after this is posted)

I'm gonna ramble under the cut about the designs n stuff but you can scroll past that to get to the timelapse if u want.

@jotg-miraculousrewriteau is where you'll see any updates about this story/au/rewrite I have going on if you get interested. It'll take some time before I get around to writing it but I'll be trying to draw more. I'll list some reasons for why I haven't gotten much out recently under the cut. Not abandoning the au tho!

This one was a STRUGGLE and part of it was because I still liked last year's and because my interest in ml has taken a back burner with other interests BARGING IN this year.

Not to say that I don't want to work on my rewrite anymore, but I'm probably gonna do some more rewatching so I can get fully back into it again. I can't really plop down what I've come up with for the rewrite and be satisfied anyway, so I'm stuck until I get the thing written and drawn.

THAT ASIDE, I changed up their posing again and included updates to the character design. I don't know if what I've drawn Marinette in here will stick for her redesign as far as outfits are concerned, but I don't really like the previous outfit I gave her anymore so I needed to work with something new.

Overall I like how this turned out, even if I'm a bit unsure abt other areas.

Specifics: Once again, I liked coloring and drawing Marinette more which shouldn't be a surprise since I have more to work with in her design. I made the foolish mistake of not including her freckles in the past, so now I'm amending for that. She's sort of matching her bf now.

I included some lore bits abt Tikki and Marinette's complicated relationship here that I haven't talked abt before. Marinette is not doing anything to Tikki intentionally, but I have a plot line in the story I have planned that involves how the kwamis went from deities to kwamis. Got caged in the miraculous. And the consequences that follow.

INcluding Marinette and Tikki gaining a strained relationship for the majority of the story.

But that's all I'll say on that for now.

You might notice Marinette's skintone has changed a bit from other redesigns. What happened was, when I was first coming up with ideas for the rewrite, I was going off of critisysms I saw a lot and noting them down. One, was that Mari didn't look like she was biracial and her skin tone should reflect that. Now. I was young and figured "Oh okay! So. Lets look up what average chinese skintones are!" ...I found the racist color swatches that got pretty close to yellow and I ignorantly changed her skin tone to that.

So! Now her skin tone is closer to canon's and I've decided anything about her heritage isn't something I'll tackle in my rewrite/au since I'm not qualified. I still have some things I've changed so she looks similar to both parents, but no more of that skin tone.

Lol I didn't get the timelapse started until the basic sketches were completed

I really adore your ocs and I was hoping to know more about them a little mostly spunko and hokey, do you have any facts about any tiny facts about them at all?

OUGH I'm glad u asked that here I feel awkward typing paragraphs on IG for some reason.... They're for a comic idea I have called Feeding Frenzy I was gonna include a mini zine of it in my last store update but I couldn't finish it on time rip

It takes place in the early 80s because Spunko is based on 80s newave underground comix, design wise he's more specifically inspired by Zoo-Lou from Roachmill and Marvel's Slapstick and then Hokey is supposed to look like a faux Hanna-Barbera character

-They're married or sometimes just friends; whatever is most convenient for the plot because logic like that is Funnie

-Hokey assures everyone he's a beloved cartoon character but no one remembers his shitty cartoon show (I don't know if it's that noticeable I draw him with thicker outlines + no hatching so he looks more 2d than the other characters)

-The other parasite I've posted before (her name is Marzda) is the only real antagonist, the other characters are just people that Spunko royally pissed off

-^^^She's a villain because parasites also kill other parasites. They all have different unique abilities; Marzda can use her hair/ears as tentacles, Spunko doesn't seem to have any. I've a had a few friends who thought Spunko's ears were pigtails lol

-Parasites can only die from starvation. WIP but the comix have a lot of senseless cartoony gore so Spunko never dies from being brutally cut in half <3

-They own a defunct ice cream truck.. Spunko doesn't have a driver's license and Hokey probably needs a booster seat

-Spunko and Hokey live in an abandoned bunker in the sewers

-They met when Hokey fell off a truck taking him to the slaughterhouse and his stupid arse rolled into Spunko while he was trying to steal the door off of a cop car

-Neither of them really have hobbies (Hokey's only interest is being around Spunko) so they either watch tv or steal gas station hot dogs. Spunko is good at drawing but he never does it...He likes going to concerts after he ties Hokey to a bike rack outside the venue

-Parasites can shapeshift to lure humans. Spunko can too but he rarely does

-Hokey wasn't even the main character in his show, I still need to cleanup my drawings of the guy he was co-star to though. Fun fact Hokey's last name is Hogwash but he was always credited as "the other guy" in the cartoon lol

ALSO I swear this is Spunko's permanent design lmao I kept slightly tweaking stuff for awhile. This is Hokey's final color palette too I have a habit of making small changes to color palettes that aren't even noticeable

Here's a gift if you read the whole thing (blows u a kiss)

Redesigning Cal!!

Variations and explanations under the cut :DD

My brain got fried trying to draw the full body design, so I settled for a headshot for now. No worries I'll post the full one at some point!

Anyways, Cal is tricky to design: he's essentially a past version of Wild. If I take off the uniform he'll be a twin of some sort, and while that makes sense he's very different from Wild and I feel he deserves a design of his own that differentiates him from Wild SOMEHOW. But where else can I get ideas BUT Wild??

To solve this, I figured he'd have some clothes aspects of the chain into his clothing :0 an example being the fluffy fur pelt like scarf, like Twilight's! I have more ideas in things like that being incorporated onto him, but there's only so much space in a headshot. Anyway, it's little things like that that show the chain accepting Cal as their new brother and part of the family! Like little gifts or smth 🥺

When I finished, I couldn't help but think of some headcanons: i imagine perhaps while Cal's insecurities and stuff would mellow down or so with the chain and darling comforting him, he still can't exactly help his stiffness and silence; he can't help it when he got thrown into the royal knights, especially becoming the personal bodyguard of the princess. There's a lot of scrutiny placed on him, and so much pressure. It's no wonder why he shut himself up for a while. So even when the chain and darling would soften and loosen him up, he's as silent or so as a board when around anyone else but his brothers and beloved. He can't really trust, nor feel at much ease. Man's always on guard, and when he found himself a goddess to worship? Especially more so. So it felt fitting to give him some mask that covers half of his face; it shows he isn't exactly open, and is reserved and closed off for most. He does at times puts it down with the chain and Y/N, of course.

The fur pelt thing around his shoulders, I imagine he takes comfort in them; they're like a hug from Twilight or even the chain, and the soft fur helps give him a little happiness and it's soothing. He holds it when he thinks of his brothers, and perhaps tugs it around him, like a blanket around him whenever the chain isn't with him. (He especially does it a lot in TTAU :')) But those are headcanons for another day—)

Also, that rose? It's darling's flower! In Yandy's case, it could be a wildflower, but it can change into any flower or symbol u want! But for my Y/N or OC, they're heavily themed around roses so it's only fitting <33 anyway, it's much like an oath, and a seal to the vow; to accept the chain as family, means accepting and worshipping their goddess. He clutches the flower whenever he thinks of his darling, when he misses her, when he's ridding off a pest that dared to hurt her, so on. (Another habit he does in TTAU—)

Lastly, the hoodie. More so a nod to his role in my head: being a shadow protector of the sorts. Because he's always there in the background, standing there blending into the crowd. No one notices him (except mayhaps his newfound family), and it gives him the upper hand when facing off enemies and the likes. They won't notice they were taken out until they black out suddenly. Tho, this with the mask? Ninja, assassin vibes. And he probably fits the role too. You wouldn't see him coming, and while the telltale signs of his boiling wrath mayhaps be flowing out of his body, you wouldn't stand much of a chance with this guy.

[birindale]

I've mentioned the so-called "U-Matic tapes" before, but had tabled finding footage of them bc the next step was going to involve a lot more hacking than I'm capable of. But on my most recent research quest, I got a bootleg DVD which contained an unlisted feature: my personal white whale.

So what is this? Why did I want a copy so bad?

The U-Matic tapes were found in Filmation archives, and we believe this was part of the collaborative process between Mattel and Filmation's development of the characters.

It's easy to look at the Filmation designs and see where the studio's common practices are put into effect. Hordak was changed from gray-skinned to blue so that he would pop out against the backgrounds better. She-Ra's spiraling chest emblem was made symmetrical, because they'd learned that asymmetry and stock footage do not get along during their Superman cartoon.

But this--these designs, this singular tape--this is our missing link. The common ancestor between the first wave toys and the Filmation designs. And yes, I had still images, but not in the original resolution! Not with the clapperboard! This is an entirely unexpected windfall and I'm downright gleeful. Buckle in, folks, I'm breaking it all down:

Castaspella

Ah, Castaspella. She started out with really vibrant colors actually, Justine Dantzer designed her with this whole psychedelic vibe. Her magic wheel was originally super bright, primary colors that imo would have served the toy really well. Instead of 'look at this cool hypno disk' it would be 'look at this cool rainbow hypno disk'. Kids love rainbows! I'm not biased at all!

Obviously the biggest difference aside from her color scheme is the wheel. They did have it in early Filmation passes, but like... it's a giant wheel. I imagine it's kind of a pain to animate.

Double Trouble

Double Trouble, too, had a bit of a color scheme journey. She began with magenta and red, then apparently moved into this violet-and-blue combo, before finally settling on green. And like, the first wave did need more green imo. If they'd stuck with the red for Catra and that lilac for Glimmer they could have had a whole rainbow. And like, gay bias aside, that would be lovely for collectors, or kids that like to arrange stuff by color.

Anyway they kind of stole prototype DT's color scheme for Filmation Glimmer, probably because of the aforementioned 'pop' blue brings against their standard backgrounds. And speaking of...

Glimmer

The guide who lights the way! Filmation pushed her hair much pinker than the toy's (although it's dyed purple in one episode), but otherwise yeah, that's pretty much just Double Trouble's proto-outfit, sans tulle. I should note that the leotards and so on are likely also a 'reduce the number of frames we have to draw' measure. Lou Scheimer had a very, very strict policy that She-Ra's underwear never be showed, which made a number of shots incredibly difficult to animate (the spin-kick towards the camera comes to mind). Honestly it's probably the reason for our She-Ra's shorts. But it's where things like leotards come in handy, because you can animate the action without working around modesty or fabric physics.

Catra

Catra's the biggest downgrade, in my opinion. Like I know, toys marketing being what it is, that they had to push pink. But the red looked so cool! And I know it's difficult to see in the video, but her mask used to have fur like in the prelims. That I think was more of a practical decision, since it's harder to slip a fur-lined mask over rooted hair than a smooth plastic one, but I'd kill to see some test shots with it.

We're not sure what that flocked red Battle Cat mold is--if it's an early Clawdeen/late Tinx, or a shapeshifted Catra. I'm inclined to think the former, both because the play pattern is 'this one toy can be two forms' and because they appear to have added a silver collar in place of Battle Cat's helmet. It seems to have been scrapped for her winged horse Storm, at least for this wave, which is kind of a shame. I think a red velvet Panthor would have had a lot of crossover appeal with the MOTU market (and just been awesome in general).

She-Ra

She-Ra is pretty far along conceptually on both sides of the equation. Naturally, she was the first to be designed--you can see where Mattel was leaning into a tulle and reflective sticker thing and Filmation was like "we reeeeeally want to give her a winged opera-viking-helm thing though". You can see the mask, instead of hard plastic, is like, shiny foil.

Bow

The top of Bow's cape, too--shiny foil. His bow was shaped more like a traditional longbow, and his quiver appears to have been hollow instead of a single cast piece. His outfit is actually the least changed, both in the toy's production and in developing it for Filmation. Like the only things different in the cartoon are that he doesn't have a breastplate covering his heart & abs, and that they gave him a mustache. They tried to do a full beard initially so like. Hey. Could have been hairier!

The figure on the left, under proto-Enchanta, seems to be proto-Kowl. How quickly Justine Dantzer's concept was lost. Koala, plus owl--it's not that complicated!

but Mattel wanted to make a little guy with butterfly wings instead. Explains some of the Filmation concept art, at least.

Angella

Angella was probably changed the most for Filmation. Like they kept the pink and the wing-influenced sigil on her chest (and the actual wings), but they added that blue--almost certainly for contrast--and turned her blonde. Meanwhile the toy just refined the chest design and switched from opaque white to a semi-transparent pink for the wings. 'Cause you know, toy marketing.

Frosta

Frosta, too, was relatively unchanged. Both companies opted for a lighter shade of blueon the hair, and Filmation replaced the reflective elements with white & the sheer with a different shade of blue, but other than that it was pretty much just the same process they applied with Catra's fabrics. Mattel went for texture, Filmation went for an easy-to-animate silhouette.

Other

I've talked about Justine Dantzer's original vision for the Crystal Castle even more than the U-Matics themselves at this point. She loves eagles, she was really excited about the beak elevator thing, it didn't test well & Mattel decided it was too edgy. Thus, the eventual pink situation.

Speaking of eventual pink sitatuations--did somebody say Swift Wind?

That blurry, indistinct horse shape is everyone's favorite equine, in the flesh. Guys, look! He's white! There's a blue ombre on his wings! Suddenly the dichotomy of Toy! and Filmation!Swifties seems less extreme, no?

That bird-thing on the left seems to be a proto-Enchanta, albeit very different from the final product (which was basically just a swan with a mane, not this sick ass dragon-influenced version).

The shields were just round shields, but they may have been placeholders to show off colors/materials, because we know Noreen Porter had refined She-Ra's at least by this point.

The video quality is too poor to say for certain who had a weapon and who had a comb at this point, but Catra's little item there looks significantly pointier than the comb she wound up with. Maybe a comb-ination with a knife? I for one think she should get a blade or two. As a treat. They didn't even give her a sword until wave 3, and that wasn't even her main weapon [side-eyes the Shower Squirter judgmentally]

Man I still can't believe this just turned up. Who would have thought that trying to get cleaner footage of the 1985 Duck Soup commercial could lead to this. Thank you bootleggers you are doing god's work (media preservation). If anybody wants some Rainbow Brite or the live action Japanese Spider-Man or something, I had a pretty great experience with these guys. Only complaint is that their list of included features should be way more specific. I took a gamble on finding some footage anyway & while it didn't turn up I'm far happier with this result. Also if an officially licensed version of any of their titles comes out they take it off the store, which is like, weirdly honorable? But good for them, tbh. Good for them.

I love how adorably you draw Xero. For me it is difficult to draw him so expressively, so how do you do it?

Waaaa thank u so much!!! Truly one of the best compliments I could ever receive :)

To be completely honest, I’ve been drawing Xero for like 2 years now or like a year and a half. Practicing has made me understand how I want to portray his character and the personality he has (or that I’ve given to him) in a way I don’t really acknowledge it, like, my hands know how to but my mind doesn’t- if that makes any sense lol

I still struggle to draw him from time to time, sometimes I feel like I do the same doodle lol. I guess exaggerating face features and moving them around is my way of doing it. Like I move his eyes a lot, every doodle of him has different eyes. I also add that little “brow” line on top to indicate the feeling better (just that one line can change the way he looks! which is impressive and a ur scary-) Playing around with poses too, even if you are just doing from the chest up twisting the body around helps, not just making him stiff in a straight line, certain poses can reflect someone’s personality! Like the way you stand is different from the way others stand (some out all their weight into just one leg, some have their hands crossed, etc etc) and that can show the way you act.

Sometimes I draw a little fang to show mischief for example! When his eyes are straight it means tiredness but when they are more tilted they look more angry, another example!

Im not a big expert on art and it’s hard for me to explain stuff to others but I hope this helps! We all start drawing something in a way you might not like, but slowly you get good at it! dw you’ll find your way!!

Ngl this made me look through my old doodles, so here’s how much I’ve grown to draw Xero!

These 2 doodle were done in November of 2022. The way I’ve drawn him has changed a lot actually- I hadn’t drawn him that much so these do feel a bit awkward- I hadn’t placed my art style on him yet, I was just using the in-game design.

Here are three others that I had done around 2023. I was getting more used to drawing him, tho I was still improving at drawing! The emotion I give him is expressed through his eyes cause he doesn’t really have a mouth lol- different shapes of eyes can help change what he’s feeling for me so yee.

And these are the last doodles I’ve done for him, literally drew these yesterday. I feel so comfortable drawing him now cause he’s just so funky and silky. His helmet is so hard to get use to drawing tho, I still find it a bit hard to draw his side view but hey I’m trying! (Also I tried redrawing the doodle of Xero on a throne-)

Tbh I’m really happy that you think he looks expressive!!! I always tell myself I gotta add more emotion to him and not letting him have an emotionless face, so I’ve been forcing myself to add more and more feeling slowly lol.

I don’t really know the exact way of adding more expression tho, kinda just guessing why it may look like that. Sometimes, I just do it. So, keep practicing! It’s what every artist tells other artists but it’s true, sadly lmfao.

Thank u again!! As the self-proclaimed #1 Xero hk fan (which lol probably I’m not but I love him to much so I like to think it as that-) I am thankful that you’ve acknowledged my incredible skills at drawing this silly fool.

#I hope this helped lol I’m so bad at explaining myself- #hollow knight #hk xero #art

Cas is a spectacular charichter

He was hurt and used up as a kid and now he’s constantly afraid he’s not enough he’s always pushing himself harder makeing his body better more perfect to try and master that fear than he meets gortash and suddenly he is enough for someone but he dosnt get to rest the fear changes shape

What if he stops being enough if he puts down his routine or acts difrent what if he slips rests sleeps looks away and gort is taken from him killed or wounded

And all that is confirmed in the fight with Mephistopheles he his fears come crashing down around him like the sea and he runs so that he dosnt drown

But what’s realy human and real about him is that DISPITE all that fear he dose go back he goes back to the man he loves cause even though he’s guilty and afraid love has changed fundamentaly weather or not he knows it

He is toxic and cruel and self centered but he’s slowly getting better Dispite himself

And he gets better enough to go back and I LOVE that cause he dosnt go back mysteriously a changed man he’s still morally bankrupt but he comes home to the man he loves AND SO HELP ME GOD he is the strongest he’s ever Ben doing that.

I see myself in his fear and his struggles and seeing him make the little conssesions for gortash the slow evolution of his relationship and the slow evolution of the little romantic touches and smiles between them gives me a weird kind of hope

I know it’s most likely not going to happen in canon but I can see a universe where after years of time cas feels like he can finaly stop and just rest for a second with his lover and not care if he’s enough

And it’s really beutiful that you’ve Ben able to make a story that’s simultaneously so sexy and also sad and hopefull and engaging

Also you have a great grasp on shape and body structure

Sorry about the Rant just thought I’d drop by and share some of my thoughts on why Cas is one of my comfort characters haha

Ps: are you comfortable with fanart? I’d realy like to draw them 😊

thank you so so much, I'm glad he speaks to you that much WAHH🥺🤲

but also exactly exactly... Cas is a character that's extremely definied by his insecurities and fears even if he himself could probably not even recognize a single one of them. ok NOT gonna derail and yap abt Cas this time but thank u so much for the long message, it's always insane to me to know people care about him and read all this stuff about him it means a lot 2 me😫💜

also yes I'm absolutely comfortable with fanart !! more than comfortable actually i might kiss u

i rlly like your art style and i wanted to ask how you imagine kyle and cartmans personalitys?? (+ any general headcanons you'd like to share)

i see a lot of variety in how kyman is characterized and im curious abt your take on it

tysm for saying u like my artstyle!!

here's a drawing i just did of them:

putting all the stuff below the cut cuz its LONG

now, personalities...

uh first i'll do how they act towards each other and then more general personality stuff after 👍

i feel like at first cartman would be like "holy shit i like fucking KYLE ewewew no way" but at one point he just goes ah fuck it and confesses to kyle. i feel like he'd be the type to show kyle off and would probably tell EVERYONE when they start dating lol. also you cannot tell me this man isnt the biggest flirt EVER. he loves flustering the hell outta kyle.

as for kyle, i feel like he'd be more reserved in a way. he leans more towards verbal affection than physical affection. like, cartman has him in a death grip of a hug and kyle just sorta, pats cartmans back awkwardly.

(also fun tidbit: when cartman first confessed to kyle, kyle laughed in his face and thought he was joking. cartman tears up, calls kyle an asshole, and runs away, which makes kyle have this sorta 'oh shit' moment and he runs after cartman, blah blah blah they kiss, they start dating, the end.)

as for general personalities...

with cartman, he's still an asshole ofc, just kinda toned down for obvious reasons. most of the time he acts like a mean fucking bastard, but the SECOND someone he cares about is in trouble he's all over that shit. also CATS. he loves cats. and raccoons. and animals in general. he just loves animals, ok.

i imagine kyle being more stoic around acquaintances and strangers and stuff, but with close friends he acts more laid back and jokes around a lot more. also he's SUPER protective of ike. i see some people make kyle bully ike, and like, NUH UH. i'm a good older brother kyle truther till the day i die.

now some random headcanons:

PINE CANON PINE CANON!! kyle is tall as shit u cant change my mind.

i dont rlly like to call my designs a 'teen au' cuz i make them 13-14. its more like a 'cringe ass middle schooler au'.

the broflovskis are fucking rich bcuz a) gerald is a lawyer and b) they bought kyle a GODDAMN ELEPHANT in one of the earlier episodes.

cartman has heterochromia bcuz i said so.

kyle has green eyes because i have green eyes and i want more characters with red hair and green eyes bcuz its pretty.

that it!! (for now teehee)

Not a request, but a question: just...what are your thoughts on Gwen? Like, what impressions do you get from her character? I'd be lying if I said she isn't my favourite B10 character, but I'd like to hear your thoughts. What you think of canon Gwen, which Gwen is the best iyo, if you want maybe some headcanons...

But only if you want to, of course. Thanks in advance!!

hey!!! to answer ur question i love gwen very dearly and shes one of my favorites!! shes probably the charatcer ive drawn the most bc i draw her all the time traditionally. Shes also the character ive done the most fanon stuff for as her drastic personality shifts between series kind of make it so u have to be fanon-ey lol. i kind of merge classic gwen's bitchiness pettiness and general childishness with uaf gwens maturity and (while not very present in the show) angst potential. as for what gwen i think is the best i still always love classic gwen bc i paticularly hate how they made gwen a mom character and also nullified a lot of her personality to make gwevin work. i just love girls that suck lol, but i do like uaf gwen for the anodite stuff, which plays into my super ultra fanon hcs and my 'gwen is trans' conspiracy, plus i like that her villians changed to reflect her struggles in a way in uaf, becoming less fun evil magic people and more cruel predators preying on her and the people she loves.

i dont really know how to condense my gwen fanon into single headcanons lol, i have a very complex narrative in my head about her.

-before the roadtrip one of her worst fears was transformation, she used to watch movies where someone would be transformed into something against their will and get really scared which she became more desensitized to bc of ben but which is also one of the reasons she is extremely distressed by her not being a real human. she has nightmares all the time of her stepping out of her skin and it being stolen from her so shed be stuck as an anodite forever

-she loves computery stuff and coding and the like, and when she went to college she majored in compsci. she lost this interest around uaf bc she was stressed due to the anodite thing and the DNaliens invading but she picked it back up around ov. shes likd of sad cooper was such a creep to her because she wanted to talk computers with him

-she doesnt like being alone in public so she always takes ben or kevin with her anywhere.

-shes very bad at making female friends because she has a tendency to hate most girls she knows for insignificant reasons or just the mere association of them and ben. shes only able to really become friends with girls who r either unrelated to ben or who shes forced to be around all the time. this is also why she hates all her girl cousins (shes kind of a mysoginist lol)

-shes very judgy and often very harsh in her judgements and not easy to trust, but she puts on an air of being trusting and nice so as to not appear hostile or mean. she did this with kevin and never really trusted him fully even when she was trying to get him to ask her out. she only really trusts grandpa max and ben in her life, then later kevin.

-her mom didnt allow her to have a lot of sugar as a kid because it made her irritable, but once she goes to college she contracts a crippling orange soda addiction

there ya go!! sorry soem of these r heavy i have a lot of gwen thoughts. here take a gwevin 4 the road
