Custom Gwen Funko Pop

I finished her! If you’re interested in more pictures, progress, the post continues below the cut off :)

I am probably the furthest thing from artistically talented as you can get, but I do have a frankly ridiculous amount of audacity so if you’re interested, this is how I did it!

I started by picking out a head and body from 2 different pops (they ended up being 2 different variations of Belle from beauty and the beast) and sketched out a design(s) to give me an idea to work from. (Ft my amazing ms Word graphic design skills on my tablet)

Looking back, the purple dress was the obvious choice because the apron design of the existing funko pop wouldn’t have needed any changing.

So I popped off their heads, sculpted the changes I wanted to make by cutting with a Stanley knife, sanding, and then used FIMO ovenbake Kids clay. Also, pops soften when heated so I dunked her in scalding water and kind of forced the arm that had been holding the mirror (which I also cut off) down so it wasn’t in front of her face.

Overall I used clay to hide where the apron had been, add flowers where the mirror had been, and also to fill a hole in the back where I pulled out the apron’s bow. And of course the bell sleeves, which I did about 7 times before I gave up and said it was good enough.

Then, I primed using an all-purpose primer, did about 4 coats and let it set for a week while I was away, and then I started painting!

*sighs* ah, painting. Bane of my existence.

I started with the hair and it worked so well. I thought ah this is gonna be a breeze

Well anyway I had a lot of trouble doing the face bc my paint would just NOT go on evenly but again I just did as many coats until it looked even and just said fuck it about the visible brush strokes bc idk how to fix that.

I had to try her eyebrows a couple of times to get them even, but I’m pretty happy with them! Also, I drew in her eyelashes with a pen.

Next, the dress. Nothing worked. I think I didn’t thin my paint enough so it was just a struggle, there are heaps of visible paint strokes but again, I figured there wasn’t much I could do about it

I used a toothpick to scrape on some details which are VERY messy, especially in the front, but I honestly don’t know how I would have fixed it but that point, and since she’s going to be on a bookshelf, you won’t see it anyway. Also I used a sharpie to do the flowers haha.

I really do like the back.

There was a bit of ad lib with the details because I wanted them to be noticeable so I added them in a few places they’re not in canon

Anyway, then I sprayed her with some matte acrylic sealing spray, glued her back together, and she’s done! Her head does tilt back a bit because the 2 pops had different joint systems but you can barely tell.

She’s definitely not perfect, but this was a first for me in so many aspects so I’m pretty proud of her!

As a "fun" design exercise I decided to mess with the Hazbin characters' designs... Not really "redesigns," but more so "refined-designs"-- Keeping their overall look or "essence" while trying to simplify them and clean up their colour palettes, as well as making sure they all look distinct from one another.

I tried to stick close to the original's style but I couldn't help using thick lines, lol. Along with the simplified shapes, it gives them an early 2000s cartoon vibe I think.

For the colours I tried giving them more unique palettes, as well as making sure that they had enough contrast (the colour value of this show tends to be... not great). Also the lineup at the bottom isn't my final selection, it's just a selection to get a better idea of how they all might look together side-by-side.

Eh, tell me what you think. I could keep editing these but like, I'm tired of looking at them lol. More info on each design (plus a speedpaint) under the cut. It gets wordy, sorry.

Charlie: Not much to say besides she needs more contrast in her colours. I changed her shirt to the same colour as her corneas (yellow) so it doesn't blend in with her skin. I wish her eyes were still black (not only does it bring better attention to her face, but it works better with the idea that she's a doll-- yknow, painted on eyes? Does that make sense lol). In retrospect, maybe it would've been good to try some browns with her colours? Idk. I kept her red since she's the princess of Hell, and Hell's main colour seems to be red. Oh also, I gave her some lines on her face and hands just to make her look more like a puppet/doll. The rest of her body would have the same kind of joints/segments.

Vaggie: Ok I know her hair technically looks more moth-like in her og redesign but... it just seems like too much? Yknow? It's kind of outrageous. Idk how well my solution works but I tried simplifying it. I simplified her bow as well and made her stockings more like leggings. Her X-eye now hides behind her hair. Her gloves are shorter. Also I took away that thing around her waist that.... seems to be a different colour than everything else??? Idk what's up with that. Sorry I took away her feet. I tried out some blue and purple with her, I think it looks nice. Only thought about keeping the red bow because I thought maybe it'll match her with Charlie. Also sorry I took away her boobs 💀💀💀

Angel Dust: So unsure about how I drew him... Specifically, his 2nd set of arms looks so floppy and tacked on, and his legs... Idk I'm not great at digitigrade legs but I'm pretty sure that's officially what kind of legs he has. His head is weird. I think I got the idea of giving him big feet from Meppity's redesign video (her redesigns are some of my faves). I took away his bowtie because... too many of these guys have bowties, and he already has a choker too. Also I had the funny idea of all the Hotel employees wearing bowties/bows of some sort, and Angel is a patron but not an employee... Anyway. Kept his gold tooth to link him to Val (who also has a gold tooth), and kept the dots under his eyes since I THINK they're supposed to be representative of his spider eyes? They can be taken away if need be, though. His gloves don't go all the way up and kind of look like dish-washing gloves again but, the way his gloves go all the way up and his sleeves go into them... it just looks so weird to me. Idk, maybe I should've just given him shorter sleeves, or even no sleeves at all 🤔 And honestly I still have no idea what's going on with his pants. Are they short-shorts? Underwear? Didn't change them anyway. For the colours, I made sure all his gloves were the same colour (still don't know WHY they decided to make his 2nd set not only a different colour, but the SAME colour as his skin/fur????). Turned down the saturation on his hot-pink, and gave his right eye the light pink instead of that almost-black colour (still kept his eyes different colours because I remember seeing a really old sketch page of Angel that insinuated that there was a reason for his eye being black). Made some of the darker parts straight-black just because I've been using that in all the other character's palettes, but this can be changed to his almost-black colour. Also tried a more purple palette to get away from all the pink, kinda really like it.

Alastor: I originally tried his coat with coattails, but wasn't sure about it and made it the original shape. Took away his monocle because fuck that it's unnecessary and clutters his face. Made his antlers bigger. Swapped out his shirt collar to be like the one Charlie's og redesign has, because the way it goes all the way up like that gets on my nerves? Idk maybe I just don't know anything about fashion design but it doesn't scream 30's-suit to me. You could probably take away the collar, though. I wanted to try a lot of darker colours for his palette since he's like... kinda the bad guy. Dark colours would work well for him. I'm worried about his arms getting lost in the black of his coat, but that's why his cuffs and hands are a different colour. Really wanted to give him more than just red so I spread out the yellow of his teeth; I like how it looks for his shirt, it also works well with his eyes to draw you towards his face. I also tried to (again) lessen the saturation of his reds and pushed them more towards orange to better match the yellow. Kept all the brighter colours to his upper body to keep your eyes there, too.

Husk: I think Husk was one of my least favorite designs when the pilot came out because he's a real mess of detail. His wings are the worst. His redesign isn't much better (like dawg why's he got these random-ass hearts everywhere). Simplified his wings to just have some circles and rounded shapes. Kept some heart shapes (like his nose, bowtie, and paws) but added a couple diamond shapes, too (mainly his suspender buttons and the shape of his white chest-fur). Really wanted to have more blatant club and spade shapes too (to add to the poker theme), but didn't want it to get crowed and decided the rest of the rounded and heart shapes worked well enough. Made his eyebrows shorter and more square-shaped. Didn't have many ideas for colours but knew that I wanted to try some oranges and yellows. Made his eyebrows a darker colour, and changed his eyes to yellow corneas with black pupils. Stands out more that way, I think.

Niffty: Did you know her name is spelled with two Fs? I didn't. I don't like it... Anywayyyy. Swirled her hair a little more, and took the yellow streak out. Added some fluff under her dress just to match her apron. Kept the dots on her shirt (though there are only two now instead of three) because I'm assuming it'll make sense later (like idk maybe she was shot to death and that's what they represent), but I wonder if you can take those away for a cleaner design? Gave her more rounded shapes. I said before that all the Hotel employees would have bows/bowties of some sort for these designs: Niffty's would be her handkerchief (yknow, it's tied into a bow in the back? That works right...? Eh.) I took away her cheekmarks 1) to clear up her face and 2) to make Charlie's cheek marks seem more unique and doll-like. For Niffty's colours, I (again) turned down the saturation on her pink. I wanted to try using some green and purple on her, since her inspirations include B-movie aliens and the song One-Eyed, One-Horned, Flying Purple People Eater. Tried using different colours for her skin, since a lot of characters in Hazbin have white skin, and for Niffty specifically I think the white skin along with her white apron dries-out her look (if that makes sense?) Though I do agree her having yellow skin is NOT good if she really does end up being Japanese. I think pink skin works well for her, though. Oh! And again, it helps make Charlie's design more unique with her white skin, making her seem more porcelain. I made Niffty's eyes yellow like her teeth, and then used the same colour for her apron to unify the palette.

Cherri: Ok Cherri's design was my ABSOLUTE least favorite from the pilot, too many senseless details I HATE her ripped pants. So hard to look at. Idk if you noticed in the time lapse but I had to re-sketch Cherri because 1) her pose was too similar to Niffty's (I was making their poses similar to their official art) and 2) her hair was giving me trouble... I kinda hate how her hair hovers to the side like that? Tried re-shaping her hair and now it looks like she uses a TON of hairspray or something, lol. Took away her tattoo but kept her freckles. Took away the skirt thing(?) she's got on her pants. Took the symbol off her shirt, but added an X to her pants (can be taken away, though). Simplified the rips on her pants to just be ripped knees. put a heel on her left shoe so she doesn't look unbalanced/uncomfortable. Made her gloves shorter. For colours, I again took away her white skin for the same reason I took away Niffty's white skin (less "dried out" palette and makes Charlie look more unique/porcelain). Afaik Cherri's not Asian so yellow skin could work for her, though I also tried green skin. Since one of her themes is cherries I wanted to use reds, pinks, greens, and blacks. I tried some green for her clothes (and again her skin), and also turned some of her pinks more red. Made her hair darker for more contrast, and tried using some red for her hair instead of pink (I like the pink hair, but again... red like cherries). In general her colour palette was the hardest to figure out but I think I found some interesting things.

Sir Pentious: Sir Pent was my 2nd least-favorite pilot design by only a little 🤏. It's all his eyes. He's very hard to look at. I took away all the eyes on his tail, and turned down the saturation on the rest of the eyes EXCEPT the ones on his face (maybe I should have just made those reds much different colours, but it still looks a lot better with just the saturation down). Took away his stupid-ass goggles and made the face on his hat a lot simpler (combined the mouth with the hat band; it can still emote btw). Replaced his bowtie with... *quick google search* A jabot? It's supposed to be a jabot I think. I think that's what it's called. More 1700s than 1800s, but eh. Maybe I should've given him *quick google search* a cravat maybe??? Eh, eh, not a fashion expert but anyway. I thickened his mid-section so it eases into his tail better because, the way it is in the official design it always made him look like a slug to me? I looks too... squishy. Banana-slug-lookin' ass Also took away his red-tipped claws and made them straight black. For his colours, I think the grey and yellow works for him already, though I do wanna see how he'd look with more green or blue. Most of what I did colour-wise was the eyes, but also his suit; still grey, but trying both darker colours and pushing it more towards blue and purple. I wonder if I made his skin a little too dark? Is it kinda hard to see his features? Idk. Idk how I feel about these colours. Bleh.

*Long rant warning* I know it’s been repeated to death this season, but I am so pissed at production this season. This was truly a top tier cast imo (based on entertainment/messiness), and I can attribute all of my frustrations to production.

Ive hated how they edited the show this year (I’ve been pretty vocal about being salty about the Americory edit obviously, but they also barely showed Izzy and painted Cameron as a hero; I really don’t think non-live feeders have a great understanding of the characters on the show)

The Zombie twist is quite literally the worst twist of all time. The invisible HOH was a flop and they still let Jag compete AND win the following HOH. Honestly besides Path to Power (which in hindsight, I kind of wish didn’t happen, but I was pretty stoked with it at the time), every game twist has been awful

The comps have been incredibly similar and have favored male competitors. (I mean COME ON, they used the SAME veto comp for both double evictions)

And overall just very questionable decisions. Why wasn’t Jared removed after saying the r word? Why were they protecting Cameron SO MUCH on the live feeds? It got to a point where if a contestant mentioned Cameron’s name, they would automatically switch the feeds! Like that doesn’t make him look better — I’m just even more suspicious of him! Why would they cut America’s “I love you” in her goodbye message (especially since she said it *before* they had said it to each other — if Cory had heard that for the first time on live TV, that would have been such good TV!)? I feel like there were just a lot of decisions that kind gave a slap in the face to super fans/live feeders. They’re trying to hide things that CLEARLY we are able to figure out.

For the past couple of seasons, I’ve been pretty firm in thinking that they come up with things ahead of time to avoiding rigging the competition and at the end of the day, they just care about making good television and don’t have “favorites.” It’s very well that I’m biased this year because my favorites are America and Cory, but my god, I feel like this season just had so much blatant favoritism from the start, specifically towards Cameron and Matt (I think Jared was in there to begin with, but I do think they turned when they started to see the writing on the wall)

Idk rant over. I’ve really enjoyed watching this season (despite the rather bleak ending that is possibly coming), but I don’t think I could ever recommend it to people because I don’t think the episodes/show does it justice and I think that the producer decisions post-jury have ruined the endgame.

Okay here we go.

Reviewing all old paintings of Alcibiades I can find, part 1

Starting off with the classics. THIS HELMET, I HATE IT I HATE IT. What is it supposed to be?? He's wearing it like one would wear a Corinthian helmet in rest (pushed back on the head rather than down over the face) or at least from the shape of the metal part I would assume it's a corinthian helmet, but all the golden thingies on its front?? Are you meant to be blind when wearing this thing in battle? New technique?? And anyways why is he even wearing it. And one last thing about the helmet which you'll see is a reccuring theme: why does it have feathers. Unless i am forgetting something, fancy helmet crests were made from horse hair.

Moving on from the helmet, i have to say that even though I don't agree with it, his color choice for the outfit is....brave. green with pink. It works I guess, because he looks so confident in it. The sash tied around his middle is kinda whatever but the way he's holding his clamys???? I'm swooning. Very good hand.

Socrates' color choices are also quite bold today. Were they going to a fashion show? Is he advertising IKEA? Who knows. His skin is vet nicely painted though, I like it a lot.

Now of course we need to mention the angel behind Socrates who has a bit of fire on their hair. Is that the holy spirit? Is this some criminal anachronism??!! The angel seems to be judging Alcibiades' "sinuous" pose (i learned a new word yesterday and I feel like I'm using it wrong but I wanted to use it okay. "Sinuous". Idk. Sinuses.)

Moving on to something different. Alcibiades and Pericles! How cute is that, they're bonding like family. Or they're discussing the grocery list. I like Alcibiades' chiton and his hair and how his hand is casually draped over a helmet. Speaking of helmets, look how nice and accurate these are. No feathers anywhere. Also Pericles is wearing his helmet to hide his weird alien head presumably, so this is very legal and we won't execute the artist for drawing Pericles with a naked head.

Here's one of many depictions of Alcibiades' death. The anatomy is good, I very much enjoy that. I also really really like his face. Dark haired Alcibiades works better in paintings imo. His pose is kinda wayy too dramatic, that or he slipped on some lube i mean olive oil on his way out. Anyways he's not doing a very good job defending himself. The lady is trying, I'll give her that, but she's not doing enough. The attacker guy is.... wearing pants, but his top isn't very Persian so that's off-putting.

And of course we can see the javelin sticking out of Alcibiades' side but in my professional opinion, if he was lucky he could survive that wound if it didn't pierce any major organs. He just needed some bed rest and he'd be good to go. Alas, he died. But yeah overall I like this one a lot.

Okay so this one I'm 99% sure it's Alcibiades, if I'm wrong let me know. The dark figure on the left is definitely Socrates, I would recognize him anywhere. I really like this even though Alcibiades looks like his twelve, because he's sitting on some lady's lap, surrounded by other ladies, as he's having his actual lesson with Socrates. Like he's taking notes and everything gfhdgsj he's raising his hand he has a question let him speak.

Also how cute is his hair?? Someone give this child some ice cream.

Here we have no Socrates, which is quite rare. BUT we once again have a very stupid helmet that makes zero sense. And a vey stupid sash that also makes zero sense. But at least we have some drama, like, what's going on here? Is she refusing him??? Is she offended?? Who knows. Anyways very cool fabric rendering but why is Alcibiades so.... barrel-chested. It's kinda scary. Also who's that snitch back there. Does she wanna join.

Overall, I like the colors and the environment here, and the poses are fun. Alcibiades looks like he's reciting poetry but he's so drunk the only thing he remembers is the ship list from the iliad, so that's what he's reciting, and his girlfriend is having a hard time enduring this torture.

Old painters really like putting helmets on head that didn't need them. Like they're IN A BEDROOM why is he in full tactical gear.

This one is one of the weirder ones. I don't know why the vibes are just weird. Socrates is holding his oscar. What did he get an oscar for. I like his outfit it's like he's wearing a shower curtain or a beach towel. Alcibiades on the other hand is straight up naked. Like, that's the level of confidence and comfortableness we should all aspire towards. But I don't like his face, they didn't even try to make him pretty.

Not to mention that Socrates fell into a tub of bleach apparently. Blonde Socrates is even more illegal that unhelmeted Pericles. Maybe that's why i find this piece so strange. This isn't Socrates, this is santa claus.

I do however think the pose is very Alcibiades-like. He would absolutely look at Socrates like that.

Last one for part 1, we have this one! The classic, beloved theme of Socrates taking Alcibiades away from his girlfriends. "Why don't you go play with the boys, Alcibiades? " said Socrates.

No wait wrong story.

Anyways i like this because it has some davinci-ness to the colors and faces and Alcibiades' hair is cute and the girl in white is really trying her hardest to pull him back.

I also like that gigantic column in the back, suggesting that these maniacs were planning on having an orgy right at a temple. They even brought a whole bed over there.

Last thing i like about this one is the way Socrates isn't even really holding onto him. Alcibiades has this haunted/far away look and Socrates can make him follow him just by touching his arm, rather than pulling on him like the girl is. That's because Socrates was half siren, his father had actu

(SPOILERS FOR THE DBZ SUPER HERO MOVIE) I left some space if you haven't seen the movie, if you have, don't mind this extra space:

Hey! Idk is this is been done (you can combine requests if need be) could you do a Gohan x Baby Reader (just like your other ones) where it's Halloween and Gohan accidentally releases his beast form, but the appearance of the beast form scares his sweet pea (the reader)? Idm I just thought I'd be adorable

Gohan x Baby. Reader [Halloween Special]

I wasn't planning on doing any Halloween one-shots, but oh well xD

Want more from me? Masterlist 2

☆*: .｡. .｡.:*☆☆*: .｡. .｡.:*☆

Cookies and Beasts (DBS)

Warning: Fluff, You making Vegeta soft

Halloween is strange...

✨✨✨✨✨✨

“Hey, you, calm down,” Gohan chuckled, tickling at your side.

At the moment, you were looking at his friends in confusion.

Piccolo and 18 were the only ones who looked normal.

The one your papa addresses as Krillin had painted his face and wore a weird outfit.

Auntie Bulma (she insists to be called) had wild hair and an even wilder outfit, her eyes were different colors, too.

Uncle Vegeta (Bulma insisted simply to annoy him) was forced to wear a beard, hat, and a dress-like thing. Papa said he was a wizard, whatever that was. Vegeta would hit people randomly with a big stick he carried.

Then Trunks and uncle Goten had strange teeth and even stranger clothes.

All the confusion caused your power-level to spike.

“Isn’t this [Name]’s first Halloween?” Auntie Bulma offered a cookie, which you gladly took.

“Yeah, I don’t think they've gotten over the costumes, yet,” he bounced his leg a little to calm you.

“Well, [Name]’s is definitely the cutest!”

You were dressed as a pumpkin, the puffy costume hiding you, the pumpkin top resting on your head.

“Videl picked it out.”

“I guess that’s why you’re dressed as a farmer? Where is Videl, anyway?”

“She wasn’t feeling well, but told us to go ahead.

Your eyes trailed to your sister, who was dressed similar to how Paw Goku dressed, things Papa called fake knives were in her hands as she made weird movements.

“Hey, Gohan. I found this weird device, I can’t seem to figure out what it does, could you take a look at it?”

“Huh? Sure.”

“Great! I’ll bring it out,” she walks off.

You offer your cookie to your father, tilting your head back until he looks down.

“You’re giving me some?”

“Yes,” you give him a small smile.

“Thank you, sweet pea.”

“Oo Welca,” you watch as he takes a bite, a little irked he takes more than you expected.

“You mean, ‘You're Welcome’? Don’t worry, you’ll get the hang of it.”

You decide to leave, so he doesn’t practically devour your cookie with another bite.

You wobble up to Vegeta, making him turn, “Oh, it’s you. The finger crusher.”

You ignore his glare, not finding it intimidating in the least, even more so with his costume.

“Hi!” you smile.

“What is it you want?”

You grasp the dress-like costume finding you like the simple material.

“Soft. Dwess?”

“What, no. It is not a dress!”

You tilt your head.

“It’s a robe.”

“Bobe?” the ‘r’ was hard to pronounce.

“Yes, not a dress,” he scowled.

You move on to the big stick, “Stick?”

“Staff,” he corrected.

“Taff?”

“Yes.”

You offer your cookie, “Wan?”

“No, thank you.”

You take the last bite, “Cookie good.”

“Is it now, would you like another?” he points back to a tray full of cookies on a decorated table.

You nod, grabbing at the air until he picks you up (after being sure no one was looking to laugh for weeks about it), you quickly grab a cookie (he doesn’t say anything when you sneak another).

“Dank you, Geta!”

“Yeah, yeah. Move along now.”

“Bye!”

You notice Paw Goku arriving with Mam Chi-Chi.

You giggle, dashing over to them as fast as your short legs would allow.

“Our little [Name]! You look so cute!” Chi-Chi titters picking you up.

You give her a kiss, which makes her notice the cookie crumbs and two uneaten cookies.

“How many cookies have you eaten? Have you eaten any food yet?”

You lift the cookies, “Yes.”

“That’s not food! Gohan should let you…” then you tune her out, you always do when she goes into her rambles.

“What cookies you got there?”

“Paw Goku, cookies!”

“I see. Can I try one?”

You get transferred over to him as Mam Chi-Chi looks for Papa.

“Yes,” he offer him one while eating the other.

“Yum! They are pretty good, huh?”

You brush a pinky against his green face, “Why?”

“It’s paint! I’m a Frankenstein!”

“Flank—hm,” you decided it was too hard to say.

“Mwahaha,” he tickles your neck making you giggle with a death grip on your cookie.

“Paw Goku, staph—” you screeched in laughter.

“Let’s go find, Gohan, hm?”

You sit on his shoulders as you look for your father, when you do, he seems to looked annoyed as Mam Chi- Chi chews into him.

“Mom, I know what to do with [Name].”

“But…” she rants some more.

“I’ll come back later,” Bulma looks in between them.

Gohan sighs, “No, you asked for my help. Let me see.”

“Gohan!” Mam Chi-Chi scolds.

He observes the device before turning it on, it didn’t do anything.

She reached for the device, “Don’t ignore your mother!”

Suddenly Papa’s power-level spiked and he transformed.

The power startled you, never having seen or felt anything like that before.

He growled, in irritation, “Stop telling me how to parent my child. If I want help, I’ll ask, mom.”

You cry at the scene, never seeing your Papa so upset.

“I see, it’s an emotion amplifier,” Auntie Bulma observed.

Gohan frowned at your crying, his expression dropping more when you nervously grip Paw Goku’s hair.

“Sweet Pea, it’s me,” he powered down, “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you…”

You quieted, sniffing before you climbed down your grandfather, wobbling to your Pa to hug his legs.

“Hm, let’s go play some of the games, okay? Will that cheer you up?”

You nod.

[paintedpeeta]

okay so I commiserated the other day because I couldn't think of anything to ask for in terms of headcanons, but I've thought of things so I'm back!

what do you think are the little things the other says or does after the "real" moment when they're secure in their relationship that completely floors them every time and makes them think "oh wow I really love this person and I'm so lucky"

ahh seeing this in my inbox just made me so happy you have no idea :)

for a start i think they’d both be big on acts of service. it’s shown a bit in canon, like him bringing her cheesebuns because he knows they’re her favorite and y’know. her nursing him back from the brink of death in the first games.

i can imagine him doing little things like heating up her socks and pyjamas at the hearth before she puts them on, having a bath drawn for her when she gets home from the woods, and of course cooking/baking for her. in short, he does things that just make her feel a little bit pampered and spoiled. she’s never really had someone take care of her like that, and at first it’s hard for her to indulge and allow herself to enjoy these small luxuries, but she eventually comes around and lets it happen (because there’s no stopping him anyway).

on the other hand, her acts are a little more pragmatic but no less loving. she cuts his hair for him (though she loves his curls she concurs that it would be annoying to have them falling into his face all day at the bakery), makes sure that he takes all of his medication and takes care of his leg, and occasionally takes his lunch to the bakery for him. i also, rather self indulgently, like to imagine that she takes up embroidery and knitting after the war because hear me out… it’s such a practical thing to do!! like, being able to mend and make their own clothes? idk i just think katniss would be all over that. knitting him something warm in the winter, fixing/patching holes in his work pants, leaving a teeny tiny embroidered K on his shirtsleeve as a reminder.. just let me have it okay.

but sometimes the situation flips and she brings him flowers from the woods, and in return he’ll paint them for her. he’ll rub burn cream on her scars at night, and then she’ll scratch his back or scalp until he falls asleep.

she’s not the best with words, but she’d figure out early how important it is for him to hear that he’s loved because he didn’t get that affirmation much as a child and so she makes sure to tell him as best as she can. at the beginning she always gets flustered and embarrassed, sometimes hiding her face away into his chest or his neck so she can say it in (somewhat) privacy but he loves it all the same.

and i know that the subject of pet names/nicknames is kind of contentious and i’ve for sure spoken about my own personal headcanons about that before, but i can imagine him taking to calling her his girl (and later, his wife) and her secretly liking it. because she’s a softy at heart. and i think if she were to ever use a pet name for him, or to call him her husband, he’d probably need picked up off of the floor.

moving on from the intentional things that they do that melts the other, i’m thinking of all the sweet little moments of realisation that they both must have that this is their life now, and this is their person 🥺

like, can you just imagine how floored peeta would be to have katniss wanting to share his bed again? she’s a little too shy to ask at first, and so in her usual blunt katniss way she just starts to show up to his room to lay down beside him.

or how apprehensive katniss would be because she knows that she loves him now and that makes it all too real and fragile - but she can’t help but adore the way he looks at her, and the way he pulls her legs up onto his lap when they sit on the couch together, and how he starts to refer to the house as theirs…

i just think there must be so many moments where they each have that little thought that they’ve been so lucky to have the chance to grow back, to eventually raise a family and grow old together when so many people they loved didn’t get that chance 🥲. it doesn’t even always come as a direct result of the other’s actions or words, sometimes it just hits out of nowhere and all they want to do is squeeze the other and let them know how grateful they are/how much they love them.

#everlark headcanons #ur honor i love them #asks #it’s been a while so this might be a little muddled up but this felt so nice #thank u for the request 🌟🌟🌟

Obey Me Babes When You Paint Your Nails to Match Theirs

Originally written June 2022

Literally writing this because this is what I do. As a transmasc person who really likes to paint their nails, it makes me feel more comfortable to match the obey me babes lol. I’m sad Simeon, Solomon, and Raphael don’t have painted nails (unless it’s a like… demon culture thing??? Idk. Also Barbatos’ shade of purple is fuckin’ whack I can’t seem to find any that are almost exact like I did with Luci, Asmo, Dia, and Belphie.) I don’t think we’ve seen Mephisto’s nails so he isn’t in this. Thirteen is though!

Lucifer💙

his chest is swelled with so much pride

(It doesn’t even matter if you didn’t do it to match him. He won’t listen lmao)

Finds himself taking off his gloves more often so he can show everyone else who you chose to match nail polish with

very smug about it.

Mammon💛

“Wh—? H-Hey! Stupid human, why did you choose to use that particular nail polish?”

“To… m-match me? W-Well! Of course you’d wanna match the Great Mammon!”

Won’t stop being flustered. His face is hot every time he sees your nails.

Boasts about it when his siblings are being combative lmao

Leviathan🧡

“Wh-Why would you w-w-w-want to match with a yucky otaku like me!?”

Another grim in the “self deprecating comment” jar

It makes him happy and nervous and he doesn’t know how to properly react

Loves looking at your hands and his own while you game and feels all warm inside

Satan💚

flattered tbh

blushies

It probably takes so much restraint to not shove it in Lucifer’s face dhsodhdk

I’m sure he already liked holding your hands but it’ll probably happen more often now lol

Asmodeus💘

SQUEALS

it makes him so happy

asks if you’d want to touch them up with him next time

Hand holding hand holding hand holding hand holding hand holding hand hol

kisses your knuckles and hands more often lmao

“You’re so beautiful, _____.”

Beelzebub❤️

doesn’t notice lmao

So unless you tell him literally nothing happens

He thinks it’s cute but he’s not the best at expressing himself so he seems indifferent

smiles and tries to convey he’s happy you wanted to match him

Belphegor💜

pretends he doesn’t give a shit but it makes his heart feel like it’ll explode

If he doesn’t already, wants to hold your hands more when he naps

Lord Diavolo❣️

FUCKIN DELIGHTED

does his cute hardy laugh shsodhdodhd

pulls you to Barbatos to show him

gives you so much attention

Probably will not shut up about it for a week

Barbatos🖤

B L U S H

“I’m flattered. I don’t understand why you would want to match with me.”

Barbatos probably needs a “self deprecating comment” jar too

he usually wears gloves while working, but when he’s able to spend time with you… he likes to take them off and hold your hands so he can remind himself it’s real

won’t stop thinking about the gesture because even if it’s small it means a lot to him

Thirteen❤️‍🩹

smiles but tries to hide it

she thinks it’s cute but probably doesn’t change her behavior too much

Might invite you to come touch them up with her later though

(I’m sorry she has less screentime than Mephisto and Raphael so this isn’t very good aaaaa)

#lucifer #mammon #leviathan #levi #satan #asmodeus #asmo #beelzebub #beel #belphegor #belphie #lord diavolo #diavolo #barbatos #thirteen #obey me! one master to rule them all #obey me! shall we date? #obey me! #omomtrta #omswd #om #headcanons #iwannawritelots

[libbys-braincell-loss]

I said i would do it before, but since tonights opening night, heres a list of funny things my cast and crew do for the show Puffs that i find really endearing and awesome :))

!!spoilers ahead!!

Act 1

Most if the time, when the Narrator (me) is not onstage, i sit in a little nook on either side of the stage, where i read books, play with a badger plush or my pet pygmy puff (also a plush), write things down, etc. I like to hc that the nook is in the Room of Requirement :) also dw i do get moments where i go backstage and take a break

Wayne wears a jersey with a W on it at the start of the play, it becomes important later

Leanne wears a colorful tutu!

Oliver has a pair of gold glasses

Oliver is from Baltimore, much to his discontent

Snape is played by the same guy who does Ernie Mac, J finch is played by the same guy who does Uncle Dave, and Hannah is played by the same person who does Voldy. Its real funny watching them switch characters

The sorting hat is big fortune teller. I think that was used for a version of the show somewhere else but its so goddamn funny

The training wand Professor McG gives to Oliver is one of those colorful toy wands with glitter and fluid inside that makes it all sparkly

For Professor Turban, he has those red finger lights as Voldy on the back of his turban. One rehearsal they fell on the floor and broke it was really funny

The sorcerers stone that Megan throws to the narrator is just a rock the director found outside. Its really heavy, our stage manager is supposed to paint it red (idk we found the rock yesterday. The rock we usually use fell on the stage and shattered so yeah cant use that anymore rip)

Wayne does a silly robot dance when he mentions Robocop right before meeting Ginny

Ginny is played by our student assistant director, who is a redhead. It couldnt be any other way man she had to be Ginny

Wayne is really tall. Oliver and Megan are around the same size but Wayne towers over them threateningly

When Harry and Ron Mop have a fight and Oliver tries to calm Ron Mop down, at the end Oliver yells at him "How come you get to kiss Emma Watson?!"

Real Mr. Moody has a flask for his potion, like in the series

Cedric wears heart pattern boxers during the bathroom scene. He used to be shirtless but we decided to give him a tanktop cuz it was very weird

The bathroom has a sweet lil ballet segment and we get huge bubble wands!

During the lake watching scene, J Finch falls asleep and starts snoring

Also during that same scene, Leanne panics about the lake and hides her head, then peeks her head out and says "is it gone?"

Viktor is capable of breakdancing!! They do an epic breakdance after the second task!

Each character in the three wizard tournament has a theme song - Frenchy has a french accordian song, Viktor has epic breakdancing music, Cedric has an epic rock and roll guitar riff, and Harry has a silly ukelele song that sounds like a Kevin Macleod song

Cedric and Waynes interaction right before the third task is so wholesome yet heartbreaking

Right before the intermission, i cast a spell to close the curtain

Act 2

Wayne finding out Cedric is dead is the most heartbreaking thing ive ever witnessed. The actor playing him is real silly dude but he got the emotions spot on and i applaud him for it

Ernie and Hannahs sign for "no being too sad" is not all that heavy, but the two actors play it like its the heaviest thing in the planet

J Finch's fav jellybean flavor changes every night. Some of my personal favs of things he has said: "Thermal paste", "plastic", "jellybean flavor", "oh man i forgot what it was, it was really good tho"

When Ernie Mac is fake bullying Hannah so she knows the difference, Ernie says "your face looks like he-whose-name-we-cannot-legally-say" which is funny for 2 reasons: 1, Hannah and Voldy share an actor, and 2, we cant say Voldemort cuz copyright

When J Finch starts "going to the petrified place" after Wayne yells at him, Ernie Mac punches J Finch and yells at him that he cant be too sad

Every single time during the Oliver and Megan kiss scene, Oliver gets Megan's dark lipstick on his face. It is hilarious

When I throw the year 5 book (which is really heavy) to the stage manager, she has decided she would make a new reaction every night. Examples: "hey! Big books hurt!" "You throw like a Puff, AND I MEAN THAT NEGATIVELY!" "The actors are attacking!! Run, stage crew! Run! *slams the door behind them*"

Voldy has a green swim cap and tape on his nose.

When Voldy is giving one of his death buddies a show of affection, midway through he says "i hope you're loving this as much as i am", to which the poor death buddy responds "i hate it 😥"

Oliver and Megan are holding hands while Wayne is asking about grades. Wayne gets sick of it and forces himself between them, breaking their holding hands

Zac Smith is hilarious. Hes played by the same guy who did Cedric before he died in act 1. Zac Smith has so many stupid stories, like one about how he ate a magic muffin, turned into a muffin, and watched his friend who also got turned into a muffin get eaten. Another one is how he watched a magic VHS of the movie Shrek, and the donkey appeared in his home, and he was so annoying that Zac cooked him, and every day he waits for the dragon to come kill him. Most recent one was when he watched a magic VHS of a Midsummer Nights Dream, and had his head turned into a donkey, and was jealous that the donkey man is getting more bitches than him, so Zac decides he'll make his own movie - Zac Smith: the Hot Donkey. I always break character during that scene istg

The actor for Xavia is fantastic. She got that evil dumb mom vibe we needed

Right when Wayne sees Sally Perks leaning in for the kiss, Wayne quickly puts on chapstick and pops his lips. Why, i have no idea but its funny

Megan being torn about whether she should kill her friends or miss this opportunity to be with her mom is absolutely heartbreaking it is so sad :(

During the flashback to when Xavia got recruited, Voldy does the worm and Xavia aggressively flips her hair all over the place.

Voldy canonically does a Jack Sparrow run

Apparently Wayne dances during the flashback scene?? I had never noticed that i need to see that tonight lmao

Xavia struggling to open the doors is so fun. When she gives up she runs into the house, still yelling that she'll be back. Its so golden

The Headmaster falls into the pit for his death. The actor just lays in the pit for the rest of the show until the final important headmaster moment

I have never cried inside harder to a story of how Oliver turned his parents heads into oranges. The scene is so good and emotional :((

Bippy is peak comedy. Bippy is love. Bippy is life. Bippy sprints to the back of the auditorium and its the funniest shit ever

Voldy does amazing crowdwork ngl. He be asking what the difference between witches and wizards are, what the deal with British food is, and what is the purpose of boy bands (they make him want to run the other direction), it gets to the point where the Assistant Director has to take his megaphone away

All the deaths are so sad. I dont really see them all cuz im offstage during the war but when i do catch them its so sad

When Oliver returns hes wearing his scarf like a bandana. You go Karate Kid

Sally drops her glasses before her death. She funbles on the ground trying to find them

When J Finch dies, Ernie cradles him in his arms and its really sad

Bippys death goes on for like years. She just refuses to die until the songs done. Its very funny dear god

Waynes death hurts man

When Wayne arrives at the very white room two guys are holding up a white blanket and they have angel costumes on.

When the Headmaster says "see for yourself" Cedric appears and hands him a Puff scarf. I cant 😭😭😭

Voldy also falls into the pit for his death.

When i show up again as Megan and Olivers child, Wayna, i wear Waynes W jersey he had at the start of the play 😭

"Whether you're a Brave, a Smart, or a... child who vapes in the school bathrooms..."

When Oliver asks Wayna what 3 × 4 is, i act like i know how to solve it. "Oh i got this, 3 times 4, 3 groups of 4, 3 + 3 + 3 +3 is.... i dont know :)"

When i sit in the stool, Waynes arm hands me the Puff scarf. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

During Curtain Call, we all be doing a silly dance. Im dancing with Megan and Oliver, and Wayne runs on to crash the party like he does in play lmao

ALRIGHT THATS ALL

I HOPE YOU LIKED IT THANKS FOR READING MY 12 PARAGRAPH ESSAY

[itsdappleagain]

being late for cs weekly is just gonna be my thing now, yeah? im just fashionably late always <3

anyways, its time for: the duke of vermeer caper!

aka the zack messes up and has to cover his ass caper lol. just kidding- he does a pretty damn good job. i also love seeing chase and julia acclimate to acme in this ep! ONTO THE NOTES!

going to talk about the intro being soo hot forever

pls they try so hard to pretend for a minute that the duchess isn't carmen. her first moment onscreen plays carmen's theme song

i like how it goes from our usual personal camera angles to the security cam footage!

it is carmen sandiego, actually

"we had no record of her existence until she showed up here. but we do know what she's called somehow"

fuck you devineaux i love learning about vermeer. good on chief for throwing chase under the bus

i always think of julia as veyr bookish, but she's extremely tech savvy. she's on a tablet or a phone pretty much the entire first episode, she nails acme tech immediately...

blue is totally ur color girl you can rock anything girl

love how they just have that painting out. no protection, bare fingies all over it. carmen "all history is a treasure" sandiego, yet again

it totally is ivy you could rock blonde i think

carmen "here's what we know but i'll explain it to everyone again for the audience's benefit" sandiego

love mime bomb breaking the 4th wall jhgdsajgsh he would

you can compare girl with a pearl earring here to the real one i used for my header. considering they had to animate the paintings, i'd say its a job well done translating them to cs style! maybe somewhat less vibrant, but again- style.

Fun fact: the Dogs Playing Poker wikipedia page mentioned CS

and also calls cleo a princess

player's so proud of his terrible light pun i love him

what a fucking crime that zack deprived us of a high-stakes undercover episode with one of the faculty and a hoarde of dangerous operatives all while carmen was dressed like THIS

quality is terrible sorry but you know. actually what a crime

i love the terror on everyone's faces when everything immediately goes to shit

the thought process zack went through to think that he called, they made and delivered the food within five fucking minutes,,

EVERYONE HIDING IS SO FUNNY TO ME poor ivy has to go back in the closet </3

dash haber is fucking stupid (affectionate)

CARMEN POPPING UP FROM BEHIND THE BAR AND JUST STARING AT HIM IS SO FUNNY SHE'S LIKE Z A C K i also like how zack immediately goes "UH GOTTA THINK OF A COVER UH WE'RE MARRIED" the thought process was just. good job

zack's facial expressions in this episode are so good honestly

i also love how zack went "yeah im from boston" and immediately covered up his boston accent he's so silly

poor carmen wheeze

she went "NO DONT LET HIM DO THAT" and zack threatened murder

imagine only have 33 of vermeer's paintings and not 34 what a loser

the tiny eye flutter dash does when he hangs up is so funny pls

HIS GRIN BEFORE IVY WHACKS HIM WITH THE WIG IS SO

carmen is so chill about what just happened khzghsdgh

idk thought it was interesting i never knew what that was

player what do you think the not so good news is. really and honestly what do you think

the grimace on carmen's face progressively getting deeper as zack fails to not be bostonian is so funny shes just like. eugh

also what did moving his chin possibly help to accomplish

they did zack so dirty with that monkey suit joke shdfjsagsh

carmen is REALLY calling on her cleo childhood for this one. also. poor zack actually

the obsession with making him eat fish please just let him tell them he's allergic

CARMEN IS SO FUCKING HARSH WITH HIM IM SORRY she's like "cleo's going to fucking feed you to her dogs" and then zack works overnight to make this happen and when he comes out all ready she's just like 👁️👄👁️ showtime

its literally 7am i feel so bad for him

"park the fork in my mouth" plays in my head constantly i dont even know why

LOOK AT HIM HE DID SUCH A GOOD JOB THE GRIN WITH THE EYEBROWS AND EVERYTHING. NICE JOB ZACK

they didnt go over zack not wearing a tracker before or

pls neither of the girls can drive

girl i know it is impossible to look behind you with the side mirrors in the passenger seat nuh uh no way in hell did she even see devineaux well enough to turn it. also you just took away one of ivy's mirrors nice job carmen

shes so

DIDNT I DO IT FOR YOU...

i wonder, considering carmen's other aliases, what carmen and the crew registered as. did julia see "rogue scarletina" and go hmm might be the duchess

poor julia this season wheeze

"old admirer" youve known about him for one singular week

a "klick" is apparently a kilometer. who knew. its also apparently a military term.

LITERALLY POOR IVY carmen is not treating her crew well this time around

"ahh a drawbridge" WHAT. OTHER KIND OF BRIDGE CAN YOU HACK INTO you wouldn't download a bridge

ivy has some good expressions too actually

i laugh every time at how outraged chase gets between the second and third slo-mo shot of him turning around in the car

THEY LOOK SO SHOCKED HHAHAHA

ARE YOU?? UNDERWATER??

the direction you wish to eject is so funny to me. ejecting out the bottom <3

i love how theyre just standing there like "hmmmmm is devineaux drowning??"

oh my god ivy's driving stick i would be terrified too

i would kill someone to have heard haber say "the hostess with the mostest" pls also he looks so sad about being cut off

okay so.. zack actually can speak italian and i totally forgot about that. he says "good evening, my beautiful countess" which. everyone probably knew already

he's just vomiting back up what carmen said in the hotel jhdgsgsh

the dogs ARE so cute

DASH IN THE BG OFFENDEDLY LOOKING OVER ZACKS SHOULDER AS THEY WALK AWAY

i love dash he's such a rightfully petty bitch about everything

HI LADY DOKUSO AND COUNTERFEITER FROM S3

the cleaners do everything

PLS IVY KNEELING IN THE HALLWAY TO GET THAT VERY CARTOONY SHOT OF THEM POKING OUT FROM BEHIND THE WALL

not the three digit code for the room containing 34 vermeers

have i mentioned that they FLY through this dinner party because holy shit

OKAY NOW IVY WEARS GLOVES WHERE THE HELL WERE THOSE WHEN THEY WERE HANDLING THEM BEFORE

or i wonder if its because zack and ivy are registered citizens and if their fingerprints were found on the vermeers they would be put on wanted lists??

why ivy isn't three centimeters away from the stand with the replacement i will never understand

zack you're literally on the edge of the table you have the easiest water glass to remember

that naughty comment 😭

pls that very polite chuckling around the table

love that they switch from ivy putting the fakes down to carmen doing it. makes. more sense

YEAH OKAY IF THEYRE DOING ONE SWAP A MINUTE THE DINNER PARTY BLOWS THROUGH EVERY COURSE IN LIKE 20 MINUTES OR LESS

also the shape of the vermeer room changes??

cleo glares at her champagne thats so funny

JUST. I KNOW EVERYONE IN THE FANDOM HAS SAID IT BUT JUST SAY YOURE ALLERGIC

they were so wrong for that closeup of dash's lips

ooomg so suspiscious...someone has a different taste than urs??? what the fuck augh

dash is saying the word puke but im staring at his eye makeup its so good. look at that eyeliner and mascara

cleo the worst hostess ever doesn't tell her guest to stop when he looks like he's about to vomit

THE CRIMINAL IN YOUR MIDST LINE IS SO FUCKING FUNNY IM CRYING THE DEADPAN STARES

the meat cleaver contrasted with the rolling pin

ZACK AIMED RIGHT AT DASH'S FACE SJKFDSSGH

something about how silent that button was is so satisfying

acme has blue gas, vile has green gas, damn carmen needs something

also love how they had the masks at the ready. nice. i wonder what it would have done. knock out or more sinister?

WAIT I NEVER NOTICED DEVINEAUX SKIDDING ON THE ICE AS HE RUNS OUT HAHAHA

yes i believe the phrase is actually implying that two MUST dance that tango

duke of vermeer bad ending: chase gets mauled by dogs <3

love how chase went: hm yes. the woman who just stole 34 paintings is probably on that snowmobile, which has no cargo

lmaoo the calling card

scarlet ski demon

IVY IS SO FUCKING FUNNY IN THIS BIT IM SO IN LOVE WITH HER SHGJHSGHSGDK

RED BRINGS OUT MY EYES AND COATS ARE WARM

at least she sort of offhandedly told him he nailed the role but thats literally the only praise he gets this episode

THE SHOT JUMPING TO THE CHATEAU BEING BURNT TO THE GROUND IS SOOO FUCKING COOL

chief is so disappointed wheeze

i wonder if this case is especially aggravating to chief, considering the last time she watched a vile member's property go up in flames was dexter's house

carmen's already gotten around the world with those puppies

i thought the public wasn't supposed to know that vermeers were even gone hgdashgdsgh

i would have killed for a s4 moment where julia was like "ah your allies! a pleasure to meet you! is the duchess still among you" and everyone just kind of is like. whos gonna tell her

transition sentence <3

this is set up so much like a weekly release show its hard to believe its a netflix exclusive. that cliffhanger with grey is such a week-to-theorize thing

SHADES OF GREY. LIKE. GRAY. GRAY HAM CRACKER?

GET IT

anyways aur naur its crackle

okay yeah. solid episode, not my favorite, some shining moments just like i started with. sweet! sorry its so late anddddd see you next week for the opera in the crikeycore caper

#carmen sandiego #cs weekly #csweekly

[realcatalina]

Is this the lost portrait of Mary I as Princess?

Let’s find out!

First of all, painting A(on left) is extremely similiar to this painting on right(painting B):

The face and proportions etc. But obviously B has very different background, some jewels are not in A. However they look as if made by same person. Or that one is an excellent copy, and the other is original.

This level of similiarity, is frankly astonishing. You’d think it is same painting after and prior to cleaning of later alterations! But it isn’t. Becase B is painting in Ashmolean Museum and nobody knows what lies beneath the layers of 19th century mixture on top of it. As far as I understand the description on their webpage, the painting not only wasn’t ever properly cleaned, it cannot be cleaned(with our current technology). They tried in 1976...but that had catastrophic results(thus those weird smudges.) 

So what could be the explanation for this photo?

1)One is copy by excellent forger/by excellent painter. We once seen it with portrait of Margaret Beaufort. The copy made about 100 years later was very true to original in most aspects. Most being the key word here. Very few artist manage to do the perfect copy. This explain some of differences, Especially B was later altered or if B is the copy. But imo both look they have some alterations.

2)They were twins(twin portraits). By twin portraits we don’t mean exactly same portraits, but two portraits which are nearly same, but have some minor differecences. Catherine Parr had twin portraits, where posture was same, outfit was nearly same, just the gown and jewelry was different.

Here, however the jewels seem to be same, exactly the same and gown also. Unless of course, the quality of photos or alterations are hiding something. Hence could possibly be the case, we just can’t see it at the moment.

3)They were made exactly the same originally, and somebody altered heck out of B. (well almost exact same, amount of forepart you see is different+ some minor differences in french hood(in A it is smaller slightly). But it could be that they were ment to be same.)

Yet it doesn’t make sense for two exact same original portraits of Mary to be made in 1540s.

Unless both are copies, based upon single original, which predates them both! This seems to be most logical to me, but it could be any of the prior options. 

I could only find photo of A, idk where it is located and B cannot be cleaned at the moment. Maybe in future technology will improve and it will be able, but right now we can’t tell what is altered what is not.

Because Ashmolean Museum doesn’t meantion the photo or any other version of this painting, I think it is sadly possible that this old photo is of painting which was lost during WW2. (usually the case with lost art.)

This 3rd option-both being copies, would explain why even A does not have perfectly accurate Tudor outfit. But at same time, it seems like A itself is subject of alterations, and some appear to be visible in the photo. 

In lower half, obviously the girdle is missing, the pattern of fabric of forepart seems off(possible altered), the shape of oversleeves is wrong(they were never this small), there is like big smudge?/dark area on right(which i marked orange), and more cuts of undersleeves are partly see-through on both sides.

B doesn’t have such weirdness as far as I can tell. Though same problem with lack of girdle and too small oversleeves(+ the too wide forepart). On A the gap around waistline revealing forepart is more historically accurate, and it existing suggest the original painting could have been done in late 1530s/ealry 1540s. Because with Parr the gap disappeared.

And this is oviously the six-cut style undersleeves. This might help us narrow down dating of Streatham portrait. And once again, it is on Mary!

But what is most interesting to me is that those shadows behind her head are as if she wore gable hood! One back veil pinned up, one down. 

Except both on same side! It’d have to be same part of the veil-which is impossible. You cannot have same part of veil both unpinned and not pinned.

I mean it is possible that Mary originally wore gable hood. This shape of french hood is strange, so it’d make sense for it to be alteration. 

Yet the way that upper part is facing suggest is not corresponding to the shape on right, this is not how gable hood should be. That loose veil should be on left(where now french hood is).

But perhaps the person who altered it, tried various alterations. Who knows, maybe they went from french hood to gable hood or other way around.

I am just saying it’s possible that original painting was showing Mary with gable hood and please don’t use this french hood’s shape as inspiration. It’s shape is not correct, though better than on B.

Painting A is not that bad for probably a a copy. I mean if you compare it with young Mary by Scrots(on right):

Then there is a lot of similiarities in the face. I know it is not perfect, but it is certainly one my new favourites depictions of Mary.

And now if you’re still reading check the date. 

It’s April the First, Happy April Fools Day!

Did I fool you? I created this painting using photopea and old photo of Ashmolean museum’s painting. Took me several hours.

So this entire post was a prank.

I hope you’ve enjoyed it and that I fooled many of you.

@transingthoseformers

There are a LOT of strong feelings all around, but we're going to focus on Black Arachnia for this post :3

Her feelings were so strong that she joined the Decepticons.

So she sees Sentinel and Optimus, idk how or where or why yet, but she does. She seems them and at first doesn't notice the details.

All she sees is the bots who left her to die.

She seems them alive and happy, Optimus has a teasing smile on his face and Sentinel is shoving him, they're at that point in their semi-mended relationship.

Black Arachnia is filled with terror and fear. Bc she thought she was over her trauma. She moved past it.

But trauma has that funny thing of coming back at the least expected opportunity, at thw worst times, and in different ways. First thing she does is hide for a while. Then she stalks them. Forcing herself past her terror and straight into rage.

They left her to die. They didn't come back for her.

Somehow they manage to talk civilly about it. Sorta. Sentinel is probably non-verbal from his trauma response and Optimus uses his learned unhealthy methods of pushing past it all.

Reconciliation between all three is not going to be pretty, or happen quickly bc both Black Arachnia and Sentinel are prickly and full of self loathing (along with Optimus but he keeps his internal at All Times And Then He Will Die) and but heads.

But i think BA is smart enough in the beginning, after she tries to kill them or get revenge or some thing, to see that lofe hasn't been so great for them either. They left the relative safety of the Autobots and the comforts of Cybertron. Their paint is scratched and faded, there's some almost hidden crappy welds scattered from when Optimus couldn't leave well enough alone and started fights. They probably haven't been getting enough energon.

She finds that she... Almost pities them. At least she has a cause, a group to retreat to even if they also wouldn't come after her if she needed help.

But she's clean and healthy with access to resources. And she's not their friend.

Meaning she would absolutely sell them out to Megatron if and when she finds out about the Allspark.

#transformers #maccadam #transformers animated #tfa optimus prime #tfa sentinel prime #tfa blackarachnia #tfa au #somehow Op and Sen still get the repair crew #maybe they were giving those 2 a ride #and they found the allspark #either before #or the same way #but they run into the cons in a relatively peaceful encounter #instead of literally running into a warship #but earth still happens #just not the same #i am having Thoughts

[tiredassmage]

can you tell us the general rundown about bounty hunter tyr for us unenlightened folks? :D (if ok to spoil what that's about)

EHEHEHEHE I have no self control when the question includes "Tyr," that's what slkdfnldsnfsd. Short version, @hyrohkaah (god bestie idk what blog to tag for this eheheheh) & I put Tyr & their Hyroh together for shenanigans and then, naturally, as you do when you play Barbies with you and a friend's blorbos, we said, 'what if Alliance era role swap,' and... then hold on I wrote a checklist about what happens but IN SHORT.

But, essentially, it begged the question of what does Tyr do for five years when Hyroh, the one safe place Tyr had found in the galaxy, is presumed dead, and the answer is, as everything with Tyr is: complicated.

In one sense, he keeps his promise to Hyroh: that he'll walk away, that he won't answer to either side anymore. He'll fight for himself first. For Hyroh, Tyr cut ties with Sith Intelligence after Ziost, using the chaos erupting across the planet as cover and only leaving ongoing contact with a select few - namely Vector, Theron, and Lana, though the latter is with a particularly sharp threat that if she tries to rope him back into Intelligence, his answer has a good chance of being violent. In another, Tyr's "coping" is... not coping and throwing himself back into work and the skills and methodologies of a Cipher like it's going out of style. He's just... not doing it for either side, exactly.

For a few months, then, life was... good. As good as it could be as they hunted a planet-eating force entity across the stretches of the galaxy and waited with baited breath.

[And then she proceeded without the checklist]

Then we more or less know how the big story goes; the Eternal Empire invades in retaliation for the fleet. The Sith Empire and the Republic both keep tight lips about what happened to Marr's expedition and their would-be heroes are quietly presumed killed in action. They'd barely had time to discuss what life was supposed to look like when they finished this. 'If' goes unspoken. Because it wasn't worth tearing up old wounds for both of them.

But if is what he's left with. He's cut ties with both sides and Tyr is tired of watching both of them kick each other under the table instead of ceding that Zakuul is a greater threat than both of them. So, Tyr does the only thing a Cipher could: crafts a new name, a new face, and slips himself back into the life of a hired killer, using his shared intelligence with Ardun Kothe and the Black Codex as an assassin's guide to the political intrigue of both sides. In between building a reputation as a ruthless, but quiet and effective hunter, Tyr hunts those he perceives as corrupt that remain rotting in the power structure - primarily in the Empire, though he's not above or below chasing down a few Senators of the Republic, either.

The internal unrest amongst the Mandalorians splits the titled Grand Champion of the Great Hunt off with Torian Cadera back into Mandalorian business, and such is, eventually, how Nine picks up Mako as a hunt partner and struggles to strike a balance between teaching her a Cipher's ways and "do as I say, not as I do."

She saves his life rather literally when one of his vendetta assassinations goes not quite to plan; he's missing for three days before she interrupts the interrogation trying to figure out who hired him to take shots at an Imperial minister. Tyr's done well to spin them in circles, even if it's nearly killed him to do so. Mako would've beat him over the head herself for being reckless if he wasn't half-way dead by his own doing. So "Kyranthe," as he's met her, reveals some (a very... mild and redacted version, mind) of his mired history with Imperial Intelligence as a former agent by way of explaining why he does these jobs someone may or may not be paying him to carry out.

The paint and ink hide the scars from the... "contract negotiations." And add something to the intimidating persona or whatever when he needs to conduct business in person face-to-face

So, when Lana Beniko comes snaking back into his life a few years into this odd war, he's mistrustful; she doesn't deny knowledge about his "activities," but claims she's not there on Imperial business. Mako's wary of him making any deals with more Sith. Andd... I was gonna save the ficlet it spawned for another day BUT. Since I'm now going. Stay tuned for how her "job offer" goes. ; D

Oh, and of course, I could have just. kept all of this hc and I didn't NEED to turn it into a whole thing. But then I said to myself, "Dot... You need to finish a BH on SF anyway."

And who am I to say no to Tyr?

20. A memory of someone who is deceased ( idk how ancient the meme is and i KNOW its april fools bit time but what if im a little curious ... )

EXPERIENCE MEMORIES

Coldsnap is clear in his view as she picks him up from the ground.

He's scuffed his paint, his joints are sore, and he is so young his kibble has only just emerged. He's wide and blocky and struggling to adapt to this world not meant for wide and blocky.

Or maybe it's just this room.

His mentor sighs, though not out of frustration. Her voice is gentle, a stark contrast to how he hears her speak to others. "Slowly, ██████. Your alt-mode has only just emerged."

He, however, is most certainly frustrated with himself. "It should be easier. Transforming is supposed to come naturally to us." He stands on his own two feet now, looking down at them.

Coldsnap gestures for him to join her, sitting down at the bench. He hesitates, but does so. His frustration is visible in the way he huffs once, and then again, and then shifts restlessly from where he sits.

Trying not to cry.

Coldsnap stares at him for a moment before she rests a hand on his shoulder. "We often naturally transform, that is correct. But that does not mean the initial one is easy. There are times... newforges can struggle with it because while their body is designed for it, that does not mean your brain can figure it out. It may take time, but that is not a personal failure, ██████."

"I don't..." he huffs, "My brain works differently."

"Which is fine," his mentor says firmly, "Primus did not give us brain modules in order for us to think the same. Just as he gave us vocalizers to question."

He brings his knees to his chest, folding his arms on top of them and hiding his face away. Coldsnap takes this as a moment to pull him into a side-hug. "There is no need to rush yourself. You will get it in time."

He allows himself to calm in her embrace.

"Are you ready to try again?"

He shakes his head mutely.

"What do you want to do?"

"Mm... starmapping."

"Very well, brightspark."

Coldsnap nods and moves her free hand to take out a dataslate, she pulls up a hologram as specks of light fill the room. They can't see stars from down here, but it's a good enough imitation.

The turquoise of his mentor's forearms almost shine in this light.

[hello-nichya-here]

this time u get high anon :) i do not think i have a whole drabble rn but have some scenarios

idk why but this one lives rent free in my head? i have a whole unwritten fic in my mind about a scenario where azula & zuko end up having weirdly emotional comfort / vengeance sex at ozai's funeral? like in a bathroom or something / a hidden room or a car or something idk. this one is so specific I may have even sent something about it before or perhaps i once read it in a fic I could never find again? i don't know but for some reason, this scenario keeps coming up in my mind

zuko picks drunk azula up at a party & she's upset & won't tell him why at first. he pulls over & refuses to take her all the way home until she talks. he coaxes it out of her that somehow the other girls found out she's a virgin & were bullying her about it. this leads to zuko taking her virginity hehehe

okay hear me out this one is dark so trigger warning but someone evil (maybe zhao? i have like. a thing for zhao being creepy to azula & i don't know why. maybe "thing" isn't the word but it does show up in like. all my fics so maybe it is a "thing"? idk) kidnaps azula for a time. she gets back & is fucked up. zuko has to help her readjust & comfort her when she gets scared / has nightmares. this leads to lots of late night cuddles & comfort moments. could be a whole ass long au? idk

zuko is a detective / fbi agent / law enforcement officer of some kind & azula is his shady criminal informant. the other officers know zuko is sleeping with azula but they don't know she's his sister ;)

this one is not even remotely original but still zuko & azula don't see each other for a while like maybe a year or two. they wind up at the same halloween party drunk as fuck & both in costumes that cover their faces (masks / masquerade masks / maybe even just face paint?) & end up fucking not knowing its each other. they could find out the next morning or immediately after or much much later after telling many people "oh yeah I had sex with the hot *insert the others' costume* at that party" until someone tells one of them

anyway these are all i have for the moment. i could perhaps write one as my next drabble idk xD

thanks for letting me use your inbox as a hobby ily girl xoxo

"i have a whole unwritten fic in my mind about a scenario where azula & zuko end up having weirdly emotional comfort / vengeance sex at ozai's funeral?" YOU TOO? I thought I was the only who kind of wanted to write something like that XD

"Other girls found out she's a virgin & were bullying her about it. this leads to zuko taking her virginity" I mean, he is just being a good brother... nothing wrong with that 😈

Okay, the one with Azula being kidnapped sounds like one that would absolutely wreck my heart. I want it.

Criminal Azula, huh? Well, Zuzu is gonna have to catch her, make sure she's not hiding any weapons anywhere, be "tough" and also sweet with her to get her talking... lots of potential.

Zucest with a "I didn't realize it was you" plot is my weakness, I adore it so much.

I love you too! And you better get high more often!

If Ellen keeps her ability to heat up her skin from the movie, then it’s certainly going to make her fight with Jack interesting, seeing as she was straight up able to melt metal and burn people’s faces off.

In the original plan/drawings I did I was just going to have him grab a baseball bat or smth and use the power of pure rage (and love) to defeat the bad guys.

Now I guess it's a bit more complicated. Maybe he'll have to get creative.

ok here we go:

The fight starts with ted in a cage or chained up or smth like that, Jack being held by the guards, and Ellen up on her big creepy throne. There's a big monster killing machine or whatever she's been working on in the corner.

They talk for a bit and Jack realizes how much she hates monsters, hates herself, and hates ted. There's no way to talk her down. Jacks tired, hungry, and battered and bruised. He hasn't been able to do his normal full moon aftercare bc he's spent the last two days hiking through the woods trying to get ted back. He can't do this anymore. He starts crying but it's like angry crying. He's not giving up, if anything he's doing the opposite. He's tried talking to her, he's tried sneaking ted out (that's how he got caught), he's tried to be nice and reasonable, but he can't do it anymore. Now, as much as he hates violence, he has to hit somebody. so he does exactly that.

the guards aren't ready and go down pretty easily. they aren't expecting it and even tho he's exhausted, I think jack would be stronger than a regular person. He grabs one of their batons or something and fights his way up to the throne. Ellen sees that somehow all her men are losing so she gets down and goes up against jack herself. they exchange a few blows before she melts his stick. jack realizes how utterly screwed he is w no weapons and almost no combat training so he falls back on his "running and hiding" tactic that has served him well. the room is dark and almost everything is painted black or some shade of gray so it's easy to hide. she starts taunting him and knocking over boxes and stuff to find him. maybe there's a moment where jack and ted make eye contact and theyre both afraid and don't know if this is the end. then jack spots the big monster ray or whatever and has an idea. the only problem is it's all the way across the room and he'll be out in the open for a while trying to get to it. he doesn't have any other options tho and she's getting close so he jumps out and makes a break for it. maybe she grabs onto the back of his oversized jacket and he thinks he's done for when ted reaches through the cage and picks Ellen up. she drops jack in surprise and jack runs. ellen burns ted and he drops her. he's got a nasty burn on his hand now but is relatively ok bc of his own size and powers. jack makes it to the ray and aims it at ellen. he shoots her and she melts or explodes or evaporates or whatever the ray does, idk.

jack gets ted out and they go home. (where jack has a breakdown over taking another life. but it's ok bc ted comforts him and reassures him that this was ok bc he did it to save both their lives. and then he puts some food in him and jack sleeps for 27 hours straight and he feels much better)
