WHERE DO BROKEN HEARTS GO

Synopsis: After being a part of the Donquixote "family" for 10 years, a certain clumsy man with a heart of gold helps you escape the cage.

Pairing : None really, a little Doflamingo x Reader; a little sprinkle of Corazon x Reader

Warnings: Mentions of Doflamingo's backstory and Doflamingo himself.

She stirred in her sleep as a small hand tugged at the green scarf that was tied around her neck. Cracking an eye open, she looked at the boy trying to wake her up, his cheeks flushed. She sat up straight and held the little boy’s hands in hers.

“My my, you’re so cold Law! Come here, I’ll warm you right up. I’m sure Corazon will be back soon.”

Law nodded and huddled closer to her. She untied her scarf and wrapped it around his petite frame, calming his shivering body down. He seemed to immediately feel better as his teeth stopped chattering. She rubbed his arms up and down, while keeping an eye out for Corazon, who would be on his way back to them with the Ope Ope Nomi.

Hurry up, Rosi. I don’t know how long he can hold on…

Law had long fallen asleep and her eyes were starting to droop too. She slapped her cheek lightly to stop sleep from taking over her. Corazon should’ve been back by then but he was nowhere to be seen. Any hope she had left was slowly dying and terrible thoughts were swarming her mind. What if he got caught by the executives? Or what if Doflamingo caught him? He’s probably dead…

Snow was falling over them now as the little to no protection of the tree was rendered useless by the winds swaying the leaves around. Law was asleep but he didn’t look good at all. Most of his face had turned white and his cheeks were brightly flushed. Poor child. She looked up at the falling snow and her mind drifted to that day. The day her life changed. The day she met Donquixote Doflamingo…

--------10 years ago----------

Under the torn rug, a young girl with dark black hair lay hidden, hands over her mouth to stop any sound from escaping. She could smell the stench of death in the air as gunshots rang heavily around her. She couldn’t understand why the World Government would order a buster call on her island. In one instant, her entire life was turned upside down. The people who had miraculously survived the blasts were now being shot to death. A strangled sob escaped her lips and she quickly shut them together. The horror of being found silenced her voice and she closed her eyes. Her momentary peace was taken away as the rug on top of her was harshly pulled up. She opened her eyes and saw a weird man looking down at her. He had snot running down his nose and his appearance was quite disturbing.

“Nya Doffy, look what we have here”, he said to another person who was standing a little farther from her. As he came closer, she saw him clearly. He didn’t look that much older. He was wearing a wine-colored suit and his eyes were covered by sunglasses. He glanced at her trembling figure and said something to another man standing next to him. The other man was also weird-looking or maybe he had makeup on, she couldn’t tell. He nodded to the man in sunglasses who came closer to her and picked her up.

“Do you want to live?” His voice was deep. Perhaps he was older. She really couldn’t tell. All she managed to do was nod her head. He smirked at the response and handed her to the man in makeup.

“Corazon, take her to the ship. We’ll leave this island in an instant. The Navy will handle the rest of the cleansing.”

Corazon held her wrist and dragged her away from the place that used to be her home. She looked back at the now burned down house and a tear slipped onto her cheek. The man took her to a ship where other weird-looking people were waiting for them. She looked around trying to make sense of everything. Suddenly she felt someone’s hand on her cheek and she turned to see Corazon wiping her tears. He gave her a wide grin which she tried to return but all she could manage was a small smile. The man with sunglasses also boarded the ship and gave the orders to leave. Everyone on the ship seemed to be in good spirits except Corazon. He was solemnly sitting away from them, glancing back at the misfortunate island now and then. She decided to go sit next to him but was called out by the sunglasses man. She thought it best not to disobey so she went to him instead.

“What’s your name?” he asked her, sipping wine straight from the bottle.

She didn’t reply. Her name was something that reminded her of her parents and she didn’t want to remember them at all. Her head lowered as more tears slipped out. The man raised an eyebrow at that and with a sigh, put the bottle down.

“When I ask something, I want an answer instantly, do you understand?” His voice was stern. She wiped her tears quickly and looked up at him. He truly seemed to be young, maybe around her age.

“I apologize. My name is (___).”

“Hmm. How old are you?”

“I turned 18 last week.”

“Nya Doffy, she’s the same age as you but look how tiny she looks compared to you,” the snot-faced man commented and burst into laughter. No one else laughed.

“How would you like to work for me?”

She wasn’t sure what to say. They were pirates and she had no such talents that would suit such a life. But this was her only option. She had nothing else left.

“I’m not sure what I can do for you…”

“Fufufufufufu, I’m sure we’ll find something for you to do.”

“Then I’ll be glad to help. You saved my life after all.”

“Young Master.”

“Huh?”

“That’s what you’ll call me.”

“Of course, Young Master.”

------------------------------------------

The first 3 years were very difficult for her. Adjusting to the Pirate lifestyle was the easier part. What’s difficult to learn was to live with Doflamingo’s family; to learn not to laugh at Pica’s voice, to learn not to make Gladius angry, to learn not to offend Doffy in any way, to not disobey him, and so on. If there was one easy thing, it was getting along with Corazon. She learned that he couldn’t speak but that didn’t stop them from sharing each other’s pain with each other. She soon learned that he was Doffy’s own brother and that he didn’t like how cruel his brother was. As for her role in the family, she was to look after the young ones, Baby 5 and Buffalo, and later Law. At least that’s what everyone thought. In reality, she used to sit with Doflamingo and listen to everything he had to say. One might say she was his therapist, only she couldn’t say anything. She listened and he opened up to her about his inner feelings and turmoil. He told her about his father – Donquixote Homing and how he had left his luxurious life in Mariejois. His father hadn’t thought about the repercussions at all and had led his wife to death and his kids to get tortured. His story gave her an understanding of why he was so cruel but it in no way justified his behavior as a grown-up. He was a tyrant and he knew it. She felt bad for him but she felt even worse for Corazon, whose real name she learned was Rosinante. He had gone through the same things that his brother had and yet he was a much nicer person. Over the years, Doflamingo had grown quite fond of her. Anyone who didn’t know him would think he was in love but he was incapable of that. The feelings he had for her were the thing closest to love but it wasn’t love. It couldn’t be, right? She tried to make herself believe that it wasn’t. However, his behavior indicated otherwise. He was much more polite and sweet to her than the other family members. He brought her gifts and took her sight-seeing. She thought it was a reward for listening to him without complaining. Perhaps it was. Or perhaps it wasn’t. Before she could find out, Corazon turned her life upside down.

It was after he overheard Law talking to Baby 5 and Buffalo. He had picked up Law hurriedly and dragged him into an alley. It might’ve seemed suspicious to anyone but she knew Corazon well enough. She quietly followed them and hid behind the wall to see what was happening. What happened there shook her to her core. He spoke. He spoke clearly and well and said some things that changed everything. After Law ran back, she came out of her hiding place and decided to confront Corazon. He told her everything, about the Celestial Dragons and the Clan of the D. She decided to help him get Law away.

---------- back to present day -------------

The boy and the woman were woken up by the loud gunshots. She got up quickly and picked up Law. He held onto her tightly as she took out her gun.

“Don’t worry. I’ll protect you with my life. Corazon will come here and he’ll get you away from here!”

“Both of us. Cora-San will save both of us.”

She nodded and held him closer, ready to shoot down whoever came down the street. Someone did come running their way but it was Corazon. She let out a sigh of relief as she recognized him. He ran to them quickly and took out a red fruit.

“Look! I got the Ope Ope Nomi! Eat it quickly. Doffy is here!”

Her eyes went wide and she looked around in panic. Law looked absolutely crestfallen and shook his head.

“Even if I eat it, there’s no guarantee that I’ll be able to do away with my disease…”

Corazon grimaced at his words and put the entire fruit into his mouth.

“What nonsense are you saying? It will work. Eat it! Come on!”

Law swallowed the entire fruit and wiped his tongue in disgust. Corazon smiled at the boy and fell face first. Blood oozed out from under him and they ran to him.

“Cora San! What happened?” She turned him around and fell backward in shock.

“You’ve been shot!”, the kid exclaimed, panicked.

He began flailing his arms over his body. “Get better. Get better. Heal him. Stop bleeding! Stop!”

Corazon laughed softly and put his hand over his head. “I told you, it doesn’t work like that. It’s not magic.” He took out something from his pocket and handed it to her. “Give this to the Navy. They’re around the coast. Hurry up.” Before she could stand up, Law took it and ran off. She tried to go after him but Corazon coughed up blood and she decided to stay with him. She put her faith in the kid and began taking out the bullets that were in his body. She tore the sleeves off her shirt and wrapped them around his torso. He smiled through it all and kept looking at her.

“Why weren’t you careful, you idiot! If Doflamingo is here, we need you the most. How could you let yourself get shot like this!”

He clasped her hand and tugged her to himself. She leaned over him and with her free hand, she removed strands of hair from his face.

“Listen to me carefully. I don’t think I’ll make it out of here alive. Once Doffy finds me, he’ll kill me. Take Law and get away from here. Doffy must not get his hands on the Ope Ope Nomi. Promise me, whatever happens, you’ll live.”

She looked into his eyes and saw no fear. She kissed his forehead and smiled at him.

“Law will be free. And so will you. We’re all making it out of here. Hear me? All three of us.”

“Of course. We’ll all be free.”

----------------------------------------

Doflamingo held her wrist tightly as she once again tried to run to her friend lying in front of the treasure boxes. She knew Law was in one of them. Corazon had used his Calm Calm Fruit abilities on Law to make him silent.

“Why did you have to get in my way? Why must I kill another member of my family now?”

Corazon struggled to stand up but he did and pointed his gun towards Doflamingo.

“Law won’t obey you. Neither will she. They’re no longer prisoners, neither to their circumstances nor to you. They’re free!”

All hopes left her body as she heard the shot ring. Doflamingo shot his brother. Once, twice, thrice, a fourth time, a fifth, and finally a sixth, sending his body flying back to the treasure chests. A piercing scream left her lips as she tried to run to him once again but Doffy’s grip held her back. She looked up at his face which was stoic and emotionless.

“How could you?! How could you kill your own brother?!” Her voice was an emotional mess as tears flowed down her cheeks one after another.

He looked at her and tried to wipe her tears but she jerked her head sideways. “I don’t tolerate betrayals. He was my brother but he betrayed me. He only got what he deserved.”

“Then kill me too! I betrayed you too, didn’t I? I ran away from you! Kill me too you hypocrite!”

“Oh, believe me, I have much worse in store for you. You’ll never even dream of leaving me again.”

He turned to Trebol and nodded his head.

“Nya, get the treasure, and let’s leave.” They picked up the boxes and left. She kept looking back at Corazon’s dead body, hoping to see him get up but he lay there motionless. Now her only reason to live was to make sure Law got out of there safely. As they reached their ship, the Navy began firing at them. During the commotion, she saw Law leaving one of the boxes and running away. She let out a deep breath, happy that Corazon’s death hadn’t been in vain.

“Go Law, be free. Live a long and happy life, my boy. Rosi will look after you” she said under her breath as Doffy dragged her onto the ship.

Oikawa x injured reader

Background: you are Seijoh’s manager (you’re a second year) and you were running with the boys and you trip and twist your knee and in the process and tear your meniscus

Y/N= First name

L/N= last name

F/C=favorite color

F/F=favorite food

I/C/N= Incel name

YOUR POV

I had gone to school this morning in a rush so as not to be late. But alas luck was not on my side today

Because I ended up being over 20 minutes late to class and with the rain I hadn’t seen a light pole and ran right into it thus cracking one of my glasses lenses in a spiderweb fashion now rendering my left eye useless and my vision doubled

I sprinted through the halls to my class and was fortunately able to slip in undetected before attendance was even called only to be grossly hit on by the classroom’s resident greasy sleaze ball nice guy upon my immediate entrance.

“Well well m’lady will you finally go out with me or be a fool and go out with some jerk?”

“I-I’m sorry I/C/N I’m just… not interested in you.”

“Wow you’re so rude L/N and I’ve been sooo nice to you”

I just avoided eye contact and just went to a nice darker corner of the room to get away from him and pray for the day to end without another absolute travesty happening again

But alas

This was not the case

“YYYYYYYYY/NNNNNNNNNNNNNN-CHAAAAAAAAAAAN!”

Of course Tooru fucking Oikawa had to come bursting in to the one class I had with the greasy incel

“What do you need Oikawa-San?”

“Y/N-chan we are having an extra practice next class and I thought I would come to tell you!”

“IS THIS WHY YOU WON’T GO OUT WITH ME?!? BECAUSE YOU’RE WITH HIM?!?!”

“I/C/N it’s not-“

“SO I’M JUST NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU?!?!”

“SHUT UP CAN’T YOU SEE I’M TRYING TO TALK TO THE MANAGER OF OUR VOLLEYBALL TEAM?!?!”

“Anyway Y/N-chan you’re free to join us at anytime but maybe you’ll wanna come early? We’re thinking of also planning a team bonding activity”

I realized I had a choice to go and join them when the teacher looked at me and nodded her head

“Of course I’ll help!”

And of course riiiiiiiiiiight when I got up and got to where Oikawa that nasty incel started screaming out a bunch of incoherent curses and… interesting expletives

Thankfully Oikawa had speedily put his hand to my lower back and escorted me out

“You deal with that everyday?”

“Yeah but it’s fine. As long as I ignore him there’s no worry”

“That doesn’t change that he’s being creepy and you shouldn’t have to deal with that”

“Just drop it Oikawa-san I can’t have you worrying about something that might cloud your mind”

TIME SKIP TO PRACTICE

“Alright boys I want all of you to go run to the track, run 2 laps and run back to build your endurance” the coach said while very specifically looking at Kyotani and as if to say ‘if you so much as get a scrape competing against each other I’ll skin you alive’

“Pardon my interruption coach but may I also run with the team? I’m trying to build my lung capacity for band again”

“Sure just make sure to keep an eye on Oikawa and Kyotani and not get lost”

And with that we were off

I put one headphone in and started jogging. At first I was at the middle of the pack but I steadily made my way to the front and when I finally made my way to the front I started running faster up the slope that would take us to the track.

By the time we finished the first lap out of my right ear I heard fast and thundering footsteps only to see Kyotani trying to sprint past me in order to assert his dominance but I sped up to double the pace of my music before starting my breathing technique for running thus officially leaving everyone in the dust.

I did not however account for Oikawa wanting to assert his dominance over Kyotani and Oikawa started SPRINTING not to catch up with me but to beat Kyotani. There was uh…one problem though.

Oikawa was EXTREMELY fast and had long legs (longer than mine like sheesh) I was worried he was gonna get hurt by trying to outrun everyone and right as he was finally catching up to me and about to pass me I started screaming “SLOW DOWN OIKAWA YOU’RE GONNA HURT YOURSELF AGAIN”

He IMMEDIATELY stopped running and only decided to run next to me and keep my pace since I already had out run the whole ass team and had lapped half the team

There was just one problem

The song changed to be faster

Like 30 BPM faster

So as the tempo changed in the music the tempo in my feet changed

“Y/N-CHAAAAAAAN SLOW DOWN I CAN’T KEEP UUUUUUUP”

“Sorry Oikawa but I gotta keep pace with my music for my training!”

He never caught all the way up to me but he stayed close behind

Which was a curse and a blessing for what I didn’t know what was coming

Because right after we got off the track I got my foot stuck in a hole and twisted my knee as I fell

“Y/N-CHAN!!”

“I’m okay Oikawa i just fell is all” which was true but I had to down play my injury in order to get better all around and to keep helping the team

“NO YOU’RE NOT YOU CAN’T FOOL ME! YOUR KNEE IS NOT OKAY! WE NEED TO GET YOU TO THE INFIRMARY!”

“I’m okay! Really! I can walk see?”

I then stand up only for my knee to betray me and give out

“Y/N”

He then runs to my side as I’m on the ground trying to quickly re-adjust my knee so it at least looks normal to make sure Oikawa doesn’t worry which could lead to me not being able to participate

“OH MY GOD Y/N ARE YOU OK?!?!?!”

“I-I’m ok I just need a few seconds to get up and walk it off is all-“

And of fucking course fucking Kindaichi catches up with us and that piece of shit of course calls out:

“HOLY SHIT L/N-SENPAI WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR KNEE IT’S ALL BENT OUT OF SHAPE”

So now there’s all this yelling because of Kindaichi’s panic call out and this of course brings on a new wave of panicked screaming from Oikawa and a now frantic Iwaizumi charging towards me

“It’s ok I-I’ll be fine I can walk it off. I always do I’m fine”.

“OI WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT MEAN?” Oh of course Iwaizumi jumps into this mess

of course Oikawa jumps back into this and it becomes apparent that he’s not giving up on this and I realize there might not be an out for this.

and finally after what seemed like ages Oikawa comes back to me but with Iwaizumi this time

“Y/N I’m going to pick you up by your armpits and Oikawa is gonna help me get you back to the gym ok?”

“I’ll be fine Iwaizumi-san I can make it back fine”

“Nope we’re carrying you. Actually I’m going to relocate your knee so you’ll be in less pain”

“Nonononononononono I’ll be ok really I just need to not be a baby and walk it off.”

“Oi Shittykawa hold her still so I can do this ok”

Oikawa crouched down near me and wrapped his arms around my upper body and as Iwaizumi was putting my knee back in place, Oikawa decided that I needed a stronger distraction than just a surprise hug from behind

And so he decides to dig his fingers into my ribs and starts plucking at them like an electric guitar and nuzzling my cheek with his nose

“Waiahaihahahahahahait nohohohohohohohho oikahahahahahahahahawa thahahat tihihickles pleahehehehehehehse”

“Sorry Y/N-chan but you need this and you know what they say, laughter is the best medicine! Isn’t that right Iwa-chan?”

“I hate to say it but he’s right for once, it helps produce endorphins which lessens pain”

“I-hihihihihihihihihihihi neheheheheheehehehever sahahahahahahahaid ihihihit huhurt”

“Y/N-chan! What kind of captain would I be if I let our precious manager be hurt! And besides you’re always there for us so it’s only fair that we’re here for you!”

He of course moves his hands from my ribs to my tummy and that made it worse and made me squirm more than I had before and on top of that my laughter went from just barely held back giggles to full blown belly laughter

That gave Iwaizumi his chance to fix my knee and while I was distracted he got my leg and readjusted it at the knee, but as he was snapping my knee back to the correct position Oikawa went down to my hips and started scribbling there with his nails and I went WILD

“OIKAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAWAHAHAHAHAHAHA NOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA NOHOHOHOT THEHEHEHERE NOHOHOHOT THEHEHEHRE PLEAHEHEHHEHESE”

“Awwww how cute! Your laugh is so pretty! I could just eat you up! Coochie coochie coo! Tickle tickle tickle tickle tickle~!”

“Oi Shittykawa I’m done you can stop now”

“Come now Iwa-chan are you hearing her laughing? She never laughs! And she’s so cute!”

“We have to get her back to the club room so her knee can get checked out by the nurse”

“Awww ok.” And he pouts and lets me go as my giggles finally die down and I try to get up but quickly get pulled back to the ground only to immediately be picked up again princess style by Oikawa.

Timeskip~

I had been taken back to the club room and the nurse had confirmed that on top of the dislocation of my knee I must have dislocated my meniscus and will need a brace as well as crutches for a week or 2.

“But will I be able to march?”

“I’m afraid not my dear for 2 weeks”

I was about to pipe in calling bullshit only to be cut off by Oikawa:

“It’s ok Y/N-Chan you have us to help you! Besides I’ve dealt with something similar before as you know so I can give you some tips and tricks too.” He says as he wraps his arms around me and nuzzles into my neck affectionately

I immediately get flustered by this and the nurse pipes in

“I-I’ll step out for a second so you 2 can have a moment to process”

Smooth. Real smooth

“Now that we’re alone I want to ask you something Y/N-chan. Just hear me out ok?”

“O-ok”

“I know we’ve known each other since early-ish middle school and that’s a long time, but I want to ask you something, will y-you go on a date with me Y/N-chan? I know this seems sudden but it’s been sitting for a while and I couldn’t just let it wither away in my brain. but If it already wasn't obvious to you Y/N-chan I've really liked you for some time and there’s no way I can live without you by my side. Every waking moment I’m with you it feels like a dream that I never want to wake up from”

“A-are you s-saying y-you l-like me O-Oikawa-san?”

“Yes Y/N-chan I do. More than that actually.” He says as he gently takes my hands in his and looks directly at me in my E/C eyes and smiled warmly. “It’s actually quite interesting how you didn’t notice~”

“I had no idea you felt that way. Considering you could have any girl you want and-”

“Y/N I swear to God if you say that you’re not good enough I might actually scream.”

“Oikawa-san! You can’t cuss! Hypocrite!”

Then he stuck his tongue out at me and blew a raspberry as he crossed his arms too.

“I didn’t use dirty language though! But on a separate note you better not say you’re good enough for me~”

“Ok but when you have creeps like I/C/N hitting on you and no one else then it gives that impression.”

“Ewwwww how dare he. I’m still jealous because there are boys from the baseball team who hit on you. Like just cause you can hit a ball with a stick doesn’t mean you’re good enough for Y/N-chan”

“What do you mean ‘good enough for me’? I’m not good enough looking for that high of a standard.”

“Look I love you and everything but you are painfully oblivious. A LOT of boys look at you. And you should have better standards because your looks? Stunning. Your personality is amazing too”

He walked over to me again and looked at me.

“But you ha-”

And he kisses me

“Oikawa-”

“Sorry Y/N-chan I couldn’t let you keep saying that stuff about yourself”

He just shrugs after that whole bombshell drop and sits down next to me on the bed and puts me on his lap

“Hey careful of the brace!”

“I know I know. And weren’t you the one telling me to be careful about mine~”

“Sh-shut up” I said getting flustered

“You know you love me~”

1 WEEK LATER…

“Alrighty boys you’ll be running up the hill to the track, 2 laps around the track and back down again. Except you L/N because you’re injured.”

“Awwwww come on coach I think I can do it! Pleeeeeease?

Then Oikawa piped in with the rich statement of:

“L/N you remember the doctor telling you to stay off it for 3 weeks and be on crutches for that time”

“Well I feel fine so screw it. A week is enough for me.”

“How about this coach, since I myself have been having problems with my knee I’ll stay back with her to make sure she doesn’t try anything sneaky.”

Iwaizumi had taken this as his chance to chime in:

“Wow shittykawa is doing something mature for once and taking care of himself at the same time”

And with that they were off

I had tried to get up as they were leaving when Oikawa had looked away for just a second

But

I did not succeed

“Hey where are you going you goofball?” Oikawa said as he grabbed onto my hips and pulled me into his lap this undoing my work to stand up again.

“Y-you can’t keep me down for long Oikawa!”

“Yes I can darling~just watch” as he finished saying that he put me between his legs and put them over mine to prevent me from standing again

“Oh and just for good measure to make sure you can’t escape~” he had grabbed both my wrists with one hand and started tickling me in all my weak areas on my tummy, sides, ribs etc.

“Oh look at that it seems my little Y/N-chan can’t move~ too bad she tried to fight me earlier forgetting I’m bigger in both weight and height.”

“SCREHEHEHEHEW YOUOHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA”

The end (part 2 maybe. Idk)

What to Expect Coming Up

I am still sick, but thought it’d be fun to mention all the projects I have going on and my sort of process.

I’ve gotten into the flow of 3 art -> animate an hour -> 3 art -> reference sheet; and repeat! Now the “3 art” doesn’t include warm-ups, which I’ll discuss in a moment. This usually varies but does have a pattern of priority to it.

Commissions (none atm, but one has discussed interest) -> Deadline art (contest entries, featured character, birthday gifts) -> “Required” art (raffle prizes [2 remain], Benrey project, 11 Bulbasaur gifts, 42 late Artfight attacks) -> Other stuff

When it comes to warm-ups, I’ve gone 32 times in a row of purely HLVRAI. It’ll still be thrown in the mix, but I’d like to add Pokemon and OCs as a chance too! Warm-ups include any requests I get, and those increase in chance the longer they’re there. Meanwhile there’s still the chance my random wheel will choose something like “Sunkist” three days in a row lol.

Now to discuss all the projects! First off, my next three art will be: raffle prize, a small special RTVS animation, and a doodle of my next hyperfixation which I’ll then open up for requests as well!

HLVRAI

“Cabinet Man” Animatic: A more long-term project that’s fully storyboarded so far, but I plan on making rendered (or at least colored) illustrations for.

I have two parts in my Multi-Animator-Project! One part is Benrey and Gordon focused, while the other part is Tommy, Bubby, and Coomer focused, so I get to animate the whole Science Team and that excites me!! (One part still open by the way, hint hint.) The MAP itself is a third of the way complete let’s goooooo!

Other animation projects include: “Two Birds” Tommy and Benrey friendship animatic (fully written), “Eighth Wonder” Tommy animatic (just an idea, focusing on the others first), and occasional clips or mini animations.

Benrey Fanart (and then the other characters too!): I have 12 people left to reach out to, but I gotta do it slowly so my account doesn’t get shadowbanned again (that was scary ngl). But once I do, the sign-up post will be updated regularly as I work and I’ll DM everyone individually as I finish theirs!

@sweetvoicecafe ! I am very excited to get this up and running! I have 3 references remaining, and then I can work on the introductory comic. (I mayyyyyyyy call for voice actors.)

HLVRAI-based OCs: This is a more minor thing, but I want to finish 9 more designs before Artfight, as I’ve only finished Joshie.

Pokemon

It’ll be a while longer until it’s ready, but I’d like to restart my Shiny Living Dex Challenge. And it’ll no longer be discord only, I’ll extend it to tumblr as well! Especially since there’s art prizes involved.

I have 11 remaining Bulbasaur/Ivysaur/Venusaur gifts to finish!

The occasional warmup, request, doodle, etc.

“Close Up Meme” Phanthop AU Animatic that I would love to polish and color.

“Never Love an Anchor” Hop and Leon animatic that I have indeed started (just an animatic this time, not polished)

I’ve started releasing collab (with @mr-web ) Art Podcasts on my youtube channel hint hint ;)

Misc.

Streams: Over on my Twitch (same name): I stream weekly (maybe more, depending on my new work schedule, just finished moving after all). At the moment, I’m taking turns with Half Life (nearly done with game one) and Omori (collab with Doglord15). Soon it’ll (hopefully) include Pokemon, but I’d also like to try Undertale Yellow, Portal, Hollow Knight, and more! As well as a return to art streams, that’d be cool.

Artfight Prep: I am mostly done, but remaining I have: 3 SVC refs, 9 HLVRAI OC refs, and fully updating my spreadsheet, which will also be updated on tumblr! (I may do this today, as it’s something I can do while bed-ridden.) Plus the 42 leftover revenges.

Among Us “Bark Bark” Animatic: nearly 3 years in the works but it’s chugging . . . there were complications with the cameos involved that hurt my motivation and the progress, but it’s still in the works haha…

“Haunted House” Vent Animatic: This is 2/3s of the way complete! As it’s something personal, I worked on it quickly after a certain event, but I’d still like to finish it. <3

New Hyperfixation: Surprise reveal! It’s Wreck-It Ralph (and specifically Hero’s Cuties). It won’t be a huge thing, but I’d like to doodle here and there, open requests for it, and draw up three AU designs that have been in my mind for nearly 13 years.

@theairshipexperiment : Yes yes, I knowwwwwwwwwwwww y’all are mad at me. It’s been three years and I still get people upset that it hasn’t continued. It’s not completely canceled, just very very slowww. I’m nearly done writing chapter 3, but that means there’s 7 chapters to go. At least I’ve started giving myself completely random reminders for times to write haha. It’s my only writing project atm, but writing takes so much more effort from me than art, I’m sorry.

@absurdamongus : Very low on my list, but I still enjoy their designs and would one day like to continue finishing their refs and maybe reopen an ask blog. An animated series would still be cool, but it’d be a long way off if so.

So yeah, a lot of projects and a lot of excitement! I’m going at a fair pace (when I’m not sick) and art continues to be my passion! <3

Can I request demon Jaehyun with a cane? 🥺 The 2 baddies teaser gave that vibe

Pairing: Jaehyun x You

Genre: Hades x Persephone retelling, suggestive

Word Count: 1k

A/N: I felt this deeply. Idk which genre you wanted, so I hope this is okay? 💓

“Do you really have to leave?”

You cupped your little sister’s cold cheeks. Her breath was forming white clouds in front of her slightly opened mouth while she desperately clung onto you. A snowflake landed on the top of her red nose, melting instantly.

The freezing wind brushing over your bare fingers made you shiver, the coldness already sitting deep in your bones as it had been too long since you had last experienced snowfall on earth. Snowfall meant that you finally had to leave.

“I’ll be returning in spring. When the first flower blooms, I’ll be back. And then, you’ll be all grown up already.”

“I’ll wait here for you.”

You smiled. “It won’t be too long, promise.”

In the underworld, there was no such thing as winter or spring, no such thing as sun or light. There was only darkness where demons lurked, and the one having captured you was the darkest of them all.

“Every year, you’re coming back a day later and later,” he said, sitting lazily on his throne with one leg draped over the armrest and the other stretched away in front of him. His cane swung rhythmically in his hand as he tapped it against the ground as though rebuking you, again and again. “Maybe I should do something about it.”

“I leave by the first snowfall and return when the first flower blooms,” you hissed. “There is nothing you can do about nature.”

“Uh-oh.” His eyes widened playfully. “Are we getting defiant? Is this how you greet me nowadays after our long time apart?” He tapped with his cane against his throne right where he had rested his foot that was dressed in thick leather boots. “Come here.”

Oh, the things he could do with that cane.

You let out a nearly inaudible sigh and approached him with shaky steps, only being able to make out the path by the few, dim candlelights. You didn’t remember it being so dark in here, but perhaps only because you had spent so much time outside this season, it would be hard on you adapting your eyes again for the next few months.

“Did you miss me?” he breathed into your ear when you settled on his lap after having stepped up to his throne, and despite you wanting to say ‘no’ so desperately, these words weren’t able to escape your lips. Your back rested against his chest, your legs spread over his, but he was still way taller than you.

“Yes,” was the truthful answer you gave him, and not only because you were prohibited from lying in here.

His tattooed fingers lifted up the hem of your skirt and grazed over your naked thigh where he freed you from the fabric. He had touched you uncountable times already, but every time he still did so, you weren’t less surprised by how such a devious creature was able to touch so tenderly. And you spoke of “creature” for a reason, because there was no chance a normal human being could have done all the things he did to you and still left you unbruised and even craving for more.

“Tell me about the outer world,” he whispered, and his fingers brushing up and down your inner thigh suddenly rendered your mouth dry when he dragged them close to your nether regions, on full purpose, causing goosebumps to spread all over your skin.

Yet, you tried to speak as clearly as you could into the empty hall, “Spring is full of pastel colors mixing with the loveliest smells of flowers, trees and fruits as the earth slowly awakens from a deep, winterly slumber, mankind along with animals. Summer offers you the longest and warmest days of the year, most of the time spent outside where you can seek for refreshment by jumping into a lake when it gets too hot.”

“Humans do that?” You still felt his breath on your shoulder blade, but knew him well enough by now that his brows had risen out of curiosity as he had also halted his touches. “Jumping into lakes, because it’s so hot?”

You nodded. “Just like you do it here with the hot springs, but only because they’re too hot outside.”

“Interesting. What about autumn?”

“Autumn is when humans work the hardest, reaping and preparing for the hard winter. It’s full of vibrant colors too, in red, orange and yellow as the leaves start to fall and cover the earth. But then you blink and the spectacle is all over, everyone only waiting for the first snow to fall.”

By now, he had resumed stroking you and was already paying extra attention to the sensitive spot between your legs that was luckily still hidden by what remained of your dress. Stiffening on his lap, you didn’t shake him off. You never had, it just felt too good every time.

“We’re not bound by a spell or a deal as you’ve already broken it. You earned your freedom fairly.” He pressed a kiss on your naked shoulder blade, his hands then wrapping around your middle, pressing you into his body. This gesture was not lewd or hid any other ulterior intention than to express to you that he had genuinely missed you as his voice had also softened. “Why do you keep coming back?”

One wouldn’t expect a woman to always return to the demon who had taken her from her world and kept her in the underworld just because he had fallen for her instantly when he had secretly roamed the earth and spotted her on an early spring day, picking flowers. You were free to return to your family above - forever. You just didn’t.

You quickly got up and turned around before you settled back on his lap, this time straddling him from the front and slinging your arms around his neck. It didn’t help that you felt him harden against your core at this moment, because although this was one of the reasons you were corrupted to the point of never being able to experience satisfaction so greatly with another, human man anymore, there was something else keeping you tied to him.

His honest eyes that were so dark, they seemed inscrutable. But you were able to look behind them whenever you talked about earth and home and detected the tiniest of sparkle in them. He also didn’t want to be here, but was tied to this place with his life.

And you had vowed to be by his side - as his wife.

“Because otherwise you’d be lonely.”

Against your back, you felt him pressing into your muscles with the thick, round end of the cane, the smallest flicker of sparkle in his eyes entirely gone when he gripped hard into your thigh with his free hand. His gaze had turned sinister.

Oh, the things he could do with this cane.

Limits

Some days I wish to be one of my paintings

Fluid colors trapped in beautiful liminal space

And all they are is my mind poured onto canvas

My heart beating through the brush

The world being to much it bubbles up and overflows into the messy pages of my sketchbook

My pain turned to watercolor bleeding through the pages

Entire notebooks filled to the brim with pen scratched heartache

And endless renderings of your perfect face

Some days I wish I could wash away

I could drown in my paint cup and be whisked down the drain

Or maybe sat on the counter left to slowly evaporate until the sadness breaks

I wish to be in long forgotten sketch pads

Laden with long forgotten teenage dreams

I can jump through hope for the future

That leaves me longing for the past

I wish to be art

Trapped beneath always clean glass

Or maybe in a Bansky watching the world slowly pass

And I’ll be labeled graffiti and painted over

But come back again in a crayon drawing on someone’s mothers fridge

I wish to be limitless

@jasper-the-menace has a blind date with...

Trevan the Fairy

Trevan is of average human height, with the ruddy, patterned wings of an atlas moth and deeply tanned skin. He is a proud knight of the Seelie Court and walks with a magical glass rapier at his hip. He rarely visits the human world and is ordinarily very contemptuous of mortal affairs, but once he saw you through a magic mirror he couldn’t stay away.

Trevan is a master swordsman and fights with style, finesse, and clear joy. He loves to teach his chosen skill to other Seelie folk, and is eager to show off for you and talk about his pupils’ accomplishments. He is 100% willing to throw down the gauntlet and fight a duel for your honor, and is secretly a tiny bit disappointed that nobody has dared to take him up on that yet.

He isn’t much of a reader himself, but he has gone on many quests to recover bits of knowledge and find the answers to various riddles. He has a deep respect for your literary habits and is quick to come to you whenever he has a burning question about something regarding the mortal world.

Trevan sees video games and tabletop games as ways of training one’s mind and finding strategies for overcoming obstacles. He has a personal weakness for rhythm games, however, and can be entertained by them for hours. They help him discover new human music, which he is slowly coming to enjoy just as much as fairy music.

Trevan loves your feistiness and argumentativeness. He’s always down for a good debate over any subject he has even a passing knowledge of, and will give as good as he gets. He browses the wikis of your favorite games so that he can be informed about those topics (ironically, he knows less about IRL human history), although he doesn’t just mindlessly agree with your opinions.

“These crystals are very beautiful. I think you will find them useful in your craft,” a spritely voice said to the two young women eyeing the rose quartz display in the rock shop. You turned around and narrowed your eyes at the salesperson. For a second, out of the corner of your eye, you could have sworn that he had large moth wings.

“Oh, we’re just making jewelry,” one of the women said. “Everyone loves the healing vibes of crystals these days.”

The salesperson smiled politely. “Indeed.” He looked down at the small bag of greenish stone with whorls of deeper color that the woman was holding. “Are you aware that malachite isn’t safe to handle when wet? That might not be a good choice for jewelry.”

The other woman snorted. “So? People will buy, which means we’re going to sell.”

“Are you sure?” the salesperson asked, and something about his voice seemed a little bit… off. For a moment, the eyes of the two women unfocused, and then they came back to themselves and blinked hard.

“You’ve got a point,” one said. “Maybe… maybe we should do some more research before we start selling crystal jewelry on Etsy—for poisoning liability if nothing else.” They returned the bag to the counter and left the shop.

You squinted at the salesperson, and once again got a glimpse of wings. He turned and smiled at you. “Can I help you?” he asked.

“Yeah,” you said. “Who are you really?”

The fairy knight snapped his fingers, dropping his glamor for your eyes alone, and struck an elegant bow in the center of the shop floor. “I am called Trevan by certain friends,” he said. “And who might you be, mortal?”

You knew better than to give your real name to a fairy, and told him a nickname instead. The fairy laughed, apparently delighted at your cunning. “Clever!” he said. “I think we will be good friends. Can you help me learn about the human world?”

“I’ll consider it,” you mused, “for a price.”

Trevan smiled. “You are refreshingly un-generous,” he said. “Let us talk of what services I might render you, and what knowledge you will give me in exchange.”

see here to get your own blind date with a monster!

The Dark Prince

Series: Dark Elf

Fandom: The Royal Romance

Pairings: None yet

Rating: R

Warnings for this chapter: Dark themes, mature themes

Word Count: 850

A/N: This is from my list/wheel prompt asks.

This one was from @tessa-liam and is for Liam x Dark x Fall so she gets partial credit/blame for me launching a whole new series. (Maybe a miniseries, we'll see how it goes)

A/N 2: Special shoutout to @bebepac for letting me borrow the name Nicolai for one of Liam's middle names. It's one of my favorite names!

My other stuff: Master List.

The citizens of Cordonia viewed their younger prince with equal parts fascination and fear.

Liam Nicolai Ulysses Augustus Rys was striking in appearance. He had an almost otherworldly beauty and grace about him.

Some of the older, more superstitious, citizens swore he had an ethereal glow about him in the right lighting.

His pale complexion was no surprise. It was a family trait he shared with both his father and his older brother.

What set him apart from the rest of his family, and made for a striking contrast, was his raven black hair and eyes the color of coal.

No human has truly black eyes, just shades of brown so dark they appear black.

But then, Liam was not precisely human.

No one dared say it out loud, but the whispered rumors held that Constantine had been seduced by a mysterious raven haired woman that had shown up at court one day, bringing with her an influx of crows to the area.

They had carried on for months, right under his wife’s nose, until one day, she just vanished, taking the crows with her.

The gossip mill churned out stories ranging from the queen having her killed to her having thrown the king over for a younger man to Constantine sending her away in shame because she was pregnant.

One thing everyone did agree on was that Liam looked just like her, despite the story given out that the queen bore another son.

“She’ll never accept this child as her own!” The king protested.

“She will.” The woman said as she sprinkled a faintly glowing red powder into a pewter mug, “Make sure she drinks this, it will give her the false memory of pregnancy and birth. She will love him and raise him as her own. I would not leave him with you otherwise.”

“How can you abandon your own child?”

“Surely you know that I can’t keep him. He’s half human. He’ll never be accepted by my people, he’s better off here, with you, among your kind that don’t know his true nature.”

“You could stay here too!” Constantine pleaded, “I’ll divorce her, make you my queen!”

The raven haired beauty tipped her head back and laughed, “I have no desire to rule here in your realm. Now that my mother is ready to pass on the Corvid crown, I have my own kingdom to rule. I’ll miss you, my king.”

She tossed a glittery blue powder into the air, it swirled around her, becoming opaque.

“Eleanor!” He cried as he clutched the infant to his chest, “Wait!”

But it was too late, when the air cleared, she was gone.

No one knew for sure who the woman had been, but if you asked the oldest townspeople, those who had grown up in a time where magic was more open, more visible they would tell you she was Eleanor Gulduron, the crow queen, ruler of the dark elves.

Tonight, Liam stood on the raised dais at the front of the ballroom surveying the guests at the annual masquerade ball.

His brother was expected to pick a wife sometime within the next year. These little soirees were always well attended by hopeful young women eager to be queen.

It was the perfect cover for what he needed.

Liam had inherited longevity from his mother, he couldn’t die from old age or disease, but thanks to his human side he could still be killed by violence, and that just wouldn’t do.

He needed a spell, a dark one, that would make him impervious to injury, rendering him truly immortal. Like the rest of the elves.

He had spent the last two years studying dark magic, gathering supplies and preparing for the ritual that would grant him his wish. There was just one thing left that he needed and Maxwell Beaumont had procured it for him.

“Ah, Lord Beaumont! How kind of you to accept my invitation!”

“Your Majesty,” The younger Lord Beaumont gave a curt bow, “When my prince calls, I come.”

“I have a mission for you.”

He watched her from across the room as she moved gracefully and fluidly around the dance floor.

Riley Brooks.

The answer to his prayers.

It was late October, almost halfway between the autumnal equinox and the winter solstice.

The veil was thinning, the time of the wild hunt was quickly approaching, and the next full moon was his moment.

He had the chalice, he had the altar, he had the ceremonial blade, he had the sacred clearing in the woods behind the palace, he had all the components for the spell except the one that had to stay in its container until it was time for it to be spilled…

His eyes fell again on Riley as she giggled breathlessly at the edge of the dance floor with the lady from Shanghai, Hana Lee. The two women were chatting animatedly as they laughed, one of them completely oblivious to the danger she was in.

It was the entire reason she had been invited to the palace.

Her blood, he needed her blood.

Bryan with lava eyes :DDD

It’s been a while since I fully colored smth :,)

Here’s the Sketch and the one with a background!

I attempted to make lava. I’m not sure if it went well lmao.

I also don’t know how to draw or render muscles but BUFF BRYAN SUPREMACY!

HE IS SLIGHTLY TONED BUT HE CAN FLATTEN A STONE FUCKING COUNTER THATS CANON FIGHT ME

Honestly, I’m not sure if I can write this AU. With confidence I mean. I already got like a 15k word outline going on and it’s still going and it’s been like that for the past 3 years. Yeah. Pretty crazy. But if I can’t write this then I might resort into posting a bulleted list on what I should’ve written in the betterment of those 3 years instead of making a long ass outline to get it out into the world.

I love this AU, you have no idea, but it is so hard to write. So bear with me. I’ll give a bit of insight into it.

• This is a canon divergence of the canon timeline where instead of Bryan taking the hit, it’s Molten taking the hit. (My guy is not having a great time. Both of them.)

• This AU is canon defiant to the actual lore in Bryan’s series. A lot actually. This is a bit more canon compliant to the Fnaf storyline. Focusing more on spirits and souls than portals and portal magic. Soul juice produced from murdered children. All that good stuff. Don’t get me wrong, I love the series but I wish it focused on the souls of the kids and their stories if only a little.

• Let’s say there are a lot of hidden secrets in the old pizzeria that Bryan would carry to his grave. Most of them is guilt. The other is shame borderlining to self loathing.

• “No one would ever believe you.” :)

• This AU’s pov is also on the animatronics side. Mostly Freddy, Helpy (the old one), and maybe probably Foxy (the Rockstar one) I miss them, okay?

• Pat is around too. Watching over the animatronics while getting deathly afraid of them for a definite period of time before making friends with them because wow, those robots aren’t actually gonna force them into a Freddy Fazbear suit. Why did they listen to a pre-recorded message anyway?

• Jon is the one that stumbles onto the secret. But its not complete. He wonders where he should find the other pieces.

• You know OG Freddy? How he was repaired? Yeah. That part wasn’t the only thing that brought him back to life.

• And the monitor Lefty stole from the pizzeria? Maybe Egg Baby? Wonder whats that for?

• The book that Bryan gave to Twisted Bonnie also changed. Still has the blueprints of the animatronics but of different animatronics.

• “Hmmmm, I wonder what I can do for Baby’s birthday? How can I make it her happiest day of her shortlived li—wait, can I even say that?????”

• Also, does anyone know what happened to Twisted Freddy? Did he just become the wind or what? We’ll see.

• Since Lefty didn’t die, let’s say Shadow Freddy had other places to be. And Twisted Wolf? Honestly forgot about that guy hahaha I’ll think of something.

• Oh! EB (Evil Bryan) is there too! Like actually.

• It’s quite funny to have two short humans going on offense while literal monsters go on support and defense lmao. What a bunch of losers.

• “See you on the flipside!”

• Hey. What’s up with Bryan’s eyes?

That’s all for now. Maybe I’ll post another one or work on a chapter? Who knows…

I can’t promise anything. I can only promise that the next will take a whileeeeeeee, a post or a chapter.

I still have not named this AU and marked it as INSERT TITLE HERE.

And to those that recognize that title, I am so sorry. I literally redid the first 5 chapters, finished 4, then dropped it off at chapter 7-8. Chapter 1-4 are finished but 5-8 is a land mine. I don’t know how to keep it going lmao. No really, it’s a struggle writing this dang thing and I want it out of my head too. I can’t promise any chapters or that I’m working on it because I’m so busy but I did not forget it if thats what you’re thinking. It’s just hard to write. Like really hard. That’s why I focused a bit on oneshots.

One things for sure though. It’s either chapter 5, 6, or 7 BUT—

Minigames. Plus Springtrap.

ITH!Bryan: Oh joy.

Feel free to ask questions about this AU! I’d be happy to answer! (Most of them anyway. Can’t reveal everything.)

Am I really so indecisive that I’m posting three versions of the exact same, uncleaned picture? Yes, yes I am. Feel free to judge. This is for @playerappreciationweek’s day 4 prompt, “I’m happy in my dark little cave”! To no one’s surprise, I have no self control and am turning all of these prompts into opposite-of-actual-context angst. Those are supposed to be The Cleaners in the back, but the general concept is VILE violating the presumed-safe space that is Player’s room. There’s something so personal about them invading his home and I love it. Also I will never be over the fact that they nevER foUND hIM in canON. This was mostly experimental but I think for the most part it worked out decently! I completely skipped the sketching and lineart phases at first, which was interesting and definitely made things harder, but I think it also made me more willing to go with the flow and be messy. Maybe one of these days I’ll actually post something I’ve fully sketched, lined, colored, and rendered but today is not that day haha.

Eggtober 12 Avocado Toast (Featuring Tomato and, of course, Fried Egg.) Clip Studio Paint, Gouache Brush, Dry Gouache Brush, Airbrush (for the barely visible bread texture) and Freckle Pen (for the pepper.) 20 colors, 1 hour 30 minutes. Took a little longer on this one because I spent an inordinate amount of time lovingly rendering the tomato that I knew no one was going to get to see in the final product. (Don’t worry, I saved it to another layer since @quezify said last time that he appreciated the peek behind the curtain.) This was another request by a friend. I must say, I wake up every day excited to choose an egg from the many options I have available and just... have fun putting it down on (digital) paper. I’ve got some yammering about that, but since I’m already going to post a “behind the scenes” under the cut, I’ll shove the musings down there too. As always, big thanks to the Egg Master Supreme, @quezify for organizing this. It’s wonderful to see so many people getting into art again or branching out and drawing eggs for the first time, all because one zany dude said to Tumblr “You know what? Let’s paint eggs for a month.” And enough of us said “Hell yeah” that I get to see so many different styles and mediums. Loving every moment of it!

(Art first, because LOOK AT THOSE TOMATOES! I love how they came out, I want to shove them in my mouth! AAAH!) Now for the rambling musings. I’m starting to get really comfortable with the gouache brush, a tool which I previously never used, and I’m also getting more comfortable with art in general. My usual process from childhood, when I did much more art, was to slap down pencil work on real life sheets of paper, line it in pen or photograph/scan it and upload it to my computer to line with the pen tool, and then just do everything with pen for bright, solid colors. Most of my other techniques were one off flukes, like the fire I did in my icon’s background. And my newer process, as an adult who just started learning Clip Studio Paint, was fairly similar. (I just started with CSP recently because it came free with my newest tablet and my old standard, Photoshop Elements [I dunno the version, 7 maybe?], was too old and would resize on my new rig so all the buttons were SO GODDAMN SMALL it was a pain to use.) The only difference is that, as an adult who’s home more often than not, I skipped the paper. Sketch, linework with the pen tool, then color under the line art with pen. Or, for a certain other project, I color under the line art with the watercolor brush. I’ve always wanted to try gouache because I’ve seen it worked with IRL and it’s got such pretty results! Opaque like acrylics and oils but flows like watercolor. I suppose it never occurred to me to look for it in the toolset. The last time I even used brushes meant to represent real media before CSP was when Corel Painter was a thing and I had it with my very first drawing tablet. And even then I didn’t use it often. I mostly used the watercolors because that was my favored medium IRL. But I quickly started to prefer Photoshop Elements which also came with my first tablet. And slowly I stopped using anything resembling traditional mediums. But I figured, hey, Eggtober is already a time for me to learn some new tricks and get some practice in, watercolor will look too translucent and it has a paper texture to it that I’m not sure I want. Let’s see if this thing has Gouache. And it did. And now it’s my favorite brush. The way it blends naturally, the ease of pressure controls so the opacity is easy to alter stroke by stroke. It feels like laying down real paints. Once I got used to how it behaved it just... clicked. So yeah, now that I know how to work with it and now that I had the brain explosion necessary to figure out my new process of laying down the darkest colors first and working my way up, it was all too easy to go “Oh. I like laying down these colors. And instead of trying to predict where I’m going to put the avocado, I’m just going to draw the full tomatoes for fun and practice and then figure out the avocado slice placement.” And then I spent roughly 45 minutes just... adding detail to tomatoes. Because it was a genuine joy and I was smiling the whole time and I could just look at those juicy tomatoes forever. So yeah, I know I say it every time, but I for real owe quezify everything for giving me a reason to pick up a new tool and learn and just have fun with it. Kicking my depression’s ass, my ADHD’s ass, my artblock’s ass, and my (lack of) motivation’s ass, all with the power of “Egg fun, draw egg.”

#Eggtober 2022 #Eggtober 12 #Fried Egg #Avocado Toast #Tomatoes #my art #I'm just having so much fun with art #For these last 12 days I've fallen into a world where depression doesn't exist and COVID isn't floating around outside #For the last 12 days I've lived in a magical world that's just egg #no bad things #no sadness #just egg #I love Eggtober

hello🪿☕️

Hour art is beautiful. I saw your latest drawing and was wondering if you have any tipps on improving digital art skills?

have a great day 🌬️✨

thank you!!

I’m honestly not really sure, I’m not the greatest at giving tips but I’ll do my best I guess.

- References… reference images save my life 💀 months ago, maybe even a year ago, I was using references and practicing by tracing over my reference to get a feel of where specific parts of the face were and how they were shaped. That tends to help!!

- Studies. I also did a lot of screencap redraws and studies in early-mid 2023. I tried getting colors as close as I could without color picking them, but also checked to see how close I got them and making the adjustments I needed in order to get it closer. That helped my sense of color theory in a way? You think it might be one color but really it’s different, like a blue tone in the face may look blue but it’s just a dulled orange.

- Try out different brushes and tools, some may work or feel better to you than others! I used to (and still sometimes do) switch between brushes for my lineart, but I’ve stuck with the same rendering/coloring brush.

honestly idk what else. my brain is failing me rn ‼️‼️

I also don’t give the best tips in general so 🔥 that’s all I really have

Be Prepared: Chapter 9 Preview

Could Never Be King

Emery’s cane and blade clattered on the ground as she did her best to keep Leona from falling, putting a hand on his chest to try and steady him. She couldn’t help but wonder what caused this all to happen in the first place. It seemed to be out of nowhere, but…

The moment that her hand came into contact with Leona, Emery could feel a small ripple of magic in the air. The world burst into a bright white light that rendered her temporarily blind. With a free hand, Emery rubbed at her eyes to try and get it to go away. What was going on…?

When she felt it safe to open her eyes again, she was no longer in Savanaclaw’s stadium nor was she supporting Leona. Everything had become black and white. Her surroundings swirled with various shades of the colors and of gray before solidifying into something new. Emery stood there, staring at what she was beholding. It was a long hallway, and outside Emery could see a long stretch of a savannah.

This was… oddly familiar. Being brought here, the light… Didn’t something similar happen after Riddle’s overblot, too? Emery remembered placing her hand on him and then finding herself in his childhood home, but… That was just coincidence, right?…seeing this now, she was starting to wonder if it might not have been at all.

Back then, Emery had been in this strange world with Riddle. Was he a part of this? Or--

She turned when she heard the sound of echoing footsteps behind her. Leona was not too far away, with his back towards her. He had returned to normal, and he along with her were the only two beings to carry any sort of color. Emery took a few steps forward, unsure what to do except to follow. Eventually, Leona came to a stop at a corner, placing his hand on the wall. There was a young boy next to him, hiding in the shadows.

Emery’s eyes widened. The boy was Leona himself, perhaps no more than twelve years old. Just like before with Riddle, except this time it seemed to be Leona’s turn. Emery could hear voices as she grew closer. There were three people in the hall that Leona was glaring at. With the way they were dressed, it felt safe to assume that they worked here.

“His Highness Prince Falena is such a bright and cheerful young man,” said one of them. “I don’t understand why Prince Leona is so hard to please… He always seems to be in some sort of mood.”

“And he possesses such a terrifying power…” said another. Out of the corner of her eye, Emery could see the younger Leona tremble from his hiding place, looking down at his own two hands as if they were a deadly weapon. She looked down at her wrists -- still bandaged from having King’s Roar used on them. “Imagine being able to turn anything or even anyone into sand…!”

The third servant quickly hushed the other two. “Keep your mouths shut! What if someone overhears you?!”

Emery heard a small growl coming from Leona, his fingers digging into the wall as his glare burned with hatred at the three of them. His younger self couldn’t take what he heard anymore. Tears brimming his eyes, the boy ran off down the hall, phasing right through Emery as he did so. She could hear the sounds of the servants as they realized their mistake and tried to go after the prince.

Even if they didn’t realize Leona had been listening, they never should have said that about a child. It was horrible.

“Maybe if I were the crown prince, they’d be singing a different tune,” the present day Leona seethed. “‘His Highness Leona is a thoughtful and extremely formidable mage… just look at how he controls powerful magic! I don’t understand how Falena can be so carefree.’” Leona huffed, shoving his hands deep into his pockets. “But I ended up being born second instead. No matter what I do, they find a fault in it. They use their nitpicking to praise my brother instead. I’ll never be the greatest in their eyes…”

…that was right… In the chaos, something had slipped Emery’s mind. Leona had compared Riddle to his brother right before he… Emery had no idea that there was this much animosity towards his own sibling in Leona’s heart. It didn’t help that others seemed to be comparing them for nearly all his life. Emery saw a perfect example of it right now.

The full chapter will be up on Ao3 on December 23rd!
