so basically there's a point in the RP where Khalan gets seriously wounded and almost dies (not surprising lol), and Melvin in the last minute decides to give his blood in order to keep Khalan alive :'0 but obviously, Mel is Monster Man so his blood is Magic™ and it ends up having a lot of strange effects on Khalan over time.
one of the more positive things to come about as a result of this is that Khalan ends up getting!!! the cute little star freckles that Mel also has!!! :'D so he gets to match with his new father figure and that just gets my heart SO good;;
so yeah! I had to try drawing this concept, plus a mini "comic" of sorts where Mel notices the freckles for the first time, because the idea was just too precious to pass up :'0

Send your favorite character a letter or message for Valentine's Day, and they'll send a letter or message back! It can be a declaration of love, a time and date to meet up, or anything else you can think of! Feel free to get as creative as possible!
Thinfs to Acknowledge...
Everything will be posted on Valentine's Day, on February 14th 2023.
Send 'Letter Event' letters/messages into my ask inbox or as a personal message before Valentine's Day.
In your letter/message, please be sure to include the character you're addressing, as well as your name (or a fake name) so the character knows who to write to. If you don't put your name, that is perfectly fine; at the very least, include the name of the character you're addressing.
For this event, you can ask for any character to write for you! If it's a character that isn't on the pinned post, please include what fandom they're in so I know who you're talking about!
Get creative as possible! Whip out the good ol' camera and take a picture of a letter you wrote IRL, or go to ifaketextmessage.com and 'send' (screenshot) a message to your beloved character!
If you do write something by hand, please be sure that it's mostly legible! Or, send a transcript of what it says off to the side.
Example of what an ask may look like
💌 Hi there! This is for the event. The character I'm writing to is SpongeBob from the SpongeBob SquarePants show. (Dear Spongebob, I think you're very cute! Can we meet up? Love, Egg.)
"It may take some time, but eventually, you and I will both be right as rain again."
yet another Ravenwood RP sketch. this time of DAD MEL because I love him so much and I felt compelled to draw the good monster man again ;A;
of course this is kind of the aftermath of the one story arc that I've briefly mentioned a few times already (here and here, specifically). felt like touching on the soft recovery side of things with this one though. quiet scenes like this are something I always really love writing about, and heaven knows these characters need a moment of healing and peace after everything that happened;;

"The Blackening" is Millennials' Answer to the Void "Scary Movie" Left
"The Blackening" is Millennials' Answer to the Void "Scary Movie" Left
Content Warning: The Blackening contains racist imagery, drug use, and violence. There’s a great conversation throughout the film about gatekeeping blackness that is campy and fun but also extremely relatable. It’s Rated R, but surprisingly not that graphic. Soooooo . . . viewer discretion is suggested?
Spoilers for The Blackening ahead!
I’ll admit when I first started seeing trailers for The…
The scene where Matt goes to ask Melvin to fix his mask; either we’re supposed to assume Matt is ok with Melvin seeing his face (unlikely) or that Matt just planned to keep to the shadows which is what he does, but then there’s the issue of Matt really shouldn’t know where the shadows are
