I know the K***ners are problematic (to put it mildly), but I can't help but feel like J*sh isn't a whole villain here. His arrangement with Karlie has helped protect Taylor. It's mutually beneficial. Imagine how difficult family planning would have been if Karlie didn't have the appearance of a steady partner? Imagine both she and Taylor having to constantly switch out beards (it's bad enough that Taylor does that). I'm not saying he hasn't done shady things, but I like that Karlie seems comfortable around him and that he's been a stable cover for her for so many years. At the very least, his face doesn't bother me as much as Killa Trav's does.

That said, I know so little about so many things related to his family. What are your thoughts?

I go back and forth on this. I don’t really know. His family sucks. I’ve seen rumors his brother is a literal pedophile. Being connected to Trump is also terrible. The business side of things is shady. It all adds up to… at the very least, him looking the other way on bad behavior, regardless of whether he’s a nice person or not.

But at the same time, I agree with some of your points. Sometimes, I wonder if he’s just a sad little gay man who chose money over truth out of fear. I think he might be a little weak backboned and Karlie has helped give him a leg to stand on. Like, “Oh you think I’m the weak one? Look at this gorgeous, kind, confident, smart woman I have as my partner.”

I don’t know. Sometimes I think he really is just Karlie’s best friend. And has been there for her through this, as much as she has for him. I’ve gotten the impression that Karlie isn’t much of an actress. She trips over words when she’s nervous, which makes me think she has to feel some level of comfort with him to play this up for so long.

And then he does shit like posts Karlie as Dorothy and posts giant portraits of rainbows in his office… and I’m like… hmmm maybe he really is helping them out?

But I also believe there are definitely some sketchy people who have been messing with Taylor behind the scenes. Who knows if we’ll ever find out who it is. Who knows if his name or other family members will come up.

At the end of the day, I don’t know. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I just wish Tay and Kar could be free to be themselves. I miss seeing them together.

They create something quite magical when in the same room together.

I’m back with the music recs. This artist is relatively new, but if you like emo, early 2000s, Incubus, Blink 182, etc., I recommend giving him a listen/follow! He’d a super chill guy and got amazing vibes

I notice how you draw Harry and James is pretty different from how they look in game. I was curious how you decided their looks. It's interesting to hear about that sort of thing if you don't mind answering. Thanks

hi anon!! :3 thanks for the ask!! i will do my best to explain myself LOL but no promises it'll make any sense >:3c!

so let's go on a fun lil' art journey, anon. grab a granola bar and some gatorade, and c'mon!!!

well first and foremost: i am a NOTORIOUS "i do what i want"-er. going off the beaten path to the beat of my own drum is my favorite thing to do!

.. that said!! as i've mentioned before, actor Josh Charles was my first PB/"cast" for Harry Mason.

and my very first piece of silent hill fanart (march 10, 2018) really reflects that, LOL

incredibly, and almost a full year later to the date, i drew and posted this on march 4, 2019. now THIS is actually the closest canon-Harry i've ever drawn. (this was also around the start of the SH RP i was doing with a friend, which then spawned GOOMT lol.)

april 25, 2019. first color piece for any SH art and my first "real" time drawing james. this is also the last time you'll see him with his bangs on the "correct" side LOL.

april 30, 2019. the SH RP is still going on, and this is where i'm starting to get a better handle on what i want them to look like. Harry also gets a maroon sweater. he's also notably thinner here, and still has a lot of Josh Charles vibes.

sept 22, 2019. james sunderland thinnest browns edition. the bangs will be drawn on the right from now on.

(the only reason why they're on the right is because i forgot which way his hair actually parted. oops.)

the RP has ended. the first chapter of GOOMT is written a tumblr post and subsequently posted to tumblr october 3, 2019. i write/pst chapters 1 - 4 in the following days, then draw them again:

james's jacket is still short (but at least he has eyebrows!!); harry is still thin(ner). he's also got more of a canon-harry super low cut sweatervest.

ch 5, 6 is written/posted to tumblr. i draw and post this on october 27, 2019. please clap for my art journey LMAO

you'll also notice hte presence of A Knife. this is actually Angela's knife. shhh. ;)

still figuring out what they look like in goomt here tbh.

stuff from the following week. more figuring out! DRASTICALLY different Harry, too! still very Josh Charles-y, but starting to take on his own look as well. (note his greys!!)

i like DILFs. i like dad bods. he was intended to be a little soft around the middle.

it's not until January 2020 that i draw these idiots again:

very different nose for james lmao.

this is actually my first full body for both in awhile.

(i'm redoing this :3)

also more "accurate" debut of Harry's jacket!! this jacket was ALWAYS intended to look/be bigger on him. i can't really explain why because i don't know, other than it felt right.

at this point i've figured out how i want Harry to look. his design elements are very simple, because i'm EXTREMELY self-indulgent and i really. REALLY like:

widow's peaks

big thick eyebrows

noses. big beak noses

old men

grey hair

(you can actually find this sort of pattern across my various OCs that you'll never find evidence of on my blog anymore haha except for Zach good luck tho. >:3c)

January then gets very busy in the art department for these guys.

Harry finally gets more of a pudge and starts to "look" like himself. James also starts to "look" like himself.

a note on james's bangs: i uhhhhhhh. Stylistically, i have a thing for drawing Big Hair and Tall Bangs. this is seen in my version of Jonathan Crane. but also my hair used to do the exact same bangs so are you really surprised.

(bonus pieces of abandoned James GOOMT character sheet from 2001. i might have the files somewhere if you guys want to see What Almost Was LMAO)

more from January 2020. rubs chin.

it isn't until the end of Janurary/beginning of February that Harry finally Gets Fatter.

i'd been very unused to drawing fat people until Harry, and had been struggling up until here with actually drawing a more accurate representation of his body type to the one i saw in my head!

the reason why i made him fat is because it made sense to me that he was. people change, and being a single father changed him a lot. (and also i recognize that the only reason why the Dead Harry model was lean in sh3 was because it was a recycled Dead James model and they were Legit not going to actually put too much thought into it otherwise lmfao)

march 2020. still getting used to drawing Harry's body type!! also: even tho James's jacket is Longer in my head, i'm still trying to draw it the game-canon length.

idk why.

August 2020, James long jacket hours!!! and Harry really getting his look.

and FINALLY, one of my FAVORITES i've ever done of these two!!:

james's jacket is short here (only bc i was a Dumbass and forgot to make it longer i think?? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ who's to say), but this is also the color debut for the backpack!!

(bonus Sept 16 2020 YOUNG HARRY CONCEPT from when he pierced his ears in the 90s thinking Jodi was going to find him soooo handsome. he sure is he cute huh)

BONUS MATERIAL:

attempted to re-do their character sheets back in 2021. this did not go as planned, and i was having a very hard year doing ANY personal art, so. gestures.

(sorry i had to put them up here like this it's just a screenshot of the two files in preview bc i'm Totally Incompetent when it comes to computers lmfao)

this is where we are now!! now as these are just sketches for their Newest character sheets, Harry is a liiittle different in the actual file and is is literally just a screenshot of what i've already posted like mentioned above lmao.

what it comes down to is this:

FOR JAMES

i actually just forgor what he looked like and didn't ref my art to what he looked like in-game. simple as that! LOL

in the initial RP, James was played by my friend, while i grabbed the reins to Harry, so i naturally preserved some of the base features of what my friend decided for James (lean, Super Sad And Wet, pale af). i slapped on the caterpillar brows (this is also a thing i'm historically known for in character design), did some tweaks, and also let James evolve himself as i became a better artist.

longer coat because Aesthetics that's why LOL. i don't like the short jacket he wears in game-canon and i needed GOOMT james to put his hands in his pockets like how i drew him above. Reasons.

he's also so pale because [REDACTED] and much thinner than his in-game model because he did Not take care of himself very well in those three years during Mary's illness. (it's also in his genetics: Frank is lean, too (however much taller than James, rip dude 😔))

FOR HARRY

switch from blue to maroon: i like maroon/burgundy. (i realize later that the color he wears is more on the side of burgundy but y'all i hate the color spectrum and it can definitely also be called maroon so it's maroon LOL) i also just thought it looked better on him. the only other reason i can think of as to why i changed it was because.. people change. this is a new era in his life. i kept it a (more modest, sh1 harry you whore <3) v-neck sweater as a nod to his game-canon but just.. changed it to maroon. probably just a designator.

he's fat because of reasons detailed above (fatherhood, life on the road, settling down, etc). and also because he's hot and he deserves that. self-indulgent.

hair, nose, elf ears: self-indulgent.

for Harry especially there are a lot of aspects about him that "almost were" but got cut out of his development for one reason or another an really he's better off that way. i really really don't like to force development or force a "look".

the main reason i guess above all else is that Harry looks so different than his game canon is because he's not that Harry anymore. and in sh3, you never see the guy's face: him dead. i can't even recall if i'd seen the dead Harry model in full before trying to hammer out what GOOMT Harry looked like. young GOOMT Harry would look a lot closer to what his game model looks like, tho. i can tell you that much :3 (one day i'll draw a Younger Harry but don't expect it anytime soon unless the inspiration REALLY strikes lmfao)

a lot of their changes are just not that deep, honestly. my vision for them comes from forgetting which way the bangs go (looks James), developign them in my head over time, The Vibes™️, and The Indulgences™️. i'm a creature of habit for sure in the character design department LOL but my world my puddle we play in it.

i should go to bed now!! but if you have any questions about something else or anything about their designs in particular PLS let me know!! i realy REALLY love this question and wanted to answer it RIGHT NOW IMMEDIATELY (even tho it's been two hours since and I NEED TO GO TO BEEED DGLDFDFGDGFSKGDFDKGSDFGKH O O O P S ) SO i hope you enjoyed that little trip down memory lane (and my art tag archive LOL) and you have a good safe healthy and cool day :3c!!

#ches writes #my art #goomt #THANKS ANON1!#long post #yeah i decided to put it under a cut but IT IS LONG lmaaaooooo #good LORD ther's a lot of really old art in here. have fun!

Tribe syllables

Here's my cheat sheet for naming characters, cities, landmarks, and so on. It includes the original syllables for each tribe, as well as the ones I've added based on the culture each tribe is inspired by, since I didn't have enough syllables to work with. The canon ones will be listed first, followed by a semicolon, and then the ones I've added. Do as you wish with them. Also, either a dash or an apostrophe will be added in the syllables list if I use them in names.

Butter & Scotch 🧈🥃

Dinner was nice. Steak, peas, and mashed potatoes. It’s the type of meal that would leave anyone in a food coma. Yet Wyatt is wide awake. He has been twisting and turning in bed for the past hour, chewing on his cheeks and picking at his nails. Tony can hear everything. He’s been awake too. Not from the sounds of Wyatt tearing away the flesh on his cheeks but because he wants to be awake when Wyatt tells him what’s bothering him. He’s been like this since dinner, gnawing more on his nails than his steak.

Wyatt’s gotten better at talking about his feelings. If a waiter at a restaurant got his order completely wrong he wouldn’t even say anything. If someone cut him in line he would stand completely silent. He still does but he talks to Tony about it instead. Tony will tell the waiter that Wyatt ordered spaghetti, not a burger. Tony will tell the line-cutter to go to the back of the line. Tony would have fought the fucker when he decided to push him but stopped when he noticed Wyatt was chewing on his cheeks. Tony has come to know that Wyatt starts to bite his cheeks when he gets nervous. That and he starts to stutter even more when it gets worse. Wyatt is Tony’s anchor. Sometimes his emotions get the best of him and Wyatt reminds him to take a breath once in a while.

Wyatt pulls the covers up to his chin. He quickly glances at Tony and waits for a second to see if he is asleep (he’s not and he knows this). “Tony?”, Wyatt barely whispers out. “Yeah?” Wyatt pulls the covers down as Tony shifts over and faces him. “I’m ner-nervous for tomorrow.” Tony smiles and places his hand on his cheek. He’s been sweating, his face is sticky and clammy. Tony doesn't care, he brushes his thumb on the side of his face. Wyatt isn't looking at him in the eyes, it doesn’t bother Tony, he knows he’s paying attention. “Mi amor, there is nothing to fear. I promise sunshine. I will be ok, just a simple meeting.” He smiles softly and takes his hand off his face.

Their eyes meet. Wyatt is scanning Tony’s face while gathering his thoughts. Tony's hair curls at the ends, one of Wyatt’s favorite things. He always tries to slick it back like one of those greasers but Tony’s hair rebels and a small clump always falls out. Wyatt loves it.

He is still scared, his mind is racing. Tony is meeting with some “rival” gang leaders to discuss getting more supplies and resources for the “gang” he runs. (Tony’s “mafia” as he calls it is a group that includes him, Ema, and Zev that take care of queer teens and adults). Wyatt’s eyes snap back to Tony’s. “What if you get sh-shot? What if-” He stops himself, the thoughts in his brain racing too fast for him to process. Tony laughs sarcastically, “What, you think a bullet will stop the mighty Tony?!” He smiles and Wyatt is chewing on his cheek again, he can taste the blood by now. Tony sighs and they stare at each other. “Hey, when I get home, why don’t I grill up some burgers like we did on the 4th?” Wyatt stops chewing on his cheek and smiles. “Fries too?” Tony chuckles. “Fries too.”

Wyatt wakes up and Tony is already gone. It’s their anniversary, February 13th. Just a day before Valentine’s Day. He reluctantly gets out of bed and puts on a sweater. For the next couple of hours until around 6 pm, Wyatt wanders around the house. For the first couple of hours it was fine, he ate breakfast, read a bit, and cleaned. By 6 pm he was getting worried. Tony was supposed to be here by 5 for their anniversary dinner. “Maybe the meeting is just running longer than he said”, Wyatt thinks.

It’s 9:34. Wyatt is pacing around the house chewing the healing wound in his cheek from last night. ��It’s ok, they’re just running late.” Wyatt walks to the kitchen and makes himself some tea, a trick that Tony suggested he does when he’s not around. He can hear Tony’s voice in his head, “Whenever you start to feel all freaked out, you can make some tea. I know it doesn't really help all that much but just imagine the warmth from the tea is a big hug from me!” Wyatt smiles and starts to calm down.

Wyatt checks the time. The clock reads 9:47. The moonlight is passing through the window blinds. A long sigh comes from Wyatt’s mouth as he sips his tea. There’s a knock at the door. Wyatt’s eyes shoot up from his cup. “Tony!”, he shouts as he slides the mug on the counter and races over as he almost trips over the couch trying to open the door. He unlocks the door and swings it open with such force that he bumps himself in the head. He’s dazed but as he opens the door fully he says, “Tony! I was worried you got hurt or something!” At the door are Ema and Zev. Wyatt’s face drops, “Oh. Did To-Tony invite y-you guys over for din-dinner?”

There’s an overpowering silence. Zev puts his hand to his mouth and chokes out a small cry before he walks away. “I can’t do this, I can't.” Wyatt watches him and hears him sob as he walks away. His head shoots back to Ema. “W-w-what what-what what hap-happen-happened.” His eyes are big and glossed over. He can tell something is wrong. Ema looks at the floor. “He-…I-…” She looks up at Wyatt and grabs his hands. “Wyatt…I- I..”

Her eyes start filling with tears and even though she’s wearing pitch black sunglasses he can tell because big globs of tears start to stream down her face taking her mascara with it. Her legs start to wobble as she falls to her knees. “Wyatt I am so so sorry. I am so sorry…” She starts to sob. “I am so sorry Wyatt…” Wyatt takes his hands from hers. “What.” He is staring down at her on her knees, her sunglasses off and her hands over her eyes to shield her from his gaze. He already knows.

“Please…Ema…don’t.” He takes a step back. Ema stares up at Wyatt. “He’s dead Wyatt. We tried to- there were so many bullets, he…” Wyatt's heart is racing. “No! No! No! NO! NO! NO! NO NO NO NO NO NO!”

Wyatt is shrieking as he races back into the house. He falls to his knees and crumples as he holds himself into the fetal position. He’s pulling at his hair, chewing his cheeks, clawing at his face. “God! WHY! NO!” His words are barely audible as he sobs and chokes on his own spit, the air getting caught in his throat as he screams.

Wyatt covers his head with his arms and curls up tighter and just screams while he cries. Ema gets up but she’s still sobbing. She knew how he would react yet she was not prepared for it. How do you prepare yourself to tell your best friend's soulmate that they’re dead?

Ema takes off her heels and puts them at the door as she walks over to Wyatt on the floor. She lays down next to him and runs her fingers through the rug as she cries. She wipes the tears off her face and they stain her hand black with mascara.

Zev is in the doorway. Ema turns to look at him. He’s pale, she can tell he threw up. He sucks in his bottom lip and takes off his shoes. With a small sigh, he walks to the kitchen for some water.

Wyatt is still shaking and sobbing, repeating no like it’s a mantra that will change time and bring Tony back. He’ll wake up and Tony will be sleeping soundly next to him, it will all be a nightmare. The blood from his cheeks start to drip on the carpet.

Ema brushes the hair from his eyes and picks him up. (Wyatt isn’t light, Ema is extremely strong.) She wraps her arms around him as his head rests in her lap, she doesn’t even care about the blood starting to trickle down her skirt.

Wyatt is still crying and picking at his face. Zev comes over with water. He starts to hand it over to Ema but she shakes her head and mouths, “Not yet.” Wyatt is still crying in her lap but no tears are coming out. He is heaving out loud sobs as he lays there barely moving. Zev takes a seat next to Ema and rests his head on her shoulder.

It’s 10:13. The three are still sitting on the rug huddled together. Wyatt is sitting motionless, small whimpers coming from his mouth. Ema’s skirt is damp from his tears, spit, and blood.

Zev lifts his head from her shoulder and stands up, slowly dragging his feet to the table where he left the glasses of water. He comes back over with one, which Ema grabs. Wyatt's hands are flopped over her knees. “Wyatt…please drink some water…” He sits there and doesn't respond. Zev scoots over to him and rubs his back.

“Wy. I don’t know what to say other than I am sorry. I’m- We are-” He flicks his head away as he starts to cry again. “God Wy, I don’t know what to say.” Wyatt mumbles something. “Wyatt, why don’t you sit up and drink some water.” Ema runs her fingers through his hair and starts to prop him up. Wyatt repeats himself, louder this time, “I-I-I ap-p-appreciate you g-guys.” His eyes are puffy and his cheeks are smeared with blood.

Zev grabs his head and hugs him, resting his chin on his head. “I wish we could do more, I’m so sorry.” As he hands him the water Wyatt makes a small whimper. He takes a few gulps of water and gives the glass back to Zev. He tucks his knees in and places his chin on his knees. It’s quiet. They sit like this for a long time, neither of them wanting to make him move.

It’s 11:32. Zev fell asleep on the rug and Ema’s eyes are on Wyatt. She’s been watching him this whole time. Somehow today she lost two friends. She shifts over to Wyatt and rubs his back. “Hey. I think we should all get some rest. We’ll stay with you…if you like.”

Wyatt lifts his head from his knees, the bumps from his pants line his face with red marks. “I wou-would like tha-that that.” Ema smiles and places a kiss on the top of his head. The two of them walk to his bed.

“If you need anything, Wyatt, Zev and I will be down the hall, okay?” Wyatt doesn't say anything as he stares at the empty bed.

“Goodnight Wy.” She leaves the door open and the sounds of her feet fade out as she walks away.

It’s 11:43. Wyatt is in bed now, he stood at the side of the bed for quite some time after Ema left. He is staring at the ceiling, refusing to look at the empty dent in the bed next to him where Tony would have been. He knows if he looks he will cry again. He is so tired. His body takes control and his head shifts to look at the pillow where his lover's head once rested.

Wyatt didn’t sleep. The dark bags under his eyes were proof of that. He trudges out of his room to where the two are sleeping.

Ema didn’t sleep either. She’s pretending to sleep and Wyatt can tell. She stayed up to make sure Wyatt was safe, the dark circles and red eyes are evidence of that. He scoots next to her on the pullout bed on the couch.

Ema opens one eye and Wyatt is staring at her. She turns over and puts her hand on his cheek, rubbing her thumb over the dried tears from last night. They stay there for a while, silently staring, not needing words to know what the other is thinking.
