Happy second anniversary to The Chara Timeline by @lilybug-02! I've been wanting to do some slightly Looking Glasses style fanart of these goobers for a while, and an anniversary seems like the perfect occasion.

Working on any project for two years, let alone a comic, is a huge achievement. I think sometimes it's tough to realize just how much work goes into creating a comic on your own, especially when you have other obligations. So congratulations on two years, and I'm looking forward to seeing where the comic goes from here!

#the chara timeline #it was really fun drawing these two #it's been ages since I've drawn a human #I really wanted to draw their dark world outfits but also Asriel's dorky sweater and I think found a good compromise #I've been thinking a lot about how much work goes into fan projects recently #especially as the Looking Glasses anniversary in just over two weeks aahh :O #and I think it's important to recognize how much people do for fandom #for free! #So thanks for making such a great comic lilybug! And for being a super cool person to interact with! #deltarune #asriel #chara

There are two modes for Harrier Du Bois~ bonus:

#so who wants to do Judit with a heron? #disco elysium #kim kitsuragi #guess who's got new inspiration babyyy #it started as a face study #and then I found out that harrier also means a bird of prey #so the idea for falconer Kim was born #someone probably done it before #the umbrella cockatoo is a compromise for in-game options #harry is just made of birds #ughhh #i'm so outta practise #but have so many DE comic ideas #maaan it's killin me

OBSESSED with the idea of KID coming into the Kudou mansion seeking refuge (either he got heavily injured or his idenity is compromised) but instead is met with Okiya Subaru, Kudou Yukiko, and Kudou Yusaku. (Conan is also there coincidentally because lady luck hasn't totally abandoned him yet, apparently, but Kaito is sort of distracted by the amount of non-conans in the house to appreciate it.)

one day (before akai moves in) conan drags kid's injured ass back into the kudou mansion to patch him up (and also to demand answers about the snipers in the heist)

kid refuses to tell more about the snipers and conan doesn't pry but keeps an offer of help open

it becomes an unspoken agreement that kid would go to conan if something out of his hand happens in relation to said snipers

by 'go to conan' conan meant go to him, the person, as in wherever location he was at. kid, on the other hand, thought he should come back to the kudou mansion.

months pass, subaru, yusaku, and yukiko come to occupy the kudou household.

kid, injured or identity compromised, sees the lights are on and assumes conan is inside. which well...he ISN'T WRONG (LOL)

kid goes in through the window of conan's room which startles conan who was there to pick something up in his room.

"What are you doing here?!" Conan scream-whispers in a panic.

KID stiffens and stares at him with something like betrayal in his eyes. "Oh, I see I'm not welcome here."

"No! No wait that's not what I meant. It's just, this is NOT the best time."

Someone knocks on the door and the two of them jump. KID's eyes widen in realization as Conan quickly drags and pushes him into a closet. "Don't make a sound." KID does a zipping motion across his lips and makes a show of throwing an imaginary key. Conan rolls his eyes at him before closing the door.

anyways, it was akai who went up to check on conan cause the 4 of them were in the middle of a discussion and conan was suspiciously taking too long.

whether kid gets caught by akai and the kudou fam or not, i have no idea, but either way I WANT IT.

although tbh i feel like akai and yusaku would sense someone else is inside and yusaku would know exactly who it is LOL

then again, whether kid is heavily injured, has his identity compromised, or both, is a big factor on how events will unfold. (and i love exploring each one so my brain is rotting pls someone send help)

#kaishin #kidco #detective conan #dcmk #kudou shinichi #kuroba kaito #dc prattles #SCREAMING CRYING CHOKING I LOVE THIS AU SO MUCH I THINK ABOUT IT TOO MUCH #i just love the thought of isolating conan and kid #but also love the thought of kid joining the kudou gang #also the thought of kaito hiding in the kudou household if his identity is compromised #yukiko would literally adopt him if she found out what his situation was #but also also kid having to live in his several safe houses and conan being the only one to visit #OH OH but also heavily injured kaito who cant move and obviously cant hide so akai and kudou fam find out about him anyways #OOOH BUT ALSO conan helping kid get out of the kudou mansion and to his safe house to help him with his injuries or idk maybe he'd take him #haibara tbh idk #DO YOU SEE THE ENDLESS BRAINROT POSSIBILITIES I CAN DO THIS ALL DAY PLEASE I LOVE THIS A LITTLE TOO MUCH IM GOING INSANE #LMAOOOO #ALSO IT BETTER BE EVENTUAL KAISHIN BECAUSE OFC WHEN IS IT NOT KAISHIN WITH ME #conan i love you bby but GIVE ME BACK MY BOY SHINICHI ;-;-; #(also omg the thought of yukiko and kaito gushing at how cute conan is highkey hilarious lmao can u imagine the kudou household shenanigans #with kaito in the mix? it's shinichi's greatest nightmare but he's gonna love it anyways lol) #finally this fcking au is out of the drafts i can now share this brainrot to everyone

#persona 4 #p4 #persona 4 golden #p4g #hanamura yosuke #yosuke hanamura #this scene gets to me because it reveals how a lot of yosuke's talk about getting a gf or meeting a girl and all of that is just... talk #on the one hand it's atlus needing the best friend character to fill that role of “lets check out girls!” #on the other hand it also reads to me as another facade of yosuke's struggle to meet his idealised conception of an average teenage boy #see it's funny because even in the first instance the role is always a bit deeper than it is #slight spoilers for p3 and p5!!! #but in junpei's case regardless of his flirtations he doesnt actually reciprocate or is even a potential LI for femmc #in ryuji's case when ann turns on the charm and offers to go on a date with him he tells her off and says that she should be like herself #i think that theres always a surprising level of nuance to be found with that skirt-chasing stereotype atlus likes to give us #i think yosuke's narrative here quite closely parallels junpei's in that theyre actually super devoted people #and yosuke has found an attachment to saki in the way junpei had with chidori so of course hes not willing to compromise on it #its such a mixed thing because even though he knew saki's kindness to him was probably faked yosuke's loyalty to her was already set #yosuke strikes me as the type of person that if youre nice to him once he'll follow you for life #i love that nanako was the one that responded to yosuke with like “oh like homework?” and yosuke gently plays along #its evocative of his tendency to shoot his mouth off only to quickly cover it up with a joke #but yu is there in the room as well listening and empathising and i think it was a moment that really #revealed to us (and yu) yosuke's underlying motivations and beliefs #even if it was sandwiched between the moment of yosuke trying to look at yu's prn #or perhaps especially because it was sandwiched between that moment the juxtaposition becomes more salient #that such talk from yosuke functions as a distraction from the anguish and ennui he feels about losing saki #he's good with his queue

trying to figure out where we're all moving in case tumblr does get nuked in between being like yeah this is the end of my social media era you can reach me by carrier pigeon from now on

#cohost has a similar interface? there's also bluesky? i've heard about it although i don't have an account #but bluesky seems to be going more for a twitter-like interface? #i don't like that #at this point i am giving out my phone number to anyone who asks #because that's the only sure way to reach me ever #I GUESS MY DREAM OF GOING TO LIVE IN THE WOODS AND BE A HERMIT MIGHT COME TRUE AFTER ALL #GOING OFFLINE #SINCE TUMBLR WILL BE GONE ANYWAY #catch me packing my books and dvds and moving #i feel like the vibes for this can only be found in northern countries but i literally can't stand the cold? #so i might have to compromise on the vibes and accept some remote rocky beach or something instead of the woods #tea's ramblings

ok. im going to make this post but i REALLY shouldn’t but i just am so devastated rn and need to not be alone in it and you guys are the only people i can talk to candidly about moving stuff rn for a lot of reasons. the reason im crying rn is because i just found out i made a massive error in my budget and it turns out that my net pay is barely over minimum wage and i cannot afford to live by myself. at all. unless i live off of savings in addition to income but even then that’s only going to help me for a couple months and anyway it’s extremely unwise bc i should save that money for getting a car etc etc. this is not entirely a bad thing because a) at least i can afford to… you know… live. and b) living with roommates will not be bad especially if i live with friends and/or strangers i come to be friends with. it’s just i really… i don’t know i just feel so sick to my stomach. it’s just that recent events have made it so clear to me that i need to teach myself how to live independently before i can live with other people (let alone function in the world, heal from trauma, etc.) healthily. i know it so deeply. and it can’t happen for me. this is confirmation. this is confirmation and there’s nothing that can change it. rent is too high (even for shitty apartments in the area which let’s be real most of them are… it’s too high!) and over half of my income is going to taxes and deductions and bills and student loans. i feel so hopeless

#an di still have homework to do LMAOOOOOOOOOOO as if im not having a crisis over this issue which is more important than any hw assignment #will ever be. fuck my stupid baka life but i mean it so sincerely. #purrs #delete later #again. i know even being able to consider living alone is a MASSIVE privilege and there will be joys in having a roommate especially if it’s #someone i love. but it’s going to create sooooo many more steps in this process for me and i will have to compromise my needs yet again ( #even if i genuinely want to!) when what i need right now is to have as little compromise as possible. to FINALLY experience what it’s like #to live without having to share (most) things or silence myself. moving out at all is going to be huge and helpful no matter if im living #with roommates but. god god god. this feels like thinking a door is open but it’s just painted to look that way. im so sad #also btw i found out that i am not actually being overpaid im being UNDERpaid. which is a solvable problem that will be fixed this week but #even when that gets corrected i still am making a little over minimum wage so. 😃🔫

I wish there were more books from a sad/angry monster's point of view like Grendel by John Gardner but every time I look for "books similar to grendel by john gardner" the lists are just a bunch of books I've already read and aren't the same as Grendel; Beowulf, The Epic of Gilgamesh, Sir Gawain & The Green Knight... Not the same... These are all heroes, show me the monster's point of view. Tell me about the agonies of Fafnir and Dracula and St George's dragon before they were murdered by the hero...

#textpost #I love a good monster. A good monster has at least a few sympathetic traits to it #Fafnir was turned into a dragon by greed and is considered evil now for it even tho for most of his story he's just lazing around treasure #Dracula is a villain because of the connection to Satan and because he needs blood to survive. Are leeches and wolves evil too? #St George's dragon did extort a village for treasure/animals and then human sacrifices and I will admit that one is actually pretty bad lol #But also the village was entirely ok with the human sacrifice compromise until a member of royalty was chosen by the dragon for sacrifice #Then suddenly it's like oh ok so this is bad now that it's someone with money huh?? #Obviously there's still killing and actually bad stuff in most cases that keeps the monster from being entirely irredeemable #but it always makes me wonder that if the circumstances were different #If the monster found a way to survive without hurting humans would it still be considered a monster?

Cozytober - Day 26 - Catnap

#Cozytober #Margot's RF Art #rune factory #rf1 #rf #This sketch was actually done back on June 6th of this year. I was knee deep in my Seattle vacation planning/stress and never finished it-- #I think I'd just found Home Run Derby tickets finally?? Or not long after that. And I was still scared to death I was making a mistake. #Silly past Margot! It was the best day of your life! #So I remember I did this sketch as just general human pose practice after someone else did the 'tree nap' pose of their OCs. #And so I grabbed it for today's prompt because!! I still liked how the anatomy turned out! #Context my brain goes with; #if I subscribe to the 'Raguna on the run from the Empire' theory then I strongly lean toward the Lynette pairing. #Safe life in Kardia- doesn't feel like the right context most of the time. Not bad. Just. Not as interesting a story. #On the run- This feels like just... a smart choice. Group up once those Empire targeting efforts escalate. #Perhaps he has to deal with the painful compromise and necessity of her lethality because he might be more likely to survive #And he WANTS to survive #AKA- if you can escape. Escape. He's good at it. But if the situation comes down to it.... Lynette can make sure who walks out. #And to reverse the pov- maybe a bit of atonement on her part? All the blood is only on her hands. She'll keep it that way. Let her do that. #He shouldn't have to. It's all her fault anyway. #Also please laugh at me as it took me half an hour to remember the word COMPROMISE. I was so mad. #Rune Factory Raguna #RF Raguna #Rune Factory Lynette #RF Lynette #another ship tag to fill #Raguna x Lynette

the length of Jessie's jenis is literally specifically limited by the length of her short back legs

#i really imagine she doesnt know that dicks often get bigger when erect #so it would just always be the stupidest length-- #but i will compromise on it most likely. i havent found a good way to draw a bulge like that

i'm kinda like a guy who just wants to buy a specific camera but not have it shipped from japan

#talkin to myself #every single listing is from japan. which is fine but they go 'free shipping.....exceptinternational' kms #i have like agonized over cameras and finally found the one that fits everything that i want and they're like.... #they aren't even that expensive as far as cameras go but they they're all in japan so the base expense + shipping = please god please #keh and b&h and local shops have failed me........which means #i must either compromise and get this other camera that has most of the features of the one i want but for a fraction of the cost #OR what is most likely. get no camera

So I’ve been working on a cookie run themed tarot deck for a while now, here are some cards I’ve done, I’m at the emperor now but I’m stuck between either frost queen or longan dragon cookie, which should i do?

#cookie run #cookie run kingdom #tarot #gingerbrave #cinnamon cookie #pomegrante cookie #millenial tree cookie #and by a while i mean like #2 years #im just very lazy and busy at the same time #in fact i went as far as lovers #but decided my old stuff looked bad so i re-did them #i can post the old ones for a comparison if ya'll want #i literally have made a tier list in order of which cookies to draw #also this blog is slightly compromised.. #a shrimp found it #digital fanart #digital art #my art #cookie tarot

may or may not get mobbed for this but i feel like the yellow guy age debate is too black & white ....... "4 year old or 40 year old, make your choice now" or we could . like . chill out

#like idk i like the idea of him being an adult who age regresses sometimss #my personal interpretation of canon is that his age either fluctuates or he was designed to be a child but kind of just. isnt #still childish but not a child #its dhmis. get jiggy with it. idk #AND YES I KNOW autistic character gets babied and all that i understand i really do #and the whole thing of yellow being red & duck's child gets shilled out so that dhmis fits the mold of funny haha silly found family #when its not really like that #not that they ARENT found family obviously #ironically it seems as if people feel the need to box them into a more traditional family dynamic #and it seems odd to me how people will defend the child theory so valiantly despite him having a wife n kids lol #and even weirder how people seem to think yellow wasnt happy with claire.. the whole Point was that he was happy #so yeah i think occasional agere yellow is a pretty cool compromise #(not forcing anyone to share this opinion but yk) #i Need him to use his childish whimsy against the very world that tells him hes a dumb kid. thatd be kickass #dhmis #yellow guy #i think what we should really be focusing on is duck being the youngest of the group. that's so funny to me #do we ever address how many people think duck is like 50 meanwhile he's like 30. well we Should #rambles

My Dad tested positive (again) this morning. He started feeling poorly yesterday and as he’s the kind of person who barely noticed a headache when he was having aural migraines bad enough to send him to ER, I scampered off the couch and out of the house pretty damn quick. Based on the timeline, I’m pretty sure it wasn’t me - I’ve coughed and sneezed more since getting home from vacation but we were all sure it was just allergies and I’ve tested negative. We’re currently pretty sure the culprit is the 24 hours spent at his 55th (?) high school reunion over the weekend. My Mom has surrendered to the fact that she’s going to test positive by tomorrow. So I’m sitting here in The Annex dithering. 500 yards away and now banned from entering my parents’ house.

(And I’m mad because the embossing power is not adhering correctly so I trashed at least a half dozen cards and that means I have to redesign my Rosh Hashanah cards and now they’re probably going to arrive late. But that’s a completely different issue.)

#Covid sucks #my parents are actually doing fine at the moment #just a head cold/flesh wound #I shall be dispatched this afternoon to pick up the good drugs #it’s actually kind of an interesting case study #my dad almost never gets sick #he’s just like that #but he’s been the first with symptoms both times #probably because he had a bad enough reaction (heart palpitations) to the vaccine that he couldn’t go back for more #he fully supports vaccinations but thinks 40+ irregular heartbeats a minute is too many #I have agree #so my mom and I get stabbed in the shoulder with science juice as often as possible #my mom found out almost thirty years ago that blood banks LOVE her #because she’s a universal donor AND she has infant/toddler blood #she’s immune compromised because her body just doesn’t make the same immune response blood cells #so her blood was mostly used for young people who hadn’t had the chance to develop resistance #I like to think I can help others by making sure that I’ve got enough in me to radiate to all #and I can post videos of my walks in the woods so others can enjoy a walk I the woods #I’ll start editing footage as soon as these Rosh Hashanah cards are in the mail

ugh one of the other bc members just posted in our chat that they were walking down the street on campus and heard

A: "Hey we have dental insurance now” B: "whooohoo it’s big”

and i instantly started crying

#like in many ways i am frustrated by some of the compromises in this TA #but i really sincerely believe that there was a threshold where we'd made enough progress on our main goals that we should give people the #option to just. take it. #and i am hoping they do. because then most of the people i work with could have dental insurance. #(or get reimbursed $400 on their existing dental insurance. which. also worth crying about plausibly but less charming sounding) #''why the fuck don't we have dental insurance'' was in many ways the rallying cry around which this union was founded #and we fucking got ourselves dental insurance. so. #box opener
