just my type [ch. 1]

a landoscar vampire au

Oscar leans in to read the label on the bloodpack. “Anyways, that one’s rabbit,” he says, matter-of-factly, before standing up from the couch and stretching. “How the fuck did you-” “Oryctolagus. European rabbit genus.” Nerd, Lando thinks. “Nerd,” Lando says, and he stands up too, binning the Monster can as Oscar returns the bloodpack to the fridge. In which Oscar is a vampire, is crushing on his teammate, and is attempting at all costs to avoid Carlos Sainz. In which Lando is aware of none of these things.

aka i'm back to longform writing (...and RPF writing...) for the first time in 2-3 years! this is what i did last week instead of my psychology homework. that probably say something about me. enjoy!!

Out of all of the mimes (in host and out), which do you think would be the best at singing?

Holly would be the best of the best, in and out of host. He's an extremely theatrical mime and hits the highs and lows like it's second nature. Her host is also a famous singer/actor.

As for runner ups...................

I think Foxglove's singing voice would be hauntingly enchanting true-form... but she's not really the singing type. At least, not in front of other people.

Jarna, if you're into heavy metal & screamo, can & will blow your socks off. In and out, but moreso true-form.

Atrox's singing voice is light and airy but filled with a lot of emotion, and I'd definitely rank him up with the best on this list too.

(Also I think Funfettilla's singing voice would have a wacky, lovable charm to it.)

#i think. if she wasn't being hosted by rede of all mimes. host rede/kviiki would have a really neat vocal range #but alas. rede the tone deaf molasses-throated sickfish ruins any chance of a sick tune 🙄 #brambleramble

In 1999, the speedster known as The Flash began fighting crime in Central City, Oregon, combining the inspiring presence and gentle demeanor of Superman with the facts-driven and logical mind of Batman.

Later that same year, Coast City, California would get its own hero in the Green Lantern, a cocky man who claimed to be an officer from an intergalactic peacekeeping force assigned to this sector of space.

2003 would see the appearance of the Green Arrow, a Robin Hood-like figure who would target and expose corrupt officials in Star City, Washington and surrounds.

Though not as notable as The Trinity of Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman, the three Heroes of the West Coast would be instrumental and important in the Silver Age of Superheroes.

#dc comics #the flash #green lantern #green arrow #barry allen #hal jordan #oliver queen #redesign #earth-101 #my art #OKAY AHH. i like these just a lil more than my year one trinity (i also think the art syle for em got a bit more simple lmao) #the black bands on barry's costume are elastic straps that hold the suit to his body (or are supposed to idk if it comes across that way) #plus i wanted to give him that kinda pointed helmet that cyclists (and snyder flash to an extent) bc i thought it'd be a neat visual) #not much to say abt hal and ollie aside from their pretty simply updates of their silver age suits - ollie moreso than hal #otherwise i just did what i thot would look neat lmao #also! apparently central city's actually in ohio?? i decided nahhh its in oregon now since da green boys are also on the west coast #and i always thought of these three as a pseudo trinity anyway so. in-universe justification for it #(technically both ga and gl are in cali but i moved ollie to washington since he's also been active in seattle ala rebirth so)

47. Creation [Abby, Miri]

Happy Last Wednesday of March! It's that time again, another theme to get the writing juices going. This time, we got the theme of creation!

Raw, unedited writing below. We got Leonardo making observations about Abby and Vincent in her section, while Miri's section is cute and sweet with Luke and Barbatos.

Check out my masterlist!

-----

Abby

Leonardo stood in the doorway of Vincent's room, sunlight pouring into the room, but there was something else in the room that could rival the sun in brightness and warmth.

Vincent's back was to him, his apron tied loosely around his torso. His feet were planted firmly on the floor as he sat on his stool. And if that had been the only thing of note, he might have left, to leave a fellow artist to his creation devices.

But the second set of feet, dangling between Vincent's, and a smaller hand holding onto a paintbrush in his, had the older vampire smiling with affection.

He remembered the day he had found Abby struggling to make her lines looser and how he had given her some tips, as an artist, but also to help with her general demeanor. Scrunched up like a nervous kitten wouldn't help her in the long run and he had hoped the message got across when he was teaching her.

Now, it seemed it was Vincent's turn to help her, much closer to her than he had been, sitting in his lap. Both of them were growing bolder, he thought. A natural process for Abby as she was overcoming her timidity, but she wasn't the only one growing bold. Leonardo looked at his hand, remembering when he had attempted to pat her head, something he had done countless times to encourage the little cara before, only for Vincent's hand to stop him, pushing him away from her not unlike a lover would protect his love from unwarranted advances.

He chuckled and pushed away from the door frame, closing the door fully behind him. He also couldn't help but see Vincent's hand tightening on Abby's thigh, a blue eye briefly glancing directly at him for a split second before returning his attention back to the painting session.

Even for all of his long life, Leonardo felt the briefest of chills from that single look and started walking away, lighting his cigarillo as he walked away.

"Cavolo…" he whispered, shaking his shoulders of their tension.

----------

Miri

Miri looked at the timer on her D.D.D and checked the time, Luke standing nearby. Barbatos held onto oven mitts that matched Miri's and Luke's mitts, a gentle smile on his face.

"Is it almost done?" Luke asked.

"It's pretty close, I think." Miri answered, checking the time one last time. "It should be pretty close to that cake we saw on Devilgram the other day."

"What was it called?"

"In the Human Realm, we called it a castella cake."

"And you bake it with steam?"

"Yep, that's what makes it so light and fluffy, along with all the air inside it. That's what makes it move like that."

"It wiggled so much in that Devilgram video, it looked alive!"

"I hope this one wiggles just as much!"

A soft beeping soon echoed in the kitchen, alerting all three to the time.

"Moment of truth, everyone!" Miri said, stepping to one side of the giant oven. Luke scrambled over to her side, oven mitts at the ready.

"Please be cautious as I open the door." said Barbatos, carefully pulling down on the handle.

Hot air soon filled the room, making Miri and Luke wince, but only momentarily as the smell of baked cake soon followed. Barbatos pulled the rack forward, hot water sloshing around in the pan.

"On the count of three," Barbatos said, putting his mitted hands on one side of the baking pan. Miri and Luke took the opposite corners, ready to lift the massive cake from its watery bath, which was both longer and stood taller than all three bakers combined.

On his command, the three lifted the massive cake, moving it to the nearby counter, amazed at how much it did indeed move and wiggle, dancing to their movements.

"Wahh!" Luke exclaimed, "it does move!"

"Told you it would!" Miri laughed.

Barbatos only smiled gently.

"I'm sure that everyone will be pleased with your efforts, both of you. A job well done."

"We all made it together!" Miri said, "and I think there should be enough for everyone! Even Beel!"

"Perhaps you should message them to come to the castle?" Barbatos was already turning away, intent on finding his master, hopefully still working on the paperwork left for him that day.

"Yeah, it's waaay too big for me to carry by myself. We can have a castella party!"

"Yeah!" Luke said, "I'll message Simeon and Solomon! They have to come too!"

Libraries!

They have:

Books (obviously)

Comic books!

DVDs! (some libraries also have VHS tapes, still, but it's not as common anymore)

Music! (again, on CD usually, these days)

Audiobooks!

Almanacs, dictionaries and other giant reference books you usually can't check out

Newspapers and magazines (new and backlog, local and other)

Sometimes there are floppies/single issue comics but if there are, don't expect them to be organized or in good shape... lol. Ours had some but only in the kids' section and it was all just stuffed into magazine boxes.

Computers, printers, sometimes scanners

Quiet rooms, study rooms, story time for kids, various events

The library I worked at also had blue books (like, used car prices) and offered things like tax help workshops but that definitely depends on the library

Some libraries have 3D printers and maker spaces, or video games you can check out, but that depends on the library. Personally the libraries I've gone to haven't had those things but it's worth checking.

Also access to Libby and Hoopla, which are websites that let you watch movies, read comics, and access audiobooks or ebooks (libby also has an app, idk if hoopla does)

Also some libraries have their own online ebook interfaces for certain books (KCLS does, at least) or can sync with adobe ereader on desktop for example

etc!

#libby is overdrive fwiw #apparently even though the overdrive app was discontinued some ebook readers are still able to access the catalogue built in which is neat #you can log into your ebook reader with your library card and everything #i would love to be able to check out games from the library... alas

#{ Interactions between Claudio Zafina and Xiao would have been interesting to see more of. Like Claudio grew on me lol #I was stuck thinking he would end up as some jerk who really was gonna use #Xiao for this own benefit for nearly nine years only to learn that he ended up feeling bad for this choice and admitting to it all and #apologizing like lol. that’s not at all what I expected it to turn. and then adding Zafina into the mix just made a interesting trio #at least I think so. So seeing all three together back in Italy would have been neat but alas XDD #seeing their pre-battle quotes and end quotes and such is somewhat enough. gotta imagine the rest in my head } #OOC

[clownjail]

I havent logged in this app for literal months but I’ve recently been playing Tears of Themis and I needed somewhere to rant and scream at the void without a 100 character limitations in my way sjjsjs

So I’ve been playing one of the older ToT events, A Love Poem to Skadi (a very good event btw!) and there’s just one thing that the game mentions that I can’t for the life of me get out of my head, and it’s the fact that Artem Wing somehow knows Akkadian.

Okay so walk with me here, when you go in the mansion to explore, each character has their own set of expertise and knowledge that can help you find clues, and for the most part those expertise make sense! Vyn is a doctor so he knows about doctor things, Luke is a detective so he knows detective things, Marius is an artist so he knows artist things, and Artem is a lawyer so he knows…. Akkadian?? It’s just so random and out of the blue because it’s never explained why he knows that (or at least not that I know of),, other than “I study the Code of Hammurabi so that’s why I know Akkadian” and it’s like sir why were you studying the Code of Hammurabi 😭😭

like I know the real reason for that is because of plot convenience and they needed a character that spoke another language to decipher the clues (plus unlike all the other characters they couldn’t center the clues around his job profession because mc is also a lawyer and it wouldn’t make sense for mc to rely on artem in regards to a law related clue because she’s a really good lawyer) and all the other characters quotas were already filled so they threw that skillset onto Artem (along with the fact that Artem having random hobbies that are never mentioned past the first introduction is kind of his shtick and a running gag in the game but I digress-) but that’s not nearly as fun as saying Artem is a secret history nerd, who has a vast knowledge of world history because he spent so much of his free time during his youth reading and studying about other cultures and histories, now is it?

ANYWAYS that’s all to say, artem the historian agenda pass it on!

#bloo mumbles rumbles #it’s so refreshing to type something and not have a 100 character word limit #am I projecting because I’m in a college history course and also a history nerd? maybe #but also artem just radiates big history nerd vibes like I wish there were more silly looking artem cards for y’all to truly incision the #silly dorky history nerd loser (affectionately) that I imagine him to be but alas canon saids otherwise 😔😔 #I have so many things to say about artem in general but I just leave it at this sksjj #like I just think it would be neat if hyoverse would actually give us some kind of explanations as to why artem randomly knows about a lot #of things and is good a lot of things but that wouldn’t fit with the perfect poster boy image that they have crafted for him recently #which is ironic because that’s exactly what artem as a character doesn’t want! #tears of themis #artem wing

Anyways positive stuff. Kinda obsessed w the coffin of andy and leyley and oh I will not go into that tag again. I couldn't care less if you ship em I find it more funny how so many really think people purely ship toxic ships bc they think it's healthy. These people love to forget nuance is a thing that exists just to feel moral superior. Andy and leyley's relationship is toxic as fuck I don't think anyone interested in the game doesn't know that. Also while yes most ship em romantic does ship not equal romantic. Had to learn that one myself from more older fandom veterans.

Anyhow I am obsessed w ashley in a potential kin kinda way since part 1 (maybe she also just reminds me of how possessive I got. minus the uh murder. also other toxic manners I hopefully left mostly in the past. never said I was pure.) and had to make a new twt icon a bit ago and this one took way more hours than I would like to admit. Got the sprites from a discord. (Also in other news finally changed my twt @ so it's the same as everywhere else. didn't do it prior bc I feared random suspension but tested on another which showed it was fine to do). Also kinda reminds me of my oc zoe w her murder lust and smugness which also just adds to me liking her. Obsessed w the artstyle too I love it sm.

Primarily took so long bc no idea for bg and then I wanted it to match that header (same on my horror sideblog bc I love it sm) and searched pexels too long and then I wanted the shade to match the header one (kinda gave up it was almost 6am when I finished). Also since how I changed the sprite made some lines purple did I change that. I just slapped the blood on a black background to test what pic I could use as header (testing layout fits on ibispaint before I actually update them) and almost wanted to just use that. Ig if anyone wants it.

I want to make her my icon on here so badly too but I worked hard on the current halloween one,,,

At least got her on whatsapp too but w a different sprite and bg. Maybe discord once halloween is over I just need to come up w a layout and a fitting "_ rose" display name.

#a wild lux appears #If anyone in the fandom sees this and wants an icon hi tell specifics my blacklist for that is almost non-existent #tw blood #Don't think I ever tagged it but in case it lands in search even tho I didn't tag anything #But alas words in posts are enough. Nightmare search. #Use the ones in this post if ya want idc. Credit would be neat. #Nonetheless won't tag the fandom. Maybe if I ever make a icon set since there really isn't much content

hsr spoilers: sunday has brought in one of my favourite tropes for villains, the ones who, while having an awful way of bringing it and are still making some of the worst decisions around, show such humane and relateable paths to their downfall.

his love for humanity is not simply for selfish reasons, but rather misguided disbelief and trauma to watching so much death happening to those around him that he wishes to save them by ... completely stopping their ability to be able to run into those dangers instead of trying to help them fight it, because he simply believes that no matter what you try is inevitable. still, one of his earliest decisions end up being backed up by both the protagonists and a stell.aron hunter at that.

his plans are unethical and unlawful, but the reasons behind them are not as evil as one may explain.

#❛ ♡ › jupiter : 𝐨𝐨𝐜. #personally? not going to write sunday i want to write WITH one a lot!!! #would i expand on this? yes if i didnt finish playing on his decision ... #because its one of my favourite tropes. i joke about my villains being down right AWFUL on this blog #but some reasons for at least part of the majority of their actions .... some of them are. a little bit understandable #ts.ubaki making a family with his subclass'. jun.ko giving her classmates the opportunity to kill her simply bc she loved them the most #shiros is a tricky one. im still wrapping my head around everything for him but! alas #thinking of other things ive been into. there was confirmation by the creator that hand.some jack had. despite doing terrible things #deluded himself into thinking he was saving people. esp his daughter (when he wasnt at all) #idea factor.y has an insane amount of ya.nderes who snap from the li's being hurt ... #cordel.ia in turn in hsr. her and sun.day def have some deeper parallel somewhere #theres a lot to think about and honestly. i love his dynamic with robin so much. i love the twist that isnt quite a twist #( robin getting away from that cage - the fact shes out of it on her splash art - it's so neat ) #its always siblings. always those doomed siblings. why do elder siblings always sacrifice themselves for their youngers its so painful #( im a younger sibling before u ask. that would devastate me if my sibling did that for me ) #anyway enough rambling this has fulfilled my wish to write so i will begin it :) #spoilers / #EDIT I FORGOT YAS.UKE HERO COMPLEX MATSU.DA SHAME ON ME.

Part of me wants to make a sideblog that would repost everything Anipoke_PR tweets so people with no access to the shitty place (I am so done with that place if you can tell askjsjkf) would be able to know the latest news from it, like the screencaps and extra tidbits relating to them. But um... I don't have the full motivation to do that. And I removed twitter from my phone so it's extra hard lol.

A character reference sheet sort of thing for the main character of the Poll Adventures, drawn more in my usual style (taking a picture of messy pencil sketches then coloring it digitally lol) rather than the cutesy ms paint style of the daily poll images .. there he is.. the adventure boy..

#paventure posting #sketches #I haven't drawn for real in a long time.. I forget how much I dislike coloring lol #I think if I did Neat Digital Art Lines that you can color in with the fill bucket tool it would be different but #since I can only really draw on phyiscal paper with a pencil and then just put that on the computer the lines are all too #messy for that to work. So I basically have to color it all coloring book style which is tedious #Honeslty I really like... physical art. like sculptures. and I like pencil and pen sketching . But I really dont like #most digital art at all. The exception is in MS paint for some reason. I think because I can use the bucket fill tool lol #and the pixelly lines give it some texture still. My main problem with digitial art lines is that they don't look like pencil on paper they #'re too “clean” like no scratchy messy texture looking stuff. Which I know you can use different brushes. I've tried. it just doesnt #have the same feel to it. ANYWAY.. Definitely need to practice more hjbjhb.. my anatomy and drawing fabrics and stuff #has gotten much more wonky than it used to be I think. but I've just been focusing so much more on writing #than drawing. Or only drawing the occasional sketch that goes along with writing (like worldbuilding stuff) #aside from Ms paint stuff I probably haven't really DRAWN like a full body sketch or face #or anything like that in maybe a year or more. yoink #OH ALSO i know his boots are different now because the poll voted to give him new boots ghjhbjb #I drew this before then. I actually thought more people would vote for the coat ToT #I wanted to draw him in a cool robe or something and have that be an addition to his outfit #instead just the shoes change. which aren't even visible in all drawings :( #A little purple outer coat. his favorite color. But alas. #And yeah the string that laces up his main tunic coat thing is technically like a tan yellowy sort of color but I usually #just draw it as black because it's easiest. especially with ms paint and doing really thin lines #also his hair is a little ridiculous and doesn't translate well from chibi type image to realistic but I tried gh.. the bangs lol...
