For @orange-artist ‘s ASL god AU DTIYS! (congrats on the milestone!)
This was really fun, I absolutely love drawing ethereal designs
Additional notes 👇
So i adjusted the original designs ... a bit... To draw in my style means that i have to make everything extra, sorry.
Ace:
I like the base design for Ace a lot! i looked at other posts to get more context to these outfits and i say this draping billowy pants design that i liked a lot more, so I used that instead of the ones he has in the picture.
I love his cute little star crown, i think it looks dope as hell. I wanted to bring it to other parts of him too, so I gave him an arm cuff with it, too! If i had drawn the front of him, you would also see that crown design around his waist as a belt, too.
i originally had him in a pose similar to the one he has in the original, but after i sketched out the other two poses i found he looked a little two flat, so i brought his hand out to the foreground.
I like the choice for his hair to gradient out to look like a comet! I had a lot of trouble trying to make it look Just Right, but i think I nailed it
Luffy:
I didn't change much about his design, I really just made him a little more yellow than he was before. Its hard to improve an already banger design. He's my ethereal silly guy...
I really love the idea of Luffy's scars looking like gold, that's really cool.
I wish I could've added that cold crown he has around his head, but i didn't know how to without it looking sloppy so i had to leave it out.
Sabo:
I changed so much about Sabo's design, i would like to send out a formal apology for it, I admit I went a little too ham. I had already completed the picture before i went back to look at the original post and saw the comments about how Sabo was supposed to look... discreet...... I... Did Not Make Him Discreet. In The Slightest. :DDD ehe
I needed help for Sabo's pose because i was having so much trouble with the hand, i called upon my good website friend JustSketchMe to get it right. I had this idea for the pose because i wanted the claw to look like a crescent moon, I think it looks pretty good.
I would've given him normal snakebite piercings too but i felt that the ring piercings looked more Crescent-like, so i went with that.
Moon belt. i want that moon belt. I have no outfits it would go with. but i still want it.
I love Sabo's whispies that he has in the original design, but when I put them in the art i had, it cluttered up the piece too much and I had to get rid of them. A moment of silence for the fallen whispies...
Noticing now I forgot Sabo's Cane..... oops.
General:
I shaded Luffy to be lighted by the sun, Sabo the moon, but i made Ace be the light for himself. There's some deep meaning to that, but I cant think of one right now.
I had a lot of fun drawing this, i hope i was failthful enough to the original designs even though i changed everything a lot :)
Drinking game: take a shot everytime I used the word "I", take a double shot each time i forgot to capitalize it, too. You will be Dead by the end of the post, though.

Here's my little side AU!
It's not a serious story like Dreams of the Stars, and just something of my own for funsies! I don't intend to make a series of this, more-so just little drawings or mini comics every now and then. DotS is my main AU and comic series still!
This is my SkyCotL Mago AU, and it's a mix of different types of AUs in one. Genderbend? You got it. Roleswap? Absolutely! There's also a personality swap between characters, and what-if scenarios all jammed into one Kirby AU set in a noir/spacepunk + 30s-60s swing era
It's a lot of what-ifs put into fruition while having SkyCotL on the side! It's wholesome, adorable, and really sweet! No serious angst in this (for now), but some heartfelt troubles and such. Absolutely a comfort AU LOL
Tumblr media
So here's the whole gang together! Not everyone's roles are swapped, I'll say— it's a mixed bag of this that and whatever because whoever said you had to stick to one particular thing in a swap-type AU HEHEHE
Quick look lore/info on each individual below:
Allow me to tell you a bit about each individual here, starting with our lead, Skye:
Tumblr media
The Magolor of this Magoverse flavored AU, this is Magoloria— a rising star from Floralia. She sings, she dances, she's quite the hit for tons of musical shows across the galaxy! Fashionable, fun, and cute as a button, Skye is a pure-hearted and humble gal. She's a young adult for her species!
Both a genderbend and a personality swap! Her personality is swapped with Joronia's (pre-Sectonia). She's as sweet as can be, and enjoys making herself feel pretty with a vast wardrobe of outfits and costumes. Her taste in fashion is impeccable.
The events of Return to Dreamland occur quite a bit differently for Skye, but I'll save that for another post! But the main premise is that following a decisive battle, hopelessly possessed by the Master Crown's evil, Skye and the shattered Master Crown are spirited away to the decaying Kingdom of Sky (hence her nickname), a land time forgot. The power-drained mage must travel across the realms to reclaim her lost powers, which fell into the hands of the sleeping Elder spirits.
Tumblr media
Here's Kirby and Bandana Waddle Dee! Their roles remain unchanged, but their personalities have swapped! Bandee is confident and outgoing, whereas Kirby's a bit less confident, but aspires to be great— despite the fact that he's the most powerful of the group and constantly Popstar's savior. He and Bandee are besties, like brothers!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
King Malcom "Meta" Knytte, the presiding king of Dream Land! He's both role-swapped with Dedede, and his personality is swapped with Taranza. He's got the personality of a sopping wet kitten, but is low-key one of the most devastating warriors Dream Land has to offer. His Galaxia's design is more of the anime's than the games because good god I am not drawing the same Galaxia for two different AUs
King Malcolm is a great whistler and plays the piano, but has crippling stage fright. He owns a venue within his kingdom, which has been host to Skye's shows in recent years. He secretly mans backstage in disguise, so commoners won't recognize him (but it's somewhat obvious who he is). Rumor has it, he has an eye for one of the performers, and is secretly in love...
Tumblr media
Sir Dedede of Dream Land! He serves the Kingdom of Dream Land. As it's quite obvious, he's role-swapped and personality swapped with Meta Knight, though there's still a sliver of King Dedede's original ego/pride in this guy. He's aloof, something of a loner, and doesn't talk much, but he has a tendency to take aspiring warriors under his wing. His latest apprentice is Bandana Waddle Dee, who serves under King Malcolm too!
Tumblr media
And finally, the lovely couple— King Taranza and Queen Joronia! This is half a role-swap and a whole personality swap. Taranza's personality is swapped with Magolor, and Joronia has a partial of Dedede's personality, but stands alone on her own as well. Taranza also takes on Magolor's role as Manager of a theme park.
Though married for centuries, Taranza and Joronia are still in their honeymoon phase, madly in love and have profound crushes on each other!
The two have made their kingdom into an entertainment capital this side of the galaxy, bringing all walks of life onto Popstar to see a wide variety of shows! From circus acts, to live musical performances, and thrilling carnival rides and games, you name it, they got it!
This spicy pair act as parental figures for Skye, and took her under their wing when she was a lone, young girl selling papers to make do
AND THAT IS ALL FOR NOW! Just a basic look at everyone! I'll do more thorough info-posts later on 'em throughout the week 💜

26 ASKS! THANKS EVERYONE! 🥰✨
Tumblr media
Me too man. But my mental and physical health is kind'a tanking atm. I just don't have the energy to pick up a passion project of that scale right now..
If you're patient and stick around though, we're bound to see more of my FNAF security breach AU someday.. Once I can get on top of all this crap I'm dealing with-
Tumblr media
I AM restingggg 😫 I haven't left my home for any significant amount of time for like 3 weeks- I cant rest any harder! XD
Tumblr media
@beryl-shade
Google seems to suggest that an oreo cookie character already exists. "Prime Oreo Cookie" I believe..? :0
Tumblr media
@solst1ce-sketches (In response to this post(?))
:DD Thank you! I'm glad you like him!! :}}
Tumblr media

(First repair guy) (Second repair guy)
They are different repair guys, and they both do not have a name.. 😔
Tumblr media
@lobitowhiteeliaz
Not quite sure what you're asking.. so I'll just answer in multiple ways!
My favorite movies of all time are Pixars cars 1 and 3. I cannot watch either without crying 😭 they are my absolute favorites and I hold them very close to my soul 💖
Still to this day, even after all this time, Gravity Falls is my top favorite show. Despite all the cringe I made for it back in the day- it still holds up as my most beloved show I've ever drawn about.
As for fandom, like the people? I thiiiink the FNAF fandom was my favorite to interact with..? I remember a lot of interaction with the fans in general, which meant a lot to me :)
Tumblr media
Bibi and Cici are just odd little critters XD though Bibi is very cat-like in nature and Cici is based on a mouse :0
I'm not sure how they feel about being dolls. I'd assume they don't really mind it! XD
Tumblr media
Not sure what you mean but I assume you're right XDD
Tumblr media
@something3706
Thank you! Though I don't take requests, sorry!
Tumblr media
She is indeed a kid, but that's becuase all I had to go off of was her info picture and fanart I saw of her. For some reason a lot of art I saw of Sally depicted her as this total gremlin character that's always getting into trouble.
So I thought hey! Why not make it so she fell to "Earth" as a little tot and was raised by Poppy? In present day she could be like 13-15 and her chaotic energy would make sense and be fun to mess with!
Though after watching GTlive do a vid on the Halloween update, I realize that I wrote her personality completely wrong. Sooo I miiight need to rework her entire story and character- whoops! <XDD
Tumblr media
Considering Sally is gonna need some restructuring, I'm not sure where Poppy stands atm-- <:DD
Tumblr media
@fawncr33k
I saw your comment on a post that shows you now know the answer to this- but just to clarify it for everyone else!-
Octo and Seafoam are not gay, nor a couple. Seafoam's heart belongs to Blue Beauty! Him and Octo are just friends/brothers.
Also thank you! :DD I'm honored!
Tumblr media
@neo-metalscottic (Post in question)
AAAA Thank you!! :DD I've very glad you like them! :D And I'm not sure how a meeting with the pirates and cowboys would go.. its funny though becuase a lot of Canned Tuna's design was copied from Canned Beans cookie. Even the name! So if they ever met maybe they'd have a stand off XDD
I haven't thought much about how the Captain would react.. maybe the Vegimals are something he just cant wrap his head around and chooses not to talk about it XDD
BUT CALICO JACK!! SEEING VEGIMALS BEFORE?? WHY HAVEN'T I THOUGHT OF THAT!! The Vegimals could be these huge fish creatures when they grow old! And Jack could have SEEN ONE/HEARD OF THEM BEFORE!! Why didn't I think of that?? XDD I'll have to draw something like that sometime!!
Tumblr media
@yourstrulylightstar283
Thank you so much!! :D My favorite Donkey Kong game has to be the only one I've ever played, the original Donkey Kong Country!
I also loved Diddy Kong racing, though I see that it doesn't count <XD
Tumblr media
@astaherussy
I've heard of Hazbin Hotel, and Helluva boss. I saw the Hazbin pilot ages ago and have seen some episodes of Helluva.. Though they're not really my taste.. <:/

I think Poppy Playtime it pretty neat! Though I haven't seen a playthrough of chapter 3 yet so I haven't formed an opinion on the smiling critters. :0 Other than their smiles are WAY too big and creepy XDDD

Holy cow.. what a crazy read! I'm not much of a gamer myself but I have GOT to watch somebody play this! :00 Thank you for the info! :D

@nunyabusiness459
AAAA I'm so glad you're interested in him! Uuuunfortunately,, looking back it seems the only artwork I have of Melvin is just a bunch of strange angst for no good reason-
Tumblr media
So I'm afraid I don't really have any artwork to share,, and most of the story has already been told.. but this ask makes me want to come back to Melvin sometime! Maybe expand on his story more, or just draw him again in general!
So thank you for the ask/interest, perhaps we'll see more of Melvin someday! :D

Adult Timeline Doodles
🌊 Wind Waker Doodles 🌊
Program: Ibis Paint X
Time Elapsed: 3 hours, 22 minutes
Tumblr media
💖 Spirit Tracks Doodles 💖
Program: Ibis Paint X
Time Elapsed: 3 hours, 9 minutes
Tumblr media
Here's a collection of Wind Waker and Spirit Tracks doodles I've done on and off the past few days. I don't know why my brain decided to branch back to them after the Tears of the Kingdom trailer, but here we are.
For the Wind Waker doodles, I gave Link a scarf to match Tetra's as well as a combination of his two in-game outfits. Tetra and Link also both have scars from their adventure. Tetra's is from falling into the tree after feeding herself from the Helmaroc King, and Link's is from when Ganondorf attacks him at the top of the Forsaken Fortress. I gave Tetra's dress a redesign to moreso resemble the ocean she loves so much! I also made the bandages on her right arm (the one the Triforce of Wisdom would usually appear on) more bandages to somewhat resemble Sheik's.
I imagine Link and Tetra are really close, given the bond they seem to have in Phantom Hourglass. Link has gotten into the habit of calling Tetra "Captain" after joining her crew, but will also slip up and call her Tetra when the two are having fun. He never calls her Zelda, though, upon seeing her demeanor when the rest of the crew does so. Given how expressive Link is and how open Tetra is, they definitely get along but are quick to make it clear when they disagree with the other. Speaking of which, I absolutely love drawing The Hero of Winds' goofy little faces.
As for Spirit Tracks, I had a little difficulty deciding on color schemes. However, I settled on a slightly detailed conductor uniform for Link and a ghostly, phantom-inspired dress for Princess Zelda. They look somewhat resemblant of Tetra and The Hero of Winds with hair and faces due to their identical appearances in original design, but I wanted to be sure their differing personalities were evident.
I see Zelda and Link being as close as their predecessors, but with their different personalities they're definitely more likely to show it regardless of who is around. The game makes Link quick to blush, making for obvious embarrassment. Zelda, on the other hand, is pretty affectionate yet doesn't seem to notice the flustered mess at all. My headcanon usually follows the ending where Link becomes an engineer, so it's cute to picture him and Zelda occasionally getting to travel around New Hyrule without worrying about an impending threat. It would be a nice chance for Zelda and Link to play music/sing together, too.
Reblogging is fine, but please don't post this anywhere else without linking the original post. Thanks!

hello everyone, I made a series of doodles to put inside of my copy of MobyDick and I would like to share them :3 pls enjoy:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
[ID: Two traditional drawings. Ahab shows off his new pegleg with a flourish. Ishmael infodumps about whales to a fond Queequeg. End ID.] [More detailed ID in ALT.]
New Leg Goofin is for chapters 108-9, when Ahab gets fitted with his new leg! it's right before a super devastating chapter so i needed to make myself laugh lmao
Wikipedia Page About Every Whale is for the whole goddamn book, honestly, but I chose to put it at the beginning of ch.32, Cetology, where Ishmael really does try to explain every whale ever
Tumblr media
[ID: A comic of Stubb and Flask bursting into Ahab's quarters, thinking the Captain is in danger, only to find Ahab and Fedallah playing a game of cards. End ID.] [More detailed ID in ALT.]
This gem belongs to p.344 where Stubb wonders if Fedallah means to kidnap Ahab, which was such a baffling ridiculous concept that I couldn't help but make fun of it. literally Ahab snuck this man on board bro, what the fuck is fedallah going to do to him. they're playing uno. shut up
Tumblr media
[ID: Two drawings, with the first showing Pip after being cast away, haunted and alone on the deck of the Pequod. The other shows Ishmael and Queequeg homoerotically grasping hands while processing whale sperm. End ID.] [More detailed ID in ALT.]
this goes out to chapters 93-95, because the UNREAL whiplash from "a child was just abandoned at sea" to "hey let's be horny about whale sperm" is still the most insane transition of all time. Ish, what the fuck
Tumblr media
[ID: A simply doodled meme diagram for how to greet a fellow amputee. The "wrong" answer shows Captains Ahab and Boomer shaking hands, while the "right" answers show Ahab in a handstand and then kicking his leg up high, both times to cross his prosthetic with Boomer's. End ID.] [More detailed ID in ALT.]
this goes out to p. 454. every interaction between these two absolutely delighted me but my mental image for the specific line about them "crossing ivory limbs" got. very silly.
Tumblr media
[ID: A small comic of Ahab asking the Harpooners to give him blood to temper his harpoon in. They stare back at him with varying expressions of confused, uncomfortable disbelief. End ID.]
the last one, for p.504. yknow that feel when your boss just walks up and asks you to bleed on his custom made harpoon??? yeah uh. normal workday things
anyways thank you for reading, I had a delightful time making these and am so very fond of them all, so yea :3
credit as always for the designs goes to the darling @pocketsizedquasar , as well as credit for pricelessly annotating my copy of MD and thus getting me to actually read it, love youuuu💙💙

I've crawled out of my cave after playing Final Fantasy IX for a long ass time what have I missed?
Artist's Notes:
I'M BACK BABY! A while back I made a post with a new style experimentation thingy but I ended up deleting it because it was just kind of a boring face thing, I was planning on doing more art but then I started playing Final Fantasy IX and uhhhh yeah so that game has kind of taken of my brain for the past two weeks and I am 20 hours into the game because I love it so much. I wanted to draw Vivi because Vivi is just really fun to draw ok? I've kinda been feeling really burnt out with my lineless style, mainly because of how hard it was to do lighting. I'll show one of my initial art style tests on the bottom of this post. Again, used to have it be an individual post but it was just one face so it was kinda boring, so might as well include with this one on the subject of art styles. I wanted to kinda mix some aspects of my older style with the sketchy shading lines with a more painterly way of doing the lighting (mainly in the shadows). All in all, I think that's my favourite part about this drawing, it feels nice to finally be able to do some proper lighting again, and I want to experiment even more with my lighting and rendering in future pieces. Also, part of the pant shading got kinda lost in the sketchiness, so for next time I'll probably focus on the clarity of the more sketchy parts of the drawing, since I did go with my initial sketch for the final drawing. I also gave up on the background since I had no idea what to do for it, and I didn't put too much detail into the staff as I forgot which one I gave him in my current playthrough and I didn't want to risk spoiling myself via looking up references, but that's ok I like how the singular yellow circle on it matches Vivi's eyes. Also I was having a bit of trouble figuring out how to draw his body and how to pose him, but I like how the pose turned out a lot. It was inspired by his idle animation when in a battle in game where he does a little shimmy.
Ok I need to talk about Vivi's design because I love it so fucking much oh my god-
I absolutely love how his face is just in complete shadow and only his eyes stand out, it's so cool and unique and I love how they recontextualized the original black mage design from the classic Final Fantasy games. How they did it I won't say because I don't wanna spoil the game, but someone give this poor baby a therapist because he goes through a lot. Actually, same can be said for all of the FFIX cast, they all need therapy (again, I won't spoil anything, please go play the game for yourself).
While I do love almost all the characters in the game, even though Vivi is most fun to draw, my favourite character has to be Zidane (the main protagonist of the game). He's a really fun protagonist, and they could have easily written him as a misogynistic jerk who doesn't respect women but they didn't, and I really appreciate that. He's just an overall cool dude who's a really nice older brother figure to Vivi and also just has a cool character design (who I also want to draw eventually). Initially in the game I was planning on grinding levels for Vivi to make him the tactical nuke of the party, but then that title went to a different character (who was initially multiple levels behind the group since I grinded the party in the starting area way to much before they joined, but now they are two levels ahead of everyone and have pulled the team through a lot of tough battles, again I won't say who it is because it is kind of a spoiler and the way the gameplay actually ties into their character arc is just so good omfg). Once I eventually finish the game I'll probably write a full review on here, so no spoilers until then lol
Also, I've kinda been burning out a bit with making Touhou art, which also made me a bit burnt out with Touhou stuff in general (although I will continue keeping up with the manga) so getting into other things (i.e. Final Fantasy and even Fallout since I've watched the first season of the TV show which is a whole other post for another day) has helped me refresh and given me something new to think about. I've ended up in the exact place I feared ending up, where I would start drawing fanart for it not because I wanted to but because I felt like I had to, so I'm taking a bit of a break. When I do draw Touhou fanart again I'll try to draw for the sake of myself, and to all the other artists and fanartists on this platform (and on any social media for that matter), take care of yourself and don't forget to take breaks when you need to!
(Ok part of that last paragraph was definitley influenced by the good ol' "it's 9:00pm and I need sleeb, but the message at the end still holds up, always take care of yourself)
Oh yeah, and here is that one style experiment I did btw
Tumblr media
Man I really fell down the "Yoshitaka Amano art enjoyer" to "Final Fantasy fan" pipe line didn't I?

Okay HI hello 👋👋
I saw ur art about Sun & Moon through a reblog and I am such a simp for those two omg so here's a rant :33
(Also if you're not comfy with this pls ignore this rant then, and I am so sry if that is the case!! Will stop immediately if you tell me to /srs)
-------------------------------------------------
CAN I JUST SAY I am sosososososo in love with your desgin for the dca cuz holy shit I have never seen anything hotter. O.O LIKEEE THE HUMANOID VERSION??!?!!?? UGH soooo goooodd 🥵🥵 I love the designs and the- the little EARRINGS as well?!??! Omg sooooo cutee aaaaaa 💞💞
and-and omigosh UR ART IS SO GOOD AS WELL!?!? I straight up just wanna munch it. I am eating ur art fr. In LOVE with ur artstyle it's so yummy 😍
Anywhoooo I also scrolled through your dca tag aND *GASP* ECLIPSE?????? 😍😍AND I?? WANNA??? BE ENVELOPED????? BY HIMM??? (I feel like mans would give THE BEST cuddles on the planet!!!)
HOLLLYYYY SHITTTT thE SIZEEEEEEE
Big tall omigoshhhhhhHHH M- my brain- my heart my- mY EVERYThIng is mELTING! ! ! ! ! Literally his size just does something to me I cannot comprehend why omigosh
(*lays in a puddle on the floor*)
I can imagine sosososo many different scenarios where that height could be used aaaaa >~< <333 ;P
-------------------------------------------------
Omg if you have any HCs (and *wanna* share, ofc.) about him (Or about Sun & Moon) I'd love to listen to you ramble about them??? <333
So curious about ur HCs & would absolutely love any crumbs about the dca ksskksskkdkdjdks ❤️😂
Uhm uhm first off, thank you so much I can't rlly put into words how sweet this is and I totally don't mind the rambles because me too. And also because its been YEARS since I last used Tumblr or did anything answering Ask is a bit tough for me.. MmMM
Although I don't have many HC at the moment.. I can however give you a little insight I have regarding my Human DCA :]
Moondrop (Moon) and Sundrop
Tumblr media Tumblr media
- when I first designed Moon (after the game came out) he had a much wilder look to him, especially the face because I was really into the idea of him being simply insane hence the red.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
- later when i got back to his design and adding colours I thought that it would be fun to make it Blue and white themed, which I actually didn't see a lot back then
- he wasn't supposed to look human even as a Humanoid, I liked to think that Sun & Moon simply had a renovated body. They are just as much Animatronics as they had always been, robotic parts and everything but with a bit of twist
Tumblr media
- So then onto Sun.. the thing is its sad to say but I never explored much with Sun's design back then as much as I did with Moon, so I can't provide a good reference
- although I had a rough idea of how sun would look like I never quite liked the way I drew him, so he's always somewhat been stuck in this unfinished stage
Tumblr media
- Then there was eclipse, who was my absolute FAVORITE at that time, I don't think I loved a character MORE THAN ECLIPSE EVER when I was drawing him out
- yes!! It was very much inspired by the 3D render shown here as the ref, though I did make some changes of my own to the design as well
- I had a lot in my head when I was drawing him, but the one thing that I loved most about this design still to thisq day is rhe face. The way I him to look back then was sort of a mix between my Sun and Moon designs, only leaning more towards Sun in colours and Moon in appearance with the crazed look in his eyes
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The height was just a funny little thing I thought of, cuz imagine this giant fkn ahh robot just comes in here and picks you up 💀 god I would piss myself
Cough..
So in regards to the new design, I did kind of get rid of the animatronic feel to him that I had done with the DCA and his old design, all of them now look a whole lot more Human which is what I intended for
Eclipse has a few scars around his body; right forearm, left side of his torso that leads all the way up to his chest. Plus a bit of his face that is burnt which you can't exactly see because of the Black spots
Tumblr media
Overall I like my newer designs quite a lot and has also changed a lot, this is probably the most insight you'll get out of me abt my art 😭😭 cuz I don't usually ramble this much otherwise
I might come up with some head canons at a later date, but they'll be fun thats for sure ;)

||The Witcher tarot | King of Swords | Eskel||
[Other cards of the Witcher tarot can be found here and on my Instagram art account]
[DO NOT REPOST OR REUSE WITHOUT LEGAL AND EXPLICIT AUTHORIZATION]
If I was extra careful of the meaning and symbolism of each card for the major arcanas, I have been more flexible on the figures cards. So the character associations might be a little far-fetched sometimes. Also, I truly did stick to my choice of only drawing book/canon characters for the major arcanas. Even if I tried to do the same for the figures cards, I ultimately was tempted to draw a few game characters I like. There are also more women in those cards, given I prefer drawing them and I decided to draw the entire Lodge of sorceresses. 
The significance of each figure is more vague than the major arcanas, that’s why I mostly picked the character based on the meaning of the four families (cups, pentacles, wands, swords). Even then, you sometimes have to squint your eyes a little to see the link between the card and the character. Honestly, I just wanted to draw more characters and have fun with the designs. 
I absolutely love Eskel, and not drawing him in the major arcanas saddened me a little. So he was obviously the very first character I put on my list when planning the figures cards. I really wanted to highlight his scars, which I found most interesting in his character even if we know only a little about him. I really enjoyed the scenes he had in The Witcher 3, and I really hope we’ll get to see him again somehow.

Wow, Falin. So you now drew Dungeon Meshi. This looks beautiful.
Thank you so much <3 Dungeon Meshi character design is very nice, I’m glad I had an opportunity to draw Falin.
Anonymous asked:
any thoughts on the manga adaptation yuu’s? Yuuken, Yuuka and Yuuta.
i personally need a foursome with them.
I- I didn’t expect the second part of this ask! Good for you, Anon 😔👍 Aim high.
We don’t really care about Yuu either way (since we don’t read the manga), but I do like the designs for all of them and how different they are. We also posted a sketch of Yuuta at some point! We like him the most.
Anonymous asked:
On the Cater thing, logically, I know the brother comment was to appease the sudden censorship that appeared after the EN release (there's so much of it, just compare voice lines for first and second Halloween events) but that makes me sad so I choose to believe in canon brocon Cater instead.
Oh, so you mean the JP game is somewhat influenced by the EN censorship too? That would be a bummer, but also kind of funny because it was the second Halloween event where we got that suspicious line of Rook telling us how he woke up in the middle of the night and saw that Vil wasn’t there. I guess it wasn’t a voice line, so….
And yes absolutely, Cater canon brocon! Imagine being so tired of having sisters that your brain just says “if I had a brother I would be very into him, especially if it’s Vil” lol
Anonymous asked:
So I know you have your top/bottom rule but I was wondering who you would feel about two bottoms sharing a top or two tops sharing a bottom? I know you already have the tweels basically do this with Idia already but any thoughts on who else might be willing to share? I can picture Lilia being ok with Idia and Silver dating cause how convenient to have two of his favorite boys together! I've also seen you mention Rook and Ortho basically teaming up to stalk Vil. Just an interesting idea I thought you'd enjoy thinking about.
Ohh that’s a fun question, Anon!
Yeah, like you’ve noticed already, we don’t mind tops and bottoms sharing in a 3+ people scenario. Although when it comes to spicy scenes specifically, we tend to prefer “multiple tops, one bottom” route and not the “multiple bottoms, one top” route. But if we’re talking about it in general, I think this is pretty much our default state for a lot of characters? Their relationship status is very fluid…
Lilia could easily date both Silver and Idia, to be honest, I think Lilia doesn’t even necessarily consider it “dating”, he just has multiple partners and enjoys his life lol And Malleus would be on Lilia’s “list” too!
Rook and Ortho could find a good balance and date Vil together too! Rook could also date both Vil and Epel, although with Rook it’s tricky because he’s just going around enjoying life… just like Lilia…
Another trio that we’ve talked about recently is Trey+Riddle+Che’nya, they also work nicely as a throuple.
The first years have a lot of things to sort out between themselves, but theoretically? Maybe Deuce could end up with two boyfriends (Jack and Ace). But it absolutely won’t happen soon, they aren’t mature enough for this yet lol
Anonymous asked:
I don't remember if you've already talked about it, but do you think Idia has ever pretended to be a girl online to troll someone who annoyed him? After having some fun pretending to flirt it would probably backfire, with Idia getting weirded out when the other person starts talking about all the filthy things they would like to do to him. At the same time though, he doesn't really want to stop for some reason...
Anon, this is a scenario that I would absolutely love to witness, but unfortunately, I don’t think Idia would do that. Although he is such a troll sometimes, and he is super unlucky (lucky?) when it comes to how his social interactions spiral out of his control, that he might find himself in a similar situation… It’s the butterfly effect – one little joke from Idia, and suddenly a couple of hours later he’s talking to a guy who is in love with him and doesn’t listen to him trying to explain that he isn’t in fact a cute nerdy gal?? And then suddenly the other person STARTS TALKING ABOUT ALL THE FILTHY THINGS THEY WOULD LIKE TO DO TO HIM—Idia had no idea being an accidental e-girl would be so stressful lol
Let’s hope he realises how weirdly arousing it was to read all this gross horny stuff about himself  before he blocks the guy… He’ll probably send him a bouquet of computer viruses while still fuming and feeling the tingles uvu what a good girl.

Tumblr media
i’m not about to draw a minimum of twelve entire pictures but i wanna do this anyway (i guess i could just edit the images in there but that’s lame lol)
•my favorite gym leader is probably either tulip or clay! something about tulip i just always found very endearing and respectable and i love clay’s no-nonsense attitude and sheer strength. plus he gets bonus points for his daughter being lacey
•fav champion is clearly volo. like how could you not classify that as a champion fight. that was so freaking hard man. runner up goes to kieran though bc he was also really hard for me. but of course if we’re talking official true pokémon league champions then cynthia
•fav elite four member has gotta be lacey. i adore her. first time i’ve ever lost to the same opponent multiple times in a fair fight (aka being prepared and on-level). she’s sooo cute and fun! she also terrifies me severely
•favorite protagonist is akari no surprise there. la does such a good job of making it clearly important why the protag is the protag. it offers a legitimate in-universe explanation as to why this one child in particular is so much more powerful than all the others. out of place in time and space, literally chosen by a god… the way certain characters question her humanity, both in a good and evil way… it’s so good
•favorite rival… well pokémon fans use the term rival really loosely. it can mean any friend character that you battle for funsies even once. it can mean literal arch nemesis. idk. arven stole my heart with his story but i don’t consider him a rival like most people do so that goes to cheren. i love his story and he has also mopped the floor with me several times
•favorite antagonist is also volo next question. i’m sick in the head about him. n is a strong and clear second place obviously though. i’ve done enough rambling on here about them
•professor laventon is the guy ever he feels like he actually personally cares about akari so much. that’s her dad. the way he’s actively involved in plot stuff, he accompanies the team on field missions even when he really doesn’t need to… he’s always there. you see him a lot. and he’s clearly writing the pokédex entries himself and they’re absolute gold. but seeing as professor is also a broad term because they’ve been really breaking up the older tradition in recent games, i nominate director clavell as second place bc i respect the guy a lot. that old man (tm) enjoyer here
•fav battle facility leader… well. i don’t really have one bc i’ve done very little with the battle facilities in the two games i’ve played that had them lol. so i guess throwaway answer is ingo but mostly for pla reasons. actually i think he counts as a battle facility leader in pla with the daybreak update and i’ve done some of his stuff so he does in fact count for me
•for fav clan member i’m gonna say arezu i like her a lot. she tried doing the right thing in a very chaotic way and i respect her for her efforts. plus her design is cute and she gives great haircuts and her noble is adorable
•character from other media… well i’m obsessed with the way n is portrayed in pokespe. perfect blend between sad prettyboy and freak behavior. they just made everything so intense. and i love oshawott from poképark 2 with the way he’s trying so hard to be serious and cool but snivy keeps getting on his nerves lol. that’s the reason i chose oshawott in pla bc that was the only of those pokémon i recognized
•i’m classifying arven as miscellaneous bc like i said i don’t consider him a rival but MAN!! man… this guy just got shortchanged so many times but i’m glad he was able to get closure for his parents’ disappearance and death and that he can move on and just live his own life. also certified dog lover moment
•top fav character… yeah you all know it’s volo LOL. completely shrimp fried my brain. the absolute hyperactive high i was on when he revealed himself. made even more insane bc i had literally been spoiled that he was a twist villain but i had no other context so i was just waiting the whole game for him to be evil. imagine the sinking in my gut when the credits rolled and it didn’t happen i thought i’d been embarrassing myself the whole time but then the postgame punched me in the gut HARD. i thought he’d end up being like the sad sympathetic frenemy guy where you don’t really want to fight him but NOPE full on evil full on he was just using you. made even better by the context that he had been your biggest fan throughout the whole game while everyone else had been suspicious of you. i lost my entire mind. once again second place to n though

✨Self-Rec Tag Game ✨
Rules: Share five of your own fanworks (fic, art, etc.). Then, tag five more people to share the things they've made. I’ve put categories below, but they’re more guidelines than rules.  1. Something you absolutely adore 2. Something that was challenging to create 3. Something that makes you laugh (or smile, if that fits more comfortably)  4. Something that surprised you (in how it turned out, how much other people liked it, etc.) 5. Something you want other people to see
@gaysebastianvael and @dungeons-and-dragon-age tagged me back to do this; thank you both! c:
Tidal Lock (T, 20k words, Cullavellan): This fic is the first finished thing I posted to AO3. It's a pretty different style from the other things I've written, but it's my comfort read for myself. I love stories that loop in on themselves, so have a big ol soft spot for it c: Writing Cullen as a kid was so fun and I fully intend to do it again sometime.
My Fenris scarf. My hands are a bit shaky, so I have a hard time drawing things. Unfortunately, I needed to draw the lyrium brand design straight onto the yarn (not a great surface for drawing things, btw) before I could embroider them into it with the glow-in-the-dark yarn. It turned out really well, but just putting the design down with chalk paint took at least three hours (only a little less than doing all of the embroidery)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
3. Ohhh man, I'm having trouble deciding! Here are three options:
This ficlet about Elowen and Cullen after they almost kiss. They are both such an absolute mess, this conversation is even messier, and every time I think about it I get the giggles c:
This ficlet about Hawke producing most of a deck of cards from her and Fenris's person after a night at the Hanged Man (I just...think it's funny to imagine her sticking them into his belt during a card game and Fenris fully knows, but pretends he doesn't. for the bit)
This fic on AO3 (explicit) with Arianwen and Zevran; specifically the part after the smut things are done, when they're dusting each other off and lightly arguing about their little competition. They're just...such dorks sometimes.
4. Search Your Hands (E, 13,581 words), easy. I actually had this most of the way finished six months before I finished it, but I was convinced it was too silly to post (and thankfully @star--nymph convinced me that it was worth finishing <3).
One of my favorite things about writing Cullavellan is exploring the funky little miscommunications that happen with you're in a multicultural relationship and this fic was inspired by that. There's just a mismatch between Cullen (who, having very few personal possessions, is almost certainly inexperienced at receiving gifts) and a cultural tradition involving gift-giving as an expression of Serious Romantic Intent. I did not expect it to be as well-loved as it is, but it has (by a dramatic margin) the highest kudos to bookmarks ratio of all my stories (at ~1/3) and is like...the fifth most-kudo'd thing I have on AO3, which is wild for a one-shot with minimal smut.
5. Wander the Drifting Roads!! (M, 108,331 words)
It is the fic I am most proud of (though I think Palimpsest might be my number two at the moment) and it's also, indirectly, the reason I wound up actually deciding to participate in the Dragon Age fandom. I wouldn't have most of my fandom friends without Wander, so just that would be enough for me to want to share it.
Friendship aside, though, I think it's some of my best writing. Cullen is exposed to red lyrium and loses his memory in between the main game and Trespasser. His Lavellan (Emmaera) has to figure out how to carry on without him as Commander or her lover and they take a very long road back to each other again. If you're okay with some angst before a happy ending (or if you're really into yearning), I think it's a great exploration of what makes someone who they are: is it a formal title or role? is it memory? is it the circumstances they've overcome to get where they are? or is it something less easily-defined than that?
Writing Wander was very challenging (especially towards the end) but so rewarding and worth it. When I want to feel that very particular sort of hurt you get from a sad fic (the kind that twists in your heart), I open up Wander again and put myself through chapter 7.
(I want to stress that it does have a happy ending lol, and a whole anthology of sweet domestic things to follow it up, but I think most people hang onto the hurt part of the hurt/comfort in Wander lol)
I tried to tag most of my mutuals when I made the original post, but: @daggerbean I'd love to see what you've made! and anyone else who wants a reason to show off your fanstuff is welcome to join in c: Tag me so I can see!

Have any tutorials of how you draw your tallest? (Or irkens in general?)
If Cini could wear any human casual clothing, what would he wear that is comfortable?
If he had it his way, would Cini change the life of Irken society?( you know with the whole tall and short thing.) or change everything with the empire expansion. We know their people must have many enemies with other alien races but if there was an alternative to that and not concur or go to war with them, would Cini be that one Tallest to break that cycles? I mean he looked tired of being tallest.
I'm not the best teacher. My drawings are pretty inconsistent. The best I can explain my process is, make a mark, erase a mark, rinse, repeat until it looks like a figure.
These were drawn super quick. Not sure how much help they'll be, but I tried to leave in as many reference lines in as possible.
These are some sketches on how I approach drawing a tallest with the typical JV bone-skinny body frame
Tumblr media
The torso is where I struggle the most. I probably draw them too tall, but that's how it comes out.
It's fun to experiment with different body types;
From left to right; Tallest Spittle, Greezee and Blitz
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
From left to right: Tallest Miyuki, Dava and Kii
I have a tendency to draw women tallests with big hips (because that's fun for me), but Irkens really don't have gender dimorphism, and their fashion/ clothing styles are all unisex, so there's no need to follow that rule when you design your own ocs.
I would have to look through my blog to find any posts about how I draw smaller Irkens. Mostly same advice.
As far as Cini's choice in comfortable human clothing; his robes are very uncomfortable, so anything would feel comfy by comparison.
But I imagine he would immediately gravitate towards those flimsy tie dye sun dresses you see in those little hippie boutiques at the mall. Tie dye is something he would never have seen in the empire plus so many swirls and colors!
He would have a field day dress shopping. Most human male clothes would be too lacking in flair.
And to address the third question; Irkens are brainwashed at birth into believing their height based hierarchy is the natural and correct way for their society to operate and have been brainwashed into believing this for MILLIONS and millions of years.
I'm not sure if it's within the limits of his imagination to conceive a reality where Irkens did not serve a tallest who carried out the will and executed the design of the control brains.
BUT Cini wished from the moment he was measured someone, ANYONE else had been measured taller than him. His favorite partabout being tallest was lounging and smoking record breaking amounts of pipe amber.
His passion was his trapeze act and watching performances at the civilian theater. No "important" occupation really appealed to him when he was a cadet; too boring, not enough fun music and visuals. He only served in the military because all Irkens are required to go through basic training. His stats were a joke as far as his height bracket went. He stayed the same rank for almost 200 years.
Cini tried as hard as he could to be a good tallest, as much as his imposter syndrome made it for him. MOST of his reign was actually spent improving infrastructure within the empire's existing territories. He was a generous patron of the arts and sciences (beyond military research). Service drones legally received more off time and better medical benefits. Cini avoided brute force unless absolutely necessary. He loved to play ambassador. The Vortians, the Space Bees, the Inquisitorians, ect all became official allies of the Irken Armada during Cini's rule. He genuinely took the time and effort to listen to their concerns and compromise.
Cini was wise enough to know it's better to make friends than enemies in the long game, especially unnecessarily. The empire wasn't perfect, but Irkens and alien citizens alike enjoyed a higher quality of living under Cini's leadership methods.
It wasn't until the very end of his reign did he declare a war. He did so because of pressure forced down on him by the control brains, who were intimidated by the corrupting freedoms the lesser drones seemed to be enjoying and deeply concerned by the lack of new conquests that have been made over the centuries.
The Irken/ Planet Jacker war was bloody from the very beginning.
Cini would not live down the shame of his decision. Too many casualties on his conscience.
Every drone is worthy of dignity; Cini believed that. He would change A LOT about Irken society if he could. He tried. He wish he had tried harder.

Here’s these two AU refs I finished a few days ago.. I’ve been meaning to post them, but kept forgetting to! Please do not comment on the belts I know they look like shit, I was in a rush to finish these. 💀
Tumblr media Tumblr media
For some context [CW for child abduction and cult mentions] ;
These designs are for that Killing Game roleplay I’ve mentioned here a couple times. Both of them had survived alongside four other contestants, and were free to go once all was said and done. Mango left with the love of his life (that “Cheese” guy I mentioned), whilst Arsenic left .. without his daughter, Viktoriya, since the guys running the whole thing are a cult who abducted her to brainwash. But that doesn’t go without saying these survivors would all return five years later to do what they can to end the cult..and they won’t be doing it without a little bit of bloodshed. And so! that’s where these older designs come in.
What’s funny is the fact that one got a total glowup and is absolutely living the life with his little farming business combined with his husband’s business and just having each other’s backs, whilst the other just became (reasonably) so anxious and depressed over what may happen to his kid to the point where he could barely take care of himself ,, hence why he one day went and chopped his hair, and why it’s already turning silver. I think silver hair looks good on him tbh, but anyway fun times.
(he got to reunite with her though dw, it was really bittersweet I should draw it when I have motive to)
That is not the end however! The story is still going on, and as a result I..also made a ref for Radiant to slap into the next KG roleplay. 👀 I’m so excited to post it because I’m really proud of it and I’m having a lot of fun with this egehehehe

NCT (OT22) and their Genshin Impact Mains/Favorite Characters
This post is for an exceptionally niche group of people (like myself) who play Genshin Impact and also stan NCT so for that group of people, please enjoy I had so much fun writing this and creating the pictures/aesthetics and really just thinking of the whole thing. (No this did not stem from an absolute want to play Genshin Impact with them shut up.)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Taeyong - Nilou
Tumblr media
Taeyong is a Nilou main and I will die on that hill.
I feel like he'd really like her entire aesthetic, probably doesn't play a lot of video games so I see him going for characters looks and aesthetics more than play style (not to say that Nilou is bad I adore her and the few Nilou mains I've encountered). I think he would see a little bit of himself in her, both very caring, hardworking, and sharing the same passion for dance. And her Ult??? Strong believer that he would use it whenever it's full even when there's no enemies around purely because he thinks it's beautiful (Me too Taeyong).
Taeil - Tighnari
Tumblr media
You know how sometimes you just look at two things and you just know??? That's how I feel about Taeil and Tighnari. I can't really explain why I think Taeil would main Tighnari. I think like Taeyong, he'd like his overall aesthetic. Loves the big ears and the nature like vibe he has going on with the flowers and green shades. I think he would also really like Tighnari's entire personality. The way he's so smart but also so snarky. I could see Taeil trying to incorporate Tighnari's attitude into his own vocabulary if that makes sense at all?
Johnny - Childe/Tartaglia
Tumblr media
Firstly let me just start with the obvious
Johnny 🤝 Childe mains
Being an absolute menace memelord
It was actually a pretty hard tie up about whether he would play Childe or Itto but I ultimately went with Childe as I feel Johnny would definitely like and vibe with both of them but he would like Childe's playstyle more. The double weapon with his skill is definitely a big draw for Johnny. I feel like he'd also really like the double agent kinda vibe Childe has going for him. Being a playable character and friends with the Traveler but also being part of the Fatui??? That's absolutely sick.
Yuta - Kaeya
Tumblr media
Yet another one who I feel would choose more aesthetic over playstyle. But I also feel like once he's got a team made he wouldn't really change it so he's probably been a Kaeya main since the very beginning of the game and now at this point he's just attached. Probably has him c6 and maxed the fuck out with artifacts and weapons. Loves his playful yet serious demeanor and wants to be just like him. Also thinks he's gorgeous (me too Yuta, me too).
Kun - Ganyu
Tumblr media
Please help this man he sees way too much of himself in Ganyu (but as a Ganyu kinnie, felt Kun). Likes her playstyle more than anything. I think he would like a combined team of Ganyu as the main and some type of Hydro character like Mona who can apply Hydro to enemies while off the field so he can freeze them with Ganyu. He 100% enjoys fighting the Oceanid with her for fun. I can not explain why I just feel it in my bones that he just loves freezing everything in the game that he can, finds it very satisfying.
Doyoung - Amber
Tumblr media
BUNNIES 🐰🐰🐰🐰
No but seriously I think he's a bit like Yuta. Probably got her and then just never changed her from his team and now he's attached. But I can also see him really enjoying her playstyle. It's easy to grasp for beginner players and I can't really see him going out of his way to play competitively or anything like that so I think it's perfect for him. And I 100% see him enjoying bow characters more than any other type in the game so it's a win win.
Also loves the fuck out of Baron Bunny and probably wants a stuffed animal of one.
Ten - Yae Miko
Tumblr media
He reminds me of Miko so much and I know he would think the same way. He loves her character design so much. The colors, the EARS. Not to mention her personality??? Sexy but also sadistic and a bit twisted???? Sign him the fuck up he's going to main her until the day he dies. And her makeup? I know he'd try to recreate it. Maybe even asks the staff to try it for him for a public appearance.
Jaehyun - Ayato
Tumblr media
This one was hard. I had a hard time choosing between Ayato and Ayaka. Ultimately I feel like he'd main both and just have them on a team together but I decided to go for Ayato. I feel like he'd enjoy running around and exploring as Ayato more than Ayaka. I don't think he'd like her sprint all that much (as a former Ayaka main, it can get a bit annoying to control sometimes). Also loves watching Ayato's idles. Probably laughs everytime he pulls Boba out of his sleeve.
WinWin - Kazuha
Tumblr media
Like Taeil this was a match that I just knew you know? I feel like he'd enjoy using Kazuhas skill and watching all of the enemies cluster together and then plunge on them and one shot them. Probably has him built amazingly for the sole purpose of trying to one shot the smaller enemies (like hilichurls or mage hilichurls). I think he'd also like the flowy yet stoic samurai aesthetic Kazuha has going on. I could see him wanting to style his hair like Kazuhas for a comeback (though lets be real SM probably would never let him).
Jungwoo - Klee
Tumblr media
Loves exploding literally everything.
And if he's co-oping he likes to wait for the person to go AFK and then use Klee to set the ground on fire and kill their character cause he think it's funny. Him and Klee are a chaotic match made in heaven. He also just thinks she's super cute! She was probably the first five star he ever got and became really attached to her and now refuses to take her off his team or use anyone else. I could see him definitely having her built pretty well too. His Klee does some massive damage (part of that being just so he can set his friends on fire and kill them even faster).
Mark - Layla
Tumblr media
Probably one of my favorite duos that I thought of. I call them: The overworked and exhausted babies (SM please let Mark rest).
But in all honesty I can definitely see him relating hard to her which was a big reason why he decided to main her (but I could also see the same with Ganyu). I think he would enjoy her playstyle, probably enjoys using shield generating characters such as Layla, Zhongli, Noelle, etc. But he has that personal connection with Layla which is what made him decide on her. I feel like he'd also really like her character design. Likes the witchy, academic look but also how they really encaptured her tired and overworked state in her facial design! I could talk about Mark and Layla all day, like I said it's one of my favorite duos!
Xiaojun - Mona
Tumblr media
Same vibes
That is the best way I can describe it. He likes her sprint, thinks it's super unique! He probably lost his 50/50 in all honesty and decided that he was going to get his use out of her but he ended up really enjoying her play style and character. I think he'd also just really enjoy using Catalyst characters, he thinks the playstyle is fun. Probably quotes her all the time too just for fun. He loves the whimsical things she says.
Hendery - Bennett
Tumblr media
Another duo that I really like.
I can see Hendery being a healer 100% when it comes to doing domains, but also enjoying Bennett's character of always being unlucky, he thinks it's endearing! I could see him having his Bennett built really well, he probably does some massive damage and some good healing without needing all that many buffs. I could see his Bennett being his pride and joy and loves showing off the damage he can do.
Renjun - Albedo
Tumblr media
I am a strong believer in Renjun Albedo supremacy.
I can see him liking Geo characters so he probably had a hard time choosing who to main between all of his options. But he was probably drawn to Albedo both for their shared love of art and the air of mystery that Albedo has about him. I could see Renjun just simply thinking that Albedo is a cool character (strong agree) and he already knows he likes using Geo characters so it's kind of a win win. He gets a geo and he also get a character he just genuinely thinks is neat.
Jeno - Beidou
Tumblr media
Simply thinks she's a badass and a boss bitch. (He's right.)
He enjoys the pirate aesthetic and I can see him enjoying claymore characters. He practiced a lot when he started maining her so he could get the timing for her skill Tidecaller just right and deal maximum damage everytime. I can see him and The Dreamies domaining a lot together so his Beidou is probably pretty stacked in terms of artifacts and can do some damn good damage.
Haechan - Yoimiya
Tumblr media
As an NCTzen whose Ultimate bias is Haechan
Please let me explain
I also could 100% see him being a Hu Tao main. And I think it would be a situation like Jaehyun where he most likely would have both Hu Tao and Yoimiya on a team together. But I can see him gravitating more towards Yoimiya aesthetically. I think he would really like the fireworks she attacks with and thinks her ult is absolutely gorgeous! I could also see him doing her little sparkler spinny dance idle all the time during dance practices or just for fun. Essentially he's the Marge Simpson meme when it comes to Yoimiya. "I just think she's neat 😃"
Please I love this duo so much and I want it to be true so bad.
Jaemin - Diona
Tumblr media
I believe with my whole chest that Jaemin would play as a healer.
And she's a cat.
Oh my god
That's so cute.
He absolutely adores her. He is a proud Diona main and has maxed her out. I'm talking c6, triple crowned glory. She does some massive healing for his teammates (*cough cough* the dreamies *cough cough*) and he loves testing her out against the Oceanid to see how he can change up her artifacts to get even more damage out of her.
Honestly I think he would be a die hard Diona fan, I don't see anyone else having as much passion for her character as he would.
YangYang - Lisa
Tumblr media
Fell in love with her the moment he got her and put her on his team and he's never looked back sense. Like Mark he loves the academic witchy vibe she has but also really likes using a catalyst character and shocking enemies. I can see him also really liking her purple rose aesthetic and wanting to replicate it subtly in his own wardrobe if that makes sense?
Shotaro - Gorou
Tumblr media
No he does not care that the Genshin meta calls him and his kit useless he is going to make the best DPS Gorou or die trying. He loves him. He thinks his ears and tail are super cute and he loves the little dog that joins Gorou when he uses his skill or burst (like Doyoung I could definitely see him wanting a plush of it).
Spends a lot of his free time domaining and grinding so that he can make the #1 DPS Gorou. I could 100% see him streaming it with NCTzens so he isn't bored and alone. I can see him also really enjoying using bow characters.
Sungchan - Noelle
Tumblr media
He has her built like a TANK.
He wears the badge of Noelle main with pride.
I think he would enjoy really everything about her. He likes her character design, the cutesy maid uniform with pieces of armor scattered throughout to show that she's also a knight, the little rose petals in her hair and the fact that she swings around a giant claymore??? She is so badass and he believes that with every bone in his body.
Chenle - Xinyan
Tumblr media
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE TURN IT UP
This was the original headcanon that sparked this entire list. I LOVE the duo of Chenle and Xinyan.
I think he would think she's so cool and badass. The rock and roll aesthetic, the flames, he loves everything about her.
I know most people say you can't build Xinyan well for damage but as someone with a Xinyan on my team I think that's bullshit and he has his Xinyan BUILT. When he's doing Domains with the Dreamies he is absolutely carrying and crushing their opponents without much help needed other than for the pure fact of doing elemental reactions.
He grinds the hell out of domains and has her maxed out, triple crowned, the works.
Jisung - Sayu
Tumblr media
By far another one of my all time favorite duos.
I love the idea of Sayu main Jisung. I think when you put him and Chenle together they are unstoppable. Jisung uses Sayus swirl to his full advantage and even the physical damage and healing stats on his Sayu absolutely slap. He probably grinds domains with Chenle and though his Sayu probably isn't triple crowned or maxed yet she's probably pretty damn close (he's working on it).
I can see him being a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to his Sayu and she'll never fully be built. He wants her to be perfect and so his grind for Artifacts will never really end as he always wants the best next artfact for her.
But that's okay, whatever makes him happy, and it'd be a real big testament of his love and appreciation for the character

Hey! Just found your blog, (yippee!) and saw in your about page you said you like to write about the villains - so if you're still doing the ask game, gotta know about 1 (and if it's cool, 5 & 38 too?) Cheers!
Absolutely! I'd love to answer all three, even:
1. Fave villain?
Definitely Rastapopoulos. He has a lot going on, and I've had a lot of fun unravelling his backstory from archival material. He's the typical mustache-twirling cartoon bad guy who just wants to "take over the world", and he was actually successful at this...but his sole undoing is always just some fucking kid with a little dog. Tintin doesn't want to keep running into Rastapopoulos, but over time the latter keeps getting sloppier and more manic with his planning, so it's just inevitable that he'll eventually get busted. It's a really funny dynamic to me. Like, imagine if some college freshman just set out to do an English assignment, and he accidentally took down El Chapo.
(I secretly wish I was better at drawing Rastapopoulos, though. If I soften his design too much, he looks like a Moomin, or if I make him too realistic in my style, he looks like Mr. Weatherbee. I have to keep training ^^;)
5. Fave thing about the Tintin series?
I love how much lore and hidden continuity there is throughout the series. A lot of characters who went on to become series mainstays actually started as bit characters (i.e. Castafiore's first canon appearance was just a joke about listening to live opera in a closed vehicle), but the Herge Studio crew obviously thought to bring them back for later roles. Over the course of Red Rackham's Treasure, you can almost feel Herge get more attached to Professor Tournesol, turning him from a one-off wacky scientist character (i.e. the various scientists of Shooting Star) to a valued member of the team. Not every detail we see leads to something later on in canon, but it makes for some really fun speculation with other fans.
38. Which is your favourite adventure from Tintin comics and why?
The Calculus Affair feels to me like it has the best blend of drama and comedy. It makes a very tense (faux) historical thriller, and it also has that great scene where Castafiore tricks Colonel Sponsz into giving up a government document...it adds so much to Castafiore's overall character, and it also gives the reader time to breathe in the middle of such a tight story. Sponsz himself also makes for a very ominous, striking main villain in this album.

Fuck it, Simon Belmont, because why not you basically themed your blog after him
You don’t have any specific numbers, so I’m just answering every question >:3c mwahahaha—
1. “Why do you like this character”:
A lot of reasons!!! First off, most of his games are super fun and some of my favorite platformers just in general. I replay CV1, Simon’s Quest, and SCV4 most often cause they’re a real joy to play! I also absolutely LOVE Simon’s story, I’ve considered making comics about it if I could ever get out of recent art block whoops, even though I’ve seen many people say he doesn’t have one (´TωT`). His designs are really cool, he’s got great music in his games, there’s just a lot to love and I’ll explain more in detail in other questions.
2. “Favorite canon thing?”
I really like the concept that he looks up to Christopher as this legendary hero and then ends up considered the same kind of legendary hero by Juste and others after him. It’s pretty ironic, kinda bittersweet, especially after being hated for so long. Castlevania loves its cycles like that. Also just Simon’s Quest in general, I love that game.
3. “Least favorite canon thing?”
Ooo that’s very hard. There’s kinda a lot of things about him that aren’t explained or confirmed, especially personality wise, but I kinda like that in a way cause it leaves room for interpretation and whatnot. Idk hmmm. I’m gonna go with Grimoire of Souls in general. I had some hopes for it, but it ended up being kinda lame. A lot of the characterization was weird and don’t even start me on things like the Cursed Whip theory being in there 💀. So I just choose to ignore it and not consider it canon.
4. “If you could put this character in another media, what would it be?”
I have thought about drawing him as if he was a character in other series for ages lol. I’ve already drawn him as a Pokémon trainer, I’ve thought about drawing Castlevania and Soul Eater crossovers before, and I tried drawing him in the style of Resident Evil 1 but could not get the art style down. Idk put him in Fortnite or something that’d be funny we already got Solid Snake so Konami has been in talks with them I guess X,,,,,,,,,,D
5. “What’s the first song that comes to mind when you think of them?”
Probably either Simon’s Theme (of course lol) or Bloody Tears, but I do wanna mention that I have a YouTube playlist of songs I wanna make Simon animations with eventually (alas animation is HARD).
6. “What’s something you have in common with the character?”
Mostly negative things unfortunately d(;w; ). Like self comparison, doubt in my own abilities, trouble making and keeping friends, etc etc. Although a lot of these are based on assumptions and interpretations, as a lot of him usually is. Simon does have a really similar hair color to me on the NES box art tho so that’s cool.
7. “What’s something the fandom does with this character that you like?”
There’s a lot of really nice art of him!!! Usually portraits, but sometimes there’s other doodles and whatnot too :3. Cool fan redesigns too! I also have seen a lot of neat headcanons, a lot of which I’ve adopted. I also appreciate the Captain N reunion stuff for the most part, it’s pretty wholesome.
8. “What’s something the fandom does with this character that you don’t like?”
I’ve seen a lot of comics, especially around when Smash Bros Ultimate came out, that were really… weird. I think all of them could kinda be boiled down to “old = bad” in the way that the artists probably just found out he was from the 1600s and then decided to make him the Boomer to Richter’s Gen Z for whatever reason (ya know despite Richter being from the 1700s but anyway). Simon would either be the jerk in the situation and/or the butt of the joke. I don’t think that Simon would have any issue with any of the female characters’ outfits let alone start harassing them for it. I saw some comics that made fun of him for not speaking very much in some genuinely disgusting ways too. Like making him not able to read or practically just the generic caveman stereotype. Especially in cases where the artist would depict other silent NES protagonists really nicely after making Simon out to be a complete idiot and asshole. There was also the trend of making him generally be all “oh no witchcraft!!!!!!!!!! What sin!!!!!!! The horror!!!!!!!!” about like anything and everything. I guess a lot of this comes from Smash Bros fans not usually being fans of Castlevania, but I’ve seen it in the Castlevania fandom too just less frequently. There’s also the “Simon has no story” thing oof. I’ve seen people tell people to skip his games or play fan games instead before :(
9. “Could you be roommates with this character?”
Realistically, no, my room is too small for another person :(. If that wasn’t an issue, then yeah probably :).
10. “Could you be best friends with this character?”
I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO—
11. “Would you date this character?”
No, he’s probably married, generally feels more like a bestie, and I’m aroace lol
12. “What headcanon do you have for this character?”
Too many oh my god. I think he probably makes things. That’s a very vague sentence lol, but think like armor, knives, general woodworking, all his necklaces and headbands and stuff, etc. He generally seems like he keeps to himself and lives mostly alone, so I can see him doing all that by himself. He keeps some bones and teeth of things he hunts most of the time. A lot of people have him as the most super Christian of the family, but I see him as like Christian but really not organized or strict about it, if that makes sense? I’ve seen someone else describe the Belmonts as like “Christopagan” before and yeah I think that fits. Idk why but I have consistently drawn him with his cross necklace in his mouth sometimes. I headcanon him as semiverbal (I think that’s the correct term for it, basically like inbetween speaking and nonspeaking). I like to think he’s like really average height for the 1600s cause he’s about as tall as other townspeople and skeletons and stuff. Which is funny cause that’d make him like 5’5-5’7 ish and that’s kinda short in modern day lol. And I guess that makes his 8bit sprite being used all the time make more sense XD. I have way more, I didn’t even get into Simon’s Quest related ones, but I don’t wanna make this too long aaaaaaaaaaaa
13. “What’s an emoticon that reminds you of the character or you think they’d use a lot?”
Ok this is funny cause I actually do have one for this and it’s got context. It’s the “:3”. So I was watching a bunch of people’s playthroughs one night cause I was bored and ran into a channel with a toooooon of speedruns of maps from Harmony of Despair. Whenever they’d get to a boss battle they’d use the typing feature just to go “hi” with a different cutesy emoticon every time, but when they got to Dracula they specifically went for the “hi :3” and then went “oh no :(“ when Dracula started attacking and now that’s the way I think he’d text I guess.
14. “Assign a fashion aesthetic to this character”
How does one properly explain how much this guy slays in one aesthetic term—
15. “What’s your favorite ship for this character?”
Oooooo, in canon probably like his wife (Selena) and/or the Mysterious Woman (who could be the same character depending on what theories you go by), but outside of that Simon Belmont x Getsu Fuma and I can’t even explain exactly why, but it’s pretty cute.
16. “What’s your least favorite ship for this character?”
Any BelmontXBelmont shipping ugh, it’s unfortunately really common on some places… also the whole Lucas or Pit or whatever other child character thing the smash bros fandom had ugh. I guess I also just don’t see the appeal of shipping any of the Belmonts with Dracula.
17. “What’s a ship you don’t hate but it’s not your favorite?”
I’ve also seen people ship him with Solid Snake, Palutena, or Bayonetta before. Ummm he doesn’t really have a lot of other characters he’s shipped with tbh. Idk I saw someone ship him with one of the priests from Simon’s Quest once.
18. “Relationship in canon you admire?”
Unfortunately he doesn’t really talk to people enough in game to form canon relationships 😔
19. “Relationship in canon you don’t like?”
I don’t even know if I can answer this one for the same reasons as the above 💀💀💀. I guess the townspeople hating the hell out of him, but I don’t hate that cause it’s kinda integral to the plot???? Yeah idk lol
20. “What character is the ideal best friend for this character?”
Simon and Shanoa would get along a lot I think. Sara too. Hmmmm… I think he and Alucard would probably also be good friends. Christopher too for many reasons. Simon just really needs friends my poor dude is out here in Dracula’s Castle and the Romanian countryside after being cursed alone like this poor guy :’(
21. “If you’re a fic writer, what’s your favorite thing to do when writing this character? What’s something you don’t like?”
I have not written much at all, however what small comics I have done I looooove to make sure to sprinkle in whatever symbols he has in the games into it. He has a lot of cool things ranging from like rose thorns to The Hanged Man card and a lot of them end up meaning things like martyrdom and whatnot idk I made a post about it a while ago :3. I also like specifically Simon’s Quest speculation stuff, like what if scenarios for the vague, left open spots of it. If it’s not something super angsty or lore heavy, it’s usually just wholesome character interactions or doodling him being comforted by Christopher or Trevor cause I was sad or something lol. As far as things I don’t like writing uh idk that’s hard, maybe just any kind of filler scenes cause I’m not very good at those oof. Dialogue is hard too 💀💀💀
22. “If you’re a fic reader, what’s something you like/don’t like to see in fics?”
I’ve mentioned a lot of things I don’t like seeing in uh question 8, but things I do like is when people really try to go full horror with him. I’ve seen some Simon’s Quest fics (sadly there’s very few :’3) that really try to get that same feeling of anxiousness and dread the game does and I love that honestly. It’s a really dark story in the series! I also saw one that went psychological horror with it with him kinda losing himself a little at night it’s just ough it’s cool :D! Simon is a horror protagonist! Make him afraid!!!
23. “Favorite picture of this character?”
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Again, too many!!! X3
24. “What other character from another fandom reminds you of them?”
Not from fandoms I am in (yet, hopefully I’ll get into these), but Ragnvaldr from Fear and Hunger I’ve heard is just directly inspired by him and Alfred from Bloodborne also, to me, seems heavily inspired by him. The whole Vilebloods section seems very Castlevania inspired tbh. From other fandoms I’m in, that’s hard to say, there’s not really any I don’t think.
25. “What was your first impression of this character, is it the same as now?”
Well I got into Castlevania through Smash Bros and at first was completely indifferent about him, he was just kinda fun to play as. Then Richter got me to play SotN and actually get into the series more. I had no idea I had SotN on XBOX360 for a long time, but that made it pretty easy to start playing. And now I am absolutely hooked and Simon is my favorite character so uh yeah X3.
26. “Freebie!”
I guess I just say anything? Ok, I am currently half trying to cosplay Simon’s Simon’s Quest design rn! I have like everything but the armor, but I’ll have to wait a while to be able to get materials for it oof. But yeah :). Hopefully that works out. 
Ok yeah that’s pretty dang long wow, but yeah, thanks for the ask!!!! I am happy to rant about Simon anytime :3
