Hello! I was wondering if you’d be willing to take commissions someday 👀. No pressure tho! I just love your art so much
The short answer: "not at the moment, but it is very possible in the future'!
The slightly longer answer: I would have to figure out a good pricing and payment system! PD-MDZS is also where most of my free time goes, so until my life settles down a bit, I would be on the slow side to complete them.

yknow sometimes i feel like. if fandom was a kindergarten playground i've been spending the past several years just sitting in a corner of the sandbox by myself making my little sand sculptures just for myself to look at and maybe there are other kids who come by to take a peek every once in a while but mostly its just me and my shitty little sand sculptures
and now suddenly i've gotten a lot better at my sand sculptures and the playground is a lot smaller and so there are people who know that im good at making sand sculptures and specifically come by to my corner of the sandbox because they like my sand sculptures and sometimes those people are teachers who walk past and give a thumbs up and tell the other kids to come look and its so. new and cool and exciting but also its so different from anything i've experienced before and im not saying thats bad its just. a lot to get used to. im still not that good at playing with the other kids and i still hate having others be around to watch me make stuff because i've never had that before and i have no idea how to.. do.. a lot of this. but it's okay. i'll learn.

So... I know I'm late...
But yea! I said I was coming back with some stickers and I kept my word! I would've hoped that I could've completed the sheet in like a day but as you can see...that didn't work out
I know I've been a bit MIA lately but burnout sucks. I do have a lot of WIPS I really want to work on but again, it seems that the ProcrastiNation hath struck my feeble mortal brain again.
But anyways:
I headcanon Aroace Mei, just a personal headcanon (disagree if you like) I also like lesbian Mei but thought I'd give some aroace appreciation
Silktea was only given 1 episode but OH BOY did it fuel our wild shipping habits. And I jumped on the bandwagon. It's a reference to that scene in She-Ra where Scorpia tells Catra she 'didn't want to do this' then wraps kitty up in the blankey and cradles her like a wee baby. And Sandy would do that for any friend, I will die on this hill
Saw a fanart where Mk had a pig nose themed pacifier and I just yoinked that idea. The pig hoodie and the pacifier seems like something Tang would do for Pigsy (also to get away with free noodles cause who can say no to that face?~)
Mac showing Wukong the lantern. What can I say, mans' fascinated by them pretty lights. Though our little performer's eyes seem to be straying from the show (^u ')
I know many people have issues with shipping with Nezha and such and I know the two had a rough history but y'know what fans do; they love to make the people who kill each other soulmates (platonic, romantic or otherwise) Even if it wasn't romantic, I still love the idea of them being buddies and just chilling, the danger noodle prince and the angy prince snuggle and watch a movie (mainly from Nezha 2019 but I also saw New Gods and can I just say, I want those two twinks to bicker then kiss awkwardly and I want Yun Xiang to BEAT. HIS. ASS) but in case anyone asks, I do perceive Nezha to be a consenting adult in general outside shipping drama and if the two are adults, it does make my heart squeal when I see these two hold hands and whatnot
HOW COULD I EVER FORGET MY SPICYBOIS, inspired by that one Ponyo kiss scene. I was actually gonna make a bigger piece but then I saw someone do it already in a much better fashion than I ever could and I just gave up on the idea but Ig here, its just like the two cakes mentality and I gave it a go. Hope I could do the concept justice
Have spider queen or scorpion queen ever interacted before? No. But they are both queens and I believe Spider Queen's confidence could rub off on Scorpion Queen and she'd appreciate the company of Spider Queen's children henchmen. Also she give yummy food so lesbian venomqueens for the win
Redraw of that moment with Peng and Azure. I normally detest that bird but these two do get some gears grinding and whatever anyone says. Neither of those two are straight. I'll tell ya that.
Toxicinsanity is another rarepair that had like 1 sec screen time. I don't think they'd ever work out in canon and had virtually no chemistry. I still love all the fluffy ship content I can find of them though and if it ever were to happen. I think the mayor would scare the sh!t out of Syntax
Let's get at least one hetero couple here, Chang'e and Hou'Yi are a couple of favorites ngl, I took most of their outfits from Over the moon cause both of them looked stunning, Chang'e especially. I've seen people ship mah girl with other people and while I do agree it's healthy to move on, in my heart she will always long for Hou'Yi
Also irl, on valentines, my mum took us out for lunch, she treated us to bubble tea and donuts. We walked home so I waited to drink mah drink in my room while I drew and I accidentally finished it all... I'm so sorry mum
f*ck I forgot ironbull. Uhh....I'll draw something later, rn I need to go to bed before I get yelled at...
click pic for less sh!ty quality!

I swear I dont wanna be mean but why does everyone keep making stella fat. Why is it that the most attractive character, whom everyone finds beautiful inside the show, is the one who is always turned fat. Like... No one would find her attractive if her canon design was like that. I promise im not being mean but I feel like the artists are always projecting themselves onto Stella and wanting to be loved like she is, cause usually the ones making her fat are fat too, like I saw your selfies and you're a bit curvy. I promise im not being mean im just curious.
For starters, send me more fat Stella’s if you can I haven’t seen that many made and would love to see more varied takes on her appearances in redesigns.
Secondly, I made her fat because I think it’s nice to have the character that’s canonically considered to be the most beautiful girl in all of magix, a fashion icon in the magical dimension, a very celebrated trendsetter, be something other than the stereotypical concept of socially acceptable fashion tropes. She isn’t an hourglass, she has cellulite and stretch marks, she’s super pear shaped, and that can be and should be considered something to be normal, since they are, and shouldn’t be seen as things that need to be hidden. Having that put on a loud and proud fashion girly seems good imo and it can only really contribute to good stuff for body image stuff and representation. I did it so people like you could reconsider that beauty is something that comes in multiple forms and shouldn’t have to fit one type of standard. If we wanna get super technical too those standards also very from culture to culture and I image that’s extended even further in Winx club.
The girls are all aliens from different worlds. There’s bug people. There’s a lady in the miss magix episode that has tentacle hair, a blue body, and tentacle hands and feet. I highly doubt beauty standards in canon would be the same as what you’re saying, ie that no one would consider her beautiful. As if people who look like her irl also would inherently be considered not beautiful too. I know lots of people who have people that think they’re the hottest thing ever and they have all sorts of different body types and traits. Lets just call it realism lol
I’m not really projecting any of my physical stuff on her also, outside of I guess stretch marks and cellulite?? But I put those on other characters too so I don’t really think that holds up. I actually put my old body type on Flora since she’s my favorite, but now I’m way more midsized, like a slightly thinner Bloom from my stuff (love this unit of measurement gonna start using the gorls as a reference point for my appearance going forward lol). I’ve always had the “socially acceptable” fat type of body, ie hourglass with even proportions and a super snatched waist. I just think it’s tired and trite to constantly reenforce the idea that “the hot fashion one” needs to be tall and thin all the time, and if she is made fatter, that she needs to look like I did ie not much of a tummy with super equal proportions, big boobs, and a big ass.
Kinda related to that also, I made a post about a lot of character design “rules” too that I think are kinda outdated and annoying, at least to me, since I’ve seen them a million times. We all have. So I decided to do something different that I think would be good for normalizing traits outside of what we consider typically acceptable for that kind of character.
I’m already very loved also and don’t need to project anything on Stella lmaooo
I got multiple partners, great friends, do modeling, and am slaying with my own fashion and appearance stuff outside of that too. That’s all independent of whatever I’m doing with her physical body type when I draw her.
Gonna level with you also, you going “I’m not trying to be mean” doesn’t erase how weird this ask is. Sounds like you have your own gripes that you need to work through. Like, if you consider those traits on Stella ugly, that means you definitely have some internalized hatred for fatness, skin blemishes, scarring, and other peoples’ general appearances if they don’t fit some specific molds that aren’t realistic for the majority of people. Even if it is just genuine curiosity, being aware of this stuff going forwards and reevaluating how you view beauty standards and bodies in general would do you a great benefit imo.
Thanks for going through my old selfies tho it was pretty weird of you but at least make sure to leave a like on them. I looked hot when I was fatter and I look hot now too sharing this with the world is the least I can do💕✨💕✨

(this ask is based on the, I'm not sure if unfounded, assumption that at least 1/6(?) main crew members has some sort of non-ace/aro attraction): How do you write allo characters as an aro person? I'm one of those annoying allos who's *hyper-romantic* and working on hypersexuality for my own health, so I color most of my writing with that and struggle to write ace people. I know a lot of writers can distance themselves more. I guess I'm just curious how you inspire your characters to act socially outside of the way that you interact, specifically in terms of romanti/sexual relationships. I'm pretty good at getting my characters to engage with the world outside of my way of doing it until it comes to romance.
It's… tough, and I'm working on it. I still need to remind myself that a lot of people legitimately do experience sexual attraction and thus find certain other people in certain situations extremely physically appealing, in contrast to my own platonic attraction (the people I like, I typically like the same amount no matter what they're doing or how they look) or aesthetic attraction (when I like how someone looks in a specific situation, it is still in an extremely hands-off "I'd like to draw that" way).
I can work my way through the logic of romance, I think. I've been told that it doesn't feel the same as friendship, and that it places another person in a somewhat uniquely structural role for one's life. I've heard it described as being someone's "everything-team" - the person they want by their side at any endeavor - which is the only thing I've ever heard about romance that I don't think applies to a good percentage of my IRL friendships.
Romantic attraction is definitely the more confusing one, because everyone I know in a romantic relationship insists it's different than their platonic ones, but can't really explain why or how, only that it is. The thing is, this makes me believe them more. I know how hard it is to explain a unique inner experience to someone who has a completely different one. Their partner is their best friend, or at least top three (understandable) and also in a unique position in their life (confusion??) I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything, and I think I love my friends as much as I'm capable of, and there are people I'm friends with who I could see as a theoretical partner - except that it would change absolutely nothing about our current relationship. This is why I don't identify with the label of "aromantic" where I definitely do with "asexual", because I think I experience what people are talking about, I just feel it kinda everywhere instead of nowhere.
So the hack I think I can make work to do this in my writing is:
Sexual attraction is like aesthetic attraction, but with a hands-on component. Replace "I want to draw that" with "I want to get my hands on that" and go from there.
Romantic attraction is evidently its own beast, but it contains concepts like "I trust this person implicitly," "I care about them and want them to be happy," "I would be happy coming home to this person," "I want to protect them," "I like that they care about me," and "this person helps me see the world in a different way" which are all individual sentiments I understand, even if I personally feel them about a large number of people rather than a single Special Someone. Point them at a single Someone and have the two characters involved act accordingly, and I can probably pull a romance out of it.
Like all writing-an-alien-situation stuff, it mostly pays to identify the specific details that correlate to things you DO understand and then extrapolate from there. Or you can fake it and black-box their motivations and be like "here's where I'd put their sexual attraction to each other if I had one"

Thinking about Garou
Question: "Compared to the first season, which draws attention to Saitama's exhilarating punches, the second season focuses on story development. Did you have any specific goals while drawing the story?" Murata: "There was one thing that I requested from ONE Sensei before drawing my re-illustrated manga. At first, there were plans to cut out Garou's childhood with the bully in my version, but that scene really left an impression on me. I thought it was a vital part of understanding Garou's position, so I discussed it with ONE Sensei and requested that I be able to leave it in for y version. And it was paced so well in the anime! I believe it ended up being a very high-quality scene." -- From the liner notes of One-Punch Man Season 2.
I'm including this because I feel it's fundamental to really talk about Garou with any depth. Garou without context does not make sense. He is a kind, sensitive, and thoughtful young man who wants to do good in the world. Yet, he caused a horrifying amount of harm, both directly and indirectly, and ultimately undermined his own goals.
I'm glad that ONE listened to Murata about keeping Garou's childhood flashback. Without it, he'd just have been a thug attacking heroes for no reason to us (pretty much as the heroes saw him). Not only that, but ONE has gone a lot further in the manga in showing us the context in which Garou grew up that's been very helpful for understanding who Garou is, what he saw, and making some sense of his powerful yet contradictory desires.
Ultimately Garou is Garou. He's his own person and the buck for his actions firmly stops with him. No matter what, I can't imagine him not being an independent thinker with the determination to put his thoughts into action.
But...
...the tragedy of his thinking becomes clear when we see his thinking of monsters as metaphors for what is misunderstood or unacceptable in ourselves (a popular enough one IRL where monsters aren't real) and compare it with the reality of his world in which monsters have won, successfully restricting humans to one continent, and people like heroes because they are reminders that sometimes, even apparently overwhelming evil can be defeated. Nothing good happens when you deny the reality around you.
You know Garou's rant about uniting the world with fear? It's a standalone rant in the webcomic. The manga gives us a snapshot of the context in which he came to this conclusion. As this is a place that is no stranger to natural disasters -- forget the monsters -- Garou has no doubt experienced at least one big storm, or flood, or earthquake, or volcanic eruption in his life. In those days and weeks that follow, he's no longer an outcast. Nobody cares about where you come from or who you are: people help each other. At least until normalcy is restored. That's something he's directly experienced.
Tumblr media
That's just human nature: even in individualistic societies, for every report of looting in the wake of a natural disaster, there are hundreds of people trying to help. And this is a much more collectivist society that has to deal with disasters semi-regularly. That's the sense of looking out for each other in the face of a tragedy bigger than any person he wanted to recreate—only permanently.
Tumblr media
Then we get bits of Garou through the people around him. We got nothing about his parents in the webcomic but in the manga, his parents refuse to see him or get him out of custody. They've given up on him. To make it worse, the audience ONE is writing for understands that Garou is a minor until he's 20 (the law recently changed in Japan but it wasn't even up for debate when ONE started writing OPM). So they've done the equivalent of washing their hands of a 16-year-old. That's got to have hit Garou very, very hard, even if he was estranged from them. He'd have liked it if his father cared enough to tell him what to do.
Tumblr media
We see how Bang has literally taken on the role of in loco parentis. It's been interesting to see that the reason Bang has chased after Garou so relentlessly is because he sees himself in the young man. However, we also see that he deeply misunderstands Garou too. Bang beat up people because he was an extremely selfish young man who felt he was entitled to everything.
Tumblr media
Garou beat up people because he is an extremely thoughtful young man who sees himself as bringing a great good into the world at the expense of some heroes.
Tumblr media
It's definitely going to cause trouble but that's okay -- nothing in life is smooth and such differences are inevitable. With love, such struggles are worthwhile.
Garou's an object lesson in why the energy to do things in the world rarely comes with the power to make those changes. His overly simple solutions were disastrous. But one thing we can also say about Garou: he's a fast learner. He's literally rebuilding his life little by little in the webcomic by rebuilding the world around him. In the manga, he's been given the opportunity to sift through his thinking and find what's genuinely good. We'll see how it all shakes out.

Kinktober 6
Tumblr media
♡: Spider-noir x Spider!f!reader
Genre: smut
Warning: Bondage kink, what usually is in smut, oral, has some plot, 90's slang, unprotected sex (wrap it before tapping it irl 🙏) some praising
Word count: 1.3k
A/n: it's been so long since I wrote abt this man 😫 (late post)
Summary: Noir has been stressed, you lend a hand (or a mouth) to help him relieve the stress.
Tumblr media
The spider-verse or the Arachno- Whatever it was called. You liked the name spider-verse better.
Anyways
You've been spider-women for about a year now. You were invited to the Spider Society, by Miguel O'Hara.
6 feet tall grumpy rainstorm. He was the guy who ran the thing, surprisingly.
Forget him, you were sent on missions with other spider-people.
I mean talk about how many spider-man and women there were.
There was one spider-man you got along with the most. You two clicked on the first meet. 
And maybe you develop a tiny crush on him, on the way.
But who wouldn't?!
He was outgoing, cute, funny, and such a gentleman. Basically irresistible.
Spider-noir. A spider-man from the 30's. With his fancy hat and coat. Not to mention the silly goggles he uses.
You two just finished a mission, swiftly capturing the anomaly.
Noir wanted you to swing by the bar with him. (Literally) He loved spending his time with you. 
So imagine how happy he was when you agreed to join him. He opened the door for you and you walked into the bar.
He ordered himself an egg cream. While you order yourself carbonated beverages. You both sat in the corner to draw less attention to yourselves.
As your drinks were handed you took a sip of yours. You looked at Noir, he's pulled up half of his mask.
You could see his lips. His kissable lips.** You smiled slightly.
"So, how's your week?" You asked him, trying to conjure small talk.
"It's gotten better." He smiled. 
"Rough week, hm?" You questioned. "Yeah, you could say that." He hummed. He placed down his drink.
"Wanna talk about it?" You tilted your head.
"I don't want to bore you to death, doll." He muttered.
"It's fine, I won't mind."  You softly smiled at him.
"Well, it's been sort of stressful. With the missions and everything. " He sighed.
"Miguel hasn't given you a day off?" You frowned. His head shook. You tried to process what he just told you.
"Well, I could help you…" You hid your face with your drink.
"With the sick day?" He responded. "No with the stress, of course." You grin. He flinch upon hearing you say that, choking on his drink.
"H-How so?" He stuttered, obviously turning red by the second. He was thinking of something, something messy.
You chuckled slightly at his flustered state. He knew what you were thinking about.
"Only if you're up to it." You smiled. He pulled his mask down and got up. He was too flustered to even think.
He went over to pay the bartender, and went back over to you. He picked you up bride style.
You two headed out.
He swung back to his apartment. Placing you down on the balcony.
"You‐ okay?" He asked, checking to see if he didn't harm you in any way. "I'm good, you know I could have swung with you."
"Right! Goodness, It must have scrambled from my mind." He blushed under his mask, embarrassed.
He was so focused on being close to you, he completely forgot you were also a spider-man. He felt like he was everywhere, when he was close to you.
"Sit," You stated.
You pointed over to his couch. He complied and sat down. You sat below him, on your knees.
You slid off his pants. His length flung out, as it was already hard. He covers his face with a hand.
Nervous, his grit throbbed. You pulled off your mask, showed your face.
Noir had seen your face before, he was just always in awe seeing your beautiful face.
Goodness gracious, you were so perfect. He couldn't help thinking.
You held his cock in your hands. You kissed his tip, the pre-cum all over your lips.
You devour his cock into your mouth, balls deep. It touched deep in your throat. You gag on his cock.
Noir felt the vibration of your gaging, small whimpers left him.
You went down on him, which got Noir to make a lot more sounds. His hips buckled, his hand gripping the couch.
You looked at him, big pleady eyes, enjoying his noises. He can't bear to lay a finger on you. You were too pretty for his own pleasure.
You bobbed your head up and down at a pace he was satisfied at. His groans and whimpering were leaking.
Your cunt felt like it was throbbing, on how much he was making you aroused.
You knew he was close by his breathing, one final deep throating, and you felt all his warmth slick in your throat.
You swallow all of it. Every last drop of it. Noir got red noticing upon this.
You got up and sat beside him. He pushed you onto your back.
He was now on top of you. He now had his mask off. He raises both of your arms up, webbing them together.
He kissed your neck. "I want you to feel good now, Doll." He mumbled in your ear. You couldn't help but blushed at his words.
"May I?" He tugged at your suit. You nodded and allowed him to undress you. He gently took off your suit.
Noir was nervous, wanting to please and pleasure you. He wanted to do a good job of it.
He loved you so much.
He saw your underwear, and it made his cock get tighter. He saw the wetness seeping through your panties.
He pulled it off you, revealing your puffed cunt. He lined his cock with your entrance. The head of his tip enters you.
You let out a moan, as he started to stretch you. You tighten around him. He grunted, at your squeezing.
"Goodness gracious, you are so tight…" He praised you.
He laid out small kisses on you. You felt yourself go breathless from his kissing. You were also nervous too.
He got his full length to fit inside you, so perfectly, like you were made for him. He huffed and started moving in and out.
His pace was sloppy, but good enough for you to build up your orgasm.
You moan every time he deepens his thrust. He was quite good for being inexperienced, you thought.
Was he though?
No clue.
He continues his pace, making you feel amazing. You whine, longing to grab something,
Your arms were webbed, making it a lot harder to resist orgasming.
You moaned, when you reached your climax. A cum ring around Noir's cock. You didn't want to stop here and neither did Noir.
So he continues to fuck you a lot quicker, but still at a gentle touch.
"Ah mn- ha, shit-" You moaned at every thrust. Your thighs were shaking at the tense feeling.
"N-noir, ah" More wet noises filled the room. You felt so helpless without your hands and arms.
I mean you could've probably broken out of those webs by now, but…
What's the fun in that?
"Al' most there, sweetheart." He kissed your stomach.
Noir's been holding your legs up for a steady thrust. You could feel him getting close because the pace quickened.
You rubbed your clit trying to increase the pleasure. As you came, Noir pulled out his seed spilling all over your stomach.
He hid his face in embarrassment. He broke you out of your bondage.
You got up quickly to kiss his lips, just what you wanted to do earlier.
Your hands wrapped around his neck, lifting the mask off his face. He took glasses out of his pocket to wear.
You giggled, "Still pretty cute with glasses, hm?" 
"You too, you're pretty delightful too." He confessed.
You both bathe in each other's warmth the rest of the night.

consider: amanda flirts with angela in the most unhinged way, is half-joking bc she thinks she never has a chance but angela takes it seriously.
(as always, this is all in the fictional RPF universe and is not about/speculating on the actual people, even if im drawing from irl actions. At most its for the fictionalized versions of the online personas)
LOVE this concept for the RPF universe. I think I'm gonna go the angst route with this one bc I just- can't resist. Amanda in the position where she feels so strongly that the flirting and the comments slip out without her meaning to, and she's also so certain that it would never work that she just leans into it- takes it over the top. Constant. Wild and ridiculous, because she feels so strongly about it.
and Angela obviously is just kind of. In over her head because- what the fuck? Maybe she knows how she feels about Amanda and it just kind of feels like the universe playing a sick joke on her, because the flirting is so over the top it can't be real. Maybe she doesn't but she knows her insides get kind of coiled up whenever Amanda does it and she has to cling to her improv capabilities with both hands and try to play it off, bc if she thinks too hard about it, then- then-
So Angela doesnt really do it back 100%, or at some point, sometimes she starts bailing out of the bits earlier than she needs to, because she just- can't, can't keep it up as only a bit. Not when its just so much, and it seems to happen more and more often, and Angela can act, can act well, but its all just a little too real.
And Amanda, who is trying to not get her hopes up and is trying to outrun her feelings by treating it as a convoluted, extensive joke and doubling down on it as just a joke. Is, despite her best efforts: maybe dismayed that Angela doesn't quite reciprocate, or that Angela seems to be pulling away from the bits a bit. Even though this fake (""fake"") flirting shouldn't even matter, because its not real, haha, its so ridiculous. But if it were- at least when both of them were doing it, it was almost like having it, it was almost as good as the actual thing of- well- and now- and now-
If we really want to put RPF goggles on and use more recent thoughts we can really just. Linger on how Amanda always lunges towards coworkers for fake kiss bits and Angela doesn't stay put during those. Courtney would probably commit to the bit, I think Arasha would figure out a clever way to basically commit but pull some sleight of hand. But Angela pulls back instinctively because- no- no- what- she can't, not for a joke, not with her. And Amanda does it, just for the joke, just for the joke, improv is all about figuring out your partners instincts and calibrating for that, but then why does Angela pulling back make her feel like- that. Why does she keep trying. Why does it matter to her.

I think it is both funny and slightly alarming that there are those who possess an intense dislike for anyone who ship Asha with Star (one person even derisively called this ship “Starsha” but jokes on them i like it xD);
1) “BASIC WHITE TWINK IS MORE POPULAR WITH THIS SHIPPERS THAN THE BLACK HEROINE” I think they conveniently forget that everyone knows what Asha looks like and is more or less fine with her appearance; The Star’s human appearance, on the other hand, has not left the figurative drawing board beyond the art book, therefore it is fun to delve into character design and see how he looks more fleshed out. Also, what do they mean “basic white twink?” I’ve seen plenty of Human/noid!Star concepts with various skin tones/ethnic features/builds. Then again, I explore more social media platforms than just Tumblr.
2) “THESE SHIPPERS KEEP WHITE/LIGHT-WASHING THE HEROINE” They are exploring the concept designs that were shown in the art book. Also, Afro-Latinos/Hispanics have a range of skin and eye colors. Another also: NOT ALL OF THE SHIPPERS CHANGE ASHA’S OFFICIAL APPEARANCE.
3) “WHO’S GOING TO TELL THESE SHIPPERS THAT THE HUMAN STAR IS/WAS GOING TO LOOK LIKE HER GRANDPA?” We already know. We also know that was one of the POTENTIAL options that wounded up being scrapped. Therefore, Starsha headcanons don’t have to be tied to one single idea that could have happened.
4) “WHY ARE YOU SHIPPING ASHA WITH A HUMAN BOY VERSION OF THE LITTLE STAR WHEN _insert canon film character_ IS RIGHT THERE/ASHA DOESN’T NEED A ROMANCE?” First and most important of all, because we can and we want to. Second of all, not all of Starsha shippers headcanon the Star to be male. Third of all, no one has any issues with shipping Asha with any of her canon friends (or even a self-insert) or headcanoning her to be happy single; the only ones I see having any problems with any shipping are the ones who don’t like we are shipping the original concept of the Star and Asha.
Sorry for my rant. I just find it weird that those who don’t ship Star x Asha or who aren’t a fan of the Humanoid Star seem just so offended by the fact that this portion of the fandom exists and is having fun with their headcanons so far. It’s not like our headcanons have any effect on the official WISH Film.
P.S., I love your art and concepts! Not just for WISH, but those are some of my favorites!
Hey all absolutely excellent points! Yeah my rule is just, let people have fun with stuff? Cuz like--yeah guys none of this actually affects anything IRL of any actual importance so, chill out and go do what you want instead of getting upset other people don't want to do the same? Spending your time trying to police everyone else's fun just leaves less time for you to have any.
And thanks!! I've been enjoying working out how I want Wish to fit into the DisneyVerse and working some of the concept stuff in with the Canon the movie gave to do so! Hope you'll stick around for more!

Artists don't have temporary passions that fizzle out quickly, but a lifelong obsession to explore every facet of one topic or perspective and release art based on it quickly.
If you're an Artist, you're creating for a future generation, not the current one. Our current generation is filled with rigid, yet highly emotional adults, with only a handful of sweet souls who understand what they're looking at.
Most people are envious because they don't stand for a message. They don't do anything that brings them enough joy to openly share either.
The wild thing is when they finally gain some courage, and put out something that's true to their thoughts instead of pandering to their friend groups, they will want support for it and they will receive the judgement they've doled out for other people's bravery.
What is something about you that you like? Most people can't answer this. They typically respond with how good of a slave they are.
"What makes you happy?" isn't a question most people can answer earnestly as well. If you can answer that, you're ahead of most people in this existence.
Shame is the emotion the ordinary person experiences 90% of the time even though they have followed the "formula of life" that has been pushed down their throats since birth.
This isn't an assumption. I've had a few people who weren't jealous types tell me they wish they had the drive to just sit down and paint or write something in a short period of time without giving up or constantly postponing it. Since they can't, they opted for what's commonly accepted.
I restrained myself from my motivation spiel and asked "why not?" and one person's excuse was "I have to work, cook, and clean because my boyfriend won't do it."
"Damn, that sucks."
End of conversation.
Slothfulness is why people opt for "sex as art" or "divine baby birthing" and deem anything else offensive.
If you're a real artist, as in you depict Reality, you know that there's no solidarity, anyways. This is why a true artist will always choose their purpose over a person and sacrifice over fear.
Your purpose exists so that you evolve. Your purpose will never betray you, but a person will. Your purpose will never fail you, but a person will. Your purpose will never lay you off, but a job will.
There's excellence and then there's mediocrity. The mediocre give their ordinary opinions like mediocre people do, believing that they said something interesting.
They don't and never will understand what real art is. It's supposed to be considered crazy, thought-provoking and polarizing. If it wasn't, nobody would give a shit about it.
The best art was from people who didn't even know they created masterpieces, but they are just honest in depicting reality.
The most shocking art is and always will be telling the truth. There's an unsaid rule that you have to play pretend which is why almost everybody goes anonymous when they have something to reveal.
Most people are fake.
Whatever somebody says is "too much" triple down. You have to be okay with people assigning the polar opposite of what you to you are because they're upset that you exposed them.
The more hate you get, take it as fuel and go further in that direction. That's a sign of fresh land.
The ordinary person is going to be wrong about you like they're wrong about everything else in life. This is nothing new. Don't worry about it.
Also, I strongly recommend that if you're somebody who easily draws attention IRL, has stalkers, harassers for "nothing" to take that as doing something bigger in your life.
In cases like that, people see something that you're not aware of about yourself. This a sign you're being pushed out of a small and unknown life.

you blush easily ♡
a/n. HO HO HO GUESS WHOS BACK! ME :D ! where’s my blushing gang at!! i hate it so much, i go all red just from speaking up in public… i’m afraid my cheeks would explode if something like that happened to me irl ...
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
┆彡 HEESEUNG [ 희승 ]
oh man he loves it so much and doesn’t even hide it
and will try to fluster you every change he gets!!
and enjoys it too…
sometimes will trap you in his lap and hold your hands so you can’t hide your face in them
will laugh at it too, cooing something like "my little tomato" (not funny, hee🙄)
"you look so pretty, you know?" heeseung hummed, leaning towards you. you could clearly see the mischievous spark in his eyes.
"shut up" you grunted, feeling the blood rushing to your cheeks so you tried to squirm away from his grip. but hee, sadly and obviously, was stronger and stopped you from doing so. his smile grew wider as your cheeks reddened.
"make me" your boyfriend smirked, loving every second of your misery. he saw your cheeks reddening even more before you said:
"oh i will" and you sent him a sly smile before closing the gap between you two. at least that way he wasn’t focused on your bright-coloured cheeks right now.
BUT! but. if he hears one of his members saying something like "ooh look at y/n’s red cheeks, she looks like a tomato" …
… dangerous hyung mode activated.
only he can call you like that smh!!!
┆彡 JAKE [ 제이크 ]
when jake was rambling some cute stuff (and didn’t even realise), causing you to blush… at first he thought you’re mad at him
but then you explained that it’s nothing, you just blush easily
and he goes from 😦 to 😄
for the next month teases you just to see that rosy blush on your cheeks, even in public
he grins like a fool in love (well, he is one) every time he sees you like that :P
but then when he overhears someone saying you’re cute like that he decided that only he has the privilege to see you like that 🙄🤚
so he cherishes your red face in private now, placing kisses all over your cheeks
you just tightened your lips, crossing your arms. jake was looking at you, all giggly and with a huge grin plastered on his face.
"yeah? you happy now?" you hummed, trying your best to look pissed off. jake nodded.
"yeah!" your boyfriend waltzed over to you and in a matter of seconds cupped your face, pecking your cheeks… which caused your cheeks to redden even more. he watched that curiously and you just let out a sigh.
"sim jaeyun i hope you’re enjoying yourself because i am leaving now" you mumbled and pretended to walk away just to be trapped in his arms.
"i’m sorry, i can’t help it. you just look so cute like that" jake grinned, his chin resting on your shoulder.
┆彡 JAY [ 제이 ]
he looks like he doesn’t care…
… at first.
because he’s got his lil famous smirk formed on his lips when he realises he’s the reason your cheeks are glowing red
and you can’t help but poke him to stop smiling (he won’t, he finds it adorable)
but. if you’re red and blushy because you’re nervous eg whilst speaking up…
… he’s having his hands around you right away, letting you know that he’s here and he can take over any time (which he does if you tug his sleeve)
FFS I WANT A JAY IM CRYING SLIDING DOWN MY WALL
"and uh… one… medium… yep, one medium–" you mumbled, looking at the menu. no, you didn’t decide yet what to take and the employee’s stare was not helping you at all. you chuckled nervously, cheeks heating up "uhm…"
you felt jay’s hand wrapping around your waist, his thumb drawing circles in a comforting motion. you grabbed the sleeve of his free hand, tugging it softly before hiding your hand in his.
"one medium lemon iced tea. to go. thank you" jay said calmly and the employee nodded, showing you the price of your order.
after paying you moved aside to make room for other people and jay just placed a tender kiss on top of your head, letting you know that there’s no need to get nervous when he’s around.
┆彡 JUNGWON [ 정원 ]
he finds it sooo cute :((
will stop in his tracks whenever your face starts turning red
and will try and legit on fight you so you don’t hide it from him 🙄
in private, he loves to cover your face in kisses when it’s red already as if you’re not going to explode in any moment :)
but don’t get me started if 1) you’re getting red because you’re nervous/uncomfortable, 2) someone is making comments about it
one death stare from jungwon mostly shuts up the person tho
"love you, have a great day!" you grinned and placed a quick kiss on jungwon’s lips. he was taken aback by this action (since you two weren’t big on pda) but it didn’t stop his smile from growing. as your face lit up in bright red, sunghoon sitting on a nearby couch giggled.
"y/n, i think you’re sick. not only you look like that but also you just kissed jungwon–"
your boyfriend’s features dropped immediately and you had to admit, it was a bit scary. his eyes stared into sunghoon’s soul and you heard his older friend gulping.
“ah, i didn’t mean it that way. i meant– sick, like… that’s sick! way. good… way… okay, i’ll go now” sunghoon mumbled and even while he was leaving, jungwon’s stare was burning a hole in his back.
┆彡 NIKI [ 니키 ]
do i even need to say something??
teases you, a lot >:(
poking your cheeks, making comments, doing stuff that causes you to redden even more
but he knows when he crosses the line (which doesn’t happen often, fortunately)
but even if… one pout of yours, a fake smile or sad glint in your eye and he’s like… reprogramming himself and mumbles apologies or lets go
you know he means it, teasing is just kind of his love language
(but he really won’t stop cheering you up again if he made you sad!! won’t let go until he hears a laugh escaping your mouth)
“you look like you just ate a whole pot of spicy noodles” niki giggled as if he wasn’t the reason of your blush in first place. you moved your hand away from his, glancing at him. is it really that bad…?
you wanted to stand up and go cool up your face with cold water but riki grabbed your hand, pulling you down. there was a serious look in his face, realisation sinking in.
“but it’s cute, you know? i didn’t mean it in a harsh way, it’s just…” he stutters, trying to gather his thoughts. you just smiled, pecking his lips. it just warmed his heart how you knew that he’s not too good with words and– “look who’s blushing now though. what did you say? spicy noodles–?”
riki squirmed away from your grip and you started chasing him around to take a closer look at his rosy cheeks.
┆彡 SUNGHOON [ 성훈 ]
he's actually sweet about it (sometimes)
because, yes, of course, he will tease you just to see that blush creeping up on your cheeks and then will proceed to joke about it
but the second he sees you're getting all red because of unwanted attention or getting nervous, he's next to you
both of you wanted to go home and you were about to do so when you, unfortunately, parted ways. someone wanted to talk so sunghoon and you were greeted by some random girl that swore she saw you somewhere. and as sunghoon was done talking, he started searching for you.
and then his eyes caught your reddening face and lips forming into a nervous smile. your boyfriend rushed to you, unnoticingly grabbing your hand.
"sorry to interrupt you but we-- uh, we have to go. i left the stove on" he said with a small smile and dragged you away from the clearly puzzled girl. you let out a sigh of relief and once you were safe in the elevator, blood washing off from your cheeks.
"that was such an awkward convo, i said so much dumb stuff... i feel like an idiot" you mumbled, playing with your fingers.
"that's why i rescued you" sunghoon grinned and you decided to hide in the crook of his neck (even if it was just the two of you now)
mans will sacrafice himself to get you out of an awkward convo, literally
and as much as he gets you (getting nervous or shy after saying something dumb lmaoo), he finds it cute too
plus he would be lying if he said that it doesn't make his heart skip a beat if you blush because of him
┆彡 SUNOO [ 선우 ]
the moment you told him you blush easily when you get flustered or nervous, he knew he has to protect you at all costs :((
even if he uses it as a "biting back" card while bickering with each other, he's absolutely protective if someone strange points it out or is the reason of your embarrassment
and internally... someone save this boy because is it normal for a human heart to beat THAT fast ?? obv when he sees your face in blushy state
he loves to squish your cheeks when they are completely red and he’s so giggly about it help
overall he’s very precious i luv him sm
you sighed, placing your hands on your cheeks to hide the redness even a bit. heeseung just grinned at your reaction and the door suddenly opened, sunoo walking in. a crease formed between his brows when he noticed you(r flushed face).
"hyung, what did you say to her?" sunoo whined and sat next to you, causing you to redden even more. heeseung was taken aback by his younger reaction, especially when sunoo continued "i swear if you were making fun–"
"it was about you, dumbass" heeseung laughed and left the room, leaving you two. sunoo turned his eyes to you, curiosity in them. you let out a sigh while he gently took off your hands from your cheeks.
"it’s just… we were talking about you… and how cute you are… and that maybe, i dunno– iseeyouinmyfuture" you mumbled quickly, hoping you wouldn’t have to repeat it again.
"you see me in your future?" sunoo chocked out and as you hid your face in his neck, he swore his heart is going to rip itself out from his chest. he grinned to himself as he saw a glimpse of your red neck.

Do you think Simon would actually be willing to become the Prince Consort tho?! Like yes he LOVES Wille but I don't think he'd ever wanna officially set a foot in that system let alone give up his career for being a working royal
The quick answer is yes, I think he’d thrive. Go read my fic Becoming Prince Simon for details.
The long answer is that I think that just like we tend to make Wilhelm into this social justice prince who’d love being a house husband and hates being a royal, when in fact he is quite comfortable with ignoring staff while he walks past them in a ratty old t-shirt and sweatpants because there’s nothing more normal than living in a palace and having staff cater to him for him, and he actively enjoys ordering Jan-Olof to send him food to the middle of nowhere Hillerska, to name but two examples of how Wilhelm very much doesn’t mind being royal or privileged, and just hates being told what to do or say and having to act like someone he isn’t, Simon, too, isn’t this grand idealist.
Sure he’d like being treated fairly, who doesn't, especially when you always draw the short straw even while following the rules while your classmates get away with breaking them without problem, but the truth is he’s rather pragmatic.
He gets back in contact with his drug addict, alcoholic and to a currently unknown degree abusive father so that he can acquire alcohol for his underage classmates to drink so that Sara can attend a party, and then steals drugs to among other things pay for math tutoring because he wants good grades.
I’m not saying Simon would jump at the chance to join the royal family, but he’d come to see the advantages, and I’m not just talking about him being with Wilhelm, but also all the good he can do. He doesn't need to be a monarchist for that.
So yes, I don’t only think Simon would be willing to become Prince Consort, but that he’d thrive once he got accustomed to the idea.
After all modern day Sweden isn’t Czarist Russia or pre-revolutionary France, you can’t just burn that shit down (and get the Soviet Union or Emperor Napoleon), because that wouldn't work and attempting so would do more harm than good. 
You need reform and systematic change, and to change a system you need to interact with it, for example from the inside, and as spouse to the Crown Prince and later King, Simon would be in the ideal position to affect that.
He doesn’t need any actual power to highlight problems and topics important to him or for people to pay attention and listen. It doesn’t always have to be Diana shaking hands with a man with aids in the 80s, it can be something as trivial as the irl second in line opening a fairytale trail in her duchy as a toddler.
What the royal family does (and doesn’t! do) gets publicity and is reported. Simon knows that. He grew up seeing it all the time.
And the people most likely to take note of what the royal family does? Those I dare say are also some of the ones who could do with a bit more exposure to the causes Simon would highlight.
Also not to be mean but give up what career? We know Simon enjoys making music and he wants to get out of small town Bjärstad, but as far as we know he has no great, specific career ambitions he’d have to give up.
I’m gonna end this with a potentially triggering and extreme example, so take care.
When the royal court announced that the irl Swedish crown princess had an eating disorder I was in junior high. I'll always feel sorry for what she had to go through so publicly and it definitely is another point on the list of why monarchies and celebrity culture are the worst, but I also cannot overstate how much good that publicity did when it came to bringing awareness to the topic of eating disorders.
Suddenly that was something that was seriously discussed as an illness by people in power and who otherwise never would have, and not just in a ‘haha those silly teenage girls wanting to look like Kate Moss’ kind of way, because it was the crown princess and not some random pop starlet, and if that can happen to someone like her, then who is to say it can’t also affect our own children etc?
We were taught about it in school, in detail, when my older cousins never were, how to recognize them, how to help, where to go for help. More, there suddenly were places to help, places that were actively advertised which hadn’t been before.
There were clinical programs being opened and awareness campaigns launched, and not just in Sweden. (I’m not saying she was the only reason, it was the late nineties, it was really, really necessary, but she was a big deciding factor when it came to the amount and speed at which things changed)
It sucks that royals and celebrities highlighting important issues can make such a difference, and I’m the first to go yell abolish all systems of inequality irl, but Simon could do a lot of good as a working royal, and he’d actually care about changing things, instead of just finding it a boring necessity like irl royals and the YR royal family including Wilhelm do, which is why I think that in a few years, given time, he would very much be willing to become part of the system if only to bring what change he can, especially when no one else can take his place and do it instead of him.

Here's the thing... I don't feel particularly good about Fearne taking the shard.
Like, Ashley seems happy and excited about Fearne's new form and powers, and I am glad about that.
I really just can't shake the feeling that Fearne was ultimately pressured into taking the shard. They should have taken more time to discuss it and actually listened to Fearne's reasons for not wanting it. Chetney was the only one who asked her about it, and he still tried to persuade her to change her mind.
Laudna and Imogen didn't ask at all, only talked about how disappointed they were that she was hesitant to take the shard's power. I know they're leaning into the whole 'embracing their darkness and power' thing, but they of all people should be most sympathetic about Fearne being afraid of how doing that could change her for the worse.
I think at least part of this is the disconnect between IRL time and in-game time. Above-table, it's been over a month since Ashton’s failed attempt to take the shard. In-game, it's been no more than 2 days. It's only been a few hours since Fearne found out the truth about who her real father is. Most of that time has been spent on the team-building scavenger hunt. There hasn't actually been time to properly process all that.
There's also the issue of Fearne's bodily autonomy to consider. For any character, taking the shard would mean accepting permanent changes to both their physical body and their powers. Ashton didn't even get to keep the Shard of Rau'shan, and look what it did to him! He lost an arm; grew a new, completely different one; and very nearly died permanently. Putting that much pressure on Fearne to accept that level of risk and self-alteration when she'd already said no is not good friend behaviour.
I would be fine with Fearne taking the shard if (instead of everyone just continuously insisting she should take it) they had respected her initial decision and let her gain the confidence to change her mind on her own.
I also would also have liked to see Fearne learning to stand up for herself and her decisions as part of her 'embracing your power' character arc. Drawing boundaries with your friends and actually enforcing them is really hard, but it’s also necessary for building healthy relationships.
Trusting Fearne's judgement on what's best for her and respecting her decisions would have been better for rebuilding the broken relationships between Bell's Hells. As it is, I don't know how much is actually going to change between them after this retreat.
Not to mention how some of them - mainly Imogen and Laudna - have kind of been trying to force something to happen between Fearne and Ashton. Like, I make no secret of being an Ashrym shipper, but I wouldn’t be comfortable with it even if I did ship Callowmoore. Like I already said, it's been 2 days max since Ashton exploded. That experience really rattled their relationship and it'll take more time and work to rebuild. If Callowmoore is going to happen, let it happen naturally.
I'm glad Allura took the time to remind them that, while the moon mission is urgent, it is still just a recon mission. Once they gather and hand off the information, they'll have more time again to step back and take a breather, and potentially decide not to involve themselves any further if they don’t want to.
(Obviously they're not gonna ditch and leave the Ruby Vanguard to VM and the M9 to deal with - they're all too invested in the outcome to back out, and it's the central plot of C3. But knowing they have the option, and that they'll have some time to make that final decision is, I think, important for their character arcs going forward.)
I dunno. Maybe it's a hot take, but it just kinda leaves me with a bad taste in my mouth.

In light of the recent ask: Toji is soft for you. No, he wouldn't leave you with the kid. Yes, he would marry you.
So my question is: what was his proposal like?
omg omg i love this question. i never want a marriage irl but if it's toji then i am ready hehe
look i like grand gestures. sure they are so lovely and lustrous. but as someone who understands emotion on another level, i think anything done or made by own hand and efforts, even the simplest, is true love. but toji always thought i liked a grand party. i did tbh whenever we went at our enemy's big event as spies or assassins, i was always struck by the decor and the money. toji didn't miss the sparkle and awe in my eyes.
it was sunday. it is also my relaxing day but toji had just sent a message saying we have work. i was working whole week. planning strategies was a hard job but i had nothing else to do plus i thought i'd buy myself those boots i have my eyes on with the money. he told me to dress nicely telling me it was another rich people's gala we need to attend.
two hours later when i reached the location he has sent me in, i was thinking if i was lost. he told me it was an open ground but i was in front of a planetarium. i was talking in call with him and he told me to go inside. i did. when i walked in, there was no receptionist or manager at the counter so i thought something serious had happened here. i balled up my long ass gown and ran down the theatre.
pitch black
well. atleast in the start. two seconds later there was a cosmos on all four side. the dome was a universe. well...led screen but it looked so beautiful, i was pulled by the euphoric feeling. there was a supernova in a corner and a nebula. i loved them so much. i love astronomy.
"you see that darling?" a raspy voice whispered from behind. "that's what you're made of. a star"
i turned around in confusion and opened my mouth to ask the million questions i had but he didn't let me.
"did you know all my life i thought stars were fake. the way people portray them in drawings, the way we see it twinkle. it's not a star. it's merely a ball of god knows what refracting on earth that we mistake it for shining."
"toji— what are you trying to say?"
"that i thought stars are fake...until i found one. found you. you actually fucking shine. you brighten up this mess of my life. your eyes they...they twinkle whenever you get excited."
"what did you drink?? i still don't know where's this conversation go—wha—" i saw him goin on one knee.
"i know i am not the greatest person or even the best you could do. but you're the first person to make my heart beat so fast, it feels like it might explode. you're the only person who has managed to make me do my own laundry. you're my entire fucking universe, forget world. my existence only matters if i am by your side. i don't ever wanna wake up without you next to me ever again. so pasi...will you wake up next to me as my wife for the rest of our lives??"
at this point i have snot running down my nose because what the heck WHERE DID HE LEARN THISE ROMANTIC WORDS??
"only if you promise to let me sleep on the left side," i chuckle while i am crying. "i love you so much. make me yours, toji" he slid the ring hehe and happy ending
(next day the bill arrived and the planetarium thing cost a lot😭😭 but he managed it)
