Uh oh wrist injury owwie
Tumblr media
Well, I somehow managed to burst a bunch of capillaries on my right wrist from, I guess, gripping the phone too tightly while I was severely pissed off at something. It hurts like HELL. If I'm slow with doing stuff, blame this.
Semi-Hiatus(?) We'll see how bad it hurts when I draw later...

⚠️AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE
The past month has been riddled with false hopes and lies.
My heart has been severely played with, and I must make some statements clear.
I am female.
[[GENDER NON-CONFORMING ]]
Please, for the love of God, WOMEN, stop sending me love letters.
I do NOT have any interest in women romantically or sexually. Period. This includes transwomen. This is one of the reasons why I have not gotten back to many of my INBOX responses yet, and I don't want to keep responding to women who think they can get their hopes up.
I only like men.
I am only interested in receiving and responding to genuine love letters from MEN ONLY.
I am not "transphobic," as I have had feelings for transmen in the past, but my heart has no more room for another.
I have massive trust issues, and they have only gotten worse in the past month.
My brain is COOKED from all this deception I've dealt with. I am broken. I can barely function and only want people to respect my boundaries and preferences.

ICANTSTOPSMILING
Idea I had of Spamton in the late stages of puppetfication losing his absolute @#($, clutching to whatever's left of his shattered mind, and trying to make sense of it all while his SOUL dangles out of him, unrecognizable yet whole.

Cheeseburger Solution/CURSE???
I tested the app's settings and uploaded a cheeseburger pic I took as my icon to see if it worked on there, and somehow, this UNFLAGGED my blog as explicit. However, I cannot change my icon, and my Spamton church header is GLITCHED, and OMEGA zoomed into a miniton angel. FML. WELL BETTER THAN NOTHING.

Tumblr icon and header busted
I tried to change my icon and reposition my header, and now I'm stuck with the default header and icon. I don't know how to fix this. 😭

Stylized SD Self-Portrait [[For INBOX responses]]
I got a haircut recently, so I want it to reflect that in my inbox responses that I tend to draw myself in, and I also want to depict myself in clothes I actually own rather than a cute pink suit I wish I had!
However, that pink suit design is not going to waste! I will give it to my Addison character, Thetalan (Theta), to wear later in my AU but with a different tie. I also don't want people confusing her for me. She might be based on some aspects of myself (such as giving her my moles), but I consider her something independent and not a true 1:1 representation of me in a fictional setting.
I've had Revolutionary Girl Utena in mind, so I wanted to go for a "woman prince" look.

Since it’s almost summer here (less than a month of college left for this term), I wanted to draw Maldie in a cute swimsuit! 🍓💖
(swimsuit inspo found on Pinterest.)

Salutations! I rrly adore this AU!
Question, what happened to sneo wings and armor?
Snail kissies🐌💕
Tumblr media
Thank you for the ask kisiel-z-kosmosu, and thank you for the snail kisses!! >_<
As his code became more and more corrupted with time tangled down in the basement and lack of food, his NEO suit began to glitch heavily until the armor and wings completely disappeared off of his body, snapping a few wires loose along with it. Of course he still has the armor and wings hidden deep in his mess of code somewhere, but it’s not there by default anymore and rarely surfaces.
Here in this drawing he’s already missing the wings since they were the first to go, but the armor hasn’t quite glitched off yet.

"You do what I ask of you. Addisons don't ask questions; they merely do. Now do what you're told and get in that swimsuit. We're crunching time and need this photo shoot done by tomorrow. Hop to it!"
Several weeks ago, I dreamed about wearing a really uncomfortable green swimsuit and was forced to have photos taken of me in it. I thought the idea was so specific and strange that I had to include it in one of my stories. Well, I decided Theta gets to suffer!
This plays into some further lore-building I've been cooking that focuses on one of the antagonists, Nagela, and her complicated relationships with Spamton and Theta during the 1990s. I also decided to give him a new suit for fun. Who said he has to wear the same red suit all the time anyway?!
[[NOTE: This is a continuation of something I am working on for my AU, LoveLetter. Click on Nagela's name in the previous section to take you there. Everything is still WIP!]]
During a follow-up meeting, Nagela spoke to Spamton privately concerning his unusual nervous behavior at the fashion show. He insisted that he was merely on edge from the "excitement of it all" since it was the first fashion show he had ever attended. She subtly pressed him for why he looked at that girl the way he did when they passed by her. Spamton maintained his previous statement of "never meeting her before."
Nagela still had her suspicions. She didn't want to entertain the idea that Spamton would ever be interested in any woman besides herself, so she devised a plan to catch him off-guard. Several photo shoots were already scheduled for the sponsored clothing lines she was expanding the collection on, and this gave her the perfect opportunity to test him.
In every previous photo review, Spamton never showed any interest in the models, no matter how alluring or sensual. His face remained professional, impartial, and disinterested in the Addisons wearing the clothes he would choose to sponsor. If he liked one, he'd "poach" the design from her and have it labeled under G. SHARP, his own clothing brand.
Nagela chose Theta to wear one of the most revealing swimsuits of the DEEP BLUE swimsuit line, catered to an adult demographic with erotic tastes. She pitched the line to Spamton before, and though he was somewhat intrigued, he had not made any final decisions to sponsor it.
Theta was a modest woman. Though she was beautiful, as most Addison women are, she was not quite beautiful enough for most modeling gigs due to her short stature and the unusual "dead pixels" that made her face "defective." At first, her heart raced at the idea of modeling for the luxurious NAGELA SAX company and its namesake proprietor, but once Nagela revealed what she wanted her to wear, a wave of discomfort and fear consumed her.
"Surely, there is someone better for this one?" Theta uttered as she held it before her.
Nagela loomed over, finger jabbing into her chest. "You do what I ask of you. Addisons don't ask questions; they merely do. Now do what you're told and get in that swimsuit. We're crunching time and need this photo shoot done by tomorrow. Hop to it!"
Holding back tears, she retreated to the dressing room. The bathing suit revealed too much, and the fabric pulled in all the wrong places. Still, she went out as she was told and took part in the provocative photoshoot, having to constantly be reminded to smile and "look natural."
With all the necessary shots taken, Nagela told her, "Great. Hopefully, these will get him to sponsor DEEP BLUE." Theta didn't need to know the name to understand exactly who she was referring to.
Once she made it to the safety of her apartment, she stepped into the shower, turned the water up as hot as he could handle, and scrubbed herself with a loofa until her skin reddened from friction and heat. Her mind wandered as she stared at the streams of water trailing down her expressionless face, circling down the drain. She had wanted his eyes on her, but she never expected it to be like this! Complex emotions swirled within her, filling her with a sense of uncertainty and dread piled upon a small speck of something deeper... Warmer.
[[DURING THE NEXT MEETING WITH SPAMTON]]
Nagela mixed her photos in with the others for Spamton to see. She wanted to test his reaction. If the girl meant nothing to him, he would surely react the same way he did with the other models.
But he didn't.
Spamton's eyes widened, and the cigarette slacked in his mouth. The tips of his fingers twitched ever so slightly, causing the paper to tremble. The faint hint of pink colored his white face.
That was not the reaction Nagela wanted to see.
"What's the matter?" she asked. "Huh?" He laughed nervously. "Nothing's wrong!" "I know you, and something is definitely wrong." She smirked and smoked her cigarette, seemingly cool and composed as ever, but a burning jealousy festered inside her. "I wasn't expecting to see such a..." He waved his hand in a circular motion. "Provocative swimsuit?" He snapped his fingers. "That's it! Right, well, I wasn't expecting to see it mixed in with the rest of these. I'm admittedly taken off-guard." "I slipped it in as a surprise, just to see your reaction. It's part of the DEEP BLUE line you showed interest in. Does this help sway your decision?" She smirked. "Will you sponsor it now?" "Is that it?" Spamton laughed, his brows furrowed. He hummed and took a moment to think it over. "To be honest, no. It's too..." He fingered through the photos. "Racy for your tastes?" Nagela grinned. "Yes, and I, um, wasn't expecting you to pick her as a model. Didn't you say she doesn't have the right 'stuff' for that?" He chuckled and scratched his cheek. Nagela pushed her cigarette into an ash trash, her eyes boring into Spamton's face. "I figured. I know your tastes very well, Mr. Spamton. I picked her because her skin tone complements that color very well, perhaps even more than a Pink Addison's would. I could have modeled it myself, of course, for my skin is just as fair, but you know me—I could never wear something so erotic. It may be my product, but it's clearly not made for either me or you."
Spamton stared at the photos again, trying to keep his composure. Complicated feelings swelled inside him, many of which he fought not to indulge in. This girl disturbed him. Seeing her made his throat tight and sweat bead on his forehead, but another part of him was drawn to her gentle smile, deep, dark eyes, and soft... NO, not going there! He wanted to get away from this strange little woman. In all the places he'd been, there was no one like her, a White Addison, just like he used to be. They seemed to always inevitably cross paths, no matter where he went, even if she did not notice him. Seeing her made his stomach churn and his mind numb, but he couldn't afford to show this weakness to Nagela.
He didn't want anyone to know his mind was spiraling over his decision to accept the deal offered by that call...
The one he felt destined to take because he believed he was...
Alone.
