Mourynn in her Orchid outfit during the early years! (albeit a bit modified bc I didn't want to draw feet or the swirly things, thus made up shoes for her instead. Which still works as she gets heels later uwu). I'm also aware I never do the Sylvari glow right, but I don't want to overwhelm the ref with so much glow so I only did the extremities, but technically I think it would reach all the way along the leaves and such. Just pretend it's doing that. I also decided to permanently give her the Orchid wingies as part of her body since they thematically match her wrist/ankle appendages (as I have all of that for the sake of her Leafy Seadragon inspirations) + will appear on her Mordy Scion form as well (aka any leaves with the dark blue = part of body/appendages/hair, any other colour/hue = outfit). I actually had wanted them originally on her custom outfit, but changed it back then and now I have put it back again, hehe (so aesthetically they look different than the actual armour version too to match everything else). Lineart and transparent under the cut

I just use need the transparent one for her Toyhouse profile thing

Jet and Wave!!

Jet is as pretty charismatic guy and a lot of people around the school like him. People think he's so cool!! But he's also an idiot. He and Sonic have an odd dynamic where they're not exactly rivals but not really friends either. Jet thinks Sonic is cool and thinks they're friends. Jet gets under Sonic's skin a LOT, and Sonic is like "Ugh, he's so cool >:/"

Wave is ambiverted, and she'd usually rather have the company of her own thoughts and work over most people, but she can be social. She's the head of the robotics club, so Tails and her interact. Tails is the only middle schooler in the club, so Wave is more interested in how capable Tails is for his age (and she's surprised knowing he's actually younger than she thought! 11 instead of 13)

(There's a strong chance I might actually retcon all of this for story reasons, but if I do, they'll be pretty important to the end of the story, but only for an arc)

this is how it feels to be writing without an outline btw

designing outfits for my characters has led me to the conclusion that bisexuality (or just being mel) is the key to being the most fashionable

bonus outfit swap also:

e/c is sloppy making out and i'm watching them from the cuck chair of my mind

No yes EXACTLY, I also have the brain disease that makes me want for Sam to win and makes me become a Sam Win Truther even when things are looking characteristically bleak for him. Which I am frankly embarrassed to admit to the few other Jet Lag enjoyers I know, for some reason. Like I get the Ben and Adam love, they're so wonderful, but it's just..... Sam <3 Honestly, for all I try to rationalise why, I think I simply imprinted on him at that moment where he's standing with two grocery bags in the rain in Callais in episode 2 of Tag (have you watched That one yet? Sorry for very vague spoilers if you haven't!!!). I can't explain why, but I remember it very clearly. Alsooo I just think he's just got a specific vibe that autistic people find charming in a way others might not (source: me, I am charmed).

imagine that i know how to gif and can present you with a gif of the 🙆 “that’s my celebration” sam did that captured all of our hearts here:

and i think everybody gets to have their own favorite <3 no justification needed. sometimes you just like a silly little guy!! sometimes you love them all*!! which is all valid. you can also love to see all of them suffer!!! personally this is a win-win/lose-lose for me in every situation no matter who actually wins and i love it.

i hate dreams that end with surprise plothole-fixing montages that make it clear that in that story my effort was futile

bunny x cat dynamic?

Like, adhd bunny and grumpy cat dynamic? I'm going to try writing a bit where the dynamic of the main characters are fleshed out. Any input on what people often enjoy about these for me to take into account?

To me it's so cute because she considers herself more as an annoying dog but for him, he considers her to be a cute, hyperactive bunny (that's kind of useless to (literal) death but let's put that aside, or not)

The ideal response to this would come from your readers. If you've already established your reader base, try asking them their preferences and expectations. Of course—still, write the story you want (and need) as a writer. And there it is, in your second paragraph. The idea is that if you write what you want, the people who also prefer this dynamic will find your work and stay for the rest of the story, and will more likely enjoy your other work as well (this is essentially what most successful authors advise new writers—write what you want, what you enjoy etc etc). But striking a balance between your readers' and your own preferences would be great too.

If you don't have a reader base yet, I'd suggest going through your favourite literature/films and finding ones that depict this particular character dynamic. Then you yourself, as a reader/viewer now, could answer what you find enjoyable about these pieces of media, and incorporate that in your writing.

Also, here are some tropes that I think have similarities with the dynamic you described. Same suggestion with finding books or films/TV shows you like that feature these tropes. But also research their readers'/audience's feedback to find out what they enjoyed about these character tropes, and this is what you can take into consideration for your story.

Grump and sunshine. One character is so grumpy all the time; the other character is so bubbly all the time. And somehow, through that power-of-love thing, they end up balancing each other out. The grump sometimes has sworn off love.

Savvy Guy, Energetic Girl. This is a potential pairing (platonic or otherwise) between a pragmatic guy and a girl who is very full of energy. One partner in the pair will be lively and optimistic while the other is savvy and more slothful, quiet, or otherwise less expressive. EXAMPLES:

In Corpse Bride, Emily and Victor. The former is a dead bride who is rather lively and spiritual for a corpse, while the latter is a live man who is shy and awkward almost to a fault.

This defines Anna and Kristoff's relationship in Frozen nicely. She is a spunky princess willing to do whatever it takes to bring her sister home, he is a grumpy, rough-around-the-edges ice harvester helping her along the way.

In Pixar's Up, the quiet and timid Carl befriended and eventually married the energetic Ellie.

Uptight Loves Wild. He's stuffy. She's untamed. It's true love. Mr. Stuffy is in a rut: Life is boring because he plays by the rules. Along comes this wild and crazy woman to show him how to live life to its fullest, and she just might learn a few things along the way, too. EXAMPLES:

Enchanted: Stuffy, cynical divorce lawyer Robert meets fairytale princess Giselle.

The Sound of Music: Maria isn't "wild", but she is a Blithe Spirit in the face of the extremely uptight, Captain von Trapp.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind: Quite thoroughly deconstructs this. A relationship like this doesn't always work and after the falling-in-love part, it causes more pain than joy; so much so that both parties opt to have their memories removed of each other. The Manic Pixie Dream Girl is also far more complicated: "I'm not a concept, I'm just a fucked-up girl looking for a peace of mind".

Opposites Attract. EXAMPLES:

The Princess and the Frog has Tiana and Naveen. She's a Workaholic, no-nonsense waitress and he's a fun-loving, lazy prince.

Tangled gives us the jaded, worldly-wise thief Flynn Rider and the spirited, innocent princess Rapunzel.

Treasure Planet has Captain Amelia and Dr. Doppler. She's a tough-as-nails Action Girl, he's a bookish scientist, not to mention they're basically an anthropomorphic cat and dog, respectively. The two grow closer throughout the movie, and by the end they even have several kids.

the problem is that every time i sit down to think about hxh field ecology au part 3 i only come up with more nuance and detail instead of ways to condense it or make it, like, comprehensible

[senseiwu]

Sometimes I randomly get songs from Starkid musicals stuck in my head and I just. Need to hear them and sing along to them.

The past few days, it's been Those Voices from A Very Potter Sequel

More LoS, kicking back to the timeline of the 1st game.

Petru’s stomach twisted into tighter and tighter knots the more the man spoke. Carrying a body to the graveyard - was it just an unfortunate traveler Gabriel had met on the road? And the glaring - most people thought Gabriel was glaring when he really wasn’t, but he would have been if he’d been sent out the day after his son was born. Yet - no, he wouldn’t have, because Gabriel wouldn’t have gone. It wouldn’t matter that the Elders commanded it of him, he would refuse. Christ himself would have to descend from Heaven to convince Gabriel to leave his wife and newborn son - and even He would find it a difficult prospect. Which could only mean… “Ruglia? You’ve gone pale—“ Gabriel always greeted Marie first when he returned home. He wasn’t supposed to, but he always, always did.
