thank you for offering this!

could you write a fic of them getting ready for the brits together? i just rewatched the red carpet outfits vid, and they're down bad 🌈😊

"My bowtie has gone all wonky," Phil says.

He looks down at himself with a frown, twisting each end this way and that. It's a lovely piece of fabric Dan found for him, all silky and stiff in just the right ways. Dan's also got a matching one on, and when he told Phil only just twenty minutes ago with a slight smile on his face, Phil couldn't help but match with his own goofy little grin.

If only the damn thing would sit right on his neck. He huffs, pulling until it's too tight on his neck, and he has to strain to get it back to how it was. From his peripheral view, Dan peers up at him from his spot on the bed where he's been scrolling on his phone without his trousers on. He's been tasked with making sure their car arrives on time to pick them up and whisk them away to the red carpet, but Phil knows he's been scrolling around on Twitter instead and anxiously hoping the rental place the BBC sent is on its way. Phil has been tasked with making sure he at least looks somewhat presentable tonight, and if he can't get this stupid bowtie to look right, it'll be an epic fail.

Dan huffs, "Maybe if you stopped fiddling with it, it wouldn't look all wonky."

Phil ignores him and continues adjusting it until Dan gets up with a sigh, walking over and slapping Phil's hands away. He resists the urge to put his hands on Dan's waist, a compulsion that comes so naturally to him he hopes he remembers what to do with his hands while they're out in public with everyone watching. Instead, he reaches up and fixes the splinges in Dan's hair and wonders idly why he isn't wearing his earrings. It would go wonderfully with his outfit tonight, some fancy thing he got gifted from some brand he can't remember the name of. A lacy button-down that Phil would have never thought he'd go for even a year ago. He looks good tonight, the suit jacket is a bit too small but fits on his shoulders just right, and his identical bowtie sits in the middle of his neck, not at all wonky looking.

Phil wishes they were taking their clothes off instead and putting the bed behind them to good use. He tells Dan this and receives a snort and eye roll in response.

"You suave sexy motherfucker," he says, moving off his bowtie to massage at Phil's shoulders. "If we're not too drunk when we get I am going to suck-" He gets cut off by his phone ringing. A string of curse words leaves his lips as he answers it, and his 'I am talking to a stranger, this is so awkward please' help voice fills the room.

Phil leaves Dan to it and walks up to the mirror. His bowtie isn't all weird looking anymore. The bows are a little big, but he understands what Dan was going for when fixing it. He makes sure his fringe looks alright and turns just in time to see Dan struggling with putting his trousers on.

He's hopping from one foot to the other as he fumbles out, "The bleeding car is down stairs, and I'm just standing here dick out trying to help you with your bloody tie!"

Phil stops himself from laughing, rushing around to where he's shoes are and squawking when the car out front honks. The nervous jitters he usually gets before these things start to make there way into his stomach, but as he watches Dan stumble around trying to put his shoes on and make sure he hasn't popped any buttons from his flailing about, all the worry and anxiety leaves his body and is replaced with something more settled.

Tonight, they have to be YouTube sensations and BBC employees, Dan and Phil. They have to entertain celebrities and try not to fall on their faces in front of all the cameras and very important people they're not allowed to talk to. Right now, though, they just get to be Dan and Phil. They laugh as they windmill about the room, trying not to trip over each other in a game of who can get out of the door the fastest.

Dan wins, rushing down the stairs and out of the house with his laces untied and shirt untucked. Phil follows quickly behind him, his bowtie all askew.

this is such a good idea!!! thank u sm!!!

i hope people are finding it helpful!

using this as a chance to remind people that if you want to help, you can always send me IDs or transcripts that you wrote and I track the "#dnp described" tag for original posts as well :) other than that the only ways I can really get content are what comes across my dash naturally + other people's "#described"/etc tags + checking the blogs of people who tend to be good at writing image descriptions (sometimes i literally search for keywords like "image id" or "transcribed" with varying results from the tumblr search algo lmao), so like I'm not just saying this, it really is helpful when things get sent my way!

HOW'D YOU KNOW

Thoughts on the Tales of TMNT Trailer that dropped?

IT DOESN'T REALLY SEEM LIKE IT'S GONNA BE ABOUT WHAT I THOUGHT IT WAS GONNA BE ABOUT ??? I mean I don't really know what I was expecting but it wasn't most of what's in the trailer for sure

[neapenning]

Hey! I see that you're a Spy Family Fan and i wanted to ask what you think would happen,

If Yor asked the age old question "Would you still love me if I was a worm" to Loid. How would he react?

This is probably a question better suited for a fic writer, but here's my take.

I feel like Yor isn't the type to ask this kind of question in earnest. She only seems to seek verbal validation when it comes to hiding her job, and not when interacting with her family. The words that stay with her are those that are relatively unprompted, so I doubt she would ask him such a question so directly.

However, I do think that (with a little bit of confidence) she would be a good tease, so she would use this power to fuck with her husband.

Completely unable to suppress his overly realist nature while also pacifying his lovely wife who he is absolutely whipped for, he would say something like, "no. Because if you were a worm your whole life, we wouldn't have met. And if you were to turn into a worm in the future, then still no. I wouldn't let that happen to you."

And Yor, thoroughly entertained by this, would go, "oh, so you would stop loving if I turned into a worm?"

And he would say, "I would love you regardless, but you would not be a worm. I wouldn't let anyone turn you into a worm."

And then they would have a discussion about the possible ways Yor might be turned into a worm, and Loid would insist he could thwart any worm-turning plot with the confidence of a modern man convinced that he could safely land a plane in an emergency.

That is assuming you meant this as a post- relationship conversation. As a pre-relationship conversation, Yor would say it in a drunken stupor and Loid's brain would shut off at the mention of "love", rendering him totally speechless, to which Yor would start crying and Loid would start panicking because his wife is sobbing in a very public bar because of him. Loid would scramble to assure her that he would so that she would be pacified enough to return home with him and Yor would forget anything happened by morning. Loid would spend the next week trying to silently decipher the motivations behind her question, completely ignoring the implication that his wife might like him back.

what is you favourite colour? What is your favourite colour to work with in a painting? What is a colour that you can never seem to get right in a painting? What's your favourite place that you've been to?

ooooh these are interesting!

My favorite color is the shade of pink that's on Vice and all my branding lol. Runners up include baby pink, black, neon green, and electric blue

Digitally I like using really saturated red. There's a particular range of red hues and values that I call Horny Red. When I break out the watercolors, my favorite is probably Hooker's green or Payne's grey

I dunno about a single color, but I struggle with green-red complimentary color schemes. It's so hard to keep it from looking like Christmas while also making sure the red is saturated enough to look like red

My favorite place I've been to....the Mayan ruins at Tulúm. Most incredible post card views, beautiful beach, iguanas everywhere, and seeing hundreds or thousands of years old human handprints on a stone wall is one of the most profound experiences i've ever had

[hjeojeo]

what are your favourite colours to use in a painting? What are colours you'd love to use more of, but can never get to look right? What are your least favourite colours to use?

Ooo

My favorite colors are the blue ranges and the yellow to orange ranges

I'd love to practice more with greens

I think whenever i do green it's always very specific greens, i stray away from certain greens like the...uhh the cooler green that's not quite teal like blue green, it's just a strong green like medical scrubsgreen?. I did a few years ago make a ttrpg character with that color so that i could force myself to get used to it. Kinda worked cause now i love staring at that color range cause it makes me think of my character, but i havent...actively practiced much now that i think of it..

But at least first step of just making myself not avoid it worked!

And a color i never can get right..hmmmm.. i feel like cause i mostly do commission work where i color pick from client's refs than adjust as i go...bc of this circumstance i haven't explored much with color in a while and if i do explore more i feel like i would know what color i cant get right, but it's just not on my mind..

Perhaps cool browns..hmm..thinking..

My least favorite color to use...hmmmm it would've been cool green but since i made my ttrpg character it's one of my favorites now...im thinking...

Perhaps the yellow that has hint of green. I need to work on enjoying that color more

Like i like yellowish green but when it's like obviously yellow but there's hint of green my immediate response is oh no contamination!!

What's your least favorite thing to draw

Kinda ironic but I actually struggle with drawing characters, which is funny since that's all I ever post! I'm much better at architecture but don't really have anything in mind that I could draw. Generally, when I draw people it either looks great or looks godawful lol

[contronym-colours]

Hfjone doodles

Felt like drawing Airy but didn't want to draw him exactly, so I just made some sort of fusions with the main three. Kept their general shape language and unique traits.

Then decided that I must draw the rest of the goofers

Delish more airy art

Dunno why but I like using this brush to draw him. Also I liked that art of him so I just added blur to it, I like it so you guys have fun
