Captain Marvel is disconcerting

I was looking at wonderjanga's post (Marvel and YJ) and I realized how disconcerting it is to see Captain Marvel going from a powerhouse to a person unqualified to be an adult.

Captain Marvel has always been someone very wise given the wisdom of Solomon, however it is not uncommon to see that the man. doing something very good, but it's disconcerting. And the league...doesn't understand how someone who not only acts like a child can change so quickly.

Even though the stories he creates while alone are as simple as a child's, they can be so different from the stationery he hands over to Batman. In his paperwork there is nothing but extremely perfect text. No spelling mistakes that indicate that the papers that Marvel writes for himself, have indications that they are made by the same person.

(not that this applies to me, spelling mistakes are just the basics)

Then comes the drawings, which are so different from each other. Marvel felt comfortable drawing at the end of a meeting, and the drawing was deplorable, done in a way that reminds someone who has never drawn so much in his life, even though he apparently lived as long as Diana. So Marvel, after returning from a mission, takes a painting and paint, which not even the league knew were in the tower. And draws a never-before-seen work of art, in a way that is quite innovative, just because Dinha jokingly asked that she should earn a reward from the big red cheese, for helping him make a wardrobe with normal clothes from this century.

(The painting must be worth a lot of money, and Dinah is perplexed that she got a piece of art, just because she picked out some clothes for Marvel)

(This idea also came from wonderjanga’s post (Marvel Wearing C.C.’s Clothes)

I can imagine how disconcerting it must be for Batman to try to understand Marvel, he always acts like a child most of the time, but when he asks Marvel to give an insight into the plan, Marvel describes an extremely efficient military tactic that Batman himself hadn't thought of.

Marvel was chosen to be YJ's den mother, just because Red Tornado and Black Canary were on a mission. It was supposed to be something simple, right? Give the teenagers a break. We sent Marvel so he could distract the team and they could rest. So it was extremely disconcerting for the league to see Marvel trying to get all the teens on their toes in an experimental combat class. Marvel usually acts like a child around the league, so why does he act like he should here? being a serious person in passing the oral lesson and giving useful tips to YJ

Which brings us to the next question: why when Marvel fights, he fights in such an incredibly sloppy way. Superman has seen Marvel hold back from biting his opponents. In practically all the fights so far it has been like this, Marvel doesn't seem to be taking this seriously, so one day Hawkgirl gives Marvel an ultimatum, either he learns to fight properly or he won't go on missions for a while. So Marvel, seeing that he has no option to deny or flee, he fights. Using the same fighting art as Diana, it was quite efficient, let's say, it's a bit scary to see Marvel fight seriously.

This idea also came from a post by imnotditzy ( Billy and Marvel have very different fighting styles.)

It's disconcerting to everyone that Marvel acts like a child, but in reality he is extremely efficient in everything he does.

Batman is having trouble dealing with Marvel's contingency plan, especially after he discovers that the supposed demigod is nothing more than a 13-year-old child. It is extremely disconcerting that such power was given to a homeless and orphaned child. At least now the league understands why Marvel acts the way it does. And all attempts to send him to YJ are vehemently denied. expelling Marvel is also not an option since, as the saying goes: he will not stop doing his job as a "champion of magic" and hero.

So even though it's disconcerting, the league now has a 13-year-old capable of going head-to-head with the most powerful beings in the world and beyond. And OH, his last name is Batson.

I'm sorry if you've said in a previous post about the Stargazers Au, but is it going to be entirely in comic form or is some of it going to be fanfic?

Also your art is delightfully soft and the character interactions so far are very fun.

I haven't gotten this question before! =0 But to answer, while not every part of my AU's lore would be presented in comic form, I plan for ALL of it to have some type of art at least! Even if it's not a comic. (In fact, the next part coming up would be exactly that!)

While I have written fanfics before, I tend to get stuck in my own head when I write and I get too deep and philosophical. Which is the exact opposite mood that comes out from my drawings. Usually lighthearted and made for simple fun! So I prefer to stick to my favorite medium and draw as much of this story as I can! ^v^ And thank you! The soft giddy fluff is everything I wanna convey in my art so I'm glad it pulls through! =D Please look forward for more! -Bubbly💙 Like... ⤵️

BONUS Charlie & Alastor interaction I never added to the 1st part because it wasn't all that interesting or important story wise. Just a glimpse of their fun dynamic and a hint of Alastor's new palate. Which will be addressed later, but as for the odd green doodles, don't worry. They're not Voodoo. In my AU, Alastor creates radio station symbols instead! =D If it's not obvious, Charlie didn't see him do all his creepy magic from behind her either! 😅

[mystycalypso]

do u ever pray u lived in an au where the show wasnt cancelled.... i wish theyd made season 3 according to their original plans then just went on hiatus until that company merger or w/e was done n they had money for s4 </3

Okay so, I was going to draw some- very fruity Laserblast art ngl, but this ask hit me enough I sat down, and opened my laptop to write a real response. I've also got the series on in the background. I started episode 1 when I began typing, and we'll see how far I am in the series before I finish typing it.

First of all, I love using au to refer to real life, honestly better than various timelines. And secondly

Absolutely. Every day of my life. Every time I draw one of the characters, or see fanart, or hear the VAs or- anything. Because- I'm insanely hyperfixated on this show. A disgusting amount, unhealthily. It's not normal lol.

And I do constantly think about what could have been, I mean, after all once again my favorite character is Laserblast of all things. Not Venomous, Laserblast. The version of that man that has like five minutes of screen time and no canon first name. So much so that when on the Saberspark Q&A when he came up in a question for quote "Me and the three other Laserblast fans" I cheered out loud, alone, in my apartment. I would have killed to not have to pull at removing his mask myself and Ian's one tweet calling him a himbo to show people characterization.

And honestly the wiki makes it all worse, in a loving way. What do you mean we were going to get multiple sitcom comfy style episodes where K.O. spends the weekend with his dad? I could've had more proof that Venomous isn't an abusive dad, just an unskilled and undisciplined one? I COULD'VE HAD AN EASIER TIME SEPERATING HIM AND SHADOWY TO OTHERS?!

And sure, I constantly wish that somehow someway I'll wake up and Ian will have announced the movie, the Hue Troop spin off, post finale storylines, the works.

But, on the other hand, here's why I'm grateful for what we did end up getting (this will probably be the longer section, sorrey)

tldwr (Too long don't wanna read): Cartoon Network is dead and pathetic and I don't wish that suffering upon this wonderful show.

So, something you guys can also notice from Ian's posts and the wiki, and just from what the cartoon industry is like in general, that getting what you want out of your series, storyline and representation wise and all that is actually pulling teeth.

For an example of later episodes, things like a seemingly Radmond episode getting changed to rad and mikayla. Or Voxman having to be pretty heavily censored (although I'm proud of the subtext they managed so heavily) which is partially because, and this isn't to take away from wlw rep and how hard it is to get on air, but is more difficult to get outright mlm representation simply because- it's harder to censor.

After all, it's much easier to pull a "they're just close friends!" Thing for two fem presenting characters, than it is for two masc ones. It sucks and they shouldn't have to be censored across different countries at all, but it's just- how it is.

Which is why, realistically, as cool as the movie centering around a voxman wedding would be incredible, I don't think it would've made it past S&P. Not to mention, even if it somehow did, It'd either suffer the fate of being a TV movie, getting limited as hell views, OR best worst case scenario, a box office release which would get hate bombed by people for it's- everything. Because people suck. I mean, even not counting homophobic people there's a disturbingly high chunk of this fandom that hates Voxman- because... *checks wiki* Oh yeah, "Evil people not being perfect good guys = bad representation"

Also, cartoon network was- already starting to die by now, with less funding each year in the first place. Meaning we don't know if it getting that funding was even an option as time went on. And the idea of getting a longer season three, with the reveal being drawn out another season like they wanted, and then potentially never getting closure on- any of it? That's horrible even to think about.

Sure, the entirety of season 3 was rushed as hell. And I cry about all the missing stuff we'll probably never get, because well there's not even a cartoon network building to make this stuff in anymore, I'm glad that we have a finished storyline and understanding of where arcs would've gone to fill in things ourselves. I mean, getting to look into and imagine all the things we didn't get to see is much more fun than theorizing on an unfinished story.

So, yeah, I do wish that somehow, someway, we will get more someday. I'm at least glad we got a finished storyline and an ending that, while rushed, is still one of my favorites. I love let's fight to the end so much, I love how much I hate shadowy figure, and I love that I can be here making content for you guys!

Well look at that, it only took me seven episodes to write this whole thing, and I get to end this rant knowing Raymond was on screen. That's cool.

Finally found the time to draw my re-vamp of Pluto... I had this planned for a while but I didn't do anything until now!!! so here he is! The guy!!!

Since I probably won't talk about Pluto that often, I'm deciding to just drop his re-vamp here and his lore that I made for him in this post!!

Personality wise: Pluto is a human who was formed into a "Hell-hound", unlike "Canon Pluto", Pluto here has more of the personality of a human instead of a dog in a mans body. He resembles a dog yes, but he talks, walks, behaves like a person, and prefers to be treated as one, otherwise it makes him feel de-humanised if he's being shoo'd away like some house-pet (which is what Sebastian often does, they don't like eachother that much). Pluto seems to have a close bond with Finny and Snake, considering them truly family first before he starts viewing the others as such as well (Not Sebastian). He does not recall his human life, he doesn't even remember his own name. The reason why he's referred to as "Pluto" is because it's what Angela called him when she was in charge of him, and the name stuck within the phantomfam, but he did eventually gain the nickname "Plu-Plu" by Finny, which Pluto seems to not mind, but he prefers if it's only used by either Finny or Snake (or his snakes). Besides his obvious close bond with Finny and Snake, he's slowly starting to show more trust with the others, Like Ciel, Mey-Rin and Tanaka. He doesn't like Baldroy that much but he doesn't hate him (they'll eventually bond when Baldroy starts to cook better food). Though he seems to hate Sebastian and refuses to be near him or listen to him (unless Ciel tells him to), poor fella is uncomfortable around him.

BACKSTORY/LORE (Warning for Human experiment, demon sacrifice, implied animal abuse, physical abuse and torture) Please read with caution if any of this things might discomfort or trigger you

I'm going to keep things short and simple I won't go into deep detail or such, it's just a summary of what "Pluto" went through from beginning to end and how he got to where he is now, also sorry if the writing is shit this is my first time writing anything like this so my bad.

On a bright sunny day, a 17 year old boy, Maxwell, and his pet dog were both kidnapped and taken away while alone working on their family farm while his parents were away for the week. Max and his dog were taken away by a group of men and taken to a mad doctor who wanted to create the first ever "half-beast half-man" and sell it off to a freakshow for alot of money, pretending to have "found" the beast instead of "creating" it. Unfortunately, the boy and his dog were not the first. While being dragged away to their new long-time home, Max noticed cages upon cages of "people" with animal parts attached to them (from the looks of it, it seemed like a few of them were already lifeless and decaying). With now knowing what's going to become of him, Max and his dog were thrown in an empty cage together, a cage which will be known as his long-time home and thus 2 long years of torture began. The torture of him and his dog becoming one.

After many forced injections, body parts being taken apart and stitched together, Max slowly grew weaker and weaker as more as he went through, not only did his body grow weaker, but so did his mind. Who was he? Who were his parents? Where did he come from? Why was he wearing a dog collar? Answers who he did not know for, at least not anymore. The doctor, who was getting more and more irritated realizing the only thing keeping his creation alive right now was his weak breathing, has grown sick and tired of all these failed experiments. The doctor had one last option to make his half-beast man become fully alive and functional, one last chance of becoming the rich man he wished to be.

Max being yanked by his collar and forced to walk on his hind legs (which was already painful enough to stand) was dragged down to a lower, darker part of the building(?) he was in, his vision was blurry and his ears were muffled but upon entering a room, he could see the figure of who believed to be the doctor standing above something and surrounded- what Max believed to be a weird circle.

After being thrown into the circle, he struggled to stand up and fell down to the ground, rubbing his eyes trying to handle this brain-spliting headache while the doctor rambles off non-sense, for a second he felt like he heard something being impaled but wasn't sure. Barely a second past and suddenly the whole room felt like it was spinning, weird black goop and furniture started circling around him and the doctor as if there was a hurricane accruing right this moment.

Max finally looked up and saw a strange tall lanky figure leaning over the doctor (at least what he thought was a figure), his vision was still blurry but he knew he felt unsafe the moment that thing appeared in the room. Not even trying to comprehend what the two of them were talking or even trying to figure out what that thing was or where it came from, he tried his best to regain his strength and attempt to crawl away to safety- Which didn't last long as he felt a sharp pain within his chest suddenly, as if a hand went through him and started crushing his soul. Whatever that thing was, he knew the doctor told it to do it (since he heard loud cheer coming from that freak)- He felt like he was being killed and reincarnated at the same time.

Moments later, Max found himself running out of the building he was once kept in for what felt like an eternity. Blood was dripping down from his mouth but he no longer felt pain every stepped he took, his vision and earing have improved as well, as if all that pain he went through never happened.

He did not know what that thing was, (he did not recall what he did or what happened after the experience with the figure and the doctor, but he knew he did something- did he hurt someone?) but it seemed to have helped him more than it helped the doctor, whatever it was, he did NOT want to encounter it again nor something similar to it. Despite feeling physically better, his mental state still remained fragile, he still couldn't remember anything nor how he even got here. Who was he again?

Months after finally fleeing his personal hell, walking for days and hours as far away as he could. He eventually found himself in a forest, and finally decided this was a good place to rest for a bit, he was far away from his abusers, but also isolated enough to where no one could find him and take him away again. At least, that's what he thought.

A minute has past with his eyes closed, only to quickly open them up again after feeling something hover over him, a strange woman in white was standing over him. “Oh dear, what are you” she muttered.

He didn’t know if she meant it with disgust, but she seemed surprised nonetheless. They both stared at each other for a short period of time, before the lady look away for a moment and then looked back, as if an idea clicked in her head.

“You’re a strange looking demon hound” A demon hound? Is that who he is? What's a demon hound? “But you seem to be lost and scared, come now, as an Angel, it’s my duty to help those in need, even if one is a demon”

He had no idea who this woman was, but the moment she spilled out that she was an angel he immediately jumped back onto his feet, an angel? Did she come to help him? Did she come to fix him? If only she would’ve come sooner but he would rather not complain “What’s your name?” she asked but all he could do is stare, what was his name again? Did he even have one? After receiving moments of silence, he felt a tug on his collar “Pluto” The angel said

“Nice to meet you Pluto, we’re going to be friends for a while now” Pluto? That felt familiar, but he didn’t know why.. But it was his name now, and it’s what he will be referred to from now on according to the angel. With his tail wagging and his spirit high now, Pluto finally found someone he can trust, I mean, it’s an angel after all, and angels are always there to help, so of course he's going to trust her, she did say she is going to help him.

Without hesitation, Pluto began following the angel after she gestured to him, leading him to a village. Believing that this village might be his journey to fixing himself, though unfortunately, he does not realise that the angel tricked him into becoming the monster of this villager, leading to long months of now being treated like monster that deserves to be hunted down by the towns people, and only bringing hatred towards the villages own dogs because of him being a "hound dog". That is, until help finally arrives.

______________________________________________

Okay yeah I yapped a little too much my bad I got carried away, but basically long story short, Ciel and Sebastian get there, they found out it’s not some evil spirit and it’s pluto instead (Sebastian beats the fuck out of him) and later on Angela hands Pluto over to them to “train him better” or whatever. Which Ciel agrees to and next thing you know Pluto ends up becoming a trio with Finny and Snake because he feels the closest to them and believes they’re the only ones who relate to him the most with the experience he went though and yeah. This took longer than I expected and it's now 3am lmaooo, as a bonus for reading my edgy story have a doodle:

[itzgruvia]

I have seen many tarnish Gray for what he did in the Avatar Arc, in which he abandoned Juvia without a word.

Well, here I am, butting in to put my perspective. While I do understand how it is annoying for Gray to do that, he could have put a word into it, a sign maybe, but he just grabbed his luggage and left. Some also blame Erza because she was the one who told Gray to do so. And the root of the fans being mad is because of how Juvia ended up in the end, she was worried sick, literally and the rain came back, it was sorrowful :(. But also because there was an alternative way to avoid Juvia being heart broken, and Gray/Erza feeling guilty, it's the fact that Juvia could have joined the cover with Gray and benefited them more. However it didn't, Mashima...had other plans.

And sadly Mashima did not bother with drawing or writing scenes between Gray's apology to Juvia or even Erza's, so we are set with the behind scenes. I have high hopes that Gray AND Erza apologized to Juvia, and that Juvia didn't take it to heart, because she only cared about Gray's safety, and understood the mission behind it, protecting her was their first priority. Maybe Gray argued with Erza at first because the thought of leaving Juvia behind with no word didn't go well with Gray, I am pretty sure he'd even suggest to take her with him ( he knows how strong Juvia is) but Erza knows the stakes of getting Juvia involved, maybe Juvia might have become the target? Maybe if Gray left her with a letter, she'll follow him. The point is, Erza had her own thoughts and worries, she didn't want to risk her friend's wellbeing. And Gray had to go with it, because the idea of Juvia physically getting hurt will haunt him forever.

But again, it wasn't very wise either. Juvia fell sick anyways.

Gray's attitude towards her by the end was guilty, he feels like a jerk for leaving her like that, and so did Erza in that phone call with Natsu. She does feel guilty about it.

Anyways, Judging Erza and Gray's personalities, I am pretty sure they took the time to apologise to Juvia, and she deserved it. I don't hate Erza nor Gray about it, but I don't find it reasonable either :/, there were better approaches to deal with it. Besides this, their worry was also understandable, because going under cover for a guild that works for Zeref's arrival is very dangerous and Gray had to be very careful, the blonde hair guy was already suspicious of him, so I wonder what would have happened if Juvia did join in.

-thank u <3

CAN I GET A WA-HOO??

I'm bacK, yes, you can all see that.

I finally finished this silly little drawing of mine and god I love it, and yes I'm going to make more drawings of them 'cause I have no self-control, also

HELLO, LGBTQ+ COMMUNITY

⚠️Spoilers ahead for both series⚠️

So... about those takes that I have about this two (and a few others that I plan on drawing, don't worry, we'll get there), well, you can see that Phoenix is Crowley while Miles is Aziraphale...

It makes sense, I swear-

At first I was thinking of them but reverse (Phoenix as Aziraphale and Miles as Crowley) because, ngl they could fit either role anyway.

But character-wise? I think this is the best, mostly because of interactions the four of them had on their respective series.

To give an example, this dialogue in Ace Attorney:

It feels strangely similar to Aziraphale's "hereditary enemies" dialogue in the first season.

I might need to write some things down or else I will forget, fuck- (I'm writing this without any plan, help)

But hear me out, I'm not crazy-

Just take a look at Aziraphale's and Miles' fashion sense, that old-timey style they both have (and it's even more obvious with Miles' debut suit), that stubborn personality and undying faith about their side (Prosecutor's Office and heaven), etc.

While Phoenix's and Crowley's personality are more care-free, going their own way, their own side, bluffing away their problems and always chasing or following their "best friend" anywhere.

Phoenix getting a law degree just so he can reach Miles and save him, Crowley always being there for Aziraphale when needed and saving him...

Do you see where I'm getting at?

Also, you remember that scene with the bookshop being on fire and Crowley thinking that Aziraphale was dead?

..."Prosecutor Miles Edgeworth chooses death."

Yeah... the only difference is that Aziraphale didn't dissapear for a whole year and much less left a cryptid ass note behind and it wasn't really his fault-

But the feeling is quite similar, isn't it?

Now, after all the sad or complex feelings aside, let's see more happy things that I noticed:

Crowley's fondness of children / Phoenix's habit of adopting kids anywhere he goes.

Aziraphale liking yellow because it reminds him of Crowley's eyes / Miles finding a particular shade of blue relaxing once in a while.

Crowley's tendency of following Aziraphale like a dog following its owner / Phoenix's constant chasing after Miles (and also having a dog-like personality.)

Aziraphale not admitting that Crowley is his friend (or that he likes his company) / Miles also not admitting Phoenix is his friend (or that he likes his company.)

Yeah... the pattern is getting more obvious the more you look at it...

But I guess this is enough for one post, if you read it all the way, thank you for indulging my delusional brain!

Any comments, requests or... anything, really, will be much appreciated :DD

(If there are some errors, mispellings or anything of the sort, feel free to correct me because even though I've been learning english since I was like five years old, still isn't my first language so yeah👍)

Alright i think that's it !!!

I should be more active now !!!!

If i tagged you while you didn't want to tell me ill take it away :(

But that's it ive been nervous about this but now its posted so eh

[oneknightstand-if]

So, uhhh, first ever message on tumblr, here's to hoping this is actually the place to post that stuff?

It's great, As a Game Master (mostly for rpgs on discord) I'm a big fan of the freedom of expression when it comes to characters. I just finished a run I'm pretty happy with, so I figured I should do as asked and share the results below.

(A word of warning, since I can only draw anime-style, this is now an anime.)

As a bonus, here's some design I doodled up for the character, to help myself visualize her.

Additional Data:

Adrian: Crush Merlin: To Befriend Pet: Cat (Roland)(Like the Paladin of Charlemagne) Wears: Frilly blouse and long skirt (She started wearing those to get reactions out of Adrian while avoiding more extreme outfits) Camelot Sequence: Lucid dreamer, talked to Merlin in the past (monty python reference to prove she's from the future), got directed to Arthur, asked Past!Arthur about lucid dreaming, Caught Current!Arthur about Lucid Dreaming (He now knows who she is), then spilled all the beans to Merlin after waking up (He knows who she is). Items: Magic 8-Ball, Cat memento, pouch of pearls, miniature garden (Audrey III!) Gas Station: Followed Merlin, Destroy Cameras, Clean traces, Get matches.

And now, for the wall of texts that nobody asked for but that you're all getting anyway!

Character Design

The design I went with was 'the super sussy character who actually is kinda hiding the least'.

Physically, she's basically hopeless, with her teeny tiny 10% on physical, which puts her firmly into the 'dead weight' category. Considering what's going on in here, it's a bit sus.

Even more sus is the amnesia background, because here's that girl popping out of seemingly nowhere with no memories right around the time the failed Lesser Circle happened, who just so happens to be a potential harbinger? Sus.

Appearance wise, her best features are her eyes (my dice determined they should be violet), but they are downturned (Tareme) ones, that usually express either gentleness, or belong to suspicious people, with a gentle, caring and overall traditionally feminine/motherly behavior (wears frilly outfits, cooks gourmet food, tends to her (mutant) plants). In other words, she's very much an 'ara ara'-type character. (The cuckoo is mostly limited to the confines of her mind).

However, she is an imposter whose special move consists of spilling all the tea (ironic, her favourite drink is Jasmine…), all the time. Had a weird dream (Part 1)? Write a report and drop it on Adrian's lap, almost shoving the marked arm under his nose. Freak encounter in a horse trailer? Write a report and drop it on the club leader's lap. Meet a strange but weirdly helpful stranger? Drop the Weird dream Dossier (part 1) on his lap. Questions about the self medication? Ha! She's got her entire (albeit short) life written in a folder ready for perusal! Had a weird dream (Part 2)? You better bet she's writing it down and dropping it on Merlin and Adrian's laps.

…

This is probably a side-effect of being overworked all the time and getting in the habit of making biology reports for everything, isn't it?

IC Thoughts on characters:

Merlin: Super strong incubus who may or may not be the actual Antichrist, may or may not want to cause the Apocalypse themselves to put humanity out of their misery if the Arthur plan doesn't pan out, and yet may very well be the most trustworthy person in this entire group, if only because waking Arthur up seems to be their number 1 priority. After all, all they needed to do was stand aside and do nothing if they wanted the Lesser Circle to fail, right?

Adrian: 'Friend' for several years, eventually got a crush on him a few months ago, but his ambiguous way of almost-but-not-quite friendzoning her is beginning to wear her down. Slightly suspicious due to his being much too prepared for the crisis at hand for a random bystander, but he had all the opportunities in the world to get rid of/corrupt her in all the years they knew each other, and she herself has this 'tiny' Impostor secret going on so she's trusting him so far.

IC thoughts about the adventure: 4 (Reluctant/panicking, but not forced)

What is there to be said. The end of the world, man-eating monsters, plagues, the end of the world, homicides, abductions, did she forget to mention the end of the world? For a woman with little inclination toward physical fighting and who would rather read a book in a corner, this is very much outside of her field of competence.

With that said, she almost got eaten by the monster under her bed and Merlin healed her when she was at Death's Doors, so she's giving them the benefit of doubt, for now.

Character affinities:

Probably Percival (cuckoo connection), Arthur (dream shenanigans) or Broderick (this entire thing is crazy!) would work best?

Here's to hoping this didn't get too long, I tend to get too verbose when I become enthusiastic about something.

It's impossible to be too verbose, especially compared to me. Also, my imagination runs in 4K surround-sound anime-style, so it was anime all along! Olwen fits in perfectly!

Tickletober Day 31 /// Aftercare

Yeah fun fact uh- I actually had this lined up for you guys but I kinda got distracted by other things and forgot I had this stagnating in my files for over a month. After that I considered just publishing it as a never ever, but we're here now so I won't be tagging it as such. But I will say there was much more planned for this. I'm happy how it turned out, hell, maybe I'll complete it 🤷‍♀️

Either way, sorry for kinda dying on y'all content wise. Things have been pretty rough irl and mentally, I'm not doing too well. This has prevented me from completing projects I have in my drafts (I have an ENTITY fic wip, that Aldryx teaser I showed y'all, requests to tend to, and such).

But at the same time, I'm trying to end the year with good vibes, I don't want to be so overly negative anymore as this blog is a place where I want to be happy and draw and write cute tickle shit (⁠ ⁠ꈍ⁠ᴗ⁠ꈍ⁠). Anyways just remember someone loves you, onto our scheduled programming

Summary: Brotherly fluff (⁠人⁠*⁠´⁠∀⁠｀⁠)⁠｡⁠*ﾟ⁠+🩷🩷🩷

It's a little short but I hope you enjoyed it :))

This made me feel better just posting it (⁠◡⁠ ⁠ω⁠ ⁠◡⁠)

Some earlier parts of the manga, sometimes Sukuna just looks like Itadori with tattoos on when his hair is down.

Example!

Here, look at him! His hair down makes him look like Itadori!! Even that with that smile! Put his hair up (in the anime, his hair is pushed back before he encounters Megumi)? That is definitely Sukuna with a cheeky smile like "I'm definitely going to cause some chaos and you can't stop me".

Now before anyone thinks otherwise, I actually like it either way. With his hair down, he gives Itadori (well, duh, he's possessing his body but I meant like vibes). It's, like, even though they're two different people, they still share similarities.

They're two sides of the same coin!

It's like how in the more recent episode with Itadori.

With his hair up with a death glare to match, it's no longer Itadori. He's giving off those Sukuna vibes.

Whether the hair thing is on purpose or on accident (I mean like, let's say Gege forgot to draw Sukuna with his hair pushed back) I just think it's a nice touch regardless because it's just a slight change between them appearance wise, but it makes a big difference.

Again, two different people! But, they can still embody each other.

I know I'm probably not making sense, I'm just rambling, I didn't plan any of this, but think of how a writer writes a really good scene with some symbolism they didn’t plan before but it plays well into the story.

Just thought of something! I promise you this post didn't mean to get this long. I just got thoughts!

It's funny to me that in this scene (mentioned above), Itadori frightens Mahito to the point he feels like a helpless rabbit (don't get into your feelings about that rabbit, Kiya). Not long before this, Mahito encounters Sukuna and was even smug in his presence. (Because he wasn't going to be there long anyways.)

(Just realized that it kinda looks like Sukuna got his arm in his kimono like one who do with a hoodie... Itadori wears hoodies...)

This is just reverse of Mahito's earlier encounters with Sukuna and Itadori.

He was scared in Sukuna's presence before and yet when it came to Itadori, he tormented him and declared he'll kill him.

Now? The script had been flipped on him.

It's moments like this that just gets me thinking about the connection between Itadori and Sukuna, is all.

As the end of Whitney & Davies draws ever-so-slowly nearer (31,500 words and counting in the skeleton draft!), I’ve started tentatively mulling over my future plans. Writing-wise, I have one story I’m actively working on (Maine-based cozy fantasy) and one that I will begin after the Maine fantasy is complete (inspired by Tristan & Isolde and the deepest and most ambitious story I’ve ever dreamed of; I’m so excited to dive into it when the time is right), so there’s not much to mull over there. Publishing-wise …

I’ll be honest: I’m tired of the self-publishing gig. I’ve seen it done really well, but I don’t have the marketing savvy to make it work for me, and I’m tired of being on my own when it comes to my books. I want a team behind and with me. However, traditional publishing has even more stringent gate-keeping currently than it used to, and it seems like you need just as much marketing savvy to get accepted into traditional publishing as you do to make it in self-publishing. Yes, I’m speaking of the dreaded “platform.”

I just deactivated all my social media account except this one. My author newsletter has about 25 subscribers. My readership for Whitney & Davies isn’t much bigger. In terms of platform, no agent or publisher is going to give me a second look—and as much as I’d like to think, “oh, my books will speak for themselves,” I’m not so naive as to actually believe that.

Which leads me to … Substack. Perhaps once a month posts along the lines of, “the intersection of faith, fantasy, and redemptive storytelling,” with brief essays akin to my “Tragedy of Susan” post that’s recently gained new traction here, or the difference between Faramir and Boromir (in the books) and the significance thereof, or the establishment of right kingship in Narnia, or other such musings, including some of the ways these themes have influenced my own writing. Not an author newsletter, which is more specifically focused on my books and writing updates, but not trying to fight the algorithms of social media either. Something to introduce people to the ideas and themes that are behind everything I write instead of trying to focus on the individual stories that I have or am currently writing.

So then, hypothetically speaking, if you, my friends, were to see a Substack like that, would it interest you enough to subscribe? And possibly even recommend to others that they subscribe? Not because, "hey, this is e-louise-bates from Tumblr," but for the actual content of it?

Because I am otherwise stumped at the idea of how to build a platform over the next 2-5 years for when I'm ready to start looking for an agent/publisher for my non-Whitney & Davies books.

Callsign: Sunshine // Chapter 47: Alabaster Dust

Rating: 18+ !!MDNI!! Chapters: 47/? WC: 127,899 Pairing(s): TF141 x F!Reader (You) (no use of y/n) Chapter Warnings: Explicit language, horror/gore Chapter Excerpt (🚨spoilers!!🚨):

A familiar verdant hue greets you when you wake. 

You blink once. Twice. Three times. The corners of Cal's emerald eyes crinkle slightly as he takes in your no doubt bleary expression. 

The house smells like coffee. The sun paints the sky a warm array of colors: butter and tangerine. You sit up, rubbing your face. Songbirds serenade one another on the feeder just outside. You smile to yourself, pleased that they've taken a liking to the new seed.

You fling the covers back, exposing your bare legs. Smooth. Unblemished. Pimpled only slightly from the autumnal chill in the air. 

You frown. 

Nothing hurts. Your body, your muscles, your bones -- they all feel fine. 

For some reason, this bothers you. 

You look down at Cal and try to tell him as much -- but nothing happens. Your lips move, but no sound comes out. You try again. And again.

Nothing. 

You must be saying something, though, because Cal grins and reaches a hand up to tuck a strand of hair behind your ear. 

He says something back to you. 

You don't hear it. 

"What?" you ask. 

You don't hear that either. You only hear the birds. 

He repeats himself and you try to read his lips. You think he's telling you he wants cream in his coffee. 

Your heart begins to pound. You feel it bouncing against your ribs. 

Thunk. Thunk. Thunk.

You try to tell Cal that you can't hear him. That you can't hear yourself. But his expression doesn't shift. He just stares up at you from the bed, the linen behind his head frightfully similar to the color of sand. 

"Cal."

Still silent. He doesn't so much as blink. His face is frozen. Unmoving. Perpetual contentedness.

You place a hand on his bare chest and immediately snatch it back. 

Cold. Stiff.

"Cal?"

It's then that you notice the size of his pupils. And the small, dark-colored stain on the pillow beneath him. As you peer closer, you draw in a sharp inhale. It's strange. Feeling something that you can't otherwise sense. 

You pull away, blinking rapidly to erase the sight of blood haloing your lover's head, only to find Davy's lifeless body in Cal's place when your vision clears. His baby blues are already blank. Unseeing. A hole appears in his chest. Two holes. Three. Deep crimson weeps from them, rapidly soaking the sheets you share. 

You scramble to get up, choking on sobs you can't hear. Your hands slip on Davy's blood and you slide gracelessly to the floor.

The walls grow smaller and smaller and smaller. The window splinters and then shatters. That, you hear. Glass rains down on you, slicing your skin, tinkling like a wind chime. 

The form on the bed shifts again. Sapphire eyes turn to amber. You think you scream. Your throat burns like you have. Still, you don't hear it. 

You clamber back on the bed and straddle Simon's unmoving body, cupping his face in both hands, shaking him, slapping him, sobbing uncontrollably. 

You scream his name. You can't hear it. He can't hear it. 

He's dead. 

You're hysterical. Your arms and legs are trembling beyond your control. Wounds that weren't there moments ago cover every surface of your skin. You're clammy and grimy, like you've been rolling in a muddy swamp. The house is gone. You're in a field that seems to go on forever, grass tickling your hips. The day has transitioned to night. 

It's beginning to snow. 

The flurries surprise you so much that you pause your hyperventilating to watch them fall.

You love snow. Swirls of glittering ivory tickle the skin of your cheeks. Hello, they seem to say.

A frigid hand grips your wrist. You startle and yank your hand away, stopping short when you realize it's now Soap beneath you.

He's alive. He's awake. You can't hear him, but it's easy to tell what he's saying. 

"Help. Help me."

"Soap -- what's wrong?" You can't hear the question as it passes your lips. You only hear the soft, quiet wisp of the wind. 

"Soap!"

Soap's grasp on your wrist loosens. His eyes appear to grow smaller in their sockets. His lips dry out as though he's found himself dangerously close to the sun. The skin on his face crinkles and warps, clinging to his skull. You gag and pull free of his hold. It isn't hard -- his hand breaks away from the rest of his body with ease, crumpling into dust. As though his bones were no more than sticks of chalk. You cry out in horror -- another silent scream -- as the breeze picks him up and carries him away, whirling and twirling his remains amongst the delicate cascade of falling snow. 

The grass brushes against your arms and legs, still bare and filthy, peppered in slashes of red. It tugs at you, beckoning you down to the earth. Catches you when you finally give into its pull, gently laying you flat on your back. Despair cloaks you like a second skin. Agony slips a hand over your mouth, stifling your cries. 

You form claws with your hands. One by one you push each finger into the squishy, damp earth.

You count them. 

One. 

Two. 

Ten. 

You do the same with your toes.

One. Two. Ten.

Comic Update

Current page count is 14 and everything's going smoothly, and part one of chapter 1 should be released before the end of the month at the most and in a week at least. We do have a few updates on how it's going to be posted, though. Part one was supposed to be one post with 30 pages, which is what we had planned for part 1; however, thanks to something weird with pc version of tumblr I can't add more of the pages via pc, see my issue here (yes, it's still doing that). I've been using my phone to upload the images on the draft post, but as some know here, the mobile version only allows 10 images :(((( So that means instead of one post for part one, its going to be around 3-maybe 4-posts for part one chapter one. So instead of three posts for the total of chapter 1, it may be upwards to 9 or above posts for chapter 1 alone. I seriously don't know the issue with my pc version, but I hope these many posts will be ok with y'all. This also means there will probably be posts released in bursts, as while I'm in the boss fight right now and thus going much faster than before (doing almost a page a day), when I'm doing full color it may take longer as I've been nonstop drawing this since around march (minus that break in late april to finish finals). The goal is to finish chapter 1 before Underevent applications in December, maybe even get to chapter 2. All of volume one is outlined, planned to be 3-5 chapters in length, and each following volume being longer afterwards. Nick's volume (volume 2) is overall conceptialized, and some familiar characters will take either center stage or comeos. Stella's volume is being conceptized with a clear goal in mind, and overall plot beats are thought up. The overall story was the first thought of, having a beginning, middle major plot points, and an ending which is fully thought out. Overall, ideas for Percy's, Rosemary's, Clover's, and Asriel's volumes have been thought of, but have not been as detailed as the other three as we do want to write as we go along. Point A and Point B of the story is thought of and will not change, but the landmarks we have to go through to get there has to be detailed as we go along so the story flows well. There's so far a total of 12 planned new areas (this includes areas within areas like snowdin village is to snowdin forest), and we are thinking up more when needed in the story. We have a lot of new main characters tied to the past of these fallen children, both alive and dusted. There is planned new background NPCS that we hope our current concept and possible new concept artists will help out with. We also have the idea that when chapter 1 is done, we'll also post them on places like Webtoon, Bluesky, and maybe Reddit, but we'll cross that bridge when we get there. Music is still being made, now having over 10 tracks total! Those songs may be posted as a way to keep our account alive, we also have pride month drawings being done as relaxers on the side (though they may be late as we want to work hard to release the comic). And here's the biggest thing....ahem....

We have a Discord now

Yep! We have an official discord where you can come in, ask questions with more immediate responses (as the answers to any questions provided on Tumblr, I'd like to draw it, which I never have time for). You can also audition for different positions if you'd like, which would also add you to the development team, able to see the comic as it progresses. If you don't know if you can provide anything product wise, then you can apply to be a beta reader; however, those who apply to that must be at least 16 or above. I just want more constructive feedback when it comes to beta readers unless I know you personally which than I may make exceptions; otherwise, no younger than that. If you don't want to be on the dev team at all, that's also ok! There are other channels to share your own products, promote your own projects, and just generally make friends. Please read the rules before proceeding, but otherwise have fun! The link is riiiiight here! https://discord.gg/XZAVctaE (this link will be updated if it expires)

The need we have right now is voice actors, as we do plan that when the first chapter is completed, we want to make an official dub for the people following the YouTube channel. We already have a Flowey, we just need the following characters: Frisk (gender neutral, feminine leaning) Chara (gender neutral, tomboy leaning) Toriel (Female, warm but slightly gruff) Napsablook (gender neutral, whispy and quiet) Miscellaneous Ruin Monsters (Froggit, whimson, vegatoid, etc) Southern Rock (southern voice gender neutral for the scolding rock)

But we do have other roles such as: Concept artists (for background characters or major side characters who do not have designs yet), Comic artists (to help with coloring, backgrounds, etc so things can be streamlined better), video editors (for things like trailers or animations), animators (promo stuff), artists (promo stuff and answering the ask souls questions), and story editors (to help TheEverManiac with the paneling script).

Hope to see y'all join and meet us there! (only if you want to though haha)

Cya later!

Youson Week Day 2: Quirk

@mxboxlocks I'm a bit stumped on how to write something for today's prompt. And I have no time to draw. So I'm just going to ramble about it casually instead. Hope that's alright to do!

Wayward enters the Constant with a special notebook and pencil, which can also be crafted by him. He uses his notebook typically to jot things down, and in game wise that can be used to unlock any tab for an item the player has previously made/found. But if we're talking fic wise, Wayward is constantly writing about new things he and Wilson discover, in case the info could come in handy in the future. He also believes he can use the mechanics they figure out in an autobiography he plans to write, once they escape the Constant (related to their time trapped there.) Wilson thinks it's strange that Wayward would want to write these things down for a future story. But he agrees that it's very useful to have a written guide for crafting things; even things that don't come naturally for either of them to remember/create. He also enjoys watching Wayward write. He gets such an intense focus when he does. Wilson thinks his expression of concentration is adorable. Especially because Way will sometimes stick his tongue out the side of his mouth. It used to gross Wilson out but even that he now finds charming.

Wayward actually likes the fact that Wilson can grow his impressive beard. He enjoys the feel of it, especially in the beginning phases when Wilson is more scruffy than hairy. When the pair eventually become romantic, Way enjoys scratching Wilson's chin. Wilson of course appreciates it because the beard can become quite itchy. Another reason Wayward likes the beard is because he can't really grow one of his own. He's got nice sideburns, but he's never been able to grow a beard. He's lucky if he gets any stubble. Wayward really enjoys the look of beards and would like to have one, especially when he gets older (he's only 28 when Maxwell pulls him into the Constant). He thinks they look dignified and sophisticated. And that matches perfectly with his gentleman scientist!

wip questionnaire ; tag game

i was tagged by @oh-no-another-idea a few days ago, thank you!! gonna be talking about The Daughter of Denmark here :)

1. What’s the first part of your WIP that you created?

Originally, it was simply a non-chronological collection of scenes to flesh out my acting in my high school's production of Hamlet. The first one was either about Laertes' and Hamlet getting together/breaking up, or about Gertrude and how she ended up married to King Hamlet in the first place. Versions of these scenes still exist (the Laertes break-up scene is only moderately edited!) and the set-up of Gertrude coming from Germany on behalf of a dead sister remains part of the backstory.

2. If your story was a TV show, what would the theme song/intro be?

We Put a Pearl in the Ground by St. Vincent. It's a very simple piano piece that I used to listen to while memorizing Hamlet's lines, so half of it is that mental association—the other half is that I can imagine a really beautiful and simplistic intro to it.

3. What are your favorite characters that you made? Why?

Of the original characters I've created, I think my favorite is Guinevere, Francisco's wife. She is French, was married off for trade reasons, but her and Francisco have an incredible loyalty to each other. She is a favorite of Gertrude's court (partially just by being southern and more familiar to the queen) and uses those privileges to help out Hamlet when and where she can.

4. What other pieces of media do you think your fanbase would share?

I haven't watched it yet, but I'd like to imagine there would be some overlap with My Lady Jane fans. Aesthetics-wise, The Girl King (2015) movie fans would probably be into it. Hopefully anyone who liked Ophelia by Lisa Klein (and the movie adaptation starring Daisy Ridley) would also enjoy my novel. Fans of the Conqueror's Saga series by Kiersten White might also enjoy another historical gender bend.

5. What has been your biggest struggle with your WIP?

The biggest struggle has been figuring out how to transpose the timeline of Hamlet's life into novel form. No one wants to pick up a book adapting Hamlet and then wait for half of the story until they get to the part they recognize, BUT the pre-play backstory is too important to only be revealed in contextual mentions. I went back and forth on a million different outlines until I settled with where I am now (swapping timelines abt every 10/15% of the novel).

6. Are there any animals in your story? Talk about them!

Alfa is Hamlet's horse, and she is a very noble and sweet steed. She was probably a gift from Hamlet's father. There's also a haunted otherworldly red deer running around. She's neat :)

7. How do your characters travel/get around?

There is not much traveling in The Daughter of Denmark, but when they do travel it is by horseback, carriage, or boat. Hamlet used to race on horseback with her father, and it remains a cathartic exercise for her.

8. What part of your WIP are you working on right now?

Currently I am in the bulk of the adaptation period. I have hit a bit of a mental roadblock when it comes to addressing the infamous "to be or not to be" speech. I am so petrified of screwing it up! I know that I can just skip ahead and return it to later, but... I have to address it eventually... so I'm stuck.

9. What aspects (tropes, maybe?) You think will draw your audience in?

Disaster bisexuals, queer-ing Shakespeare in general

10. What are your hopes for your WIP?

I plan to start my querying journey with The Daughter of Denmark! While I plan on self-publishing some works (and have a lot of respect for that aspect of the publishing world), an eventual goal for my writing in general is to have an agent and be traditionally published. I am hoping to complete a draft by the start of summer, and be querying by fall! We'll see how lofty of a hope that is.

tagging @byjillianmaria @raevenlywrites and @souverian-are-we if you want, and anyone else who is interested!
