Mr. Leaf I must ask who do you think are the most huggable idols?

Okay, so technically i can probably make a very long list of idols that are huggable and give for each of them a paragraph or so why, but for the sake of time i will explain my top 5 huggable idols:

5. Kiss of Life's Natty

Listen i am well aware that Natty most of the time is very, VERY hot, heck one of my all time favourite smuts is "Red Wine" by @prael, but i feel like not enough people are talking about wholesome natty and how cute she can be, she has this adorable eye smile that just makes you wanna hug her so much, and her laugh is so infectious i love it

4. Kiss of Life's Haneul

I mean...what else needs to be said? She is adorable as fuck, she is the designated cutie patooie in Kiss of life, her whole demeanour is warm and cute. The amount of fluffs i imagined for Haneul are almost infinite, she needs to be written more in Fluff and im General

3. StayC's Seeun

As much as Sieun is my bias in StayC and in my top 3 ult biases, i think Seeun is the most huggable in the group, her cheeks are soft, she is very funny, cute. She's imo THE girlfriend material in stayC and it's genuinely hard not to fall in love with her and not imagine hugging her.

2. Kep1er's Chaehyun

I think what makes Chaehyun extremely huggable is the fact that there is a high chance that she will hug you before you think about hugging her, one of my first comfort fluff fics (A story of bunny and Owl) on Tumblr wasnt Chaehyun for no reason and i also written a fluff based on the idea of cuddling for comfort as a Club with Chaehyun (Welcome to the CATS club).

1. WooAh's Nana

Is she my Ult bias? Yeah, am i Biased toward her being top 1? Heck yeah, she probably has this look when she hugs someone that says to you "Hey, you're with me, everything's okay". can imagine her having a cute habit of putting her ear on where your heart is, listening to how your heart beats in days she is stressed or just need someone to calm her down.

may I have some of sans and dust interacting in the replace au 👀 like maybe how sans acts at first or like dust questioning him about y/n and sans just starts yapping about everything he loves about y/n idk

Thanks for the ask! Sorry I took awhile, I've been a bit under the weather :P

Sans is pretty apprehensive of Dust at first, (considering he knocked him tf out and locked him up in the basement with no way to teleport his way out💀) but when he checks Dust and sees just how much LV he has he becomes wary of his intentions, and even more concerned when he realizes that he plans to essentially steal his life.

He doesn't know what Dust did, but can infer by Dust’s general behavior that on some level it must have been out of desperation. But hes also a bit biased because he really wants to believe that... (He doesn’t want to accept the fact that he ended up like Dust in another life)

He initially gives Dust the benefit of the doubt, He willingly talks to him about his life on the surface at first, about his partner, about his friends and family, while still trying to persuade him that they can figure this out together.

But Dust is adamant that stealing his life is the only way. That he wouldn’t be accepted by other monsters if they knew what he had… gone through.

(Sans trusting Dust enough to tell him about his life on the surface unfortunately only cements Dust’s plan, Sans’ efforts to convince Dust he could have a happy life now only made Dust envious of the life he could have had. The life he distantly thinks he deserves atleast a little taste of, despite all the sins he’s committed.)

So despite sans’ efforts, he’s left to rot in the basement.

Obviously, being left to rot and having your life stolen would put a sour taste in anyone’s mouth, so sans eventually starts to hate Dust.

———

I ended up making a comic laying out their strained relationship since you made me think about the complexity of their dynamic a bit more.

The girls are fighting… 🫢

Dust relies on Sans and he hates it. He could kill him sure, but then what? That question of "what if" lingers in the back of his mind. What if you find him out? What if he slips up somewhere and can't cover up his mistake in time? He wasn't looking for permanence with you initially... was just jealous, wanted a taste of the life he could have had… but now he's gotten attached to you. He's afraid of losing this. Losing you. And they both know that fear will be his downfall.

Sans' side of this is a bit complicated however. He doesn't want to admit it to himself but he's upset you haven't noticed him missing. Dust tends to taunt him about that, as it's really the only leverage he has... but it slowly begins to eat at him over time. He doesn't blame you really, since Dust has proved to be a pretty good impersonator. But either way, the fact that you aren't noticing any difference between him and Dust will put a strain on him. And depending on what ending, a strain on your relationship entirely.

Sans also becomes increasingly desperate, having his own distant thoughts of overpowering or even killing Dust and escaping. But refrains from doing so, afraid of ending up just like Dust in the end.

[eyes-above--the-waves]

I know I said I was staying far away from Leafs social media tonight, but I happened across this comment on an Insta post complaining about Mitch, and I've been laughing for the last 5 minutes.

[leafdragon16]

So another idea came to mind just now

For Wheeljack's facial mods I heard you're still working on their structure and such. May I present my reference? I've been using a wasp mandible reference for the the way I've been drawing your wheeljack. It also reminded me of preying mantis and tiger beetle. Thought about how his jaws were supposed to split apart, and it gave me an idea.

I did a few concepts of my own and settled on this for his jaws. It's not exactly canon to your design, but I wanted to do my own take on it and wanted to know your thoughts! Just thought this was pretty cool :D Here's a little bit of what I had in mind!

This fic just has me locked in and has given me so many ideas and I love it so much

NECRO. GRIPPING YOUR SHOULDERS. NECRO OH MY GOD THIS IS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE

Ok normal for exactly 2 seconds because I started rambling and drew some small diagrams so I’m putting it under the cut because this got LONG (and it also is looking like it won’t initially post with the readmore TUMBLR so I will probably go back and edit this post a few times upon posting it lol)

EDIT: Okay it is not posting the readmore for some reason so apologies for any nuked dashboards lol

I WILL ANSWER YOUR QUESTION BUT LET ME FREAK OUT ABOUT THAT ART REALLY QUICK BECAUSE I HAD TO SIT DOWN AND PROCESS IT FOR A FULL 30 SECONDS BEDORE I COULD EVEN BEGIN FORMULATING A RESPONSE. I KEEP SCROLLING BACK UP WHILE TYPING JUST TO STARE AT IT

THAT IS TERRIFYING. HE IS ALL TEETH!! THERE IS NOTHING BUT TEETH IN THERE!!! THERE IS TOO MANY TEETH FOR ANYONE TO RIGHTFULLY HAVE WHICH IS EXACTLY THE AMOUNT OF TEETH EX!JACKIE SHOULD HAVE!!!

ALSO THE CIRCULAR SCRAPLET TEETH FAINTLY VISIBLE AT THE BACK OF HIS THROAT?? OH MY GOD?? I HAVE BEEN STRUGGLING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO PORTRAY THAT FOR SO LONG I AM LOSING MY MIND. I AM STICKING MY HEAD IN THERE

OH AND THE ADDED DETAIL OF THE PLACES WHERE HIS JAWS CONNECT ADDS SO MUCH. I DON’T KNOW HOW TO EXPLAIN IT BUT IT LOOKS SO MUCH MORE RAW AND MONSTROUS AND NOT CYBERTRONIAN AND EGHFGRHGFHSGDHFHBDGRFRGRGRGGRR

Ok I will move on to my explanation now but thank you so much!! This is so gorgeous and I love it so much!! This is the sort of thing that would make someone hide their face for centuries and give their teammates nightmares if they were looking it dead in the face (looking at you Ratchet). This is exactly the level of terrifying that I was going for when I originally started writing this fic. It encapsulates it perfectly! He is an absolute nightmare in the best way possible

I have been having a lot of trouble figuring out how his facial mods would work, and that’s mainly because I haven’t been using any references LOL. When I first tried doodling his face wayyyy back in the first post about this AU I used a few screenshots of Terrorcon Breakdown, but I only used it loosely. I absolutely LOVE the insect references for his jaws, it really helps clarify the structure and when I opened the ask and saw them (particularly the mantis) I went “huh that’s actually really close to what I had in mind!” And the got completely blown away by the concept at the bottom LMAO

I originally based his facial mods (or at least how they unhinge) a lot on Predaking. His jaw splits down the middle and at the sides to create two halves (I THINK), and I thought it looked really cool so I wanted to do something like that. But especially now that I’ve been playing with how his jaw works again, I’ve been thinking that it would be better if it splits into three parts like how you drew it. It is more visually cohesive, and it also just makes more sense looking at it! It allows his lower jaw to drop down much further and his mouth to open much wider and just in general isn’t as awkward. I may have downloaded your art both to keep it forever and also to draw a few diagrams, I hope you don’t mind^^

(I had to take a screenshot of your art bc Tumblr won’t let me download it until I post this, so sorry for nuking the quality LMAO)

While I do like the Predaking jaw, I think it works on Predaking but not on Wheeljack because Predaking’s face is so long and his is so flat. So if his jaw were to split into only two parts it would be very awkward, you can see all the lines in the drawing on the left where I kept redrawing his jaw because conceptually it didn’t make sense. Like I mentioned before it also doesn’t really allow his jaw to unhinge, which is a very important part of his design lol.

On the right however, it splits a lot more cleanly! It just all around looks more natural and less awkward and has a lot more maneuverability. I also love the addition of the teeth on the walls/sides of his mouth!! I added a few in my references bc it looked better and made his jaw come together a bit more in it’s horrifying-ness, but the addition of even MORE teeth just amplifies that. It also implies that when he latches on to something, all of the teeth dig in and make it extremely difficult to pull away, allowing him to just drag it into his mouth and shred it to pieces. If he bites down on someone, even if they’re strong enough to pull away they’re not getting their limb back in one piece. The way the teeth are curved in will ensure that they have to rip through their own plating to get away. He looks like a living iron maiden and I am OBSESSEDD

Plus the way his jaw splits is so much more extreme in a way that is so. LOOK AT HIM. When he opens his mouth it’s like a giant tear separates the upper half of his face from the lower half. Horrifying to behold and also looks like it would be painful even though it isn’t, which is exactly the vibe I was going for. He just doesn’t look Cybertronian. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Anyway sorry for the long rant, his jaws have been on my mind a lot because I’ve been struggling with the concept so I kind of just dumped all of the thoughts I’ve been having for 2+ weeks plus all of the thoughts I had when seeing your references and art. If you don’t mind I may be borrowing the references because they really do help illustrate how a split jaw would work. And also if you don’t mind this may be the canon design from now on, just because IT’S SO COOL!! And it makes so much sense conceptually, I actually cannot put into words how much I love this. It fits right in with the worldbuilding!

TLDR: Absolutely god tier take on his design thank u Necro

Can you write a longer version for cum over?

Honestly? I dont think i really WANT to make a longer version for this, even if its something people would like to read, it means that its another fic i need to write which takes time and energy from me, and considering that besides writing i have a lot of life stuff happening right now it will either take a super long time or it will get me burned out from writing.

Feel free to have this Karina as another form of apology

So I saw your piece on Intentional Game Design and was wondering, what's your explanation for piglins? Can they sleep? Do they not need to sleep?

My personal head canon is that they have superior regenerative abilities to deal with no sleeping allowed and the lava everywhere.

Also I really like your pieces on Minecraft mechanics viewed as if they were real things.

We become products of what we've grown up upon. It's as if the very soil on which we stand rises up through the soles of our feet and becomes a part of us. The dark loam made your ancestors farmers gave your your strong hands and brow. The wet sand made your family fisherpeople gave you your tan skin and long legs. How we survive is also how we're made beautiful, and made ourselves.

It was the land that made these beings, the ones with wrath as red as fire and skin that withstands the heat of the sun they were born in. They grew up in this land like their fathers and their fathers did, and they learned to create as well as the rest of us in the land that they were given. The land is kind to them because they're meant for it.

In the same way the loam would not provide for the fisher and the sand not for the famer, the nether does not provide for us. We cannot sleep there. We cannot dream.

Does that make it evil? Or just different from what we need?

The nether is hell. But it is only hell for us.

(The piglins are allowed to sleep.)

berube on the nasty knuckles podcast with riley cote and derek settlemyre on the pressure mitch deals with playing in toronto

"[mitch marner] was, you know, one of our best players all year ... touches all areas of the game for us ... great guy, full of energy and hard worker, again."

"there's been a lot of pressure put on him [in regards to playoff failures] ... they seek out certain guys and get on them. but in the end, yeah, those guys have to, you know, produce for us in the playoffs, but it's not just all about them in the playoffs."

full transcript below the cut

"one of the guys that's just, almost feel bad for him sometimes is, you know, mitch marner. he goes out there, he gets 102 points, the guy's obviously, he's an unbelievable player. there's so much talk about him. do you think maybe there's like too much pressure put on this kid? or, can he handle it? I don't know, I know he's a free agent now, I don't know if, you know obviously if he'll be resigned or not but, it seems like there's a ton of pressure on him and I just wanted your thoughts on him as a player and what you think he may be doing next year."

"yeah, no, he played great for us, obviously. he was, you know, one of our best players all year, had a great year offensively. I mean, again, he touches all areas of the game for us in terms of penalty killing and going head to head against top lines. great guy, full of energy and hard worker, again.

you know, there's always pressure. there's a lot of pressure there. and there's been a lot of pressure put on him, just, I think, all the playoff, like, not advancing enough and moving forward. they seek out certain guys and get on them. but in the end, yeah, those guys have to, you know, produce for us in the playoffs, but it's not just all about them in the playoffs. it's a team and the way I look at it is, we didn't do a good enough job in game 7 as a team to win that game, and that's why we lost. it's not on marner, it's not on matthews, it's on everybody. you know, your top guys have to perform at a good level, but in the end it's always, there's other people that produce in the playoffs and score a big goal now and then that advance you to the next round, right?

so, listen, it's not just on mitch. it's on everyone, including myself, and we gotta try to get better next year and that's the way I look at it. but, you know, there is a lot of pressure on those guys in toronto, and as a player, there's not much you can do about it. you gotta perform, and you gotta try to cut the noise out as much as you can and go play. right? you gotta be strong there in your mind."

"right."

"yeah, 100%."

"and you just, you gotta be used to it by now, too."

Do you think Venasaur can stand cold wether for long periods of time?

the venusaur trainer of the group is here to answer your question, instead of charizard boy. i - leaf - am speaking on behalf of red for this one (i'm sure he would be okay with me answering a few more questions if you have any for my self too~)

for a long term living situation, no. your venusaur will wilt and be miserable. if you are camping or visiting somewhere cold for a month or so, there is nothing to worry about. they are pretty resilient creatures (source: I Have One) and they will hold up until they get back to a more temperate climate. venusaur like tropical to temperate climates and do well with rain and humidity ideally~

Leaf: Do you care if I take the skin off of the Furby

Leaf: I want to make him a God. Once he is free of his sinful flesh he can begin the path towards enlightenment. He will take care of Us.

Leaf: Also I want to softhack his circuits.

Kris: I literally could not care less but never say anything as frightening as that ever again
