Hank and Dean!!!
I wanted to try drawing them a couple months later from the movie bc i have an idea for a comic but this style kicked my ass so bad 😭
my hc is it’s Dean turn to grow a mullet (in his Brock era) and Hank unknowingly looks more like debbie (complementing her look not copying) without having met her yet.
Also firm believer that Hank no matter how hard he tries can’t grow facial hair while Dean can
#the venture bros#venture bros#vbros#why is the official style literally hell#this took wayyyy too long i get why ppl are not abt drawing them exact to style#log: VB art#log: vb

One day Zoro finds out about your little secret and can't help but indulge. CW: AFAB reader, use of sex toys, masturbation (reader and Zoro), fingering, oral (male receiving), orgasm denial, unprotected sex, creampie i think I covered it all let me know if i missed anything! WC: 5.6k Tagging: @tetzoro @eelnoise @sleepymarimo @faglegsanji and thank you @uminozerol and @nc-vb for helping me beta this!!
Living with Zoro was a perfect arrangement, mostly because you and him had nearly completely opposite schedules. You worked in the evening, your job only allowing you to take shifts in the evening, while Zoro was a teacher at a martial arts academy during the day. This setup meant that the apartment was empty and quiet most of the time, and both of you had the time and space to do whatever you guys wanted.
You often crossed paths, though. Sometimes he would come home early and you two would eat dinner together before you headed off for work, or if either of you had some down time, you might lounge on the couch together watching movies and just enjoying each other's company. These fleeting moments were cherished, each filled with easy conversation. You knew each other very well despite not spending a lot of time together.
During the day, while Zoro was out instructing at the dojo, you found your own way of earning some extra cash. As a camgirl, you had developed a following online. The time alone in the apartment was perfect for you to stream without any interruptions.
You had a routine: Zoro would leave for work, and you would transform into your online personality– something only the viewers behind the screen got to see.
As soon as Zoro was out the door, you would set up your space. You’d pull out your camera and lights, setting them up to capture every angle of your body perfectly. You’d lay out your favorite lingerie, picking the ones that had your viewers tossing their money at you. Today, you chose a sheer black lace set that left little to the imagination.
After changing, you’d apply your makeup, much more dramatic than you would ever wear out in public since the harsh lighting washed you out. You’d do your hair in the chosen hairstyle of the day, finalizing your look for your viewers.
Your laptop, propped on the edge of your bed, was already open and waiting. You’d log onto your account, checking your messages and comments left on your last stream. There were always requests, some more explicit with others. You were more than happy to oblige, especially when the requests were paired with the promise of payment.
Once everything was ready, you’d start the stream and watch as the viewer count began to climb. The chat would explode with greetings and compliments, your regulars eagerly awaiting the show. You would always start with some teasing, running your hands over your body, adjusting and playing with the lingerie to give them some glimpses of the skin underneath. As the show progressed, you would spread your legs for the camera, letting them see everything as you slid the vibrator inside of you. You’d often fulfill specific requests. One regular loved watching you bounced on a dildo in nothing but thigh high socks. Another preferred when you brought out the restraints, binding your wrists and pretending to struggle as you performed various acts. You’d oblige in them all, watching as dollar after dollar came through just for you.
To Zoro, you were nothing but his roommate who worked late nights. Little did he know, while he was teaching martial arts, you were on your bed, legs spread wide, putting on a show for hundreds of strangers.
Zoro had his own way of unwinding after a long day at the dojo. He loved teaching martial arts to the students, but he needed to release his tension. While you were out in his evening classes, Zoro found his relief in the corners of the internet. Camgirl sites have become a guilty pleasure of his; a way to indulge in fantasies and relieve stress.
He had his favorites– girls who knew how to work the camera, who could tease and please in ways that left him breathless. One evening, he grew tired of the same routine. The live streams felt repetitive, and he found himself scrolling through the archives of past streams, hoping to find something different.
That's when he saw it. A thumbnail that caught his eye. The person in the image looked familiar. Too familiar. He clicked on the video, a sinking feeling in his gut as he let his curiosity get the best of him. The video loaded, and there you were, staring back at him from the screen, dressed in an outfit that allowed him to see way more of you than he ever has.
For a moment, Zoro froze,conflicted. Should he be watching this? Was it wrong to invade your privacy like this? But his curiosity got the better of him. He didn’t watch the video at first, closing the browser and trying to push the image out of his mind. But as the days went on, he could not stop thinking about it. He could not make eye contact with you around the apartment without flashbacks to the few seconds of the video that he saw, knowing that he accidentally discovered your secret.
He eventually gave in. He found himself back on the website, clicking on the video again, his heart beating hard in his chest. He watched as you teased the audience, your hands running over your body, the chat exploding with comments. It was so surreal seeing you like this. This version of you is so much different from the person he knew.
The more he watched, the more aroused he felt. He couldn’t help it. His hands moved to the waistband of his pants, fingers slipping inside to grasp his growing erection. He freed himself, his cock already hard from the sight of you on the screen. His strokes started slow, matching the pace of your movements, his breath catching in his throat as he watched you slide the vibrator over your most sensitive spots.
Zoro’s hand moved faster as you spread your legs for the camera, the sight of you pleasuring yourself driving him mad. He imagined what it would be like to be there with you, to touch you, to feel what it’s like to be inside of you. His strokes grew more urgent, grip tightening around his shaft.
He then watched as you pulled out a dildo, sliding the toy inside of you, watching as your face contorted with pleasure, and listening to each and every one of those pretty moans of yours. His hand pumped faster, his hips bucking into his fist. His gaze was locked onto the screen as you brought yourself to your orgasm, watching as your body shook as you clenched around the toy--the faces you made, the sounds you produced, the way you looked; it was all music to his ears. The sight of you so lost in ecstasy pushed him over the edge and a low groan escaped his lips as he came, his cum spilling over his hand. He continued to stroke himself, milking every last drop, his eyes never leaving the screen. He was left trembling, his chest heaving with each breath.
He closed the video, feeling a mix of guilt and satisfaction. Watching you had awakened something in him, something he couldn’t ignore. He knew how wrong this was, but he couldn’t help himself. You were his roomate, his friend, but now you are the star of his fantasies.
Zoro couldn’t get you out of his head. It’s as if a switch had been flipped inside of him, one that he could not turn off no matter how hard he tried. Each day after that first video, he found himself sneaking back to a site, searching for more of your past streams. It became a nightly ritual: you would leave for your evening classes, and Zoro would settle into his room, laptop open, itching to find the next video of you.
The guilt gnawed at him, but the pleasure he derived from watching you overpowered it. Each and every video was a deeper dive into you. He watched as you used different toys, different positions, each one driving him crazier than the last. He studied every detail of your body, memorized the sounds you made, the ways your body would react to certain stimulations.
It wasn’t long before he built a habit. Every evening, without fail, he would find himself with his hand wrapped around his cock, gaze glued to the screen as you performed. He’d fuck his fist to the sight of you every night, and each orgasm was even more intense than the last.
The guilt became harder to bear in person. During those rare moments when your schedules overlapped, Zoro found it difficult to look you in the eyes. He couldn’t shake the image of you on screen, the sounds of your pleasure bouncing in his mind. When you would sit across from him at dinner, chatting about your day, he would nod along, but his mind would drift back to the videos, to the things he had seen you do.
He began to watch you more closely around the apartment, stealing glances when he thought you weren’t looking. When you’d bend over to grab something from the fridge, his eyes would trail down to your ass, imagining lifting your skirt and taking you right there. If you were doing laundry, he found himself fantasizing about bending you over the washing machine, your moans and cries muffled by the sound of the spin cycle. Even mundane tasks like washing dishes became erotic in his mind; he’d imagine coming up behind you, pressing himself against you as he tore your clothes off.
The fantasies were constant, and he couldn’t escape them. Each time he looked at you, the scenes that played out in his mind were vivid and intense. He was drowning in his desire for you.
As fate would have it, one afternoon, Zoro came home quite early from work, an unexpected event that gave him the afternoon free. You were surprised to see him walk through the door, but you both fell into your usual comradery, sharing lunch together and chatting. The tension that had been building in his mind was ever so present, but he had to push it aside in your company.
As the afternoon wore on, you glanced at the clock and realized you needed to start your stream soon. The realization that Zoro would be home while you streamed had anxiety bubbling up within you. But you couldn’t cancel, your viewers had come to expect your regular appearances, and you didn’t want to disappoint them. You scurried off to your room and quickly put yourself together.
A sense of nervousness filled your gut as you set up the streaming equipment. The thought of Zoro being able to possibly hear you made your mind race a million thoughts a minute, but you just had to stick to your schedule.
You flicked the ring light on, and then turned on the camera. You took a deep breath, trying to calm your heart. You greeted your viewers with the usual smile.
“Hey everyone. Ready for another fun night?” you whispered.
The usual routine started, slowly undressing and teasing yourself. Nothing much has changed other than your lack of vocalizing. Any moans that escaped your lips were soft, barely able to be picked up by the microphone, and you often bit your lip to prevent any other noises from escaping. As you slid a dildo inside of you, your breath hitched, and you almost whined out, but stopped when you remembered that Zoro could be listening.
A comment popped up on the screen: “why are you so quiet tonight?”
You stared at the comment, and your eyes then flickered at the wall that separated you from Zoro’s room. “My roommate is home tonight,” you muttered. “I have to be quiet.”
Another comment: “Does he know what you do?”
You shook your head, softly laughing. “No, he has no idea,” you whispered.
As you continued to fuck yourself with the dildo, you couldn’t help but let out a soft whimper. The toy felt so good inside of you, but you just had to keep it down. You moved slowly, savoring every inch, every ridge, every vein as it slid in and out of you, your eyes fluttering shut as you concentrated on keeping your voice low.
“I bet your roommate would love to see this,” another viewer commented. You almost paused your movements, caught off guard by the thought of Zoro watching you like this, but you played into the idea, since other viewers seemed to be goading you on to talk about your roommate more.
Unbeknownst to you, Zoro was on the other side of the wall doing just that: watching you. He had the live stream opened on his laptop, headphones in his ears, as he watched you. He was rock hard, eyes blown with arousal, watching you as you fuck yourself, the knowledge that you were on the other side of the wall driving him mad.
He couldn’t help but palm himself through his pants, breath catching in his throat as he watched you. His thoughts were interrupted by your next words.
“You know, my roommate, he’s quite the built man,” you started. “He’s probably bigger than this old piece of silicone.” He watched as you moved the dildo deeper, the stretch making you gasp softly. Your hips bucked against it, and you had to bite your lip even harder to keep quiet. “He’d probably fuck me like this,” you nearly moaned out to the audience, your eyes half-lidded with lust. “Slow at first, then much, much harder… until I can’t help but cum all over his cock.”
With his free hand, Zoro couldn’t help but give in and start typing out “Tell us more about this roommate of yours.”
Your eyes scanned over the comment, “He’s strong,” you whispered, sliding the dildo in deeper. “I bet he’d pin me down and fuck me hard, just like this,” you emphasized your words by diving the dildo rougher into your cunt, using your free hand to cover your mouth to muffle any moans that escaped.
This sent Zoro’s hands flying to unbutton his pants. He freed himself, his hand wrapping around his throbbing cock as he watched you. The thought of you imagining him while fucking yourself was almost too much, and he stroked himself in time with your movements, his gaze never tearing from the screen.
“He’d probably take control,” you continued, your voice in a trembling whisper. “He wouldn’t hold back, would make sure I feel every inch of him. I bet he’d love to watch me fall apart, love seeing how desperate I would get for him.”
Zoros hand moved faster along his length, the sight of you fucking yourself while fantasizing about him was making his head spin. His fingers flew over the keyboard again, typing out “bet you would look good wearing nothing but his red and white striped button up.”
Your eyes glanced over the comment, and you breathlessly laughed, “Yeah, maybe I should wear that striped…” your movements slowed down, and your breathing slowed down as a look of confusion crossed your face. Then, with no warning, you pulled the dildo out of you and launched over to your computer to stop the stream.
Fuck.
You had realized that the commenter in question was Zoro. That comment about the striped shirt was too specific. Who else in the world would know that information but him?. You grabbed a large t-shirt and tossed it over your head, barely covering yourself as you stormed out of your room and down the hall to his.
You barged into Zoro’s room without knocking, catching him frantically trying to adjust his pants. His laptop was still open, the streaming website on full display.
“Zoro!” you exclaimed, your voice a mix of anger and embarrassment.
He looked at you, eyes wide with panic. “I- uh…” he trailed off, unable to find any words that could save him.
“You were watching me!” you accused, your chest heaving with emotions. “How long have you been watching?”
Zoro’s mouth opened and closed, his usual composure having shattered. “I found one of your old streams on the website, and, well…” he trailed off again, face flushed with embarrassment.
“You’ve been getting off to me,” you said, more a statement than a question. “This whole time.”
Zoro swallowed hard, nodding slightly, eyes darting to the ground. “Yeah…”
You couldn’t deny all of the times that you had fantasized about him, either. He was your muse, and the thought of him fucking you was what got you off every stream. Being faced with your fantasy, knowing that he also had the same fantasy, you didn’t know how to go on. You couldn’t pick whether to be angry at him or to pounce on him. The arousal eventually won.
“I don’t know, I... I just couldn’t help myself,” Zoro stammered out.
“But you just couldn’t resist getting off to your roommate,” you stated. Zoro’s gaze met yours, slight confusion evident as he realized how calm you were about this.
You took a step forward, and with your voice lowered, “You couldn’t resist getting off to me.”
Zoro was silent, watching as you stepped forward, stopping in front of him and locking eyes. Silence stretched between the two of you as you thought of what to say. Then, your mouth opened; you took in a breath, hesitating before asking, “So… which part did you like best?”
This question caught him off guard. He looked at you with slight shock and he stammered, trying to figure out how to respond. “The… the part where you talked about me.” he finally stated.
Despite all of the shock, all of the anger, you could not deny the arousal simmering beneath the surface. “Well, let’s take a few steps back before we reach that part,” you said as you played with the hem of the shirt.
His gaze followed your movements, watching as your fingers played with the fabric. He swallowed hard, his Adam's apple bobbing in his throat. “What do you mean?” he asked, his tone a mixture of arousal and confusion.
“You’ve been watching me,” you said, taking another step closer to him, your voice lowering to a sultry whisper. “Now, it’s your turn to show me.
The combination of the tone of your voice and your words caused a flush to spread across Zoro’s cheeks. “Show you… what?” he asked, though he had a pretty good idea of what you meant.
You took his hand and guided it to the bottom of your t-shirt, encouraging him to lift it up. “Show me what you’ve been doing while watching me,” you murmered.
His hands trembled slightly as he raised the material, exposing your bare skin underneath. He let out a shaky breath,his eyes swirling with desire as they raked across your body. “You want me to…?” You cut him off with a nod.
“Yes,” you whispered, leaning back to sit on the bed. “I want to see you.”
His eyes darkened as his hands flew to unbutton his pants once more. He hesitated for a moment, his gaze meeting yours, in search of any sign of hesitation or uncertainty from you. But all he saw was the same arousal and yaerning that mirrored his own.
With a deep breath, he dropped his pants down to his ankles, freeing his throbbing erection. You couldn’t help but gasp softly at the sight, your eyes widening in appreciation of him. “Zoro…” you breathed out, reaching to touch him.
He shuddered at the contact, his hips bucking involuntarily into your hand. “I want to see you touch yourself,” you told him, your voice laced with anticipation. “Just like you did when you were watching me.” You shifted to lay back on the bed, bare body on display for him to gawk at.
Zoro’s breath hitched as he wrapped his hand around his cock, his strokes slow at first. His eyes never left your body. “Like this?” he asked, his voice low.
You nodded, your own arousal growing by the second. “Yes. Just like that”
His strokes grew faster, breath coming out in ragged gasps as he looked at you. The sight of him pleasuring himself, knowing that he had been doing this while watching you, was almost too much to bear. Your own hand moved to your dripping core, your fingers dipping into your wetness as you plunged them in and out, mirroring his own movements.
“Fuck,” Zoro groaned, his eyes glazing over with lust as he watched you. “You’re so fucking hot.”
You couldn’t help but moan at his words, your fingers working faster as you moved to rub your clit. “Zoro,” you whimpered, the sound of his name on your lips almost sending him over the edge.
Suddenly, he reached out and hoisted you up, pulling you against him, his lips capturing yours in a heated kiss. The feeling of his body against yours, his cock pressing against your thigh, it was intoxicating. You kissed him back with equal energy, your hands quickly moving to take off his shirt.
Zoro’s shirt hit the floor with a soft thud, and your hands immediately started roaming over his chest and abs, feeling the heat of his skin under your fingers. His mouth trailed from your lips to your neck, planting hot, opened-mouthed kisses along your throat.
You slid down his body, hands tracing trailing along his abdomen until you were on your knees before him. Your eyes locked with his as you wrapped your hand around his cock, giving a few, slow strokes. His breath caught in his throat and he let out a low groan as he watched you.
You leaned forward, placing a soft kiss on the tip before taking him into your mouth. You could feel his body rumble as he let out a groan, his hands threading through your hair as you started to take more of him, your tongue swirling against his length,
Your free hand moved between your legs, fingers slipping past your folds as you started to rub your clit as you sucked him off.
You hollowed your cheeks, sucking harder as you moved up and down his shaft, your hand pumping what you couldn’t fit into your mouth. “Fuck, that’s so good,” you heard him groan above you. “Keep going, just like that.”
You moaned around his cock, the vibrations making him shudder. You needed him desperately, evidenced by the way your wetness was building up to the point that it started to drip onto the ground below you. The sight of you on your knees for him, taking him deep into your mouth as you pleasured yourself, was a sight to behold.
But he wanted more. More than just your mouth. He wanted to be inside of you, to feel you squeezing around him. He pulled you by the hair off his cock, chest heaving as he tried to hold onto some semblance of control. “Come here,” he murmured, voice laced with desire as he lifted you onto your feet. He pushed you backwards until you landed on the plush bed, your body bouncing slightly on the mattress.
You barely had time to catch your breath before he was on top of you, his lips crashing onto yours in a bruising kiss. His hands were everywhere, rough and greedy, exploring every inch of you. When his fingers found your dripping core, he didn’t waste any time, plunging a finger deep inside of you. You gasped against his mouth, your hips jerking up to meet his hand.
“You’re so fucking wet,” he muttered against your lips. You could feel his smirk against your mouth as he added a second finger, thrusting them in and out, a squelching sound filling the air from the motions. You cried out when he curled his fingers to hit that perfect spot, back arching off the bed in your pleasure.
“Zoro,” you whimpered, your hands grabbing at his shoulders as he finger-fucked you mercilessly.
He watched as your jaw went slack as he added a third finger, stretching you wide. The feeling of his fingers dragging in and out of your gummy walls was overwhelming; you could feel that familiar coil tightening in you as he hammered that one spot that had you seeing stars. You were so close, right at the edge--
“Not yet,” Zoro commanded. His movements stopped and he pulled his fingers out of you, a string of your slick still connecting you to his fingers. You whined out at the feeling of him leaving you achingly empty. “Just a bit longer. I want you to cum on my cock.” He brought his fingers to his lips, licking your slick off of his fingers. The sight alone made you clench around nothing, aching for his touch.
“Turn over,” he growled. You complied embarrassingly fast, rolling onto your stomach and lifting your hips for him.
His hands gripped your ass, kneading the skin before he positioned himself behind you. You felt the head of his cock teasing your entrance, and you couldn’t help but push back against him, desperate to feel him inside of you.
“Impatient, aren’t we?” he mocked, his voice dripping with amusement at your actions. He grabbed your hips and, without warning, thrust into you, burying himself into the hilt with one swift motion. You cried out, the sensation of his thick cock stretching you completely.
Zoro groaned above you, “Fuck, you’re so tight,” his hands squeezing your hips tightly as he began to move. He started slow; you could feel every ridge, every vein, every detail of him as he pulled out almost entirely before slamming back into you.
The room soon filled with the sounds of skin slapping against skin, and your combined sounds of pleasure. You could feel that coil tightening again, the familiar pressure building within you as he fucked you sensless. He leaned over you, his chest pressing against your back, “Touch yourself,” he ordered, “I want to feel you cum all over my cock.”
With that, your hand snaked down between your legs, fingers finding your clit and rubbing it in tight, desperate circles. You whined out, burying your head into the mattress below you, profanities and pleas spilling from your lips.
Zoro’s hand combed through your hair, tugging hard and pulling your head off the mattress. “What was that? Hmm?” he growled.
You cried out, your head arching back. “Zoro,” you whimpered, voice strained and filled with need. “Oh god, you’re so fucking deep. K-keep going!”
You heard him chuckle behind you “I bet your viewers would love to see this.” he murmured, pausing momentarily as a groan escaped him. “Bent over, getting fucked sensless, begging for more.”
The thought made you clench around him, your walls tightening around his cock in response to his words. “Oh, you like the idea of that, don’t you?” Zoro taunted. He pulled all the way out, pausing momentarily before slamming right back in, making you gasp and cry out. “You love the idea of them seeing you like this, don’t you? Bent over and fucked until the only word you know is my name?”
You could only moan in response, your fingers working frantically on your sensitive bud as he pounded into you. “Y-yes,” you managed to stammer out, admitting to liking the idea.
“Good,” he growled, his thrusts becoming even more forceful. “Maybe one day we can show them that roommate of yours you were moaning about.” He chuckled, amused by just how easily he’d turned you into a mess.
You whimpered, body trembling as you tried to hold back your orgasm. Zoro’s hand left your hair, trailing down your back until he reached your ass, grabbing it tightly before giving it a harsh smack. “Keep talking,” he commanded. “I like it when you beg.”
“Please,” you cried out, your voice whiny and desperate. “Please, Zoro, l-let me cum. I need to.”
He chuckled lowly. “Not yet,” he murmured. “Hold it just a little longer for me.”
You sobbed in frustration, your body shaking as you tried to hold back. “Ngh~ I can’t,” you pleaded, your voice breaking. “Please, Zoro, it hurts-- I can’t hold it.”
“Yes, you can,” he snarled, his hips slamming into you with a bruising force. His hands slid up your sides and he firmly grabbed your waist, hoisting you up until your back was flush against his chest. One of his hands was firm around your waist, and one hand on your chest, squeezing one of your breasts tightly. "Keep holding it for me; you're almost there"
You were overwhelmed, so, so close to euphoria. “Please, Zoro,” you whimpered out,a desperate plea. “I need to cum. I need it so bad.”
He bit down on your shoulder, pulling a gasp from your lips as he groaned into the skin underneath, the sound vibrating against you. “Fine,” he finally relented, “Cum for me. Cum all over my cock.”
This permission was all you needed. With a scream, your orgasm crashed over you, your body quivering as your walls clamped around him. The intensity of the pleasure was nothing like you’ve ever felt before; it left you seeing stars.
“Oh, fuck,” Zoro groaned, his thrusts speeding up and becoming more erratic as he chased his own orgasm. The feeling of your hole squeezing him so tightly was the last push he needed before he was pushed over the edge. His hips stilled against you and he came, his seed painting your walls and groaning your name. His hips bucked a few more times as he emptied himself inside of you, holding your limp and spent body close against him, his body still shuddering from his orgasm.
For a moment, the room was silent except for the sounds of your heaving breaths. Zoro finally let go of you, letting you collapse onto the bed. He pulled out of you slowly, his softening dick connecting to you with a string of your shared fluids until it snapped. He collapsed beside you, panting as he tried to catch his breath.
He pulled you against him, murmuring, “That was much better than I imagined.” He let out a breathless chuckle, the sound rumbling through his chest as you lay there tangled in each other's limbs.
You smiled, feeling a sense of satisfaction and intimacy that was far beyond what you had ever felt during your streams. “Yeah, it was,” you agreed, your voice soft.
For a few moments, you both lay there in silence, basking in the afterglow. Zoro’s hand gently traced patterns in your side, his calloused fingertips leaving goosebumps in their trail. “Do you think,” you started, your voice hesitant, “that this will change things between us?”
Zoros paused to think, his fingers stilling. “I believe it already has,” he answered. “But I like you, and I think you like me, too. We can figure out the rest together.”
You took in his words and nodded. “Yeah… I suppose we can.”
He smiled, pressing a kiss to your temple. “Good. Because I’m not going anywhere.” With that, he sat up, and offered a hand to you. “Come on, let's get you cleaned up.”
You tried to join him, but your body protested, a dull ache spreading through your muscles. You groaned, flopping back onto the bed. “I’m too sore to move,” you whined out.
Zoro chuckled, shaking his head at you. “You're hopeless,” he teased. Without another word, he scooped you up effortlessly, lifting you into his arms in a bridal carry.
You wrapped your arms around his neck, resting your head against his chest. “Show off,” you murmured playfully.
He carried you to the bathroom, the sound of running water quickly filling the air as he’d turned on the shower. “Alright, let’s get you cleaned up,” he repeated, stepping into the shower with you. He carefully set you down, still holding you up as you struggled to find your balance with your newfound sore legs.
You looked up at him with a playful glint in your eyes. “You know, I could get used to this kind of treatment,” you said, your voice teasing.
He smirked, his hand moving to grab the soap to begin gently washing your body. “Oh, I’m sure you could,” he replied. “But I think I deserve something in return.”
You raised an eyebrow, curious at his words. “Oh? And what would that be?”
His hands ran across your body, lathering you up with the soap, before they landed on your chest to give it a squeeze. “How about I get some more of you?” he suggested.
You glanced down and you could see him hardening again at the proposition, and you couldn’t help but give in. “Are you really up for more?” you asked, a smirk playing on your lips.
Zoro leaned in, his own brushing against yours as his hands continued to squeeze you. “I’m not the one who can barely walk right now,” he reminded you.
You giggled at his words, and he silenced you with a kiss, slipping his tongue in as he pressed you against the shower wall. “I guess we’ll just have to find out,” you whispered back, ready for whatever he had in store for the two of you.

So, v-pet update, I got distracted for a while since I started playing Stardew Valley, and then I got sick and didn't play with the v-pets for two days. I'm also neglecting the VB big time. No new purchases and probably not going to be any for a while, though I did pre-order those X2s that should be here next month, and I'm expecting some Dim Cards to arrive eventually.
I'm one stage away from adult T-Rex on my Dinkie Dino. This thing is on it's last legs with battery life though so it's going to be a close call. I pretty much have to tilt it all the way back to see my dino. That's the biggest downside to vintage v-pets. No save feature. ( And i'm kind of miffed that Tamagotchi didn't add that or any of the other new features in the OG Tamagotchi remakes )
Put the Virus Busters Pendulum Z away on March 1 to raise Deep Savers Z. I Suspect I have an evo fail on my MarineChimeramon. Guess I'll have to jogress.
I put Pokemon Pikachu away. I got what I wanted out of it, I'd like to pull it out again when my life is in better shape to run pedometer pets that have consequences for inactivity the way pokemon pikachu does. I'm hoping to get better conrol of my life so that can be a reality.
I've made a lot of progress in the Digivice Ver Complete. Slowly but surely... I believe I'm in the Digimon Adventure Tri portion of the series now. I'm annoyed that I can never seem to tell when it's a good idea to digivolve or when it's not, I can burn through my DP real quick on a day where i'm playing actively. I keep it active, because unlike Pikachu, it doesn't give penalties for not shaking the device.
And lastly, the big one that prompted me to do this update, might not be exciting to anyone else but remember when I lost my data on my translucent green DM20th? And how upset I was that my massive log was now empty? Well I finally raised every digimon that was in the log, and then some, so now my log has 68 out of 138 digimon in it. I'm so happy to be back to where I left off.
I apologize for slowing down on the v-pet art... the thing is... I suck at drawing most of those later level digimon with all the armor and intricate details. I don't know how they manage to make a full episode of anime with any of these things without resorting to CG. Mecha artists deserve mad respect for their skill.

My rants are 1% of what I post on the blankshipping tag. The rest is me being the only person posting fan fic and (mostly other peoples') art of train twin yaoi. I haven't read your fic because I gave up on checking the shipping tag on AO3 long ago when it was taken over by dog dicks and death porn. I don't remember following you. It must have been right after PLA came out when the blankshipping fandom was fun. I used to have the time of my life reblogging posts with gifs because every other fandom besides submas appreciates that, and artists in other fandoms aren't like, "I can't stand human interaction because I'm a skewwed smol autistic bean!"
Your drawing caught my fancy because it's one of the few things I've seen on the shipping tag that isn't so far removed to become unrecognizable. Ya knows, it's how blankshipping was before you people made it all about you and your transness and your kinks and your wallowing in constant misery and your dog-fucking clique. Now all that's left is you, and I'm not interested in you; I'm interested in shipping identical train twins. What's wrong with that? Why can't a person be into a specific thing and have it stay a thing? There might be other people who want to ship twins, but then they see what the fandom is and might think, "Ya know....I'm really into these identical twins in train costumes, but in order to get social in this fandom, I have to connect with a bunch of gross furries into doggie dick death porn and stupid fetish bingo." *quiety backs off*
Then you get nothing new but more sockpuppets doing exclusively ABO which most people find repulsive. *checks* Actually, there's a new one-time use sockpuppet that showed up just this morning. They tagged their post, "tw: implied body mutilation". That sounds miserable and hopeless af, right up everybody's alley.
Side note: Not to just pick on the dog fuckers because I realize there is every sort of animal buggery going on in the blankshipping tag. Whatever happened to that person doing Ingo and Emmet as Cult of the Lamb? I saw that and was like, "Sheep are cute! Why can't we do more with sheep around here? After all, sheep buggery is part of my national heritage because I married a guy from 'straya. What was that song he taught me? Something like (sung to the tune of Waltzing Matilda), "Drinking a VB, drinking a VB "You'll come a-drinking a VB, with me" And he sang as he hog-tied and log-jammed that stolen sheep, "You'll come a-drinking a VB, with me".
some hades and persephone au modern outfits~
they are indeed flirting on the clock, shameful… ( ̄y▽ ̄)╭
#blankshipping#fandumb fail#srsly tho#is it just me?!#ask me about my million stupid bj aus#TWINSTWINSTWINSTWINS#straight up clownin'

What happened to 2018 and thoughts for 2019
I feel like the last nearly 7 years have been consumed by just surviving day to day, without plans for the future, with a limited artistic bank. When you have a day job, live by yourself and do the side hustle, it’s a very fine balance of managing your health and well-being
What went well?
I got an iPad Pro and started sketching again. I tend to use the iPad more for watching Netflix, but I’m getting more comfortable with Procreate.
I became a member of the Guild Wars 2 Collective, contributing to their 2018 zine, Journeys. I’ll be releasing the images later this month. It combined my love of GW2 the game, and provided a challenge for me artistically as the images were more narrative in style, as well as being styled after the GW2 concept art. The community is fantastic and I felt I learnt a lot!
I did a book cover for Sentinel by Melanie Jordaan
I did 4 character portraits including 2 scifi pieces, a tiefling and a Pathfinder elf
I joined several art discord groups, and felt a bit more connected to other artists
My guild finally claimed their guild hall as we had enough players on at the one time (I know, no one really cares unless they game :) )
I shifted my website from Wordpress to Squarespace. While I miss some of the customisation of Wordpress, I don’t miss logging in all the time to update plugins. The base store is not as great as I would like, but it’s suitable for my purposes. I recently revamped the homepage and am now much happier with it.
What changed for me?
In the day job, I returned to my role as both a manager and a full stack JavaScript developer after having worked as a technical analyst and security specialist for about 5 years. I’m still a fairly novice JS developer, having been a .Net developer and VB 6 dev for my earlier career. I get frustrated with the lack of strong types, and the debugging process, but it will eventually start to sink in
I moved around my desk so that painting became much easier. My Cintiq is now my main monitor so it’s much easier for me to start painting
I built a new computer. This could go in the bad section, but I now have a shiny new computer that I hope will last for a number of years (and won’t start overheating like the last one!)
My illness flared up for me again. I had to take several weeks off as I changed medications and went through the side-effect process (This year I’ve had 3 different meds, and changed doses about 6 times - I have a slow drug metabolism so getting the dose right is pretty awful)
By the end of the year, I was not beating myself up for my lack of art and plateauing of digital art skills. For months, I couldn’t bring myself to look at Instagram or many of my old art haunts because it just made me feel like crap. It wasn’t jealousy, it was about feeling depressed about my current art journey. I have a pile of unopened ImagineFX that I need to go through, as well as a number of art tutorials I’ve purchased and never finished.
I moved a lot of my work to Redbubble, and abandoned my Etsy store. I’ve been adding new colouring pages and added a few of my prints and things to my website store. The main reason for this has been that shipping from Australia has become incredibly frustrating. I can sometimes get things from the UK faster than I can get from within Australia. With many people expecting quick turnaround that places like Amazon Prime have, they sometimes don’t understand that I have no control of the post or customs, and shipping takes time and left fairly neutral ratings. Some prints took 3 weeks to arrive in the US which I understand is a long time. Other times the print would arrive in a week. This was the minority of customers, but to be honest, it was stressing me out.
I revamped my Commission page. There’s more tweaks on the horizon.
What I want and need to improve on
Anatomy - Doing the GW2 project, I came across some shortcomings with my narrative and dynamic poses. Partly this is due to the fact so much of my work has been portraits and fairly static poses
Speed of painting, and changing my mindset. I procrastinate sometimes because my head keeps telling me what I produce will be garbage, and my ambitions are bigger than my skill set. The last 2 portraits I did quite quickly and I was pretty happy with how they turned out. I let go of my need for absolute perfection and just knuckled down to work.
Keeping my house tidy - I’m in the process of sorting though the accumulated crap in my house. My pantry and kitchen drawers was the beginning, and OMG it is so nice to open drawers and be able to easily find things.
Landscape fundamentals. Again, working on the GW2 project I struggled with landscape and architecture. I want to improve, though I don’t have a great love for painting landscapes
Managing my time better. I game far too much, I need to build in time to sketch and paint
Future Goals for 2019?
Turn some old sketches into proper paintings - like the Queen of Foxes piece, and the Dragon Queen sketch. I’d love to repaint my old, old painting of the Blue witch
Do a lot of personal work. At the moment I am commission free… something that hasn’t happened for about 15 years. To be honest, I probably burnt myself out… again. I’ve knocked back a number of commissions this year because they either made me stressed because I didn’t feel like I had the skill to create them, or were requests for art types I’ve done before, and struggled to paint, which again stressed me out. I believe if you want a good commission process, the artist should have the skill, and also have a level of enthusiasm that produces quality art. I’m fortunate that I don’t have to take on every commission that comes my way, and I always want a happy client.
With that personal art, I’d like to set up a world on WorldAnvil and design a fantasy world which has been floating around in my head.
Figure out my sketch commissions. I want to set up Kofi or something that allows sketch commissions on a budget, where I have more artistic control
Paint some fan art. I have a list of things on Trello, including Dragon Age, World of Warcraft, GW2, Elder Scrolls
Maybe get the watercolours out and paint something. Unfortunately my cat is a PITA and often makes traditional painting a challenge
I want to publish a colouring book. At the moment I don’t have enough art, but I’d like to make a collection of illustrations for personal use only. So creating enough colouring pages so that I have at least 24 images is one goal
Do another Dragon Sidhe painting. I had an Amethyst one partially done, but I don’t like him enough to finish him
Do some video recordings. I’ve been recording my paintings through procreate, but these are just sketches
Have a better balance of work and health.

Are you actually online or are these posts just queued?
Pretty much everything is queued at the moment, love.I'm running the arts department of our VBS this year, so I've been getting up a lot earlier than I'm used to and pretty much falling asleep as soon as I get home.I do get breaks, but I have no internet while I'm there, so I can only log on either before vbs or after work(actual work, not vbs). I'm running on fumes at the moment, my energy is sapped. So everything - up until, probably, this weekend - will be queued. With the accepting of time-sensitive asks or posts that I see as soon as I log on.

Waymo and Uber propose AI techniques to improve self-driving systems
During a workshop on autonomous driving at the Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR) 2020, Waymo and Uber presented research to improve the reliability — and safety — of their self-driving systems. Waymo principal scientist Drago Anguelov detailed ViDAR, a camera and range-centric framework covering scene geometry, semantics, and dynamics. Raquel Urtasun, chief scientist at Uber’s Advanced Technologies Group, demonstrated a pair of technologies that leverage vehicle-to-vehicle communication for navigation, traffic modeling, and more.
ViDAR
ViDAR, a collaboration between Waymo and one of Google’s several AI labs, Google Brain, infers structure from motion. It learns 3D geometry from image sequences — i.e., frames captured by car-mounted cameras — by exploiting motion parallax, a change in position caused by movement. Given a pair of images and lidar data, ViDAR can predict future camera viewpoints and depth data.
According to Anguelov, ViDAR uses shutter timings to account for rolling shutter, the camera capture method in which not all parts of a scene are recorded simultaneously. (It’s what’s responsible for the “jello effect” in handheld shots or when shooting from a moving vehicle.) Along with support for up to five cameras, this mitigating step enables the framework to avoid displacements at higher speeds while improving accuracy.
Above: A depth prediction model created with ViDAR.
ViDAR is being used internally at Waymo to provide state-of-the-art camera-centric depth, egmotion (estimating a camera’s motion relative to a scene), and dynamics models. It led to the creation of a model that estimates depth from camera images and one that predicts the direction obstacles (including pedestrians) will travel, among other advances.

V2VNet
Researchers at Uber’s Advanced Technologies Group (ATG) created a system called V2VNet that enables autonomous cars to efficiently share information with each other over the air. Using V2VNet, cars within the network exchange messages containing data sets, timestamps, and location information, compensating for time delays with an AI model and intelligently selecting only relevant data (e.g., lidar sensor readings) from the data sets.
Above: Predictions informed by V2VNet.
To evaluate V2VNet’s performance, ATG compiled a large-scale vehicle-to-vehicle corpus using a “lidar simulator” system. Specifically, the team generated reconstructions of 5,500 logs from real-world lidar sweeps (for a total of 46,796 training and 4,404 validation frames), simulated from viewpoints of up to seven vehicles.
The results of several experiments show V2VNet had a 68% lower error rate compared to single vehicles. Performance increased with the number of vehicles in the network, showing “significant” improvements on far and occluded objects and cars traveling at high speed.
It’s unclear whether V2VNet will make its way into production on real-world cars, but Uber rival Waymo’s driverless Chrysler Pacifica minivans wirelessly exchange information about hazards and route changes via dual modems. “[Our cars] still have to rely on onboard computation for anything that is safety-critical, but … [5G] will be an accelerator,” said Waymo CTO Dmitri Dolgov in a presentation last year.

8th Wall launches Face Effects tool for AR facial animations
8th Wall is launching Face Effects, a new cloud tool that enables developers to create facial effects that wrap around someone’s face using augmented reality technology. 8th Wall made the announcement at the Augmented World Expo 2020, a digital event that highlights AR technology, such as glasses that overlay animations on the real world.
The face filter developer tools are based on WebAR, which enables AR experiences to be accessed via a web browser instead of an app. 8th Wall Face Effects is designed to give developers and brands control to create face filters that are interactive, real-time, and that live on their own websites.
Developers can launch a new category of face filters we have not yet seen before, including those that leverage real-time applications programming interfaces (APIs), a wide variety of asset types including video textures, multiplayer support, and more. Tom Emrich, vice president of product at 8th Wall, and Rigel Benton, interaction designer, showed me a demo during an interview.
“We’re on a mission to make augmented reality accessible to everyone,” Emrich said. “And we’ve done that by creating developer tools that allow for our developers to create AR and VR experiences that harness the full power of the open web. We are now adding face effects to the mix. And so with face effects, our developers are going to be able to anchor 3D objects to face attachment points. So you can add virtual hats, virtual jewelry, or glasses to your face.”

One of the cool things I saw was the ability to tap my webcam to overlay augmented reality sunglasses on my face. It wrapped the glasses around my face in a realistic way — something that is pretty hard to do. You can see a demo here that is viewable via a webcam.
Beyond WebAR, 8th Wall Face Effects can also be used across all devices (iOS/Android and desktops using a webcam) and benefit from no app required. You just click a link to experience it. Developers can choose the asset types, file sizes, and content to maximize the value for their audience.

In this way, Face Effects created with 8th Wall could use the live activity of sports data feeds to constantly change the design a fan face paint (yep, sounds scary to me too). Fans could livestream a video as a texture on their faces, connect multiple users together to create a shared shopping experience, and integrate with developers’ preferred analytics, customer relationship management system, and payment systems in virtual try-on products.
Developers can simply scan a QR code to open up a cloud editor that adds a 3D object to your face. The edges of virtual sunglasses can stop at the edge of your face because an occluder prevents it from going right through your face. You can put virtual tattoos on your face to see what they look like before you make them permanent.
“You can jump into a Tilt Brush app and create some art that you could import easily,” Emrich said. “We always provide templates that can really kickstart development.”
Benton showed a chain of mini skulls hanging from his pirate’s hat. The virtual skulls bounced off his real head, as the physics system detected the outline of his head and prevented the skulls from going right through it.
Palo Alto, California-based 8th Wall has about 20 employees, and it was founded in 2016.
Jason Yim, CEO of mixed reality agency Trigger, said in a statement that 8th Wall will enable brands to entertain, engage, and sell in new ways via the web.
With 8th Wall Face Effects, developers can anchor 3D objects to face attachment points, render face mesh with easy to use face components with textures and shaders, and design completely custom effects. Similar to 8th Wall’s existing World Effects and Image Target AR, Face Effects supports development with popular web frameworks such as A-Frame and Three.js.
New developers can sign up for a 14-day free trial of the 8th Wall platform. Existing developers can simply log in and get started using the Face Effects project templates.
