forgive me father, for i cannot help but admire the chosen of your sworn foe

I wanted to ask! May I use your Mouthwashing art as an icon on Tumblr? I wanna ask before I do so since I always include credit and permission <3

Hello hello, thanks for asking! As long as you include credit somewhere please feel free :D

devil’s advocate X

your jimmy reminds me of my husband, gallagher hsr, and it makes me wanna [redacted]. have a good day bestie !

NO WAAAAY HAHA I LOVE GALLAGHER!! I only drew him once like a year ago... I should try again if I can get back into playing star rail!!

How did you feel about Mouthwashing? The art I have seen (yours included) made it a better experience because the level that really set me off was the polls monster and retrieving the bottle. Then there was what I considered rigged achievements. I will also say I love the creativity with Mouthwashing OCs in the fandom. That too made it better.

Oh man, I love this game so deeply... my account probably made that kind of obvious though lol! I find Mouthwashing so masterful in delivering what it sets out to do in a succinct way. There are multiple messages to take from it, but they're all strong and all tie together meaningfully. I like that some of them are pretty in-your-face while others are really subtle, and there's still details I pick up on during subsequent replays even though I would think I know the content of this game in and out by now!

I originally put jacksepticeye's playthrough on in the background while I was drawing since I do that with a lot of videos, and this one caught my eye because of curly in the thumbnail (I thought his design looked really cool!) I didn't get super into it immediately, but there were some moments where I had to stop and just watch... I remember the scene with feeding curly his leg hit me really hard. And then it was one of those stories I kept constantly thinking about for the rest of the week, so I had to play it for myself... and the rest is history!!

I could honestly go on forever about how much I love this game. It's hard to verbalize everything, but I think it just has so many aspects that I like in media. I love playing from the pov of an awful man completely breaking down psychologically. I love exploring the dynamic of an awful person being absolutely obsessed with somebody. I love when those awful people are relatable and remind us that sometimes the real monsters are people. I love cannibalism as a metaphor. I love strong casts of characters with distinct characterizations that bely their own deeper complexities. I love symbolic imagery! I just really enjoy the whole package LOL, psychological horror is one of my favorite genres, so finding one that really clicks with me like this gives me a huge creative boost! Not to mention curly as a character in his entirety... just looking at side by sides of him pre and post crash would make me emotional, that's how I was in deep...

It makes me really happy that my work could contribute to improving your impression of the game!! I think it's a really high honor as an artist to be able to convey my passion for something in that way, especially since sometimes I have trouble putting it to words. But obviously I could yap for ages about 100 different things in this game LMAO. So thank you for your ask!! Hopefully you don't mind my wall of text :'D

Though I totally get what you mean with the gameplay, I got lost in the blind horse maze for WAY too long my first playthrough, I struggle with the Swansea "fight" every time, and in my quest to get all of the achievements I could not get that any% glitched achievement for the life of me... This is also not the type of game/story I really get into ocs for, but I think it's great that people have so much creativity and fun with MW ocs!! I think this game is great at leaving just enough to the imagination, which makes it great for people to make their own Pony Express related characters.

Here's that silly picmix I made for my server, as promised!

HAGKLSDJF THIS IS BEAUTIFUL!!! I love it.... thank you so much for sharing

[aetherlite]

is it alright if i use your sunday art as my pfp on discord?

This is probably quite a old ask haha but go for it!

[aetherlite]

Peace be upon you. I don't know how to tell you, but I really have never extended my hand to anyone in my entire life, but the war has left us with no money, and my father was seriously injured for the second time, and they can no longer provide for us or work. My big brother was martyred, and we no longer have anyone to help us. Just help us, even with a euro, because it would really help me and I would be grateful to you. The occupation burned our house and our car, and they have left us with nothing in this life. I no longer aspire to collect money to complete my education in medicine because the amount is large, but all I want is to treat my father so that I do not lose him as I lost my brother. Please put yourself in my place as you see the dearest people to you die. Thank you for listening to my story. I hope you do not ignore my feelings.

Hi 👋

Do you care if I use your Jimcurly smoking picture for a meme? I make those cheesy, old internet looking gifs in Pic mix. It's an ongoing bit on a discord server I'm in- so it won't be going on any socials, otherwise.

LOL that sounds so fun, for something like that between friends I don't mind at all! Though I would admittedly be curious to see for myself if you do make it hehe

[aetherlite]

hey! i was just curious to know if you still do commissions! your art is so beautiful :)

Hello hello! That's so sweet, thank you so much 😭 They're closed for the time being and I'm not positive when I'd have time to do them again, but I have a page here for commissions - if you want to give me a follow it should notify you when I open them! I would also make a post about it. Thank you very much for the interest! :D

[aetherlite]

do you have an estimate for when your shop will reopen I wanna buy things from you so bad

That's so sweet, thank you so much 😭 I'm not entirely sure because admittedly I've been pretty burnt out, and Dark Outside Forces (life and work lol) have kept me busy. But I love making things so I will reopen it eventually, perhaps in a month or two! I'll make a post about it here and on twitter when I do, thank you again for your interest ;v;
