And if time's elimination then we got nothing to lose
Some more BP/non-RAD asks!
I HAD TO CUT THIS POST SHORT BECAUSE IT EXCEEDED 30 SCREENSHOTS/IMAGES
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Oh I love food related questions they're just so fun to consider haha. I've done something like this with other desserts but not ice cream, so here are some either "signature" or "vibe" flavours:
Izm: Mint Choc Chip (invigorating/refreshing, somewhat confusing)
.D: Fresh Strawberry (tart with an underlying sweetness)
Tumblr media
Zeke: Butter Pecan (warm and "homey")
Wei Ren: Lychee (subtle and smart; rounded in many notes)
Tumblr media
Marcus: Vanilla (simple and unobtrusive. Easily fits with anything)
Rire: Lavender Earl Grey, OR Black Sesame (considered mature/sophisticated flavour profiles. Also one contains tea so...)
Tumblr media
Eid: Mango coconut (natural sweetness)
Desmond: Rainbow (looks crazy and like it contains 15 different chemicals)
Tumblr media
Caleb: Matcha (polarising. Also I'm one of those people that can only taste the bitterness in green tea and get no other flavour nuance so there's that |D)
Isla: Chocolate (either double or dark for the richer profile - comforting and popular)
Grimshaw: Cherry Amaretto (sharp, tangy and lightly bitter/boozy)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Oh they don't create portals; the power gives them the ability to traverse naturally existing ones. It is a rare "randomly generated" cross-demon species power (ie any individual demon could be born with it), with the exception of soul-stealer species like Rire's who are 100% always born with it.
That doesn't mean they all inherently know how to use it though and like any skill it needs to be learnt, which in itself is pretty dangerous and few undertake it on purpose. Rire got kind of scary good at navigating the Gates which is an open secret in the Nether.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Oh thank you! 🥰 Simply put, the core friend group is .D, Izm, Zeke, Ren and Marcus who start off as strangers to found family. Antagonists include Rire and Caleb and a few others that crop up.
Eid, Mu and Grimshaw are in a different plotline that technically runs at the same time. But it would be a different "book" to the main BP story and something I'm considering drawing after the "end" of the main story. Which is terrible because i'm already theorising about it now |D
Tumblr media
You'll just have to read it when it comes out to find out hmm!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
DHJGBDHJGBDHG OK I HAD TO TAKE THIS ONE OUT OF MY INBOX COS IT WAS FRICKING HILARIOUS XD
Tumblr media
I'll just use the main BP characs for this one!
.D: Thaumiel lol do you see what i did there
Izm: Keter
Zeke: Euclid
Wei Ren: Euclid (or Archon)
Marcus: Euclid (Safe) Listen if you applied the box test with Marcus he's not getting out on his own but he will have everyone else breaking him out.
Rire: Keter
Was sorely tempted to make Rire an Apollyon but by himself he's not dangerous enough to be in that category so I'm being realistic here lol.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And here's a nicer one lol
Tumblr media Tumblr media
My listening of Gorillaz songs was limited to very specific songs / time period so these are from the ones i'm familiar with XD
.D: Dirty Harry
Izm: Feel Good Inc. / Demon Days
Zeke: 19-2000 (radio remix)
Wei Ren: Clint Eastwood
Marcus: On Melancholy Hill
Rire: DARE
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I would love to make another game but it would be vastly different to a VN lol. In fact i did have an idea for a random one ages ago that i might do one day 🤔 in like the yr 3000 maybe
HH is not lost media, they're just one shot comics mostly about the HH version interactions/relationships/a mood so there's technically no storyline to them XD "Technically" because if you noticed some "common points" in some of the one shots it pointed to a storyline forming in the bg but i never actually developed it for people to read properly lol.
As for BP, well...
Tumblr media
🎉 I FINALLY STARTED ACTUALLY DRAWING IT LMAO HALLELUJAH FINALLY. Haven't posted them anywhere yet though. Creating a bit of a buffer first ~
Tumblr media
Thanks! ^^ The demon and human cultures in BP are pretty separated from each other, so the demons in the Nether don't/cant (though some might bring back ideas) whereas the demons that live on/can visit Earth do. Also yes there are some elements of our world in there, though maybe slightly diff like how in anime you can find WcDonalds lol.
Tumblr media
Yes...and no lol. I will explain what i mean by this at some point in the story but it's not actually important to the story tbh.
Skipping this question because it can't be answered in the context of BP due to (1) XD Also BROOO you'll just have to read the comic whenever it comes out to see what happens XDD
I've been good thanks! Though i feel like i have been losing track of time a lot more recently, like where the heck are all these days going?! I blink and it's been a month. I'm pretty sure i've said this exact same thing word for word somewhere else 😩 help
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Aw Anon, I hope this can also make you smile! :D
Context: set in the villain dad!AU i have with some friends XD Grimshaw is texting Cortez (friend's charac) who is the melodramatic father of Eid's bestie Mu (other friend's charac). Cortez does not like Grimshaw and they are always low key fighting with each other, but Grimshaw gets along well with the rest of Cortez's family much to the latter's chagrin.
Tumblr media
I mean, wouldnt this just be them in like their school uniforms? XD
Tumblr media
I look like this but less cute lol
Tumblr media
You may but please remember to credit me for them :) Also i think it goes without saying that you can't like...make adoptables or whatever out of them.

❗️For commonly asked qs please see my BTD FAQ
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I drew Demon Strade from memory and have absolutely 0 recollection how big he actually is lmao. Side note the subtitle for this in my head was "it's dangerous to go alone take this" except its not Strade saying it XDD)
Tumblr media
Rire will put someone into any position he feels like (because honestly manoeuvrability is not a problem for him) so lets just say...a lot of them.
Tumblr media
Would you even be able to reach his head lol
Tumblr media
I would say that he mostly travels (as sometimes it also depends on who/what he's collecting and whether anyone is technically looking for him - ie did someone murder these people wth?). Keep in mind that one of Rire's powers is that he can, essentially, step sideways into a Gate in one country, navigate a void space for a few minutes/seconds, and then exit from another Gate somewhere in another country lol.
Tumblr media
There's a bunch of different AUs/verses (because i like sticking my characs in them for fun) where he's technically an "ordinary guy" and to answer your question in ever single one of them he is in some position of power :d Eg: Headmaster, mafia boss, compound leader in a zombie apoc, high ranking military official, rich and popular college kid (this one somewhat debatable as BTD!College AU doesnt specify whether Rire is actually human or not XD) etc.
Tumblr media
What has Saturn ever done for me? 🤌🏻
Check the bottom of this one :d
Tumblr media
Every single Royal in the Nether is considered a dictator and Rire is no exception. His subjects consider him one of the more preferable ones because a) kind of leaves them alone for the most part, b) if he is inflicting terror on them/someone it's usually for a reason (as far as they know) and c) the economy has been doing great since he came into power.
Tumblr media
You can consider Rire more of an...acquirer. Meaning that if he can't do something, he has an extensive network of people who owe him a favour or several that might be able to. Also loopholes exist hahahahah
If he's not exchanging for your soul, he's folding you into this network, that's how he works.
Tumblr media
Rire's ego is not so big that he wouldn't be calculatively thinking about how best to exploit this |D
Tumblr media
Oh yeh he def has servants to do a bunch of stuff for him! However, he has only been a Royal for a relatively short amount of time so he does actually know how to cook etc by himself if required.
Tumblr media
Not a game but he will be plot B in a comic. As for being inserted into YKMET lore that's up to Gato XD
Tumblr media
Warm tone gold type colours
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Nah he heals pretty well. Also I feel like if he did get a serious enough wound that looked like it was going to scar then he'd use some sort of medical cream or whatever to make sure it didnt.
Tumblr media
He'd be a little shit and vague about it ("oh somewhere quite far from here"), and if people keep trying to guess would literally give his Sector name from the Nether and later agree that it's in one of the random countries that were being guessed. Ah but so well hidden you won't be able to find it on a map, sure, try if you want.
Anon even i don't know in what context you are using this word lol.
Tumblr media
The sense factor for this essentially 🫲🏻"is a demon (and a feeling of how powerful they might be)" and 🫱🏻 "is not a demon" which usually means a human lol. For your qs case, maybe only if said human was exceptionally powerful (so that the oddness registered as something "off" human) OR if they were using said power at the time (as happens with Battle Priests).
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I haven't thought about a lot of things and i can clinically say that's one of them lol.

Pick up the receiver I'll make you a believer
❗️For commonly asked qs please see my BTD FAQ
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
After doodling the first image that hug body slam meme immediately came to mind and i couldn't help myself 😂
Tumblr media
Thanks very much I'm glad you are enjoying my art and characs! :D
To put the answer simply, Rire used to work for the prior King as a Collector (of souls) and he was that King's only Collector and so got the brunt of his ire for any related, perceived fault. Aside from that personal connection Rire also really disliked him because he viewed the prior king as a useless glutton who failed at ruling a sector (conditions were tanking/had tanked for ages), and which the Royal powers were wasted on.
Tumblr media
Almost all of his sunglasses are actually normal human sunglasses, he can just see better than a human can 😎
Tumblr media
Anything can be a kink, anon :d
Boring victims are often exceptionally weak-willed victims so that's something in particular he dislikes.
Tumblr media
Yes he can play the piano and violin, and horseback ride and ballroom dance etc. Put it this way he has a lot of particular small skills that he picked up during his Earth visits so he could hide in plain sight with the upper echelons XD
Tumblr media
Not like how a snake or cat hisses which is what I'm assuming you're implying XDDD He can't bite off a limb (his mouth ain't that big) but his teeth are very sharp so he can feasibly take a chunk out of someone or like, completely bite off something smaller (finger, ear...)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I havent added to it in a while (since I dont often find songs I like enough to actually download lol) but this is my current playlist for him in no particular order:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Anon, the fact you capitalised "Aliens" made me think of Xenomorphs and I had to immediately stop thinking 🤣
On a side note, I can't actually tell you either way because he hasn't encountered an alien (that isn't a demon or a human) lol. He'd probably initially treat an alien much like he would treat a common demon, if they are obviously not human, and then if he realises they are also not quite a demon this could peak his interest.
Tumblr media
Pointing you in this direction because regardless of the canon answer this proves he could look good in one LMAO
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Sorry to burst your bubble but no :d Though I suppose he could simulate the effect by reverting parts of them to their "liquid" state 🤔 DO WITH THAT INFO WHAT YOU WILL.
Tumblr media
It is theoretically similar to a human's.
Tumblr media
If you can remember his age then that is how old he is :d I'm not really like other creators who give their characs a definitive "birthday" down to the year, mainly because I don't often have set "time periods" in my stories lol.
His birth date falls somewhere between late October - late November though.
Tumblr media
In the context of BTD; they just don't like each other XD Well I can't actually speak for Cain, but Rire not liking Cain is partly a riff on general angel/demon rivalry dynamics, and partly because Rire would see Cain as more of a threat since canonically Cain is way more OP than him.
Most of the time when i draw them Cain is also actively getting in Rire's space whilst Rire is actively trying to avoid him, so there's also that XD
Tumblr media
It...depends. On which aspect of "ownership" you're implying. For those that he has deals with, he'd calculate what exactly the value of the deal lost would be and in this situation he'd likely write them off as Cain would be more annoying to handle then they'd be worth (he can always make more deals).
If someone was specifically marked by Rire, that's a different level of possessiveness and he'd actually try cos like
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Hey guys some offence but why are some of you sending me asks formatted as if i were ChatGPT
Tumblr media
Is there one for like, personal ambition or cunning or something cos I don't think he'd be any of those listed lol.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Rire doesn't have a mobile phone and he doesn't need one because he has a demon power that basically CCTVs all his citizens to himself. And really, if he wants to find you he'll find you.
He's somewhere in the middle of that scale through the sheer fact that he's been around long enough to see technology change and would've kept up with how to use things to blend in better, but also doesn't need to use the electronics to the point that he'd need to be an expert at it.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Is this cos Gato is Canadian cos I don't remember a country location being specified when we did it? |D Personally I figured most of the settings were in the US since the US has the most documented serial killers
Also sos no i dont anon, you'll need to either ask Gato or EP or dig through any of their lore posts they might have left.
Tumblr media
Think kind of like Rire (he did learn a lot from her after all), but with a more Elizabethan era socialite vibe. Possibly a black widow but we dont have any proof about that.
Has/had a p good relationship. I use both terms because I still never decided whether she was currently dead or not lol.
Lol a misconception but Rire doesn't actually perceive humans as trash XD Trash suggests that he hates them and they wouldn't be worth regarding at all, whereas Rire usually finds them more like...novelties. Or like whatever that feeling that is associated with viewing ant farms or animals performing tricks is. Rire's mother would view them as more like working animals or livestock.

For the Last Time...
Time will pass and you'll forget everything that happened
With you and me, with you and me
No, I'm not waiting for you, but know that I loved
For the last time
For the last time
full song ^^^
I've finally finished this little animation, but I'm so proud of myself...When I first saw this tik tok trend, I thought, "I have to do this with D. and Izm."
The inspiration was that Darqx comic where events unfold after the murder of one of the boys
or rather, this piece
Tumblr media
I will be glad to receive your reposts and likes ♡
