Late night Ortho doodle

I decided to follow a YouTube tutorial, on how to make a drawing look like it's watercolor in IbisPaint. If anybody wants I can drop the tutorial in the comments. Also I have a scheduled post for June 25th at 12:25 PM (EST), and it's a drawing of Jack (^▽^)

"Aww look a puppy!"

I decided to draw my Yuusona, July, for Stitch's Tropical Turbulence event (^▽^)

It takes courage to grow up, and become who you really are - E.E. Cummings

I choose that quote because I felt like it fit Deuce the most! Once a delinquent now a student who's trying his best to be on the honor roll (^▽^)

A little bit more about the art, and reference below the cut:

I chose to make him hold a chicken because in Book 1 he does talk about chicken eggs. Also I wanted it to be a bird hatching out of its shell to represent new beginnings.

I even made the top of the shell blue, since Deuce used to have blue roots when he was a delinquent and his hair was blonde.

I hope this is not offensive to Catholic culture at all, I just thought this would be a funny idea because of a poll I saw asking if Crona should have been the next pope instead.

Happy birthday to Epel!

I decided to draw him on a motorcycle because he would totally want to ride one. And if you ride a motorcycle, or bike please remember to wear a helmet! (^▽^)

Backstory:

Backstory sections: Before NRC, Getting sent to NRC, and then how July feels about the twst universe.

(After the backstory stuff, I'll talk about July's Design)

Before NRC: July was originally supposed to be born in late June, and because of this her mom was going to name her June. But as you can see by her birthday, she was born in July instead. Her mom was pretty mad about this, and when July was finally born, her mom just named her July because she didn't want to think of another name.

July's mom especially didn't like July after she was born because July was born with heterochromia, and so her mom had to go to a few different doctors to make sure nothing was wrong with July's eyes. Everything was fine though, and the heterochromia wasn't dangerous at all.

Through July's childhood she wasn't really a social kid, and would avoid social interaction whenever she could. She liked playing with dolls, and stuffed animals by herself rather than with people. This anti social behavior would follow her into high school, and she would often times ditch school to watch, and film wild life. Which overtime she developed a love for.

However due to July's constant skipping when she first started high school, her mom decided to "homeschool" her, which was basically just letting July outside of the house all day, and keeping her out until it was sundown. This was because July's mom didn't feel like July was smart enough for college, and July's mom didn't really care about her. The only reason July's mom homeschooled July, instead of just letting her skip school, is because July's mom didn't want to deal with CPS.

July doesn't have any siblings. She has a mom who stays home, and a dad who works all the time. The most July's mom does for her is cook dinner, and do her laundry. Pretty much everything else July has to do herself, like dying her hair. July let's her hair grow for a few months, and then dyes the places where her natural hair color is showing. This meant a lot of the time July would have faded color on her ends, and bright color where her hair had grown out.

Getting sent to NRC: July walked down a trail that was near her house, trees lined the trail, and there was wildlife everywhere. July observed them, and took pictures as she walked along the trail. Eventually, the trail ended, and there was a park. July stayed there for a while. Cars passed by on the road near the park while July was swinging on a swing set, and sliding down the playground slides that were way too small for her. When the sun started setting, she realized she should hurry home. But that's when she saw a crow, the way the setting sun hit its feathers was perfect, it revealed the undertones of purple and a light blue of the crow's feathers. When July pulled out her camera to take a picture, the crow fluttered it's wings, and the picture wasn't flattering.

The crow then started hoping away, but July was determined to get a picture of this crow because once the crow stopped, it was at a perfect angle again. July got a little closer, but the same thing kept happening. It wasn't until July was in the middle of the road, that she was able to take a picture of the crow. She was so happy with how the picture turned out, she didn't even realize she was standing in the middle of the road, or the horse-drawn carriage running towards her.

How July feels about the twst universe: Sometimes she wishes she could just go home. At home she doesn't have to deal with overblots, talking to new people, and getting good grades in school. But sometimes she likes how magical everything is, how things like beastmen, fae, and humans can exist in the same universe, and even the fact that humans can communicate with animals in this world. She's conflicted on whether she wants to go back home or not, and it really bums her out when it's brought up, especially after the prologue when she becomes kind of friends with Ace, Deuce, and Grim.

(Sorry for my bad story telling skills, I'm not very good at writing in the third person (⸝⸝๑﹏๑⸝⸝) )

Design:

You might be wondering if I based July off of a Disney character, and honestly, no, I didn't have one in mind. I kind of just based the personality, and interests on the mc in the game. In twst Yuu doesn't talk much, and their dialog options really don't affect the story much, so I just decided "Maybe Yuu doesn't like to talk to others." And then the whole pictures thing is because the mc in twst has a camera, and does take pictures with it.

As for the poetry part, I just did that because it was an artsy thing, and I felt like it fit in there. Also with history of magic being the best subject, instead of animal languages is because I just feel like my Yuu would have a hard time picking up on the animal languages. This because of her unwillingness to talk in many situations. Also my Yuu is in the film studies club because she's a good with cameras, and I don't think she has to be in the same club as Grim ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

With her physical design, I made her have fire hair. I felt like it was pretty cool. I also thought it would be funny if people kept asking her if she was related to the Shrouds at all, or just assumed it, only to later find out there's literally no connection. Also how ironic would it be if Yuu had a magic feature to them, but they're literally just a non magic human?

Though, I will say her design is a little based on Crona from Soul Eater:

Crona is the reason she has heterochromia, well the reason I designed her that way. While Crona doesn't have heterochromia, their eye color switches from black to blue sometimes, so when I was making my Yuu I was like "🎵 You get the best of both worlds🎵" But instead of a black eye I gave her a brown eye.

Also their skin tone came out...not the way I wanted it, but I'll keep it if enough people like how it is right now. I used a more grey skin color pallette, and not my usual skin color pallette. So in the future I will probably not use that pallette again, unless it's for the Halloween Skully event, or something like that.

Oh also, if you noticed on the top of July's head there's a little face:

Originally, I put this in my sketch because I was trying to figure out how flame hair worked, and if there would be particles in there. Then I realized I was thinking of a lava lamp, but I liked the little face, so I'm keeping it.

And before I stop my yapping, I wanted to say in Japanese July is just "The seventh month" and so I made July's birthday the 7th because I decided she would be born on the 7th month. Also I chose July as her name because I didn't know what gender she was going to be at first, and it was gender natural. July is only a girl because I put genders on a wheel, and it chose girl.

Thank you for listening to me talk about my Yuusona, please feel free to ask any questions (˶ˆᗜˆ˵)

[purplefirepit]

Noticed you are active again.

How are you doing, mootie :D ?

Hey Roi :D, I'm sorry I haven't been too active on tumblr recently. I've been trying to put my time into a Yuusona (I pretty much have the design down), other than that I've been okay (˶ˆᗜˆ˵). I live in America, and it's getting scary over here to say the least. I hope you are doing well! ^^

Vil's Day Off (˶ˆᗜˆ˵)

Since it's Vil's birthday soon, I decided to draw him having a free day, and going to a café! And don't worry, the drink he's drinking isn't poison, it's just a drink inspired by the Evil Queen's potion for the poison apple (^▽^)

Alt version of him wearing glasses below the cut:

A while back I saw someone's headcanon that Vil does need glasses, but he wears contacts instead. Personally, I liked that headcanon, so I decided to put glasses on him ^^

Happy St. Sebek Day!

I know St. Patrick was a real person, but I thought it would be fun to combine the holiday and Sebek's name together (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶)

[purplefirepit]

I sent that ask about Malleus's treatment being unfair and now that it's over I'm going to make my point more clear, since it seems it wasn't last time.

Malleus's crimes:

-Putting people to sleep on a wide scale

-Less injuries that a *sports* tournament (according to Epel)

The other overblots' crimes:

-Attempted murder, including targeted murder and wiping out *all life* (aka murder on a wide scale)

Malleus's consequences:

-Accidentally killed his own father

-Physically maimed

-Magically disabled

-Losing the entire foundation of who he is and having to rebuild his identity from scratch

-The trauma of his actions

The other overblots' consequences:

-Riddle was socially shunned for a while (and even this is shown mostly in other media, not the game)

-The trauma of their actions

Meanwhile the other overblots say that Malleus deserves further punishment (to which Crowley thankfully points out they have no right to speak) as does a fair chunk of the fanbase. How does this make any sense? Might I also add that the only ones who ever apologized for their actions are Riddle, Vil, and *Malleus.* So why is it that Malleus is seen as being so much worse than the others? Why is Malleus called a monster, a living disaster, and the enemy of mankind (all things said in canon) and nobody else has anything similar said about them? I'm not arguing that there shouldn't be consequences, I'm arguing that the scale of it does not align with twst's previous messaging and themes. Whether or not Malleus's consequences are fair in general is one thing, but in comparison with our previous standards it's wildly unfair. And yet people are still calling for more, and fans are being rude to Diasomnia fans about it. It simply doesn't add up.

As for Silver, nowhere did I say Silver should pay for his father's crimes. I said that his *father* never earned the right for his image to be restored because he stood idly by against what he thought was wrong. Silver shouldn't have to be used to restore his *father's* image, when that image doesn't align with who Silver is.

Dear Anon,

I was writing a well thought out and sincere response essay to your initial take, but since you're back and doubling down I'm just going to tell you why you're wrong.

WARNING: The following response is pretty rude. Malleus gets everything he had coming to him and here's why. . .

No, really.

This is going to sound "mean."

You didn't even bother to address the questions I presented in my previous response.

You aren't going to like this.

Stop scrolling. . .

WHAT PART OF, "MALLEUS DRACONIA IS CAUSING A WORLD-ENDING MAGICAL CATASTROPHY," DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND?????

The story established that PEOPLE WOULD DIE if the spell wasn't broken. Malleus had absolutely no intention of stopping what he was doing. He didn't stop at just Lilia, or the party, or the school, or even stop at Sage's Island. He was going to curse the whole of Twisted Wonderland. If he wasn't stopped by force EVERYONE WOULD HAVE DIED, and you're trying to tell me that it's not as bad as Riddle (whose overblot never affected anyone outside of the unbirthday party), Leona, and Vil (who's rampages were contained to a sports stadium) because he "Wasn't trying to hurt anyone"? Because "No one actually ended up getting hurt"?No. I'm not going to feel bad about the sentient manifestation of a mass extinction event being referred to as, "The enemy of humanity." If something or someone is threatening the entire population of the world (including beastmen, merfolk, and other fae) then he is in fact an enemy of everyone under threat, REGARDLESS OF WHAT HIS INTENTIONS ARE. You ever hear "The road to hell is paved with good intentions"? Yeah. That. Malleus didn't want to kill people, but that's effectively what he was doing and ignoring that fact is blatantly irresponsible. On a better day? Everyone's fear of Malleus is largely misplaced and of course calling him an enemy of humanity would be inherently prejudiced and way out of line. BUT THAT WAS NOT THE SITUATION AT THE TIME AND YOU ARE IGNORING THE THREAT HE VERY MUCH POSED IN FAVOR OF BABYING HIM OVER HIS INTENTIONS!

Let's recap here: MULTIPLE PEOPLE TRIED TO TALK MALLEUS DOWN AND GET HIM TO STOP OF HIS OWN ACCORD. Pray tell, dear Anon, what should they have done after that? You want to compare overblots? Let's compare overblots.

Every prior overblot in this story has been resolved by every nearby available person beating the ever loving snot out of the guilty party until it was over. As a result, five out of six previous overblots were ended within an hour of them occurring. Idia at the time was an exception and had been overblotted for several hours by the time he was knocked back to his senses. In the case of the Tartarus crisis, they even used STYX most powerful anti-blot weapons (the thunder spears) to attack the Shroud brothers because it was necessary to use potentially lethal force to stop the phantoms from breaking out of the facility and effectively save the world. THEY DID WHAT THEY HAD TO DO AND THEY DID NOT HOLD BACK! THEY DID NOT KNOW IF THEY COULD SAVE IDIA! In this way, Malleus is being treated EXACTLY like the other overblotters. When Malleus Draconia overblots, they tried the usual tactics. They tried to collectively overpower him at the farewell party and no one could touch him. Everyone was helpless to stop him. They all fell to his magic quick as winking. Malleus Draconia has TERRIFYING AMOUNTS OF MAGIC. So when he won't listen to reason, WHAT IN THE NINE HELLS ARE THEY SUPPOSE TO DO TO STOP HIM FROM ENDING LIFE ON THE PLANET AS THEY KNOW IT?

. . .

I know.

How about something they've been doing since the start of the story?

TAKE AWAY HIS MAGIC!

You know, what Riddle's signature spell does? What he did to Grim in the prologue? What he did to Leona when confronting him about the sports sabotage? Remember how in order to STOP RIDDLE FROM KILLING PEOPLE Trey overwrote his signature spell so that they would stand a fighting chance? Remember when the previous overblotters (and Grim) were immediately dressed in anti-magic collars to avoid issues when they were brought to STYX to be vetted? It's almost like we established that this is a thing people do in Twisted Wonderland do to handle magical emergencies.

Truly and honestly, what are you supposed to do when one of the five most powerful mages in the world poses a threat to your very existence and those you love? Try talking him down AGAIN? It makes complete and total sense to try and make Malleus weaker. How are they supposed to fight and beat him to stop the world as they know it from ending when he has access to the UNHOLY AMOUNTS OF MAGIC that they have repeatedly established he has? That they have been bested by repeatedly. NO ONE IN ON OR OFF OF SAGE'S ISLAND HAD BEEN ABLE TO TOUCH HIM OR DO ANYTHING AGAINST HIS POWER FOR DAYS! HE HAS BEEN OVERBLOTTING FOR DAYS WITHOUT A STOP TO HIS EXPANDING SPHERE OF INFLUENCE ENVELOPING THE WORLD! Cutting off his horns was a perfectly valid step to take because THEY QUITE LITERALLY HAD NO OTHER OPTIONS!

As for leaving him dismembered and disabled. . .

First off, let's remember that I just pointed out that the fate of the world was resting on that decision, and they had no other choice.

Secondly. . .

You have got to be kidding me.

Are you really comparing Malleus losing a PIECE of ONE of his horns to someone losing a limb? It's not even like losing your pinky finger! It's maybe sorta kinda like getting a nail torn out. HIS HORN WILL GROW BACK.

"But magic is second nature to fae so it IS like losing a__"

Shut up. No it's not.

He can still use magic. HE IS NOT DISABLED!

Oh no! One of the top five most powerful mages on the planet can't casually use magic to deal with every element of his daily life and fix every minor inconvenience he's presented with anymore. He might have to struggle to do things now. WHAT EVER WILL POOR MALLEUS DO NOW THAT HE'S NOT EXPONENTIALLY MORE POWERFUL THAN ALL HIS PEERS AND TEACHERS!? I GUESS HE'LL JUST HAVE TO GO TO SCHOOL LIKE EVERYONE ELSE! HOW DARE HE BE HUMANIZED! HOW DARE THIS PRECIOUS TRAUMATIZED MAGESTIC PRINCELY OVERPOWERED DRAGON IN HUMAN FORM BE FORCED TO LIVE LIKE THE COMMON FOLK!

I guess he'll just have to learn to see things through the eyes of his peers and have a new perspective on life he wasn't privvy to previously now that magic isn't something he can fling around casually. Seriously. How dare Malleus be given character development potential when none of the other overblotters were treated like this. IT'S SSOOOOOO UNFAAAAAAIIIRRRRRRR!!!1!1!1!1!!

Oh yeah, do you want to keep comparing him to the other overblotters? Because with how much of his horn he lost, he's about as disfigured as Leona. You know. The guy with the scar? Malleus has a scar now, however, unlike Leona's, Malleus' scar will disappear.

Have I mentioned how Riddle was in the same boat of abusing his power because he thought he was doing "the right thing" because he was also traumatized as a child? Riddle is so weak by comparison and caused so little a comparative fuss that a punch to the face and getting hassled by his dormmates is justice by TWST standards (we all know this is a writng problem for this game in general, right?). And you REALLY don't want me to mention how every other person who overblotted acted out of their minds with rage and pent up emotions as they did violent things that they ordinarily wouldn't consider while Malleus was oddly lucid and could actually consider being talked to while he cursed the world. Malleus was destroying the world and in enough of his right mind to consider stopping. But no, Malleus is the one being treated unfairly.

Dear Anon, Malleus Draconia has always been an extreme character. He's always been extremely powerful and used his magic flippantly with little regard for how others feel about it. His overblot caused an extreme situation that the rest of the cast was forced to take extreme measures to deal with. Him being treated "differently" from all of the other overblotters is DIRCTLY PROPORTIONAL TO THE DANGER HE POSED. On the extreme scale Malleus is working on, he is certainly not worse off than any other previous chapters' final bosses. So, no, I don't care that people called him mean names when he was slowly destroying the world. I don't care that his magic was "nerfed" and now he has to come down off his high horse and live a little like everyone else now. And I really don't care that fans are asking for more justice to be done JUST LIKE THEY DO WITH EVERY OTHER OVERBLOTTER WHO GOT OFF WITH A SLAP ON THE WRIST! WE DEMAND MORE FROM ALL OF THEM! Malleus is NOT an exception.

"Thank you for your take."

And yes, saying that Silver should not have his heroic moment as a knight in shining armor because that armor was worn when committing war crimes IS devaluing Silver based on his father's sins. Being a knight in shining armor is completely in character for Silver (AS A FREAKING DISNEY PRINCESS), and the fact that he is doing a good thing is meant to CONTRAST with his father who did bad things, NOT absolve said father of wrongdoing. The same tool that was once used for evil is now being used for good. IT'S POETIC!

its international women's day, and i don't know much about your twst oc, who is a positive feminine role model in their life and how is their relationship to that person?

Happy International Women's Day! And thank you for the ask :D

So, I will be honest. I have not read all of Book 7 (◞ ‸ ◟ㆀ), when it came out, I read up to Malleus's overblot, and have not been keeping up with the updates. I say this, since my oc, Sora, is from Briar Valley. So I apologize in advance for any lore inaccuracies (^▽^)

I would say a positive feminine role model in Sora's life is his mom. I know that is a very generic answer, but (TW: Death) after Sora's dad died, his mom had to work hard while raising him, so he's always admired her for how she's able to balance her social life and work life.

Right now, Sora and his mom have a good relationship. There's been rough patches in the past, but they've been able to kind of smooth things out! ^^

[purplefirepit]

Shit post, but happy birthday to my oc Sora

Because of life, and I went through/probably still am going through an art crisis, I did not draw Sora having a birthday card/event :/. But I am working on something for Sebek's birthday/St. Patrick's day, so if that sounds interesting please look out for that in the future (^▽^)

[purplefirepit]

I made a short comic on why Sora (my oc) didn't participate in VDC, I hope you enjoy it (˶ˆᗜˆ˵)

How it's supposed to be read:

( ˶°ㅁ°) !! Malleus Draconia in the woods with a bouquet of flowers? Who are they for??

(Also yes, I did take the background from twst, but I did make the fireflies)

Different versions of shading below, and announcements for this blog below the cut

I didn't like these ones as much, but I'm sure someone does ^^

Announcement: I will be making a masterlist for my blog! However, I will most likely not put the polls I've made on my blog on the masterlist. That's all! Have a good morning, evening, or night (˶ˆᗜˆ˵)
