Mr Steve and The Monster Hunter

It's finally there, time to post my fic for @bigbangharringrove (thank you mods for all your work for this event!)

I've been working so hard on this one... I even did some doodles of a couple of scenes from it (I might post them once I've posted all 6 chapters).

Art by @adelacreations (so very excited about this!!).

I want to thank @ihni for Olivia’s name, @spaceofentropy for noticing I'd forgotten about Will (oops!) and @akioukun for Cindy’s name

Also on Ao3

Steve gets the surprise of his life when one of his students gets picked up by her father. A man who Steve thought had died on the dirty floor of Starcourt Mall fifteen years ago.  Billy Hargrove is alive... and a dad. He runs a security company called HellGrove and he hunts monsters in the Upside Down for a living.  When Billy opens a portal into the Upside Down in Robin and Heather’s backyard, Steve follows because he wants answers.

Chapter 1 - Mr Steve isn't a boy

Steve is looking forward to the weekend after a long week teaching six-year-olds. Having the school trip to the zoo the same week as the talent show is not something he’s keen to do again in a hurry and he let his principal know as much. 

He smiles as the last of the kids rush past him, waving him goodbye as they squeeze in the doorway before running down the hallway towards the exit, a spring in their step. He notices Olivia is still in the classroom and he walks over to her desk.

“Everything okay, Olivia?” he asks as she shoves the last of her drawings in her backpack. He reminds himself for the hundredth time to ask Robin where she found the Hawkins Lifeguard backpack because he didn’t know such an item existed and he was a lifeguard at Hawkins Community Pool for a few summers, both while he was in high school, and after, during summer breaks from university.

He knows he isn’t supposed to have favorites but Robin and Heather’s daughter is one of the brightest students he’d had in his ten years of teaching elementary school and she is extremely funny to boot, at a level that her classmates usually don’t get.

“Yep, Mr Steve, I’m spending the weekend with my dad so I want to show him all my work.”

“Your dad?” Steve asks, confused. As far as he knows, the little girl only has her two mums. Of course, Steve figures there has to have been a man involved in the process, he did pay some attention in biology class, but he never asked. Heather still scares him a little and he isn’t as close to Robin as they were fifteen years ago.

Nope, not thinking about it.

“Yes, he works a lot all over the country so I don’t see him very much.”

“Then I bet you’re very excited to see him!” 

“I haven’t seen him since Christmas, he’s very busy but he rings me when he can,” Olivia says matter-of-factly as she closes her bag. 

“That’s nice,” Steve says, smiling even though he thinks two months is a long time without seeing your child, not that he has any of his own.

“He lives in California, you know,” she adds as she starts walking to the door. 

Steve follows a few steps behind, in a daze, her words unleashing the memories of loud metal, leather and cigarettes, and a blue Camaro.

Nope, not thinking about him.

He watches Olivia step out of the classroom and turns towards the mess he still has to clean before he can go home when the voice coming from the adjoining hallway stops him in his tracks.

“Hey, princess!”

It can’t be. But that voice… He’s heard it before, and those words…

Shaking like a leaf, Steve turns towards the open doorway and takes the three steps that separate him from the owner of the voice.

It isn’t possible. Billy Hargrove is dead, Steve reminds himself. He died at Starcourt Mall fifteen years ago, in what remains the scariest night of Steve’s life. This is just his brain playing tricks on him. 

He steps into the hallway and freezes. The shock of seeing Billy Hargrove, alive and in the flesh, dims Olivia’s gleeful screams.

He looks… Steve feels all the air leave his lungs. Billy looks fucking good for a dead guy. His hair is cut short, some golden curls on the top still, he looks broader in the shoulders, his muscles more defined than they were in high school, not that Steve is looking, but the guy is wearing a t-shirt that looks painted on, okay?

He is also sporting a scar across his left cheek that looks not too recent but doesn’t make him look any less handsome, as well as some gnarly looking, but silver, older, scars on his arms and Steve knows there would be matching ones on his sides and in the middle of his chest, where the Mind Flayer had hit him with its tentacles.

“Pretty boy?” The shock is evident in Billy’s voice. He clearly didn���t expect to see Steve either.

“Daddy, you’re silly. Mr Steve isn’t a boy, he’s my teacher!”

Billy clears his throat and looks down at his daughter. “I can see that, princess.”

Billy Hargrove has a daughter!! What. The. Fuck? 

“Billy. Long time no see.” 

“Mr Steve, you know my daddy?” Olivia is looking between the two of them, trying to work out the connection.

Billy crouches so he is level with Olivia. “Mr Steve went to school with me and your moms, Livi.” He looks around and picks up her cardigan from her hook. “Is that all your stuff?”

“Yes, Daddy. I gotted all the stuff in my bag to show you.”

“That’s great, princess. Can you wait here a minute while I have a super quick chat with Mr Steve?”

She nods. “Can I play the word game on your phone?”

“Sure thing.” 

Once Billy sorts Olivia with her game, he looks at Steve who is still hovering in the doorway and gestures towards the classroom. Steve nods and heads back inside, Billy a few steps behind him.

Steve stops when he reaches his desk, trying to compose himself. He hears Billy behind him and turns around.

“Robin never said—”

“You probably hav—”

They both stop at the same time and Steve knows he’s being awkward but he is not prepared for this. It’s not like he was friends with the guy back in high school, but Billy sacrificed his life to save them that day in1985 so for him to just show up like that is just… Steve doesn’t even know at this stage. He needs time to process. 

“Listen, I have to run, haven’t seen Livi in way too long and I want to make the best of it but if you want to talk, or like, I dunno, have questions for me, here’s my card. Call me.”

Billy pulls out his wallet and hands Steve a business card with a tentative smile. Steve takes it, trying to wrap his head around what just happened. He nods as Billy puts his wallet away.

“See you around, pretty boy.” Billy doesn’t wait for a reply and he heads out. 

Steve hears Olivia’s voice then the chatter moves further away as they walk towards the exit. 

He finally looks down at the card in his hand. It’s dark gray, almost black, with the letters HG in white in the middle. He flips it to find the same monogram on the left then his eyes read over the words, taking them in.

HellGrove Security Consultants

William H. Hargrove

CEO & Head of Security

Followed by a phone number and an email address.

What. 

The. 

Fuck?

***

It’s after midnight and Steve is lying on his bed, flipping Billy’s card over and over, the dim light of his bedside lamp catching on something in the corner of the card. It’s embossed in the same color so he didn’t really notice until now. He brings the card closer so he can have a proper look and…

It’s a demogorgon flower head. 

Motherfucker. 

He grabs his phone to call Robin but then remembers that they’re not really best friends anymore, besides it’s late and she’s a parent now. Olivia did say she was spending the weekend with her dad but Steve isn’t sure what the arrangement is. 

Billy Hargrove is alive and he’s a dad. 

More questions than answers and it’s making Steve want to scream. So he sends Robin a message, figuring that she can choose to reply if she’s awake. 

He hopes she does.

Steve: So I met Olivia’s dad at pick up today. 

Immediately the reply box shows three littles dots. Steve holds his breath for a bit but has to give up after a minute. Either Robin is typing a novel-length explanation or she is not sure what to say.

Robin: Surprise? <cringe emoji>

“Are you fucking kidding me?” Steve yells in the empty room, his frustration at boiling point. His phone dings again and he looks to see what else Robin had to say.

Robin: Come over for lunch tomorrow. We’ll talk.

Steve sends a brief text saying he’ll be there then puts his phone down and switches to his laptop, giving into the temptation to visit HellGrove.com.

The website mentions the usual stuff: the various services offered (most of which mean little to Steve), reviews from clients as well a page about the company and its staff. Steve keeps looking on the main page for the freaky flower and finally finds it, hidden on the Reviews page when his cursor hovers in the bottom left corner and HOLY FUCK!

There’s no photos of the Upside Down but the hand drawn illustration in the banner is enough for Steve to suppress a shudder at the memories. There are a handful of anonymous written accounts by survivors who were rescued by HellGrove and reports about unsuccessful rescue missions. The wording is vague but, to someone who’s experienced it first hand, it’s clear they’re talking about the Upside Down.

Steve goes back to the home page and clicks on Staff. His eyes immediately focus on the black and white photo of Billy. It must have been taken some time ago because the scar on his face is missing. 

The short bio tells Steve that William H. Hargrove joined the Marines at eighteen and left after six years to start his own security company. Steve scrolls down and he is surprised and a bit shocked to find out that Max, Lucas, Will and El also work for Billy. And some guy named Argyle, who apparently has no last name.

He vaguely remembers Dustin mentioning that Lucas got a job in California after college and he knew El and the Byers already lived over there. He feels bad when he realizes he hasn’t thought about Max in years. He ponders reaching out to Dustin but that would open a can of worms and even more questions.

He closes his laptop and dumps it on the other side of the bed and settles on his side to go to sleep.

The feeling of an arm around his waist pulls Steve from his slumber. He gasps when he realizes there’s a (warm!) body behind him, the owner of which is dragging him closer and dropping a string of kisses on his shoulder.

Steve can’t remember the last time he shared a bed with someone, especially while being naked, though he is sure he was wearing pajamas earlier. The kisses morph into a bite and a needy moan escapes his lips when he feels teeth nibbling on his skin. The embrace around his middle tightens and Steve’s hand drifts to the one holding him, fingers locking with the ones of the man behind him. Because it is a man, of that Steve has no doubt.

He looks down, noticing the silver scars in the soft glow of his bedside lamp. “Billy?”

“Sorry I woke you up, pretty boy,” comes the hushed whisper from behind him.

“No, it’s okay. What are yo—” The words die in his throat when Billy moves their linked hands south. Steve can feel Billy harden against his ass as their hands start stroking his dick and he shivers.

Billy gives a light squeeze and Steve rolls his hips, arching his back and groaning when Billy bites down on the crook of his neck.

“Oh god… Billy…”

Steve lets go of Billy’s hand to bury his fingers in golden curls instead. It’s been so long since the hand touching him wasn’t his that the pleasure of it is blinding in its intensity.

He moans loudly, earning himself another bite from Billy.

“Shhhh, pretty boy, not so loud, you’ll wake the baby.”

Steve sinks his teeth in his bottom lip in an effort to be quiet, so he doesn’t wake this baby he doesn’t remember having. His entire focus is on not making noise while Billy does unspeakable things to his body. He shudders; he’s so close already…

Billy notices, because of course he does, he always did notice things, and his hand starts moving faster, his closed fist squeezing the head of Steve’s cock on the upstroke. It’s slick, it’s heady, and too soon, Steve can feel his orgasm rushing at him.

He comes with a shout he can’t silence, but when he opens his eyes again, he’s alone in his bed. It’s his hand around his cock, his mess in his pajama pants. 

Chest still heaving, he quickly cleans up using his pants and gets back into bed wearing a clean pair, reeling from the shocked realization that he wants Billy Hargrove. And a baby.

What the fuck?

Chapter 2

[sadevergreen]

as a camp counselor (technically not currently bc i went home for Illness) and homestuck fan (also technically not currently bc I'm too busy being a camp counselor) i love camp skaia. which homestuck characters are most likely to be the "we're ALL sick there's no reason you can't do the hike up the hill" (has mild cold and vague heatsickness at worst) counselor x "actual lung infection but thinks it's a really normal cold" (very easily gaslit) counselor program group pair? i feel like eridan and kanaya are hot contenders here

ooo ok this is so good- apologies for the ever loving hell that you are about to see but i sought assistance from my dear dear pale friend @marv3l-drag0ns !!!!!!!! MUAH PLATONICALLLY <> ILY they were a huge help in putting this together

BOY DO I HAVE A LOT TO SAY ON THIS, THIS WAS EXTREMELY FUN :D

so let’s begin: my immediate instinct was kanaya and tavros are the most easily gaslit, or adhere most to given direction (we’re not going to talk about HIM). but then who to pair them with? they are both wet cats that won’t work. we decided that YES kanaya and eridan definitely make sense! but in which role? it may seem obvious but NO! eridan too sick? whiny fussy pitiful sopping kitty he’s just a beanbag full of milk! so we decided barely sick eridan, otherwise he’d be throwing a fit. instead he’s referring to his Superior Genes! and kanaya is. strugglin. but fuck man here we are 🤷‍♂️

But we’re not done yet!

the next we considered was karkat and terezi!! especially aided through the lens of karkat’s old crush on terezi; he’s too whipped and in denial to deny a girl a hand!

this led to possibly the funniest thing ever: THE INNER KANKRI THAT EVERYONE HAS AND HE SITS ON YOUR SHOULDER AND REMINDS YOU TO BE DECENT AND LEAVE ROOM FOR KANKRI

for the bigger drawings i capped it off with a good ol favorite of mine; erifef. why did i like them? man idek anymore but it worked really well with the idea of eridan being the sicker one, but being ok such thin ice over his constant whining that he just has to go along with it we just though it was funny hehe. it can be viewed through any lens! snippy or non, s’all good here! it’s all canon.

what is he was sick and he couldn’t whine 🥺 what is he was sick and he wasn’t allowed even a snivle about it 🥺 not a snort 🥺 or a sob 🥺 he’s so pathetic !!!! besides, he can’t be out paced by some fuckin kids!!!! HES A GROWN ADULT 16-18 Y/O CAMP COUNSELOR GODDAMNIT!!

MARVEL: “Feferi: ah yes your sickness you have a functioning immune system and are the most dramatic guy on planet earth (only one of those statements is true)” which statement? :) yeah

she doesn’t believe him anymore <333

Ok and that is it for full line art doodles, but!!! i couldn’t resist drawing some more pairs we pondered

ERIDAN AND KARKAT: omfg so good!! but they would 100% either both be tooooo sick and dead, or they would both be mostly fine

VRISKA AND TAVROS: no. and you know why we’re not doing this one :,( we all instantly knew this one would be here but we are choosing to ignore it im favor of…

TAVROS AND KARKAT: Marvel proposed it and it was very interesting!! i think similar to eridan and karkat, where they’re both dead or both barely sick. no i’m between. aggressive yet positive motivation (?) for the win!!! they further proposed that karkat “eats dirt for a living and doesn’t get sick very often”

Overall this was really fun to put together and answer, and i had a blast getting to colab with a mutual along the way :3 so thank you anon and thank you marvel!! this does bring me to something i’ve been meaning to say,,.,,,

@marv3l-drag0ns ,,? we’ve been friends forever, you know my dogs middle name, we complete each other in a way no one else can! you stop me from eating bones i find on the road, and i stop you from ascending to godtier to avoid going to exams…,…

would you be my

Moirail? <>

anyways! that’s all for now <3 this was so fun :) please send in more asks/ requests like this if you ever think of any more! i definitely feel for the camp counselor piece cause that was me earlier this summer PFF and all the counselors got sick and passed something around (but hey! it was an excuse to sit away from 7 y/olds for a few minutes while i got tea for my sore throat)

[pixies-and-poets]

It was a good attempt

Hey friends. I've had something eating away at me for a while now; I was going to give it a bit more time, but the anxiety around not talking about this is getting to me, so I'll just be direct.

I'm leaving tumblr (sort of).

Without being too melodramatic about this: I've had a lot of complicated thoughts about social media, fandom, the internet in general, being an artist/streamer online, and a bunch of related stuff over the past few years. It's always hard to sort out these thoughts properly, and even harder to talk about them, because I don't want anyone to attack me or assume I'm treating my personal experiences as universal, or belittling something that's important and meaningful to them. I will say I firmly believe that for many people, the modern internet is more harmful to mental health than we're all willing to admit. But I also know it's a great source of connection and friendship where I've met some of the people I love most. If I had a more solid black-and-white conviction or thesis about these complexities, I wouldn't be struggling so constantly to make sense of it all, and the internet's place in my life.

That said, the evidence of my own life points to the fact that the less "online" I am (at this point in my existence), the happier I am. That the remaining sources of self-loathing depression in my life are almost entirely triggered by the internet. That social media is a disaster for my OCD. For many months, I was hoping tumblr would be different. It's not. Realizing that the same old problems I have were just going to resurface here again was a painful process, one I kept denying.

I thought I'd be fine if I only checked in once or twice a day, but the more I do that, the more I find it hard to get myself to check in at all. Because when I do, I feel like I just can't keep up with everything anymore. I don't feel like a part of anything, I don't feel wanted or needed, and it just exacerbates my problems.

But I'm not going to disappear completely. I'll still pop in from time to time and answer any asks, and maybe post doodles. My art account @altermentality will still be active, when I have something worth posting.

You can still find me on twitter for now, and bluesky, but my presence of being truly "active" socially online will be limited to:

Discord- because I enjoy the few smaller, private-ish servers I'm in, and it's my hub for keeping in touch with people one-on-one.

Twitch - At this point in my life, I still greatly enjoy streaming, although my capacity to do it reliably varies. I also love the communities I'm in that I've developed with other streamers.

I'm altermentality on all the places mentioned above. If you'd like to keep in touch, please reach out.

My queue will run until it runs out.

It's been fun and I wish you all the best. Be well.

hi im super new to swwsdj and its lore and i gotta ask, how exactly did jack die? was he murdered was it an onset accident and if so how did that accident go? if we dont truly know then whats ur hc for what happened to him? u seem to be the leading authority on the game since anytime i google it, ur blog shows up pretty prominently.

Wait, me, a leading authority of the game? Prominently featured in google searches? WHAT?

Pardon me, I was just a little overwhelmed for a second there. I'm flattered and flustered all at once. I'm just a silly fan who likes to ramble all the thoughts I have for this lovely game. I had no idea that I rambled enough to be a prominent search result on google. Wow.

The real authority of the game are the kind folks over at SnaccPop Studios. You can check them out over at their patreon, twitter, and tumblr. Also, there's an official tumblr and twitter for Sunny Day Jack that you might consider checking out.

While I'm getting disclaimers out of the way, I also want to make sure to credit them and the awesome Sauce for their lovely art and for being cool with me putting their art in posts like these to help discuss their fabulous game. It really helps illustrate what I'm talking about when I can show the actual illustrations.

Also, remember not to share anything privately posted on the patreon!

Anyway... back to the topic. While we can't say with complete certainty what happened to Jack in 1984 on the day he died, since the game's story is still in development, evidence strongly hints that he was murdered. I theorized in the past that he was shot due to some teaser art and some sprites Sauce was kind enough to share that show him with what look suspiciously like gunshot wounds.

How the incident went down exactly is unknown, but this teaser certainly shows the brutal aftermath. Not to mention the demo shows us hints in the form of childish doodles before the start of the game. It seems there were children in the audience who witnessed the final moments of Sunny Day Jack...

This bit of lost media from Sauce's old twitter is still so chilling to think about. Any development art can't be technically counted as canon if it's not on any official SDJ page, but this heavily suggests how the incident went down.

As for my headcanons about what happened... They've developed somewhat over time, as you can see in a few of my previous posts here, here, and here. I also touched on it in a potential storyline idea for my fanfic, Sunshine in Hell, with my version of his sunshine, Alice, being the reincarnation of someone who unfortunately witnessed the incident. I also played with an AU idea where MC/Alice time travels back to 1984 to stop the murder from happening.

While we do have hints that Jack was the victim of murder, and even what might have been the cause of death, we don't have any clues as to why it happened. We also don't know why his soul was trapped in the tape and turned him into the ghost(?) we know and love. We have a lot of speculation, from his past as Joseph Cullman catching up to him in a violent way, a jealous co-star wanting to take him out, or even a conspiracy set up by LambsWork Productions itself. It could go in any direction at this point.

Sorry I can't offer a definitive answer as to how Jack died or why, but I hope this at least gives you a few things to think about. I'm definitely looking forward to finding out the answers when the full game is released.

[ask-whitepearl-and-steven]

Hi! This is my first time asking a question, so I’m really hoping I don’t mess this up. If your 17 year old self were to see your current art, do you think you would have taken an art major? Thanks!

That's a very fun question! Thanks for asking!

The answer is... probably not?

Let me explain.

I didn't major in art - not because of pressure or lack of self confidence. (In fact, I think as a teen I had way too MUCH self confidence. I thought I was the shit. Top shelf.)

In a weird inversion of the trope of most artists disappointing their families, my family actually encouraged me to go to art school. My mother actively thought I should try it.

I refused back then, because I knew it was very difficult to get a career in art without being extremely hardworking and prolific. I knew how hard artists worked - other artists, that is. I didn't work hard. I just doodled. As a 17 year old, I never spent more than an hour on any drawing. I enjoyed art, but I didn't really work hard on it. It was a hobby.

I saw other artists spending 3+ hours on a realistic pencil drawing, making portfolios, doing color studies, going to special art high-schools, etc and knew that I did not do art that way. I knew I would always draw, no matter what I did, so I left my art on the side and decided to take a different major, which interested me way more academically.

which also ended up being pretty useless in terms of making money, but you know.

I think art school can be great, but it's by no means the only way to go into art.

Many people who are exceptional artists have never gone to art school! Others who did go to art school find that it kills their passion for art. A small subset benefit from it and learn a lot!

It's not for everyone. I don't think it was for me, especially when I was 17. Maybe now I would enjoy it, but back then...? Nah. I would have just exhausted myself and hated the rigidity.

It's fun to think about though!

Twin Princes AU

LEGEND

Part one | Part two

Buy me a Ko-Fi!

AAAAND SCENE! Wow wow! I didn't expect for what was supposed to be another doodle comic...end up with me putting a lot of effort-!

Life got in the way plenty of times- making me take quite a bit to finish this...even contemplating on just putting this on hiatus and just do something else-

...but I did it! I didn't let any discouragement, nerves and bad feelings get to me.

Now I'm sure many are wondering- HOW did this come to fruition? Simple: my friend pointed out that my next comic should focus on Kyurem's involvement in this! Many were wondering what sort of role the old dragon played after the previous comic (Family) and the art piece that accompanied it (The Giant Chasm)! So I went for a more artistic approach to this, making the artwork look like a tale at first, but then shifting to a more crude and cold atmosphere- I was going to polish these last nine pages, yet my friend would tell me that the sketchiness helps with the narrative- and honestly, she was right! Thus I tried to add some subtle sketchiness on pages 7-11 on part one! I wonder if people noticed that detail...? Anyways, time for some fun behind the scenes stuff...!

Here's the very first concept of my Original Dragon design, including his human form!

You can tell I did some adjustments in the final product, but I really wanted to make sure this dragon had characteristics of the tao trio in some way, plus-- I wished for him to have a unique sort of feel- kinda ethereal? I also gave a teeny bit of eastern dragon influence because...well...tao trio. The tail is actually inspired by a plasma engine!

It's why I gave it a bit of a swirl to it- ...kinda reminds me of ice cream- His human design...well, I wished to make sure he looked like the princes yeah-? He is their dad after all! So I made sure to reflect that- Same with his clothing as well! Ah right...I should show the design of our princes yes...?

WHOA WHOA WHOA-- those faces... Hmm... I wonder if people can start piecing together why this au is called the "Twin Princes AU" with this and what was told in this comic...? The design in itself was conceptualized by a rough idea my friend sent me a whiiiiiile back, but asked me to refine it further! Make it fancy, royal, elegant--!! You get the point. XD Though this is the finalized design i came up with as I brainstormed this comic! I hope I could convey how magical yet refined they are! As for Kyurem....oh my! What a reveal as well huh?

What a throwback....! I drew these a while back!

Well, there's certainly some familiar design choices...! And another clue to this whole puzzle- unless some of you have figured it out! Let me know through my ask box! ;D

I really didn't expect such a warm reception towards this au me and my pal cooked up last year. To think mixing concepts from our ocverse (GUARDiANverse) with pokemon could work so well...! I suppose fantastical elements mixing with another fantastical setting aint such a bad idea...! This AU has kinda expanded since it's conception... to a point of having other stories of other characters that take place in this version of the pokemon world!

Though for now, I may need a bit of a breather. 20 pages was QUITE the endeavor! Yet...that doesn't mean I wouldn't be opposed to tell more of my tale in other ways! Shoot me an ask, tell me! Who knows, I may answer with a doodle comic! For now, I'll just slowly cook my next idea! Maybe I should give the witness to these tales some spotlight...? I dunno...but honestly, feel free to shoot asks. Well, I hope you all can be patient with me in the meantime!

non despair au rantaro amami hcs!!

-rantaro knows, like, 12 different languages

-he's only actually fluent in 3 or 4. those would probably be english, japanese, korean, and spanish

-the rest he knows at a survival level. which is to say if he were dropped into the middle of an area where they only spoke one of those languages, he could get himself some food, get a hotel room, lose a sister, pick up a souvenir, and buy a plane ticket home

-he'll also just switch between languages randomly, especially in his head. he'll start a sentence in one language and go through two more before he finishes his thought

-this happens a lot in class, too

-rantaro will be giving a presentation or answering a question, and he'll switch to another language

-and he only realizes it when his peers start to giggle or when the teacher gently stops him and tells him he’s speaking in another language

-then he just awkwardly laughs and scratches his neck before continuing in his original language

-he loves tally hall (hidden in the sand, the bidding), the neighbourhood (cry baby, softcore, fallen star, reflections), jack stauber (choice, oh klahoma, buttercup), tame impala (lost in yesterday, let it happen, desire be desire go), and harry styles (as it was, kiwi)

-maybe i'll drop my rantaro playlist 👀

-a date to one of these concerts is a MUST

-he somehow always gets awesome tickets by pure chance. maybe the tickets were on discount, maybe he had some connections, or maybe he won them over the radio

-i don't think he's afraid to wear dresses or makeup.

-as shown in the game, he's pretty good at painting nails, so i think he'll wear a little makeup from time to time or vibe in a dress every couple weeks

-they might not be his prefered clothing item, but i think he'd wear one

-rantaro in the strawberry dress >>>

-he also draws from time to time! nothing too fancy, but he'll draw something interesting around him with a ballpoint pen while he waits for a train or something. rantaro's art is actually pretty good

-he has the vibes of someone who likes reading old and dusty books by candlelight or by a window

-i think he really enjoys historical fiction or fantasy books. preferably with a little romance and drama sprinkled in

-speaking of drama, he says he's a peace keeper, but he actually enjoys watch other people's drama unfold

-he also has a habit of accidentally flirting with almost everyone he talks to. rantaro doesn't even know he's flirting, it'll just kinda...happen

-his friends know that he doesn't mean it, but everyone else? nope.

-he's also so smooth. SO smooth and SO clever

-even without him accidentally flirting with people, he gets asked out or gets notes in his locker fairly often, and he feels so bad turning them down. he does his best to let them down slowly

-his relationship with his parents is...tense, to say the least. they still love him very much and they're not abusive or harmful in any way, things are just a little off after losing rantaro's sisters

-back to a lighter note, i think he really enjoys stargazing and can use the stars to guide him

-especially when he travels to other places, he loves seeing the contrasts and similarities between the sky where he is and the sky where his home is

-he probably plays the weirdest instruments

-definitely the guitar and ukulele, but he also probably plays like the dulcimer or something too

-rantaro's also pretty absent minded and spaces out often

-he kinda likes this quality, he thinks it makes him look all cool and mysterious

-his forgetfulness stems from being absent minded

-this makes it fairly difficult to concentrate in class. one minute he'll be listening to the lecture and the next he's neck deep in thought about his next trip

-to help combat this, rantaro has found that doodling on his paper every couple of minutes helps keep him focused

-luckily, his clever nature helps him get good grades, even if he was spacing out for the whole lesson

-he's also a little time blind, too

-rantaro could start a project, then BAM! it's been 6 hours and he hasn't eaten or drank anything

-funnily enough, this only happens when he's inside

-if he's outside, he'll be able to guess the time within 10 minutes of what it actually is

-he can also do this if there's a window open

-i think this a little obvious, but he loves being outside

-he out there reading or working or something for a good handful of hours

-has been known to sleep outside on his patio or dorm balcony for absolutely no reason

-his favorite place is the mountains

-rantaro loves being so high up and watching clouds form and move before his eyes

-and the trails are so pretty, too!

-all in all, a pretty cool guy

Hey! I love tcba a lot and Mariko is a fantastic character. I just wondered if there was a physical description for her floating around somewhere? I get a very vague picture from how she is written and how other characters perceive her. But aside from “dark brown/bronze hair, usually braided and tidy, probably fairly pretty (?), girl…” I got nothing for her on my head. I ask specifically because I’d really like to try doodling some fanart for her, or find some online somewhere, but that hard to do when I cant actually picture her very well.

If not describing her outright is a preference of yours though, then I completely understand too. Sometimes a lack of POV character description helps with reader immersion and adds to a story.

Just figured I would ask before I went off half-cocked and drew something that doesn’t suit who Mariko is.

wow that would be really sweet of you! (also tysm for loving tcba) @arc-haism drew some awesome art of mariko that's in the 'art for me tag' that you can find on my pinned post, if you'd like.

and there isn't so much of a physical description in the fic, i guess? i put in smaller details throughout, but i'm so burned by the 'my black hair and purple eyes' descriptions of old that i shy from it very strongly haha. it feels very self-indulgent, but i can give it a go now 💪

so we're looking brown hair, which is almost always braided in some fashion for practicality's sake. (i find having hair in my face super annoying, but also in a medical setting that's unsanitary.) for most of the fic it's a braided updo of some kind, but her starter shippuden look has a side-braid that's a little more abt form than function. it's also pretty long? bottom of the ribs in length. brown eyes (at least pre- eyeball shenanigans lmao), paler skin but not sasuke pale and def not sai pale lmao, square-ish to round-ish face shape, strong jaw. and dog teeth!

short-to-average before she hit her growth spurt (which would have been the start of the fic, so she was basically the same height as naruto and sasuke), and here is where i drop her current height as 178cm. based on some of the height charts i've found for shippuden, she's taller than all of her peers, which i think is hilarious. sadly it won't last forever. in terms of her current build, think sprinter.

accessories/clothes: all black all the time, except for when something is gray lol. those mesh shirts p much always, fingerless gloves. otherwise you can kind of go nuts, i've got her in tons of outfits. shippuden has the bell earring, which is the bell test bells, hanging from one ear, that she uses to cast auditory genjutsu.

i hope that's detailed enough? let me know if i didn't answer something you were dying to know abt tho.

How would Seam and Swatch interact? Would they eventually both realize that both of their [Little Guys] got screwed over by the same mysterious figure?

ty for the ask!!! my short answer is that they'd get along well and have a lot in common, longer answer is under the cut.

this is entirely based on my own interpretation of course, but i don't normally depict spamton and swatch interacting in my own art because i tend to think their relationship would be contentious and done through their pre-game roles. i don't particularly subscribe to the idea that swatch and spamton were great friends, but more of spamton heavily projecting the idea that swatch was a good listener and ally while swatch was acting through his role as head butler and trying to be respectful to this influential yet overwhelmingly unpleasant little man that Queen had allowed to live in the mansion. all of the new information from the Spamton's Sweepstakes is true, but of course filtered through the lens of spamton's demonstrably biased worldview.

swatch, when talking about spamton, doesn't want to talk about it much out of the sake of being polite to a group of young Lightners. he has a strong devotion to his position as butler but also a Darkner, and along with that the hierarchy of Darkners as subserviant to Lightners. i feel like he would have already been put through stress of tending to Spamton as he spiraled emotionally (and if i'm injecting headcanons blatantly, even beforehand with his ego and disregard of others) but Spamton's insistence of going to the basement to harness the discarded NEO body would have permanently soured swatch's opinion of spamton, much like how the act was shocking to seam even being told it secondhand. it's my personal belief that swatch may have played a role in spamton's ejection from the mansion, and obviously worked to ensure that Spamton couldn't break in and manipulate the NEO body.

its definitely 'personal' considering how heavily spamton covers and crosses out swatch in merch (this is from the fangamer specil pak ad), leading me to believe he projected on swatch heavily and felt 'betrayed' by him when it turned out that it wasn't the case. it's a pattern of behavior for spamton to feel incredibly betrayed by people who he felt have done them wrong. the addisons, jevil, swatch, and queen jump out right away.

is it possible that swatch liked spamton at a point? sure. he was once a great customer, but i feel like there's a moral difference of what spamton ended up doing versus what swatch considers acceptable. part of the reason why i think once spamton and jevil work out their mysterious transgressions in the past they'd work out as a couple, since they're coming from similar moral points (which is to say, not much morals at all).

OK i ended up talking up way too much about swatch and spamton LOL. but taking all this into account, seam and swatch would get along well, considering they're both ex-staff of royalty who dealt with two people who became corrupted. i think of the two, seam has the most 'positive' outlook of jevil and spamton (though might still have quiet distrust and reservations) while swatch is more polite out of obligation. i could see both of them hanging out along with rouxls and tasque manager, as people who've dealt with similar situations of serving royalty and now being without a 'role' in the world. i love the idea of all of them hanging out and reminiscing about the old days, especially in helping seam to find more meaning in the world that they were losing reasons to have faith in.

also unrelated have this doodle that was on my canvas. just for you.

Your style is so cool and unique!!! I especially love how you draw cleo and pearl, can I ask what inspired your style or how you learned to draw ??? Thanks!! Love you!! :DD

hi thank you so much! this is super duper sweet!! i LOVE pearl to bits and im so pleased with how ive settled on drawing cleo so this is extra wonderful...

learning to draw.. i think ive just been drawing as a hobby all my life lolol i drew dragons and cats in my sketchbooks and then i was making danganronpa fanart on deviantart when i was like 11 and just have kept semi regularly drawing stuff online ever since! I havent really taken any formal classes outside of like. high school arts credit but im not too interested in really improving my craft as long as i can make little doodles i like to look at so :) i’m lazy

as for style.... ill tell you a secret. a lot of it I really dont have an answer as to where its from! lots of randomly drawing things slightly differently and thinking 'hey, i like that' and keeping it. and I really like simplifying and stylizing and breaking things down into shapes - it's a fun puzzle for me - so that's just from my brain. I will say though heeavy inspiration that probably shines through a lot from fozzie here on tumblr - honestly particularly his old style from when i followed years ago sticks with me.. theres a little bit of al hirschfeld in there too... peanuts and calvin and hobbes.. a random sonic picture I saw online somewhere i remember also helped inspire me to try doing hands and feet in a way that led to how i do them now..... really anywhere and anything I see !!!

i hope these were comprehensible at all.. love you!! <3 MWAH

(Asking with my main blog, but this is supposed to come from my fallout sideblog @eattheglowingmoss. Tumblr let sideblogs send asks.)

BUT as someone who also has a funky GNC courier who also causes Arcade problems (Ame Ortiz - 10 Luck, 3 intelligence my beloved). I have to know how Delilah met Arcade. Did they meet him the regular way in the Old Mormon fort? Did they know each other when they worked for the Followers before getting shot? Do you imagine they met some other way?

Love their design!

ok 1st of all. please know that i lost my whole entire mind when i read this ask thank you SOOOOO much for asking about delilah!!!! it means so much to me :') i really really appreciate the chance to talk about them. i did some art to make my answer a bit less "wall of text" bc i have a LOT of thoughts about Arcade and Del. Delilah actually first heard about Arcade from a friend at the Boneyard Library before they transferred to the vegas branch, since it seemed like they had a lot in common!

[they changed their name a LOT in their old life. Nobody is sure why. they were going by Sunny when they left boneyard.]

Julie very enthusiastically told arcade this same info when she heard from HQ that their new transfer was a tech enthusiast.

Unfortunately though... Sunny never made it to the mormon fort. Julie and everyone else waited, but after a few months they were forced to assume that she'd died on her way there. So nobody batted an eye when Delilah strolled in, very enthusiastic to learn about what the Followers were all about!!

They dont specifically remember that they were a follower, but they got a real good feeling when they stepped foot in the mormon fort. (they chose not to examine the source of this feeling. theyre just that kind of person.) they periodically popped in and out of the fort for a few weeks, dumping a pile of medical supplies at Julies feet each time and then poking around for awhile, chatting with all the doctors.

They had an especially good feeling about Arcade. They werent sure why, but when they talked to him, something just felt right for the first time in a long time. They KNEW they had to befriend this guy so they immediately put on their best Cool Guy persona to impress him.

this did not work.

they were not deterred though!!! if delilah is anything, theyre stubborn. so they came back later and tried again.

it wasn't easy for them to convince him though. backpedaling and explaining that they only said that stuff because they thought itd impress him required a level of vulnerability they're unaccustomed and unwilling to provide. so it took awhile of popping in and saying hi and being genuinely interested in what he was doing.

id like to tell about the time they finally do recruit arcade in its own comic, so ill leave this off here for now :)

again thank you so so much for asking about delilah!!!!!! this ask made my whole week and really encouraged me to draw this scene id been wanting to draw for a long time. (also, Ame seems so cute!!! ill have to doodle him sometime soon hehe)

[hol-sashimi]

i love theta (and tserri though that man is a big red flag)

here's a fanart idea (you may not do them if you don't want to): theta and tserri switching roles? like tserri is the bodyguard and theta is the "prince." how would that look like i wonder?

    Hello! Thank you for your idea, I reflected on it for some time and made a small doodle. Before looking on it, read this short description firstly to understand what's going on in this cute AU. (and sorry for my bad english)

    I've been thinking about replacing Theta's personality with Tser's one, but it didn't look nice, just a copy of the main plot (however, since the prince was now a little girl and the bodyguard was a tall and strong man, I think a bit of creepiness gone). So I've placed Theta on a throne, using her personality from manga in the same time. Since childhood, she was learning military things with brother, but small part of her wanted to know, how is it to live peacefully? Can countries live without wars? How can people around the world, having different mentalities, stop all the conflicts? Thoughts about this impossible utopia and interest towards simple people were the thing that made her afraid of being a leader after Nasubi. Tserriednich here is her loyal bodyguard, who avoids almost all the other people, but can work in command when it's needed. She started communicating with this lonely man in around 13 and found out that he is incredibly interesting and clever person, who knows a lot of things and still constantly learning. He was quoting her books and philosophers during the work, he described her every artist he knew and taught her basics of art, he got her interested in biology and medicine. Unlike other guards, he was never against her ideas, even the craziest ones, so they often ran away from the mansion before Theta turned 19 and sadly left her constant place of living. (Tserrie learnt every tree and every house to make their walks as safe as possible)

    He was her friend, her closest person. Other bodyguards, even after being asked, avoided calling Theta 'Theta', but Tserriednich just answered 'Sure, your majesty', and since then, being alone with him, she has always been Theta.

    When she turned 16, Unma and especially special meetings guests started looking strangely on tall 19 years old boy? or man? , who always followed his master, so since then they were avoiding each other while being away from home. (I made their age difference here 2,5 times lower than I think it is...) Tserrie then got a really strange, but funny habit to give Theta folded letters during their short meetings under cameras. Theta, who suffered a lot from nervousness sleeping in big dark rooms in different estates, far from home, found a help in these pieces of paper. He has been describing her his days, writing stories and facts, drawing little pictures with animals she liked.

    He found something in Theta. Yes, he also liked being a prince's guard because of having a lot of opportunities connected with studying and getting rare things (Theta doesn't give guards a lot of job, so free time is enough). But he also liked her curiosity, her personality and her attention. Still, he never wanted to learn something with Theta. For example, when she got an invitation to the grand opening of a big ice rink, he started spending nights training and days teaching Theta to do figure skating. He was a person who understood everything quickly, and he knew that it's too dangerous to invite someone to train her. He actually was a bit paranoic.

    Theta liked him too, as a friend. And also in a bit of another way. I am not an expert in psychology, but puberty + loneliness, which Theta always felt being away from Tserrie... I think this is fine for young girls, I thought this can make a story a bit more interesting. She surely felt bad for this, and the fact that her dearest bodyguard didn't see a girl in her was both a relief and a pain. Until the moment she shot him in the forehead, Theta associated Tserriednich with the summers of her 18 and 19, last summers in the childhood mansion, filled with hot days and severe thunderstorms, morning dew and night hedgehogs, cold sheets and sunbeams that leaked via tree crowns. He stayed with Theta during the nights, catching bats with her and telling her Sami fairy tales, and he always left after she fell asleep.

    Tserrie was a cruel man, though nice with her. He broke a few arms and ribs before turning 16, he has never hesitated before shooting into a sudden danger, he even asked Theta once to leave assassin for him in anatomical purposes. She thought it was a joke, and other guards decided to hide the fact Tser really did this :D: (look, this thing shows both :D and D: ). He was scary in the rage he felt towards rich, hypocrite people Theta met often. Once, in a friend quarrel, Theta said with a smile that she can stop their long chit-chats with one word and win the opinion competition easily, just like other prin... She didn't manage to finish the phrase, hearing 'So do it and let's stop wasting each other's time'.

    She apologized a few times during the next days and never used her status in their talks again. And it was the first time Theta seriously thought about how dangerous this man can be.

    He gutted Benjamin's ambassador, turned his face into a purple-red mass, broke a few teeth into halves with pliers and did a lot of other things (all before gutting, as expertise said). Tserriednich carefully watched for all the people who stayed in Theta's mansion. This time wasn't an exception, even though Theta swore that she knows this man and she knows Benjamin very good as well. Tserrie never explained what psychology pressure he used on the assassin, but a corner of the camera showed that it was ambassador who started the fight. This coincidence (no) saved Tser from being imprisoned, even though the weapon was not found.

    It was 4 am, there were guards and police, and Theta stayed behind with Tserriednich. He explained her shortly what has happened.

- When he turned to my side, I think I felt a wave, I felt pressure and even fear. When I crashed his fingers and prevented him from breaking a suicide pill, I avoided killing him instantly just because I wanted to know what this was. But he said so many bad words about you that I couldn't let him continue speaking... Have any guesses what was this power?

    Theta was staying still. One police officer was sitting in the corner, two girls were constantly looking on Tserrie, Borksen didn't manage to take Theta away and took a place not so far away from the couple. Theta noticed that Tserriednich breathes heavily and wondered if this probably-nen-power hurt him. 'What a luck that no things activated after owner's death...', - she thought. She knew nen basics thanks to her brother, he probably admired her interest in military and justice once. Knowing how powerful nen can be, it was a luck that the ambassador was weak. If he was weak, did Benjamin think that a rookie nen user is enough to kill her?..

- Tse... I am sorry, - she needed some comfort, - sorry for this all, but...

- Oh? Don't worry Theta, - his voice became quiet, - just another pig to gut, just another police to talk with. I am fine.

    His calmness, smile and cruel words made Theta's state even worse. She didn't listen to his descriptions of what he heard from this man, what he has done here, what bones were cracked and in what order. When he smiled softly and started to calm her down, saying that he will always be next to her, Theta did a thing she promises herself never doing again. Used her status and roughly shut him up. Gave him order to go away - almost the first one in her life.

    Boom they broke their relationships for 2 weeks. Remember, this is not a fanfiction. Theta was feeling terrible, sad and alone, still she was mad on Tserriednich. He showed her zero times since then, plus he was downgraded by her and now didn't need to communicate with Theta tête-à-tête to perform his duties.

    They never discussed this evening - another mistake. Theta just invited him back and spent months trying to return her previous Tserriednich, trying to get his trust again. But his jokes and compliments looked falsified now, he stopped sending letters, became quieter. Also, when Theta understood that no other people, even family, can be trusted, she decided to avoid spending her life in just a mansion and had a very busy schedule since then. Their shared activities almost disappeared, and even being alone together in one room was a rare thing now.

    Theta felt that her Tserriednich returned when he heard of nen on a Black Whale. Here everything goes almost just like in manga - Tser opens into himself great powers (Theta-teacher), starts looking at Theta with a huge suspicion because she's been hiding this power for a long time from him. Theta understands that he is too dangerous - for this boat, for Kakin empire, for her, and decides to kill a person she adored the most. Painlessly and fast. Even feeling almost nothing towards him during the last years, she remembered how nice days with him were some time ago. Theta pulls the trigger, looks on his corpse for a few seconds and loses conscious after seeing him alive and :0

    Tserrie is now in a dangerous state - he has a cool ability, but he also has a clever Theta against him. Still, while she doesn't know enough about what’s happened during the zetsu training, he can try to make the situation profitable for himself... The end

[eyndr-stories]

YOU!!! I WAS DISTRACTED BY SPACE GAME BUT

1. Your first OC ever?

4. A character you rarely talk about?

13. Do you have any troublemaker OCs?

43. Do you have any certain type when you create your OCs? Do you tend to favour some certain traits or looks? It’s time to confess (i bet i can guess something for that one kldgj)

ME!!!!! >:3

1 - I think my first ever OC that i can remember was this little dinosaur fella I would draw all the time in paper margins way back in middle school, I don't actually have any pics on my computer but I doodled him real quick for ya

Binosaur cause his head is just the letter B fdkjgjhgfdkfdg

4 - Lianel!!!!! I don't think I've ever shared them anywhere?? I made them back in highschool (hence the old signature, I went by a different name back then), I actually made a short little comic of them exploring this ruined world that I can't find >:( It's hiding in a sketchbook somewhere i hope and I just haven't scanned it. But anyhoo! Lianel is on the run for space crimes!! Jury's out on whether or not they actually committed said crimes or were framed though. They found their ancient armor from the ruins of a resistance organization that died out a long time ago, but when you're on the run you take what you can get. They've got a funky staff that an even funkier little magic blob lives in, so long as Lianel takes them on adventures, since the little blob can't travel on their own. In return the blob lets Lianel use some of their magic when they get into trouble. I don't think I ever named the blob??????????

13 - Hehohoho!!!!! >:D This is Calcifur!!! They look small and unassuming but they will steal your wallet fhgjhkgfjklhgf

Cal loves being gay and doing crimes, especially graffiti in places they're not supposed to, although after they met Lato they toned it down a lot and now stick to mostly silly pranks. Calcifur is one of the main three fellas I used to draw a whooooole lot before I fell out of doing art for a good while, and i will definitely be using this as an excuse to talk about them gjhfijhgfd but first, more about Calcifur! Cal's skin glows and changes color with their mood, (neutrally they're blue) and they've got a nifty pair of headphones that can transform into a stylish neck kerchief. They can speak, but can only be heard by people they want to hear them. And now the trio!

MY MAIN BLORBOS..... I LOVE THEM

Ok so the other two are Lato and Cube (bet you can't guess who's who lmao) Lato is my fluffy puff ball sweet boy, friendliest fella you'll ever meet. He's naturally very curious and aims to be pals with everyone he meets. He's semi aware of his being an artistic creation, though he's pretty chill about it. Cube on the other hand, is fully aware and somewhat peeved at me about it jhgdkhgdjkjhgfd Cube is a straightforward know it all with a short temper and vast knowledge. Originally I made him to be a companion to Lato, to keep him company in the void (since I was very bad about never drawing any sort of backgrounds lmao) and to answer Lato's many ceaseless questions for me. He often shows up doodled in the margins of whatever I'm working on to make snide jokes about something or other or yell at me to stay focused. Now a days the three live together in a nice house out in the forest and have fun domestic style shenanigans. I could talk about these three for a thousand years so I'll stop here because this whole ask has already gotten slightly out of hand kgfdhlkdjgfhgj

43 - (Looks at my crew of just the silliest lil guys. Jokesters and pranksters abound) Idk can't think of anything

dkhfjhlgdgljgfh I do really like silly characters, and characters with more simple designs that are easier for me to doodle here and there without taking too much time or energy. Cube is VERY popular in my notes and sketchbooks. Funny enough a lot of sillier characters are more recent creations, characters I made in highschool and earlier had more tragic / serious backstories. Oh, I also draw a LOT of little creatures, just strange monster things. Not sure if they count as OCs, most aren't even named or I only drew once or twice, but I do love me a creature

Tag People You Wanna Get to Know Better

Tagged by the wonderful and lovely @lans-rabbit-glade 😊💖! Thanks for tagging me izzy! I loved reading your answers :)

Relationship Status: It’s just me here (single pringle)

Favorite Colors: Pink & Red

Song Stuck in My Head: Do I Wanna Know by Arctic Monkeys… I’ve listened to that song probably a million times and I’m still not tired of it nor will I ever be 💖. I’m definitely not looping it for writing inspiration or anything (also izzy I see your song choice and I am tempted to roast you for being a mobile gamer 😜)

Last Thing You Googled: “There’d Better Be a Mirrorball.” I was looking up song lyrics (I listen to other artists besides arctic monkeys, I swear 😅)

Time: 11:47 PM when I’m writing this. But I usually queue most of my posts so it’ll be 10 AM when I’m posting this :3

Dream Trip: Hmmm, idk. I’m not much of an explorer lol. Maybe Japan or New Zealand? Just to say that I’ve been there before. Honestly, as long as I can go either shopping or to an amusement park I’ll be happy as a clam.

Last Thing You Read: It’s rare, but sometimes I want to read a cute high school AU with a love triangle. So the last thing I read was a tyrus fanfic called Of Course by CaithyCat & imnotanauthor. I’ve been rewatching Andi Mack, an old comfort show of mine. I know it’s a disney show “for kids” but sometimes I just feel like watching disney or nickelodeon shows ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Also this one in particular I started watching when I was bedridden for a month so it’s very dear to me :)

Last Book You Enjoyed Reading: Believe it or not, I actually read a paperback book last week. I was looking for a quote, so I opened my volume 2 of *cough* Scum Villain’s Self Saving System *cough*. And then I found the quote. And then I just kept reading until I was halfway through volume 3 and it was like 3 in the morning. Seriously, that book makes my brain go a little bonkers. The scene where Shen Qingqiu tries to hide Luo Binghe from Zhuzhi Lang nearly made me cry from laughing too hard.

Last Book You Hated Reading: Excluding fanfics, I can’t think of one… Maybe Tokyo Ghoul/:re back in 2017? I remember really hating that manga. Honestly, I’m really picky when choosing something to read so the stories I end up disliking I tend to just drop them and then completely forget they ever existed.

Favorite Thing to Cook/Bake: I’m kind of a terrible chef ngl. But the reviews are in and I make a pretty stellar spaghetti. Whenever my niece visits, she always asks me if I can make her my spaghetti because it’s way better than any she’s ever had. Getting that kid to eat anything is a struggle, so I’m really glad that she not only eats my food, she asks for seconds.

Favorite Craft to Do in Your Free Time: When I think of the word “crafts”, I imagine, like, art projects made by hand, so I’m not sure I can include writing and gif-making on this one. So excluding those, does drawing count? Even before I got a drawing tablet, I used to doodle all the time even on scraps of paper. I’m not really good at it, but it’s always been something I do just to kinda get my brain to chill.

Most Niche Dislike: Hmm. You know, it’s funny that you mentioned nail polish, izzy, because the first thing that popped into my head was long nails. I have tried to be that girl who gets a full set at the nail salon and I never did it again because the sound of my nails clacking against things bugged me. Like, I can’t even stand the feel of my own natural nails when they’re the slightest bit too long lol.

Opinion on Circuses: Never been to one. But, clowns slightly freak me out so I don’t have the best opinion of their home turfs.

Do You Have Any Sense of Direction: I’d say I do. Or maybe I think I do by association? My parents both have a pretty bad sense of direction and I used to help them a lot by printing out maps and searching for streets in relation to where we were. One of my older brothers used to always assign me as designated navigator because I’m good at keeping an eye on where we are and how to get back on track should we get lost

I liked this tag game! It was fun and refreshing. Gonna tag a couple of you, but please no pressure to respond! Only if you feel like making one 😊 @bioerin @kimievii @koujaaku @ashinlae @wallynorthbynorthwest @fluffyrabbitofdoom @apocalyptickoala @theraincanttouchus @mdzs-rabbithole + anyone who sees this and wants to make one 💖
