Time Alone - Drew x GF!Reader

Masterlist

Summary: you and Drew have crazy work schedules. Finally having time off work you go and spend it with him in South Carolina when he films. Even being there with him it’s hard to find time alone, until it isn’t.

A/N: wrote this on my phone so my theme is not present here. Just too good not to post. Also not really proofread since it was done on my phone and I hate google docs on my phone.

Warnings: SMUT - car sex, oral, riding

Inspired by @rafescokewhore anons finding his Apple Music playlists. Been thinking about this for a while. 🤭

You and Drew drive home from set, the cool evening air filling the car as the hum of the engine fades into the background. You’re visiting him for a couple of weeks while he’s filming, but this is the first real alone time you’ve had since you arrived. He’s been either on set or surrounded by the cast at the apartments, and by the time you both make it to bed, you’re usually too tired to even talk.

The car ride is mostly silent, the two of you holding hands as one of his playlists plays in the background. There’s a comfortable intimacy in the quiet, a kind of connection that doesn’t need words.

When he pulls into his spot in the dark parking lot, the air between you shifts. He turns off the car, the music still playing, and looks at you with an expression that sends a flutter through your stomach.

“Pull down your shorts,” he says, his tone casual but firm.

You blink at him, startled. “Huh?”

Before you can fully process what’s happening, he’s already reaching over, his fingers deftly working at the button of your shorts. His determined expression makes you burst into giggles, but the sound catches in your throat as he tugs your shorts and underwear down in one swift motion, tossing them into the back seat.

Your body shifts instinctively, pressing your back against the passenger-side door as Drew adjusts himself. He kneels in the driver’s seat, gently lifting one of your legs to drape over the backrest and he pulls you up so your ass is on the center console.

His movements are unhurried but purposeful. His lips brush your inner thigh, trailing heat in their wake before his mouth descends. The first flick of his tongue against your clit sends a jolt through you, a loud moan escaping your lips.

Without breaking rhythm, his free hand reaches for the volume knob, turning up the music to drown out your sounds, just in case anyone happens to pass by. “Those sounds are just for me.” He looks up at you eyes full of lust.

He’s relentless, his tongue and fingers working together as if he’s savoring every reaction he draws from you. His mouth moves with a feverish intensity, exploring every inch of you as your body arches against the door, lost in the moment.

Your moans grow louder as Drew’s movements intensify. His tongue circles your entrance before trailing back to your clit, sending waves of heat through your body. His fingers slide inside you with an almost teasing slowness, curling just right to make you gasp. You can’t help but thread your fingers into his scalp, gripping tightly, nails digging to his head as his mouth continues its work.

“Drew,” you whisper, your voice shaky, barely audible over the music.

He glances up at you, his eyes dark with focus, but he doesn’t stop. If anything, the look in your eyes seems to spur him on, his movements becoming more deliberate, more consuming.

The windows are fogged now, the small car feeling like its own secret world. The outside doesn’t matter—just Drew, the music, and the intoxicating pull of the moment.

Your chest rises and falls quickly, sending out shallow gasps as Drew’s tongue works hard against you. His lips latch onto your clit, sucking gently before flicking his tongue in maddening circles. His fingers curl inside you, pressing against that perfect spot that makes your back arch and your moans uncontrollable.

Your hips move instinctively against him, chasing the building pressure. He adjusts slightly, his other hand gripping your thigh to keep you steady as his tongue moves with maddening precision. The pleasure swells, consuming you until all you can do is hold onto him, gasping his name as your body trembles.

“Fuck, Drew,” you whimper, your fingers r moving around his head as your hips continue to buck against his mouth.

He lets out a low growl of approval, the vibrations sending another jolt of pleasure through you. His grip on your thigh tightens, holding you in place as he devours you like he’s starving.

“You taste so fucking good,” he murmurs against you, his voice muffled but rough with hunger. He dips his tongue inside you, his nose brushing against your clit, and the sensation makes you cry out.

The car is sweltering now, the heat inside making you forget it’s winter, but neither of you care. The world outside feels miles away—right now, it’s just you, Drew, and the overwhelming heat pooling in your core.

He pulls back slightly, his lips glistening, and looks up at you with that wicked smirk you know too well. “You’re gonna come for me, aren’t you?”

You nod frantically, barely able to form words as he slides his fingers back inside you, curling them just right. His mouth finds your clit again, sucking hard, and your whole body tenses as the pressure inside you builds to a breaking point.

“Come on, baby,” he urges, his voice dark and commanding. “I want to feel you fall apart on my tongue.”

The sound of his voice, the filthy promise in his words, sends you over the edge. Your body shakes as the orgasm crashes through you, your cries spilling out uncontrollably. Drew doesn’t let up, his mouth and fingers working you through every wave of pleasure until you’re left trembling, completely spent.

He finally pulls back, his lips slick and swollen, and sits back in the driver’s seat, his chest rising and falling as he watches you. “God, you’re fucking beautiful when you come,” he says, his voice thick with lust.

You’re still catching your breath, your body slumped against the door, when you notice the bulge in his pants. He follows your gaze, smirking as he adjusts himself.

“You think I’m just letting it end there?” he asks, unbuttoning his jeans and pulling them down just enough to free himself.

Your eyes widen slightly, heat rushing back through your body as he strokes himself slowly, his gaze locked on you.

“Come here,” he commands, his voice low and dripping with need.

You crawl over the center console, straddling him as his hands find your hips, guiding you down onto him. The stretch is perfect, and you let out a soft moan as he fills you completely.

“That’s it,” he groans, his hands gripping you tightly. “Ride me, baby.”

You move slowly at first, your bodies pressed together in the cramped space of the car. His mouth finds yours, the kiss hot and messy, his teeth nipping at your bottom lip. His hands guide your hips, urging you to go faster, harder, until the sound of skin against skin fills the car, mixing with your moans and the bass of the music still playing in the background.

Every thrust hits deep, and you’re both lost in the heat of it, your bodies moving together in perfect rhythm. The car rocks slightly with your movements, the world outside completely forgotten as you chase another high together.

“Fuck,” he groans against your neck, his breath hot on your skin. “You’re so tight, so fucking perfect.”

His words send you spiraling closer to the edge again, and as his hand slips between your bodies to rub your clit, it’s all too much. Your second orgasm hits you even harder than the first, your body clenching around him as he thrusts up into you, his own release following soon after.

You collapse against his chest, both of you panting and spent, the air in the car thick with heat and filled with the scent of sex. His fingers trail lazily along your spine as he presses a soft kiss to your temple. He reaches over and turns down his music that was just blasting.

“Now that,” he murmurs, his voice still breathless, “is how you make the most of alone time.”

You laugh weakly, shaking your head as you pull back to look at him. “You’re unbelievable.”

“And you love it,” he replies, his grin smug and entirely unapologetic.

♛

Winter 2024

“WATCH OUT INDIANAPOLIS — you're about to get... absolutely SOAKED!”

The booming voice of a man in Steve’s bedroom stirs him awake.

Letting out a ferocious yawn, The King rubs his eyes free of the annoying crust in the corner of his sockets, flopping around one more time before doing his routine stretch.

“Google,” Steve commands. “Turn off the TV.”

The TV immediately switches off. It’s nothing personal to meteorologist Marcus Bailey, but if Steve ever needed an accurate forecast of Indianapolis, all he would have to do is look outside his penthouse window. And that, after brushing his teeth, is just what he does.

"G'morning Indy,” he sighs happily on his balcony before going back inside.

Steve then makes his way over to the kitchen to fix himself some breakfast.

“Google,” he calls out again. “Open the curtains, please.”

Google replies:

“Opening curtains. Good morning — Steve.”

"Google, what's my schedule looking like today?" "Google, text Dustin." “Google, what is the weather looking like in Nevada?” “Google, turn on my shower tunes.”

The best thing about not living with Eddie Munson anymore, is that Steve can shamelessly sing Amy Winehouse in the shower without being hounded about it.

“We only saaaid GOODBYE, with WORDS!” Steve sings, confidently off-key. “I died a hundred times! You go back to her, and I goooo baaack toooo…”

"Scanning fingerprint...”

an automated voice announces at the entrance of Steve's walk-in closet.

Swish...

The door slides open. Sauntering his way inside, Steve ventures for some slick black athleisure down to the shoes, his usual musky cologne, and some matching sunglasses (despite the gloomy forecast prediction).

Black. 🎶

Steve Harrington is ready for the day.

---

"Google, make reservations for 3 people at Tony's Steakhouse at 7pm please."

All Steve had left to do for the day now was grocery shop. Which was always a hassle. Because sometimes, the store doesn't have the specific brand he's looking for so the shopper has to opt for an alternate version. Or sometimes, the shopper assigned to him that day chooses produce that is nearing its expiration date making every fruit in his bag a mushy mess. It doesn't happen too often, but it sure feels inconvenient as hell when it does. There are worse problems in life though, so Steve really can't complain.

*Ring, ring. Ring, ring*

The very distinct and custom ringtone has Steve bolting across the room to answer the call. One of his best friends was on the other line.

"Yello?" he says into the phone.

"Hey, it's Shy Girl," comes a voice. "Eddie and I are pulling in."

"Pull off to the side. Valet's got it. I'll send you guys up."

A bottle of cabernet sauvignon a la Steve awaits the pair when they make their way over. Consider it a Tony's pre-game.

"GameWorld stock is up 4% today,” Steve's buddy, and owner of Hellfire Gentlemen's Club Eddie Munson announces as the two clink glasses. "I don’t have much faith in it though, figure I’ll get my pie slices from actual grocery stores. Like Meijer.”

“Everyone's always gonna need groceries,” Steve points out. "Definitely. Just don't day trade. Not now."

"Ooh, you hear that, Eds?" Shy Girl nudges him. "You gotta be careful where you put your money."

"I gotta be careful with my money, period," Eddie smirks. "You're a danger to my pockets, angel."

"Oh but you love me," she says.

"Yeah," Eddie gives in, grabbing his lover's dainty digits, trailing his fingers across hers, and rubbing the glistening rock that took up most of her left hand on the distal side. "I sure do."

"I'm just... so proud of us," Steve sappily reflects. "So much has happened over the past two years and we've all come so far."

"Yeah," Shy Girl agrees. "And it's about fucking time we celebrate."

"I agree," Eddie chimes in, raising his glass once again. "This weekend trip is going to be... one for the books."

"Viva Las Vegas," Steve toasts. "Cheers."

"Viva Las Vegas!"

SEATTLE, WASHINGTON

Black and red.

They're the two colors that occupy your closet the most. But of course, after graduating from Washington State University (or Wazzu, for short), you expected nothing less.

You could do with some more sequins though, you think to yourself as you pack your bags.

"What do you think of this, Sweets?"

Peering over your shoulder, you see that your best friend, Elle has started festivities early, managing to hold two glasses of champagne in one hand, and six-inch stilletoes in the other.

"Can't take the party out of the girl, that's for damn sure," you respond.

When you left Seattle to attend WSU Pullman, Elle was your only friend in business class. Mainly because the class was predominantly for dudes, but eventually you found out that you two have a lot in common.

Elle is everything you would want in an older sister figure: she is both book smart and wise, she is sexy, and she eats men for breakfast. And, now that she's about to celebrate the launching of her lingerie business (along with her Dirty 30s Era), and you're about to enter your new-grad era, you two are hitting up Las Vegas to go ham together one last time.

It's all so bittersweet. You owe everything to the Warrens, having taken you in when you were a lost undergrad. It also sucked quite a bit not having a support system after graduating high school. You and Elle were all each other has. Which makes this inevitable separation so much more painful.

"Are you sure you're okay with Vegas by the way?" you question. "I know since the split, being surrounded by gorgeous girls 24/7 can kinda be triggering.”

"Don't worry about it, love," she shakes it off. "The past is in the past. This is a new era of me."

Cheers to that. Clinking your airport-pregame champagne glasses with one another, you raise a toast to yourselves, celebrating how far the two of you have come over the past four years.

"To friendship."

"To friendship."

"To being elegant and educated."

"To elegance and education."

"And to being girl-bosses for the rest of our lives."

You giggle as you raise your glass of champagne even higher.

"To being girl-bosses for the rest of our lives," you two take a sip at the same time. "And no matter how near and no matter how far, we're always gonna be besties."

"I love you, Sweets."

"I love you too, Isabelle."

Elucien Week - Ways to Participant

With only two weekends left before Elucien Week begins, now's the time to start really focusing on your project(s)!

We know that fanart and fanfiction get a lot of attention during event weeks - but what about the folks who don't draw or write, or simply don't have the time? Well the good news is there's still plenty of fun and creative ways you can participate in the event, so we've put together a short list you can take inspiration from!

Make an event-themed Playlist - You could choose to create a public playlist using a music service such as Spotify, make a bullet list on tumblr, or even put the songs together on a cute graphic (there's even a free elucien-themed template you can use here!)

Create a Moodboard - Websites like Canva have a lot of free templates you can use to put together moodboards, or you can even make a photo grid in tumblr! Just try your best to source your photos ethically and give credit to any fanartists if using their content!

Share a theory - If you're looking for inspiration, consider leaning into one of our prompts. Most theories strive to answer a question, such as: Does Lucien actually own a moon on a string? Remember that it can be as serious or satircal as you'd like!

Bullet your favorite headcanons - You can take inspiration from our daily prompts, from the fic that you've always wanted to write inside your head, or from the countless number of prompt lists that you can find on tumblr (like this one or this one)

Create a Fic Recommendation List - Slap together all your favorite fics or curate a list using filters from Archive of Our Own. If you wanted to put them in a graphic, there's a free template you can use here!

Make a Powerpoint - Have you ever heard of Powerpoint Night? Try opening up a Google Slide and putting together an Elucien themed presentation that answers the important questions like - what outfits would Elain wear in a modern AU? Or - What would Lucien's tinder bio look like?

Create an Online Activity - websites like Kahoot or Quizlet or puzzel.org allow you to put together customizable quizes and puzzle games you can share!

Engage with the community! - We strongly believe this is the most important and rewarding way you can contribute to Elucien Week, regardless of your blog-size or how often you plan to post during the week. Liking, reblogging, and commenting on as many creations as you can will not only be so meaningful to the people working on those projects, it will also serve in fostering a supportive and uplifting atmosphere!

[seven-gill]

Hiya!!!! Just wanted to pop in and say I LOVE your art!! You're an incredibly skilled artist, and I desperately wish I had better connection on tumblr so I could look more closely at your designs

I actually had a couple questions! Feel free to not answer if you don't wanna, but they popped into my head as I was scrolling through your art ^^

What's your design process like?

I've noticed a very high interest in SeaWings and especially with your Moray and Shark designs, I was wondering if there were any fish you really want to incorporate into a design but haven't had a chance to yet?

Your pinned post mentions a long list of marine life - could you explain that list a bit more? What leads you to putting something on the list? Is it in a specific order? What are a couple of your favorite entries and why?

Thanks for sharing your exquisite art with the world - I look forward to seeing more!!!

Urgh I wish I could say I had a proper process but I'm a little all over the place. Generally I tend to follow these steps when conceptualizing WoF characters:

a. Read up on that specific character, usually by skimming through the books/reading the wiki. What is the most basal information I can work with. For Listener, I know she is tall, curvy, and looks like a successful hunter. She's got some spunk and spontaneity to her character, although she's occasionally ignorant and air-headed. In the end, she's a devoted friend with a strong sense of justice and empathy. At least, that's my reading of her.

b. Start sketching! Play around with shapes and motifs. What does this character feel like to me? What color are they if that's never been specified? What shape are they? What sort of theme do I want them to have? Can I incorporate their name into their design? How does their personality reflect their visual appearance? Translating personality traits into physical ones is a "whatever feels right" sort of deal for me. Listener felt loose and round to me and I wanted to give her a tom-boyish look with some little quirks that I felt made her endearing and lively. This is also where personal headcanons come in. Now Listener has the equivalent of a dragon bob-cut. Now she has buckteeth, a snub nose, and hey- her name is Listener, so why not give her big ears?

c. Clarify and refine. The original sketch is typically a huge mess of gestural drawing so I'll go over it/redraw it a few times and clarify any details I might have skipped. Sometimes I try a different pose or expression to see if it still looks alright under different conditions. Maybe I flip the canvas lol. I might end up changing minor aspects of the design at this point, or scrapping it entirely if it isn't working. For Listener's design I clarified the shape of her snout, ears, and shrunk her earrings.

*

2. Yeah I've drawn a lot of SeaWings by this point, lol. I'd like to say it was a coincidence, but maybe my subconscious would argue otherwise. I think it's because all the SeaWings have such large named families consisting of prominent characters, so if I draw one, then I feel compelled to draw their mother, or brother, etc... As for what fish I'd like to base a SeaWing on, I have no idea! I tend to, rather uncreatively, base a character's design off their name. Although, I've been working on a Indigo design with betta fish inspiration.

*

3. OH BOY, the List. The List is actually a Google slideshow I've been working on and off of for the last five years. It's a list compiling aquatic organisms (extant or extinct) that I find strange, whether it be due to their appearance or behavior. Think animals like cookie cutter sharks, giant isopods, stoplight loose jaws, and siphonophores. If it looks weird or does weird things, it's going on the List. I've always had a fondness for unusual sea creatures, and I love to make organized lists! The List serves no actual purpose beyond my own amusement. It's arranged alphabetically and each slide consists of a name (common and scientific), a photo or two, and a brief description of the species and any explanation for their unusual appearances or habits. It's very informal, but I'm working on tidying it up and adding actual scientific information rather than a funny quip from me. Most slides only feature a picture and have yet to receive a thorough description. There's currently 346 entries so it's hard to pick a favorite, but here's some highlights:

Fried Egg Jellyfish (Phacellophora camtschatica) It looks like an egg. It's great.

Predatory Tunicate (Megalodicopia hians) Most of it's relatives are vase-shaped filter feeders, whereas this one is anything but.

Red-lipped Batfish (Ogcocephalus darwini) Just look at this thing. Who put lipstick on it.

*

Annnnd that's about it. Sorry for the long posts, I have no idea how to be concise! Thank you so much for the kind words! It's honestly surreal to be here.

Tumblr Asks Around Mental Health & Personal Information

Helllooooo~,

I am very appreciative of those of you who send me asks. When I first started this account, I never expected the joy that would come from hearing from you all. To this day, I love being able to read your thoughts - whether it’s fun headcanons, silly jokes, ask games, discussions about writing, or just in general gushing about pokemon and shippings that make us all happy.

I recognize that a certain level of comfort and trust is essential in creating a welcoming community space around asks. To be continuously entrusted by you all is something I am both grateful for and work to uphold mindfully - both for the asker themself and the larger community who views and potentially interacts with the ask/asker. I often deliberate these types of things in the "background work" of running this blog, but feel that it's important to address certain themes that have recently come up in my ask box. Last night, I had received an emotionally vulnerable ask that had disclosed particularly sensitive mental health themes. This ask was on anon, so I unfortunately am unable to follow up privately. Anon, if you are reading this: please know that my heart goes out to you and I am genuinely saddened to hear what you're going through. Since your ask is anonymous, I am unable to follow up with you directly without publicizing what you have shared, and I am opting against this out of respect for you and to protect your privacy. I am touched that you feel a sense of safety with me, and I am both rooting for you and hoping your situation gets better. I've also written what's below for both you and anyone else who may resonate:

If you or anyone you know are going through a particularly tough time, I highly, highly recommend to seek mental health resources - including nonprofit agencies and regional crisis lines, as needed. I am unable to generate specific lists given the broadness of my following geographically, but please know that these anonymous and/or confidential resources do exist and you deserve professionalized support. You can often begin to find them online by Googling things such as "Free crisis lines" or "[location] mental health resources/nonprofits", "mental health resources for [concern]", in addition to connecting with a therapist through insurance or sliding scale payment. That being said, please understand that I am unlikely to respond to asks that disclose salient mental health concerns, personal or revealing information about the asker, or other content that may be hurtful, distressing, or inappropriate for a general audience. My hope is to continue to contribute to this culture of safety we have all been building together as we celebrate and enjoy each other and our shared interests. Please feel free to leave an encouraging comment for anon & other folks of the community. 💕

with love,

dipplinduo

Hello there! I'm currently combing thru various Hetalia character tags and counting the ships that appear for any individual character, and I'm considering doing a write-up like how I see you make them! I'd like to ask you how do you go about formatting/presenting the information? I made a pie chart n everything!

Hi -- that sounds like an awesome project! Very cool. :)

I'll share what I do for data visualization, but I'll also say that there are other ways to do all of this, and depending on your goals, other ways may be better. So this isn't a recommendation -- just insight into my own process.

I use Google Sheets (similar to Excel) to gather/analyze data and to make graphs. (Many other programs/methods would work and have various pros & cons, so if you have a different favorite/you've already made your graphs, no problem! I use Sheets in part because it's easy to share to make my data broadly accessible.)

To get the unified look of my fandom stats -- and because I often want to add additional notes on top of/next to my graphs -- I copy/paste the graphs into Google Slides and add notes/titles/etc there. I have a slide theme that I use to made to get my particular Toastystats look; here's a more generic template of it that you can edit/use yourself, if that's helpful. I like to use it to put a border around my slides (so that if it's on a white background you can still see the edges) and to put my blog credit and the date at the bottom (useful in case someone stumbles across it years later and doesn't realize the data is old, or wants to ask you questions). If you want to change any of the defaults in these template slides (e.g., change the colors or fill in the footer text), you'll need to use the menus to go to "Slide -> Edit theme".

After that, I export each slide as a PNG image ("File -> Download").

---

I will also make a quick unsolicited suggestion about pie charts, which you can feel free to ignore: I use bar charts most of the time. I only use pie charts only when I have a bunch of different mutually exclusive categories that add up to 100% -- basically when I can think of the data as creating a "sensible whole pie."

So, for instance, imagine a possible pie here as "Fanworks where Character X is tagged." And I want to show how many of those fanworks have different ship tags. Well, multiple ship tags probably sometimes get used together, which means that actually some of the pie slices (i.e., the ships) should be overlapping, not separate -- and overlapping slices make for weird pie. :) Also, there are probably a large number of Character X tags that don't use any of the ship tags (which at minimum should mean I would also want a large "Other fanworks" slice of pie, if I did use a pie chart). Because of all this, I would probably choose to use a bar chart for that data.

---

Feel free to ask more questions if you have them (I recognize that many parts of this could be be confusing, depending on your particular background), and good luck! :)

[why-raven]

about me — people i’d like to know better.

LAST SONG. “Trickster” and “Showdown”, both songs by the Japanese band FIVE NEW OLD. They are opening themes for the anime HIGH CARD, which I finished binging just last week. The songs incorporate a lot of English lyrics—the main vocalist, HIROSHI, is a fan of Western culture since young. His English pronunciation in those music videos are pretty good. A quick content warning about the songs involving poker card themes, to err on the safe side.

FAVORITE COLOR. It’s hard to pick just one specific color, since I’m a fiend for graphic and web design… I’d say monochrome—all the different shades of gray, including white and black. I like neutral colors most since they’re very versatile when combining with other colors to make palettes for my design ideas… and well, it also makes clothing coordination fairly straightforward, because I can’t be bothered to spend time thinking what to wear every day, you know?

CURRENTLY READING. Wuthering Heights, by Emily Brontë. When I first read this book—as a teenager and merely out of curiosity, I recall—I was fairly disgusted by the characters, especially at the raw violence and toxic relationship between them. Now that I’m older (and hopefully wiser, I dunno), maybe my opinion of this novel will change. We shall see. I don’t recommend this book to minors because it’s a disturbing read, and I’m saying this from personal experience, lol.

CURRENTLY WATCHING. Odekake Kozame (en. Little Shark’s Outings). It’s a short animation series depicting the slice of life of a very cute baby shark called Kozame-chan. It’s based on a collection of short comics by Japanese artist Penguin Box, which were originally posted on Twitter. It was later picked up for serialization by Kadokawa Corporation and Enterbrain for their Aokishi magazine since October 2021. I highly recommend this wholesome series to brighten up your day and help you stay positive!

SWEET, SAVORY, OR SPICY? Sliding between savory and spicy depending on my mood of the day. I don’t like sweet stuff, and usually tend to avoid them unless I really have to take some.

RELATIONSHIP STATUS. Single and happy to stay this way. I’m not stopping my muses—especially Yiuno—from trying to find a partner in life, though.

LAST THING YOU GOOGLED. I don’t keep track, honestly. I mainly use Google search like a dictionary. I mean, at least it’s ad-free, I guess?

CURRENT OBSESSION. Aside from my muses (I’m forever and always obsessed with them), I’d say dark academia—with sprinkles of Victorian and gothic aesthetics. And maybe a bit of witchcore and vampcore.

Thank you very much for the tag, @miqojak! It took me a while to fill this up because I tend to write a lot, just like you.

[djsherriff]

I should really start posting more about my ocs/original ideas instead of fanart (maybe it’ll stop my brain from having Rayman brain rot) so uh, have some short plot descriptions

Untitiled magical girl isekai

Current progress, not much but currently the one I’m most likely to do something with

Stella Cross is an ordinary teenage girl who finds herself transported into another world full of mythical creatures and magic, Stella learns she is one of 7 chosen to awaken the world’s sleeping princess and unify this divided world.

Of cause, it’s easier said than done

Agents of Wu Xing

Current status (inactive) work in progress

Inspired by 2000s cartoons such as Xiaolin Showdown and Jackie Chan adventures, as well as the Adventure Bros, Agents of Wu Xing is an adult action comedy focusing on five young adults as they train to master one of five elements (Wood, fire, earth, metal and water) and hunt down mythical keys to ensure that Xiangliu is never free to unleash unspeakable evil upon the world. Of cause as all 20 somethings do, they get up into various hijinks, friendship dramas and debates on internet memes.

Also there’s a group of villains with a Chinese Zodiac theme, idk how else to add that.

I did a blog for it back in 2021 for a uni project you can find here and had a Google slides for it but I accidentally deleted it and I’m forever heartbroken over it ;-;

Little Pink Magical girl hood

Current status, just an excuse to draw fairytale girls?

Little Red riding hood but she wears pink instead and the big bad wolf was actually just a socially awkward gremlin GF, also Pink has magic powers maybe?

Debating if there be a larger plot involving other fairy tales/folklore characters or just make each one a separate plot unrelated to Pink Hood, perhaps all set in the same world though?

Palette Witch

Current progress, 🤷‍♀️

Iris is the guardian witch of a small town called Inksmouth which is home to toons of various kinds, though her closet companions is Julius the cat, a street wise feline who smirks to hide his fears, and Fanny the rabbit, Mayor of the town who worries for everyone’s safety.

Inksmouth is surrounded by an ocean of darkness and the town folks has lived in darkness for so long they don’t remember what natural light looks like. The town is repeatedly under attack by disfigured monsters from the sea, which Iris must destroy with her paint brush in order to protect her home.

But when a glowing light falls from the skies, Iris’s perspective of both herself and the world begins to shatter

Frame by Frame /Toon mates

Current progress, just a concept

Cartoon and anime characters from various genres find themselves as apartment roommates due to the difficulty of paying rant on their own, but can they learn to live with each other’s differences or will tensions rise between them?
