something happening on a mission, something personal that has soap spiralling; panic and rage making him reckless, thoughtless, and ghost has to draw the line
“you’re compromised johnny; you know what that means?”
“you’re not pulling me out,” soap immediately snarls. he turns on him and ghost barely recognises him; venomous fear turning his eyes to unyielding ice. "you're not sidelining me; i need to be in this-!"
but ghost has never been afraid of venom; spat or dripped straight from bared fangs.
he snakes out a hand grip the back of his neck, jerking him in a rough shake. "if you can't think, you can't be a soldier," he growls and he flinches like he's been struck.
his lips quiver as they twist in a sneer and he wrenches, trying to free himself of his hold.
ghost doesn't let him.
"it means you give your body to me because your head ain't fucking attached to it anymore."
soap stills, body trembling beneath his hand as he sucks in shaking breaths.
he tightens his grip, pulling him closer and digs his forehead hard into his. “it means you give yourself to me so i can have the weapon that you are and use you the way you're meant to be used."
the ice in soap's eyes fractures.
ghost’s voice drops to a whisper, spoken only to johnny, not this facade of vengeance and pain, and wills it to reach him through the glaciers.
“so i can keep you safe ‘til it’s done and i can bring you back.”

Some older pony art! The luna I'm still really happy with how it turned out! I was using her as an experiment cause I had just gotten clip paint studio and I wanted to see how far I could push my limits with how little I knew about the program.. The twilight was a little bit of a painful process with procreate because I absolutely hated their blending brushes.
Needless to say, I'm still really happy to see how these came out! I wish I had made the background on the twilight transparent instead of white, hehe

how did frisk find clover?
did flowey show them?
i don't think it's very in character for flowey to go
"HOWDY GUYS I FOUND A MONSTER THAT USED TO BE HUMAN"
its kiiinda hinted at in one of the first comics, but for the last 6 months since the barrier broke frisk would visit flowey often to try and convince him to come to the surface.
after clover finds flowey, frisk comes down of their own accord and finds both of them!

Water Jumping Hoops
Small creatures like springtails and spiders can jump off the air-water interface using surface tension. But larger creatures can water-jump, too, using drag. Here, researchers study drag-based water jumping with a simple elastic hoop.

Ectoloader? Yes. Was this a piece meant for mermay? Yes. Am I only just now getting time to finish some month old wips? Also yes.
Sometimes when you go diving underwater for treasures, you might just find something that is a lot more surprising than any other regular treasures.
From my Little Mermaid au, I usually draw edgejeanists side of this au, and decided to doodle some ectoloader instead :D

Mmm… thinking about multiple prey on this fine evening. A group of mountain climbers on a vertical climb, all roped together and shivering in a snowstorm they hadn’t seen coming. They’re struggling to work their frozen fingers enough to continue upwards, but know that giving up means plummeting to the craggy depths below. Desperate, they push themselves to continue— though from below, the group is all suddenly made aware of three things.
A gust of hot air is the first— damp and sudden, coming from directly below them.
The next is the sound of something wet.
And the last is one they notice as they all whip their heads downwards in shock— an it’s that one of their teammates is hanging halfway out of the jaws of a monster. Their legs kick and squirm at the beast’s jaws as the others all realize that the hot air was this creature breathing beneath them in preparation to snap up their teammate.
Helpless, they watch the beast as it slowly slurps up their friend, opening its jaws so there can all see their teammate slip down, down… before the tongue bobs, squashing the predator’s uvula to the roof of their mouth with an overeager and squelching swallow— one that causes the entire team to jerk downwards with it.
Their teammate was tied to the bottom of their line, and the pred lazily swallows again, raising a hand to their throat with a pleased purr as the next prey slips into their maw and is quickly and firmly swallowed down. It’s only a matter of time before the rest of them are dragged inside.
In the meantime, the pred leans back and opens their jaws— giving an open mouthed gulp around the taut line and causing it to snake down faster.
Bonus if the pred overestimated how many preys it could comfortably fit and ends up almost too full to get them all inside, but manages with a final thick swallow and a huge sigh of contentment.
And at the end of it all… after the gulps and squeezes of so many prey being stuffed into the pred’s belly, the pred lounges with a rope dangling from their teeth. One that they’re slowly slurping up, toying with, and then swallowing with a final gluck. Sealing their prey inside.

akito is probably one of the funnier project sekai characters just as a concept because he takes himself so seriously and is like ur typical “I’m cool and tough” teen boy character but the game itself is so unserious & so is everyone he knows so he’s constantly getting stuck in Situations. His best friend is fairly serious but also is like the no.1 reason he gets dragged into shit. If I could choose one character to learn about the other unit sekais it would be akito because I want him to experience the wxs sekai so badly.
