#and some other stuff it looks like... i'll have to see how that works

[where-fading-princesses-live]

Be real be real. I always loved the parallel/ mirror dynamics between Mike + Sulley and Mike + Randall. The interactions between Mike and these characters is LIT. It's GAS. In fact, Mike's reactions to this weird and bizarre little world and the relationships he develops with the colorful cast of characters is some of Pixar's best stuff. His unique perspective in the story is what really sells it. He's, hands down, the best character in the whole stinkin' movie (quite possibly Pixar's strongest protagonist after Woody in Toy Story) and I WILL DIE ON THAT HILL.

Mike Wazowski is low key ADORKABLE thats my baby i'll love him no matter what... HE IS SO PERFECTI LOVE HIM I WOULD DIE FOR HIM BABYBOY!!! don't even get me started on Randall/ Randy. Look at those fuck ass glasses! He is canonically a freak and we love him for it. NO BUT FR FR LMAO HIS NERDY FEATURES AND AWKWARD MANNERISMS HAVE ME UTTERLY BEWITCHED AND I WOULD DIE FOR HIM IMMEDIATELY they got him so scrungled up it's beautiful and so on point! Mike and Randy they’re so LITTLE GUY and SMOL BOI energy cutest monsters ever idgaf NOBODY TALK TO ME

--------------------------------------------------

On a more serious note...

What's esp. great about this franchise is seeing how Mike + Sull(ey)IVAN unfold versus Mike + RandY(all). I love how Mike and Sulley go from being enemies to friends and how Mike and Randall go from being friends to enemies. How Sulley and Randall basically reverse their roles... Sulley beginning the story as the antagonist, and Randall... er, Randy being Mike's B-F-F, of all people! The CRAZY PSYCHOTIC NUT who literally tried to murder Mike in the first movie, and now he's baking cupcakes and being Mike's Study Buddy and just being the Innocent Cinnamon Roll Smol Bean Boi......like Randall's character development came completely out of left field!

And they were roommates.

OH MY GOD THEY WERE ROOMMATES

The 👏👏three 👏👏of 👏👏them.

NOT at the same time, mind you... but that would've been freakin' hilarious. But yeah no, Mike roomed with both of them--Sulley and Randy--in one semester, Like, I am NOT coping, y'all. It may be cliche as hell but it's the Parent Trap/ Wicked premise, you guys, it never fails. Never.

Take two people who clearly hate each other's guts and force them in the same room together and watch shit hit the fan watch them fall madly in love become devoted loyal lifelong soulmates.

And Mike and Sulley are STILL roommates as we speak.

Historians will say they were ''Just Friends''. 🤣🤣🤣

Maybe so. They're also two Daddys with Big Dad Energy in their parental love for Boo.

I want to write an in-depth review/ analysis of both movies cuz GEE WHIZ I have so many thoughts........ 😬

So, uuuuh... Monsters at Work when??? (I haven't seen it yet but I'm dying to!!!)

Pixar Dynamics → Randall & Mike (Monsters Inc franchise)

✦ LOST IN LIMBO DEVLOG #19 | 06.02.2025

Happy Pride month besties! 💜 Yes, this year too we'll have a Pride month piece, but it's in the making!

This month has been packed with concept art and getting the new update ready, so there's not that much to write about. Showing all the concept art would spoil the artbook, so apologies if this devlog looks shorter than it should. Don't worry, we are still going full-speed ahead! Let's jump into it!

World, meet your trustworthy sidekick, she who has had your back since the beginning—Evie!

You already know a bit of her; she likes everything related to the occult world, is a prime member of the Faybourne Waterpolo Club, and her favorite color is blue!

Evie's base sprite is finished, so now we gotta jump to her expressions. Those are fairly easy and quick (Raquel's words, not mine), so I expect to start coding kind of soon! ✨

Also, concept art on the MC's dear mom is done! So we've moved on to the sprite phase, and also started working on the concept art of MC's troublemaking grandmother. Kickstarter folks will have ✨juicy✨ previews on that content, so y'all will have to wait for a bit as per usual!

May has been Amon's month. I've been writing the first chapter of his route, as well as editing the prologue following our editor's guidelines. I think this month will be packed of corrections, and I'm excited to tackle them!

As y'all know, demo update 1.1.0 (now 1.1.1, as some characters were very insistent in partaking in some floating activities) went live! This month I've been working on patching stuff as well as refining the android build. I originally used two different projects for the PC version and the mobile one, but after lady and savior Feniks graced me with knowledge once more, I dipped my toes into Ren'py variants; and it's been going great! After publishing these devlogs, I'll start uploading the new android build everywhere 💜✨

Kayden has been working on more mini-CGs to enhance the ✨experience✨of the new prologue! Amongst those CGs, we have the Sovereign's hospitality in the shape of breakfast. I wonder who delivers it...?

So now that we've seen how the concept art / sprite part of it all works with Airyn's addition to the team, we're confident things will be up to speed in the upcoming months! Airyn works like a beast, has amazing ideas, and executes them flawlessly, with the addition of being a great friend of ours!

What else...I'm still working on my investigation plan (my PhD, hahaa...), Raquel is now taking driving lessons, and she's also been working on the Pride Month piece. We got a sketch yesterday but agreed to modify it a bit after some thought. Initially, Gael was going to be the one getting an illustration for Pride Month this year, but things didn't go as planned (Raquel was frustrated with not being able to come up with a good idea for him) and Amon has taken his place. Happens to the best of us!

Work this month has been good! A lot of concept and planning that we can't show (well, Kickstarter folks will see more of it) but that is vital for the development of the game. I'm not going to ramble a lot in this one—sometimes you've to go straight to the point!

Thank you everyone who played our 1.1.1 update; thank you for the comments, well-wishes, feedback, and everything else. Also, thanks for keeping our ask box lively and overflowing! 💜

Let's see each other around!

[mercair-just-for-a-little-while]

Well, this is it !!

It's been a while ride, hasn't it?

I really don't know what else to say, so i guess i'll just keep writing and hope that whatever i say may seem inspirational in some way or another uhhh here we go !!

I joined the UTDR fandom uhhh basically almost from the very beginning (almost), and since the very beginning, i've seen tons of people with immense talent do lots of things. Music, art, you know, the kinda stuff YOU do now.

Yeah, ever since then, that has never changed. Everywhere i go, everywhere i turn to look at, there's always at least one of you, presenting one of your amazing pieces of music and art, to the point that you're scaring me, please stop getting under my bed i'm scared /jk

Now seriously, i can't even begin to describe how amazed i am by every single thing you guys do. All i can say is... You're so incredibly talented and i'm jealous of you lol

That being said... You know why i'm here. This is my final uhhh communication, i suppose. In a little less than a day now, Deltarune Chapter 3 & 4 will come out, and with it, an era will end. An era i participated in, the only era in which i was... Important for this fandom.

I think i've said it sometimes before but, before this, i didn't really really get... Anything from this. People didn't pay any attention to me and what i did. Not like i blame them, looking back, my old stuff is freaking HORRIBLE. But uhh yeah, that definitely had an effect on my mental stability back then.

That's why i always try to support the smaller creators of the community out there. I don't want anyone to feel like their work is under appreciated, because i know very damn well how that can feel.

But now i'm retiring, so probably everything i just said has absolutely no value to you anymore, but, still... I want you to know that, even if i'm not there anymore, even if i don't repost or give a like to your stuff, i still think that you did a great job, and i can't wait to see what amazing stuff you'll do in the future.

A new era is about to begin! I know it's a little scary, things are gonna change, but that's how life is. I may be taking my leave, but with this new era, thousands of talented people, artists and musicians are about to enter this wonderful fanbase, and honestly, i'm excited to see that!

When i made Woostern almost two years ago, i made her under the assumption that, like everything else, it would be ignored. I REALLY did not expect that, because i made that little critter, i would be here now, writing some kind of goodbye letter to the insane, weird people that are now my followers. Back then, i thought i would definitely retire after making her... Damn i'm glad that didn't happen.

You guys have done something really special for me. All this time, all the stuff that i made, i did it for all of you. I've always liked doing stuff for other people more than i like doing stuff for myself. So the fact that you liked it... Really means a lot to me.

At some point though, making music and art just kinda... Stopped feeling as good before, i can't even make a single good sounding melody anymore... So now that the time has come, then i supposed this would be a good time for me to go too.

I know i wasn't the best, i know i was not your favorite artist or musican, my characters are not your favorites, i didn't even make a single thing you could ever call your favorite fanwork...

But... If i really managed to inspire someone. At least one of you... Then despite all it's ups and downs, i'd say that my journey in this fandom was absolutely, definitely, and infinitely worth it.

But who knows, maybe this chapters are the inspiration i need to get back to work! Or they maybe the complete opposite of that. Who knows.

Now, let's get over this awful emotional stuff. Some people want to say goodbye !!

* AH' REALLY ENJOYED OUR LIL' ADVENTURE, PAL! NOW WE HAVTA' GO! REACH FOR THE SKY INTO NEW HORIZONS!

cookie run - Bob Reynolds x GN!Reader

A/N: Even though I wanted to come back with a Loki fic, I finally managed to watch thunderbolts (twice in the past week) and the brain worms made me write this. Sorry, I'm obsessed with him (with all of them). I hope I've managed to do him justice and that this isn't awful as it's midnight where I am and I'm dead tired lolll. I'm very hopeful that I'll write more about these losers (affectionate). please enjoy <333

tw: one mention of vomit, one mention of meth (sign twirling chicken), two idiots in love (deserves a warning), ava's takeout box (it's gnarly ;) ), like one sentence mention of the void, talk of loneliness

words: 2017

ps: thanks for the divider!!! @cafekitsune

You’d never really thought you’d get to do this. Well, you’d already done it once or twice, but still. You were going up the elevator of the newly repurposed Avengers Tower. A novel, unexpected perk of having randomly met Yelena in a drugstore about a year ago. She’d been in New York for some odd job at the time, and had been in the drugstore by your apartment, buying gauze and painkillers. You’d gone in on a whim on your way home from work, needing some vitamin supplements, which happened to be in the same aisle she’d been in. You remember complimenting her on her hair, and how it had started up a conversation, which had led to an exchange of numbers and lots of subsequent texting. Her job didn’t allow for much time to see one another in person, but it allowed for texts and facetimes paired with nightly drinks and debriefs.

You were happier now that Yelena’s permanent home seemed to have become New York, because it meant way more chances to actually hang out. But she loved to leech off of your apartment’s proximity to a really nice bakery with high quality bakes. Even worse, she’d brought a box of brownies back to the Tower once and the one leech had turned into six.

The ‘New Avengers’, as they were now known, had even added you to some new group chat with a primary function to beg you for more desserts from the bakery. At this point, you felt like you should be getting paid at least a little something for delivery of goods to a bunch of superhumans.

The group chat had lit up with messages at around noon today with Alexei, Yelena and John asking for yet another box of chocolate chip cookies. Ava had followed by sending a prayer emoji, and Bucky had sent a thumbs up, which was his way of signalling that he agreed with the request. You’d decided to take pity on them, because they’d been on a rough mission a mere few days ago and you hadn’t seen them since their return. 

When the elevator finally opened on the right floor, you were surprised by the serene silence that greeted you. Maybe they’d all finally managed to broker some sort of ‘silent time’ deal, which you were sure Bucky in particular would enjoy. You looked around as you walked further into the open room.

“… Hello?”

A head popped out from behind a wall.

“Hey!” Bob replied, shooting her a sort of hesitant and confused smile.

“Oh, Bob! Hi… are the others.. here…? I got the cookies they begged for.”

He frowns slightly.

“Did you not check your phone…? I texted in the group chat a while ago. They sort of left on an urgent mission two hours ago.”

Your face falls.

“Oh. I didn’t check… I just went right after work.” You groan slightly, throwing your head back to look up at the ceiling in annoyance.

“Hey, hey… it’s fine, you know. They should be back tomorrow, anyways. The cookies will still be fresh.” He reassures you with a bashful smile, standing up from the armchair he’d grown fond of reading in.

You nod in response, moving over to the kitchen to set the box of cookies on the marble counter right as Bob approaches.

“You could stay.” He offers furtively.

You chance a glance at him.

“No. I mean, I wouldn’t want to impose. I’m sure it’s peaceful here without them-”

“It’s actually pretty lonely… Quiet has always made me antsy. I don’t know how you live alone and stuff.” He admits.

“Yeah… I get you. Sometimes I freak out by how quiet my place is, too. Makes it real easy for thoughts to spiral.”

Your gazes meet and you share a small smile.

“… How are you feeling? Not… joining them yet?” You ask cautiously.

He shakes his head.

“I’ve been doing better lately…” He spares a glance to you. “But… yeah, some days are harder. Just… don’t wanna risk…” He clears his throat as he trails off.

You nod and move to gently pat his shoulder, but stop short, catching yourself. You knew Bob could be a bit hesitant with physical touch with people he didn’t really know. You didn’t want to assume the amount of space you took up in his life, and so you retracted your hand slowly, acting as if you’d gone to pick some lint off his clothing.

He smiles as he sees what you were wanting to do, his cheeks warming just slightly.

He clears his throat.

“Really. Please stay for dinner. Or a movie, or something. I was dreading having another dinner alone anyway. I can cook for us.”

You smile at his generous offer.

Out of all of them, you found that besides Yelena, Bob had been the easiest for you to befriend. He didn’t open up very easily. Well, none of them did, really, but he was more particular about how he went about it. And obviously, he’d have bad days where no one could really get as much of a word out of him, so the friendship between the two of you took patience more than anything else. However, it was evident that you both wanted it to work, and when it worked, it was great.

“Yeah? You’re becoming the Tower’s very own housewife, huh?” You tease, looking over to the empty sink and the loaded drying rack.

“Hey, superheroes never talk about their house cleaner, but their asses would be toast without one.” He boasts, opening the fridge to look at the ingredients.

He tilts his head, his shaggy brown hair bouncing slightly with the motion.

“Uhh…” He pauses, assessing his options. “Do you feel like chicken?”

You snort.

“Is that all you guys have in that massive fridge?”

He shuffles some things around in the fridge, checking for more dinner possibilities.

“…Um, okay, yeah. There’s also a box of takeout from Ava that is slowly going bad. Might’ve grown legs by now.” He says, popping his head out from behind the fridge door to shoot you a playful grin.

You make a face.

“Chicken, please.”

He gives you that sort of endearing side smirk he tends to do as he pulls the chicken out of the fridge. You, on the other hand, move to dispose of Ava’s takeout. From the smell of it, it really could have grown legs. And ran a marathon with them, too.

You chat amicably as he cooks, making amicable small talk.

“Did you learn to make this dish from your time as a sign slinging chicken?” You ask as you set the table for the two of you.

He groans and throws his head back while stirring the chicken as it cooks in a pan.

“Why did I ever let Yelena spread that part of my CV around?”

“Spread it around? It’s only me, Bob.” You laugh.

He raises a brow. “Dangerous enough, if you ask me.”

“I’m not a secret agent or something. So don’t worry, I won’t spread that sensitive information around.”

He huffs.

“Not why it worries me that you know about that.”

“Why then?” You tilt your head. “Oh, is it because you’re scared I’ll want to see pictures? Wait. Do you still have the costume? Because if that’s the case-”

“Oh, nah. The original one had to be burned because I threw up while wearing it. Meth. And stuff.”

You burst into laughter, and he turns his head to look at you as you do, a smile making it onto his face, too.

“Okay, just the pics, then.”

“Uh huh. I’ll try to scrounge some footage up for you. But only if you swear a blood oath not to spread it around to the fellow sign slingers here. They can’t learn my technique, y’know.”

The banter flows easily, and it all feels comfortable. It’s like the minimalistic décor of this floor of the Tower turns colourful and bright and grows wings and the whole room gets warmer. Being here, with Bob, feels like getting hugged by the very air you two breathe in.

Just as you’ve started to dig in, you ask something that’s come to mind while sitting at the dinner table.

“How does your dynamic even work? All of you, I mean. Is it more… family like now? Awkward family dinner? What are we talking?”

He snorts, his fork halfway to his mouth.

“Awkward family dinner…” He mulls it over. “Yeah, I guess. I mean… we try. There’s usually at least someone missing from the table, but I think… yeah, I think we all try in our own way to make something of this place, to make it more ours. Not just like… for each individual, y’know? Think we’ve all been alone for too long to keep that up.”

You don’t even know why you asked him that, but it relieves you to hear that they all try for each other. That they, that Bob, isn’t alone anymore. You nod your head, smiling softly.

“… Is it ever lonely for you to live alone? I mean… I dunno if you have friends coming over often or something…” He says, taking a bite of food right as he finishes speaking, as if to keep himself busy.

“I mean, I have some friends coming over, sure. ‘Lena when she’s feeling particularly annoyed by you guys. No offense. Or other friends, yeah. But it’s not constant or too often. So yeah, I guess it gets lonely sometimes. Winter is worst, I find. The shadows feel longer somehow. Creepy.”

He nods, seeming perturbed by something.

“So… like no… no… permanent visitors to your apartment lately?” He asks casually, though he doesn’t seem quite as nonchalant as he might be trying to be.

You purse your lips.

“Well, nah… I’ve been busy with work, so I haven’t really had time for any sort of hangouts or anything. Is that what you meant?”

He nods quickly, quickly eating another forkful. His shoulders seemed lighter all of a sudden.

“Cool. Cool, yeah. Not the work adding up, I mean. But just the… yeah.” He shuts up after that.

You smirk down at your plate in confused amusement, and you two finish off your dinner in pleasant, if not somewhat awkward, silence.

You settle in on the couch after washing up post-dinner. You sit in the middle of the couch, with lots of space to spare on either side, but Bob seems content to sit pretty close to you. You find that you don’t mind. You let Bob pick the movie, and he ends up settling on some sort of slasher film from the 90s.

As the movie starts building up the scares, you feel him shuffle closer to you just slightly.

“… S’okay if you’re scared.” He says softly, moving his hand over the back of the couch in a slightly laggy move, as if pushing through resistance.

You look over at him.

“I’m okay for now.” You reassure him with a small smile. “Is this you saying you’re scared?”

“Wha- No. Nah.” He says with a little huff. “I mean… I’ve seen this before, so it’s fine.” He admits sheepishly, the bravado dropping slightly.

Your laughter makes the back of your head hit his arm softly. You pause, and look over at him, only to find him watching you with a small smile on his face, making his smile lines show.

You feel warm all over again and move to pull away.

“No… stay. Please.” He whispers, not moving at all.

“Are you sure?”

He nods.

“Yeah. Yeah, I want you to. I want- yeah.”

You nod and sit up slightly, just so you can sit more comfortably, letting his forearm cushion the back of your neck. You make a point of putting all your effort into going back to watching the movie afterwards. Bob returns his focus to it, too, but when he adds commentary to it now, you can sort of feel more of a confidence, maybe even some smugness, coming from him. You think it suits him.

[austinslounge]

I'm sorry, but I just have to say something.

I have tried to be nice and patient, but some of you so-called Austin "fans" in this fandom (and in my inbox) can be worse than enemies. 😒

Why do you need to put this man down and his career for like this? What is your goal? Is it to win some silly fandom wars on Twitter?

What is the point?

This man is a kind, hard-working, gracious person, who's super sweet to fans, and he's enjoying what he's been doing, he loves acting, and he always puts 110% into whatever he does. He doesn't need Negative Nancy Naysayers like yourself hating on him or complaining about his career every two seconds.

I see this in other fandoms as well. Constant criticism, negativity, angst over the career, etc.

Give it up!

Austin is doing just fine, and his career doesn't need to look like someone else's. Who cares what other actors are doing? 🥴 Everyone has their own career. Let them focus on it.

I just don't see the point in worrying about this man's career, when he's doing just fine, and in the grand scheme of things, this stuff doesn't even matter.

Why do you insist on trying to bring negativity to a man who is kind, positive, always respectful of others, hard-working, humble, down to earth, etc?

Maybe this is how people like to enjoy their fandoms these days (constant criticism, constant negativity, constant debating and arguing) , but I'll let you know right here and now that I don't want to run my blog this way. I could see if the complaints about his career or film choices were actually valid and concerning, but they're not.

Austin's film career is his career, it's not yours.

[saras-almanac]

you asked for distraciton so let's say you have the run of the show what would your ideal robert return and reunion be? i really can't wait for an affair 2.0 because that would be so amazing to see that from the other side and how aaron deals with that and robert since he's insane about his jealousy over aaron

Thank you so much for this ask as it really helped me have something to think about and now I can't sleep and figured now's the perfect time to answer this because literally what else am I doing?

But as an answer, I'll be honest I'm so incredibly torn on how I want Robert's return to the village to be in so many ways. I really go back and forth on whether I want them to have a full-blown affair or if I want that to really truly start after the John stuff's out a bit and then they fall back together and sort of sneak around about it. Or it starts as an emotional affair while Robert's still in prison, talking about a lot of stuff but also not actually talking about anything yet, you know gotta make sure these storylines stretch a lot!

The reason I'm so torn is because I genuinely don't know how they're going to play this John stuff and I just don't think they're going to go far enough with it, if I'm honest. Like it'd not that I want John to stick around, but man do I wish his jealousy causes him to like lock Aaron up somewhere because if he can't have Aaron, then no one can sort of idea. And then of course Robert who has an insane Aaron's in danger radar will be the only one to actually look for him because he just knows Aaron so well and will know something's wrong.

Or have John actually try to kill Robert before everything else has come out about John so that's a huge thing of obviously no Dingles believe Robert because for some reason they're thinking Robert is still 2014-2015 Robert and not a man who willingly went to prison for killing his sister's rapist and not forcing her to testify about it and willingly let Aaron go (forcing his hand) rather than force Aaron to spend the rest of his life visiting him. But that's a whole other issue. If this happened, then it could prompt Aaron to actually start thinking because he knows Robert loves him still and would never try and force Aaron to be with him by lying about something like this.

So basically I don't really know how exactly I want Robert's return to the village to go and/or John's killer reveal to happen but I'm sure I'll probably dislike it whatever they do because John is so boring--his wedding color is beige. Like... not even a warm or dark beige or an accent color that actually pops--the light green almost blends in. Anyways, he's just so boring and I would love to see him really go off before the end.

And then the main thing I really want is that Robert deals with his prison trauma sort of after the John stuff--like Robert's able to ignore it because he's focused on hating John and being a little shit the entire time and Robert's good at having a mask, but once that's over I would love to really delve into Robert's time in prison. I sort of like the idea that he's actually been dealing with some sort of health issue that he's not told anyone about just because I feel like having something like that to work through--which obviously brings Aaron and him closer still--and Robert needing to learn to actually lean on Aaron since he never really did/could back in the old days. (Remember when Liv basically came right out and said they can't say things to Aaron because everyone's always worried about how Aaron's going to handle stuff... and then they basically did nothing really with that) But I would love Robert to be dealing with prison very differently than Aaron and from what we've seen, it seems to be the case. To me, Robert seemed really vulnerable when he was just with Aaron and just had his sarcastic mask ready to go for everyone else and I'm so interested in how he managed in prison. There's just something about the way Ryan was playing all that that felt incredibly intense. And I just don't want a repeat of too many of the same story beats they had when Aaron went to prison.

Now my biggest problem is I just don't know how any of those things will work together to actually be a reunion or whatever, so this isn't really an answer to your question! But those are things I'm thinking about and would love but we'll see what this show actually does. And I'll be here obsessing over wasted potential and what I would have done and giving them the conversations I want them to have but not necessarily on the soap...

[whatifitoldyousomethingcrazy]

So i'm pretty new to azris week and this is my first time participating in it!!!!!! 😋

So what primarily drew me to Azris was how chill and funny the community was surrounding it (love y'all!!!). It was a nice reprieve from the the insufferable shipping wars in this fandom 😫. Also I have an affinity for opposite forces attract dynamics, (ie. Night and Day, Light and Dark, Brooding and Energetic). These two would also be soooo good together 🙏🙏🙏.

2. My favorite location to put these goobers in is the Autumn Court forest. I love imagining the red and gold leaves swirling in the breeze, catching in each other's hair as they stare at each other romantically. So many things left unsaid... (Scenes like this always have me giggling)

3. Though I haven't made any solid art of these two yet, I have a few scrumptious ideas. However, I have some silly doodles of them interacting. I'm also working on a fic!

4. I usually js sit down in a comfy spot out of sight of everyone else whenever i feel like it. I draw or write on impulse, meaning I can never get stuff done on time 😔. If I do otherwise then I'll get art block.

5. My headcanon for Eris is that he often, and unconsciously, uses sassiness and arrogance to cover up his anxiety or fear in front of others. For some, this is a very annoying trait, others see right through it ofc. My headcanon for Azriel is that behind his tough, unfriendly exterior, he's actually js a rlly sweet guy who likes kittens and comfy sweaters. He's a also a lil psychotic due to all his years of being forced to torture ppl beyond the imaginings of human suffering, so now he enjoys being a torture master. 🤓 For Azriel and Eris together, I hc that since it would be their first time in a long time being in a serious relationship, they desperately don't wanna fuck it up. This leads to them apologizing profusely for minor infractions. Panic attacks, and spiraling are always a threat for the both of them.

6. Nope

7. Nuh uh (unless I decide to cosplay)

8. As I mentioned before, I usually draw on impulse whenever I've got a rlly good idea I can't get out of my head. I don't rlly have anything planned rn but I have ideas for a fluff fic and some art. ☝🤓

9. Most of my biggest art influences are on here. Some are in the ACOTAR fandom and others are in my other fandoms. Two huge art inspirations for me are @copypastus and @elleybug. Yalls art is so scrumptious, it brings me so much joy looking at it. I js want y'all to know that u r huge influences on smaller artists like me. 😋 When it comes to writing, @highlordofkrypton is one of my favorites. I adored your depiction of tamsand in "Wildflowers", and to be able to replicate the way you use symbolism and imagery would be a dream. Another huge inspo is @fourteentrout I love that you have huge catalog of Azris fanfiction that is all masterfully composed in both symbolism and characterization. Whenever I finish one of your fics I always feel a sense of completion 😃.

10. My #1 advice when starting a project js to never set strict deadlines for yourself. What happens in the real world outside of your work cant be controlled. Trying to finish a project under high stress of time limits can have negative effects and in my opinion even diminish the quality of a work. Yes, it's good to have deadlines, they can help you stay organized and on task. But you can't write a 50+ chapter fic from scratch in 2 weeks, that's js not possible in my experience. Basically, the point is, set deadlines that are comfortable for YOU. I know this seems like basic common sense but I've seen ppl try to take way too much on themselves and have terrible repercussions 😔

This was so fun!!!!

Azris Week 2025 Self-Spotlight

Only five more days until the main event! To continue fostering more community between Azris creators, instead of having user-submitted writers or artists answer some questions, creators can interview themselves!

Pretend you can see my jazz hands.

These questions are for ALL Azris creators - writers, mood board creators, artists, you get the idea! At the end of Azris Week, anyone who has filled out the below interview will get added to a master list so that everyone can see your thoughts. Feel free to add your own questions at the bottom, if you think of anything else you’d like to say about your Azris Week creations.

If you aren’t doing anything for Azris Week 2025 but want to participate anyway, go ahead! No one will stop you and you’ll still be included in the master list.

Questions

1. What drew you to Azris?

2. What themes do you explore most often in your fics? Do you have a favorite image or location that you return to again and again?

3. What is your favorite fic/art that you’ve made? Why?

4. What is your writing/drawing/painting setup? Do you have a routine that you follow?

5. Give a favorite headcanon about Azriel and Eris, separately, and Azriel and Eris, together.

6. Have you worn wigs?

7. Will you wear wigs?

8. What upcoming projects are you excited about?

9. Name some influences on your writing or art style - could be fellow writers, poets, singers, nature, etc.

10. What encouragement would you give someone who is just beginning a project? Someone who is stalled on a project? Someone losing steam/interest?

I have some questions about karaoke night, Alex Hirsch. Very Important Questions. Which I will happily scream at a poor hapless baby triangle who can have no answers for me, and possibly also does not have object permanence yet.

Follow-up that is I guess suggestive, but let's be real here, Bill's a fucking triangle:

Dude slipped right into his birthday suit, lmao

this is so stupid :D

Anyway, I don't care what anyone says, this brilliant individual knows what's up - Bill is absolutely way more of a monsterfucker than Ford could or ever will be, full stop.

oh my god I was thinking about a jayvik fallout new vegas AU and was like "hm maybe Viktor uploads himself into one of those robots until he can get a different body by like repurposing power armor or something idk" and then I remembered that this guy's name actually is Victor

somehow despite being fascinated with my jewelry all the time the kids i work with have never really looked too close at or commented on my saint sebastian medallion. months and months and months i have worn it every day and they've said nothing. until last month when one of them was messing with my axe necklace, took one look down at the saint sebastian one, and went, "is that a dead naked man tied to a tree?" and i am so glad that my boss was not there cause that is perhaps the absolute worst way to phrase it and i don't know if my answer of "... yes. but in a classical art way?" would have been satisfactory at all 😭
