WIPs of some of my drawings where i made a full little painting for the sketch to nail colours or values first. i thought it would be fun to do a Behind The Scenes and also show u how some drawings changed, what i kept and what i discarded and at what point i just started adding unplanned details

all these were done using a mixture of sai and procreate

more comments on The Process under the cut

eye of the otherworld is inspired by a real photo i took two weeks ago!

i soooo wanted to draw water that looked like this, weeds and all, so the original colours of that sketch were picked direct from the photo. but i wasn’t satisfied with it so i changed it using a gradient map (you can see it’s crunchy on the borders between colours). for the final, i re-painted everything again using the sketch colours as a guide so that i would not end up with the crunchy edges a gradient map will give u, and so that i could add in extra contrast over the top. the black swirl pattern in the final was an ad lib lol but i’m really happy with how it gives the impression of water or liquid even if it’s not realistic... i will try again to recreate something like this photo tho because i am obsessed. the birds were originally swans but the necks were driving me crazy i needed a bird with a shorter neck and grebes are associated with this location in canon so it was perfect. they have very funny feet. the last detail i added to this was the white flashes in their primary flight feathers (which do not occur in nature btw)

hanged man was an interesting one because it’s based on a sketch i made in 2020 when i first wrote this fun impalement scene

here is félix being impaled for the first time in 2020 by a rusted harpoon that essentially rips his human disguise off to reveal the black carapace underneath

for the coloured sketch in the photoset i re-lined this exact sketch in sai to update it to match my current lineart style, but as you can see i realised the pose itself needed work and not just a re-line so i completely redid it in procreate to exaggerate the pose and gestures. i went into this one already knowing exactly what bg colours i wanted so that was no issue but the hardest part was weirdly figuring out what he was going to be standing on. in canon he is standing on top of a very high wall and leaning back over a fatal drop. the black pencil lines in the clouds and the bird were ad libbed but i liked the idea of throwing the bird in as some extra symbol of freedom the likes of which you will not experience if you have been shot with a harpoon. the green was not working at all so the swap out to more purpley pink tones was last minute. i unified the different colours by using a colour-shifting brush (you’ll see that his gaiters are different colours - i didn’t hand pick those, the colour jitter did)

for Big Pascal... originally it was going to be a confrontation between the guy on the ground and pascal but i wasn’t feeling the standing pose and it ended up being... if not restful then at least maybe a little more benevolent than the shadow of colossus shit it was before. the white cracks in the sky were originally going to be black but it just didn’t work. a lot of people tag this one as some form of cowboy aesthetic which is funny to me. there’s no cowboys here

i do like the lens flare effect in the b&w thumbnail tbh and i think i kind of lost the low camera angle effect in the final

i drew a bonus comic of the two characters interacting during this scene (mostly the lil guy just trying to ignore what’s happening in the sky)

This was fully just me experimenting w brushes bc I've had procreate for months and have just been using the same three.

(this is my oc finnelyn and he got some mildly bad news and promptly spent the next month Wandering Around And Projecting Sadness instead of doing anything productive about it)

[locusfandomtime]

Fake logo designs of various districts/companies in Hermitcraft S8! Something about Hermitcraft brings out the graphic designer in me (*cough* it’s because I love worldbuilding and making tiny details in a world) anyway!

Design notes under cut! (Alongside some headcanons - it is quite long)

Horse Head Farms: this is the logo that started this idea basically. I got such a cool image of an eclipse with a repeated b+w horse head pattern and I really wanted to make it happen. M.C. Esher has done designs like these but as tiles, which I used as inspiration. I think I could have made it look a bit clearer but for my first time drawing something like this I’m pretty happy. The text is from one of the default Procreate fonts and kinda makes HHF look like a law firm (which is the vibe I was going for, soul-stealers and lawyers are often sorta linked in fiction, and supposedly xB and Hypno are their own legal team). xB and Hypno are the only employees other than the people they blackmail into doing stuff for them.

Big Eyes: I wanted a red eyeball as a reference to Tango’s amazing prank on Boatem and I imagine it’s a goofy little mascot for the company. Some big goofy text felt fitting alongside this. I wanted to make a Pass n Gas specific logo too but I wanted to focus on the main “districts” rather than specific shops. I feel like this is kind of obvious but in-universe Big Eyes are VERY unsuccessful and actively losing money.

Hohenzollern Castle: not really a company but Joe and Cleo are cool so I wanted to include them and I had a tiny bit of blank space left on the page so here we are. I actually really love how the sign looks, the wood texture came out nice. They don’t have a logo as much as they do a sign outside their area, created by Joe, with the text written by Joe’s dyes. The “Hohenzollern” is kinda squished because he began to run out of room but was too stubborn to split the word in half. Cleo argues that it isn’t a logo and is just a sign with the castle’s name on it. Joe argues back with a deconstruction of “what is a logo, really?” and something about companies and capitalism and Cleo doesn’t care enough to respond.

Octagon: I am a fool who initially thought it was spelt “Octogon” and had to fix it well after I finished. Oh well. I wanted this to have a very evil look about it. You can instantly tell they’re the evil tech company running experiments on the quantum realm or whatever in a Hollywood movie. Between the unsafe work conditions and the tax fraud, it is a miracle they haven’t been shut down (reason: the government is scared of Doc)

The Evil Empire: the “the” wouldn’t fit so I had to make some sacrifices. Evil Xisuma is dramatic and edgy so he wanted the logo to be in fancy black calligraphic medieval looking text. It fits the evil castle aesthetic the whole area has pretty well too. The Evil Empire is kinda like a Hot Topic store and a Renaissance Fair combined, but it is also involved with Crypto. Despite being so weird it has a perfect niche of marketing to edgy teenagers so it is quite successful. The employees hate it there because their work mandated uniform is to “dress like an evil minion”. Jevin is a slime monster, Wels cosplays a knight and Beef turned into an alien so they thankfully didn’t have to change.

Boatem (BTM): heavily inspired by Grian’s simplified logo he made in Minecraft, where he shortened it to BTM. Despite already having a reference to work off, this was the hardest design. I knew I wanted it to be simple, all-white and leaning back dramatically but I spent ages fiddling with it. Boatem is the most successful company, being perfect for the general public and their shopping district a tourist destination in of itself. It nearly went into bankruptcy when Mumbo was CEO but has been very successful since his Robot took over.

Zedaph Laboratories: my favourite design. Hand writing the text was a nightmare but it came together nicely other than that. Sheep symbol because sheep are his brand. I used the same colour palette as his laboratory. “Laboratory” is misspelled for two reasons: 1) I realised my mistake too late to change it, 2) I think it is completely in character for Zedaph to not know how to spell laboratory and only realise after Tango points it out and be forever haunted by his mistake. Don’t let the sleek corporate design fool you, Zedaph is still wild and is the only person in the “Zedaph Labratories”.

just watched 2001 space odyssey and have some shower thoughts. This is me processing wtf i just watched

I've been studying theology lately and the genesis narrative bc I had to read paradise lost for school; im thinking about how this film starts us off with the dawn of man (scientific narrative as opposed to the christian one) and still this operates as a genesis narrative; here we see how the ancestors of humanity lived; what instincts were natural (the eros drive as seen by the children-> reproduction makes sense, the thanatos drive as evidenced by their defense/warring over resources)

I think much in the way the biblical genesis narrative focuses on virtue and morality, the scientific narratives about how we came to be are always interested in what is base instinct to us and what instinctual practices "then" seem familiar to us "now" (at least, that's what i was focusing on during the movie); and one of the questions concerning human evolution is how did we evolve to the point we are at now, coming from ppl who are rlly just animals in an ecosystem? And i think of the classic conspiracy that aliens had an input or smth which obvs... is relevant here

The first monolith is unknown but I think it has the symbolic purpose of harbinging technology, which makes humanity more familiar bc we know humans are unique in how much theyve harnessed technology ((why the bone transition to a spaceship makes sense)).

Near immediately following this invention of the weapon, we see the first murder; it is brutal, it is violent, it is scary, and the people who commit it are scared of it too

I think this sets an important precedent. Thruout the rest of the movie, every death we see is a murder: HAL kills an astronaut, Dave kills HAL, the monolith kills(?) Dave.

But the last part isnt a death, bc it isnt a murder. not entirely, at least. I think the sequence to retrieve that floating slab in space -> led to the odyssey across space-time (the trippy sequence) and in it i was thinking about how overstimulating it would be to pursue smth with sm energy, so much information, being constantly emitted, and how small man would feel in attempting to comprehend the universe and that it's ever-expanding, and I think those thoughts are appropriate to that journey

I also think this heavy energy is why Dave projects an ego into this space to comprehend the flow of time in a place that's not-comprehendable. And why that ego develops into older and older daves bc time is passing in this not-space but also he is a being that will die

I think the reason for the fetus at the end is that the monolith doesnt kill him, nor does he die of natural causes like aging, but bc he is in the presence of this altering agent that seems to consistently transform the course of things it is around: i think it sort of imbues him w that massive energy and that's why he turns into a fetus instead of dying? He also cannot die bc he cannot be murdered... perhaps he procreates w himself and transforms into the baby? life and death drive intertwined...

And then along w the transformation into a fetus of all things comes symbolism of how humanity goes on and also that the ppl on earth who are endlessly researching this monolith cannot comprehend it and so will never experience this en masse (and is it okay that that is so? all those risks and for what: an understanding? A transformation? Is that rlly the human idea of fulfilling-- and i think how satisfying that ending is to us will tell us our own personalized answer)

Hello i was wondering if maybe you could share the brushes you use🥺

Apologies for the late response, I had to hunt down all the sources for my brushes again on 2 different programs... Some of these cost some clippy points on CSP but rn there's a login bonus for them until March 13!

CLIP STUDIO:

Sketching:

ReaganS2 pen. Costs 100cp now, but it's been really helpful in how responsive and layered it is for setting up the rough sketch.

AJ's pencil set. Very useful for warmups and figure studies IMO.

Lining:

Quibbly. It costs 50 cp but it's got the perfect texture and crunch that I love in lining, super responsive as well.

Coloring:

YN Painting Brush Set. I added some color jitter to the settings to make it more vibrant.

MYNQZO brushes. Great texture, I personally use the rougher brush the most.

ETC:

Close and fill tool without gaps. This one's just a lifesaver, very good to immediately get a base layer done. There's also other versions OP for the tool made that you should check out.

Erase to remove only protrude pen and overflow. Set your lineart to reference and it'll only paint/erase along the edges. Incredibly useful (There's also the erase along edge eraser, but I prefer the former.)

PROCREATE:

Lining:

Gesinski Ink from the default ink brushes has been my go to for years, with a touch of scattering to add texture. Lately I've been experimenting with the Ink Bleed brush as well.

Coloring:

This brush pack from roseflarea on twitter has been really good, especially love the pastel brush.

If you're willing to spend some money (like 8.50 USD or so) this ghibli inspired brushset is very good for Nature/Landscape pieces. It also includes video timelapses and tutorials. (Also compatible w PS/CSP)

Cityscape brushset by Devin Elle Kurtz on the other hand is super helpful with more urban backgrounds, it's free and compatible w CSP/PS

Devin Elle Kurtz also has a very nice foliage pack that's free as well and compatible with Procreate/PS/CSP, check it out!

Nathan Explosion • NSFW Alphabet

- - -

Author's Note: Nathan won the poll! Luckily I already had his written out so I can update or whatever to it. Next up is Dick Knubbler...

A = Aftercare: Only known to you, and maybe his bandmates - not really - he's a softie. He won't go out of his way to spoil you, but he'll stay behind to cuddle/spoon.

B = Body Part: Your hands, mainly how small they are compared to his. Nathan finds enjoyment in holding them in his palms ... and watching you give him handjobs. On himself, his arms.

C = Cum: In your mouth or on your stomach. He's hesitant about procreating so he won't finish inside you unless he's wearing a condom.

D = Dirty Secret: Nathan, despite hating the idea, wants to breed you. He's the most territorial of his significant other, maybe even a little more than Toki or Charles.

E = Experience: Nathan was a jock in high school and likely had a handful of girlfriends, but never went the full way with them. Being the lead singer of Dethklok, he has many groupies. Therefore, plenty of experience, but he'll treat you more special than a groupie.

F = Favorite Position: Nathan fantasizes about putting you in a mating press. He enjoys being on top at all times, but will let you cowgirl.

G = Goofy: Nathan's serious scowl translates into the bedroom too. While he does enjoy himself, he's not one to think this is a fun pastime if he cares enough.

H = Hair: Absolutely feral down there, he only trims when it gets uncomfortable.

I = Intimacy: Nathan is a gentle giant. He'll take great care of you and show you a lot of intimacy. He isn't a man of many words, so he'll show you he loves you with actions.

J = Jack Off: Nathan masturbates regularly, just like the rest of his bandmates. He sometimes jacks off over you.

K = Kinks: Nathan's biggest kinks are size and breeding, though he rarely talks about that last one. Dominance is a must for him. He's pretty vanilla as he's indifferent or turned off by other kinks.

L = Location: The comfort of his own bedroom. Sometimes, he'll have you cock warm him while you two are in the studio by yourselves.

M = Motivation: Jealousy is a great motivator. Whenever the band or some dildo flirts with you, his possessive instinct comes into play. Something he won't mention to you: he absolutely adores seeing you in small or tight clothes despite the stares you may get.

N = No: Hitting you, he absolutely won't allow it. Nathan refuses to do anything that will hurt you intentionally.

O = Oral: Don't let this man tell you going down on a girl is gross, because this man eats pussy like life depends on it. He doesn't mind if you give him oral, he prefers it actually.

P = Pace: Believe it or not, he actually enjoys taking his time, being slow, sensual, and rather gentle. If he's in the heat of the moment, he can get rough.

Q = Quickie: Nathan is okay with quickies but they aren't a usual thing for him.

R = Risk: Nathan is indifferent to experiment, he'll only try something new when it's suggested to him.

S = Stamina: Nathan's stamina is insane. If he was given the chance, sex would last from the night way into the afternoon of the next day. It's almost animal.

T = Toys: Nathan also won't admit that needing toys in the act makes him insecure. He would rather use what nature gave him instead of the either of you relying on battery powered plastic or silicone.

U = Unfair: Nathan is a subtle tease. While he doesn't do much foreplay or verbal teasing, there is teasing with this man.

V = Volume: Nathan makes a couple of grunts, he's the quietest one out of the band in bed.

W = Wild Card: Nathan has been asked to appear in several adult magazines early in his career. He was unsure about it at first, but the band encouraged him. Looking back at it now, he's still unsure how to feel about it, saying he feels like a prostitute.

X = Xray: He may not look like he gets bitches, but honey that dick was eleven inches. /ly

Anyways, Nathan is eleven inches and no one can convince me otherwise.

Y = Yearning: High most of the time, if not all the time.

Z = Zzz: Referring back to his stamina, he could go all night into the next day. He won't fall asleep after sex, but he will by cuddling you. He adores seeing you so peaceful and pure sleeping - it's comforting.

im posting the eddie chapter of my barbarella!steve au here bc im so generous. all you really gotta know is Steve is a space explorer and on his advanced planet they only have sex w/each other for procreation and every other time they use toys and machines until he crash lands on a more primitive planet

AO3 link for those that want tags

There is a bit of Billy in the beginning but he does not show up past that.

Steve's outfit after he changes

Preview:

“Didn’t think you’d want to be alone”, Eddie said, coming to the front of the bed. “You’re all alone on a foreign planet. I’ve got to be a hospitable host.” He reached down and lifted one of Steve’s legs by the ankle.

Steve watched as Eddie removed the boot, kissing his calf through the mesh on his leg. That wasn’t one of the erogenous zones he had learned about, and yet his heart skipped a beat. Eddie gently lowered that leg and did the same to the other, kissing his knee this time. 

“Very hospitable. Are you going to take care of me all night?”, Steve asked.

Eddie let his hand brush the outside of his thigh. “That’s all I wanna do, Steve.”

Steve felt an impulse and he followed it, spreading his legs a little, inviting Eddie in.

After his romp with Billy, Steve was promptly given a land speeder and granted permission to be on his way. This vehicle was archaic. It still utilized wheels rather than hovering off the ground.

“Having a bit of friction is a better feeling. Don’t you agree?”, Billy had said when he gave Steve the keys.

Steve’s clothes hadn’t survived Billy’s hands but he had been given a sleek little red number to wear, along with some boots that matched. 

“I told you I’d wrap you up in something pretty.”

Steve had thanked Billy for his cooperation. And then he took off. Feeling every bump in the road was probably a fun experience on a normal day, but not on this day. Not only was Steve still aching from his roll in the sheets, but the fatigue of his adventure was catching up with him.

In the past day he had crashed, been shot at, traveled over the mountains, been chased down, punched out a guy, and now he was still on the move. He was just thinking about the luxuries of home, a nice long bath, a soft bed, the lullaby of his ship’s beeps and chirps as he saw the horizon of a city come up. Black buildings jutted up towards the sky.

This place looked more developed than what he’d seen thus far, but he still would practice caution. And then he saw it. Plain as day, the satellite was right there on the edge of the city.

Steve stopped short of it. The CEF emblem was shown proud on it. But it was damaged badly. Thankfully, his job wasn’t to repair it. His signal was a little weak and he was walking around the satellite, trying to find a stronger one to send his coordinates when he heard some very loud whispering coming from behind a boulder nearby.

“Who is he?”

“Whoever he is, he’s messing with my discovery. Will, do something!”

“What am I supposed to do?”

“Disorient him or something.”

“We don’t know if he’s dangerous yet.”

“There’s a literal weapon hitched to him.”

“Guys shut the fuck up I think he heard you!”

“Um, hello? Whoever that is, I mean you no harm”, Steve called out, holding his arms up.

He took a step forward but before he could take another he felt a sharp pain like something hit his head. Steve fell to the ground as he lost consciousness. He was able to hear feet approaching him and what sounded like children arguing before it all went black.

When he came to, it was to a dark room and what felt like silk sheets under him. He let out a groan and that was when the room began to illuminate. Some lamps turned on, giving everything a soft glow without making it too bright.

“Where am I?”

“Far from home, it looks like.”

Steve jolted to a sitting position, not expecting anyone to answer. But he groaned in pain at the movement.

“Whoa there, no sudden movements now”, the voice said, starting to move.

“I’m not an animal”, Steve said, feeling a little annoyed from his discomfort.

“No, that would be whoever did this to you.” A man sat by him and gestured to the fresh marks Billy had left on him.

Steve brought a hand to his neck, suddenly self conscious in front of the man before him. His wild, dark curls spilled over his shoulders. He wore leather all over him, straps on his legs and a harness across his chest. The skin he could see was illustrated with tattoos.

“Then again, my little pack of beasties didn’t do much better. Let’s get you a bath, huh?”, the man said before standing up.

Steve looked himself over and saw that he was covered in dirt and other debris. “Your beasties? What happened to me?”

“Some of the children of my court. Said they found you messing around with that space junk. Part of it fell off and conked you right on the noggin.” He went through a door and turned a light on. In seconds, Steve heard the sound of running water.

He brought a hand to where he had felt the pain and let out a hiss. So that’s why. And he could guess at why he was so dirty now if a bunch of children found him but the man explained anyway.

“They dragged you all the way here. They could’ve just called for a transport but kids, you know? What’re you gonna do?” He came out and looked Steve up and down. “Can you walk alright.”

“Yes, I should be able to-” Steve ate his own words as he stumbled but was quickly caught before he could crash to the floor.

“Careful there, sweet thing.”

“Steve. My name is Steve.”

The man smiled. “And you can call me Eddie. Oh Runner of Baths, whichever floats your boat.”

Eddie helped Steve to his feet and led him to the bathroom. It was already steaming from the hot water. Steve could’ve cried. It felt like days since he had bathed. And now that he thought about it, it literally was. He moved away from Eddie and began to undress, thinking of only getting clean until he caught their reflections in the mirror. It hadn’t quite fogged up yet and Steve could see the look in Eddie’s eyes clear as day. 

The way Eddie was looking at him was…different. Different from the way that either Jonathan or Billy had looked at him. But Steve was coming to know those looks all under one word: desire.

He slowed his hands a bit, making a little show of undressing. He was also seeing the bites that Billy had left for the first time and wondered if they would bother Eddie. Wondered if he would see him as less desirable. But Eddie’s gaze only got heavier as more skin was revealed to him. Now Steve was wondering if Eddie would replace Billy’s marks with his own.

“Now how’d such a pretty thing like you fall into a dirty place like this?”

“I um, my ship. My ship, it needs repairs.” Steve felt like his voice was wavering and he didn’t understand why.

“Well”, Eddie held a hand out to Steve and helped him step into the water, looking as content as if he was the one sinking in when Steve let out a soft sigh. “We’ll see if we can do something about that. Your satellite too. Can’t have my kids running around broken equipment like that?”

“You mean they don’t make a habit of scavenging like that?”, Steve raised a brow. Those kids seemed hardier than most, ready to take out a full grown man at the drop of a hat.

“Oh they’ve got the tendencies of a junkyard dog. But they’re also clever. Almost too much.” 

Eddie took a step back and Steve almost grabbed for him. It felt like there was a string connecting them now that he didn’t want to break.

“I’ll get you a change of clothes. Take your time.”

Steve did, soaking and lounging in the bath for quite a while before actually getting to clean himself. He even dunked his head to wash his face and hair, then stayed for a bit, just savoring the feel of being surrounded by water. At some point, when was lost in one of these actions, Eddie had left a towel and an outfit on a hanger. Steve got out and dried himself off. He looked to the outfit he’d been brought and put it on.

It was a shiny bikini set with mesh that covered his torso and legs. Despite the glittery top it was still darker than what Steve normally wore. Eddie wasn’t in the room anymore, so Steve decided to leave out and find him, possibly get a more concrete plan for his repairs.

Right away, he was met with a guard that led him to a grand throne room. “Your Eminence”, the guard bowed.

So when Eddie had said ‘children of his court’...

Eddie sat with one leg propped up on the arm of the chair. He was still wearing what he had before, but now there was a magnificent black cloak hanging off his shoulders.

“The man from the stars graces us with his presence. How was your soak sweet thing?”

“I told you, my name is Steve.” He realized he never got a chance to tell Billy. It was probably why he stuck with the pet name.

Eddie stood up and stalked over to Steve. “Well maybe ‘round these parts ‘Steve’ means ‘sweet thing’.”

Steve’s breath caught in his throat, but he was saved from answering when a door slammed open and a small horde of children came crashing through. They were shouting at Eddie, who held his hands up like he was being robbed, and then they were clamoring for Steve, asking him questions, someone even poked his side.

Eddie clapped his hands and shouted even louder than them, getting their attention and pushing himself between their curious hands and Steve.

“Alright you little monster, you can interrogate him later. It’s time to eat.”

And interrogate him they did, all through the meal that was served at a long table. It wasn’t just Eddie and the kids. Others were there also although introductions went too quick for Steve to catch their names. He wasn’t really able to hang on to the flow of the conversation until they started talking about what to do with his crashed ship and how to re-launch the satellite.

What really through him for a loop was how involved the kids were in the conversation. It was partway through it that Steve understood that they planned on actually working on it.

“Eddie told me you were clever, but I didn’t know it was to this extent.”

Eddie groaned as some very smug eyes turned towards him. “Now why did you have to go and give them an ego boost?”

“Eddie thinks we’re clever~”, one of them, Dustin he thinks, teased.

“Enough to brag about us to a stranger”, another one, Lucas said.

Dinner continued to be a lively affair and Steve felt like he’d already seen different shades of Eddie. He was a man of many faces, it seemed. When the meal ended, the kids tried to get his attention again, but Eddie tried to shoo them, saying that their guest needed rest.

“I don’t mind”, Steve said. It wasn’t often he was around children and he wanted to answer all their questions.

“Yeah, plus he’s been asleep for like a day”, Dustin reasoned.

“A day!?”, Steve exclaimed.

Mike nodded. “Eddie said we were this close to-”

Eddie clamped a hand over his mouth. “Let’s all go to the library!”

The library had physical paper texts, which Steve had only heard of. He answered the kids’ questions about his home, about the CEF and how things were done there. Every once in a while, he caught Eddie’s eyes and had to look away. Sometimes Eddie chimed in with what must be legends of the far off empire (“It’s a federation, Eddie.”) that Steve was constantly qualifying with the truth.

He could tell that the hour was getting late when they only asked him five questions a minute instead of ten and Eddie called bed time. Eddie ordered a guard to escort Steve to his quarters while he took the children to bed.

Steve took his time alone to look around the room. He saw a stringed instrument, perhaps Eddie played. There was a window that showed how high up he was. The city twinkled below him.

He let out a sigh as he sat on the edge of the bed, then spread out on it, loving the feel of silk under him. That was what Eddie came in on when he returned to the bedroom.

“Happy birthday to me.” He put the cloak on a hook, immediately softening his appearance.

Steve rose up just slightly so that he was resting on his elbows. Eddie was giving him that look again, the same one he had gotten in the bathroom.

“Why did you have me brought back here?” Steve was sure there were other rooms. It seemed very purposeful that Eddie made sure Steve came back to his own room.

“Didn’t think you’d want to be alone”, Eddie said, coming to the front of the bed. “You’re all alone on a foreign planet. I’ve got to be a hospitable host.” He reached down and lifted one of Steve’s legs by the ankle.

Steve watched as Eddie removed the boot, kissing his calf through the mesh on his leg. That wasn’t one of the erogenous zones he had learned about, and yet his heart skipped a beat. Eddie gently lowered that leg and did the same to the other, kissing his knee this time. 

“Very hospitable. Are you going to take care of me all night?”, Steve asked.

Eddie let his hand brush the outside of his thigh. “That’s all I wanna do, Steve.”

Steve felt an impulse and he followed it, spreading his legs a little, inviting Eddie in. He felt a thrill of power when Eddie practically pounced and kissed him. Steve let out a whimper born from happiness. He hadn’t known how much he wanted this until he felt those lips on his own.

Eddie leaned on him until Steve slowly leaned back to lie flat on the bed. Eddie kissed like a man dying of thirst at first, like he was trying to consume Steve, and then he slowed, drawing out small sounds as Steve was left wanting. Eddie nibbled on his bottom lip and tugged.

His kisses got a little sloppy as they moved down Steve’s jaw. Steve thought he might avoid the fading bite marks but Eddie acted like they weren’t even there. 

“Eddie”, Steve whispered against his hair as he kept his head in place, not wanting him to stop.

“Talk to me, baby”, Eddie said, bringing his hands to his hips. “Tell me what you want.”

Steve tried to think but it was hard when Eddie’s hands were inching further down. He thought about all he had experienced so far. And what he had learned.

“I want…I wanna take care of you too.”

“Oh yeah?”, Eddie grinned. “Whisper it in my ear, beautiful.” He leaned in close, his curls tickling Steve’s cheek while the other man murmured only to him what he wanted to do. If possible, Eddie’s eyes darkened even more.

Their positions had switched and now Eddie’s hands were tied above his head. He watched once again, as Steve slowly undressed himself. His fingers itched to touch and remove the clothes covering him.

“Come on, sweet thing, don’t be a tease”, Eddie said, voice a little rough.

Steve looked at him from over his shoulder. “You said you could be patient. Were you lying to me?”

Eddie shook his head. Fully naked now, Steve crawled on top of him and stroked his lips. “Use your words, Your Eminence.”

“No. I wasn’t lying. I can be patient.”

“I knew you could”, Steve smiled. His legs sat on either side of Eddie’s and he sat on his knees, just on top of the other man but depriving him of his weight and warmth. 

Eddie squirmed but Steve stilled him with a shush as his hands traveled down his body. Even back home, he never touched himself without the help of technology. And never with an audience as captive as Eddie. Eddie watched, hypnotized as Steve’s hand went to the tip of his cock.

His beautiful lips parted in a gasp like he was new to the touch. And from what he knew about Steve’s people, it probably was. He couldn’t believe just how lucky he was to be here. To get to watch this gorgeous man play with himself.

“Shit, baby. Is it nice? Does it feel good? Lemme help you feel good”, Eddie begged, his voice pitching closer to a whine.

“Yeah?”, Steve smirked, lowering himself just enough so that his bare length brushed against Eddie’s tent. “You think you can?”

Eddie nodded then remembered to use his words. “I can be so good for you sweet thing. I promised I’d take care of you.” Eddie fought to keep his hips still. He didn’t want to be admonished. He wanted to be rewarded.

And rewarded he was when Steve opened his pants just enough to let his cock spring forth. Eddie was just letting out a relieved sigh when Steve started to grind into him.

Steve didn’t even know what he was doing. It wasn’t like he could go inside Eddie this way or the other way around. But it didn’t matter. He was running on desire, not logic. And he had learned by now that there was more to sex than just penetration, than just stress relief. It wasn’t just about having your genitalia stimulated and nothing more. Steve loved kissing. He loved feeling a warm body against his, hands with minds of their own. He loved having his neck bitten and being pinned down. He loved the little kisses to his legs Eddie had done before. Not meant to arouse, just meant to be there.

And right now he was loving watching their pre cum mingle as Steve slid his cock against Eddie’s. He was indeed being a good boy. Like he had promised. So Steve would keep his promise too.

Eddie bit his lip as Steve lifted and positioned himself. Steve let out little ‘ahh’s while sinking down, enveloping the other man in a heat so sweet he was seeing stars. He felt like he could cum just like this, just watching Steve take him. Steve must be a mind reader because he was smiling down at him.

“Don’t you dare. Not yet.” Steve’s body shook when he moved. “Not until I tell you to.”

“Holy fuck”, Eddie choked out, arms straining as he willed his orgasm away. It was a tall order when a man such as this was riding you for all you had.

Steve was in near disbelief. It wasn’t unlike having a superpower. He told Eddie to do something and he obeyed. The king of this land, obeying him, a traveler from another world.

“Eddie~”, he moaned, bracing his hands on the man’s chest, then grabbing at the harness. This must be what it was for after all.

Steve rocked his hips and bent down to kiss him, taking all of Eddie’s erotic noises for himself. He could tell Eddie was close when his whimpers turned to near sobbing and it spurred him on. 

“Go ahead Eddie. It’s okay. Cum for me, fill me, mark me. I want it. Make me yours.”

Eddie’s hips snapped once. Twice. Three times and he left out a cry but Steve didn’t let him stop even as he was cumming.

“Yes! Give it to me. Give it all to me and I’m gonna-I’m gonna-”

“You’re gonna give it back to me, baby. C’mon Stevie, take it. Use me, cum all over me-”

Steve’s gasp felt like it came from his soul as he splashed between their bodies. The cum from both ends made him slide to near overstimulation as the aftershocks ran through him. When he came back into himself, he untied Eddie’s hands which were on him in an instant, touching, squeezing, caressing. Eddie was kissing the bites he’d just made, licking his sweat, burying his face into his chest hairs.

“...I have to…I have to send a message back home”, Steve said between sighs.

“And pray tell, what do you have to tell them?”, Eddie asked, still catching his breath as he looked up from Steve’s chest.

“That my work requires that I remain in person at the damage sight for a while longer.”

Eddie smirked. “You got a place to stay?”

Steve wrapped his arms around his shoulders and placed a kiss on his lips, soft but deep. “I have a very accommodating host keeping me.”

“Oh fuck yes, I’m keeping you.”

I saw your post about Sara being new to some aspects of sex (cause ye olde religious village) and had a thought:

One of the most common things you see in highly religious areas like that is the belief that sex is only for procreation, not pleasure. Which is why you gotta be married. And sometimes that gets twisted into younger folk believing that if you have sex while married, you'll have babies, but if you're not married, you won't. Cause you gotta be married to have babies, yeah?

All this is a long winded way of saying it'd be hilarious for Sara to be told that you don't have to be married to have kids by Daniela/Max and therefore wondering if she's gotten pregnant yet. Or expecting to be.

(Cause Max is a man and maybe they also told her some women can impregnate other women. She's a bit confused but she got the spirit)

Alternatively (more angst potential): She finds out Daniela and Max are married (cause lbh they would do an equivalent at some point) or that Mia/Alcina are and wonder why they have no babies yet. Cause marriage = babies.

(Several, potentially angsty, talks have to be had. Also in this context she didn't know Mia was trans, she just deadass thinks if you're married you can have kids together, full stop)

Okay, I need to touch on both aspects of this.

For the funny aspect; Abso-fucking-lutly love that.

Just the idea that they were somehow on the topic and Sarah went "At least we are not married. No fear of pregnancy." And Max and Daniela kinda look at each other. Like, yes, there IS no fear of pregnancy, but not for the reasons Sarah believes. So they tell them "Uh... Sarah, you can get pregnant without being married." And Sarah is like ":) ...What :)"

Cue the snippit version of a sex ed class for Sarah, who really only took away "You don't need marriage to have babies. Babies happen just with unprotected sex." And now they think that they're going to get/are pregnant because they've been having all this unprotected sex. Despite the fact neither Max nor Daniela have the right bits to actually GET them pregnant in the first place.

And just fucking IMAGINE them going to their sisters in a panic

"SISTERS! SISTERS!!"

"Sarah, what is-"

(Distressed) "I MAY BE WITH CHILD!!!"

"W H A T??"

Winnie and Mary almost kill Max (because he IS the man. So obviously he's the only one that could get Sarah pregnant) and him and Daniela have to explain to all three of them that NO Max CANNOT get Sarah pregnant. That just isn't how this works. They still don't fully understand, but they don't try killing Max anymore.

I do love the angst potential too, especially with Mia and Alcina but I'll get to them.

I love the idea that Daniela and Max kind of tell Sarah they're married ("married" more in a common law sense than actual ceremony, but they would probably have rings and refer to each other husband/wife), and Sarah is kind of like "Oh! Lovely! But, may I ask, why hast thou not had children?" And they're both confused but Sarah just says "Surely thou hast thought about it. What other reason wouldst thee be married?"

And... Dani and Max have probably entertained the thought before. Or at least Max probably has. He's always kind of wanted kids, but given the circumstances he's in he hasn't entertained the idea in a while. Because they can't. Unless they could convince someone to be a sperm donor, and even then Max isn't sure he'd be willing to go through with a pregnancy (because, y'know, Daniela doesn't really have the ability to carry a kid).

That whole train of thought aside, and probably to avoid going down a spiral, they'd probably just tell Sarah that they got married for love, not for procreation. And Sarah... is confused, but they do think it's a nice thought to marry without the idea of children.

In terms of Mia and Alcina, though, I think they have more angst potential.

Because I personally think Alcina has always wanted kids, and to have the experience of being pregnant and giving birth. She adores her daughters, of course, and she's very grateful they exist as a part of her life, but there's still that lingering of something missing. But now with the mutations she can't get pregnant at all (what a cruel joke because now she has a partner actually capable of doing that), and she's pretty much come to terms with it. She's grateful for her daughters, whether she birthed them or not. She still gets to be a mother all the same.

Mia isn't quite in the same boat, but let's be honest her track record with kids is... sketchy. I feel like being a parent to actual children scares her. (I think Ethan wanted kids more than Mia. My excuse for Rose being non existent in the Miacina verse is that Ethan lives and he's mainly raising Rose. Mia does care for Rose, though.)

Sarah asks why they don't have children, and their initial response is "We do?" and Sarah points out "Yes. But not with each other. Why is that?" and they're both kind of thrown off by the question.

Alcina's hit with this familiar pang of hurt, and Mia kind of fidgets. They're both uncomfortable, and Sarah staring at them is not helping. They eventually settle with "[Alcina's] daughters are enough for us." and move on from the question but now there is this lingering... tenseness.

Mia can tell Alcina is bothered by it way more, though.

it wouldnt be that hard to do a chainsaw man universe x adventure time universe crossover honestly. the only thing that would have to change is humans being more aware of magic/demons before the war

ok i was writing this in the tags but i hit the limit so its here now

and the magic in that time being stronger obv. other than thay everything fits perfectly. i think. adventure time lore is extremely complicated and i only read csm once

oh also hell is called nightosphere now. marceline coming back from the nightosphere like Hey guys this is my new bud the Chainsaw Devil oh wait what would marceline be a devil of?? and hunson? vampire devil.... actually her and hunson would probably be the same thing since theyre related. what would hunson be? soul devil maybe? since sucking souls is his whole thing. vampire devil sounds cooler tho also can devils in csm even procreate like that

would marceline be a fiend? since shes half human in at. marceline couldve been born human in this and her transformation was her becoming the vampire devil fiend instead of her being born a demon and later being turned into a vamp. if we're going with '''ooo characters come to modern day earth''' would pb be a human or a devil? shes not a demon in at but shes also very much not a human being. and i think being the Candy Devil is hilarious

what the fuck would jake be. shapeshifting devil??? thats too specific what would be a devil w shapeshifting powers. the fucking uuuuuuh. slime devil. oh hey doesnt jake turn into slime during elements. eh idk

finn is just a human. FINN IS A HUMAN WHOS A DEVIL HUNTER AND HAS A CONTRACT W PB uh no but wait what would a candy devil even help you with lol she uuuuuuuh. actually pb could be a science devil who just happens to be pink ig. having a contract w a science devil would probably be useful and his part of the contract could be something like letting her run experiments on him. im thinking shed be like makima like just running around earth no big d not being killed or anything. but still probably kept away from society as being pink doesnt make blending in very easy

marcy is a vampire fiend who manages who hold in her urges very well if she gets a steady blood supply. she also works as a devil hunter but she doesnt rlly care she just wants to be able to hang out w her friends (finn and pb and jake etc...) and have blood. jake is there too i cant think of a devil for him to be and i donoh fucking wait hes just a dog devil lmao. who can shapeshift bc fuck you idk. i have no idea where simon would fit in this hes just some guy w alzheimers ig who marceline knew as a kid before she turned into a fiend? who else is there

peppermint butler: butler devil. yk the "the butler did it" trope. ive seen someone say before that bmo is the videogame devil and i agree. phoebe is the fire devil shes very powerful. VK was the devil that possessed marcy's corpse but like most of her brain stayed. idk where denji and makima and the rest are theyre doing their own thing. maybe finn&the rest r in the us (where OOO is) and all the csm plot is happening as usual in japan

fern was uuuuuuh. ok so a clone devil or whatever cloned finn and finns clone (wait was the version of finn trapped in the sword the alternate reality finn or was he the original finn? i dont remember) died and then the. grass devil. the plant devil (plants can be scary ok this devil could be powerful) fiended him and that was fern. maybe magic man was the madness devil and betty made a contract w him bc she thought he could somehow help her cure simons alzheimers but in turn he made her go insane? god i wish i was a writer bc im going nowhere with this does any fanfic wirters wanna steal this u have my permission

Why hello there, I hope you’re having a nice trip but anyways here are my questions for you today: How do you think James or Beckett (or any other potc character)would have been like on their wedding night if they ever had one?Would they be flustered?Would they have prepared by asking married couples how their wedding night went?Would they let their s/o take the lead or would they be too prideful and try to act like they know what they’re doing even though they dont?Who would handle it the best?

Thank you! I am. (Also you have no idea how much self restraint it took not to answer your "hello there" with the "general kenobi" gif)

Here's a short list of headcanons under the cut for James, Beckett, Jack, and Lizzie. I think it's an interesting question, and these four all have their own approaches to the subject. Light nsfw warning for content themes I guess

James

• Definitely the most flustered. The man is so caught up in societal expectations and what is/isn't proper that he's actually quite nervous about the whole affair.

• He can't ask anyone for advice, dear god, but he does finally hint to Groves about his anxieties, and Groves assures him a little.

• Thankfully, he isn't insecure when it comes to his own body, so it helps you relax and feel better about yourself when he starts divesting clothes off the both of you.

• In the end, I think James gets a little lost in the moment. Starting is the hardest part, when he actually has to look you in the face and make the first move. After that, things come more naturally, if not perfectly. You're figuring it out together, but you're also giving in to whatever sensations feel good to you both.

Beckett

• He's surprisingly nervous, though really only if he has feelings for his new spouse. For him, everything feels a little fast. He went from not thinking he was even capable of love to being married, and it all kind of hits him at once.

• That being said, he hasn't particularly cared for societal standards, and is quite indifferent to the idea that sex is only for procreation and saved for marriage. He has at least some experience, though he has too much pride to ask anyone about the actual marriage bed.

• Like with James, starting is the hardest part. He actually lets you take the lead in this, and goes as far as offering you an out. Once things have started, though, he just kind of falls into rhythm and it feels easy, easier and more laid back than you would expect.

• Idk, though the more popular interpretation of Beckett is that he's a kinky little bastard (and I'm not saying he isn't), I just think he starts out pretty casually with his spouse. He doesn't care for the stigma surrounding sex and helps you feel like it's normal, and like it doesn't really require preparation or worry. Though he enjoys banter and foreplay, he also just likes to let it happen whenever it may.

Jack

• I present to you my hot take: Jack handles his wedding night the best.

• Jack isn't worried about the physical aspect. He's had sex before, and though he knows this carries a bit more gravity, the mechanics are still the same. He doesn't care whether you've been with anyone or not, either. He knows what he's doing, but he's also not cocky about it, at least this time. The wedding night isn't really the time.

• That being said, it's the emotional aspect that gets him most. He really wasn't expecting to get married -- there was a time when he might have laughed at the idea. Now, though, he's a little choked up with how much he loves you, and he's not used to it in the slightest.

• Jack makes it easy. He takes the lead and makes sure you're comfortable by saying something to make you laugh, and then you realize he's staring at you, and oh, he wants to kiss you, and you want to kiss him, and it just goes from there.

• The night feels safe with him to the point where you're both laughing sometimes and you're content in each other's arms and company.

Elizabeth

• Lizzie, bless her soul, has 0 clue what she's doing.

• She's nervous about it, which is the most nervous you'd ever see her, but she isn't going to show you her anxieties because she has some pride to her and she wants you to think she has this under control.

• She is the type to ask other people about their experiences and get her hands on whatever naughty books she can find. She isn't shy about this, really, because she wants to do her absolute best for you.

• I also think she understands the importance of ambiance, not to the point where it's over the top, but she has some candles going and a flattering night-dress on, and probably a light floral scent for the room.

• It's all quite sweet of her, though you both have to take your time discovering what you like. She's not nearly as confident in bed as she is everywhere else, or at least not those first few times, though she insists she has some idea of what she's doing.

• It ends up being satisfying as you learn about each other -- and yourselves -- in the process of figuring things out.
