I promised you Bats and I have delivered! Sorry he's having a bad time though c':

This moon is sad but I really love it tbh, I enjoyed getting to explore all the kids personalities a bit better! Also yes, Dart is- what we in the business call- a bit clueless /affectionate

FOG TIME!! I drove through a huge fogbank for nearly an hour in August and since then i have desperately wanted to draw a foggy moon. Moon 6 was already colour coded by that point and this one made sense, so I went with it eve

Kindred of the Mammoth is on Comicfury as well!

I can’t help it guyths <\33 I’m once again thinking about jnh (but mostly hyde) and how he is in “love”

with Lisa being the only person he gen cares about in this AU, he kinda spoils his own happiness (as hyde) with organizing and stressing over how he will make her his and get to keep all the other benefits of being hyde? Idk bru,,, I’m so sleepy <\3

anyway, she sort of becomes an obsession for him? Not a dedicated one (atleast, at first), but whenever he’s near her he tries to charm her. I’ve already sort of spoken abt ts, but his goal is to possess her in a way…it becomes clear that Lisa is the only thing he can’t keep in the form of hyde??

Though, for Jekyll it’s a necessity that Lisa loves him, for hyde it isn’t

About a year ago I played Dungeons and Dragons for the first time (which may come as a surprise; but the issue was that for a long time I didn't have enough friends). Although unfortunately we were never able to finish the campaign, I did a few drawings of various scenes. There were only three party members (a half-elf fighter, a dwarf barbarian, and a tabaxi monk) and none of them were very good at anything, but it was a good time.

can you doodle four in an apron if it's not too much trouble ?

I maintain that Lucy not having a true best friend outside of Tim is a detriment to her. If she had a person like that in her life, they could basically confront her about what she's doing with Tim, what she's feeling, and push her to make some decisions instead of waffling back and forth. Even just having the conversation so the viewers could understand her motivations more clearly would be helpful.

[teenytinyperpetrator]

I need to draw more I'm happy to have some motivations again

in the spirit of mermay or smth idk

ocs belong to @chaosduckies for their birthday challenge sorry for the terrible picture I'm not good at taking pictures

[pebblemae]

Just met another player on Sky. They were deep calling butterflies and I tried to emote to tell them not to. They brought out a table and we talked! They didn’t know deep calling broke the butterflies for other players, but apparently for them in PlayStation, the emote doesn’t work at ALL. So now their only option IS to deep call if they want dye!

This whole butterfly problem has had so many bugs and it’s so sad to see everyone confused or frustrated. I’m REALLY hoping TGC fix this issue soon.

If the butterfly emote doesn’t work for you (whether the emote itself or it doesn’t show up after burning the dark plants) I encourage you to report it on the Discord. I can’t promise it will get fixed, but hopefully if enough people bring it to their attention, something will be done about it.

i let it in and it took everything

*This* close to saying FUCK IT and YOLO-ing a Steam Deck OLED to just finish my damn BG3 playthroughs and other games in the library (At this point I can only game 1-2 hours at night because my room and living room are furnaces in the daytime even with AC on TY GLOBAL WARMING)

But the adulting side keeps pulling me back from the edge ;3;

The 29th of March was apparently International Mermaid Day sooooooooooooo……

Mermaid Luminary because who hasn’t thought about this? XD

[a-dauntless-daffodil]

I curse you for this angsty thought but

Combining spear baby AU and Mortal Vaggie AU. When an exorcist is killed, they die like normal. But when they die of old age...they change back into whatever weapon they were, ready to start the cycle over.

Even more painful if that weapon would always look like vaggie, but...none of the memories.

ok FINALLY i can get this out of my head, strap in-

Spear child AU Vaggie finds out that even if SHE can't hold her kid without cursing them with memories of blood and every time she used them to kill- at least her kid can hug HER (after a lot of coaching for both them from Charlie) without any murder memories for the kid...

but Vaggie remembers, suddenly, being the weapon of the Exorcist her spear was before that heaven born woman hit the end of her lifespan

Vaggie remembers the kill that turned HER, Vaggie, from a weapon to person, her wielder's final words, an old Exorcist proudly using the last of her strength for one last Extermination day, refusing to fade out quietly up in heaven- struggling to hit that unspoken quota- enough Sinner's killed and enough demonic energy soaked up and purified into a NEW soldier of heaven, a soldier to replace the her as she crumbles into ash and that first moment of life as new born Vaggie instinctively caught the spear as it fell-

in the Mortal Vaggie AU, imagine her horror realizing she will BE a weapon again after death-

(no matter how much she wanted to be Charlie's armor in life. She's an Exorcist. She was made to kill)

unless she's killed before then, violently, while she's still herself.

And she can't ask anyone to do that- Charlie, her friends- (her spear kid??) she doesn't WANT one SECEOND less time with them than she can get, will NEVER stop fighting for her life with them

but it's terrifying, thinking how someone ELSE might pick her up afterwards... the husk she came from (no personality traits are passed down between incarnations) (the only memories an new Exorcist is born with are the deaths that fanned the fames of their new battle forged lives) an inert tool, unable to stop herself from being used to hurt people

the weapon left behind by her natural death will still be PART of her. And she doesn't want any part of her to go back to being what she was. She never wants to be a weapon like that again, blindly used to hurt and kill and wipe souls from existence while they run screaming

she has to keep telling Charlie- No. She doesn't remember anything from the incarnations before her

no there isn't... isn't any chance of her coming back. Not as herself.

Charlie and that hopeless desperate wish-

(what are a few more thousand dead, really? In the timescale of heaven and hell and all creation, in comparison how many have already died, when weighed against all the GOOD Vaggie has done and still wants to do-)

(all the pain Charlie doesn't want to face in losing her)

Vaggie asks for her weapon form to be destroyed after her time runs out

she begs Charlie to promise her-

Destroy her, it, melt it with hellfire, or re-forge her weapon self into something harmless- she wouldn't mind being a shield, if there's enough metal in her weapon form for that. She would love the thought of still being able to protect the people she loves

that might be to hard (emotionally) or not practical, physically speaking, and that's fine too. Just. Don't let her stay a weapon

Vaggie, getting older, feeling her age long before the other Exorcists will because she refuses to go back to heaven, can't stomach the idea of wasting one moment of her life up there or worse- fading out there far away from Charlie

She makes Charlie SWEAR to unmake whatever's left of her. So NO part of her can EVER be used as a mindless weapon again

and Charlie promises.... and Charlie....

breaks the promise

(her one worst sin will always be reckless Hope, all consuming Love) she incorporates Vaggie's weapon into her own trident instead, and sure she doesn't go OUT of her way to kill with it-

she doesn't hold back either, whenever the time comes

their daughter was born from a mix of sinners deaths, mixed, balanced, purified by the angels Vaggie killed later

Their daughter is getting older too- not as fast as Vaggie was- more divine energy stored up in her, gotten direct from the source instead of just used to to transform the power of hell into something heaven could use- but she IS still aging, and faster than Charlie is

if this is just "how things work" then Charlie going to have to watch her daughter die too someday. If she isn't killed, she'll outlive her child.

She can't.

She can't hide behind a shield apologizing anymore, Vaggie's not here to be the one who stabs attacking angels so they stay DOWN- Vaggie is dead and if it's forever then their daughter will follow her

Charlie has to do it, for both of them. And the hotel. She has to kill. It's just practical, just self defense, just a little not-quite lie about what she did with Vaggie's weapon-

(it was damaged. Chipped in a small but noticeable way)

(her missing eye-?)

And if part of Charlie keeps count while this desperate little hope flutters at the back of her mind, wondering if maybe... just maybe....

no, though

One day she finds herself suddenly holding the hand of a confused and bloody but ready to fight Exorcist in the middle of a battle, and it's not. Vaggie.

They know how to kill. They don't know who to be killing

(hellborn and sinners and angels, Charlie's had to stop so many people, wondering- worrying- if that would help or hurt the chances of Vaggie ever-)

The new Exorcist attacks everything in sight

Charlie's friends, the other Exorcists, Sinners, it's all she can remember, blood in red and glowing gold-

not Charlie, Charlie is familiar (no but not like THAT) the hand she woke holding and caught her when she staggered, band new to being able to move on her own, arms and legs and wings and one eye missing

Charlie's the one who grabs her mid attack and stops her with a hug that'd break a sinner's back-

Charlie, wiping away the blood on this stranger's confused face, tracing that scarred and empty eye she knows SO well and whispering a name with so much HOPE

(not seeing the horror on her friend's faces, the devastated shock from her daughter)

It's not Vaggie.

Even if she looks exactly like her, the answering twist of her face is new and she does something Vaggie never did- she pulls away, looks away, looks at the Exorcists all stopped and grinning (people like her, the same wings, black and white and powerful with every feather clearly marked with purpose)

a bell tolls and the Exorcists retreat back towards a gate in the sky like a burning wheel of light, matching the far off spheres of heaven, and the new Exorcist flares her wings to follow them-

Charlie stops her, that first time. Desperate. Still hopeful. Maybe Vaggie just needs time to remember...?

Charlie doesn't stop her later

it's the best option, really, even if it means being as alone as she was before meeting Vaggie

more alone than that, even. back then she didn't have so many friends avoiding her and her... "thing"... she didn't have a daughter moving out of the pride ring altogether to get away from her. Back then she could tell herself it was only her parents separation that left alienated her dad from her, instead of Lucifer being torn between his daughter and his grandchild. She hadn't known what it was like to have a partner, before Vaggie, and now without her she doesn't know how to live without one

she knows she shouldn't have done this. She shouldn't call the woman by her dead wife's name or keep showing her bits of a life that'd never been hers

so Charlie makes a promise, again. And keeps it this time. She talks to heaven, finds a way to get the new Exorcist up there-

(SHE PROMISED VAGGIE SHE PROMISED HER)

-even though Vaggie wouldn't want that. Not a weapon. Not again.

(vaggie would have asked her to kill the new exorcist instead)

Charlie knows it even a she lets the Exorcist with Vaggie's face and voice and missing eye fly away, off through the portal to a life Vaggie wouldn't have wanted any part in....

but if it's not Vaggie, then it's the stranger's life now. Hers to choose

(a nice thought to hide behind. In no world can Charlie destroy any part of what was once the woman she loved)

And if maybe this stranger IS in some small way Vaggie... maybe... maybe THIS will help her remember. Maybe pain will do what Charlie's soft words and hands couldn't do

Up in heaven though...

a scarred Exorcist is a damaged weapon, is a weaken one. This Exorcist has killed sinners and hellborn and ANGELS, she knows the taste of divine blood

She looks at the angels around her the way her sisters look at demons down in hell. As prey

Lute notices

Lute doesn't trust her with a weapon, doesn't trust her down in hell. Lute remembers the feel of the spear at her throat- and that woman is GONE, but- this one came from hell. Came from the Morningstar demon bitch. Can't be trusted not to be tainted by all that

The new exorcist gets put on spy duty instead. Go work for Emily, supposedly. Watch over "reformed" sinners up in heaven

(Sir Pentious, flinching every time he sees her) (reminiscing about a friend he knew back down in hell while casting her nervous, painful glances)

Watch and report back to Lute, pretend to be the bodyguard of the souls who got a second unfair bite at the apple-

ACTUALLY be their bodyguard, when the moment comes

When Lute hits her breaking point and Sera is swayed by fear of a threat from within, a new line drawn, when the Exorcists turn on the angels who don't REALLY belong in heaven, who will never REALLY have earned after failing once- trying to kill them again

and the instinct kicking in

the woman with Vaggie's face and how RIGHT it feels to fight angels- finally that sense of purpose coursing through her, the golden blood, someone cowering behind her and she spreads her wings and-

PROTECTS

(Charlie killed with her so many times. Never out of hate. Always a last resort. Always trying to save more people than she hurt)

(a sideways, unknowing way that Charlie kept the same promise she broke- that part of her Vaggie loved and wanted to share in, the urge to help, to defend, even in a world that demands killing as a price of stopping more death)

The woman with Vaggie's face isnt and will never BE her

but she and Emily are the reason the reformed souls aren't slaughtered up in heaven

Charlie's hotel (no, always "their" hotel to her) is suddenly full of old friends and their friends, their families from up in heaven, angels leaving in disgust through the same portal as the truth of heaven's lie is exposed to ALL of heaven now, not just a court of those who made it what it is

and it's. Maybe something Vaggie would love, if she could see it

It's Charlie's one last time reaching out to the new Exorcist, offering her a place in the hotel too...

and it's Charlie taking it in, what it means, when the woman with Vaggie's face chooses to stay up in heaven

the woman who isn't Vaggie- (Vaggie never would have left) (NEVER would chose heaven over hell)- explains heaven is where most angels are, after all. And she likes it quite a lot- making angels bleed

(she's a weapon)

(Vaggie worked hard to make herself into something else. and she did. and now Vaggie's-) (Dead)

Charlie hopes Vaggie would be okay with this, somehow.

Or maybe it would have made Vaggie sick, watching Charlie get left behind (left alone again) by someone wearing her own face

...SO!

*slotting this in deliciously with the spear baby au stuff*

alright what we've got so far is...

Exorcist weapons soak up the demonic energy of the sinners they kill, carrying it back up to heaven with them where divine ointment or whatever is used to clean them afterwards, turning the demonic energy into something they can slowly convert into actual divine energy

Once they get enough kills and power, the weapon incarnates as a new heavenly soldier, specifically suited for visiting and fighting in hell

Their current Exorcist form lasts a set amount of time, and would start wearing down if they weren't given halos to supplement their slowly dwindling power

the halos keep them "young" up until the moment they fade away into ashes and weaponry again

they ALSO finish converting the Exorcist's demonic energy back into it's base form as divine power or the "force of creation" used by the higher ranking angels like the Seraphim

Basically redistributing power from hell to heaven AS WELL AS reducing the population of sinners

without the halo the demonic power just slowly bleeds out on it's own and gets absorbed by whatever's around

(AU NOTE: this would mean a bit of Vaggie's power probably got incorporated into the things and people she spent the most time around- Charlie, her spear which later turned into her kid, the hotel, her friends)

The SHAPE of the Exorcist continues with the weapon they're born from, but they lack souls, and no personal memories get passed down between incarnations

Since they are being built up from the kills they're used for though, THOSE memories are the only ones the new Exorcist is born with

Damage done to an Exorcist with heavenly steel carries over into the weapon they come from, and the next incarnation they take

Weapons that get damaged before they take enough lives to spawn into a new Exorcist are probably melted down to make a new weapon instead

That didn't used to happen very often though, because Adam encouraged abandoning any weapon that gets so much as scratched or tweeked down in hell- he didn't like the idea of his girls being less than exactly how he wanted them

Lute stops that after his death and the revelation that heavenly weapons can kill angels

Normally the Exorcist weapons incarnate as fully grown women, ready for action just like the weapons they come from

Spear! baby had a gap of several years with NO new kills powering them, and Vaggie wasn't trying to fill any quotas afterwards, so the energy build up was erratic and kill counts lessened bc of fighting next to Charlie. Being around Charlie in and out of battle, and near her half-seraphim power, also meant some of that was slurrped up, resulting in a form that WASN'T ready for battle but COULD absorb more power even after incarnating, letting the Spear! baby grow up as she gathered more passive energy (and later her own kills)

If she killed angels regularly enough or moved to heaven she could probably stay young for her entire life. But she isn't so she won't.

The other weapons abandoned in hell didn't get any divine cleansing to convert the demonic energy into something their heavenly steel could use, so they all stayed inert until killing angels started to be a thing.

Vaggie's was the first to rack up enough angel kills for the rest of the demonic energy to get mixed and changed to the point of spontaneous spear baby creation

Carmilla Carmine discovers that the other weapons can ALSO do this tho

She is slightly less than amused that chaggie failed to warn her

[beetlehoven]

found family is good, but found father & son is even better!!!!!!!!!!

(bonus points if the father figure is a hopeless alcoholic 🩷)

More Dungeons and Dragons sketches.

It's probably a good thing for the sake of our characters' lives that we had to cancel the campaign because none of these guys were quitters. All three of us players chose intelligence or wisdom as our dump stat on the character sheets.

[amethyst-halo]

ok so the au im workin on

i ran with a "what if barb's plan worked" idea that exploded into an au

the gist is that a month or two after barb's tour ended, poppy's been running around trying to find a way to fix it while pretending to be a rock zombie. she figures out that the perfect family harmony is strong enough to break barb's control.

meanwhile, john dory comes back to look for branch, and gets captured since he's not rock. he gets locked up, and poppy finds him and breaks him out. she takes him to her hideout (branch's bunker) and explains her plan, and jd agrees to help once he hears branch is under barb's control

they break rhonda out of where she's being kept and book it, not noticing branch followed them until he tries to get them. he ends up being tied up in the back of the car and growling at them like an animal

they go find the other brothers, unwittingly leading groups of bounty hunters right to them.

bruce is still running his restaurant, but it doubles now as a refuge for a handful of trolls that escaped. he's uninterested in them and even less so when the family harmony is brought up. but then a bounty hunter group attacks, capturing the trolls there and ruining the restaurant. bruce is pissed ofc. but they tell him abt branch and show him, and bruce begrudgingly agrees to help after branch bites him

they go find clay at the golf course, meeting viva as well. they have no idea what happened and are eager to catch up until more bounty hunters show up. the putt putt trolls hold their own but a few are still captured, which infuriates viva and she kicks them out. clay goes with them because he wants to help and also gets bit by branch

they go to mount rageous where floyd's been for a while. floyd keeps getting chased around by rock trolls trying to bring him back, but he's managed to avoid them. they find him and explain everything, and floyd quickly agrees to help upon hearing about branch. branch doesn't immediately bite him but he does still get him eventually lol

they test their theory on branch, and it takes a couple of tries but the harmony works and branch is freed. they immediately head back to free everyone else

all the while, barb has been running things but is getting more and more unsure about if what she's doing is right. she's hiding her doubts, but she thinks that maybe everyone being rock isn't a good thing

they disguise themselves as rock trolls and corner everyone in the stadium and start trying to free them, and barb ofc comes to stop them. they fight a bit but ultimately succeed when poppy breaks the guitar. music is destroyed with it, but they realize it was in them all along and bring it back

barb, though remorseful, ends up doing jail time for this but she's okay with that

yea!!! buh
