"I believe people can be quite capable of change. They only need a good heart and someone to believe in them."
~Bess Sullivan-Marley ('Scrooge' reader-insert)
*she says to a rival of Ebenezer's while standing by his side*
*staring the man down--silently challenging him to say something more against her friend*
*like, "Come on--keep going. I'll shove it right down your fat gullet, you pompous ass."*
*"Go on and try me."*
*"We'll see who's left standing."*

“What are you scared of?”
Luigi felt the Star's unease fill his every being—a child shaking in a dark alley, crowding against a corner with no escape. And with a voice that stole Luigi's breath, the Star responded.
“Her.”

there is something about magic systems that borrow from a specific craft that makes them so special. Maybe it’s because they feel more tangible and it’s very easy to get swept away by the passion for the craft that is clearly written on every page.
Whether it’s the art based magic system in Witch Hat Atelier. Or the translation based magic system in Babel. Or the alchemy/chemistry based magic system in Fullmetal Alchemist.
The relation to a specific craft makes the characters passion for their magic feel so personal and relatable. Because there is magic in art, in translation, in chemistry and any other craft that people partake in. The magic system becomes a love letter towards creation and everyone who creates and there is nothing world building wise that could be more charming.

This has to be the cutest Moon Child and like one of the best pictures of BEN! Hands down!!! They're so cute💖!!
I've beeen thinking about some hcs for the Moon Children. Things like dreams, goals, and family life. This one gave me "church girl that plays in dirt" vibes. In the sense of her being a bit boyish, but also lives in a really strict Catholic household. Before going to church, her parents would bump her bob and what not. "Girl things". The actor/model part mainly comes from her looks. It's a short lived dream for multiple reasons. Ain't that too bad?
Then, I did more hcs for other Moon Children! They're all based on a few of BEN's images :D
The -loyal is a note of who's really devoted to the cult. Those who would be willing to die for it. Not to say the others aren't devoted, they're just less extreme. Everyone in this post is a loyalist except for one who has a lot of conflicting feelings.
Warning for s/a and blood
This is just a piece on the type of mistreatment that would happen. The people in power aren't always best. Even if some are """nice""", they won't do anything to stop this. Which makes sense; the cult was founded on and carried out super unethical practices. Abuse would certainly be rampant in these circumstances.
It's a cruel form of punishment, but effective at keeping people in line. No one wants to be around the rule breaker and no one wants to be the rule breaker. A very normalized problem in this cult that always has an excuse to justify it. Still, there are some members who comfort another, even if it gets them in trouble. This is a family, after all.
Which gets into my next part. Yes, they're like a family, but not all family members like eachother. Those differences have to be set aside when you're stuck in a hivemind. It's the mindset of "The person suffering beside you didn't cause your suffering." Priorities! They only have eachother and their emotional baggage.

Somehow I forgot it was Arthur who introduced Jack to Lucy. Kinda funny if you think about how their relationship will later evolve - what a massive cringe fail guy 😭
I love how the first description of Seward is "hot rich successful doctor who's smart and cool", and then when you actually meet him, he's just the most pathetic wet cat emo guy who really needs a good nap and a hug. I love him lmao.

(I hope I'm scheduling this so far away that everything has already been announced and I can actually show it lololol)
So, I went to make some prints at a small print shop here in my town. They don't exactly make stickers but they have stickers sheets so I was like "yeah, I can make some for shit and giggles to share with my friends". Well...
They told me that the sheets were 33cmx48cm but I honestly forgot about that so when they printed it as proof everything came out SO
FUCKING
HUGE
So yeah, now I have a giant Maid Billy on my PS5 bc I didn't want to waste it lol (plus small Billy for comparison. Consider that the big one was almost half the size of the entire paper 😂)

ur agegap touken art has me like HUugyfythGgttARGGTTGHG BARK BARK BARK /positive theyre soooooooo cyute
YOU GET IT, ANON. YOU GET IT
Its just SOO good cause of toukas stubborn and strong but also impulsive and more immature attitude that will crumble with a much more confident kaneki. WHO CAN THEN TEASE HER AND FOR ONCE BE THE ONE TO TEACH AND LEAD HER. But knowing touka, she'll still humble him in ways he wont expect.
I LOVE IT SO MUCH GRAHHH

"Non paeniteo potitus."
+ details & process
And, process !!
The jump btwn the second to last and last always surprise me whenever I make one of these because I always forget to take snapshots after I start painting. It's always like: oh yeah heres the lineart with some colors- BOOM fully finished✨️
What he's holding are the Austrian imperial scepter and orb, seen below:
I was going to draw the crown too but decided I don't hate myself that much(maybe some other day), and gave him a golden laurel crown, bcs I'm obsessed with that as a motif, and also its very remincient of the boy king statue that started this whole thing!
There's some symbolism of this, both intentionally but also just historically. I love that the orb represents that the monarch is holding the world in their hand, basically every old monarchy has one of those, and I think it's very cool for symbolism. But also bcs of that, I was forced to basically draw catholic fanart so, you win some you lose some. The star halo above him head is both to reference those religious statues with star crowns(I saw them a lot in Europe and they imprinted onto my brain), as well as: his four championships of course!
