This crazy dinosaur doesn't know not to attack the guy with the brawler trait, kickass melee ability, and the magic hammer.
And Irwin is not clever enough to realise that when his toes get bitten off, he should maybe prioritise going to the hospital over eating his lunch. Silly boy.
I wonder where he keeps Xanxalbur when he's working? I just imagine he does the Animal Crossing thing and pulls it out of nowhere with that cheery little jingle.
I can't draw dinosaurs I'm sorry
Not sure how the genetics of two baseliners makes one yttakin, but I don't feel like questioning it right now. Anyway, turns out Wendy and Kawoo are related. That's kind of fun. Also, Wendy's dad is named "Liquid Science", which is the coolest name ever.
The flu has taken my sweet babies :(
This was just an excuse to draw Zonovo with his hair out, and Kaz looking after baby Andy (because despite being sick himself, Kaz is still one of my more competent doctors and decided to look after the kid before himself and I thought it was adorable).
Also, today I had a flat tyre and nothing to do but draw while I waited for it to get patched up, so here's what I accomplished with the sketchbook from my car (I have hidden sketchbooks everywhere just in case) and a felt pen I had in my bag. I liked it, so it gets to go on the blog. Enjoy!

irey and the eldritch blob
Irey West. Jesse Chambers. Todd Rice.
First Meetings. Aunt-Niece Relationship. Candy.
954 words.
(ao3.)
Irey West prides herself on being the bravest, bestest, and fastest Impulse that she can be.
However, a visit to the Justice Society brownstone puts one of her heroic values into question.
Upon seeing an uncanny, unfamiliar shadow moving on the wall, Irey lets out a terrified shriek. Being thirteen (and a half), it’s unsurprising that her voice is loud, piercing, and resonates throughout the entire main foyer.
At least the shriek is short as Irey jumps back away from the wall. Fortunately, her Auntie Jess is there to catch her and prevent the hyperventilating middle schooler from tumbling onto the floor.
Jesse Chambers grabs her niece by the arms and helps the little one back onto her feet.
“Irey! Irey! It’s okay!” Jesse assures, speaking loudly, but firmly. “That’s just Obsidian, he’s our security system for the building!”
Irey’s breathing is still a mess. Her heart is beating so fast that she just might pass out. Her eyes are focused on the shadow on the wall, and the way it’s so dark it looks like a black hole under the foyer’s fluorescent lights. It’s nothing she’s ever seen before, and in her odd years of life Irey has already seen her fair share of horrifying things.
But yet, when Irey looks up and sees the calm eyes of her Auntie Jess, she can feel the fear in the veins slowly slipping out of her.
“He’s… he’s what?”
“He’s our security system,” Jesse repeats, placing her arms on Irey’s shoulders. “Todd’s powers allow him to be aware of the entire building at once. It’s very helpful. Want to say hi?”
Despite having screamed loud enough for the entire west wing to hear, Irey looks towards the wall once more. The shadow moves again and she has to fight down the urge to scream again. She reaches up to squeeze her Auntie Jess’s hand as the shadow morphs from a two-dimensional splotch and into a cloudy black blob shaped like a hand.
Somehow, the sight of the hand becomes less terrifying when it waves towards Irey.
“Hello,” greets the gravelly voice of the Justice Society’s security system.
“Hi,” Irey replies, squeezing her Auntie’s hand even tighter. “Todd, right?”
“Yes.”
Irey looks up to Jesse for guidance, who only smiles down to give the little one more assurance.
Somehow, when Irey looks towards Todd the Shadow once more, she feels just a little less scared.
“I heard my Grampa Jay talking about you,” Irey says. “He said you’re on new meds and feeling a lot better.”
Jesse looks down at Irey with a shocked, scolding expression in her eyes. “Irey!”
To the surprise of both speedsters, Todd the Shadow lets out a deep, humored hum.
“You’re Grampa Jay isn’t wrong,” he says in a rather chipper tone — well, as chipper as an eldritch-looking blotch on the wall can be. “I am feeling better nowadays.”
“I’m on meds too,” Irey tells him. “For my attention deficit hyper-action disorder.”
With a smile, Jesse affectionately squeezes Irey’s hand again. “You mean hyperactive disorder.”
Irey nods along. “Right, what she said.”
With that said, Irey reaches into her coat pocket and rummages around. What she pulls out is a small plastic tube of candy.
“Do you want an M&M?” Irey offers, holding the tube towards Todd. “My meds make me anxious sometimes, so my parents put candy in my pill box. You know, the ones with the days of the week.”
For a beat Todd says nothing as Jesse keeps her hands on Irey’s shoulders, a secure gesture that does wonders to calm the young speedster down. Then the shadows on the wall form into a hand again, which reaches out towards the redhead once more.
With a grin, Irey pours a few M&Ms onto Todd’s shadowy palm, then watches as the hand retreats back into the wall. The sight of a dark cloudy blob is still unnerving, but somehow seeing Todd holding onto a handful of multicolored candy makes it a lot more palatable.
“You’re very kind, Irey,” speaks Todd. “And I love M&Ms, thank you.”
With a lot less fear, Irey gives the eldritch blob. “You’re welcome.”
“We should get going now, Red,” Jesse soon says, squeezing Irey’s shoulders once again. “Don’t wanna keep Grampa Jay waiting.”
“Okay,” the middle schooler replies, nodding. She then gives the JSA’s security system one more friendly look. “Bye!”
“See you around, Todd,” Jesse says, letting her little niece run down the brownstone’s hall at a normal speed.
“You too,” says Todd’s gravelly voice. Despite the deep, ominous tone that comes from Obsidian’s shadow form, there is something oddly personable about the way he speaks. “By the way, how was that doctor’s appointment last week?”
Irey stops running and turns around to see her Auntie Jess speaking to a shadow like it’s a co-worker at the water cooler.
“It was alright, thank you for asking,” Jesse continues, placing a hand on her hip.
“How far along are you now?” asks Todd. “Three months?”
“Four, actually.”
“Oh, I can’t tell.”
Despite the hoarse, smoky tone that Todd continues to speak in, his comments manage to put a grin on Jesse’s face.
“You flatter me too much,” the blonde speedster says. Finally, she begins stepping away from the shadow on the wall to walk towards her niece in the hall. “Anyways, gotta run — take care, Todd.”
“You too.”
On Irey’s end of the hallway, she raises an eyebrow at the scene in front of her. Despite all the peculiar things she had seen in the last few minutes, she’s quite sure that this might be the strangest.
According to Irey’s father, her Auntie Jess is never this friendly with anyone!
