Still on my sketching business, at that point I just draw whatever comes to mind. Like Dana and Lauren, which comes as a huge surprise to... No one. No one, okay, I know, pretend you never saw it coming

Pyrrhuloxia

[verdemoth]

new guy! the outfit design actually comes from an older character i’m repurposing.

Their relationship to the other characters is as a genuinely formidable though quite reasonable antagonist working against them, and later as an ally after they develop a friendly relationship with some of the protags and also fall from grace. Some character info below the cut:

Esvareen is a young fellow (~19 equivalent) living an average life in the colossal spaceship-city the story takes place in. Their neighbours and coworkers know them as a demure and anxious but amicable individual.

The greater factions of the city know them by the alias of Passepartout, the mysterious informant for a local crime boss whose expertise lies in cyber espionage and reconnaissance. They’re very skilled at digging up whatever the boss needs, be that dirt on individuals, security data, floor plans, private records, and etc. They’ve also been linked to the distribution of malware, usually of the more discreet and often overlooked kind to aid in their work.

They’ve managed to keep these two identities wholly seperate, with no one but the crime boss aware of their double life. And the boss and them go way back, so Esva was feeling pretty comfortable with this whole arrangement.

That is, up until the boss was incapacitated and left Esva with the responsibility of overseeing the whole operation. Which none of the henchmen nor Esva themself are super jazzed about. The boss’s subordinates don’t know or trust them, and Esva has rarely interacted with them in person and is wary of them all in turn. There’s been accusations that Esva manipulated their way into leadership and caused the boss’s downfall, or at least is undeserving of the position. And since they won’t even show their face, they could be anyone.

To try and retain command, they’re now having to directly participate in schemes and heists, making them more vulnerable to attack or identification. And ohhhh buddy, they’ve made so many enemies in all the factions. Past targets of the boss who would just loooooooooove to get their hands on Esva, either figuring out how to blackmail them into changing allegiances or just to pay them back in blood and pain for all the headaches their digital attacks have caused. And they don’t trust that their own men won’t stab them in the back to claim their authority. All they can do is try to play the part and keep everything under control (and their adversaries subdued into inaction) for as long as they can.

My submission for the desertbus shift fursonas! And also the first art I felt I could post in how long? Sorry y’all.

Desertbus is a charity stream supporting child’s play, a charity that makes like slightly less terrible for children in hospitals, while playing a terrible bus game.

They’ll be streaming for a good while so you should let them keep you company and maybe try for some giveaway!

The Cardinal Directions In Mario Games

So something I've noticed people do on maps is place something like the Koopa Kingdom to the West instead of East. I have argued that when you head right in the majority of Mario games like to Dry Dry Desert you are heading East. However, some people have argued and said we don't know if you are heading East or West and it could be any direction. So with some details from the games I've found out the cardinal directions.

First off in Super Mario Bros. 4 Super Mario World you there is a detail about the positioning of Yoshi's Island that can be found on the back of the Japanese box. "One peaceful day Mario Luigi and Peach set off on a vacation in the southern island Dinosaur Land Yoshi's Island." Info pulled from Japanese Mario World is VERY Different - Region Break Yoshi's Island is a Southern Island according to the Japanese Box and if you were to place compass on the map of Dinosaur Land in game this shows it matches up in game. I believe we can infer this with most games when it comes to the cardinal directions. However, I do have a piece of concrete information backing it all up.

In Super Mario Odyssey you have a compass on screen that shows you the cardinal directions. Peach's Castle in the Central Mushroom Kingdom area of the Grasslands is North when standing in front of it. To the East is the Desert like in every game when you head right.

Someone asked if they were girlfriends and who am I to deny the world a girlbossxgirlboss romance

I read UHHH fuck it, whatever comic it is that has a story for each of the Endless siblings, and GOD I love Despair and Delirium especially. It was also fascinating to see where Dream and Desire's feud ultimately started - and to discover that Desire was briefly Dream's favourite sibling.

Just updated my fic on ao3! It's a 1960s desert gothic-ish setting in which a former Catholic priest finds Copia, who takes him in and well...the rest is history.

Did I mention Copia is also a vampire and wears a cowboy hat? AND they're both gay and trans?

Check it out if it interests you. c:
