Alriggghtt! 🪩🪩 Let's Get Groovin'! Introducing SpiderFunk, my Funky Disco Spidersona from 70s Philippines! Their disco ball can turn into a big claw (to be illustrated) and they got bit by a…. you know how the song goes!

[the-cat-and-the-birdie]

I LOVE the idea of Hobie being helpful to everyone EXCEPT his partner.

Like just being a complete pest of a boyfriend

You're shorter than him and ask him to get you something off a shelf and he's like 'yeah, sure'

Comes over and moves the item higher, gives you the thumbs up then leaves 👍🏿

You're getting ready and he comes over to kiss your cheek.

Tells you how beatiful you are before ruffling the shit outta the hair you just did

And he's SUCH A MENACE cause you always fall for it and it's ALWAYS something new

Every time he does it he gets this smug ass look on his face right before and you be looking at him like

"Stop. Don't even start. I'm not playing with you."

TOO LATE.

Hugging you from behind? Nah Judo flip

You jumpy, he's behind every corner. Now you be stopping every time like "Hobie???? Stop playing, are you there 😭😭"

YES HE IS and he got your ass AGAIN

You're showering? Nah he needs to take a leak and he forgot not to flush the toilet. oops. He loves you to death though.

He just REALLY wants to playfight.

Attack I did for @/time_woods !!!

I absolutely loved drawing them hehe the colors are permanently in my brain 💥💥

[faithylilac]

“DISCO SPIDER” Aka “Izzy Woeste”

Currently been working as a spider person for 11 months now

Has a cat sidekick known to the public as “Black Cat” (original, I know)

legal name name is “Cotton Eye Joe” but you can call him “Joe”

Izzy got bit by a spider that seemed to be living in an old DDR machine she was restoring.

It quickly died afterwards so she was able to get any answers on what it was.

Izzy owns and runs a “Retro-Arcade” with her cat being the mascot.

She inherited from her uncle who decided he was going move out of country for someone he met online.

She finds it weird but not surprising the family hasn’t heard from him in a while.

With her spider-powers it’s been a lot easier to fix things around the place.

If she doesn’t like the spot an arcade cabinet is at, she’ll just move it after close.

Some of the regulars get confused and worried when they come back and a game is in a different spot.

She likes to brag that she did it herself, no one would believe her lol.

Disco-Spider has the familiar spider-Person abilities

She has spider senses, can stick to walls, super strong, great sense of humor, you get it.

She has organic webbing that is a weird reflective material.

He eyes glow slightly, staring into them for too long with temporary blind someone.

She can also concentrate her energy into making her eyes light up like flashlights.

Though her mask stops her from using those powers.

She has slight power of hypnosis, she can make anyone dance uncontrollably.

She normally brings out a wii remote (from who knows where) as a warning to her foes that they’re about to be forced to do just dance choreography.

Also music just starts playing out of nowhere when this happens, no one knows where it comes from. You get a migraine if you think about it too hard.

Cotton Eye Joe

She doesn’t really know what’s up with Joe

He’s definitely intelligent, not in the normal pet sentience

He can understand everything she says and if he could, he would respond.

She’s tried putting out those weird button things people have for their dogs, but he seemed insulted and didn’t use them.

(Actually he did use the ones that say bad words) (why did they even make those?

He also fights crime with her?

He likes to rest on her shoulders when she’s trying to talk things out. If it resorts to violence, that cat in pouncing on people left and right.

Izzy discovered he liked country music right after she found him.

One night Joe wouldn’t calm down and she accidentally activated her powers and for some reason Garth brooks came on.

The cat likes country music, earning his name.

He might be an Alien, might be a human cursed to be a cat, might be an ancient cat god, she’s not sure.

Never thought I’d want Hobie Brown, Kim Kitsuragi and Barbie interacting but here we are

[imolelalade]

Timeline of Love 1960

(Alternate title: Me hyperfixtating on the method and time that Nifemi and HB 1960 [her Earth's variant of Hobie Brown] got together)

Small A/N: This is not Hobie from ATSV but a variant of him, from Earth-1960, my spidersona, Nifemi’s Earth, so he might be a bit OC in a few areas. But I take creative liberty in that. This can also count as an ocxcanon to an extent, if you do not like, do not read.

HB 1960 is a British foreign exchange student, that for some reason decided to move to Nigeria to finish up his studies and whatnot (I’ll clean this up later) 

Of course considence, considence Hobie ends up in the same uni as Nifemi

(Quick Nigerian schooling breakdown/ I’ll do a more in depth one later 😙)

Primary School- Reception [3-4 years old] to Year 6 [10 years old]

Secondary School- JS1 [11 years old] - SS3 [16 years old]

University [17 to about 21 depending on your course]

Now, now, Nifemi isn’t the type to fall for looks immediately

She feels like that’s kind of superficial 

I mean, she’ll look at someone and think ‘oh they’re cute’ but it’s more of a passing glance thing, you know

So you know how HB gets her?

His accent. 

Lawd have mercy, this man’s barely understandable thickk Cockney accent has this girl faster on the floor than you can even process.

I’m talking, she fell in love with his voice before she even got a good look at his face

Basically what happened:

Lecturer: Class, we have a new student joining us today”

HB: ‘Ello bruvs

Nifemi: *down bad speechless before this man even uttered his name*

(I can honestly go on a 3k worded rant about just how fine I think Hobie Brown’s accent is but *sigh* sadly, that shall be for another time)

And Nifemi wasn’t the only one who fell for HB

In my opinion, HB seems like that one guy that every girl in school knows about, and has a crush on, but this man, this rat-bastard of a man, is so fucking oblivious to every advance towards him

I’m talking Adrien Agreste level of obliviousness

Like a random girl would come up to him and flirt with him, but it’s like this guy doesn’t know what flirting is

Meanwhile Nifemi is down bad for this guy

I’m talking staring at this man, lovesick, thinking about this boy, down bad.

HB catches her staring a few times and just finds it kind of silly

“You good luv?” 

*nervous nod*

“A'ight”

Miss girl is actually pathetic (I love her so much)

Due to a series of paired group projects and whatnot, they eventually become friends and start hanging out.

Nifemi introduces HB to Bolatito (her little sister) and Miles 1960 (Miles variant and Bolatito’s boyfriend) and the 4 of them become a kind of like quartet. (Boom, friendgroup)

Bolatito, of course, IMMEDIATELY knows that Nifemi has a crush on Hobie:

“Look at you.”

“Biko, free me”

“You liiike him”

“I do not-” 

“Hey luvs”

“...”

“Ehen. you were saying?”

HB and Bolatito form this kind of big bro and annoying little sister relationship, so basically Bolatito has already accepted him as part of the family in a way (I’ll explore this further later)

And with the law of association, Hobie and Miles of course become bros (Big bro, Lil’ bro in every universe)

So Bolatito just teases Nifemi and HB continues to remain oblivious to everything

That is until:

HB starts to also have a crush on her.

He just finds her adorable

She gets flustered when he talks to her, like she’s a nervous mess b/c remember this girl is with him for his voice. (LAWD HAVE MERCY HIS VOICE, ARRRGGGHHH *actually on my knees right now*)

Plus despite her being closed off in certain areas

she’s sweet and nice and helpful

But she also takes absolutely no nonsense

No, like she would actually start to rage if you piss her off too much or you’re just being a jerk or a bully

In fact, his crush on her soldified when he saw her cursing the absolute shit out of one of those classic uni idiots

Also without realizing it, Nifemi switches to Yoruba when she gets strong emotions, so basically picture this:

We have Hobie that the only time talks to Nifemi she’s sweet and nice and flustered as hell

And now he sees the same girl cursing the shit out of someone in a language he doesn’t even understand

And girly is going off on this guy

“Oloshi,  ṣebe you don’t have sense? Mama no born nothing inside that your head, oloriburuku. S'onsiere ni? Ko ni da fun e…”

Girl is bringing out everything in the book and HB is just like: 😳

My man’s down BAAAD

And so Nifemi and Hobie enter the awkward friend phase

With HB liking her and is unknowingly making this girl so flustered, while still being so fucking oblivious and not realizing that she likes him back

And with Nifemi being too shy and emotionally constipated to actually confess, with the mindset of “Why the hell would he even like me back?”, so just continuing to be a flustered mess around him

And Bolatito and Miles just being lovey dovey in the background and lovingly sharing a bucket of popcorn while watching this trainwreck.

That’s where Bolatito comes in

Girlypop is the wingwoman of wingwomen doing all the classic annoying sister shit:

-Making excuses for all of them to hangout

-Inviting Miles over for “double dates”

-Techflower conveniently “disapperaring” at random times leaving the two oblivious idjits alone

-Bolatito and Miles are basically the Alya and Nino of this universe with Nifemi and HB being Marinette and Adrien.

This continues until finally, finally, HB and Nifemi get the hint and finally get together.

And then 4 of them are all a happy, lovey-dovey friend group

Well, at least until Nifemi’s canon event

But that’s for another post

If you’re still here after all my delusions, thanks for reading😘

CEASELESS WATCHER and THE WEB (2/?)

(1) (2) (3) (4) ...

More DE x TMA Fear portraits. Keeping in mind that in this au the Fears would replace the Skills, the Ceaseless Watcher would be of course the the one that would talk the most (at least at the start). It go from being like Encyclopedia to Shivers, but in the most stalkery manner.

The Web would rarely give an action/dialogue option directly, because Jon would be very scared of it and reticent to follow through on what it says, but it would manipulate the other Fears into doing its bidding undetected (if that makes sense).

[the-cat-and-the-birdie]

All Funk, No Punk - Still Hobart Brown

Gold chains instead of silver spikes. Gator shoes in place of thrifted boots. And an afro bigger than Hobie's -

Spider-Funk is Hobart Brown - Earth 831

Hobie Brown maybe Artie's chiller, rougher, and louder self - but somehow, they get on like a cop car on fire (or whatever the saying is).

And Artie Brown maybe Hobie's cockier, flirtier, and flashier self - but they just tell people they're twins.

Or at the very least - they call each other 'brotha' and 'bruv' all the time.

When people ask about the accent thing - you know, Artie being American, they say 'Ever seen The Parent Trap?'

[A LONG ASS post - Below is Artie's Origins, Fighting Style, Relationship to Hobie, and how he got recruited - All About the Brown Bros! Artie & Hobie, FunkPunk!]

It's Hobie 2 - Electric Bugaloo!

And just when Miguel thought he could only stomach one of them.

Though he calls himself the older brother, being born over a decade earlier, Artie is Hobie's less mature, more materialistic, but just as kind variant.

He's a pacifist instead of an anarchist - Full of Soul instead of bursting with Rock.

And he still hates cops.

Origins:

When Artie was drafted for the Vietnam War in 1969 - the first thing he did was burn his draft card. Then he joined the Black Liberation Army.

He wasn't the only one - Artie was part of the almost half a million draftees to do so.

And then President Osborn was elected.

To fill the gap in enlistment, Osborn came up with a solution.

V.E.N.O.M - A highly toxic, unfeelingly aggressive, and wildly bloodthirsty symbiote. A solution to the protests and draft dodgers.

Engineered by Oscorp - if you didn't induct yourself as a soldier, the V.E.N.O.M would make you one. And suddenly his friends were disappearing one by one.

A subtle but sudden-onset disease, the V.E.N.O.M variant was nearly undetectable, very persuasive, and incredibly effective.

More primal than animalistic, the symbiote's function didn't raise one's bloodlust, - instead it lowered, and at worse cancelled, your empathy. The symbiote subtly normalized dehumanization - attacking neurons in the cerebral cortex to destroy one's capability of empathy, compassion, and at times - recognizing faces. Able to follow commands without a second thought - the perfect soldier. Convincing the host of necessary order and their own biological superiority, over the course of 72 hours the host would lose their ability to recognize the people around them as anything other than sub-human. In 138, V.E.N.O.M turns you into an animal. In 831, V.E.N.O.M turns everyone around you into an animal.

It could make anyone into an unfeeling, unrelenting soldier - no guns needed.

The best of them got sent overseas to the War - and the rest, he turned on the people, hunting down all those who dared to dodge their call.

While on tour in DC, Artie was bitten by a radioactive spider, as he attempted to burn draft papers at a government facility.

He burned the papers. Plus he got some sick powers out of it. Plus Plus he gets to beat up The National Guard on a weekly basis. Ain't that a score.

And Hobie may hate the name Spider-Punk (or so he says), but Artie loves being Spider-Funk.

He calls them Funk & Punk. Hobie calls them that too, but like in a cool ironic way.

Artie & Hobie:

Personality:

Hobie knows that Artie is going through his 'Pavitr Phase', so he cuts him some slack. Artie's only been Funk for a year and some change.

He's got more Ws than Ls, so he's always one to be a bit cocky and reckless - though never at anyone's expense.

He's more talkative than Hobie - and WAY more flirty than Hobie, ready to wink at anyone willing to stare.

Like Hobie, Artie has his own groupies. And the pair on campus do get stares (and whispers. and giggles); Two 6'5 dudes with enough hair to cause an eclipse, walking around in loud ass boots, they're sure to draw attention.

Something Artie loves.

Artie considers himself a Ladies' Man. And a Man's Man. And what gender you have to offer really. (He's still a 'Hobie' - he doesn't discriminate)

He's got a waterbed in his boathouse, shag carpets, and wine at the ready. He loves sweet-talking people, and showering them in compliments. Whereas Hobie's love language is Physical Touch, Artie's is Words of Affirmation.

But all Hobie has to do is open his mouth and Be British and suddenly Artie's date is swooning and he's like 'Brotha, I'mma need you to shut the hell up for a second right quick.'

If you hang out with them, get ready for Hobie hanging off your shoulder, while Artie is in your ear complimenting your outfit.

Fighting:

Artie's fighting style is a lot more fluid than Hobie's with a lot of martial arts involved - similar to blaxploitation movies of the era.

Hobie thinks he looks bloody ridiculous meanwhile Artie is like 'if dem damn jeans weren't so tight maybe you could get like me and have some flair in your fight, my man.'

He also has an INCREDIBLY MEAN backhand.

Ideology:

The two of them are fairly close, hanging out with each other a lot. Though the two of them are fairly different. Artie is far more pacifist than Hobie, but that doesn't mean he's above violence.

He's just not one to talk about it, or threaten it. He's more of the 'let people talk - don't start none, won't be none'. Camp - and he'll almost never throw the first punch. Though he absolutely considers intimidation, selling hard drugs, and fucking with the general population 'starting some'.

Their ideology may clash heads everyone once in a while, but they hardly ever fight. At all. Instead, they have frequently heated, in-depth debates.

Artie may not be as radical or educated on things as Hobie, plus Hobie has ten years of extra history to pull from, but the two of them do it often, and it keeps them spry.

The only problem is, they get so into it, it SO HARD to understand what they're saying. Accents, slang, cutting each other off, roping other people into the conversation to back them up. It's WILD.

Artie is a lot more materialistic than Hobie. Not as critical of capitalism, Artie likes to game it rather than complain about it.

Unlike Hobie, Artie LOVES the finer things in life, and spoiling those around him. He likes gold over silver, and wears more rings than spikes.

He's a bit full of himself, and he carries a rag in his pocket to whip blood off his nice white boots. Something Hobie wouldn't be caught DEAD doing.

And Hobie clowns him for it everytime. Artie doesn't care. 'True playas never play sloppy.'

But how can he afford all of this? Well,

He's not as uhh,..honest as Hobie. But he has a heart of gold (get it?). And he never lies just to lie - if he's doing it, it's probably for work, or to Miguel, because he does not respect Miguel.

Artie be stealing. He's a master at sleight of hand. If it's a big corporation, it's free game. He never steals money - but to put it concisely: He's a smooth mfer.

He likes gold - he thinks it looks nice. But he knows for a fact that the worth of it is completely manufactured my human and capitalism, and that it's literally just a pretty metal.

He knows that paying hundreds for a chain or gold is exploitative, especially when it's stolen to begin with. So to him, it's justifiable, gimmie.

He also does it mostly for fun, a magic trick - in the same way Hobie makes stuff 'disappear' while talking to Miles, and doing hand tricks.

Artie does that, but more often, and more skillfully.

He doesn't do it all the time, but the first time he did it in front of Hobie - snatching Hobie's homemade watch of his wrist - Hobie was genuinely surprised.

Mostly he does it to make things disappear from your hand, parts he finds lying around, and playing pranks on people like Miguel. Generally, just being a lil shit.

He's a sweet-talker and a big steppa.

Unlike Hobie, Artie knows better than you force his way in. Artie slides in. He can talk them in to anywhere.

He'll pretend to be someone else, pretend to know someone else, steal passes and key cards to get in, and try to attack from the shadows when he can.

In battle, Spider-Punk is the louder, chattier, more immature one. And Spider-Funk is the chiller, sarcastic one.

Like twins, the two of them have their own in-jokes, and they hang at each other's places all the goddamn time. Though they live in different universes and decades, Artie & Hobie are kinda a package deal.

They may not always be together - they both got their own shit to do and they're not actually brothers - but if you hang with one, it's only a matter of time before you meet the other.

"Why is your brother American?" "Divorce." - "Adoption." ........ "Adoption." - "Divorce." "One of you or the both of you are lying."

Diane & Artie & Annie -

[This section is about my main OC Disco-Spider Diane, and her variant Annie P. Disco-Spider is Hobie's....something and they are happily....a something]

Every Hobart needs his Diane, and Artie is no different.

Artie & Diane:

And like usual, it all starts at the beginning.

Diane was the one to recruit Artie - because of course she was. And Lyla had told her two things: He was a guitarist, and his name was Artie. That's all she needed to know.

Lyla wanted it to be a surprise.

She snuck back stage to his show, brushed off the nearly palpable feeling of deja vu in the air, broke into his dressing room, and then tried to flirt him into joining the Society. Easy peasy.

Diane is a very oblivious woman. They spoke for nearly 10 minutes - and Artie decided to hear her out. He sat down on the couch in his dressing room, pulled back his hair and-

Diane goes -

"Hobie??? Is that you?! Oh my goodddd, you look so cute! Your hair!! Hobarrrrt - Why you ain't say nothing, had me standing here doing all this."

Speech completely forgotten. Mind you, she still hasn't explained anything. Diane is destined to freak out every Hobart she meets.

Artie is starting to think he should stop flirting with weird ass groupies that break into his dressing room.

Diane takes out her watch, the watch he doesn't know she has. She pulls up Lyla, the AI he doesn't know she has. And Diane asks her -

"Lyla! Does Artie stand for-" "It does!" "Oh my god!!! That makes this SO much easier! You're soo sweet, awww!!" "You know I saw the mission and thought of you-" "Am I on drugs right now?"

Needless to say - Diane's recruitment was successful.

Diane and Artie actually get on well, really well. Like weirdly well.

Artie and Diane are both extroverted, flirty, and a bit full of themselves. They're expressive, and more into their hair than they're willing to admit. They're perfect for each other - and people notice.

And Diane finds it a TAD BIT WEIRD

I mean, the differences between her and Hobie is what Diane loves about them - they're like sugar and spice, PB and J.

Sometimes Artie and Diane may accidentally finish each other's sentences - and Diane will be like 'Hey don't do that :)'. Other times, Artie will playfully be like 'Why are you standing so close to me, mama?' Just to piss her off.

Of course, Diane thinks he's 'cute'. But not Hobie Cute. And unfortunately, he 'speaks American'.

Besides, Hobie is the only Hobart for her.

Artie is definitely into Diane, but more in the 'she's a catch I would go for' kinda way. He did hit on her a couple times early on in their situation - but once she made it clear that she was 'seeing Hobie', he took the hint.

There's no jealously there - Hobarts are incapable of it. In fact, he's kinda proud the only other guy who could pull the hot girl is ..another him.

Now, Artie is a lot more like a big brother, kinda like the ones Diane grew up with in the Panther's house.

He's protective of her, in a 'Be mean to her and I'll deliver an ass whoppin on a plate' way. He thinks she's cute in the way a platonic sense, and finds her groupie mode to be as amusing as it is adorable.

It's ironic though that his ACTUAL girlfriend is - well, Diane's Opposite.

Artie & Annie:

[This section is shorter, and will be longer in Annie's post]

Diane Pastors is Annie P. is Mod-Spider.

Artie's girlfriend, Annie is the farthest thing from Diane while somehow still being just as big of a diva.

An avid feminism campaigner and modern woman, she would never be caught DEAD hanging off of Artie like that. And she can't stomach Diane all that much.

Hobie, Annie HATES. And not in a coy way. She thinks he's obnoxious - she calls him a poseur. She thinks he's a scrub.

Her & Artie are in a committed relationship - officially boyfriend and girlfriend. And instead of Annie, Artie is the one who wears her name on a chain.

Just like Diane and Hobie, Annie and Artie have a musical duo - called ModFunk.

We're almost done I PROMISE.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Random Details:

Artie's design is an inverted version of Hobie's, but it's also inspired heavily by Jimi Hendrix, mainly this photo on the left.

Right is an example of Artie's Style. His universe has a paint-marker aesthetic, a lot more colorful and soft than Hobie's, with dripping paint and splatters, but it tones down a lot - like Gwen's.

Artie plays Soul, Jazz, and Funk.

He has a band with his version of Daredevil, Felicia Hardy, and Captain Anarchy.

Artie has killed cops - and soldiers before. But he doesn't see it as a big deal. He hates cops, but he doesn't focus on it. He doesn't discriminate. Ass Whoopin's for everybody.

He DOES pull his hair back, his face isn't covered all the time. Maybe 80% of the time.

He can get around with Spidey Sense, so he doesn't care much - he loves his fro and is always picking it out.

He Pavitr are like best friends. Pavi and The Brown Twins get LOUD AS HELL when all together.

Gwen thinks he's an absolute goofball - So Artie tries his best to make her laugh. She seems like she needs it.

When not on stage and in battle, he prefers to play an acoustic guitar, which Hobie doesn't like playing. His acoustic is also blue.

Him and Hobie can play on each other's guitars, but it sounds very trippy, and VERY VERY weird, abnormally so.

If their heads are covered, or hair done like each other's, they can seamlessly pass as each other.

Hobie SUCKS at an American accent - but somehow, he can mimic Artie's perfectly.

It's the same for Artie - sucks at British, but can speak like Hobie.

He loves chocolate candy bars, Hobie likes fruity candy.

They do write songs together and go to each others shows, though they don't ever really perform together.

They wrestle A LOT

Artie is a genius as well, and they work on mechanics together, Artie is great at math specifically.

He and Hobie do each others hair care and help oil each other's scalps.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So uh.....that's Artie :) The guy

If you made it this far THANK YOU THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ENTERTAINING ME - Artie platonically gives you a red rose.

ALSO TELL ME Why I tried to draw him like Jimi Hendrix But he looking like the Jackson 5 IM SO SORRY YALL

Here's OG Hobie as a thank you! Just imagine two Hobarts standing on either side of you both tall and with big hair and touchy and talkative as fuck Diane is living the DREAM let your OCs be happy

Bye.

Innocence=Politic=Skill

So we all know that Empathy looks like Dolores Dei, right? And Dolores Dei is the founder of Moralism, and Empathy is the skill that represents moralism.

Simple.

But it goes beyond that! If we do a little digging, we can see that this pattern applies to the Perikarnassian, Communism, and Rhertoric as well!

The Greatest Innocence says of the Perikarnassian:

He's depicted as a young man with molten gold pouring out of his mouth -- all he spoke was gold.

(Side note: the Perikarnassian’s gender is not known, Franconegro just assumed they were a man).

Rhetoric is also depicted as having... stuff coming out of his mouth, but I didn’t make the connection until the Skills were doing some name-calling.

Volition -  It was me. I made you sound weak and I shouldn't have. But *this* guy, Goldmouth, he's way in over his head. Be careful with his so-called advice.

So just like the Perikarnassian, Rhetoric has a mouth of gold. And is the Perikarnassian associated with communism? Yes!

Steban, the Student Communist -  "The theorists Puncher and Wattmann -- not infra-materialists, but theorists nonetheless -- say that communism is a secular version of Perikarnassian theology, that it replaces faith in the divine with faith in humanity's future..." 

If we take this pattern to its conclusion, then the fascist Innocence, Franconegro, should look like Endurance, and the ultraliberal Innocence (if one existed?) would look like Savoir Faire.

I don’t know what this implies about the setting, or Harry, or the narrative, but I think it’s neat. All quotes taken from Fayde!

[artsyhamster]

Just two guys, sharing bathwater

[spidey-bie]

Idea I can’t stop thinking about: Hobie and DiscoSpider being the ones sent to recruit Ansi cause they’re from around the same time. So one day Ansi comes home to two of the most colorful people ever just there going through records and cassettes and stuff And Diane and Hobie have no idea who Nirvana is yet so they end up just crashing there and listening to music for hours instead of actually doing the recruiting pitch they’re supposed to do while Ansi shows them a bunch of albums sorry i just had to share rfrgrfjecrj

I hope you know that this post led to me immediately setting up a Zoom meeting with my friend so that we can finally get started with a physical look for her which is why it took so long for me to answer. She got a starter sketch started already lol.

Asdfgsjxjdjdkkd. That's too funny. Ansi wouldn't even be fazed with the amount of stuff she has going on. She'd be a bit irritated with people going through her stuff but after seeing Hobie and listening to his sultry voice she quickly got over it. And oh Lord when you get her started about Tina Bell (black people started grunge) you're not gonna go anywhere for a long time.

It honestly makes her day having people who are willing to listen to music with her (And if I finally finish that post on her background we'll all know why)

Bruh Ansi's like let's listen to Nirvana and Hobie and Diane are like, "The meditation thing????" But they just go with it because maybe that's something else in this dimension and then the room erupts with the voice of Kurt Cobain and they think maybe this really is Nirvana.
