@talisman975 It would have been SO COOL if they made a Belos (or Philip) inspired drink or dish or dessert for the cafe (I would have given them bonus points if it were slime based or horse based or based on his "round boy" lol).

Daily sketches for April 27th - May 4th, 2024

Aaaaaand I. Am. DONE :DDDDDDD!!!!!

Here’s the full canvas, 2 years and 8 days in the making :3

This has been both really fun and really fucking infuriating to work on over all this time. I graduated film school, started college, changed sonas, went to my first convention, and got to draw a lot of fun stuff like my friends’ OC’s!

Galvatron is the one who likes touching/physical stimming the most but occasionally Cyclonus initiates it by just sitting on Galvatrons lap and cuddling into him, face pressed to the crook of Galvs neck, often falling asleep.

Galvatron WILL disassemble your molecules if you disturb Cyclonus.

Why Edelgard's "Cute" Moments are Important

Something I see brought up repeatedly as a criticism of Edelgard/Crimson Flower is that Edelgard doesn't have an arc and/or is undermined by the writers adding scenes of her being cute to make her marketable as a "waifu". Both of these criticisms seem to stem from an inability to recognize Edelgard's arc for what it is and how those "cute" moments factor into it. Now, I'm not suggesting that Edelgard isn't intended to appeal to people who are attracted to women, of course she is, all the lords are intended to appeal to people of compatible orientations, but simply dismissing Edelgard "gap-moe waifu bait" is reductive and does as much of a disservice to her character and the themes of her route as dismissing Dimitri and Claude as "'troubled-but-I-can-fix-him'/Lovable Rogue husbando bait" would to theirs.

An essential component of Edelgard's character is that she has nobody to provide her with emotional support (Hubert is, by his own admission, not equipped for such a role) so she coped with her trauma and her need to make sacrifices for a better future by suppressing her feelings and adopting the persona of a haughty princess/ruthless emperor as a defense mechanism. She admits as much to Byleth in their A-Support:

Edelgard: I can't deny [I'm 'rather detached' too]. Ever since I underwent those... procedures, I've certainly distanced myself from the ordinary world.

The whole conceit of "The Edge of Dawn" is that Edelgard cherishes her academy days because they make her feel normal again and wishes they could last forever, but she still has to put up a false front because she is not innocent to the horrors of the world and feels compelled to correct them even at the cost of her own happiness.

If Byleth and the Black Eagles choose to side with her at the Holy Tomb she finally able to close the distance she had to maintain during the school year and start processing her emotions instead of simply shoving them aside. She tells Byleth in their B-Support how their influence has enabled her overcome her loneliness, step out from behind the mask, and be her true self again:

Edelgard: I want to thank you. Because of you, I feel I can walk my fated path without losing myself. If I were alone, I might have lost perspective and become a harsh leader with a heart of ice. But I'm not alone. With you by my side, I'm somehow free to be not only a leader but... simply Edelgard. Until now, no one has been able to surpass me— much less command me. I have always been seen as an untouchable princess or emperor. No one spoke to me as an equal or met my gaze without flinching.

That is what her "cute" moments represent. Unlike other routes, Crimson Flower features an Edelgard who didn't allow herself to be consumed by her mask and her mission. Instead of burying her true self she is able to open up again and start reconnecting with the normal girl she used to be. It's no coincidence that despite her insistence that "the Edelgard who shed tears died many years ago", the final scene of her route (closing narration and S-Support notwithstanding) ends with her openly weeping. Thanks to Byleth "the Edelgard who shed tears" came back to life.

Leona x Idia with Tsum shenanigans

Not my best writing

He was making a horrible decision, really.

Idia knew that pulling his third all-nighter of the week was a terrible idea. He would feel worse than he already felt considering he hasn’t slept in 2 days, but his romance favorite game released a new event and his favorite had a card! His Tsum wanted to participate too, already hoping to the desk with two Ramen cups ready to be eaten.

While the game is booting on Idia’s computer, Idia glances at the time. 8:32. The responsible thing to do is go to bed, but being responsible is cringe. Idia planned to play other games anyway, so tonight was gonna be another all-nighter.

Tsum Idia let out a squeak, making Idia turn. The plush held out the Ramen cup and fork.

“Hehehe, thank you~” Idia grinned as he grabbed the ramen. He was gonna get his favorite no matter how long it took him!

~

5 hours have passed and Idia has gotten every card except the one with his favorite. Idia felt like crap, cause his luck has NEVER been this bad. The Tsum was also upset due to a tummy ache of eating 10 Ramen cups, 12 pocky boxes and 15 chocolate bars, and was laying on its back while whimper-squeaking. Idia was actually considering going to bed to cry tears of sadness. Yes the event was gonna last 2 weeks, but Idia REALLY wanted his favorite husbando.

Idia was considering his options when his bedroom door flung open and he screeched like a banshee. There stood Leona, shirtless with baggy pajama pants, with Tsum Leona on his head. Leona looked pissed, causing Idia to quiver in fear. Tsum Idia was in too much pain to even try to escape its fate.

“…Uh, h-hi kitty???” Idia squeaked out like the pathetic man he is, cowering in fear in his gamer chair. Leona did not look amused.

Leona snarled “It’s 1 in the morning, Radish Sprout. Why the hell are you still awake?”

Idia stuttered to save himself. “O-oh jinkies…uhm hehe lmao, you s-s-see I was trying t-to-HOLY MOTHER OF GOD-“ Idia screamed when Leona literally lunged, grabbed Idia, and threw him on the bed. Idia couldn’t even process when Leona pinned him down with his hands. Idia’s face turned bright red, Leona’s face was too close…!

“You’re going to sleep.” Leona hissed before pulling Idia into a strong grip. Idia could not move, but Leona’s huge chest was comfortable, so he wasn’t complaining. Well except for the fact he couldn’t game anymore.

Idia then remembered his upset Tsum and turned his head to look at it. Tsum Leona was carrying Tsum Idia to the bed, and Tsum Idia was whimpering as much. As soon as the two Tsums got on the bed, the two began snuggling under the blanket and sqeuaking quietly.

It was the last thing Idia saw before drifting to dreamland.

Chapter 6: The Decay of Our Lives (#20)

“......”

I’m not sure how long he stands there with the rest of us closing in. His gaze flits from person to person, like he’s searching for his master’s approval—or just afraid we’re gonna mob him. As if that’s ever been an option.

“Um, well, if it’s that belated, I might have to check to see if it’s really necessary.”

“The rules don’t have a timeframe, you know...! M-maybe I can open the investigation in a couple of months?”

“MONTHS?! How many MORE of us will be DEAD by then?!”

“Um, none, ‘cuz we’re totally not staying that long.”

She takes one big stomp towards Monochap.

“Just call the stupid body discovery already!”

“U-uwah! But...”

We’ve got him right here. Right at the edge. And with his master right in front of everyone else, there’s not much they can instruct him to do. If this comes down to his interpretation of the rules, he can judge it just about any way he wants. Even if that means pushing the mastermind investigation far past the point any of us would still be standing.

But if it’s up to his own judgment, I know exactly how to handle this. He’s our chaperone—his whole purpose is to make sure we’re playing the game that we’re supposed to be playing.

But, intentional or not, there’s more to him than that single purpose. And that’s what I can easily target.

I was hoping it wouldn’t come to this... But if it can tip the scales, I’ll do whatever I have to.

Several of the others are still clamoring over each other, so I slap my hands together in a sharp clap that startles at least some of them out of it. Enough for me to be heard.

“Monochap.”

“Um, yes?”

“Call the body discovery and start the investigation now. If you do that...”

“I’ll call you my waifu!”

“Gaspu!”

“....”

“....”

Yeah, okay. My trump card is ridiculous. But what here hasn’t been?

“R... Really?”

“Really.”

“Nothing more waifu-worthy than helping your—”

What the heck is the other half of that relationship called? Husbando? Also waifu in my case? 

Master?? O... Otaku???

“—someone who needs what only you can provide.”

“..........”

“Like, yeah, okay.”

“Bring the dude responsible for this crap to justice ‘r whatever, and you can totally be my waifu, too.”

“!!”

“Like, sad little binch waifu, but. Waifu.”

Well, it sounded helpful at first.

“I can also accept these terms, I believe.”

“If I’m, er, understanding the situation correctly...”

“It doesn’t obligate you to marry him if that’s what you mean.” I hope?? “More of a title than anything, I guess?”

“Titles I can handle.”

“I hope you lot don’t expect me to endorse your absurd little christening.”

“As though the holy one herself would designate such honor upon an abomination.”

Yeah, I wouldn’t have expected different.

“I don’t see why it would be necessary for everyone to accede. The fact of the matter is, Mister Monochaperone has no hope of any of us ever referring to him as our waifu if he doesn’t cooperate.” 

Aidan pauses, like he needs a moment to come to terms with the combination of words that just left his mouth. 

“But there’s a chance if I do...?”

“You have my word.”

“Mine as well.”

“Like, both of their words’re way fancier than mine, but same.”

Monochap looks hopefully to the only one who hasn’t spoken up on the matter.

“I...”

“...do NOT agree to call this WHACKADOODLE anything of the SORT!”

“...”

“But I won’t stop the REST of you morons, I GUESS.”

“I’m EVERY BIT as TIRED of this as YOU are.”

“Mmn...”

He’d probably be chewing on his lip if he had lips. Or teeth.

“Well?”

“W-well...”

“I... I’ll do it!”

“Seriously?”

“Heck yeah!”

“You will?”

I really shouldn’t be the most surprised when it was my idea.

“Mmm-hmm!”

“I-I guess I have a lot to get ready...”

“Please excuse me!”

He does about half a curtsy before speeding down the hallway. Upon hitting a dead end, he panics before turning around and speeding the other way until I can’t hear him anymore. I’m not convinced he didn’t just stop in the middle of the hallway once he was out of sight. Guess it’s not too important either way.

The awed silence in his wake doesn’t last long.

“Well. I rather think it’s high time that abomination called off its little game.”

Kanagi cuts off before she can loose a very visible whoop.

“Uhh, called off? But, like, he’s totally doing more of the game-y stuff?”

“But the trial is to locate... the young master.”

“.....”

“So the GAME should be OVER once they get SNIFFED OUT here! Do I have to spell it OUT more than THAT?”

“I think we get the picture, thank you.”

“I may ask for a more exact timetable for this investigation. Mobilizing the current investigators efficiently over so many floors will be, uh...”

“A little tricky.”

“I’ve never wanted to ask, because I feel like he’d give us less time than we’d have otherwise.”

“I suppose I wouldn’t be surprised either way.”

“Do we, like, even gotta get all the floors?”

“We’re totally just looking in the lab room or whatevs, right?”

Mahavir frowns and retrieves his student ID.

“My, you’d have difficulty organizing this lot to examine a single room?”

“Unsurprising, but still pathetic.”

“Wrangling this crowd is a feat no matter how many rooms are involved.”

“It ought to be more than Lab Room A regardless.”

“WHAT? How about you SPEAK UP! Unless you DON’T want anyone to hear you, then SHUT up!”

Mahavir glances between Ichiriki and Tsunyasha, who at least isn’t facing him. I casually step between those two.

“How so?”

His eyes go to his electroID screen.

“10. All rooms with relevant evidence will be accessible during murder investigations.”

“Thus...”

“...If it has to do with the killer’s identity, we should have access! Right?”

I look to the other smart person in the room.

“It’s a valid reading, certainly.”

I start to ask if there’s a less favorable valid reading, but on second thought, why give the young master any ideas they may not already have?

“Good. Let’s see what we can do.”

Is it wrong to be optimistic? Or maybe it’s been so long since I’ve felt that way that I’m completely misidentifying the feeling.

But this is really the end. Us versus the young master. Whoever outsmarts the other wins, and the game is over. And no one else even had to die.

Of course, if we get it wrong...

“..........”

But we won’t. Even if one person here is against us, there’s no way five Apex Academy students can’t win out.

Let’s finish this.

SO. That Star Rail 2.1 story, huh?

Come for weird shenanigans in Dreamscape Disneyland run by Space Mormons, stay for ... shit, why am I crying this hard over someone whose face is THAT punchable?

A few comments below, spoilers ahoy!

They've clearly decided that they're going to hide the important characters that they want to have mystery around/big reveals for in the 4 star characters. Which honestly is brilliant because the leakers mostly don't give a shit about the 4 stars, they're too busy digging up every last morsel of info on whoever the latest big titty 5 star waifu is to bother. (Said with love for the characters themselves, just ... truth.)

I did have an inkling that something was up with Gallagher back in the 2.0 story when the other Hounds seemed not to know him that well, and knew for sure something was sus when the ones in this patch didn't recognize his name when he was standing right there. But I did NOT go as far as to expect Hot Vengeful Murderer. Holy shit.

That having been said, thanks to drip marketing, we know that at least some (one) of the victims are not entirely dead, and a big deal has been made about the nature of death in dreams, so my current theory is that he's less full murdering people than he is somehow waking them up or sending them to some other portion of the dream. We will see!

In other husbando news, Aventurine is the most meow meow to ever meow and I would die for his smarmy pitiful wet cat in a designer suit ass. Someone on Discord said that this is his EN VA's first voiceover role and if that's true he has a fucking brilliant career ahead of him because he fucking killed all of that. It takes talent to maintain that level of "you want to punch me and then hug me and then punch me again through the tears" throughout that much spotlight time.

And speaking of VAs, Allegra Clark. That's it, that's the comment. Allegra Clark. Just imagine a ton of sparkly animated hearts here. I feel so, like, seventh-hand proud of her after first encountering her as an Isabela cosplayer on my Tumblr dashboard back in the Dragon Age days.

(The EN VAs are killing it in Penacony - like, this is a level up for sure.)

I'm glad I've been diving into HI3 lore because it made the conversation between Acheron and Welt so much more meaningful. I'd be curious to hear from someone who has no idea about HI3, though - I think the weight of the connection would have come through regardless, but it'd be interesting to hear what someone thought.

I'd been spoiled about the Firefly-Sam connection a long, long time ago - thanks leakers, I've mostly flyswatted you on YouTube now, but for fuck's sake - but I'm super curious to actually hear about how that works and how they fit in with the Stellaron Hunters.

There's just ... so much. SO MUCH. EVERYTHING HAPPENED SO MUCH. EVERYTHING.

[punishing-eden]

There are two types of the holy trinity, (husbando edition)

[sailorsenshishitposter]

Lady x Reader

I swear I thought I uploaded this but apparently not. Highly cursed so enjoy.

Lady

You and Lady were at devil may cry, waiting for Dante so he could give Lady what he owed her. In case he went down fighting you had a sealed jar of olives and a water gun filled with holy water. You had been standing there for 20 minutes and said "I'll go see what's taking him so long." and you then climbed up the stair case. You knocked down the door with your boot and held the water gun in the air only to drop it and stare in confusion and horror. To your disgust, Dante was making out with his body pillow of Guy Fieri and was moaning something about going to flavor town. Your eyes made contact and then you ran back downstairs to where Lady was. Before she could ask what happened you shouted "INTERVENTION. NOW!".

You weren't sure on how to go about this so Lady called Vergil and informed him of the situation. Suddenly there was a flash of light as something made a cut in the air and the older twin popped out. "I can't believe I'm doing this..." he grumbled. You all waited until Dante was sleeping and then ambushed his room. You held the water gun and yelled "DON'T MOVE OR I'LL SHOOT!". Dante was about to question what was going on when Vergil sat down next to him. "Brother... Your friends called me and I think it's time we had a talk. You know Guy Fieri is never going to get rid of the restraining order don't you? Why don't you just hand me the pillow."

Dante hugged his body pillow tighter and yelled "YOU TOLD HIM?! YOU TRAITORS!". Vergil put a hand on his brothers shoulder. "It's alright Dante, we're not here to laugh at you. I understand. I used to have a crush on Gordon Ramsay.". Dante laughed at his brother and said "man you have shit taste in husbandos huh? Well then, if you want it, then you'll have to take it!" Vergil unsheathed Yamato and said "That's fine by me." and then quickly stabbed his brother in the chest.Lady picked them up by the back of their coats  and said "Fighting is for outside, you know the rules! Now you're both being put in the time out room!" She dragged them to the bathroom and set each twin in a corner. "Now think about what you've done" she said as she locked the door. Vergil then started to claw at it pleading for her to let him out because Dantes toilet was clogged and he refuses to be in a room with "two pieces of putrid waste". Dante then sniffed at his armpit and yelled "HEY! I HAD A BATH LAST WEEK, I'M NOT THAT DIRTY!"

They both began to squabble and the two of you decided you would just rob Dante and take some money out of the cash register. You opened it up only to be greeted by spiderwebs. Lady then dragged you outside and got a can of gasoline. She lit a match and soon all of devil may cry was burning. You looked at Lady and said "Good thing Dante has house insurance."
