We Need More Feral Mask

:) stick one out for your homie

[eveledoze]

Which tadc ship do you like more? Funnybunny or Showtime?

oh well long-post comes-

okay i did a little searching, since i often don't understand such ship names. if google doesn't lie to me, then the first one is Pomni/Jax, and the second is Pomni/Caine.

damn, I thought funnybunny was the name for Ragatha/Jax 💔💔

i don't ship Pomni/Jax but i find the pairing cute. i don't sense any special dynamic between them, Jax just makes fun of her the same way he makes fun of everyone else because he's a jerk (i say this lovingly). when i discovered that this pairing was the most popular in the fandom, i didn’t really understand why, since i wouldn’t say that there was anything particularly interesting going on between these two. I think the dynamics between Jax and Ragatha were more distinct, which I immediately noticed, they had tension and i really liked it x) but then, after thinking about it a little, i realized why Pomni/Jax is the most popular ship (I guess?? it's just my supposition) — people combined two of the most main characters, one of whom is a badass-tumblr-sexyman, and the second is an angsty ordinary person with whom people could identify themselves. anyway i just find it funny that so many people like this ship. i saved fanarts of these two a couple of times because i thought they were cute. to be honest, kitsch's (@ bunnyjesters/ nuzipilled) works probably influenced my opinion about this ship the most. arts with Pomni and Jax from kitsch is probably my favorite among all the other fanarts for this couple, i think that he well preserves their canon behavior and characters despite the fact that the pairing itself in the cartoon is non-canon, and their interactions in his art feel quite realistic for me! i love how kitsch draws them and how he uses gestures and body language to show their emotions, it's very, very cute. so yeah, i don't ship them, but i do find some of the fanart of them cute. i drew this a while ago, so have this if it will make you happy 🌸

now Kaine/Pomni...ahmmm, to be honest, i was even more surprised that this is probably the second most popular pairing in the fandom? :D apparently it really comes across often and haha, i don’t understand it... i’ve never been interested in the dynamics of student/teacher or employee/boss, in my understanding there can be no romance in their relationship, maximum platonic, family relationships, understanding each other. Kaine is very quirky and doesn't seem like he's interested in romance (i generally like Kaine/Moon, but i really think Kaine is just confused by Moon's behavior since he's not interested in her romantically x)). it's more like he treats all the guys in circus like friends, colleagues or something like that. so yeah, it's weird for me to see romantic stuff with Pomni/Caine, but like the first one, occasionally i might come across fanart with them that i think is cute. once I saw a mini-comic (don't remember the author) dedicated to that circus teaser, in the comic Caine suddenly appeared in Pomni's room. Pomni, out of fear, hits him sharply, after which he got upset and she began to apologize <з

if we talk about my fav ship, i love Ragatha/Jax! i don't remember this "name" for the pairing, but yes, that's them. dynamics like theirs are my favorite dynamic in couples, i just love it when characters can't stand each other lol. i love the tension between them and i'm afraid i paid too much attention to it while watching the pilot... oh my god, a moron, who pisses everyone off, with a good-natured girl, who wants to help everyone, but she has to deal with this asshole. i guess it's the "from hate to love" trope, right? i like that the first thing that manifests itself in such couples is negativity, they just piss each other off and cannot calm down. but after a while the annoying cools down and they begin to open up to each other. ofc i don't know Gooseworks’ plans, but you guys probably thought that Jax is actually not such a jerk as he shows himself to be, and in fact he is a deeper character, with his own traumas and trials? let's not turn this into a tragic sob story, but nevertheless, Gooseworks said "every tadc character has a reason why they behave the way they do" and i believe that we will be revealed that. it seems to me that to some extent Jax and Ragatha can complement each other. Like, you know, it’s like N helps Uzi cool down and be calm, and Uzi helps N to be confident and defend his positions. maybe Jax can show Ragata that her toxic positivity is not the best option and sometimes you need to be tough, and Ragatha can help him open up, share his problems and well...to be less jerk-like. and yes, of course i can't get it out of my head that Jax called her "dollface" while he gave the others rude nicknames haha

also i like Ragatha/Pomni, i probably don’t pay much attention to them, but they're good. there are cute interactions between them and it seems that Ragatha was better than the others in being able to approach her and become somewhat of a friend. Ragatha has this energy of a caring mother or something, so her desire to help Pomni get comfortable in the circus and direct her to positive thoughts is cute. at the same time, Pomni looks extremely confused, but Ragatha is the one she turns to because she seems the most adequate and friendly of the others. i liked to draw how they hug, but in i think that most likely Ragatha would not have allowed herself to hug someone without asking, at least she would have asked permission x) however, it seems to me that physical contact and kind words are Ragatha's way of support, so simply holding hands with her would calm Pomni down

also i like Pomni/Gangle and Gangle/Kinger and i don'tind other ships as well !!

Heya there, Could you please share your crocodile and luffy headcanons +pregnant croc please?👀👀👀🙏🙏

Thank you Thank you!!!😭😭💞💕💕

Sorry for the late reply! But here i am!

Since you didn’t mentioned if you want to know that about my au or the canonverse, I’ll talk about my Revolutionary Crocodile au only, since in the canonverse Croc left newborn Luffy into Dragon’s arms (literally), and all the context, during the pregnancy and after, is pretty sad I prefer to tell just my au.

But if you are curious about the canonverse anyway, just ask for it! And I’ll share it in another post.

Let’s start!

I’ve shared time ago this Croc and Luffy hcs in this post, that also has a draw 😊 so just click it and read what i said there!

I just wanna add:

- When Luffy said that he wanted to become a pirate to his daddies, Crocodile put his hand on his shoulder and said him: “Go and make me proud”.

- (connect to the one above) Crocodile totally supports his son goal, and hopes he will become king of pirates, realising for Crocodile the dream he had to put aside.

~~~

Now about the pregnancy 👀

(A bit of context and then the hcs)

Crocodile had so many doubts about his situation, he surely didn’t think he could have a baby (well Iva mentioned to pay attention to that, but since never happened before Luffy, he thought was not a possibility!)

He decided in the end to call Dragon for telling him about his condition.

He was so afraid Dragon would told him that he didn’t want the baby and to be left by him. But Dragon was so happy! He loves Crocodile so much, he was busy with his duties and wasn’t present (he literally never called him, stupid Dragon) until the day they met.

The draw I’ve made for Croc confession and Luffy’s birth:

After that day, Crocodile and Dragon announced to the other Revolutionaries about the pregnancy and Iva was the most excited of all, they self proclaimed “the baby’s auntie”.

Dragon proposed to Crocodile and asked him to be a revolutionary. Croc was never convinced about that, he loved being a pirate but it was better for the baby if he would have stayed with them.

So they got married (by Kuma) when Crocodile was still pregnant.

Now the hcs!!

- As every pregnant person, Crocodile craved the worst things ever. He already loves Crocodile’s meat, but he asked to combine it with strawberry jam and whipped cream one time.

- Luffy wasn’t a easy pregnancy at all, that kid was always hyperactive.

- Dragon used to caress Croc’s belly while saying him sweet word to him and their baby. Croc loved it a lot, and one time he even cried. But he said that was because something got in his eye.

- Crocodile soon as he understood that he was pregnant, he stopped smoking. He struggled a lot for that, he needed to smoke, but he cared for his baby’s safety the most.

- Iva checked weekly Crocodile and Luffy’s conditions, and they also discovered with their powers the baby’s gender (hc i have about their powers).

- Crocodile’s body wasn’t made of sand, because his baby couldn’t survive in a body made of pure element. But he could use his powers anyway, but without transforming.

- While alone, Croc loved to put his hand on his belly and listen to his son’s movements. It was a moment just between them. He even talked to Luffy. He was so excited to met him.

- Since Luffy’s birth was getting hard, Kuma after seeing Crocodile suffering so much, he taken away his pain using his powers.

For now I’m done! Thanks for the ask 💕 and sorry again for being so late.

Hope it was enough satisfying as an answer haha

Anyway thanks for the ask, I’m always open to answer to anybody, so feel free to send me what you want.

Even art suggestions, if i like the idea, I’ll draw it.

[cat-mermaid]

i fucking love hearing about what people think Rain World is based on fan art that comes up when they search it/me gushing about it

had one confused person ask me about wat this was all about and i was all oh yeah its this game that came out 7 years ago thats getting popular again because its getting all these new dlcs and i can't stop thinking about it

so they did a search and were like all i'm seeing is these... chibi robot guys and i was like OH YEAH they're such a huge part of this u only ever see like two of them tho haha one gave himself computer cancer lol its so fucking sad and you can't save him and you keep coming back throughout the years and watching him waste away and they're like but. the mask guys....?

me: OH THEM OH YEAH u never meet them. ever. they committed civilization suicide! i love them they're so cool :)

tonight someone in my dnd group was zipping through my tumblr to find somthing i posted a few days ago and was like gosh i love all these silly wiggly guys (Scavengers) you keep posting! Wats that from?? so i tell 'em and later they tell me that they can't find any of the wiggle guys, just a lot of drawings of weird hot dog ferrets and scary lizards that puke a lot

i have explained to people at my job the reverence the game makes you feel, the quiet sadness and longing to know the people who lived in this world who are long gone. The world slowly being power washed away by solid walls of rain created by the exhaust from those people's massive living super computers, the ones who've been left to rot away for eons and denied the very escape allowed by their creators. How this thanatos based civilization wanted escape from the most boring and suffocating version of immortality so bad that they sacrificed their own world's eco systems and climate in that quest by building more and more of these living super computers in the hopes that with enough of them, a solution/escape from their pain could be found. How in the end all we know is that one day they abruptly enacted a world wide (no doubt forced) mandatory suicide (basically what it was if you look at it on paper) likely cos things had gotten so bad on the surface of their planet that they wouldn't even be able to grow enough food to sustain themselves while waiting for a "solution" anymore

one of my coworkers heard all this (from me) and got so fucking hype that they whipped out their phone to see what this fucking game looked like and

coworker: *eyes narrowing* this is a fetish game?

me: No, fuck no. Fuck no sir

*they hold up their phone*

me: NO GODAMMIT. someone just drew the fat one extra fat! ok?! why did that come up on google

them: why is there a big weird winnie the poo

me: its the most OP one! you can land on lizards and break their spines!

disillusioned coworker: this doesn't sound like part of a grand eternal cosmic tragedy

[joellalovestoread]

time for a doodle dump!

so I bought a mini notebook a while ago and called it my “silly goose book” a poll decided it would be for doodles. So here we are.

couple side notes: it’s all sonic first of all. Second, some friends of mine contributed too! Unfortunately only one is on tumblr but I’ll make sure you guys know when they add something

so here are my favorite doodles in this book so far:

first drawing in the entire book! Text bubble is courtesy of @sxftlii-lizziee

extra silver! that’s from my friend camila. and espio is there too, looking traumatized. The “pure bisexual panic” is pointing to espio and silver since they just give that vibe.

this page is pretty decent overall. The more defined doodles are mine. So rouge and charmy with dark outline is my doing. my friend aryhana did the other rouge, @sxftlii-lizziee drew espio “forever weed brownie” and also tails

the two tails drawings with dark outlines were my first time drawing him so they’re mid. Aryhana drew Sonadow and tails. and @sxftlii-lizziee drew maria (“mom I’m dead haha”)

the blaze page. the one with just her head was my first time. The one below was my second time. Aryhana drew her with a regular cat body and @sxftlii-lizziee drew full body tails. she drew a lot of tails in this book. I drew the tails head that’s sitting awkwardly in the corner because I needed practice. I drew team future and Aryhana added text bubbles. Silver saying, “I want men” and blaze saying, ”I wish I had a girl to kiss.” (real)

Amy rose and Amy and blaze making out as requested by Aryhana.

you can never stop me from drawing Espilver in class.

chao talk magazine. I posted a similar one for silver a bit ago but lmk if you want me to make one for rouge as well. (I know the text on rouge’s is blurry so it says, “In this issue Rouge the Bat responds to the Golddigger allegations.” “‘This is absolutely ridiculous. I’m not that evil!’” “+ An exclusive interview with Knuckles the Echidna, Guardian of the Master Emerald and subject of these allegations.”

[theneighborhoodwatch]

The neighborhood map changed again! I'm not sure if the black thing (to borrow a Madeline L'Engle term) under Home has grown anymore. Some things I notice are Poppy's house's windows shut, Barnaby's pawprints, vines growing on the roof of Frank's house, and lots of sidewalk chalk doodles presumably from Julie (and maybe Wally drew Frank's face?).

I've noticed subtle changes to the neighborhood in previous updates too, but with more continuing to happen, as well as content we've gotten this Halloween update, I have a feeling these neighborhood changes are more... current than we might have previously thought.

This is a bit of a long shot, but I think everyone in Welcome Home is active, at least somewhat. Some characters are more aware than others. Maybe they're "waking up"; we've had two puppets, Wally through his doodles and Sally through the Halloween record, speak directly to us now.

In the secret bug audio, found on the transcript page for the Halloween record, the puppets mention that the spooky storytelling went well, as if it's a direct follow-up to the Halloween record. It's a discrepancy, sure, but perhaps not an unfounded one. Maybe the neighborhood's stuck in some sort of limbo between the present and the past, and only now, with the WHRP, Q/A, and us discovering it, is it literally reviving in front of our eyes.

correct me if i'm wrong, but uh - weren't all of those map details present from before the halloween update? i'm looking at these screenshots and my older captures of the map to compare, but i can't find any differences. i'm pretty sure the map's the same, aside from julie and frank's character cards changing to make it more explicit that they were intended as a couple in-universe (haha, knowing what we know, that's not worrying at all. /s)

anyways, to get to the Meat of this ask: i don't sally was speaking to us in the storybook record, just the neighbors As A Group, but i definitely think this update makes it a Lot more likely that home (the town) kind of exists, like, Outside of linear time? that it isn't so much that there's a divide between the stuff that was produced Then and what we see in the present day so much as it is that the stuff that the WHRP is uncovering is like, a window into what's going on in home Right Now, whether they realize it or not (and something may be actively blocking them from realizing??? not sure if it's that or if it's simply willful ignorance; i suppose we'll see.)

i'm reminded of a couple posts i made a little while ago, about the possibility that welcome home as a proper show never Actually existed, and the stuff that the WHRP's digging up is welcome home's attempts to will itself into reality anyway, for lack of a better description. but it also suffers from being tethered to a single person/group of people's Vision of it instead of being allowed to be an ever-evolving thing, or only being allowed to evolve in a Specific way. i dunno. i just kept thinking about that the entire time i was reading through this update.

anyways i'm also thinking about the way wally's eye-eating ability was represented in that post-storybook tape. i kind of like that it seems to be almost Overwhelming for him, like he hasn't gotten much of an opportunity to try it out before (if he's gotten any opportunity) and is like "oh. Oh. Oh. I Get It Now. holy shit." i don't have much to add onto that and that's just how i see it as of the time of this writing, but i would feel foolish if i didn't make note of it for later.

[weaselishmcdiesel]

do you!!! have!!!! a trollsona!!!!!

hahah yes i do!!! in fact, i was asked this before but since then i updated my sona ^^

i drew this a little while ago n never posted it bc it was just for a friend hehe, i do want to explore their lore a little. like make ancestors or something haha

[vorecommunitywoes]

im not gonna use anon anymore cause the name thing at the end kinda defeated the purpose of it looking back on that ask but you ARE correct about the boundaries thing

most of my time in the 'sfw' vore community was spent in discord servers and i've noticed that tumblr and discord are kinda two distinct different ecosystems regarding the community, but it was very common for people to push boundaries and make it clear they only cared about vore content rather than any serious stuff that might be going on in the space that Any Normal Person would care about. like, multiple times i remember showing discomfort with how a person was talking to me and people in the server just brushed it off, and other times when me or others tried pointing out outright zoophilia (this happened so many times im not joking) that was being posted people would just immediately go back to rping a pokemon swallowing another pokemon or smth the moment the situation was over it was gross.

also they were more enforcing of age limits (i can at least give them that but its still weird allowing minors in general to discuss vore with random adults in public servers even if theres a higher age minimum) so from what i remember that's probably why i lied, even tho looking back i probably didn't even have to lie at all cause there's literally a server that allows all minors (i had come to the owner one time abt someone i had in one of the servers i ran that tried lying about their age and was clearly not old enough for discord and they had brushed it completely off) + has unrestricted nsfw sections that's still up TO THIS DAY.

and while this is definitely a separate issue i do think it ties into the topic of 'sfw' fetish spaces because a lot of people i saw in those servers were furries, and it's often very normalized for people to just be openly sexual around minors in furry spaces. i'm not saying the furry community is just as bad as 'sfw' fetish communities because i am a furry and furries aren't really inherently a fetish thing unlike vore and other things, but i do think behaviors in that space very much have influenced how people in places like 'sfw' vore servers act because ive seen other minors just straight up call themselves submissive bottom femboys in both communities without anyone blinking an eye about it.

also??? regarding boundaries people in the community are just kinda vile abt different tastes for no reason????? like obviously that isn't the case for tumblr a lot of people supported my work despite (or maybe even because of) the fact i often depicted characters from weird choices of media, but on discord i would have people just outright act disgusted towards me just for the fact a lot of the characters i drew were humans (they still sometimes cared abt the source but like they somehow cared more often abt it being humans), even though i never really tried to shit on their tastes outside of like jokes of "oh haha 'hear me out' and its just a tall wolfgirl aka the most generic female pred in these spaces" only to have staff be like "oh it's just their opinion you know people don't like that stuff". they will expect you to respect their boundaries and tastes even when its literal zoophilia or pedophilia but then get mad and disregard the fact you are another person with ideas and opinions if you just have a harmless preference for characters and tropes that are just more unconventional than their dommy mommy 50 foot tall dragoness.

(if you want i can repost the anon ask with your name blurred out, on top of the non anon asks you sent if you want this to stay disconnected from your main blog)

.....how has the sfw vore community stayed the exact same since i was in your shoes almost a decade ago? what the fuck. almost exact experiences and everything, down to the exact types of shaming and violating.

this feels like it could have been posted in 2016 and nothing would have changed (except for the more casual femboy identification, that was more considered a slur around that time)

im so sorry that u had to go through all of those frankly harrowing experiences, u deserved better.

[townofcrosshollow]

A while ago I started writing this little... idk, horror romance short story? About a man catching up with an old high school friend who may or may not be a murderer. This is an unfinished snippet, but I felt like sharing it, if only to give myself the motivation to write more haha.

CW for implied violence and suicide

Wesley Short was not in the habit of keeping up with old acquaintainces. He only scrolled Facebook occasionally, when boredom drove him to look empty-eyed at smiling vacation photos and baby announcements. His old high school "friends" were all getting on with their lives, pages plastered with photos of their prim and proper lives, having children of their own that they could afford with their fancy post-university jobs. Wesley never left Best Buy. College went south after his parents died, and that was that.

But today, hunched over his laptop in bed, still in his uniform, Wesley was paying very close attention to Facebook. He'd opened it up idly after all his other distractions failed. And he had a message. It was a familiar name- Tammy Skinner, an old high school fling from before he concluded that girls weren't to his taste. They'd been good friends in those days even after the sex thing didn't work out, skipping chemistry and smoking together in the alley behind the soccer field every other day. Those were good days. By now, Wesley's throat was atrophied, the chatter long gone from his muscle memory.

Back in the day, Tammy Skinner could never stop talking. Her words had always been winding and unfocused, stories leading naturally into new ones, rarely giving Wesley a moment to talk. He didn't much mind that, not having much to say himself. But this message was brief, no explanation for its existence, casual, like a heads up. "Kieran's in jail." And attached, a link to a local news article.

Local man missing. Foul play suspected. His roommate, unnamed in the article of course, has been taken into custody under suspicion. Wesley knew who that man was, though, like he know the sun would rise tomorrow. Kieran.

***

Wesley met him around when he and Tammy decided to be just friends. Kieran transferred to their school after the Christmas break- rumour was he got expelled from his old one. Tammy's mom was friends with his mom, so the moment he arrived he was glued to her. This was not a normal teenager, that was clear as soon as Wesley laid eyes on him- he had a tattoo, an infinity sign on his wrist, below an arm peppered with scars. He swore at teachers. He wore dark clothes, intentionally ripped and stuck back together with safety pins, t-shirts for bands with unreadable names.

One Tuesday, Tammy was home sick with the flu. Wesley's heart clenched when Kieran sat down next to him on the windowsill in the lonely hallway where they always had lunch. Why was he still here? Tammy wasn't. He was Tammy's friend.

Without a word, the boy flipped through a spiral bound notebook to a fresh page, producing a red pen from his pocket. In scratchy lines he started to doodle. Although doodle might have been the wrong word for it- there was far too much force behind every stroke, like a toddler learning to hold a crayon. Ink had spilled through rips on the adjacent page, and the ghostly outlines of figures danced in indents. He drew in silence as Wesley ate his sandwich, glancing down every once in a while to see what was forming across the page.

Kieran was not an artist, or at least not a talented one. His drawings were not elegant or beautiful. But they were particular in a way that kept Wesley's attention. Rather than lines, he drew in scribbles, shading in forms and leaving empty space to indicate boundaries. A series of models took shape as the break continued, each not quite proportional, twisted in slightly unnatural shapes. And they were not whole. On one, the shading stopped at the neck, oval head not quite attached. Another was just a torso, yet another was posed christ-like with lines dripping from its hands.

"That's cool." Wesley spoke the first words since lunch had started.

"Thanks." Kieran's voice had been scratchy and coarse back then.

Weslsy pointed at a person on the page. "Is he getting hanged?"

"Yeah." As if to clear up any confusion, the boy went over the line that indicated the noose again, scribbling harder until the page ripped just over the neck.

"Why all the death?" It sounded like a silly question as soon as it had left Wesley's lips. Because he was a teenager.

Kieran shrugged. "I watch a lot of horror movies and stuff. I wanna make one someday."

"Like, directing? Or acting?"

"Acting... or special effects, or something, I don't know." Kieran was distracted by drawing spikes around the outside of one of the figures, like an iron maiden surrounding it. "It's gotta be cool to be, like, the guy holding the big machete and seeing all the fake blood go everywhere when you swing it."

"Yeah. That does sound cool." Wesley gestured at the page, asking what again struck him immediately as a silly question. "Can you draw me?"

Kieran didn't hesitate. He found a mostly empty corner of the lined paper and started scratching a body into it with long hair, a crude approximation of his acquaintance. He paused once the figure was complete, his pen tip circling the doodle as if to decide what cruelty to subject Wesley to. Eventually he scrawled out forked shapes around him pointing inwards, as if ready to stab into his flesh.

"Forks?" They looked like dinner forks to Wesley.

"Supposed to be like, pitchforks," Kieran clarified, "like you're getting tortured in hell, y'know?"

"Oh. Yeah, I see it."

Kieran shrugged. "Could be forks too. Like cannibals are going to eat you." And Wesley nodded along. Weird kid.

***

"Did he do it?" That was all Wesley could think to say. He hadn't talked to Tammy Skinner in what... 5 or 6 years? The occasional happy birthday message or like on a photo would be shared on whatever social media he hadn't yet gotten rid of. She had gotten married at some point to a man who looked incapable of keeping a marriage, and her new baby didn't quite look like him. She was a virtual stranger now. But they shared this, this memory of the weird kid at school, that tied them together over all of that distance.

Tammy didn't respond right away. Wesley got up to grab dinner. Microwaved mac and cheese. By the time he got back, artificial cheese sauce staining the corner of his lips, he'd gotten something. "No idea."

"Well has he been charged or anything?"

"They don't have a body so they don't even know what happened to the guy." Now that she was at her computer, Tammy typed quickly. "But they searched the house and found a gun, so they're charging him on posession without a license. Probably just so they can keep him there."

Considering his next question thoroughly, Wesley typed out a few different variations before settling on one- "Do you think he did it?"

"Probably."

***

It would be innacurate to say that Wesley became friends with Kieran over the next few months. It was more like he became a minor fascination, drip-feeding tantalizing tidbits that needed to be deconstructed and put into context. Kieran got suspended once for flipping off the principal in a meeting about constant dress code violations. He listened to Swedish metal bands and owned a real record player. His dad wasn't in the picture. He took a bunch of medication, for "everything under the sun," he claimed. He had a cool folding knife that he brought to school one time. He tried LSD. He liked true crime shows. He played Call of Duty and Dark Souls.

Kieran was tall, lanky, tattooed and pierced, with dark hair that partially hid his face and a pair of big era-appropriate thick rim glasses. His nose was a little asymmetrical, like it had been broken years ago. His lips were chapped and tight. A few patches of facial hair were starting to show, light and wispy, betraying his youth below a much older looking facade. Wesley wouldn't have called him attractive before meeting him, but there was a sort of magic about the kid, this intensity that drew him in. But a constant rotation of girlfriends and his own teenage lack of confidence stopped him from acknowledging it.

It was only towards the end of senior year, as finals grinded on and girls shopped for their prom dresses, that something changed. Tammy was home sick again. Kieran and Wesley were alone again. It was mostly quiet again. And the months of fascination didn't make Wesley any more able to speak up- if anything, his nerves had grown until that conversation about pitchforks and cannibalism seemed impossible. But Kieran, scribbling new torture methods into his battered notebook, took the initiative. "What's your next class?"

"English," Wesley responded. It was probably his best class, and even then, it was questionable.

"Wanna skip?"

The question caught Wesley off guard. Not because he didn't skip classes- his grades indicated otherwise. But because Kieran had never joined him and Tammy in their secret hiding spot behind the soccer field, and he'd certainly never hung out with Wesley outside of school. "What'd you wanna do?"

"My mom's at work if you wanna come by my place," Kieran responded blithely, still doodling away. "I've got weed."

The promise of mind-altering drugs calmed Wesley's nerves a little, with the prospect of an excuse for his awkward behaviour looking almost as good as free weed. Still, this felt off. Maybe because Kieran had been a distant fascination for all these months, the idea seemed impossible- seeing his apartment, his bedroom, smoking with him. It was like zookeeper being locked in with the gorillas. Something about it felt dangerous, wrong. But the answer was still yes.

***

As evening ticked on into night and then early morning, Wesley could not stop reading. He hadn't felt this invested in something in years, since depression had dulled his senses. Local news articles were annoyingly sparse with details, only a few paragraphs each, regurgitating the same facts as each other. It built only a loose picture of events, but one he could understand well enough.

Just over a week ago, 26 year old Theo McCarthy had failed to show up for a scheduled therapy appointment, prompting a welfare check at his apartment. Police had arrived at his apartment to find that his roommate claimed not to have seen him for three days. He hadn't shown up for work in four days, after calling in sick the day before his disappearance. A missing person's report was filed, but his roommate refused to let the police search the apartment, leading to a search warrant being taken out and a discovery of an illegal firearm in the roommate's posession. No clue to McCarthy's whereabouts was found, according to the articles at least. Searches were still ongoing.

In the comments sections and Reddit threads about the disappearance, theories ranged from suicide to murder to an accident that had been covered up. A few brave commenters pointed out the simple fact that there was no reason to conclude he was dead, though of course this less sensational view of things was met with heavy downvotes from true crime enthusiasts. The conclusion of most, it seemed, was that his roommate had shot him and dumped his body in the nearby lake. It only made sense.

Kieran's Facebook page was a ghost town, but it didn't take much scrolling through his friend list to find the missing roommate's page. Clicking a photo of a smiling young man at a beach, he was brought to an equally barren profile- Theo was the same age as Wesley. He had studied at the local college, and went to a high school on the other side of town. He didn't have a listed job. His last post, a photo of him with his family at the beach from which his profile picture had been cropped, was littered with well wishes that transitioned over time to thoughts and prayers for his wellbeing.

Another message came through from Tammy. "They set his bail pretty high, so I think they're trying to keep him in there till he confesses or something."

Wesley glanced back at Kieran's profile picture, at his thick furrowed brows and his crooked nose and his cracked lips. And he typed a response. "How much?"

Hi Steph! i messaged you a while back because someone recommended my fic, and it was very touching. well after hiatus, I finished the entirety of season 1 of Reichenbach Falls! one third is done, which comes up to 550K words! I am so excited to have actually pulled it off, oh my god it was like birth, and i was hesitatnt to post because, well, it was a long time since my last update. but of course I'm not done with it LOL, it's gonna haunt me more as I publish s2 which is the next 110 chapters out of 303(https://archiveofourown.org/works/26233390/chapters/128797882#workskin). Season 1 can now be read as a standalone, since it is all finished and came full circle. I just had to share because I am so proud of myself for once??

oh and i wanted to share my friend Bee's illustration of Jim Moriarty, who is the bad guy, of course, a mixture of himself and Bill Cipher. He's gorgeously MURDEROUS!

he is the GOAT. as is my lovely friend who drew him over a year ago when we brainstormed season 2. He's just the perfect little meow meow.

I guess that's it C: I am just excited, and proud, and ready to write the sequel hehe *hides away from exam season*

I started this fic when I was 20, now I'm 23 and it's like having a toddler, IT WONT LET ME SLEEP AT NIGHT!

That's it I guess haha, sorry for the chaos (it's thematic with Jim, tho), but I'm a little ball of emotions and I actually managed to log into this tumblr lmao

I hope you have a lovely day, as everyone else too :) you guys are the best here! thank you for being so kind :)

Reichenbach Falls by VeeTheRee(M, 551,435+ w., 105/303 Ch. || WiP || Gravity Falls /  Multifandom AU || Alternate First Meeting, Gay Sherlock, Mutual Pining, Unilock, Summer Romance/Love, Fluff, Insecure Sherlock, Villain Mary, First Kiss, Slow Burn, Doctor Who, Supernatural, Canadian John, French Canadian Lestrade, Insecure Sherlock, Mystery, Domestic Fluff, Developing Relationship Summer Love, Light Angst, BAMF! John, Case Fic) – Two Canadians, two Brits studying in Canada, and an upkeeper walk into a Mystery Shack…. and live there. Summer holidays are here, and the step-siblings, Irene Adler and Sherlock Holmes, find themselves in a boring town called Reichenbach Falls, Oregon, USA. It isn’t as boring as it seems, however, once Sherlock stumbles upon a mystery journal, and the author is unknown. The journal contains ciphers, a strange colour wheel, and information about magical creatures that are said to be looming in the Northwestern forests. With mysteries to solve in hand, he and Irene set out to get to the roots of the town, and the abrupt disappearance of the author of the journal. But they’re not alone - John Watson, quite the handsome nephew of the Mystery Shack owner Greg Lestrade, is on their side to help out, plus mess with Sherlock’s feelings, in a good way. Shenanigans, romance, fun, danger, and deductions ensue. Oh, and there’s also occasional SuperWhoLock and two dorky Winchester brothers to spark up the action later on. Part 1 of the Reichenbach Falls series

And NEVER apologize for being chaotic!! I and everyone here loves it!!

Everyone go give this fic some love, and, if you haven't checked it out yet, give it a read! <3

I actually got a few Questions to ask

1. Whose your Favorite TMNT Ship to draw/Write For

2. What is your opinion on Krisa and Zodi

3. Which TMNT Characters did you want to add to the comics but couldnt

4. Even after your run on the comic ends will you still be drawing Fanart

5. Who else of the Splinter Clan Students is their Best besides Hector and Wanda(btw that Wanda post really brightened my Birthday yesterday thank you)

Don't have to answer them all just ones you want too

Jenny/Sheena

I like Krisa but Zodi I'm more ambivalent about.

Shadow Jones is the main one, I kept trying to add her to storylines over the years but she always ended up on the cutting room floor for one reason or another. I drew probably four different versions of Shadow for different storylines/pitches that never happened. I had some ideas for April's sister Robyn, too, but I never got around to her.

I'm sure I'll still draw some fanart here and there!

Happy birthday!! Glad you liked that Wanda pic, I did it a while ago but forgot about it, haha. I think Sheena and Ibrahim are probably the Splinter Clan's best students besides Wanda and Hector.

I love the Popcandy ship but I gotta ask, what motivated you to do it ? Did you look at both characters and think they had chemistry akskdjfh

Ahh is a very gay story

To begin with, FNaC is my favorite Fangame. I knew about Candy before it was named or given a game (he is originally from Tumblr!!!), officially dive into it when FNaC 3 came out (by 2017 I knew enough english to understand what was going on haha) and begin to work on a FNaC AU to tie it with my FNaF AU

On the other half, POPGOES is Octy's favorite Fangame. She is invested on the story, loves the character design and the protag name pun, finds it quite charming. I think she mention that she knew about development from 2015 before it was pushed to release in 2016? Cant remember. She also had a powerhouse of information from many cancelled popgoes sequels

When we met and became friends, the topic of fangames came out while I was working on my AU. I told her about what the lore of FNaC was (she had surface knowedge) and she introduced me to POPGOES and the rollercoaster that is their lore.

And on that excitement, she said “POPGOES is to me what Five Nights at Candy’s is to you”

A year later we started dating. Two years after that the Fazbear Fanverse was announced and both POPGOES and FNaC got in with a reboot and a new entry. I drew the whole fangame crew before I focus on the friendship of this two before I remember Octy's words from 3 years ago and I drew Popgoes and Candy in a more romantic way to reflect us. You know, something silly

I was unaware if this was even a ship. I know people like to do crossovers of stuff in fnaf but I don't really interact with the community that much, or I do with the gijinka/humanization side more. I'm blissfully unaware of many things

On that same year, just two MONTHS after the Fanverse announcement, I get hit by this

...and that did it for me. Final nail in the coffin, the ship had sailed and found a place in my heart.

Of course I know it was a joke response and a jokeship- but you know what they say about jokeshipping: Never jokeship two characters or it will become the strongest ship you can have inside of a fandom and without any concent you will be forced to provide content from it

But hey, is a harmless ship, it makes me and my girlfriend happy and nobody on the dev team have said anything negatively to make me stop liking that (I also take precaution they dont see it)

The chemistry of this two is very silly too, but im going to make this post even longer if I beign to point out why I ship them with universe details.

hello! much love to your fics with rosie and brady. i could go on and on about them, and how well you've crafted the women of silver bullets. i did have a question:

as someone who loves writing and MOTA, and has let that churn in my head and onto a Google Doc as a full-blown, multi-chaptered fic (it's Benny x OC), i want to share it somewhere, for no reason other than i love to write and i love MOTA. but i've never had a full on Tumblr blog, and i don't really know where to start. do you have any advice?

hey anon!! thanks so much for stopping by, i hope you're well!! :D AWE thanks so much!! you're too kind!! they've been very, very fun to write alongside the silver bullet ladies, so i really do appreciate that!! :') i'm excited for what's to come with the bunch! <3 thank you again!

OOOOOO OMGGG!!!! that sounds MEGA fun (especially a benny x oc, as a benny girlie i *LOVE*). okay! so, i can relate this back to how i started with writing and uploading and all - in late 2018 (jeez that was a WHILE ago), i started watching Band of Brothers and then was like - i want to write about this but with an OC - and eventually started writing, but....didn't know where to go from there. i was in the fandom, but didn't talk to many people and just didn't feel comfortable putting my writing out there. i eventually chatted a bit to someone else who was writing BoB OC fic and they gave me the courage to really go for it and post it! they were someone i could really talk to, which helped me to understand my writing, my OC, and my development for the story as i went. having someone there to be your cheerleader and help you navigate things - i found that to be incredibly helpful!! :)

i'll keep typing under the cut haha

SO, i ended up posting the fic and it really gave me a driving force to keep creating and writing, and each time i uploaded, i became more and more confident. i initially posted to Wattpad, but then i started expanding more on here, and trying to do more and then began posting my third BoB fic on both AO3 and Wattpad and that seemed to draw in interested people, and i have since continued with that platform from there.

i'll be honest - i've gotten busier over the years, so i've slowed a bit with how much content i put out, but make it manageable for yourself and what you want to read and write and enjoy! i struggled a lot with that, but finding your groove and what you enjoy is definitely one of the more important factors of it all :) i split between MOTA and BoB and write when i have some extra time, and what i feel like writing and it makes things enjoyable!!

another thing i've really loved - writing snippets, posting moodboards, song inspo, writing one-shots/taking prompts - it helped me to understand characters and dynamics much better than i thought it would! and drew some people who were interested in as well! it was just fun to create and feel some enjoyment with those OCs and characters through the years!

i think always go with what you're comfortable with, but posting about the fic, putting it on tumblr/AO3/Wattpad, wherever you are comfortable posting, or chatting with people is always just things that i've done and seen others do, but i always do it to the extent that i find fun and enjoyable - and there are SO MANY wonderful people who would love to chat, read and discuss anything MOTA/MOTA-fic related (including me haha!), so explore and enjoy!!

this wasn't entirely coherent, but is how i usually go about things at a pace i think is manageable for a busy college student!! do what you love and enjoy!!! SIKED to hear more about this benny x oc fic haha!! :D

[sindumpster]

OKAY not to get all sappy but like, the fact an artist i've looked up to for years loving my art and even calling my art style cute despite how shitty it is just like, really shows how crazy life works sldksldk- really makes you feel good 💙

It's like when my favorite musician followed me on instagram a while ago, i never got any message back from him (yet), but just the fact of acknowledgement makes a pretty big impact y'know?

Maybe it also has something to do with the fact i've been pretty much hiding myself until i was "ready" to show, so stuff like that can kinda be overwhelming in general- idk what the fuck i'm saying anymore just thank you so much Wiggy lmao maybe now i can try doing more with my life-

It is cute though!! But forreal happy I could, and definitely between that and insta a sign give yourself more credit too :3

But I totally get it, first step in showing anything you’ve done is super intimidating and hard. And art is hard. So it like, super makes my day when it’s like “oh hey that person I see in my notes and asks a lot drew a thing!!”. And just seeing people draw or start posting their art is very cool to me, anything I can do to encourage that <3

You are very welcome too! But also thank you for making my day/night haha

[evilyodastwistedworldofevilness]

damn people liked this. I'm very grateful and i'm def gonna do more stuff like this soon haha anyway heres like a bunch of wip photos get ready

So when i said i made this awhile ago and never posted it i was not kidding. I made this shit in July 2023. That's a problem i got i make a shit load of stuff and never post so whoops!

I think originally i wanted to make this based off against the kitchen floor but before starting i decided on making just a whole ass will wood reference pile. The fucked up gent on the stage is my reference figure who i use to make sure i'm not fucking up the proportions. He has a fucked up sun i drew for a face, the hawaii part ii album art as a shirt and i think there's something on his back and i don't feel like checking lmao

idk why i made this render but it's the stage from behind.

The stars and moon. You can see me messing around with different lights and stuff here. I think I was partially inspired by the carnosol of progress from disney for this part.

Working on backstage here. Really cramped back there. Make's it hard for making renders but i think it looks cool though.

Swapped to some more colorful lights and started working on the theatre seats (idk if thats the right term for that)

The crowd itself. I had a lot of fun with this part creating all the unique poses for them. I did the band later as i forgot about them (i'm so sorry tapeworms).

Just gonna point out some random stuff I did here in this part

The SELF-ISH creature about to bonk the EIAL fellar over the head with a wrench for sleeping during the show

Elijah Volkov being a creep and staring at Sydney while Rowan shoots him a dirty look

Sydney and Jedidiah being sillyyyyyyy

The Wealth and Hellness dude trying to flirt with Aphrodite by offering her a fancy diamond (she dgaf)

The Ferryman about to fucking murder the Wealth and Hellness dude (The Ferryman and Aphrodite are besties)

Up and Adam just watching all this go down and enjoying himself

(Not shown in the picture) Mike pointing at Adam for stealing his style (I couldn't find a good smiling bearded face so i needed to make up a reason for him to be mad)

Mr. Jamface dipping the fuck out and flipping the crowd off (or maybe he's waving or something who knows lol)

Just a random render

oh shit theres a fuckin 30 photo limit? damn uhhhh next post then!!!!!!!

Ermm...What the flip is a "Will Wood?"

Awhile ago I made a Will Wood LEGO set in the program Studio 2.0 based off his album "In Case I make it," and just never posted it anywhere. Contains a bunch of references to his songs, his albums, those tapeworms that he has, stuff he has worked on with other people, etc. Some of the character's are based off preexisting stuff while others is more original I guess. Still not the best with captions cuz I got nothing else lmao

More photos below!!!

Some dark lighting here. This is how it's supposed to look but when I showed this to my friend they said the images were too dark and like fair it is pretty dark so I made a bunch of more renders but with brighter lighting so you can see better

Ahh! so bright!! so so bright!!!

I'd probably make some changes to this like changing the designs of some of the figures and maybe add other designs but I don't got it in me to rerender everything so oh well it is what it is lol

Can you guess the references? First person to name all of them wins a photo of a scary monster!!!! ahhhh!!!! so scary!!!!!!!!!

Okay here's the answers lol

I feel like i complained a lot in the caption of this post but I actually do love how this came out and I really enjoyed doing all the fancy posing for all the figures and I really want to do more stuff like that

(and I already did get ready I got more of this stuff lmao)

For a lot of the character's I had trouble finding good parts that actually matched with the design so some of them are just real wonky looking. Part of me sorta wishes I made an original design for SELF-ISH but at the same time I think just having the actual art from the cover being placed on top of a LEGO dude is really funny.

like look at this shit lmao

I'm probably going to make a followup to this post showing off like the 800 wip renders I did of this anyways follow for 800 reblogs of random ass shit and NOTHING ELSE
