Howdy! I have an ask, but I'm not sure whether or not I've already submitted it (I think I did in my dream ?? I'm not sure though. I might be hallucinating) so sorry in advance if I already have!

Anyways, how do you have your puppets keep their poses during shots? Do they have wires inside them? I've seen strings occasionally when you have stuff float, so a combination of different materials for different things? And how do they stay up/keep their balance? Ooh, also, do you use/have you ever tried using magnets in them? Anddd last one, which puppet are you the most proud of?

Uh yeah! That's it! Thanks! Love your puppets!

Howdy!! Yeah I DID get the ask, I just take AGES to answer I'm afraid!! Sorry about that!! But good news then!! No, you're not hallucinating!! ;D

And yes!!! They have wires inside for limbs and everything!! Fingers too!! But I don't think I've used string before to hold them up? I use wires a lot, to hold up items, the puppets themselves and so on. That's probably what you saw? They're very useful!! But yeah basically, I use whatever is convenient and different situations call for different materials, I remember using LEGO to hold something up once?? XD

Some characters can hold their balance on their own, but NOT for stop motion!! Just pictures, you always need something to hold them up when animating. Frisk, Chara and Sans for instance, they can all stand on their own. Papyrus not so much, he's too tall and his legs are flimsy, so he almost always has wires to hold him up.

Here are some wonderful demonstrations with the guys!! The wires just hold the puppets however you need!! I try to hide them, but that's not always possible...

AND YES I HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT IT AND I REALLY DO WANT TO TRY MAGNETS!! They would be SO useful you have no idea!!? I just need to get some and try it out!!

And your last question... That's a tough one... I REALLY love how Koffin turned out, he's also super unique from anyone else I've done. Papyrus OF COURSE is up there!! Sure did take a while but he got here in the end!! And, not to pat myself on the back or anything, I think he's just REALLY SUPER COOL?? But I'm also really proud with how Sans turned out?? He was the first one I think where it sort of clicked for me and it just worked? I dunno... Probably these three... BUT THATS LIKE PICKING WHOS UR FAV AND I HATE THAT!!? I love them all, each and every one!! Yes, you too Flowey...

Your welcome!! And thanks for the questions!! Glad you live em too!! :D

nikolai hunting ghost down whenever they're on the same base and plucking him from whatever duties he has to whisk him away somewhere private. he has no authority, nothing more than his reputation as a rogue pilot with a few screws loose, but the way he fearlessly manhandles the ghost has people ducking out of his way anyway

behind a locked door, he offers ghost the choice of either curling up at his feet or sitting pliant in his lap, his full weight against him with his head lax on his shoulder; warm, comfortable, boneless

he then tucks his mask up above his lips and plies him with fruit and sweets; things he'd never buy for himself, indulgences he’d never entertain, wasted on a hollow shell like him

but nikolai? oh, he knows how much he deserves them; these precious moments of peace where the only thing ghost exists for is the next delicious bite

he feeds them to him one by one; thumbing strawberry juice and powdered sugar from his lips, humming in pure pleasure as he sucks it away, and smiles at ghost’s involuntary shivers when he feeds him his favourites. ghost doesn't even know what most of the sweets even are; what they’re made of or even what country nikolai buys them from. he just knows he loves them; loves the chase of nikolai’s fingers on his tongue after each one even more

nikolai always brings plenty for him, always draws it out, wanting these rare breaths of contentment to last for ghost’s sake as much as his own; offering plump bites of tart, homemade treats, letting rich chocolate melt between his fingers so it's soft in his mouth and watches his eyes flutter shut as he savours it

decadence incarnate; slow taught and hard won

ghost licks the dregs from his fingers and suckles them long after they're clean; the thought of an empty mouth so wrong to his sweet-clouded mind. nikolai coos in russian down at him, brushing his fingers through his hair as he holds him close, but he's too far away to take in any of it; the only thing holding him in the present the sugared fingers held gently in his mouth

after all, nikolai's always been his favourite sweet

After the war, the former Coruscant Guard love to wear bright colours and decorate their living spaces with them, surrounding themselves with light and beauty.

Every colour but red.

I might write more of this myself later, but...AU where steve and eddie hooked up a bunch during high school. at every party, they'd seek each other out. eddie quit dealing for the rest of the night; steve made some excuse to his friends. they found some spot, eddie's trailer, skull rock, wherever else, and got to know each other more intimately than they had ever let anyone else know them.

except, a catch.

eddie, who smoked and drank and got high all night, has no idea that this keeps happening. as far as he knows, steve harrington is just king jock supreme.

steve, who was always the designated driver, limits himself to one, maybe two drinks.

he remembers every little detail.

me sorting through the survey results for the "least favourite warrior cats character" question while being a onestar enjoyer

[royalcommunistthor]

MCU Loki is literally a spoiled brat. Guy had a luxurious cell with mommy sending him his favorite soup everyday, new astronomy books.okay I'm going to leave him alone. I would spoil him too but he literally said that he has never walked much. made face at the talk of work. Said ugh at responsibilities.

he's so funny like i love that he had a baroque ass looking bed IN PRISON. nothing but the best for frigga's specialest baby boy.

to quote my mum: you really stop giving a shit by the time your youngest is a fuck up.

not every wish, but just enough: a short Valentione story

(with apologies to @escherstrange-ffxiv for possibly mangling her Au Ra boy (apart from the lines she gave him already); any and all errors are mine - please don't take Jules away, I love him so and AU!Oudine will never forgive me if I lose him)

Once upon a time, in the perhaps distant, perhaps not-so-distant because who can say really, future of the Sharlayan AU:
