Hooray, another form rejection.

Good evening, tumblr-dot-com. You should all be informed that I have shown up to a party approximately four-five years postmortem and I am struggling to be normal about it.
Anyways here's some space pirates because I have now drawn them each at least once in the Simplified Style.




Don't pay attention to why everything is markedly different in quality, this is normal. And also I am scrabbling desperately for accurate impressions of characters and their dynamics please be nice
Oh yeah and here's a secret, bonus Gunpowder Tim from the same sketchbook page as the Nastya because I can assure you everything on that page has a similar tone (I was having a time)
#the mechanisms#jonny d'ville#gunpowder tim#the toy soldier#nastya rasputina#drumbot brian#ivy alexandria#ashes o'reilly#marius von raum#raphaella la cognizi#art#drawing#traditional doodle#traditional art#dont pay attention to any of this actually. I'm very bad at things.#don't ask why the toy soldier is So Extra (i got carried away). don't ask why marius looks like that (i was tired).#don't ask why tim has no real discernable emotion in both his pose and his expression (i was struggling just slightly).#i'm just a little guy#i cannot answer these queries#sigh.#oh to be a space pirate instead of fulfilling my societal duties.#i need to finish listening to the rest of the albums i haven't gotten to and thus i bid you all adieu.

13 and 20 for any of your ocs
Hi Potato!!!!
13. Do you have a voice claim for the character? What do you imagine the character sounds like?
YE OKAY so. Funny thig about this one. Despite having probably created a dang near 1000 characters over my life time, I think I have maybe... 4? voice claims??
sorry for the blurry quality of the images, all I have is 3D Paint to use on my works computer bleck
Firstly is my oldest OC ever, Sissy, who's singing voice only I have had claimed Hilary Duff since I was in middle school haha. But her actual talking voice? Not really - I've never had a voice for that. But this song, I Can't Wait, in particular has been both MY all time fav song on the planet, and Sissy's unofficial theme. Hung He and his twin Roku were the same, only their voice's sounded EXACTLY how it sounds in Bowling for Soup's rendition of the Bare Necessities. That one I still claim to this day haha. Roku is quieter/calmer tho.
Otherwise, another sonic OC, Boom, I voice claimed specifically as John Kim after watching The Librarians. I am uncertain if I still want that for Boom's human form in Neo Oldesville haha.
Finally! The ONLY character in all of Neo Oldesville to have a voice claim! The one! The only! The illustrious! Cy! It's currently Stephanie Young, especially from her rendition of General Armstrong from the FMA: Brotherhood anime. Very tough, strong, and no-nonsense.
Otherwiiiiiiise I have a few characters with pretty set voices in my head for them but not really everyone? I'd say the clearest one I have after these few is Ree Porter, who sounds basically exactly like those old early 1900s fast talking reporters on the radio that everyone likes to make fun of.
Weirdly enough I have nothing for the Terrances. lol.
20. Bonus question: share any additional thoughts, art, favourite scenes, anything you've been waiting for a chance to ramble about
IF I HAD THE ART I'D SHOW IT BUT IT'S ALL IN MY STUPID NOGIN AND IT WON'T COME OUT KAJFGKAFDJGAKDJFGADG
I've been having a ton of fun putting together Flint's newest friend, and [one of his] eventual protégé, Locke, and his BF...who has no name as of yet haha. I'm still trying to hammer down his design as what I currently have just has too many layers/is a bit too busy for me BUT JKADFGKADFG I LOVE IT STILL UGH.
Anyway Locke was heavily inspired off of Jake Marshall from the Ace Attorney games, and like his mentor/idol Flint, Locke also carries at least one fake gun on him at all times - in his case a fake flintlock gun that shoots out a cork attached to the end of it. Yes. I chose that gun specifically for the puns. I'm very quickly falling in love with this silly cactus man.
I also have an unfinished thumbnail outline for a comic from Flint's past I really wanna draw - but idk when that will happen at this rate pfffft. Mostly because I keep changing another character's storyline who shows up in the comic. But it's supposed to be the explaination as to why Flint has the oversized jacket he wears [which is SUPPOSED to be noticeably oversized haha I just...I just suck at drawing it baggy haha..ha....ughghhhhhh]
Also! Lotti is getting an updated design! Don't worry, I ain't changing a huge amount on her haha, mostly just again simplifying her outfit a bit and giving her a specific work uniform that better fits her job. I am also planning on removing her back wings as they just get in the way 90% of the time/even I tend to forget them. Her ears will remain wings tho cuz those are adorable <3 I think I still have the link to the outfit I was thinking of updating her dress to [but keeping her pink/white colors] around here somewhere... Here it is! Tho I might make it a bow tie..
Finally... @/saribrum thought up a hilarious Gravity Falls/Terrorcarnival crossover that I almost wanna draw stuff for hahaha. Our favorite part was the idea of Terrance just wandering the forests of GF in the dark, becoming some new terrifying cryptid for the town that Dipper and Mabel try to find, all the while just thinking to himself "WHERE THE FUCK AM I!?!!?!" and being horribly confused the entire time hahaha it was very funny.
ANYWAY A WIP I HAVE NO IDEA WHEN I'LL FINISH WHOO ✨

#news today#ask: potatothemouse#oc ask#I wish I had more voice claims man. I have such specific ideas in my head tho and maybe that's my issue haha#like I'd love to get Lotti Columbo and Query some voice claims#but idk im just bad at it haha#the wip is from a 'draw the squad' pose thing i found on pinterest idk who drew it off the top of my head ill have to check when i get home#its on my ipad still#but i have sooo many ideas and things about neo oldesville i could talk about for hours#i also DESPERATELY want to redo their toyhouse profiles and make them shorter but uh. that requires writing again haha uhgh#i also cant seem to get myself to do that atm

Six Sentence Sunday (and one emoji)
[Jamie]: Really? Did we have to make a new chat just for this?
[Isaac]: No, Dani's got the the right idea. We're dealing with a legend. We may need to coordinate our behaviour appropriately to make sure we don't scare him off to a different team
[Jan]: Which means until otherwise noted, you do not have the signal Jamie
[Jamie]: 🖕
#six sentence sunday#this was going to be for the non-consensual touching square on my BTHB card#but then I wrote a *different* zava thing for that so this is now the#bad things happen text chain fic#until I think of an actual title#in related queries - does anyone know a good source for formatting fics to look like text messages?#or at least something that simplifies the dialogue name / timestamp formatting part of it?#I'm not looking for one of those picture generators for text messages to be clear#though I'll probably need to figure out how to do emojis on ao3#eesh#writing snippet#jamie tartt#afc richmond#zava#(implied zava at least)

getting a very clear sudden thought in my head to meditate but realizing that means going through all the steps of setup
#my candles....my incense.........the anointing oil for the candles THE HERBS#MY TAROT CARDS !#ok when i say meditate i just mean call upon the deities i work with and pull cards because i havent done this in a hot min#maybe i'll extend the ask box open for queries if anyone's interested. but only like 1 or 2 cards#and under the guise of 'what is it this person needs to hear' because im bad at predicting and deep specific questions#idk i only read for myself and one other significant person

i would like you to know that i had a dream recently that i read acod and the polyamory was non canon and only like baited (polyambaiting???) and i got so pissed and sent you an ask ranting to you and then you admitted you were jenn lyons' personal marketing manager responsible for making sure all the little gay people in your phone bought her book
anyway i still have not gotten my hands on this series i'll do it if it's the last thing i do
Honestly jenn should hire me at this point I'm getting the little gay people in my phone to read her book for FREE! I am like half the tag I swear
Anyway, so sorry for lying and helping polyambaiting everyone in your dream </3. I've reflected and have decided not to change my ways everyone read a chorus of dragons for the totally real and true polyamory *wink wink*
I hope you can get a copy soon and join in the fun!!
#a chorus of dragons#quil's queries#dark-night-star-light#gay people in my phone you want to read acod. you want to read acod so bad

Time to revive this blog, too, as I left Instagram back in January. Here's one of my favourite pieces that I've completed in the time this blog's been inactive! Entity and its little one love you very much. Inspired initially by a clip of a black swan on a koi pond. The swan and the koi were moving together, and my brain went "oh hey wouldn't it be neat if that was some sort of single, gestalt-consciousness entity? Oh shit. I gotta draw that now" and off we went to the recursive celestial entity races. Started it sometime in '22, I think, and finally finished it in 2023. Didn't mention it on Instagram when I posted the finished piece (I kept my fandom stuff on the down-low while I was there), but as the little hatching entity entered the concept and started taking on more form and personality, and the piece's focus began to shift to the Entity's gentle, inquisitive, almost protective observation of the little newcomer's emergence, the piece soon became quiet fanart of Castiel and Jack in my head. In qaftsielworld, Jack gets to eclose from a mountain under the moon, stars, and their mom and guardians' loving gazes like a good little celestial-material entity deserves.
Tombow and Prismacolor markers, gelpen, Micron pens, and Stuart Semple Black 2.0 on bristol, approximately 23x28cm/9x11in.
#traditional art#my art#oldie but goodie-- started in '22 and finished in '23#surreal#trypophobia cw#lots of eyes#multiswan#entity loves you#trueform!cas#trueform!jack#and chuck and luci and cw execs and bad wigs and rebar get perma-punted into the empty#and none of them ever enter the narrative ever again in any meaningful way for ever and ever amen#not drawn: dean being held by a Cas-fish because he is incorrigibly broody & can't be trusted to stay put at a safe distance unsupervised#funniest consequence of working on this in public: numerous queries as to my sobriety#who needs chemical assistance when you live at the intersection of a hyperfixation multiple special interests & an overactive imagination#tombow markers#gel pens#micron pens#prismacolor markers#stuart semple black 2.0 paint

ykw I need…18+ avanine hcs….im bein gay and horny and i don’t have my girl next to me so I guess I’ll settle for this instead😔
(also avanine is so cute but jagory is also so cute and honestly Janine got two hands so 🤷🏾♀️
(oh and I love ur art, avanine for the win‼️ )
omg tyyyyy hehehe (she DOES have two hands) oh i have some art i never posted here actually!
janine finds out that she reeeaaally likes using the strap on ava and she also likes being all harnessed up because the tightness makes her feel secure. ava likes biting and janine like being bit. janine likes being marked in general. janine and ava both like being in control but also like giving up the control and ava likes when janine tells her what to do more. janine really likes when ava gets her nails done stiletto style and ava gets the strap a little bit harder those days which means janine gets really nice scratches. they've done it a bunch of times in ava's closet but once they almost got found out they strictly stuck to only in the lady lair (after hours) for janine's comfort
#wish i had a girl so bad ur so lucky anon ;-;#NEWAYS ty for the ask HEHEHE i hope u like it#queries#mi arte#avanine#ns4w#<-if yall click on that tag in my blog youll see a couple more goodies :3

Does not sound like that job respects you bro you should absolutely not feel guilty about leaving.. they were trying to put all that work on u the week before your wedding.. and for 15 an hour.. maybe if they did their jobs and hired someone 6 weeks ago instead of being lazy and expecting you to pick up the slack they wouldn’t have a problem..
Thank you 😭 you are so right and thanks for the encouragement
hard to remember that I don't owe this job shit just bc it's less obviously abusive than food service...
#quasar queries#support SO appreciated#hard to think over the part of my brain that screams that i am a bad partner for briefly experiencing financial changes

Look, I just think it'd be funny if I sent Pax out for querying. The problem is it will not be funny if I fuck around and almost snag a contract.
#there is no greater book here#It's like two chapters of a stand alone story but every once in a while the Icarus in me wants out#Like do I struggle with querying because my stories are legitimately bad or is it because I don't care for mass appeal

The choice that has your MC express a preference is "But if I chose one, I'm afraid the other will never talk to me again", after which Jade asks MC who they lean toward, and MC's response is coded (i.e. you don't get to choose who they say they prefer).
#playchoices#immortal desires#choices id#gabe adalhard#cas harlow#I didn't choose that one but now I'm curious except what if the way my game reads it isn't how I feel when I romance both of them. fear.#unconquered queries#update! I did end up replaying to see who my MC'd pick and she (correctly) said Gabe but I still feel bad bc of that talk with Cas earlier

earlier today my dad was like "it's so nice that you're doing well right now" so i guess that means i've been doing a good job of concealing the overwhelming waves of existential despair that overcome me every week or so like clockwork about being an incredibly bored and boring college grad who lives at home in my childhood bedroom after coming back from college, got a complete useless degree in english literature that has gotten me exactly 0 jobs postgrad, who has no friends except my own sister who are within a drivable distance, who works a part time retail job as my only source of income, and who has no idea what i want to do with the rest of my life or where i will end up
#i'm aware that my life is not bad!#my parents are fine. it is generally fine living at home at home with them. my current retail job is in a bookstore which is nice#but also. being 22 is so bad. it is is such a bad feeling. 0/10 do not recommend#i feel like i am supposed to be doing more than i am currently but i don't know how to be more#i want to be published author but i'm too scared to query anything. i want a different job but i don't know what it is. etc etc etc#pie says stuff#delete later

you’re reading fourth wing . . . oh my goodness good luck soldier i hope you’ll be able to get though it with your sanity intact . . . let’s hope you still like dragons after this
Everyone keeps saying "goodluck" or "godspeed." have faith, soldier, in my love for the trenches.
i've braved dastardly pits before and I'll brave them again 🫡
#quil's queries#nonsie#i think it'll be fine#also my love for dragons knows no bounds one dragon book wont change that. i got through h0arded by the dragon just fine <3#though that wasn't even really a book about dragons. that was just double dick breeding smut#i think it'll turn out to be like. a mid na fantasy. maybe some questionable choices or moments#but overall just solidly mediocre. and perhaps even in a fun way!#but also open to being wrong in either direction. open mind#this isn't like my reading bad books on purpose thing this one is#goddamn there's a lot of talk both ways I want to know what's going on first hand#but don't worry guys. i do have another bad book lined up#don't know when I'll read but I've heard bad things and i'll tell you all about it <3#it's just. a long one. so it'll be a little bit more of a commitment
