HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I’m imagining a scenario where Wukong takes Na out on a birthday dinner date, and out of nowhere, he grabs the karaoke microphone and “serenades” her by singing 22 by taylor swift 🤣

oh my god totally

I like to think maybe they got to ‘rent out’ pigsy’s noodle shop after hours and had a lil birthday party/dinner for Nà.

The whole gang would be there hehe

And what’s a loud party without a drunk Wukong screaming at the top of his lungs. That would be one intoxicated monkey. It’s ok he’s the life of the party. Just singing at Nà the entire night

as much of a fan as i am of arthur falling head over heels for merlin in the lower town during their fight and knowing the entire time while merlin reluctant to admit he actually finds arthur sometimes pleasant to be around until like a year later when he's like "fuck i kinda like him as more than a friend" when he's actually in love with him,,, the alternative has been plaguing my mind recently.

merlin is like "aw man he sucks but destiny is destiny" until like around the poisoned chalice when merlin drinks the wine and falls unconscious and he's wondering to himself why he would do such a thing and like yeah nimueh probably cursed it so he would drink it but also he's not really that upset about it?? he's kinda relieved??? why???????? oh bc arthur didn't drink it so he's fine and alive and oh he's checking up on me and his voice is soft and not at all mocking or brash like normal and his hand is on my shoulder and my heart is racing and i'm blushing and his touch is so warm and- oh fuck. so merlin is like reluctant about feeling this way but makes his peace with it, hoping that one day it'll just fizzle out. but the thing is: it doesn't. merlin continues to fall deeper and deeper in love with arthur and it just becomes a part of him like his magic. it's a simple fact. he has blue eyes, he has black hair, he has magic, he's in love with arthur. it becomes intertwined with his very being and he can't imagine ever not loving arthur.

meanwhile, arthur is fond and protective of him idiotic, bumbling servant. he's also a good friend not that arthur would ever call him that but anyways arthur keeps him safe bc if it weren't for him, the fool would trip over air and impale himself on his own thumb. so arthur grows more fond and protective of merlin as the series progresses and yeah at some point he finds it in himself to murmur the word friend to merlin but he blames that on the wine and the late hour. then he finds out merlin has magic and it hurts. arthur isn't entirely sure why either but he knows it hurts to be around merlin, to hear him, to see him, but it also hurts to be apart. so he swallows it all down and sits with merlin to lay it all out. anyway time skip and he sees merlin as he truly is without all the hiding and lying and the fondness and protectiveness just continues to grow and grow and grow. he watches merlin cast spells and watches his eyes light up gold and gods isn't he just beautiful. no wait- okay he's in love and gods is he fucked because now he can't managed a damn sentence around the man and morning and evenings are torturous in the best way. merlin bodily dragging him out of bed, his touch never leaving as he strips him of his night clothes and dresses him for the day and sits him down at the table before sharing stealing his breakfast. at night he's much slower as he strips arthur, his fingers dragging across his skin and his words spoken low and soft. the sweet heat in his blood isn't new but the force of it almost knocks him on his ass.

just merlin being his usual enamored self while arthur is flooded with these feelings he couldn't name before but now that he knows just what they are, they lodge in his throat and block his words from escaping him, they block air from filling his lungs, and they keep blood from flowing through his brain. arthur shutting down while merlin is oblivious and concerned and pressing his hands to arthur's face and pulse and leaning in close and asking all these questions as his eyes shine with worry and this isn't helping-

disaster!arthur x oblivious!merlin is actually my new favorite dynamic. forget what i said at the beginning. this is it.

Misha said fag in the context of "when I was growing up, homo and (pause) fag were thrown around all the time, it's good that there's ao much positive gay represention now" (paraphrased). So it was while saying something good.

ohhhhh ok i was confused lol. i was assuming he wasnt just throwing slurs around willy nilly but i wasnt sure what the context actually was lol

Prince Jenson of Somerset

+ process & lore

Yayyyyy omg finally have drawn portraits of the four main characters!!!! I'll show the process of Jenson's first and then them all four together. Though it's a shame the Seb/Fernando ones are older, I think it's hopefully obvious how much I've improved since November?

Look at him in all his handsome, princely glory 🥹 It's funny, I'm always happy with the second sketch and initial lineart, and then I start coloring it and I absolutely hate it, and it takes a significant amount of time into the painting for me to like it again. And then I reach a certain point and I'm in love with it again. Ugh though I gotta say, I love drawing the curls, it's just so 18th century, but at the same point, man I always will love my original lineart for the hair the best ah. Also yes I absolutely had to give him a big ass hat with feathers, he really is that kinda guy to me. I originally drew a bicorne and then realized that those don't really exist until basically almost a century later oops, so tricorne it is!!

Okay now omg look at them all together 🥹

Haha wow I have improved a lot! Just like the Seb/Fernando ones, Mark and Jense's were meant to be put together. I think there's a lot of inherent characterization in their poses that highlight the difference between them. Mark is looking up, very wistful, looking up to greater people, greater things. Jenson's head is tilted down, almost looking at the viewer, he is very satisfied with his role and revels in it, he's here to slay!

Okay, yes, lore, characterization, sorry that it is so far down on the post!!

Jense would probably be the fan favorite if this AU was an actual book or show or something. He's the guy you randomly find while browsing Wikipedia and you're like, woah this guy is so cool??? Unlike Sebmarknando, he doesn't really have the same level of angst, he's kinda just chilling. He's a bit harder to write a lore post about, because he's basically that character who is always magically around the corner, ready to witness some crazy thing and just breeze past it.

He is less linked to Seb than people like Mark and Fernando, because he's basically just his personal minister of transportation(read: horse fucker), so he avoids a lot of the relationship complications and drama, but that isn't to say he's completely uninvolved. He really likes Seb, and loves to hang around with him and serve him, but he's not as beholden to him. He's who everyone goes to air their grievances or to get away from the others, and he's very happy with this role. He's generally willing to play any side in an argument, but does tend to have a pretty big soft spot for Seb overall(Seb also gives him cuteness aggression, and he wants to bite him. Especially when Seb puffs himself up and acts super bratty when he gets offended at not being seen as a proper ruler.)

He's royalty from other kingdom, but pledged his loyalty to Seb's kingdom when he was quite young and has served him(his father first) ever since. He started off somewhat low in the military, rose to a pretty high rank, was a renowed war hero, and then ended up retiring pretty early to tend to Seb's horses. That's an oversimplification, but yeah. He liked the military life, was very good at it, but decided he had done enough, and wanted to be involved in more direct service, albeit more laid back. As I mentioned in Mark's post, Mark *really* doesn't understand his choice to do this, because if Mark had been in Jense's position, he can't ever imagine being able to let all that go and living the quiet life.

He is the palace whore, everyone has been with him honestly. It'll be like, some man walks into his bedroom, only to see Jenson in bed with his wife, but instead of being angry, he's like "wow you couldn't even wait for me??" He's just very carefree, and happy to just slut around and tend to Seb's horses.

I think he definitely still advises Seb, and would go to battle if truly need be, but generally seems to be living in a different world than the weird psychosexual homoerotic political drama that the others seem to be living in. But as I said, it's not like he doesn't contribute to it! He loves to goad Fernando, and constantly plays devil's advocate in "debates" between Fernando and Seb. He's also obviously the one that keep "accidentally" locking them in rooms and forgetting where the key is.

Sorry if this isn't very explanatory, I hope it gives a general idea to the type of character he is???? As always, let me know if you have any questions! I kinda struggled on what to write here because I'm finishing this at almost 8 am 😭 so I'm not sure if it's great or not. But basically you need to know: horse fucker who is generally breezy and carefree but also can be a bit of a menace to society every once in a while.

you should totally draw skateshot with boombox watching from a distance

You are on THIN ice there anon. /lh

Guy who's under the stress of a long awaited like I'm talking centuries peace treaty between his country and the one they've been at war with (for like centuries), who almost died playing 4D chess with the (new and unexpected) enemy (who's team was meant to assassinate him), who's long-time frenemy (now full friend) almost got assassinated (she lived) (she's the princess and heir to the empire his kingdom was at war with), who's mother also almost got assassinated At The Ceremony FOR the peace treaty (currently incapacitated, actively looking for a cure before it's too late), who almost just had his best friend he doesn't quite feel himself without just get murdered right before his eyes RIGHT after swearing to protect it no matter what

Zoom in on this panel bc this has to be one of the Alfonses Ever. That I've ever drawn LMFAOOOO

Meanwhile

[chaoticnerdsstuff]

Enid would simp for Morticia. Like she would probably be spilling facts about her and complimenting her every chance she gets and Wednesday gets pissed off by every comment

Wednesday: My Mother already has a fool under her spell, I am sure she doesn’t need another.

Enid: I completely forgot she’s your mom holy shit- 

Wednesday: Don’t make this weird.

Enid: Willa, I am in love with your mother 

[wandaxpietro]

content warning for magneto inclusion in the ship bcuz I am deranged sorry 😔

ok but concept bcuz I am deranged. silver age brotherhood time. wanda and pietro having sex in their room, talking in their native language (serbian to me but you can choose) and giggling and being cute. they left the door open a crack on accident and magneto walks past and lingers for a few moments, not really knowing why he's watching them anyway. a few year later he finds out he's their dad. oopsie.

[fluffypotatey]

Speaking of Merlin's telepathy, I'm adding that to my list of "Eldritch Horror Merlin" facts because my headcanon for the telepathy thing is that there's a limit to it, like, you can only be so far from someone before you lose the ability to 'hear' them, and some of the powerful ones can be heard from further away, but you still have to be within reasonable distance, so Merlin doing a magic radio public broadcast is fucking terrifying.

Imagine being a Druid in Camelot, living your secret magic life in your secret magic hippie camp, making baskets and weaving cloth and shit, and suddenly you hear the DISEMBODIED VOICE OF GOD rattling in your skull at full volume, cussing you out (not you in particular, just whoever in general) about yet another assassination attempt against his consort and how much harder you're making his job and how things won't change without effort on both sides and if you could fucking knock it off please and thank you before the presence disappears again, and you're left sitting there holding a half-done reed basket in your lap, you're sweating even though it's October. Every other adult in your camp has also frozen like a game of Ye Olde Red Light. The children play on, sweetly oblivious.

The elders make the entirely spontaneous decision for your camp to make a pilgrimage to the nearest shrine and leave offerings to Emrys.

some sorcerer doing their thing: *singing softly* do you remembah! the twenty-first night of sept-- merlin's weekly broadcasts: HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO SAY STOP POISONING THE WATER WELL??? the sorcerer: JESUS FUCK merlin: FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY I WILL SMITE YOU IF YOU TRY ANYTHING ELSE TODAY DON'T TEST ME merlin: I MEAN IT *sound of something clicking; broadcast over* the sorcerer: the sorcerer: *voice shaky as they try to finish their task* Ba-dee-ya, say, do you remember? *sniffs* Ba-dee-ya, dancin' in September! Ba-dee-ya, what the living fuck was thaaaaaaaat?

[wandering-aloneo-o]

can't remember if i said this already or not but shout out past me who when getting wheeled into the operating room to get my tonsils out, and asked by the surgeons if i was okay with them playing taylor swift music, instantly responded with "i HATE taylor swift"

good to know that in the most mind-melted moments i'm still real as fuck

[miekasa]

i love love love those fanarts of all the jjk men at bars or playing cards or whatever bc it implies that that group of people are able to willingly hang out and entertain eachother in what seems to be a post-work environment and if picturing the likes of toji and suguru getting along over drinks isn’t enough to make you laugh, then picturing toji and nanami as corporate co-workers absolutely should

Normal day for Alfonse Fire Emblem (I've already played a collective 10+ hours of Monster Menu demo across two profiles on my Switch 🫡)

Based on the fact that one of the default characters is two customization options away from Literally Just Being Hatsune Miku and I thought that was the funniest shit in the world when trying to decide on a fourth party member LMFAOOO

Also!!! Some of the process under cut bc it's funky haha and fun!!

Initial sketch, which looked pretty different than the final result, clean versions before adding the bg and the screenshot I used as the bg!

The first draft felt kind of uninteresting and also I felt like Alfonse just. Didn't look like himself??? Like I couldn't get the hair right.

I think adding the mouth panel makes it more effective and also calls back to what happens in the intro of Monster Menu! Also I feel the idea that his eyes have been open for A While and he's been stuck like that for A While has a very different effect.
