how to build compelling characters

[shadowmystpines]

Heart or Head?

(I've been meaning to draw these two for a while but I didn't really get to it until tonight I hate it and was hesitant to post it but hey I finished it so I figured I might as well)

Characters belong to @sonadowcentral’s epic Fragmented AU I'm sure you've heard of it

@heropartnerweek Day 3 - Trust + Confrontation

This actually means a lot to her, more than he might guess, or anyone.

ark aftermath

[red-winter-is-coming]

Turns out, even a Soul Jam split between multiple cookies will awaken....

Or, a silly little AU I've been concocting for a couple months now! Gonna make a rp blog at some point but I at least wanna wait until the Eternal Sugar / Hollyberry updates finish!

The basic premise of the AU is simple: as a token of goodwill/trust/etc, most of the Ancients give a small peace of their Soul Jam to their most trusted allies.

Overtime, it just becomes second nature. A mark of how much trust they have on their shoulders, a way for the rulers to always know who they can trust.

And then Beast-Yeast happens. Turns out, when the Ancients themselves gained their awakened forms, the same happened to the cookies holding those small fragments....

And chaos ensues, because 2/3s of the Abundance holders should be dead and are Not, one of the Resolution holders has no fucking clue what's happening, and both Truth holders just woke up and have been transformed overnight with no word from Pure Vanilla in weeks

Light of Truth -

Although it wasn't until he lost his memories, Pure Vanilla did hand out two small fragments of his Soul Jam.

One to Black Raisin, even before he regained those precious memories. One as a gift to the leader he trusted to keep the village safe throughout it all.

One to Strawberry Crepe, as a peace offering. What harm could come if he indulged in the child's curiously just this once?

Crepe was a design I always had in mind, with small physical changes! They now have pretty magic freckles, lights glinting in the hair, and various other little stuff!!! I really just enjoyed the idea of the subtle stuff for them!

(I also like to imagine that they're now able to read the Soul Jams, and have an internal sense of if someone is lying or not)

Black Raisin gets wings :3 It's kinda hard to work with just the sprite, but they're white chocolate, as a reference to chocolate cover raisins!!! And honestly the hair was just because the wings felt a bit bland, so the idea of the Light of Truth taking over her hair was an idea that I figured looked awesome!!

Also the Crows and her can communicate without any hesitation. She just starts chirping to chat with a random crow in the middle of a meeting. does not realize this is happening

Light of Resolution -

Long before he closed the kingdom off, Dark Cacao gave his most trusted soldiers their own chip of his Soul Jam, trusting that they'd understand what it meant.

And understand they did. Crunchy Chip made sure that even among the coldest nights and hardest training sessions, that gem stayed safe. Caramel Arrow, even while exiled, treasured the shard of something precious with her life.

Dark Choco, on the other hand, only gained his due to sheer luck. Affagato had gotten his hands on the small chip of Soul Jam that had originally been reserved for the prince, and lost it in the wilderness. Dark Choco just happened to be in the right place to find it.

For the designs, I. honestly I wasn't sure how exactly the best way about changing them up would be. Aside from making Crunchy Chip a furry. that was a given lol

Tbh Crunchy Chip was kind hard to figure out a design for, but in the same vein as Carrow, I think at lot of the changes Awakening brought were in his instincts and shit. mans will know if you're acting shifty from a mile away

It's a bit hard to see, but Dark Choco has some draconic traits! Claws, tail, horns, and some scales on his face! Honestly I just liked the idea of him echoing his father a bit through that :D

Carrow my beloved I couldn't find much to change up about your design because in my head most of the changes were magic in nature. Just know that all her arrows are 100% magical now and will never miss any target. and small trails of purple magic follow them. please see the vision

Light of Abundance -

Mozzarella was always a candidate for this role, being one of Golden Cheese's most trusted allies. Golden Cheese thought the shard of her Soul Jam had died with her friend, but it turns out things didn't go exactly as she assumed...

Burnt Cheese, in the same vein as Mozzarella, was assumed to have died alongside the shard he was given. Until Smoked Cheese misplaced the Soulcheese's after defeating Burning Spice.

Smoked Cheese, by all means, should NOT have been given a fragment of untold power. But Golden Cheese saw something in him that caused her to pause. Maybe it was a small reflection of herself, maybe the hope that it'd placate him. Whatever the reason, when the Goddess of Eternal Gold regained her wings, her adviser as gained a pair of his own.

Smoked Cheese gets wings!! I liked the idea of him having smaller, but very capable, wings!! Some of his outfit was shifted to a more gold color, and the purple smoke is also gold! (this will be a theme)

Mozzarella gets cool horns! I also adored the idea of her Soul Jam fragment taking the place of the cheese slice on her head piece!!! I then proceeded to (attempt to) make it look like she was sprinkled in gold dust!!!!

Burnt Cheese... I'm so sorry my guy I had like no ideas ;-; I did end up giving him a small tail, and made him look like parts of his cape/head piece were coated in gold! Again I'm sorry Burnt Cheese fans I didn't know what to do for his designs ;-;

arcane should've been longer because if you replaced every montage to (admittedly very good) pop music with like, ten minute scenes actually going through the characters development and decisions, season 2 would go from a 4/10 to a solid 6/10.

for example, this fucking travesty of a scene

this scene hurts me so so much, not just because i love my darling jayce and this is an entirely unexplained decision that seems to just happen because it needs to happen for other characters' arcs, but because it's the easiest writing fix i could've possibly imagined.

it's literally so simple. here's the fix: write one single scene of caitlyn comforting jayce after the terrorist attack and convincing him to make hextech weapons.

this hypothetical scene could do SO MUCH for the show.

if this happened, it would reiterate how much jayce is willing to do for the people he loves and would act as dramatic irony for his relationship with viktor, because it's that exact dogged determination that constantly tears him away from viktor (when this trait is in service of mel, for example) and brings them together in the end of it all. if we were shown how jayce betrayed viktor specifically because his beloved, well intentioned, suffering sister asked him to, it would also make his "I NEVER ASKED FOR THIS" moment resonate a lot more.

additionally, it would feed into caitlyn's arc incredibly well, since it would act as foreshadowing/a precursor to her becoming a wolf under ambessa's guidance, and would show how she's both becoming more of a politician and would mirror her to mel (manipulating jayce despite genuine love for him and good intentions in what she's doing) in a way that could add an interesting mother-daughter tinge to her relationship with ambessa (and this could be mirrored to the silco-jinx relationship, since i know fortice lovessss its visual parallels). and on top of that, for an extra fun touch they could make note of how she'd be asking this of jayce despite his clear injury, and try and use that (non-typical for cait) lack of care/empathy to make her sudden shift to hurting vi make more sense.

do you see why the lost potential here hurts so much?

literally, the rest of the show doesn't need to be changed to support this proposal, the entire season could play out in all its centrist character assassinating glory and changing this scene from a cool marvel movie style 'whoa-these-characters-have-joined-a-team-and-gotten-cool-weapons' scene into an actual interaction between characters with arcs & would do nothing but help it. and yet we get a fucking montage.

[freesiadotcom]

we should call it "Going on the computer" like with that type of wording again. bring back the fun and novelty of it that i, at least, really felt when i was younger. existing in an online space is the type of thing that can kinda be whatever you want, so u gotta treat it the way that you want it to be :3

I'm going to go on the internet! [implied sense of adventure] see?

"I wanted, more than anything, to make you proud." No longer does his son bend his head. He meets him in his eyes - richest brown to clearest blue. Zeus cannot help but search for that little toddling thing that once sough refuge at his knees. When did Ares grow so large? When did his shoulders get so broad? "Why can't you just be proud of me?" What is it that Phoebus always says? That children can tell their parents have favourites even when they themselves don't know? It almost brings a smile to his face. How alike they both are, even now. Mirrors, the two of them, and they don't even know it. "What good would my pride do you now, Ares?" Ares recoils as though he's been struck. As ever, it is the wrong thing to say. Maybe there's never been a right thing to say. Or maybe the both of them are fools. Caught up in this perpetual dog-and-horse show; the son who wants his father's approval and the father who does not know what that means. All the wisdom in the cosmos can't give him that knowledge. "...Good talk, Father. Truly." That blood-red hair is a windswept flag as Ares leaves. Zeus swears it had been only up to his nape when they'd started speaking. The door slams shut, it rattles all his charts and maps, the vases with Hera's flowers sat pretty on his table. Then, there is silence. Then, there is regret. Well, Metis, look what a mess he's made now.

[vaguely-concerned]

you know what I think I was kind of cooking with caterina/johanna hezenkoss as a concept actually. it's giving gilf andruil/ghilan'nain narrative echoes and also if hezenkoss teaches caterina to become a lich/become basically immortal by other and probably even more immoral means lucanis won't have to be first talon anymore and can focus on what he likes about the job (i.e. the actually killing people part not the admin work). everybody wins (*glados voice* ...except the ones who are dead. BUT THERE'S NO SENSE CRYING OVER EVERY MISTAKE --) . here's how toxic yuri can still save the day and also make it worse

Spare rise!leo mating season headcanons, mayhaps?

🥺👉👈

[drops these into your tin can] happy december, anon-chan

like donnie, he has a period of about a week in the spring where he just gets unbelievably horny. unlike donnie, i think his sneaks up on him a bit more. it'll just hit him all of a sudden that oh. yeah. i've been really restless for the last couple of days because mating season is tomorrow. that explains a lot

before he knew you, it was miserable. it was one long week of having the most unsatisfying orgasms, ruining a pillow from rubbing off on it, being a stupid drooling mess who can't string two thoughts together. by the end he's exhausted and irritable, though after a recovery day he's back to normal and relieved that it's over for the year.

after you start dating though, oh, man. he fucking lives for this time of year. he's just obnoxious about hyping it up for you. already touchy, he's almost overbearing with how cuddly he gets. he doesn't notice, but you do, picking up about a week before it hits that he just can't keep his hands off of you. grumpy if you're within a hundred yards and not pressed up against him. syrupy sweet like candy, needing your attention like it's the blood in his veins.

the first morning, it's super romantic. he wakes you up with his hands on your face, tapping at your cheeks to get your eyes on him. that's always your cue that it's starting. he'll tap you during the year all the time when he wants you bad, but the cheeks are only ever on this morning. he's so soft and affectionate, hungry as fuck for you but needing you to say yes. and when you do, it's probably the best sex you have all year; passionate and slow as he lets his mind slowly turn into soup, all those complicated thoughts he always has in his mind sliding away and replaced instead with how good you make him feel and how much he just adores you.

then, for seven days, you're in his bedroom. unlike donnie, for whom this season is 100% fucking, leo's a bit closer to what could be called making love. it's all about the two of you feeling good while he breeds you. but one thing he does share with his twin is that you're not leaving the four walls until you're done. he's not as aggressively possessive as donnie (who is a well-known bitch during his mating season), but he, too, doesn't like to share this part of you. you, well-fucked and blissed out, is for him to see.

he's open to positions; liking equally when he's fucking you from behind; or when you're riding him with your palms pressing on his plastron; or when you're twined together side by side, too tired to be on top but needing to still be close. he needs to have his dick in you, and he will be coming inside, that's still not to be questioned; but he's much less picky about how it happens.

boy is a talker. you're going to know exactly how good you feel, how amazing you are, how he can't hardly stand how much he loves you, every single detail that makes him obsessed with you. it's not even conscious; he's just babbling, mind gone and mouth working.

at the end of the week when he can finally put his brain back into his skull, he's really big on cuddling for a few hours and just making out. you smell like him, just him, and that makes his turtle brain so happy he just churrs nonstop. his sass comes back and he starts teasing you about how you can't move your legs (though you're quick to remind him about the first year you'd done this, and you'd challenged him to stand and he'd immediately folded to the floor). and then he pulls you into the shower and gets you cleaned up, at which point the two of you always go out to eat with you wearing one of his shirts (the one that has a habit of sliding off the shoulder a bit), him preening at how you're so, so visibly his.

★ // New Update Time, wahoo!!

Fellas, I'm going to spoil one of the upcoming offerings, you ready? . • ☆ . ° . I am building a Discord server!

This server will have cool features such as: opt in for pings for new offerings right as they drop, access to a bunch of Johnny emotes, and potential WIPs of things I'm cooking.

While making a hub for my own work is nice, that isn't my main purpose here.

A big reason why I started this shrine was because I had a newfound obsession in JoJo and I needed to express it in some way, or else I would explode. Sharing the art I make has been great! But admittingly, Tumblr is not very intuitive when it comes to holding conversations or making friends with similar interests, which is something I know I'd like more of; maybe others feel the same way?

I'd love to carve out a place where creatives in the JJBA community could come together and just chill, talk about our interests, share their work, gush about ships, and just have fun. There'll probably be an emphasis on Johnny, Gyjo, and Steel Ball Run as topics in the server because of myself and the audience I've attracted, but other JoJo parts and discussions are welcome!

I will be making the server 18+ only. Nothing against minors, but I'm an old man who should be making friends with other adults.

I don't have an exact date for the launch, but the server will be launching sometime before April so that we can all come together and discuss JOJO Day, which is fast approaching!! So keep your eyes peeled, and feel free to let me know your thoughts about the server in the replies! I value any input and suggestions.

★ Spring Cleaning

// Additionally, I've been doing a bit of upkeep to spruce up the shrine. Please check out the new blog layout and updated pinned post! Here are the patch notes if you're curious:

★ Patch Notes 03.20.25

// Tagging

★ Changed #shrineofferings tag to #offerings ★ Corrected every post that didn't have the proper tags. Everyone can now view all offerings and updates from newest to oldest on the blog using the tags.

// Pinned post (View here!)

★ Added a SBR spoiler content warning ★ Changed some of the verbiage and order on the pinned post so the text is less wordy and flows better ★ Added a link to my carrd for people to find me elsewhere ★ Made the pinned post look overall prettier aesthetically :)

// Theme (View on desktop!)

★ Fixed any broken links and buttons ★ Added a proper bio ★ Added some art to sidebar/explore panels ★ Added code to put 075's pixel sprite to the bottom right corner because I thought it was cute. :)

I plan on sprucing up the theme as time goes on by making specific graphics in the form of offerings, but I at least wanted everything functional!

That's it for now, thank you for reading! :D

Art block is murdering me dead so I doodled my boy Adam in @arthur-lesters-spinal-cord Bellaverse AU, Echoes and Edelweiss

context and yapping:

So Echoes and Edelweiss has three main storylines going on. The main story with Bella and the Lillith fragment Echo, an arkayne cultist story called Black Dahlias, and Adam’s story.

it was oriiiginally going to be called Yellow Carnations but since I'm indecisive I changed it to Rosemary For Remembrance. Take a wild guess where that one came from.

Anyway, basically what goes down is Adam gets stuck with a fragment of the King in Yellow which takes his voice instead of his eyes. They share the vocal cords. It’s a disaster.

and then at some point Adam ends up in Yhoundeh’s realm. Which to me is like a camp with like. Tents and huts n stuff. In a swamp/near a swamp. Lots of cypress trees and vines and stuff. Hence the obligatory swamp fit.

[feytouched]

genuinely i don't think i could bear life without the ability to create art
