Question for Sozo and Helob: Do you plan to get married and adopt a child in the future?

Okay, it will be fun…

Why would Sozo want children? And addictionaly not his own? It's the most stup…

Wait, so this is LEGAL?! Can I really take abandoned children and raise them as my own?! Helob didn't know that an adoption is true! He wants, wants, wants!

* A little explanation. In my AU, male ants (a bit like in nature) die as soon as the female is fertilized, so they don't have any parenting instincts.

About Helob… Helob loves children. And by "loves children," I don't mean he wants to eat them. He really, really likes children. And he's sad that he can't have his own…

And a little bonus:

you ever fuck up art so bad you can't decide if you want to give up on it or try to fix it? yeah.

[overly-verbose]

Seriously, bro's a professional yapper lmfao

Tbf it's not completely unprovoked and he does just want to at least try explaining some things, if in a roundabout way, to make people more at ease (if not in the moment then overall) but, well-

sometimes it has the opposite effect lmao 😂

Also like, it's absolutely hilarious how I thought

'oh but this is just, like three scenes - how long could this be'

but all the freaking talking and stuff that everyone's doing is making Part 8 the second longest in the series 😂😂😂💀😂

(I fear for my poor brain, man - we've only just barely almost covered the Detention Center Arc

(and a little bit of the VS Mahito Arc Mahito Gets Curse PTSD Arc but I do wanna fill in some of the gaps between those)

and it's already gonna be over 40k words???

Why am I being so ambitious for my first ever proper writing project frrr *perishes a bit*

but I do hope to get it to the end - and beyond because there's no way I wouldn't constantly add to the post-main-plot shenanigans lol - however long that takes heh (just try to be patient with me pls I try my best here 😂) 👍)

“Master Sword” for compendium game >:D

Technically the sword is there...

LOL this took forever. Worth it though, I think. It was great practice with shapes and colors, but more importantly, patience and pushing past perfectionism. Just like the first ask, I used two layers (one for the art and one to keep track of colors) and only one brush and brush size, no eraser and no color dropper.

I haven't forgotten about these, I'm just taking my sweet time 😅

So I volunteered to make a quilted eye mask (and I'll probably throw in some scrunchies) for a fundraiser basket thing for a local elementary school? One of my neighbors is making a spa/queen for a day-themed basket for the auction (raffle?) and I said I'd make the mask but I have a few questions for y'all: - what fabric should I make the mask out of? What about the scrunchies? Options are quilting cotton, cotton flannel, or satin - I have never attended a fundraiser with baskets like this besides at the Opry near my grandma's house where my cousins and I were the youngest people by a margin of multiple decades, so like...should I be aiming the theme of the fabric at like little kids (rainbow kitty unicorn fabric), teenagers (assuming some of the elementary kids have older siblings), or adults (their parents)? - what other things go in a spa-themed basket? I have also never done spa days so literally my only idea besides the mask and scrunchies is nail polish - one last question: should I make the mask (or the covering of the strap for the mask) out of minky or faux fur? Like, faux fur feels very "queen for a day/spa day" but putting faux fur on my eyes seems like a bad idea

To the people in my inbox I'm so sorry I swear I'm gonna answer those but work has been absolutely destroying me for like 2 weeks straight and I've barely been here

I thought it would be a good exercise to design a room, so I made some sketches of what I imagine Uli's room would look like, but I feel like it's still missing something

my main idea was to make it both similar and the opposite of Steban's so while his room is clean and simple, maybe Uli is messy and likes to collect more old communist memorabilia (which I should draw more of probably) It's a small rented room at some poor part of the town. (Not shown: a wardrobe on the left side by the not visible wall, and a door on the right.)

mugs he forgot to wash, some cactuses (gifts from Steban) and an ashtray. books, some figurines (like the one Harry finds in the pawnshop) and miniature Mazov statue

a copy of a rare photo of Mazov and a clumsily censored Nilsen, flag, notes, a metal pin from SRV

Wirral stuff, clothes, a lot of La Fumee under the bed

(the colors are based of his portrait so a lot of browns; red and white of course; and some yellow because, Steban (vaguely gestures) and the green for contrast)

sometimes you gotta take in the lil details

[hellishgayliath]

I hope you're not too down on your luck & that all things work out for you.

(not sure about you, but I am not really ne that likes to be hugged when feeling negative & wanted to be sure for you to! So head pats)

Thank you Moon head pats will do just nicely ;; <3

This whole week has just felt iffy and off to me, the latter half of today felt worse. Idk if its depression(cuz it sure has been a while since i felt that) or my trouble with sleeping or if I'm just dissociating again but i do feel like im having some sort of emotional disconnect with a lot of stuff lately. It's just been all so blehhhhh ＼(;´□｀)/

trying to draw my shepard and this is the best attempt i've ever made

[shima-draws]

I finally figured out why I’ve been in near constant pain for the past month lmao apparently I’ve got a pinched nerve in my hip so like. Sciatica. Idk HOW it happened or why but I’m seeing a chiro to hopefully do something about it :”)

[brother-emperors]

hiiii :) i saw your art about agrippa and octavian and i found pretty interesting their dynamic and obviously the artistic side, i was kinda of curious how would you represent that agrippa marry julia the daughter of octavian

it's octavian just going from being best friend/ lover/ liege to father-in-law

so! I don't really think their personal dynamic changes that much despite any changes of legal labels and familial proximity

octavian and agrippa functionally rule rome for a bit as co-regents in all but name (with octavian granting agrippa more or less equal political power to his own), and solidifying personal or political ties through marriage alliances is nothing new, like: julius caesar does it w/ julia and pompey, octavian does it with octavia & mark antony (although octavia actually operates on a much more even footing to her brother than a lot of people give her credit for) it's that octavian does it TWICE with agrippa (first with his niece, claudia marcella major, and then even more immediately with his daughter, julia) that makes me go, oh okay. interesting, fellas.

all of that + agrippa's habit of distancing himself from his own family (name/history) and giving octavian credit for all his own successes over and over again without octavian asking (to agrippa's own detriment [see: the signet ring incident], and octavian does ask: only he asks this of marcus licinius crassus (consul 30 BC) because crassus' successes are a threat, not a gift) and octavian creating a single point of failure, so to speak, with his dynast building plans because he doesn't effectively diversify his portfolio beyond agrippa is all very. well.

(like, I do think it's interesting that octavian tries to make agrippa his heir-successor on more than one occasion [through marriage, the signet ring, can't forget that crown incident, and an honorable mention for the display of grief he has on agrippa's death] I mostly think that their continuing to do All Of That All The Time made problems for other people)

anyway, I think all the labels operate as background noise to them. or something. idk if this makes sense, I'm Very Tired right now and it has been Several Months since I have thought about them beyond 'extremely funny that in suet., cal., 23.1, caligula made incest allegations against octavian to avoid being related to agrippa.*'

*caligula has octavian, agrippa, and mark antony on his family tree
