[fratricidee]

[ollie-alooffloof]

Outfit swap with my OC Simon Woods and Dr Gearloose because they are both “unlikeable” crackpots from Team Science and I just… really wanted to draw them both.

[bisexualmcqueen]

ok so i hc the cars' "model year" to be when they reach maturity around ages 20-25. and i was curious what ages the characters could realistically be in 2024. so here are some of my hcs + thought processes:

(on cars being 'born' or being kids at some point: see Coriander Widetrack, Maddy McGear, and Cruz's backstory.)

(baseline: cars 1 takes place in late 2005, the year it was scheduled to release before the delay (also confirmed in cars VG epilogue). by this logic, cars 3 takes place partly in late 2017/mainly early 2018, the year it was scheduled to release before it swapped releases with TS4).

cruz + jackson: ~31

2017 CRS sports coupe. 2017 one of a kind stock car. likely born early 90's. racers irl dont reach cup levels til theyve proven themselves for many years in lower divisions. cruz already had a successful career as a top-level PT in 2018. my guess is they were around age 25 in cars 3. (jackson is probably younger than cruz if anything, but they do have the same model year still. its not an exact science.)

lightning: ~43

2006 one of a kind stock car. we know lightning raced in the regionals (book excerpt) before the cup series- he spent his younger years trying to prove himself. he is based on a G4 nascar stock car (specifically the 2002 monte carlo ss [image source: cars 1 art book]) (bonus post), which ran until 2007.

cal: ~42 (lol)

cal is implied to have been a rookie in the 2006 or 2007 season, taking up the dinoco team spot after strip retired in 2005. his body style resembles the G5 and the G4 nascar body types.

bobby and brick: ~40

bobby and brick have more modern bodystyles, and thus are implied to have been rookies after 2007 when the G4 retired. they are either based on the COT (G5), but they more closely resemble G6's, which was the type being raced while cars 3 was in production.

sally: ~47

2002 porsche carerra 911 (+ additional bc half the early 00's sources died of link rot). at the very least she is 4 years older than lightning. she went to 7 years of law school and was practicing law in CA. after that, she had time to restart her life and refurbish an entire motel. shes probably closer to 50.

mater: ~66

(i will edit this post with his passport when i find the op who posted the image bc i dont wanna repost the image but its from the cars 2 credits crawl iirc?)

mack: ~59

aprox a 1985 mack superliner mk.2. my source on this is that i looked at superliners from the eighties in like 2019 and this was the closest one visually to mack iirc. but with many of the cars it may not be exact!

westley (OC): ~30ish

roger (OC): ~39ish

might add more characters another time but this is a good start!

[laugtherhyena]

Have you worked on any Sdra2 related projects? I know you worked on the of Voidswap concept AU, just thought of asking

Well yeah I've done a lot of different sdra2 stuff over the years, back in 2017-2019 i had a Fantasy Au and a Swap Au on Instagram which were decently popular with the fanbase there around the time, sometime later me and some friends worked on a Lab Au of sorts for the another series, tho much like those other two they're not things i actively work on anymore, I sorta just think about them again from time to time.

Other than the Voidswap project i think the other most well know thing i did around the fandom was creating the Nijiue siblings; Hitaru, Jiro and Akemi (tho Jiro is an oc from a friend of mine that we like, share custody of somewhat, it's funny), if you follow story blogs like A student out of time or the Despair to future arcs around here you've probably see them since those blogs belong to friends of mine and I've let them use the characters in the stories, which in turn led to me working on a few ideas/arcs in those blogs and ultimately creating more characters and sprites, such as Ayato and Emina who are the Nijiue parents and a couple alt adult designs for a few people.

Other than my help on those blogs the main Another series related project I'm in currently Dra minus two plus two, which is my little Ayame and Kizuna survive fic of which I've been working on for almost an year now and I'm super proud of how far it's gotten :]

[blueberryfruitbat]

so. out of the blue (haha) but brain has been ROTTING over my OCs as of late. and i might be drawing a few in the upcoming weeks eheheheheh... This lad is a very old OC and anyone interested about his history can read under the cut if they want... Content warning: Art from when i was a stupid little teenager.

So... This is Calian, a Zelda oc ive had since i was 15 not even joking. Back during a playthrough of Twilight Princess a friend and I made a joke about some random dude being the opposite of link in that game. Just an evil asshole who got twilighted into being a cat, then it devolved into a complete joke character of an evil Ganon obsessed catboy mage that just HATED everyone's guts.

His original design made in like 2016. So fast-forward to 2017, BotW releases in my birthday month! I get it on my Wiiu because that friend and I swapped Skyward Sword and BotW since they didn't have a Wiiu but got it from a friend. Botw introduced the Yiga, and BOY did i jump on that concept, i already had a very evil, loyal to Ganon OC just sitting there, so boom, man became a Yiga.

Artfight Ref from ~2018

from there I finally started developing his story. He started becoming more than just "heehoo evil catboy", he became a what used to be a Sheikah (Sheikah design has been lost to PC changes, but did at one point in his life have the white hair. As well as his name now fitting the Sheikah's naming scheme of fruit and vegetables, [Calian = Scallion]).

He was completely absorbed and obsessed with unlocking long lost magic from the golden ages of Hyrule. Going mad into his studies so much so he began using unpracticed magic on himself turning him into the heehoo catboy. He was caught practicing this magic and banished because he had become immoral in his pursuits, willing to test magic on himself and others with little care. Eventually finding a place in the Yiga clan to carry out his studies,

Then for a while thats just how he was for a bit...

THEN TEARS OF THE KINGDOM CAME OUT AND GAVE US ZONAI AND MY FURRY ASS BRAIN LOOKED AT THEM AND WENT "WELP CALIAN IS THAT NOW."

Recent Design 2023 His story basically stayed the same, just now instead of being obsessed with general magic he became obsessed with the Zonai. Craving their magic and godly power he strived to meld his body into that of one to obtain even just a fraction of their power. While he succeeded in changing physical form into a Zonai he lacks many of their defining characteristics, such as the third eye and those long sought godly powers. Though his physical change still gave him a kind of power, while not being as strong as a true Zonai he still has passable magical skills that when not under much scrutiny can easily fool the untrained eye. Allowing him to pass himself off as a real Zonai and gain power and favor in the seedier parts of the Yiga. After all, its easy to pretend you're a part of a long gone race when barely anyone remembers them and their full capabilities, just make a few objects float and scribble some runes, its enough to convince a few meatheads you're the genuine article.

[monsterroonio]

Did a little relationship chart for a bunch of Sanses and my oc Roo!! I think ‘in canon’ Roo is from underfell, but she travels lol. This was so fun :) This was also a good excuse to practice how I draw all the different sanses, believe it or not I haven’t drawn a lot of these sanses (if ever) since 2017~18. Very happy with how they all came out, especially Swap, Ink, NM, and Error. I kept adding more and more, and I still kinda wanna add dust and killer... maybe another time. Inspired by @mothiepixie !!! Go check them out, their relationship chart is adorable <3 <3 (Tags Below)

Oliver Croix 2024

Well... I'm officially in a X-men '97 brainrot. It's my favorite show right now and I'm loving it. Thought I'd go back and give my OC Oliver a new character sheet and update his look yet again. And yes... there will be some pics of him and Nightcrawler coming very soon :)

Oliver has been with me for a very very very very long time. I created the first version of him sometime in 2004. Fun fact - Oliver used to be a girl named 'Drake' who resembled a panther. Pretty sure she was still Sabertooth's daughter that was adopted by Wolverine for some reason. She wasn't French and to be honest she didn't get along with Nightcrawler at all. Their story was definitely the 'friends to lovers' trope - I can assure you it was badly/hastily written and more than likely didn't make any sense because I wrote it when I was 17. Not sure why I scrapped that version but eventually I did and came up with this look - a boy named Oliver Croix who resembles a siamese cat. I really wish I could remember what made me change him so drastically but I've been rocking with this guy since then. The first pic I posted of him here has a date of 2005. I might do a color swap or comparison to Drake if I can find her original pics.

The only thing that's really changed this time is his ears. I found a really good tutorial on anthro ears and thought it looked better than what I had for him before which was basically elf ears. His eyes are also different - I really love it when characters' corneas are a color other than white - I just think it's cool. So I made his a lighter blue than his eyes. And... I gave him toe beans like a real kitty!

Back in 2017 I rewrote Oliver's story when I found a site to read comics for free - and his story had a soft ending at about 35 chapters! You can read Oliver's story here! 

Here's to another 20 years of Oliver!

Tac's OC Ref Masterpost!

Heya everybody! I'm not sure where the thought for this came from but I wanted to make a post that just has all of my OCs' refs in it in case anyone ever needs to find them and doesn't wanna ask me for them (which ur always welcome to do btw!) or doesn't wanna go digging through their Toyhouse galleries. This will be linked in my pinned post as well, so if you ever need to find it again, it'll be there! Every character will have their Toyhouse page linked below their ref, so you'll have easy access to more in-depth info and more gallery images if needed!

All the refs are below the read more since this is going to be a really long post, so be prepared for that if you take a look lol. It's organized the same way as my Toyhouse, with sonas first, then primary, secondary and tertiary OCs (basically categorized by how much I use them and how much development they have). I'll put a little bit of information about each character and whenever I make a new ref for a character, I'll swap out the old version with the new one here!

first phighting oc of many. Thought I'd take a crack at the body swap potion gear. I always remember it being in every other tycoon games back in ye old 2017 and they were always so janky and almost never worked.

Hotaru v2.0

Model credits here

I've had this idea for a while now that I wanted to make an idol (or something similiar to this) OC. So one day when I was going through some of my old stuff, I decided to remake one of my (most probably) earliest models I've made that would fit the 'idol' criteria.

Her first version was made in 2017 at the latest. The one and only render I have of her is from March 11, 2017 (only if the date in the file's name is correct). I don't think I even used her first model that much if at all. Well, she disappeared for 7 years, but she's back now and she's beautiful. And now she actually does have a name (maybe she had one back then but I just forgot it).

I know I said that she's pretty much an idol OC, but you could kinda call her a fanloid too. I was very much inspired by Miku's design here, like: headset with music bars, long socks with the light-thingy on knees and thighs, the shirt (especially the triangle details at the ends), etc. In overall, I was going for this typical vocaloid-syle. The inspiration was intentional, that's for sure.

But the only one thing that she doesn't have that fanloids do, is a voicebank. Maybe one day, who knows (I doubt that my voice would fit her but it could be interesting). I never really did anything in programs like Vocaloid or Utau other than trying to create my own voicebank in the latter. Not much came out of it though as 12-13 year old me only had a microphone that came pre-built in the laptop itself and those really are not great.

Also somewhere before my journey with MMD (so think like before 2016) I used to kinda make OCs in my notepad app on a phone. I remember one of such were Vocaloid-inspired OCs. I'd download images with (as I would describe it) anime girls and come up with characteristics for them. Then I would just imagine them having journeys with actual vocaloid and utau characters (they were actual "living" beings in that "au"). So, this model is kind of a tribute to those times. A bit silly probably, but I see that as making my younger self's dreams come true by actually making a proper OC/model based on vocas/utaus.

I know that I've talked quite a bit now but I'm still not yet done.

Here's the very rough concept art of her new model. The vibes are a bit different here from the final product but I kinda like how it came out more.

Also, the one and only render I had of her before...

Literally just a head-swap with the default TDA Miku model (with just changed hue) and hair from Rem's model or her twin, idk I haven't watched that anime in years. And also the head edit that I don't know where it came from (nonetheless I apologize to the author for my younger self).

To say that she got an upgrade now would be a big ass understatement. The v2.0 is the goddess herself and v1.0 is playing limbo in hell.

Still, it's a nice comparison of my skills throughout the years. My literal beginnings with MMD/PMXE and then how after 7-8 years of model editing (and at some point modeling from scratch) it evolved into what is now.

Also as a bonus, some gifs from where I was working on physics.

and whatever happened here (rigid bodies were just having fun)

Summary:

The first summer Sally would experience after the bombs fell and her unfortunate time in the vault wasn’t the best experience of her life. She needed to cool off. In more ways than one.

MASTERLIST | <- Previous | Next ->

Back in Sanctuary, the little town was alive with people –sorting out crops, painting houses and mostly people out in the shade, nursing bottles of Nuka-Cola. Sally was greeted by Preston, who too looked bothered by the heat. He requested her help with some of the new paperwork that the Minutemen used to keep track of trades and their settlements, but Sally was too hot and troubled to do anything today. The sun was higher in the sky, nearing noon – so she insisted that Preston took the day off, and he reluctantly agreed.

MacCready loved how she had a way over men, like with Sturgers earlier, she only had to insist and question once and they fell all over her words. She could stop a murder – and she had, more than once. Watching her defend herself against drunken assholes in bars was sheer entertainment, he always watching her act like she was interested, only to bring he sucker down. He didn’t know how she did it, but she was even able to talk in down to 200 caps without realising. She just had something about her. She had charisma oozing from her; he loved that about her – Ms Independent and Ms. Smooth-talker.

“If you allow it General, I’ll let the men take a half day, and let them swap shifts more often to get out of the sun and heat.” Preston nodded, turning to walk away. He then stopped and turned on his feet; “Oh and General, I got word of anoth-“

“DON’T YOU DARE SAY IT PRESTON I SWEAR TO GOD!” Sally said through gritted teeth, but she broke into a laugh when she saw him smile. It was rare for Preston to joke around, but he’d become more outgoing and laid back recently.

“Don’t worry General, things are going well, I promise you, if I hear word, we’ll send someone else out. We want you to have some rest, you’ve done enough for us as is.” Gesturing to the place they called home that towered around them. Preston glimpsed over at the merc standing proudly at her side, “MacCready, General.” Tipping his hat at the pair before walking away, leaving them standing in the shadow of her house alone.

The entire time Sally and MacCready still held hands, it never occurred to them both to let go. Preston wasn’t one for gossip, let alone about his General – she was allowed her own personal endeavours, so he never questioned, never interfered, Sally loved that about Preston.

She turned to MacCready - she smiled, showing off her white teeth.

“Com’on, I’m hungry.” She dragged the merc by his hand into her home.

The pair spent the afternoon together, like they usually do. They’d become inseparable. They read comics, Sally told him more stories and interesting things about her life before the bombs – trying to distract each other from the rising temperature. He watched her like she was his world – which she was slowly becoming. Sally sprawled out over the couch, now wearing a new white t-shirt and fresh pair of shorts. MacCready sat on the floor, now in a loose black t-shirt and jeans – he looked his age, his signature attire added on years to him, but Sally could finally see the youth in him. He made her feel young and reckless again, and it liked it. He nursed a glass of whiskey, while she snacked on a case of Fancy Lads.

“Oh, ICE-CREAM! I’d murder for some ice-cream right now. Hot days and ice-cream are the best, oh, with sprinkles and syrup!” Sally licked her lips as the thought of some freezing ice-cream. MacCready watched her tongue slowly drag over her mouth, he pushed his dirty thoughts away – he didn’t want to ruin a wonderful afternoon. But his mind couldn’t forget what she was hiding under her clothes.

“Ice-cream? I think I’ve heard of that before, is that just cold milk but solid?” He questioned, raising one eye-brow. Sally looked over at him with a smile, his stomach flipped. ‘Fuck, I was doing so well’ he thought. And granted he was, to say he was hard for her earlier in the day, those thoughts supressed and the pair went back to friends again. For now. He flicked his eyes back to the drink he was swirling in the glass.

“Yea, you take milk and whisk it into cream, then you freeze it, it was smooth and rich, all types of flavours, like what you’d get in Gum-drops. Vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, mint! Sweet and refreshing.” He could see her eyes fill a little with tears, she always got teary-eyed when she talked about the past, not as much anymore, but sometimes they’d talk about something specific and she’d get emotional.

“It sounds delicious, actually.” MacCready agreed, laughing, trying to bring her mood back up. She loved to her in him laugh, his laugh was like honey, sweet and contagious. She could listen to him laugh all day. When they first started out on the road together, all he did was complain. Slowly, he began to let his walls down, and he started to act himself – still a kid at heart. It made her happy to know he was comfortable around her, making stupid references to old movies, commenting in funny accents and puns – lots of puns. He was still practically a kid but she liked it. She didn’t feel her age despite a marriage and a kid. She hated growing up, she too felt like a 22 year old still. He brought out that side of her she had to push to one side when she had to become the “perfect housewife”, which she despised.

He sipped his whiskey, feeling the warmth down his throat and pool in his stomach. MacCready needed this drink epically today.

 She pushed herself off the couch, looking over towards the floating robot who pottering outside the window. “Codsworth, if we ever get a refrigerator working would you make ice-cream for us?” She asked him, knowing he’d say yes to whatever she says. Codsworth rotated around, his large mechanical eye focusing on her.

“Why yes, of course mum. I’d be happy to make anything I can from the past. I do miss making a range of meals.” He responded before floating away from the window into the street. He was right, the Commonwealth didn’t have much for food – either old pre-war junk or a fresh kill of Radstag steak or Mirelurk. She did miss the verity of foods, but it’s better than nothing.

She turned back to MacCready, her eyes still glistening with tears. He quickly jumped onto the couch next to her and he placed his hand on her bare shoulder – feeling her hot skin.

“I’m sorry, I try and not get emotional anymore, but lately, with the heat, I’m just…” she trailed off. He leaned forward and smiled at her.

“Hey – it’s me remember? I don’t care if you cry for hours over your past life, it’s okay. I know it’s hard, well, I don’t know about being frozen for over 200 years, but, you know what I mean.”

She smiled lightly at him, she loved how he always knew how to cheer her up. She leant her head over and placed it on his shoulder, snaking her arms around his chest. MacCready stiffened, unsure what to do with his hands.

She buried her face into the crook of his neck, breathing him in, he smelt like gunpowder, whiskey and sweat. MacCready hesitated, but then decided to wrap her with his long arms, fingers dancing over the scars on her back. He pressed his cheek onto the crown of her head, he too breathed her in, where she smelt like the vanilla soap they found, a rarity. MacCready lent back on the red couch, and pulled her along, her warm body crawled on top of him, still tangled together. The weight of her pressed against him, all over - her breasts squished on his lean chest, the bones of her hips nearly clashing with his. It was all too much in one second, MacCready’s head started to swim, but he remembered the peaceful and even romantic moment they just shared. The pair held each other in silence, pure blissful silence. She could cry at how happy and safe she felt right now, but she didn’t.

“I wish we could stay like this forever, it’s so nice.” Sally whispered. She was pushing their friendship now, but she didn’t care. She liked having him close. He played with her hair while she purred in his arms.

He wanted to tell her, he had to tell her, he had to say how he felt, and he couldn’t hold it back any longer. He squeezed his eyes shut tight, taking in a breath.

“Sally, I love you.” He said, still squeezing his eyes, waiting for a response. Instead, silence. Then he heard her breathing softly and steadily.

He opened his eyes and peered down at her figure, then at her face – she had fell asleep in his arms. She looked so beautiful, peaceful even. His heart fluttered, his stomach was in knots. He’d dreamed of this for weeks, first wanting to crawl into her bedroll with her and hold her safe while out on the road, the praying there wasn’t a spare room and they’d have to share a mattress. When they first started out the on road together, the thought of sharing a room let alone a mattress was barbaric. They wouldn’t say they hated each other, but their views differed, causing a lot of friction between the two. But now, they had learned so much from each other, they were two completely new people already.

MacCready felt his heart sank, he just confessed his love for this woman and she was asleep. He laughed at himself, a short exhale out of his nose.

He didn’t move, he couldn’t, he’d hate himself if he moved the most beautiful and exhilarating woman in all the Commonwealth off him – so he stayed there, despite feeling a million degrees, stroking her hair and listening to her sleep. When suddenly, he heard her moan. Not just a moan, a full deep spine tingling sexual moan. His head shot up, watching her. She wiggled on top of him, he could feel her soft mounds on him, her hips moved dangerously on him, his cock trapped between layers of fabric started to spring back to life.

‘No, no no no.’ He started to panic, now was NOT the time for an erection. He didn’t know what to do, he didn’t want to push her off, but he knew he had too.

Again, she moaned, a little louder this time. He was thankful they were alone, or this would have been awkward. No, it was awkward regardless. He felt her fingers clasp on his upper arms, she wiggled again. He could feel the warmth rise in his stomach and over his cheeks. He hoped she wouldn’t wake up by the time he could calm himself down. But then he was sent over the edge.

“Robert….” She moaned. He felt his body go ridged at her moan. His eyes wide with questioning and he stopped breathing for the millionth time today.

She was having a dream, but just any dream, a sex dream –about him - while on top of him. Her moan sounded identical to when she said his name in the river, deep and full of lust.

“Fuck” MacCready whispered, not in his head. That was it, he was now growing fully hard. He wondered what she was dreaming about exactly…

Sally felt so safe on his chest, she could hear his heart beating, slow and steady. She smiled. She was finally comfortable after the hot day, so she felt a calmness fall over her – before she knew it, she was asleep. Dreaming.

In her dream, she exposed all her deep desires about MacCready, she and him where in the dark, emptiness around them. She wore nothing while he was dressed like earlier, white vest and his usual green bottoms. She felt liberated, before she knew what was happening - he grabbed her cheeks between his rough palms. He started by kissing her hard, pushing in his tongue - exploring her mouth deeply. She ran her fingers through his soft hair, tugging slightly, making him moan. He pulled away from the kiss, and ran his tongue down the side of her neck, one hand now in the small of her back, the other gently caressing her breast, thumbing over the nipple while he sucked on the sensitive skin of her collarbone.  She called his name. He moved lower, his mouth now clamped over her nipple, gently teasing the pink bud, using his teeth, but ever so soft. Her stomach coiled with heat, pleasure was shooting around her body, making her wet and her clit throb with lust. His hands began drifting over her stomach, followed by kisses and scraping of teeth, gently brushing over her scars. Her hands back in his hair, nails dragging over his scalp, he let out deep and spine tingling moan. He ran his hands down over her bony hips then brushed his fingers over her thighs, leaning down between her legs, spreading her open and smelling her. She bit her lip and blushed. Her breathing was heavy and she could feel her temperature rise. Before she knew it, he had his entire tongue pressed hard onto her folds, licking up all of her juices. He gripped harder on her thighs, so she didn’t move. He slowly ran up towards her clit, swollen and begging to be touched. “Please, Robert.” She begged. He smirked. He teased her, slowly circling around the bud, kissing her folds and thighs. She was breathing heavy now, feeling faint.

“Robert… please.” She begged again. He flashed his eyes up to meet hers, they were icy, cold but striking. This time he complied, gently brushing the tip of his sharp tongue on her exposed clit. She hissed, arching her back and hips down onto him. He let a small moan escape his throat as he tasted her. She was so close. He let go of one of her thighs, his fingers gently caressing her entrance, still dripping. Sally gasped at the touch, a sweat breaking over her brow and down her back. The pleasure was too much, she was so close. He pulled away from her, kissing her clit gently. Running two fingers up and down between her folds, until he slowly pushed his two digits inside of her.

“Fuck!” She yelled, feeling him curl into her, touching all the right spots. He kissed her thighs again, slowly pumping in and out of her. She couldn’t take it anymore, she needed to come.

“Sally” he said. She looked at him, sinking into his eyes.  

“Sally” he repeated. He stopped pleasuring here and he started to fade away.

“Sally…” the world around her began to disappear, his touch left her and she snapped awake.

Sally suddenly realised she was back in the real world. She jumped up off MacCready, she was hot and sweaty, and her mouth was dry. He grabbed her hand and calmed her down.

‘Fuck, oh my god, fuck, was I?’ She questioned herself in thought. She looked at him, panicked, embarrassed and confused. She was breathing heavy, her mind wouldn’t slow down.

“Hey… I didn’t want to wake you, but you seemed…” MacCready didn’t finish the sentence. He wanted to say ‘you seemed like you were about to orgasm’ but he knew he couldn’t. He let go of her hand, dropping it into his lap.

She looked down at the floor; her hair fell in front of her blushing features. Her hands, now in tight fists, stiff at her sides - she tried to calm down but her body refused. This wasn’t the first time she’d dreamed so intimately about MacCready. Well, a previous dream was a heavy make-out session, with clothes. She wouldn’t be embarrassed about the dream if alone, it’s the fact he was there.

‘I hope I didn’t moan out loud’ she thought. Nate once told she talked in her sleep, not often, but she did. He never said if she’d ever talked during a sex dream, so she wouldn’t know if she did or not. She couldn’t bring herself to look at him, not just yet.

MacCready got up slowly, watching her, eyes never leaving her. He stepped closer, but only a little, he didn’t want to scare her away.

“Sally…” he whispered.

She could see his boots in her view on the floor, she slowly ran her eyes up his legs, over his groin, her stomach flipped. She continued to rise over his stomach and chest, covered only with a black t-shirt she found, then taking in a sharp inhaled, she looked at him – her face red and as tato. His eyes where half closed, his jaw slightly slacked.

She wanted to break the tension, she could feel her fists relax and her fingers fell open. Her eyes where now level with his, staring back into his baby-blues. Her mind flashed to her dream, of him watching her while his tongue worked magic, she could feel she was wet between her legs. Her breath was shaking, each inhale she could smell him again.  

He stepped a little closer, his hands reached forward and he gently cupped her face, his calloused thumb lightly brushed over her cheek, over tiny little freckles and a few scars. Sally felt her body limp in his touch, she reached and grabbed his arms for support, and her eyes began to close, feeling heavy. MacCready could feel his pulse in his ears.

The world stopped around them, time stood still and they were the only two in the world. MacCready started to slowly inch forward, filling the space between them. He slowly let his head tilt toward her, his eyes began to fall shut. Sally did the same, slowly letting the world disappear around her, the pair getting closer.

An In-Depth Story of my Pancham OC and a Major Rebrand

It has been 5 years since I first adopted my Pancham OC, and while he has changed over the years, he still represents me. Because, well, he is me.

To honor this occasion, I have drawn a new version of me as summer draws to a close. This is also a blog post explaining the history of my OC, so keep reading if ya will :P

You may have remember my Tumblr post explaining my 10 year history on the internet, and my history with different aliases over the years. That also reflected with how I chose to represent myself.

Not long after I joined on February 17, 2013, I chose to based my identity around the Koopa Bros., for a reason. The group grabbed my attention in their appearance in Super Mario Bros. Z, a flash animation by Mark Haynes that crossed Mario and Sonic characters with elements from Dragon Ball Z.

From their first appearance in Episode 4 to their um...untimely death in Episode 6, I was so rooted for the Koopa Bros. in the flash animations that I didn't realize they were originally from Paper Mario. Once I found out presumably on Super Mario Wiki, well I got into the Paper Mario series of games. They were a no-brainer as the characters I chose to represent myself...except...well...

So let me try to explain this green monstrosities. I chose the name "The Zombie Bros." because...um...I made the Koopa Bros. zombies...for reasons. It's merely swapping the yellow and white in their sprite for green, as I wasn't invested in doing art back in the day.

After this I stayed out of making any more OCs that represented me, either using an existing character (e.g. Pinkie Pie, the Koopa Bros., and later Sans) or just using letters (as seen below).

There was a My Little Pony OC that I did make...but unless you knew me as Creeperfan, you knew that I never got around into implementing him at all.

Like while I made this design myself and publicize him actually, I never used him much, I stuck with using Spike as my main representation throughout my time as a brony.

By 2017 though, I was starting to take drawing as a hobby, but for the most part the OCs during that year that represented me was any version of Sans, whether that be from a AU or not. One Sans version that I used to represent me was this take of Sans with Cappy on his head, which I did twice in that same year.

But while I did enjoy Cappy!Sans, they didn't stick as long as possible. But into August 2018, I had gotten off being represented as Tough Bippy and was into being Chespin. I was looking up Chespin related stuff on the internet, and came across Pancham.

To be more specific, it was Serena's Pancham, but regardless of what Pancham it was, this character got me really invested, and all the love I took with Chespin, from instances in Smash Bros...well...I dropped it all in favor of Pancham. The two were rivals in the anime anyways, so...I guess I skewed the results heheh...

And it couldn't have come at a perfect time, because I wanted to do a OC of Pancham. And I did! Red glasses and all! On August 27, 2018, exactly 5 years ago, I made a Pancham OC and slowly embraced him as my own.

From that point forwards, Pancham (later renamed PanchamBro) become the embodiment of me as a whole. In spite of a break during 2019 when I became Scorbunny/Raboot/Cinderace, I still somewhat represented myself as a Pancham, and Pancham (the Pokémon) remains one of my favorite Pokémon out there.

The Pokémon's namesake would inspire me to brand myself as "PanchamBro" on January 11, 2020, which then became the name of my Pancham OC...and in retrospect to me in regards to my internet identity.

Of course, with time my design has changed. I used to see myself with red glasses until December 2020. Then I began to swear clothing, just slightly.

My green sweater was drawn out of necessity for a New Year's Day art that depicts a funny in there, but now it's my default outfit.

My summer outfit consist of a white shirt and green shorts, and just this year I introduced a scarf, one that bore the Gay MLM Pride Flag colors.

A hole in the leaf was added just around the end of 2022, being a symbol for my Nookipedia presence.

And on my sweater itself, I added a badge with the Gay MLM Pride Flag, as I was proud to be gay, albeit in secret, but proud. I'm happy for the changes that I've made to my sona.

In celebration of my sona becoming 5 years old, I decided to do a major rebrand. If you haven't noticed, I've been slowly adopting a unified color base for all the accounts I have, whether that be on Twitter or YouTube.

This is what I've come up with.

These are five major colors to which they shall be used to represent me in appropriate conditions. Ideally they should be shown against a dot pattern backdrop and a gradient, but how this gradient looks varies.

You can actually see this already set in motion (except for Red, but we won't talk about that for now).

On Twitter, the banners for PanchamBro and CinderaceBro show this color preset in motion.

And on YouTube, you can see my sona being depicted differently with the color choice also reflecting this change.

Now what I hope from now is that my presence can at least have a sense of unity, if only to make sure people know what I am and what I do for a living. I've been planning this for a while now, but only got off the ground last week.

These past 5 years have given me a chance to grow my OC, and I can't thank everyone for giving me their spirit and inspiration to make my OC a somewhat bashful little fuck. Here's hoping in 5 more years, I start to grow a beard.

Brats on Board

Revisiting an old project 

Oh man, I’m really about to talk about this again...

Thanks to the forthcoming live action pulling me back to this anime, here I am, rereading my old One Piece fanfiction, the project I haven’t touched in literally six years. And I mean literally literally, I posted the last chapter i’ve ever written for this in 06/24/2017 ;-;

I won’t sugarcoat here: it’s not good. The story’s cringy, to say the least, I go too overdramatic at some points, some tropes are cliché, and it’s painfully out of sinc with the Manga at this point.

But I still love it so much.

The relationship I wrote between Luffy and Luna, for one, is a father/daughter connection that I couldn’t replicate ever since, in any of my other stories.

And it’s not even just them! All the relationships between the characters and my OCs, all the relationships between my OCS- all the lore I had created for how the One Piece world was going and all my plans for its future-! 

Brats on Board started off with the simple (and admitedly overused) idea of What If some members of the Mugiwara Crew had kids and raised them in the ship. But it became so, so much more.

I’m not even kidding, I don’t think I have ever had a bigger writting project than this one, before or since, nothing that I had poured my heart and dedicated myself so much on. The only thing that could start to compare is my Ducktales’ Gen Swap AU, and even then I think I never had as much hope of writting down the complete, detailed story for the AU as I had with Brats on Board.

I love and enjoy all my projects, I wouldn’t bother writing fanfics for them if I didn’t, but this one... This one is special. Always was, always will be.

Monkey D. Luna and Roronoa Ohana are my girls. And I’m happy to getting to read them again.

I did good with them. I did.

[listieshadows]

I've always wanted to do a piece where I gave one of my OCs Smash Bros.-like palette swaps and alternate costume, and, well, here's one finally for Bangs!

A lot of these are references to older pieces no one except my friends have seen before, so you'll hafta check beneath the cut for explanations. If you want 'em, anyway. I'll also provide original art to show where the outfit first appeared, so enjoy how terrible a lot of it looked, like, five or six years ago

Default

First appearance: March 2018

An obvious one, of course. This is her "iconic outfit;" the one I've drawn her in the most. I can't exactly recall anymore why I went with the Nirvana smiley logo in this one piece, or why it stuck, but whatever. At this point, I can't imagine Bangs without it.

Also, as you can see in the first outfit's appearance, I used to draw Bangs with a brown belt instead of a black one. This is something I did all the way until 2020 when I changed how I posed and art'd my characters.

Original

First appearance: November 2017

First of all—gawd, my first few attempts at drawing non-stickfigures were so bad.

Secondly, this is the first outfit I ever drew Bangs wearing. Like the Nirvana smiley, I don't know why I went with the Beatallica. Maybe I was just listening to them at the time I was arting this, I don't know.

Aside from the brown belt, by the way, Bangs's shorts are obviously also a different color. This is, first of all, to help differentiate this palette more from the original, but also to reflect the frayed-end shorts she used to have.

B*

First appearance: June 2018

This is an outfit a friend of mine randomly came up for Bangs when she drew Bangs this one time, and then I adopted as canon. It hasn't seen as much use lately, but I still like keeping it around.

I'd also never drawn Bangs wearing those shorts with that shirt, I thought they looked together, so...

Vicky

First appearance: February 2020

This palette is based on an outfit I randomly came up with for Bangs for a Valentine's Day piece one year. That wasn't the first time I'd drawn Bangs wearing a green shirt, but it was the only time I'd drawn her wearing black pants. I didn't realize until afterwards how much it reminded me of Vicky from Fairly OddParents, and I guess that's why it stuck with me enough to wanna reference it here.

The text on Bangs's shirt ("HELP I'M A ROCK") is taken directly from the title of a song from The Mothers Of Invention's debut album Freak Out!.

Summer

First appearance: July 2020

This is Bangs's summer outfit, of course. This is around when I realized how good Bangs looked in warm summer colors, but for some reason I haven't taken advantage of it too much.

Birthday 2020

First appearance: August 2020

As the palette's name give away, this is based on the outfit Bangs wore for her 2020 OC birthday piece, which was taken from one P. J. Soles wore in the 1979 film Rock 'N' Roll High School (to go along with how the overall piece was based on the cover for the Ramones album Road To Ruin).

Birthday 2022

First appearance: August 2022

The most recent reference in the set. This palette is based on the outfit Bangs wore in her 2022 OC birthday piece (of course), which was taken from what Wendy from Gravity Falls wore in the episode "Love God". I just thought Wendy was cool and that this outfit was neat, so...

Shy Gal

First appearance: September 2017

The first time I ever drew Bangs digitally, she was wearing a Shy Guy mask, so here's an alt. costume based on the whole Shy Gals thing.

I've provided two images here as context: the original piece where she wears the masks, and then an OC birthday art from a year later referencing it where you can see Bangs wearing the hoodie without the mask so you can see her face.

Fun fact: the date I drew the original piece is Bangs's OC birthday, since I can't remember when exactly I originally came up with her beyond "winter 2011."
