Ok so hear me out- I've seen a couple posts like this but imagine-

The almighty all powerful wise creator isss

✨️A literal child✨️

Thanks for hearing me out! For you ->->❤️

Baby you taking on the world aw

DAMN SORRY FOR TAKING FOREVER!! i started fics before i answered my askbox :/

Aw i fucking love child reader stuff,

Lots of isekai animes/manhwa/manga do it and i eat that shit up everytime-

I also deeply appreciate when its not done creepily, like being turned 8 again, and having crushes on others who are... yknow, actually 8 yrs old or sm fucked up shit, like even if its 16 yr olds that doesnt make it any better, bc the protag will actually be like,, actually 20?!?!💀 the straights r wild man, i feel like it happens either way too, like its usually a male MC but thats just bc theyre more common tbh, like regardless of gender of protag 🥲

Sun: Child God Reader (you/they/them)

Orbit: Short Headcanons

Stars: Mondstadt ppl bc i don't show them i love them enough

Comets & Meteors: Content Warnings: none known & Trigger Warnings: none known.

Please comment any I missed. /gen

Klee has recruited converted you to throwing bombs with her.

You are the only leash on that child too and the only thing standing between Jean and full head of gray hair. 💀

Kaeya doesn’t know whether he’s endlessly worried or endlessly amused that the most powerful god is currently a child

if Jean isnt freaking out over ur whereabouts, Diluc is instead, and worst case scenario, Noelle/Lisa/Albedo is in charge of you

and YES someone has to look out for you, bc ur ass will just start making a hot springs spot like ur in ur teapot or smth in dragonspine (Albedo was fascinated it stayed warm despite the weather so he let you make it/enjoy it before asking u to restore natural order lol)

(Albedo has definitely asked to study you and, unfortunately for Jean, asked u to demonstrate several powers u have)

You do work as a lucky charm for Bennett tho so he does babysit u sometimes

it mostly consists of Fischl, Benny, and Razor “adventuring” by trying to do smth like who can jump on the Anemo slimes and ride them around longest

(the answer is you btw, u managed to get a small fleet of them to bus you around, the teens were simultaneously terrified running around below u to catch you and also amazed)

Noelle is so happy making toddler you all the pancakes you can eat, Sucrose had to stop her from going overboard and not just listening completely to kids when it comes to food

She is now very concerned with making you a balanced diet, tho she will still make u an ungodly tall stack of pancakes every now and then <3

They kind of all equally provide for you, obv ur their god, and ur a literal cutie patootie child, they cant just leave you

(also u might like move a mountain or change the weather or smth if they don't watch you so most are a little paranoid of that too)

Lisa gets u all kinds of cute outfits, still stuff you'd like, but definitely snuck in some sumeru looking clothing lol

Fischl lends you all kinds of books to read, Bennett shows u all the cool views in the city and outside of it (when Jean lets him get away with taking u that far), and Razor…

Razor brings you to Andrius and the wolf pack for a wolf pack party and gives u all kinds of shiny trinkets he’d collected for you

Diluc/Jean/Noelle/Eula nearly had a heart attack when they found out

Amber lets you have all the piggyback rides you want lol

she even managed with her own crafting powers (and your probably editing the game code or smth) she somehow makes a reinforced glider with a small harness on the back for you to glide with her

(Venti has definitely helped for some fun flights by boosting the winds for you two)

SPEAKING OF BARBATOS

ur absolutely spoiled rotten by him (and Dvalin, and Andrius, and the wind sprites)

if this god had money he’d spend it on wine and you lol

takes u flying all the time, any time, would drop everything to go to Mondstadt wilds and use his archon form wings to take you wherever you wanna go

tries to bring u to Angel’s Share but Diluc nearly hits him on the head with a wine bottle and brings you back home after kicking Venti out and giving you grape juice (yes you get all you want, within a healthy amount)

anyway the most important part abt you being a god and child is that you can now fulfill your childhood dreams of riding a dragon whenever you want

(one way to quickly get Mondstadt citizens to trust Dvalin again was just constantly seeing him flying overhead, occasionally seeing a small child on his back also helped lol)

(neither you nor Venti tell Jean you ride Dvalin and keep it an active secret from her.)

☆

srry i took so long! i hope u liked my hot mess of writing (i think its even sloppier than usual bc of all the fic writing full sentences lately)

and if not, I'm sorrryyy 😭😭

I'm focusing on getting thru a haul of asks before getting around to posting that Eldritch AU Part 2 if anyone reads this :)

hope u guys are have a great weekend, thanks for all the birthday wishes!! :D

More from my Familiar Husband au!!!

My human Satin and Chenille designs! Absolutely love them!!!

I suggest you read Part 1 before reading Part 2!!

Part 2 under the cut, cause it is LONG!!!

Ok, so! We left off with Poppy having the best day ever in her new life. Well, it’s time to go to bed and when Creek tries to start something, Poppy stops his advances saying she’s not in the mood and she’s sure her period just started, when really she feels conflicted about doing something like that with Creek at the moment because her mind is still on Branch. She can’t tell him that though. Creek says it’s totally fine, but he doesn’t stay patient for long. The next few days are exactly like the first. And Creek makes the perfect trophy husband! One day, however, she’s finally has time to spend with her friends outside of work. Biggie is still a photographer, Guy Diamond is still a director, Suki and Cooper still make music for their labels, Smidge is still the social media sensation Gym Queen, and Satin and Chenille still design for the industry. She finds out, however, that even though everyone else still ended up with their significant others/remained single, Satin never married. Poppy guessed that made sense. She met Rudy at her and Branch’s wedding, which now never happened. Still, it hurt her heart to know that she did that to her friend, who was now complaining about being single and drinking mimosas to her heart’s continent when before she was a happily married career woman with the country's third best baseball star as her husband. Poppy feels absolutely horrible about it, so she spends some one on one time with Satin, taking her to spas and out for food telling her who needs a man when you have your girls! Satin doesn’t know what this is about, but who is going to turn down a free spa day lol.

So fast forward a few days, Poppy’s agent tells her that they are taking her to the next level! And that she’s going to be doing a collab with a boy band that’s been at the top for the last seven years. Poppy’s sitting and waiting in a room at her label when she decides to go get something from the vending machine while she waits. While at the vending machine, she hears the pitter patter of little feet running towards her. She turns towards the sound only to be tackled by something large and fluffy. There’s a dog licking her all over her face. But not just any dog, it’s-

“SPRITE!” A voice calls.

Poppy knows that voice. She’d heard it yell Sprite’s name for years. Suddenly, there’s a man pulling Sprite off of her and apologizing saying that she doesn’t usually act like this to strangers and that’s when they lock eyes. It’s Branch. But it’s not. The dark circles under his eyes were gone, his hair was no longer awry and unkempt, and he wasn’t wearing the same damn pajama robes she was close to burning in the fireplace. And, most surprisingly of all, he wasn’t scowling at her. No. This Branch had glowing skin, shiny blue hair, was dressed to impress, and was looking at her with a surprised expression and a small smile on his lips.

After the incident, they are all in the room with their agents and the right people to discuss the collab. This is where Poppy finds out that Brozone, the band her husband was in with his brothers, actually made it in this universe long before she did. Like, all the way back in 2018. The year he confessed. Which she finds so weird, cause 3 months into their relationship, Branch had told her that Brozone didn’t make the cut, so the band broke up and went their separate ways until his wedding, where they all finally reconnected.

A little detail about the wedding that I really love is Rosiepuff is still alive at that point and knitted a picnic blanket for their wedding and Poppy even used her old wedding dress, which she absolutely loved because it was a vintage ball gown with the PUFFIEST sleeves. Bruce complains that Rosie didn’t put all this effort into his and Brandi’s wedding and she’s like, “That little shotgun thing y’all did because you got her pregnant?! Invite me to a real wedding, then you get a gift!”

Anyway, on to “present” day. The agents are sensing a little tension from Poppy and they ask if they know each other. Poppy’s like, “Uh, yeah. We were, um, friends back in college.” She hears snickers coming from Clay and Bruce and watches as Branch glares at them and says, “This is why I don’t tell you guys shit.” It was the most Branch thing he had done since she’s seen him again, that and rubbing Sprite’s ears affectionately. John Dory tells his brothers to knock it off while Floyd pats Branch’s shoulder.

Watching them all feels surreal to her. Floyd didn’t have his usual long hair and bangs and dark clothes. His hair was kept short, but still had pink highlights. And he wore an outfit that was more mainstream. Clay wasn’t some super thin book worm/author with his sweater vests, his hair had blonde highlights and he looked like he worked out for the body he had now. Bruce wasn’t chubby with a kid on his arm. It looked like he never stopped working out to keep up with the Hearthrob image. And he had no ring on his finger. He still had his purple fro, though. The biggest shock was probably John Dory. He was clean shaven, kempt green hair, clothes that actually flattered him, and, most surprising, he didn’t smell like booze. The John Dory in her last life had the biggest drinking problem and was always dressed in rags and couldn’t keep a job. It was so weird seeing him so put together.

After a talk about the collab with their agents, they split for the time being. Poppy’s alone taking all this information in when John Dory of all people comes up to her. He’s acting all nice and friendly, making polite conversation when he makes a little comment about rejecting Branch all those years ago. She tries to apologize for that but he tells her not to. That he is so thankful that she rejected him all those years ago because he felt like Branch would’ve left the band to stay with her in Austin if she hadn’t. It gets Poppy thinking if Branch lied to her when he said Brozone didn’t make the cut (He did). John goes on to tell her that everything went right after they made it big. With the money they were making, they were able to afford a comfortable life for their grandma before she died and he was able to finally pay off all of their student loans. All the financial problems he was keeping from his brothers were no longer problems and his brothers never had to know. And he was thanking it all on her. He said he was happy she made it big as well and that this collab was gonna be amazing with his song writing skills. Poppy put on a bittersweet smile. At least the man was still confident as ever.

So then they are all getting ready for a tv appearance to announce their collab and that’s when everything goes to shit.

Branch and Poppy are having polite conversation and Branch asks if he’s offended her in some way because she’s unusually tense. Poppy doesn’t get a chance to answer, though, when Satin and Chenille walk in to try and drag her away. The twins end up talking with Branch for a second and, much to Poppy’s dismay, it seems like Branch and Satin are FLIRTING!!! She interrupts it by saying that they really should get going to the dressing room. As they are walking to the dressing room, Satin starts going off about Branch, saying he’s so much cuter than he was in college and the bad attitude he used to have was long gone and turns to Poppy and Chenille asking if she should shoot her shot. Chenille immediately says yes, so she can stop third wheeling on her and Suki’s dates. Satin’s unsure though cause he’s this huge popstar now. She asks Poppy what she thinks. Poppy’s mind is telling her to yell to stay away from her man, but she has to check herself because, no, that’s not her man anymore. She changed that. She goes against everything her body is telling her and tells Satin she should go for it.

It absolutely breaks Poppy when she sees them getting chummy. She starts to get jealous, even when she knows it’s wrong. Because she made it this way. Somehow, though, it always seems to be the three of them hanging out. One day they’re all eating at a high end cafe and Satin asks what his favorite type of shows are. Poppy thinks in her mind, Of course it’s melodramas, because when she would get home from her weeks in the industry, it’s what she would walk in on him watching. She would even scold him to stop watching those if all they were gonna do is make him cry. He would only give her a blank stare before turning back to his show. It absolutely shocks her when this Branch says his favorite shows are comedies. And Poppy had to look back at her time with him and remember that, yes, he absolutely loved comedies. He had only recently started watching melodramas religiously. She blurts out, “What about melodramas?” And he gives her a weird look and she’s like, “They’re Satin’s favorite!” And Satin’s like, “No, they’re Chenille’s.” Which Poppy remembered was true. But, Branch does admit that he does watch melodramas only so that when he wants to cry, he can put one on and no one will say anything about it. It gets the gears in Poppy’s head turning about why he was always watching those dramas when she would get home late from a flight. Or after a huge fight. Or when she got home a day AFTER the anniversary of his grandma’s death. The world around her blurred as all of her mistakes replayed in her head. How she was dismissive of him when he would say she should take her days off to spend together instead of trying to fill them up with gigs. And how she ignored him when he was literally telling her how ignoring him was hurting him. All he wanted to do was talk to her. All he wanted to do was be with her. He gave her his 100 percent. And after a while, she got selfish and just started taking it without reciprocating. He grew distant, he grew angry, he grew sad. And it was all her fault.

It took a minute to realize that they were now talking to her and when she looked at Branch, he was looking at her. Eyes full of concern just for her.

Poppy excuses herself and calls her agent saying she needs her to find someone. A guy that calls himself Cloud Guy. While she did that, Poppy went and tried to find a half dollar coin minted in 2018. She ended up having to pay 20 bucks for the damn thing, but it was worth it. Because she was going to go back and fix what she broke.

Cloud Guy wasn’t hard to find, there were only so many cab drivers in the world who called themselves Cloud Guy. So she flies to Austin and finds him high out of his mind in his own cab late at night. She tries to snap him out of it, going on to say that this was all her fault. That she’s the one who made him unhappy, she’s the one who turned him into a monster, all because she thought she had it harder. She used work to get away from him. He tried to tell her what he was feeling, he tried so many times that it broke him! She remembered now! It was her fault! She wanted to go back and fix it! She sobs that she just wants her life back! She brings out the coin and asks him how does she go back. Cloud Guy’s goofy smile suddenly fades and he looks at her with a pained expression. He says he’s sorry, but that window is closed. What’s done is done. Poppy sobs harder. She doesn’t believe it. She pleads, she prays, she begs. There has to be something she can do! Cloud Guy grabs her hands and slowly wraps her fingers over the coin. He say, “The only thing you can do now is be a good person…and wish him happiness.” It finally sinks in that there was no going back. That she had lost her chance. She had lost her husband. She had lost the man she loved. She falls to the floor, sobbing, as all of the memories of their time together come flooding into her mind. The confession, their first date, their first kiss, the first time they said “I love you”, the proposal, the wedding, their vows, the house, Sprite. It was all gone. And she would never get it back.

How could she be so stupid?

She flies back to the city with a horrible sense of dread that’s evident to everyone, but she doesn’t want to talk about it. It’s evident to Brozone that something happened while she was away. That the smile she has up right now is fake and she’s just trying to get through the day. But whenever any of them ask, she says she’s fine. But they can all see the way she looks at Branch when she thinks no one’s looking. They all keep it to themselves, though. Cause they have no idea what Branch would do if he knew Poppy had feelings for him. After all, she was a married woman.

John Dory was the only one who seemed to notice that she didn’t wear her wedding ring anymore, though.

There had been problems since the collab started. Poppy was noticing controlling behavior in Creek from the start. Like how he got really annoyed when she came home from the salon with long almond shaped nails, her favorite in her other life. Creek told her that he thought they talked about that, how it feels gross when the nails touch him and how it makes her look like a hooker. Poppy could not believe what she was hearing, because Branch absolutely loved when she would run her nails through his hair. She stayed at the studio that day and didn’t come home until late, where she stayed on the couch. Creek apologized the next day and ordered her favorite breakfast to sweeten the apology. And it worked… Until he put another foot in his mouth. And another. And another. It was insult after insult, like he was trying to kick her down a peg or two. She was, of course, able to clock that shit after being treated like a queen for six years. And nothing disgusted her more than when Viva and her dad came to visit and he threw an absolute fit when Poppy suggested they stay with them.

Poppy did not play about her family. There was a sixteen year age gap between her and Viva, so even though Poppy wasn’t even 30 yet, her dad was old, and his memory problems were getting worse. She and Viva had agreed a long time ago that she would take care of him while Poppy focused on her music career. And Viva. God, Poppy had no idea how to explain it. Viva had almost gotten on a plane ride to a huge Mini Golf tournament six years ago. Viva was a star at Mini Golf. The best! She was making a career out of it, winning prizes and showing off on social media. For some reason, though, her dad convinced her not to go, so she didn’t. They found out on the news a few days later that the plane she was going to take crashed with very few survivors. Poppy had nightmares for weeks where Viva had actually gone on that plane…and had been one of the victims. She could still smell the cemetery dirt from her dreams. She could still see the tombstone with her name on it. Like she had actually been there. She couldn’t imagine actually losing her sister. So, no, she did NOT play about her family. She ended up booking joint rooms in a luxury hotel for them, where Poppy also stayed, bunking with Viva for their time there. Poppy could see through Creek now. But, after Viva and her dad went back to their home state and she went back to the condo, Creek was doing everything to please her. She wasn’t falling for it though. She already had a lawyer draft up a divorce.

Even though she was going to be unhappy, she wasn’t about to let Branch go unhappy. So she did her best to step back and let his relationship with Satin grow.

But, little did she know, Branch was not interested. He didn’t even realize what Satin was doing, he believed he was just catching up with old college peers. Even after all these years of fame and girls throwing themselves at him, he only ever had eyes for Poppy. So he was always trying to find a way to have alone time with her. Though Branch knew she was married, he still wanted to be in her life. Even if it was just friends. But feelings keep happening, obviously and he can’t help but think she feels the same way. Because a certain dream keeps playing in his head when he’s with her.

The night she rejected him, he dreamed of a life with her. It started off perfect. They had the perfect relationship, the perfect life. But then it turned sour and after another fight where she left the house, they ultimately divorced and went their separate ways. Branch had guessed it was his subconscious trying to cheer him up with a horrible scenario to make him feel better about the rejection. But, now that she’s back in his life, weird things are happening. Like, during the first few days of their collab, his brothers had told him about an incident where they were all giving their drink orders to some apprentice or something and it got to his order, which he was unfortunately out for. Before any of them could say anything, Poppy answered, ordering him a hot mocha and said, while laughing, to make sure it came with a bendy straw. When they all gave her looks she made up some excuse about him always ordering that drink when they would study at a cafe. Which they guessed made sense, but the bendy straw thing was a family inside joke about Branch being the baby. So how did she know THAT? And one time when it was just them in the studio, he had fallen asleep on one of the chairs. He woke up to Poppy stroking his hair. Just like she would do in his dreams. And one time they were just joking around about they’re heights. Branch was like, “You’re only an inch taller than me!” And then she said something that she always said in his dreams. “Yeah, and with these heels I’m four inches taller than you!” And then she let out a laugh with the cute little snort at the end. Just like in his dream. And the time he was getting a migraine, but ran out of pills. He found Aleve in his bag a short time later, the only pain killer that relieved his headaches, and was told by a worker that Poppy put it there. There was no way she could just know that! Also! One time he couldn’t get Sprite to calm down, she was being to playful, Poppy called her name, pointed a finger gun at her, and went “Pew, pew!” Sprite immediately played dead, finally calming down. Branch didn’t even know Sprite could do that! Not to mention when her dad and sister came to visit them at the studio, her dad kept calling him his son-in-law. He had played along with it to keep the old man from freaking out (which only freaked Branch out when he asked when he and Poppy were gonna give him grandkids lol).

She knew things she shouldn’t. She acted so familiar around him when they had barely been friends before. He was starting to get…comfortable with it. Even though all of his brothers kept warning him that she was off limits, that she was a married woman, a part of him… didn’t care. He couldn’t stay away. So he kept letting her cross boundaries he didn’t know he had around her, he kept letting her act so familiar towards him. But the weight of the situation finally dawned on him when they were all scheduled to appear at a party for their collab and she brought Creek with her. He drank what he could to ease the pain and when the party got too much, he went to go find a quiet place to rest his body and, most of all, his mind. When he thought he found a quiet place, he heard arguing nearby. It was Poppy and Creek.

Poppy was done with Creek. She truly was. The divorce papers were ready to sign. However, when he suggested going to the big party with her, she decided to give him the benefit of the doubt. Boy was she wrong to do that. He started getting handsy with her even after she told him to stop. So they went somewhere private, got into the argument, and Creek left saying if she wasn’t going to give him any, he’d find it somewhere else.

Poppy stood there in silence, fuming at such disgusting words. She couldn’t believe this was the man she ruined her life for. She thanked all the gods she knew it would be over with him soon. That’s when Branch comes out from where he was staying hidden. She visibly calms down and says she didn’t see him there. Branch points out the argument she was just having and she tells him it’s nothing. He stumbles a bit when walks towards her and Poppy catches him, asking him if he’s alright. He looks up at her with teary eyes. He tells her that no, he’s not alright. He starts to say that he can’t help himself. That he knows it’s wrong because she’s a married woman, but he doesn’t feel guilty for having these feelings. That he can’t help looking at her when she’s close, that he can’t help being around her because this rapport feels so familiar to him. That he feels so safe and assured around her. He doesn’t know what to do anymore. He’s in love with her. And he has been since the moment they met. Poppy is crying at this point. She is filled with so much regret. She shakes her head, trying to say that they can’t. She’s still thinking of Satin. But no words come out. Because she’s also still thinking of the man that blurted out a love confession before he missed his chance. The man who ran to her when the The man who cried when she walked down the aisle, and cried harder when saying his vows. The man who stayed by her side all those years. The man she neglected, mistreated, ignored. So when he grabbed her hand, she let him. When he brushed her bangs out of her eyes and settled the hand on her cheek, she let him. And when he brought her down into a kiss, she let him.

Kissing him again brought out a fire she forgot was inside her. They started to kiss more passionately, his thumb stroking her cheek and her fingers combing through his hair. But that was short lived when a booming voice yelled, “What’s going on here?!”

They both broke apart so fast it was like they had burned each other. They turn to find John Dory standing there, dumbfounded.

And that's all I'm giving away!! Part 3 will come out soon! I swear!!

The big art post !! the behind-the-scenes of the tribalhunter PNGtuber stuff ! At least on the art side-- I can talk about the coding mechanics but that's not quite my place to. The high-level overview of that is there's some cool stuff going on with memory wrappers and godot to get stuff shake'n and jamm'n The rest of it is below the cut just so you don't have to scroll tons if you don't care, but take some time and read !! 3 days of work y'know !!

The first sketches were started at 10 pm tuesday the 15th. I tweaked it with some edits until about 1 am

For people working on pngs or long term projects -- make notes !! genuinely !! you can see "ok what was i thinking when i did this" and it made like infinitely easier. You might notice that stage 2 png was not long for this world -- we ended up cutting that one and shifting 3-5 down a stage, and just making a larger final stage. The night ended with: these!

Larger final, we moved where some hands ended up, cleaned some notes, and so on

Wednesday I got to work

on some second pass ones, e.g., cleaner lineart. Mind you, not final! To have proper safespace with the png we had to make actual layered sections to avoid ripped seams on squashing and stretching and rotating and etc.

These also had the first of the talk sprites! I don't do entirely new sprites for the talking ones just because of the pure quantity of images. So, just an arm tilt and head angling. This means we have mute and a talk variants of a few sprites (e.g., the stage 1 is 3 sprites. Body, scarf flappies, and head. We have talk versions of the body and the head). Also, he used to have nips! there was going to be a slightly darker purple but we scrapped it for . well . obvious reasons. We went with classy scarf modesty.

This is how you know you're doing well!

Thursday I started on the finals!

This was the first one sent -- showing off the layers. Tip, I used to layer based on like "back arm" "head" "fore body" etc. It's weirder to get used to when you use numbered layers, but holy shit it made importing easier. You automatically know the layer order to put them in to avoid clipping. Getting these done I got to work on testing 'em too!

this gave us our first working model! Oh, he used to have black robes too! this was to match the custom ingame sprites he got, but the color wasn't quite popping enough. The scarf saturation would later be turned up too, and more color adjusting. But this was workable! A lovely demo. All that was left was design tweaks and the talk sprites!

Friday was dedicated to

figuring out the colors and the talk sprites. For giggles, here's a bunch of variants produced!

We changed the robes, the scarf tone, and his lower gradient. neat Brave fact, his design has a gradient! It's horrible for gif compression! With all that done, then came doing well . all of the sprites!

Note, the talk sprites had some copied mute ones for visual reference. Gotta be consistent! It was at this point the pngtuber was "done", so to speak. Talk sprites worked and everything uh . jiggled right. But I still had a whole weekend! There wasn't as much photo evidence. What WAS changed between then and the final was: 1) the gradient was shifted to be a smooth curve instead of dappling 2) the talk sprite for stage 5's beak was fixed to remove a tangent line 3) the belly for stage 5 was rounded out to be more consistent with the game (less "doughy" to quote) 4) we added another sprite for the arm on stage 5 to layer better. Those changes weren't done until about Saturday, and then the code was tweaked all the way up until adding damage and transition effects on sunday and monday!

P.S., the model still clipped in the end a little! The code did some growth based on the fullness factor and . uh. wow!

twitch_clip

Anway woo !! that was some wip photos and stories, I wish there was more of an intense struggle to tell but it was pretty quickly done. My shoulderblade hurts a bit to tell the truth and I think I overdid it on the pace but hooray!

All the cutscenes show the characters wearing their suits even in completely casual situations where they wouldn't need to so I was thinking about Why They Would Do That:

Phoenix: Wears his suit all the time because he's reached the point in his life where he expects to be pulled into a case at all times and doesn't feel like constantly going back home to change. It's more of an insurance policy than anything. The only reason he has it buttoned is to disguise the ketchup stain Maya got on his fancy white shirt since he refuses to buy another one

Edgeworth and Franziska: Were taught by the von karma creed to be professional looking at all times. Unfortunately this is their idea of professional

Manfred: He wants people to recognize him and tremble in fear-- what better way to do that than to establish a personal brand?

Maya: Religious / familial tradition reasons

Mia: Died in that fit so she can't exactly go home and change

Godot: Pretty sure all his assets got seized by the time he got out of his coma so he's ride or die with the one suit he has. It doesn't fit as well as he likes bc the coma changed his physique a little bit but w/e. It's fine. He's doing fine. Also he's under the impression the shirt is red, nobody tell him

Apollo: Kristoph got him the suit and it costs as much as the rest of his closet combined so he feels the need to flaunt it. Also he dressed casual for a bar hang with Ema once and she told him he looked like a middle schooler and he hasn't recovered since

Klavier: ok ngl I hc he's been wearing different ridiculous outfits this entire time they just can't sprite it. The man has never worn the same shirt twice I think

Kristoph: One time he wore something Other than his signature suit and someone mistook him for Klavier and it made him so blindingly mad that he never dressed in anything again. He has like 14 identical suits btw. They're all dry clean only and Italian silk

Athena: She actually just owns 7 versions of the same outfit. She's very specific with textures and having enough flexibility (it's the autism) so once she found smth that worked she just got a bunch of identical fits to swap

Simon: Wears the same fit he did on the day of his arrest to "remind himself of his sins" and also because the jacket is really comfy and has big pockets that he hides things in

Nets: @mirohs-aurora-society @othersideoutlawsnetwork @illusionnet

Wooyoung chuckled to himself as he saw a group of girls walk inside the club and saw one of them stand out from the others. She looked sheepish and definitely did not want to be outdoors right now. He understood far too well that sometimes, people just don’t like being forced to go out. As soon as Mingi, the bouncer that let these women in, gave a signal and pointed to the incredibly shy girl that flinched at everything, Wooyoung nodded and gave a thumbs-up in return. After all, he was also used to helping introverts like that woman escape.

“I NEED THREE TEQUILA SUNRISES FOR BOOTH 1024!”

Wooyoung heard Jongho’s voice resonate within the dingy strip club and he nodded. He set to work on making the mixed drinks, pouring each amount of tequila perfect into the metal shaker before adding ice and closing it. He started shaking it with one hand while the other gathered three glasses so he could pour the drink in. Once he set the shaker down, he grabbed a strainer and placed it over the opened shaker before pouring each drink into the frosted glasses. He grabbed the tiny umbrellas and stabbed three maraschino cherries before topping the drinks with it.

“THREE TEQUILA SUNRISES!”

Wooyoung’s voice was incredibly loud, even through the booming techno music the strippers were dancing to. Jongho hurried over to the bar and grabbed the drinks carefully before thanking him and walking over towards the booth. Wooyoung sighed and quickly washed his tools so he could prepare for making the next few drinks. He hated using dirty tools when making drinks. He believed that the remnants from the last cocktail mixed in with the new cocktail would make it taste bad. It’s a silly ideology, but to him, it made the most sense. He was currently watching the crowd and observing the different dynamics they got going on here. Soon, he felt a presence in front of him and he smiled brightly.

“Well well. If it isn’t my favorite customer.”

You giggled and playfully rolled your eyes at his compliment. Wooyoung had first met you when you came in with so much stress. You weren’t one to drown your sorrows in alcohol, but you had just about enough. As an event coordinator and a travel planner, it seemed like you could never catch a break. The only upside to your job is that you were self-employed so you were your own boss and you could take as many days off as you want. After the occasions you helped out with, you were definitely taking a month long vacation.

“Do you say that to all your customers?”

“Of course not, doll. They aren’t as put-together as you.”

“Ok ok fine. Enough with your pretty words. You know the drill.”

“So the usual then?”

You nodded and Wooyoung set straight to work. He decided to put on a little show for you since you expressed that you felt fascinated with the way Wooyoung makes drinks. From a simple whiskey on the rocks to the most complicated cocktail (i.e. the cosmopolitan), you believed he had the magic touch. After Wooyoung set your drink down, you thanked him and took a sip. You were surprised. Your usual, which was green apple Crown Royal mixed with Sprite, tasted stronger than usual. Not that you didn’t mind of course. You had a strong tolerance. However, this normally only had one shot of Crown mixed into it.

“Woo. Did you put two shots in this?”

“I did. And before you ask, I didn’t fuck up. I added another shot intentionally. After everything you’ve told me, I figured you’d need to relax a bit more.”

Your heart fluttered at Wooyoung’s thoughtfulness and you thanked him by raising your glass to him. He poured his own shot and clinked his glass with you before knocking it back. He set his empty shot glass in the sink and handed you the menu.

“Order what you want. It’s on the house.”

“Woo, no -”

Wooyoung reached over and put his finger on your lips to shush you. Normally, you would’ve rolled your eyes and shoved his finger off, but for some reason, you felt a bit flustered under his touch today. It definitely wasn’t the alcohol speaking. You weren’t even tipsy yet! Perhaps it’s just the environment you’re in. After all, you were technically in a place where women’s hormones go crazy. Once upon a time, you used to be like them. Now? You had your priorities straight.

“It’s fine, doll. I mean it.”

“Fine… I’ll take the takoyaki and katsu pork bites please.”

“Want to throw some potstickers in there as well?”

“Sure.”

Wooyoung nodded and took your order to the kitchen while you sipped on your drink. While you were waiting for him, you noticed a girl trying to shrink back into the booth she was at with, who you assumed were, her coworkers. You chuckled as she tried her best to be a wallflower in a place such as Cyberpunk. You also felt bad for her as well. Mingi told you briefly about this woman and you honestly wanted to beat those women’s asses. Sadly, it’s none of your business. The most you can do is wish that she smoothly escapes them as soon as possible.

“One order of takoyaki, katsu pork bites, and potstickers for my favorite customer.”

Wooyoung’s voice snapped you out of your observant haze quickly and you turned around to see the food placed in front of you. You were salivating. After weeks of eating nothing but healthy food in your own home, you considered today a cheat day. You grabbed your chopsticks and picked up a katsu pork bite before eating it. Apparently, this was a new thing on the menu.

And you hoped they’d keep it.

“Woo… this is fucking bomb! Tell the chef to keep this on the menu!”

Wooyoung chuckled smoothly and found your love for bar food so adorable. He made a mental note to do that before he left. As he watched you eat, he couldn’t help but stare at you. The way your hair fell in front of your face (he wanted to reach out and tuck it behind your ear), the way your cheeks puffed up as you kept eating (there were a few crumbs stuck to the corners of your mouth and he wanted to wipe them away with his thumb badly), and the way you drank your strong drink with such poise? Yeah this man is in love.

“I NEED A ROUND OF SHOTS PLUS THE STRONGEST DRINK YOU HAVE FOR BOOTH 1117!”

Jongho’s voice broke Wooyoung out of his lovestruck stupor and he sighed deeply. He knew which booth Jongho was referring to. Setting to work, he first made the cocktail since it was a longer process. Once the drink was made, he took out a lot of shot glasses and placed them on the tray.

“WHAT ALCOHOL DO THEY WANT?!”

Jongho asked the customer real quick on what shots they wanted to order before yelling back.

“SOJU!”

Wooyoung nodded and took out some soju bottles before pouring the spirit into each frosted shot glass. Once he was done, he double checked to make sure everything was in order before shouting out to Jongho.

“A ROUND OF SOJU SHOTS AND A STRONG COCKTAIL!”

Jongho walked over and grabbed the tray once more before placing a dollar bill in front of Wooyoung. It was a tip. A generous one at that. Wooyoung pocketed the money before turning back to you. His eyes widened at the empty plate and they trailed up to you, still sipping on your drink as if you didn’t order so much bar food.

“Well I’ll be damned. I’m calling you Kirby with the way you practically inhaled that food.”

“That would require me having a black hole for a stomach though, and we both know I don’t have that.”

Wooyoung laughed at your sassy reply and nodded before pouring himself another shot.

“To our aspirations of becoming Kirby!”

You clinked glasses and knocked back your drinks before setting the glass down. Wooyoung took your empty glass and looked back up at you.

“You want a refill?”

“Nah. It’s ok. I think I’m done for today.”

“Perfect!”

You were confused as to why Wooyoung said that and said it in that tone. It wasn’t until your eyes landed on an empty shot glass that you realized what he was doing. You immediately shook your head.

“I have work tomorrow -”

“What time do your clients come in?”

“Uh… around noon or 2 PM.”

“Great! Now come on. Knock one back with me.”

“Wooyoung, I don’t know -”

“Did you drive here? If you did, I’ll take your decline.”

“Well no. My car’s in the shop so I took an uber here…”

“All the more reason to take a shot! Come on. It’s Friday!”

“Woo…”

Wooyoung took your hand in his and rubbed your knuckles with his thumb. You felt more flustered than before and you couldn’t help but find him so handsome underneath the dim lighting of the bar. His black hair was tied back into a small ponytail while two strands hung in front of his face. His jawline was sharp, his lips looked tempting and kissable, and his eyes were shining with mischief and amusement. There was also a sincerity behind them too.

“You work so hard, Y/N. You deserve this. I’ll take care of you. Like always.”

You didn’t say anything, prompting Wooyoung to continue.

“I’m not going to lie. I mainly just wanted to flirt with you and get a rise out of you. I’m fine with being friends. However, if you’re on the same wavelength as me, then I will tell you right now. I fell in love with you. I’m so in love with the way you talk, move, and hold yourself. I figured someone like me could never be with someone like you. But I’m willing to shoot my shot and give us a try. The question now is… are you?”

You were taken aback by Wooyong’s confession. The bartender that you like also likes you back. You felt your heart hurt when he said that he doesn’t deserve someone like you when in reality, it’s sort of the vice verse. However, seeing as he’s willing to give it a try, you thought “Fuck it.” in the back of your mind. You were independent, made good money, and had a stable life overall. Why not share that life with someone? You intertwined your fingers with his and a small smile appeared on your face.

“Yeah… I’m willing to give us a try.”

With that, you both took your shots, and the rest is now history.

not the best with clothes and such but I wanted to try figure out some fits these guys would wear. And also messing around with hair styles, I had the head shots done but I didn't get to everyone so I'll share Die's. (he's from the middle of last year...)

i think i'll mess around some more with his hair styles. While short hair is so silly looking, I have a habit of making same length hair styles look too similar, and with the majority of these mfs having short hair. Augh... (same with clothes, it's very obvious im a sucker for long sleeves or just clothes that cover up, i weep cuz there's no snow here... i cannot dress for winter...) Also in my defense, I don't know jack shit bout Harry Potter, I just showed this to a friend who went "Eel I know you have an affinity for the elderly, look up Argus Filch he has similar hair to this guy" and i ascended

Some doodles!!!!:

god you're the best Ms. Paint <3

trying out some designs for Trace on the left, then resorted back to short hair on the right. + a lil comic of idea of HK begging Trace to wear the ridiculous fish tie she got him and Fin

i got lazy with Doze oopsies

PI and HK thought that sweater jacket thing would match Die, who very much thinks otherwise teehee

Of course I hit you all with the Snowbar, how could i NOT

Tryna figure out clothes but wahoo PM and Slick, both got opposite arms prosthetics (reference or nod to when they put the ring on yadda yadda) PM only has one on her left starting from her elbow, Slick er ok like Jack Noir does but fuckin yadda yadda (that whole hoo-ha doesn't matter in this AU) is on the right but from the shoulder (as he also has that robot lookin arm thing for a while in the comics and such cool). I know in their prototyped forms they both lose the same side arm but eaughhhhhh shhh

Also, trying to figure out if I like PM (and PI) having a long looking face instead of a circle. The idea is to try have everyone's head shape somewhat look like their sprites and all that. Or at least try to but oog much to think about.

not related to this au but i just had to draw these buckos in some old Japanese clothes (Edo Era I think) just for fun!!!

I swear I'm working on a lil introduction / portraits for everyone with some basic information (aka THEIR NAMES!??!? oog yes much to plan? but we shall see)

#my art #the felt #intermission small town #sharkbait #<- ish???? eh whatever #itchy #doze #trace #fin #die #crowbar #snowman #hk #spades slick #ms paint #pm #pi

why i love the edwin-crystal sibling like relationship from memory and why it makes me love crystal even more

there simply isn't enough online about 1. how awesome crystal is as a character and 2. how awesome her and edwin's relationship is. so imma dump all my thoughts here from pure memory.

ep1: so yeah, they start rough. but when jenny points out to crystal that she's so focused on her own problems that she's ignoring everyone else's, just like how she said the boys did, she resolves to change that. she realized she was being unfair because it was pointed out and she decided to try and be better. when edwin breaks down, she's listening. she's listening and understanding. she tells this boy, who has not been the nicest to her but she's beginning to understand, that she gets it. that she sees him, that his unnoticed death matters to her. she sees the sharp, jagged, raw and emotional parts of a boy that she'd only seen as cold and logical thus far. and when his unusually timid voice asks if they can focus on becky's case, she agrees. in the butcher shop, she offers to once again explain the internet to edwin. implying that she'd already done so. and she says it without any condescendence. when she's knocked to the ground, edwin helps her up and they sort of cling to each other as charles is reckless.

ep2: not as much here from what i remember but there's still some stuff. edwin does actually commend her actions in luring the sprites out, followed by telling her not to do it again. from an emotionally repressed boy from a time when fixing each other's clothes was the most intimate thing you could do in public, thats quite a big step.

ep3: one of my personal faves. crystal is quick to point out that edwin is jealous of her and charles. she does actually assure him that nothing would happen and its just a small show of her care for his feelings. now, in the house, do they bicker and argue? yes they do. but i would argue that most of that is fueled by their anxiety and fear for charles. when crystal points out that charles has issues, he ultimately listens. its shown immediately the next ep when he tries to be better and offer himself as a safe space, something he wouldn't have thought to do without crystal's guidance. when they actually work together, its incredible. crystal literally fights her own personal demon to get back to the boys. edwin is trusting her enough to openly admit that he has no idea how a vhs works and trusts her to put in the work to save his person. when she's in danger, he pulls her out because he cares and she's given him reason to. she doesn't question when she comes out from her own head and edwin immediately asks for help, something he almost never does. when she talks about how she's a bad person, edwin immediately tells her that she isn't. he wastes no time in assuring her that she couldn't be anything but the person she is now. she also points out the moment charles' mask goes right back up and offers a lot of insight to edwin. because edwin hasn't really had a friend before charles and charles was already doing this when they met. he had no reason to think that it wasn't a normal thing. but crystal points it out and he notices, he listens and he learns.

ep4: this is another one i dont particularly remember much of these two from. the ep starts with edwin asking if charles wanted to talk about his father, something he never would have done without crystal's guidance. when edwin tells crystal and charles to go off together, she asks him if he's ok, which in the moment, is said in a somewhat joking tone. but once he's gone, she asks charles about it because she's concerned about him and she knows him well enough to know something's wrong. when she's angry that the washer woman didn't give her an answer, he apologizes genuinely because he does want the best for her.

ep5: this ep starts off with a lot of emotional maturity from crystal. she admits that she isn't in the right space to start a relationship and i'll be honest, i hadn't seen that from a show before. made me love her even more. one of my favorite moments of the show is them haunting twitchy ritchy. when he makes deprecating and homophobic 'jokes', crystal is quick to shut him down. and i would argue that she knew edwin was gay, i'd argue for hours. she notices his distress and immediately shuts the dude down, and hard. in return, when ritchy tries to be intimidating, edwin is the first to step in. he extinguishes the flame with a satisfied lil smirk and crystal didn't even have to look over to know that he would step in. and we don't really see it, but i'd bet watching edwin do childish little haunting things probably made her smile. it's a scene i think about all the time. when edwin shoos them away from the summoning and charles questions his choice, crystal sticks up for the decision. its small and unintentional, but there is an aspect where she admits that he's right. something she wouldn't do if she didn't like him and respect him. and when edwin realizes that marin killed the jocks, he's rushing out behind charles. hell it looks like he's pushing him forward to get them downstairs. crystal emphasizes at the end that she sympathizes with the boys, that it was a shitty thing to have in common that they were all victims. yet she offers her sympathy nonetheless. and when edwin says he's had enough emotion for the day, she isn't offended that he wasn't receptive or anything like that. she just smiles, knowing that he really can't handle a lot of emotions and she knows that he doesn't mean anything negative by it. she shows that she understands him and that she doesn't judge who he is.

ep6: when crystal loses her powers, she's scared to tell edwin. she says that she's afraid that he would consider her useless and toss her aside. but that stems from the fact that she really values him as a friend and is scared of being abandoned by the only people she has. and when edwin finds out, he is shocked sure but he's also concerned. he insists that he wouldn't have left her behind and she tells him that he would. its an emotional moment for her and i wouldn't write off that she's just really defensive in the moment. when she sees the boys in trouble, about to be dead-dead, that's when she regains her abilities because she cares about both of the boys and gods be damned if she's gonna let a witch tear them from her. and as the walk back, she leans into charles because she knows edwin doesn't like touch. but he's still right behind her, still nearby and offering silent support. and he goes the step of naming one of their plans after her, plain and simple. she shows her appreciation in the same slightly sarcastic tone they use with each other all the time.

ep7: so many thoughts. the second she finds out that edwin is in hell, she's already resolved to go get him. she has known the boy for a few weeks at most and she cares so much and is so selfless that she doesn't hesitate to volunteer to go to actual fucking hell. when she's told she can't? she tracks down her abusive demon ex who has literally tormented and plagued her mind nonstop. she walks right into his domain and demands he open her a door to hell. literally demands the person who has ruined her life to let her into hell to rescue her friend. when he refuses? she's ready to throw hands and doesn't hesitate to do so. and when the boys come back? yes, she does hug charles and not edwin, but she knows that isn't his thing. but when it cuts back to the teens after the night nurse speaks, you see her arm falling from edwin's. even though he hates hugs and she knows it, she still reached out and held his arm to show how happy she was that he was there, that he was safe. because even though he doesn't hug, she still needed to show him she was happy he was back. she talks about how she fought david and edwin expresses surprise and concern. her retort? 'it was the funniest thing. my friend got dragged to hell and i just had to try and help him.' she doesn't even think about hiding how much she cares and edwin's little smile just confirms how much it means to him.

ep8: when she's recovering her memories, edwin is there. he's watching over her with charles and that just hits something in me. he must have spent so long in the dollhouse exhausted, hoping someone would watch over him so he could be safe and rest. and when crystal is vulnerable, he's doing it. he watches over her as she calls her parents and the second she says that they didn't care, he is insisting that there must be some kind of explanation. every time she wakes up after eating the memory orbs, he rushing to her right beside charles. and i'd bet my bottom dollar he was stressed the whole time she was out. when crystal leaves, edwin does offer her a handshake. she jokes about how he's changed, how he's gotten friendlier, and he jokes back, even throwing in a reference to hell. it's a sweet little interaction and it shows their friendship and familiarity. esther takes the boys and she doesn't hesitate to work a way to get them back. she goes right to the cat king and argues that edwin is her friend and tck should help them because he has personal interest. she charges right into esther's house and already has a plan in place. she spends a minute on charles because she knows edwin's in danger and his screams are fucking unbearable. she offers herself as a distraction so niko can free edwin. when she's pinned against the wall, she scream-pleads for edwin to hold on and it is full of desperation, because she needs her friend to be okay. that scream haunts my mind because she is scared and she knows he is too, and she needs him to hold on and be okay. and when niko 'dies', they are huddled over her body and mourning together. in the end, edwin gives her a professional offer for her to have a permanent place with the agency. and this girl, so naturally full of love and affection, hugs him with a massive smile on her face. because she's been looking for people to belong with and she's found em and they want her around. and she's gonna do anything she can to hold onto them, come hell, demons or high water.

basically, crystal is beyond amazing and her sibling relationship with edwin is my favorite. if you don't like her, argue with the goddamn wall.
