*crashes through the ceiling* Would you mind telling me about your OC Zeus? 💜

*the day has come to talk about this big maladjusted baby*

TL:DR version as his story spans over 10+ years of fanfic/rp and general AU content: Zeus is the brother (as in 'he' and his brother were created out of the same batch of NE-a parasites and placed inside T-103 clone Tyrants so saying they are related is a 'yes?') of Nemesis, the NE-T Tyrant that features in RE3. They were both 'borne' around the same time becoming middle brothers, Nem being created sibling no 2, and Zeus no 3 in order. They both were raised in a lab where their caretakers Simon Ghandon and Tracey Gamine groomed them to become battle ready. Tracey was kind and empathetic, Simon was...not. The labs were not kind to them in any way. Nem and Zeus are considered twins because of their being the near splitting image of each other and both were very close hence the purposeful names they were given. Zeus was the strongest of their 'pack' (there was 4 NE-Ts in total) but the soft hearted one; not the brightest but was supremely loyal to his brothers especially towards Nemesis. Zeus in particular due to the abusive world they lived in latched onto Nem heavily. As Ghandon's abuse of them all intensified, Nemesis grew very withdrawn developing intense anger issues, escalating until he took out his anger onto Zeus creating a toxic situation that ended with Zeus at some point 'dead'. This was revealed later to be not the case as Zeus returned many years later, mentally 'not quite right' anymore due to experimentation to keep him in control to Simon. Zeus is delusional, seeing the world through a child like lens with anyone not Father (Simon) or Nemesis as animals that he desires to eat out of a longing to be loved/cared for. As for Nemesis, Zeus both hates and loves him, wanting to punish him yet loves him very much in a romantic way, only understanding that what they 'had' was ""love"" (it was not it's codependency/latching on to what he knows, lets get that out of the way) and determined to have Nemesis all for himself even if he has to murder his sow and piglet (Jill and Sia). Zeus is a dangerously deluded and broken creature that has no leash since Ghandon's death and has no regard for human life, he just wants to be loved by Nemesis no matter the harm it would cause him. He talks with a tick in his voice where he can get out about 4 words a sentence, heals way slower and grasps human nuance even less than Nemesis does, and says things unaware they sound unsettlingly violent, childish and/or sexual in tone. Now add on to the fact that his strain of Tyrant are near impossible to kill, can take out special forces with ease and can infest people and you have a walking nightmare on your hands. Zeus is also thematically a foil for Nemesis, reflecting Nem's obsessive nature towards Jill and inability to see past his own need for love/intimacy to see he's hurting the target of said obsession. A lot of people in the AU intentionally are reflections/foils of others in this tangled, betentacled web. *As an aside this boy is such a barometer in how ppl react. It's either 'aww he's so fucking sad let me help him', 'I want to date and fix hims (somehow?)!' or 'he is problematic and mean bc incest' no in between lawl. Thanks for the ask!

please tell us about the house cat w trauma uwu

ok so in this post? Crow's the vanished geriatric who pulled a "YOU CAN'T FIRE ME BC I QUIT!!" the reason he vanished is bc he's immortal and causes problems on purpose so someone got the bright idea to incapacitate him and just store him in a basement somewhere. the "I QUIT" was him dropping a building on hundreds of ppl and himself

Crow is a shapeshifting immortal house cat. there's a bunch of ways to be immortal in this setting but his is "will live until killed, then is reborn in a new body somewhere" bc, you know, cats have 9 lives and all that. besides various OP magics he's mastered over the years he has all the physical durability of a normal cat (or w/e he's shapeshifted into) so he dies a Lot

here's the tldr of his timeline, but some extra deets are:

he almost predates human civilization, so yea dying and being reborn and drying again and not moving on from old grudges and dying again hasn't been great for his mental health. he could die fr this time whenever he chooses but he refuses to move on bc;

he needs to kill his ex! he became immortal w Some Guy known only as The Man and they spent a few thousand years as [RELATIONSHIP UNDEFINED] <3 during their years together they spent a lot of time "helping" early civilization along. The Man ended up v respected across multiple dynasties for his Age And Wisdom! Crow not so much bc he's just a cat guys 🙄 but hey! he makes a good expendable and reusable resource! just keep him living the high life until we need someone w super powers to mack a suicide run B] This Will Not Backfire In Any Way

he's spent most of his Revenge Quest Centuries traveling around w a body snatching strix named Robin who causes even more and worse problems on purpose, and a much younger immortal Robin's playing around w named Hawk. he's a werewolf and due to the nature of his immortality he has the special power to Randomly Proc A Small Amnesia Field meaning he's (almost) unable to grow as a person :] i must emphasize how much of an evil and sinister woman Robin is tho. she is constantly gaslighting Hawk and triggering Crow and making all 3 of then Worse bc she's immortal and it's funny to her :]

these days Crow is kicking it trapped in the body of a teenage boy who suffers from Problems. they live an existence of torment but only from Crow's perspective

Crow also blew up the moon, but that's neither here nor there

in conclusion

Came to say that Azrumo's design slaps. I love all of the piercings, the scars, the double robotic arms. Killer design, 10/10.

Thank you! They are one of my favorite ocs to draw, very fun. I'm glad other people like them too! :]

Hey hey! I discovered your little guy dog series not too long ago and fell in love with them.

I'm not sure if anyone has asked this before, but is Machete (the white dog, right?) based on a pet you had, or did it come to you randomly?

If I had to pinpoint the earliest inspirations I had for him, I'd say they were this photo of an Ibizan Hound in an old dog book from the 70's that my grandparents used to have:

I remember being fascinated by this particular dog, I hadn't seen that many sighthounds/podencos in person so it looked weirdly stretched and ghostly and pointy. I thought it was the coolest looking dog ever. I think I was in elementary school at the time.

Also my childhood favorite toy was this albino rabbit here, called Sissi (Finnish for guerrilla soldier):

I think they were one of my first toys, or at least the most important one, and I would consistently pick them whenever a daycare or preschool had one of those 'bring a toy with you' days (feels weird to have to call a plush rabbit 'they' but Finnish doesn't have any gendered pronouns and I don't think I ever thought of them as a gendered being). So albinism was something I was aware of from very young age and I drew a lot of all white, red eyed animals.
