I did this in 2020? 😭 I think I remember this, it was a really boring uni class

I'm actually trying to redraw her

[tridentkickflipper123]

do you have any art of whole/have drawn him before?

I have drawn him before yes, but not a lot. Whole to me is a lot less of a character and more of a representation of CJ himself (and... even with a fictional Whole / in the context of the album itself he's still a lot more of a Concept to me than a character) so I'm not as comfortable drawing him in Situations the way I do with HMS. I mean... they're all representations of CJ on some level obviously, but there's more of a clear cut distinction / degree of separation with HMS that there isn't with Whole, if that makes sense? (though on that note, there's still a lot of stuff that I wouldn't be comfortable drawing with HMS the way I would be while drawing a fully fictional not-based-off-a-real-person character)

(^ also I will mention this just in case anyone misunderstands: this is purely how I feel about my own art / my own limits with it and isn't meant to be representative of how I feel about the fandom doing these things. it's clear everyone has their own perspective / limits on this kind of thing and that's completely fine. as far as I'm aware CJ himself is chill with a lot of this so like. thumbs up)

if I ever draw Whole it's either directly representative of a song (like my Time Machine Reprise art that I never finished RIP </3) ooor because I think it's more appropriate for the picture to include him than to not (like the God Bless Your Black Heart art. originally I was going to put Soul in the place of the headless person and include only three people total, until I realized putting Whole there was a lot more fitting overall)

here's this ooold wip though that's sort of a callback to the Hidden in the Sand art I did. it comes from a concept / possible AU idea of HMS drawn as rubberhose toons; I had the idea of Whole in turn being a human person rotoscoped into the picture, meant to be sort of a mix between Alice Comedies and Out of the Inkwell / old Fleischer cartoons in general. this is a super unfinished and messy sketch but I don't have anything else orz

(I wanted to draw more of this toon concept in general but it's been like 2 months since I've touched this file so... *looks around*... maybe I'll do more with it in the future since there's a few art ideas I still want to do but it's not priority right now :'D)

maybe I'll draw a proper Whole picture eventually... (<- just got an idea for it while answering this ask). though once again it'd still be less as a character and more of a representation of CJ himself... hopefully this is all understandable. thumbs up again

Okay, picture this with me.

You've got a house on a cliff by the sea side. It's moderate in size, not quite large, not quite small, in an older style with groaning supports and maybe a bit damp, but it's home.

What, hypothetically, pallet and colors are you working with to color it?

Ok so I've lived in some ooold houses before - and never again. Yes it had character & history. but they almost always had horrible plumbing issues.

So the house on a sea side cliff - would be something a bit more modern - maybe mid century. & I would want the natural wood & of course the views to be the main feature of the house

Some kinda-chibi sketches with angel au! (Two last pictures are ooold)

[pixelpaladin24]

|| So someone made a post on this hellsite with this:

d6c36dfa8e6437119fe2be78f28c28679ab1d3647a69adacba24b0c0acf3c497

I saw people in the comments/replies were trying to figure out what it meant so I went and cheated with character.ai which said

Wizard - Will? 👀 The _ referencing Upside Down? And the |? Remember that ooold picture from ages ago where they separated episode four from five with a thicker line??

[placebo-ambrosia]

sometimes it’s faaaadeeeeeed assassinaaaaaated for fear of growing ooold

[angelicdonuts]

what was your first ps oc? what was their personality/design like?

(oh my god it's been my THIRD TIME having to rewrite ALL of this because I keep accidentally wiping it..BUT IM NO QUITTER!!! And 3rd times a charm!! :3)

THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH FOR ASKING THIS!! (feels silly having to type that for the 3rd time lol!)

After thinking through and having to write this multiple times now, I've come to the conclusion that my first Pico's School oc actually started out as just a concept, then became a fully fledged oc only after I already made a few others, but I think the title still goes to them!

As a concept, they were a spiteful ghost. Not sure why, where they came from, nor did I ever decide literally anything else about them. Their whole thing was that they were this spiteful ghost who was also kinda silly? All I really remember was that they liked messing with Pico and enjoyed the thought of everyone in the world meeting a horrible end? Strange, I know. But don't worry, it gets worse, LMAO!!

When I brought up the idea to my best friend and got a mixed review, I immediately dropped them out of embarrassment, just to bring them back to add something to another PS oc of mine who I made with a whole batch of them (All of which I still have and TREASURE because they all mean so much to me)

Their name is Noah, and their whole character (at least at the time since they're DRASTICALLY different now) was that they were super shy, EXTREMELY timid, and depressed. (And also dinosaurs!!) And remember the first oc I mentioned? Well, their name is now Glass, thanks to the same best friend, and their whole existence revolves around making Noah's life a living hell.

The whole story behind the two was that Noah got bullied when they were younger and obviously at a different school and got forced to go into the boiler room that was rumored to be haunted?? Henceforth, Noah got semi-possessed by Glass.

Nearly everything about Glass revolves around Noah, so it's a little hard to explain them by themself, but there are a few things about them that are particularly interesting.

Their silliness and spitefullness are now split into two completely different personalities, but both with the ultimate goal of getting Noah to 'self-destruct' (I swear its for a reason but GOD that sounds so bad to the point its funny) The spiteful side did so by telling them horrible things and just making Noah hate themself in general. The silly side did so by making sure that any peace Noah ever found never lasted by being atrociously annoying.

Also they shapeshift, because they can. And that's cool. So yeah!

They don't have an exact story behind why they are the way they are. They've gone from 'kid who got murdered' to 'ghost with no chill' to 'weird other dimensional being that wants humanity dead' to 'demon who wants to wreak havoc on mankind'.

And as of now, I don't know what to do with Glass, both in terms of character and appearance wise, since I really haven't worked on them whatsoever for what feels like years, and like I said I completely reworked Noah, character and all, and their entire existence revolves around them, so I think it's only right that I completely rework them and maybe even finally give them a solid backstory and character.

As for what they look like actually isn't too hard even if they do shapeshift since I gave them this sort of 'normal' or 'standard' form, which itself has two different versions depending on which personality is talking. Heres my most recent take on what they look(ed?) like (and I mean recent as in literally right now LOL):

I think it's obvious on its own but left side is 'meanie' right side is 'silly'

The pictures around the edge are OLD OOOLD doodles I've made of them (some of them have Noah's old designs in them too :3), but basically 'meanie' is pretty boring, but they do literally all of the shapeshifting, meanwhile 'silly' is ribbon-like? And they have a mouth and arms. Smaller differences are the cowlicks and whatever the hell you call that strand of hair in the middle of their face

Anywaysss! I could talk all about Noah and literally EVERYTHING about them, but that's probably for another time considering how long this already is!

Sup it's Liz B)

Was just thinking about how all of my mutuals reblog different stuff and I got this crazy idea for an ask. What kinda stuff do you reblog most often? How would you define your preference in tumblr posts? Personally I think I'm just generally rambunctious, but also I reblog anything related the internet and cool programs and policies and stuff

AAAAAA FREN LIZ SPOTTED!!!!! i forgor i had an inbox lmao. if it's an ooold ancient tumblr post that i saw a LOT when i was a kid (like the colour of the sky post or the hank green post) then i will always reblog to keep em alive (public service, respecting elders) but also i love those posts that are people playing with jpegs like dolls :3 oh!!!! and those DASHBOARD simulators that are like "if vampires had tumblr" or smth like that that usually peek into what kind of weird niche internet drama would be going on in that universe's tumblr!! i also have an aesthetic blog for pretty pictures uwu i like vaporwave and dreamcore/weirdcore a LOT but recently the frutiger aero trend has won me over cause i LOVE colourful stuff that makes me feel weirdly sad...

[cakejerry]

sometimes I'm like jimin is pretty but he isn't that pretty??? 🤔 his fans are clinically obsessed so they're biased and can't be trusted but I was looking at old old ooold fansite pictures of him and I was like WOAH wtfff man is otherworldly pretty fr and apparently has always been??? guess they're right after all

Well.... I mean he definitely has his moments. Like, the image of him that fans push as this ethereal being is definitely heavily curated. It's always certain angles, lighting, styling, makeup... And it's okay to admit he looks better all made up and presentable as an idol than he does just hanging around- that's true for everyone! And for that reason, yes, jimin is not as pretty as people say he is.

To Tokyo by public transport, Day 7

It was about 8 o'clock when I woke up. Time to eat. Feeding time, that what I guessed, would be the biggest event every day. To my surprise we still had not left Burgas. In fact, there where still Trucks boarding. The picture of the others on board started to clean up. Alot of truckers, and some 'tourists' how you could call the others. Even an family with an 3 years old boy boarded over night. It took them until lunchtime to leave. The food was again okay and plenty. In fact, you would call it great if it was just not that tasteless. Somehow tasteless. Too bad. But I guess they have to cook it in a way that everyone can and want to consume it. But just putting some salt and pepper on it is not the same. Again there had been flesh. Again bird. Whenever we had a meal it would be bird and many people started to question what kind of bird it is. In the end we decided to call it 'Seagull'. Just because it would make a lot of sense.

Leaving the harbour somehow had not that much emotional impact on me. Most people tried to use as much 'still online' time as possible to call out to the family. I did the same. But it was not like an big yaaay we start!!! Moment. More an 'oh wow, so late'. In the end I think I'm the only person that needs to arrive somewhat in time on the other side.

The trains from Batumi start 14 or 17ish o'clock. If we arrive 6 to 12 hours late that could be somewhat unfortunate for me. But, yeah. We will see.

Some truckers soon started to eat and drink in the dining room and I love the fact, that they do it just right under an old Soviet Poster about not drinking Booze. That's my kind of humor. Conrad, that ooold german grandfather started to chat a lot with me. So much, that people started to ask if we would be related. Its crazy that he, with 87years old, is still driving around with his camper. Alone. But it don't have to be alone!

I'm pretty sure he offered every cute lady on board to join him for a bit. And somehow he was not that well with everyone refusing his offer.

Most of the 'tourists' here want to travel around in Georgia for some weeks. Some even came by train and using the same route as I did. Surprising. I was not expecting this but this means that Budapest-Bukarest-Varna-Burgas was really an good and natural choice. Nice to know.

Only the french people seems to plan an loong trip over to Mongolia. They are the only people planing in Months, not just weeks.

And yeah. What else to say? Weather comes. Weather goes. After some more Seagull in the Evening the wind got so strong, that I felt pretty seasick and drunk. So I just went to bed before I would end up enjoying the Seagull for an second time.

Were moving. Keep on moving.

Everything is moving! @.@

Ooof digging up some ooold art for this but here is our “superhero” team:

In order: Azklynn (alien form), Jade, Holly, and Alex (she’s acting).

Azklynn doesn’t look like this during the story, though. They are transformed to look like a human when they go to Earth. They are a black girl with a similar hairstyle to the one pictured, but with pink and orange braids on one side. They do not wear a toga either lol.

Here are some Picrews I've made of them more recently:

Alex: the interesting thing about this is that here, she is wearing cool tones. Every other time she's pictured she is wearing warm tones, which she prefers. This is a way of showing that she doesn't even have access to a good wardrobe at this point. (this is early in Puppets. good clothes show up eventually--after Alex complains)

To see how she has changed throughout the years, see this post

Picrew link

Jade: You'll notice he had different hair here than in the last picture. He's changing his hair so much that it doesn't matter. Also his hair is actually brown cause I like it better. And this version of Jade would never be caught dead that other dress.

Also, in case you can't tell, Jade was originally going to be a witch, but I switched it. Soooo do with that what you will

Picrew link

Holly: the first thing you may notice about Holly is that she used to be a fairy. I decided somewhat recently to switch that to Jade. I thought the switched aesthetics would be funny. Her hair is also a darker blonde than it looks in this image.

Hello Lizzie. Would you like to talk about your ocs, particularly puppetsverse?

Okokok so:

(You’ve awakened the beast, I never shut up about my ocs lol) (sat down to write a brief preview and ended up with 2 thousand words) (warning: some parts are very rough)

So, one day, four teens awaken tied together in a room containing nothing but a door, painted beige to match the rest of the room. Eventually, they manage to get out of their bounds and find the key to the locked door (don’t ask me how: some puzzle or something I’m not quite sure). Turns out they work pretty damn well together.

On the other side, they find a combined living room and kitchen with a hallway that leads to four separate bedrooms (two to the left, two to the right) and a locked door at the end. The door looks to be a front door, but it’s impossible to tell since it won’t open. There are no windows in any room.

The teens exchange a look as they realize that this place must be another puzzle. But, before they can start discussing their strategy, a loud ping sounds from the living room. There, on the TV, reads a message:

Thus starts the team’s first mission: (insert mission here) (something with going out to fight someone I think) (the front door unlocks and then they go outside and their mission awaits) (also superhero suits or something)

One mission turns into two, two turns into a dozen, and suddenly months have gone by and the team knows very little about who is sending them on these missions or why they are fighting. However, they without fail, every time the TV goes off, they suit up and head out the door. They try to resist, but it’s the only time they get to leave the house and cabin fever is killing them. And the second they finish fighting whatever monster lays on the other side or saving whatever innocent civilian needs it they all pass out and wake up the next morning back in their new beds.

During a fight on a particularly stormy day, one teen tries to escape. But, before he’s gotten 20 feet, he’s out cold. The rest of the team is too overwhelmed with fighting to try and help him, and he lies there the entire fight. Afterwards, he wakes up with everyone else like normal.

They don’t spend all their time doing missions, however. At some point a training gym shows up in their house. There are also tons of board games, craft supplies, books, video games, and anything else the teens could want. They are never bored. The fridge is always full. If someone mentions they want anything, be it food, entertainment, or comfort items, it appears somewhere in the house after the next mission.

Even the missions aren’t too bad. No matter how dangerous the threat seems to be, nobody has yet to get more than a few scratches or maybe a bruise. The team works well together. They win every time, no matter the odds.

If you ignore the fact that they are trapped in a place without windows, only allowed outside to fight, and aren’t allowed any way to contact the outside world, the team is living pretty nice. But of course they are constantly planning an escape. However, every time they try, they end up thwarted. It’s scary how perfectly they’re stopped every time. It’s almost as if someone is always listening. They quickly figure out that they must be bugged, but even the quietest conversations seem to get picked up. There is no privacy in this place.

Let’s meet the team!!

But first! One of them is hiding something. Can you guess who (I’m curious. Also, give your reasonings)?

Alex (she/her), 19, lesbian:

Alex has been an actress for as long as she remembers. Alex is actually the main character of another of my stories, “the before” (stand in title. It’s called that ‘cause it happens before “Puppets”). Alex doesn’t let anybody in. Nobody knows the real her. Honestly, even Alex feels like she’ll never know the real her. Her real personality has gotten so tangled with her celebrity persona that she doesn’t know where one ends and the other starts. And just when she’d gotten casted with in her next big role, and her team had managed to convince her co-star to stage a romance to mirror their big-screen one, she’s shoved into this fucking situation. Her career is all she has at this point and this is going to ruin it. She has worked for this all her life. There is nothing she hasn’t sacrificed to get where she is and she needs to get the fuck out of here or it will all go down the fucking drain. (I do have more info about her if you’re curious. The tag is #alex oc. This bio is short because I’ve been writing about her for months lol)

Quick facts:

*She loves musicals. Her favorites are Hamilton and Heathers at the moment.

*Most of her acting jobs have been horror movies/shows

*When she was younger, Alex always wanted to be on Broadway. This was never an option for her, however, since her parents didn’t have her trained in live performance or vocally, and a pivot could ruin the reputation they were building for her.

*She has trouble trusting people, especially friends. She’s only ever had one close friendship, and that didn’t end well. (see “the before”, which I’m currently editing and plan on posting some day, or #the before or #alex+seb)

Azklynn (she/her at beginning of story, they/them at the end) 19 (for the case of simplicity, they age the same as a human would), agender, unlabeled:

Azklynn is… terrified, honestly. This is their first time on Earth and, well, it’s looking like it might be their last. They’re not exactly sure how long it’s been but the shuttle that would return them home has surely gone by now. Azklynn has no idea where they’re going to go when, or if, they get out of here. At this point, they’ve lost all interest in getting out of here, but they’re trying to care because everyone else has entire lives that they need to get back to.

Azklynn had been waiting for years to come to Earth. They’d been studying its cultures since the third year of the school. In the fifth year of the school, they’d gotten a chance to take an Earthean language class and had picked English because their friend was taking it. They worked their buttocks off to be good enough at English to join the school trip to Earth in the fifteenth year of the school. But now, the month-long trip they’d spent years preparing for has turned into a real life nightmare. Everything here is so new, so different, and as much as they are enjoying it, someone from their species is not allowed to stay on Earth forever.

Additional character stuff: Human gender is weird. The idea that humans introduce themselves based on their genitals has always been a concept that is hard to grasp for Azklynn. Their species has four different sexes, although they are not always distinct as humans’ seem to be (obviously humans don’t always fit into distinct sexes, but Azklynn thinks they do (they weren’t taught about intersex people in their Earthean classes)). And the idea that your genitals determine your place in the societal structure is absurd. Of course, Azklynn’s culture isn’t perfect by any means, and they find other reasons to think less of others, but seriously.

When they mentioned these thoughts to Holly, she told Azklynn that some people were neither, and that they were called “they”. Azklynn knew Jade was called “they,” “he,” and “she,” so it made sense that some people were just “they.” Really, it makes more sense. Azklynn has sometimes wondered about being called “they.” Maybe it makes more sense than “she,” since this whole human idea of gender is completely crazy. But, this option is new information, so Azklynn will have to think about it.

Quick facts:

*Azklynn also hates the idea of sexuality labels as a concept. They think they needlessly limit people.

*Thanks to Alex, Azklynn has been getting into musicals, too. They really like The Sound of Music because they used to listen to it in English class, so it reminds them of home.

*Azklynn has always been fascinated by human culture, but they are especially entranced by the entertainment industry, since in their culture, time spent not working is seen as time wasted, so there is nothing like it back home.

*Because of this, they never quite get used to having days on end with no work to do.

*Azklynn’s Earthean classes were put together in the 80s’, so some things are a bit outdated.

Jade (they/he/she), 18, genderqueer, pansexual, gray-aromantic: Jade was about two months away from graduating high school when they were kidnapped. They were ready to leave their shitty small town, the friends they never really got along with, and the helicopter parents they were almost free from.

She had been planning to move across the country to study (I’m not exactly sure what actually) at (some college on the west coast USA). But, seeing as she has no idea how long she’s been trapped in this hellscape, she might have missed her one chance to escape her small town.

He’d been able to get a full ride scholarship, since his parents–who could very much afford it, by the way–were not willing to help cover any costs unless he went to the college in their hometown. Um, not happening. Not in a million years. But, he can feel the time running out as the days turn into weeks turn into months? Jade isn’t exactly sure. Time is weird here, but no one else seems to notice.

See, Jade isn’t fully human. Her mother’s mother–her grandmother–was actually a fairy. Jade’s mom has always despised that she’s part fairy. She hates anything that is outside the norm. Including Jade, it sometimes seems.

Jade had never really known their grandma, since she died when they were fairly young, but their grandpa loved to talk about her. He was fascinated with fairies and their magic. He passed that fascination down to his grandchild. Unfortunately, with their grandma unable to teach them and their mom unwilling to, they never learned how to actually wield their magic.

Still, sometimes, Jade notices things no one else does. Sometimes it’s little things–like the one time he caught the stormy sky flicker into a bright blue hue mid-fight. He had, of course, run for it, desperate for freedom. Then… nothing. Sometimes, he notices big things. Like how, when they wake up after missions, he swears they were out for longer than the few hours everyone assumes they were. Or, the weird, magical vibe he knows is coming from one of the bedrooms. Someone is hiding something, and Jade is going to figure out who it is. Hopefully without alerting anyone else to his search.

Quick facts:

*Jade has always hated Alex. They find her cheesy and think all her relationships were obviously faked. Needless to say, they’re not happy to be living with a girl that they deem spoiled and fake. (Jade also hates musicals, which doesn’t help Alex’s case) (dw, they become friends eventually)

*Jade had an older sister. When she was 17, she snuck out and ended up getting hit by a drunk driver in the middle of the night. Since then, Jade’s parents have been extra protective of Jade, who was 12 at the time. This has really strained their relationship with him.

*Despite her fairy heritage, Jade’s aesthetic leans more witchy. Her closet is mostly purples and other cool tones. However, she’ll never miss a chance to snatch some bold earrings or patches.

Holly (she/her), 18:

Holly loves everyone. Well, maybe not everyone, but it’s pretty hard to get Holly to dislike you. And even harder to get her to let you know.

Holly is the glue that holds the group together. She is a self-proclaimed meddler. When Alex and Jade argue about one thing or another, calling each other stuck-up or lazy, she’s there to mediate. When Azklynn wonders aloud why humans even have gender, Holly gently tells her that she doesn’t have to be a girl. When she notices Alex sneaking glances at Azklynn, she’s right there, encouraging her to go for it. And when she spies Azklynn staring at Alex while she eats… well, Holly always did love a good romance.

And she loves her friends. She’s never really had many, and despite everything, she’s really enjoying finally having a group. They have to rely on each other. There is no other way to survive at this point. Leaving people out isn’t an option. It’s new for Holly

Holly still struggles with letting the others in, though. She’s had a lot of problems with friends in the past. Growing up, she was the weirdo. The outcast. All she’s ever wanted was a good, solid group of peers to care about her. And now she has that. And she hates that she has to feel guilty for finally having that.

Quick facts:

*Holly grew up in a very small, secluded community. When they were very young, the kids in her community pinned Holly as the weird kid and she was never really included after that.

*Growing up, Holly would have said her best friend was comic books. No matter where she was, she always had a superhero comic tucked under her arm or in her bag. When she wasn’t reading, she was imagining fighting bad guys with her own superhero team

*Holly likes to focus on other people’s problems to avoid her own. That’s part of why reading appealed to her so much. It’s also why she has such a hard time letting people in.

Ummm hope you enjoyed my little ramble, I’d be happy to answer any more questions you have of them.

[just-like-playing-tag]

I had never thought about this page much before, but I think it's very nice how it displays how both Norman and Vincent were able to grow. Their mutual development is also very neatly displayed by the page layout, with them mirroring each other, shouting one another things that are soaked with what they've learnt. First, it shows how Norman has finally learnt his lesson (aka stop sacrificing yourself), and maybe for the first time in the entire series has started to truly believe a future where all of them survive is really possible. Second, and even more striking, is Vincent's growth: I really like his internal monologue and how he admits he was wrong. I really appreciate the depth it adds to the character: he didn't rely on Norman just because of his abilities, or because he didn't care about his humanity, but because Norman really made him feel like there was hope for him and his friends in the desperate world they lived in. I find it a quite natural reaction from Vincent to, after their Lambda escape, have grown to admire and adore Norman like a savior. Of course Norman was very young, but they all were, and I don't find it too strange for his age to have gone overlooked (Norman 30 y/o looks definitely didn't help ahah). But now Vincent is finally realizing how wrong he's been, how unfair for him was to rely so much on Norman and to treat him as an unworldly being- thought process that very nicely reaches its climax with Vincent addressing to him as Norman rather than his typical, admiring “boss”.

Now, Norman was very young, naïve, and I sure don't want to blame him for the way he chose to burden everything by himself- after all he's always been contradistinctly self-sacrificial. I'm not blaming Norman for taking everything on his shoulders, because it's hard to learn how to act in this kind of high-pressure circumstances. But at the same time I like to think that had him been more open with his struggles, the Lambda group would have realized he was a human sooner and they could have worked on their obstacles and eradication plans together: in the end, they're all good kids. So I'm happy this page shows how both Norman and Vincent have grown as people, and makes me hopeful in the human world the Lamba squad is going to grow a more healthy and supportive relationship with each other :)

Mama is the most shaped: a collection

[cookiewoli]

That's a great idea !

My builder changed since the first time I play MTAS and now xD

First appearance :

Second appearance :

Now :

I remembered that "in the ooold time when Fang wasn't romanceable and didn't have any quests yet" I did this when his quests just get implemented:

(the drawing are old from... 1-2 years ?)

Explanation:

I had some Fang's picture in my house. And, then, during one of his quest where he loose consciousness outside, your builder take him to her house. AAAAAAND he was bugged and stuck in front of the painting.

And I did this when he was FINALLY ROMANCEABLE :

Now my builder looks like this in drawing :

Sketchbook studies of my builder Sadie! I’d love to see your builders from their first day in Sandrock to present day!

The gen Z/Young Millennial demographic collectively not knowing about camera flashes etc giving you red eye and turning "humans don't have eyeshine" into a meme & way to create cryptids from random photos.. really is something, huh.
