your design notes for the iterators are really well done and thought out and the additional emphasis on shape communication in character design is weirdly underappreciated also the fact that Sig only reaches to Moon's chin is so cute god he NEEDS to cuddle with that big round lady
Thank you! I'm glad to see people appreciating the effort I put into that, especially when I still have yet to explain what the designs all symbolize! But underappreciated? Where, and in what way? From what I've seen, general shape language seems to be a pretty common idea in character design, and I find it's the smaller details like line rhythms, weight distribution, and proportions that aren't given as much emphasis.
And on that last part, man, I actually just realized that height difference when you mentioned that! Ever since the tags of this post I've always adored the idea of Moon being noticeably taller and bigger than Sig — especially since it's kinda opposite of how I imagine their dynamic of her being the softer, more polite one while he's carefree, yet stronger and more protective — and I've had my idea of their measured height in my mind for a while, but I guess the visual height difference never sunk in until now. Even so, I still love it!
But anyway, you ordered some Lilypad cuddles to go along with the height difference, right? Well, here you go!
Thanks for the idea too! I really haven't drawn these two in actual months and I feel like they're really overdue for some love, so hopefully I'll be posting more content of them soon!

Behind the scenes, American officials also believe there is limited time for Israel to try to accomplish its stated objective of taking out Hamas in its current operation before uproar over the humanitarian suffering and civilian casualties – and calls for a ceasefire – reaches a tipping point.
In fact, there is recognition within the administration that that moment may arrive quickly: Some of the president’s close advisers believe that there are only weeks, not months, until rebuffing the pressure on the US government to publicly call for a ceasefire becomes untenable, sources told CNN.
A lot of this pressure — the majority, I would wager — that Biden and US national leaders are getting is the result of people calling their reps, attending protests, writing to their newspapers and generally making themselves heard on this issue. People make a difference, and it's always worth reaching out to your legislators and telling them what you think.
Senators' info is pretty easy to find, since you've got two for every state (even DC and other non-state people have someone they can call!) but sometimes it's a little tricky remembering who your representative is, especially now with the district lines having changed up. So check your address here and then call their office — I've found more luck getting hold of an actual person at their local offices rather than the DC one, fwiw.

It’s the way I was gonna send this earlier but got distracted-
gojo and geto blurb that is in my head bc I just watched hidden inventory arc.
No it is not canon, no I don’t know how their powers work
AND NO THERE ARE NO SPOILERS ❤️❤️❤️
“You haven’t slept in two days, and you aren’t planning on sleeping again tonight, are you?”
I’m just so deep in thought abt this scene bc yeah. So here’s how I think the scene shoulda gone bc Gege is a coward:
—
The two nights of not sleeping were catching up to him, and Gojo feels like he’s going to die on day three. His body feels like a lead weight, and he can barely move. His eyes are burning, but he can’t dare to close them. He has to keep on full alert for… reasons.
Geto comes in and sees him in the state he’s in. His heart immediately drops. Gojo looks like he’s about to collapse.
He comes up next to the chair and places a hand on the white-haired sorcerer’s shoulder. The man jumps a good few feet in the air. “Shit- Suguru, you scared me.”
“Sorry, Satoru,” Geto whispers. “How’re ya’ holding up?”
“Decent,” Gojo hums, accentuated with a yawn. “I think I can smell shapes now.”
The brunette exhales a chuckle, kneeling to the left of the chair. “Yeah? What does a circle smell like?”
“Like a-“ he yawns, subsequently rubbing his sore temples. “Like- like uh- yeah.”
“I agree,” Suguru replies, turning off the lamp before slowly bringing his hand up to thumb at his friend’s thigh. “I’m sorry you have to be up for so long.”
The two are left in darkness, causing Gojo to release a loud sigh of relief “I’ll be fine… I’ve got you with me.”
The whisper in Gojo’s tone lets Geto know that his friend is about to cry. “Switch with me.”
“What?”
“I said switch. Let me sit.”
“Hah? Suguru-“
“Satoru, stand up.”
Begrudgingly, and with great effort, Gojo manages to stay upright for about four seconds before his knees and thighs fail and send him back down. He sits in the brunette’s lap, head hanging low.
“There you go… yeah… shh… let go, Satoru; it’s okay...” Geto soothes as he pushes the latter’s head against his chest. “You just get some sleep, and I will keep watch.”
“But-“
“Satoru-“
“Suguru, I can’t.” There’s pain in his voice. Geto can feel the shaking of Gojo’s body as tears burn behind his eyes. “I-I have to p-protect-“
“And you can’t protect them while you’re exhausted,” Suguru soothes as he starts to comb through the white mop beneath his fingertips. “If they came after us now, what would you do?”
There’s no reply.
“Please…rest, Satoru,” Geto begs, hugging his friend closer to him. “It’s just us awake… you can be vulnerable now. You don’t have to be the strongest with me.”
With that spoken confirmation, Satoru shivers as he breaks down into soft cries. Suguru cuddles him with zero judgement and zero words spoken. He hums a soft song the two have always enjoyed as he begs the greater gods above to allow Gojo to sleep.
After a mere ten minutes, the white-haired male is sleeping soundly with residual tears on his face. Geto sighs in relief and hugs Gojo closer to him as he releases his cursed companion to watch over them all.
Gojo would probably be pissed at him, or he would pretend it never happened. But either way, Suguru smiles as he rubs his friend’s back and shoulders.
Tomorrow will have to be the judge…
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
*inhales*
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
DUCKY! Oh my- *explodes* THIS IS EVERYTHING??? (and nah you're totes right Gege get on Ducky's level with this emotional ANGST) Gojo not taking care of himself and Geto having to step in feels so canon? And him humming songs while he breaks down GAH! I love this and I love them- thank you for sharing this delightful masterpiece I am in HEAVEN! *hugs a thousand hugs*
