[alexmey-does-an-arts]

commissioned from @kociamieta thank you i love it :))))

[punks-never-die205]

Cuddling with Kid and Killer would be like...?

the safest place in the world I imagine.

Warm, snuggly

Oh wait, I got art from @magnuspool a while back that covers this well. It's OC art, but the vibes are there. (art of Quill before Quill was even really Quill.)

boob squishes all around <3

Day 21

Story telling is kind of my thing, so have a quick little story today XD

The rest is under the cut, but it's safe for work, I promise ^_^

It was just something quick, but it was fun xD

OC SMASH OR PASS

tagged by: lovingly stolen from @jinbeioyabun tagging: All my OC-having moots ❤️

Rules: Include physical descriptions or pics, and propaganda. The “other” label can be used for “sexuality misalignment” (ie: oc is femme and you’re gay, vice versa or you aren’t into smashing but a specific thing you wanna do with them like perhaps hug or study them under a microscope idk).

Quill

Art Credits: @aholepeach (top left) @yamiyamiart (top right) @mewiyev (bottom)

QUICK FACTS Height: 5'00" (152-154cm) Age: Complicated Gender: Literally Fluid Pronouns: any and all Sexuality: Pansexual Occupation: Scholar

PROS

Very experienced - able to educate, guide or follow

Flexible physically and experimentally

Loves to cuddle

Good at knowing when you need some space

Excellent communication skills

Flusters easily - on both sides of things. Has left Crocodile speechless before, has also literally jumped off a ship because they were blushing so hard.

Vocal in bed

NEUTRAL

Kinky

Because of how the OP world works, could be 20 - could be 60.

Quill has no memory prior to a certain point and can't tell you their age. This might make or break for some, but their body is most certainly adult.

Quill's body shape changes during REM sleep. That girl you drilled into the mattress yesterday might be a boy the next day, might be intersex the day after.

Sometimes a little to on the nose with their assumptions.

CONS

Communication skills are great, until they're calling you out on your bs and what you needed was a minute to breathe and call yourself out.

night terrors, trauma, depression - Quill tries to carry it well, but something they can't remember messes them up seemingly randomly.

Not great with commitment.

Not a lot of self-preservation in this one.

Can be an insufferable know-it-all

Anger issues

DETAILS

Would (fight/fuck/eat/test)

Despises Shanks (and won't elaborate) - would still hate fuck him.

Can go at it more than once a day, can go without. Enjoys existing around people he likes just as much she enjoys having sex.

libido is not connected to physical appearance

If you're feeling particularly feisty tell me details and musing in the tags/comments ^_^

Music: Quill & Tobiuo

OP OC x OP OC art of @quinloki's Quill and my Tobiuo brought about by Quin's music suggestions via ask and getting permission to draw Quill.

Song: Rule #2 - Fish in a Birdcage

Quick little sketch. That song is absolutely beautiful.

Notes: Tobiuo is a 7'2 Fishman, she communicates through sign (Auslan) and body language due to her voice being unable to carry in air (deep sea-folk). Loves music, adores music.

Notes for Quin: I had a look through all of your art to make sure I could translate proportions correctly for Quill. I hope I did your OC some justice, it's hella daunting drawing other's OCs. Wanted to do something different to show my appreciation for the song recs. Thank you, Quin! 🖤

[macaron-jester]

how did you come up with Quill?

I originally drew Quill because I needed a new profile picture! Although Quill as a character is partially based on me as a child, confident, bright, and proud in a way I am learning to be again. I think little me would have loved Quill!

[beebundt]

im busy with an art trade but wanted 2 share some recent scraps of charlie. i haven't posted abt her in years oh my god

Day 34

Being distracted is what got Quill into a pickle in the first place... but uh, they're having a hard time collecting their thoughts at the moment.

(maybe cause there are too many thots in their head currently)

[quinloki]

Art of Quill

Not Quin's art! Comms I've collected of my OC Quill.

In my ever increasing journey to get more comfy with my OC and my eventual OC/insert Story project, I've been getting art of Quill.

This is going to be a LONG LONG post cause I'm including art and tagging who I can tag.

Most of said art is by @yamiyamiart and as delightful as it is, it's not something I can post to tumblr XD

But I can share the Rayleigh x Quill one since it's merely suggestive xD 😇❤️ (And a Kid x Quill that I am pretty sure was the first thing I comm'd from Yami when I was still hesitant to throw my smutty ideas at someone)

Today I go an adorable piece by @aholepeach (who is that on bluesky and a_hole_peach on Twit). He pulled me in with his comics, and I love the kind of grimy soft vibe of his art.

(It's beautiful and skrunky - it has a weight to it that's present both in the body and the emotions, and I just really love it.)

Just look at it \o/ ❤️

@magnuspool also helped me out back before I even knew Quill was going to be named Quill. I had naught to give this art goddess by a handful of words and a very very smol idea.

I love everything about Mags, and the amount of nervousness I had approaching her for art would probably surprise a lot of you. She's super cool though, and a delight to work with. If you catch her comms open, don't be shy!

Polizon from twitter did a really great job with the composition on the request I had - aside from some direction on Quill I didn't provide any other references ^_^

I just love that they're both very much capable fighters AND researchers. (What can I say, Fullmetal Alchemist was one of my first absolute favorite animes and you have to train the body AND mind.)

Last, but by no means least, is @stevienix - who took a waist up Pic crew for reference and gave me a nice full body for Quill ^_^ (I cannot overstate how much I need those boots in my life.)

She's an IRL friend, we've broke bread together so show her some love, and be nice while you're there too.

@mew-ya was the first person to draw me Boy Mode Quill, and gods I love how it came out

@sylarcookie drew my OC Quill and did an AMAZING job - you should check her out, I love her style and how soft and warm all her work is.

add the birthday arts!

From @cebwrites Quill and Kirin sharing a drink and trading tales

@macbethsymphony who drew these amazing pieces - I love the smooch, but I really love the gender ambiguity of the pieces

@leftsidebonfire who drew her OC Unaek having a cute moment with Quill \o/

apropos of nothing, I made Tape-E

Who is Tape-E?

During one of the TMA livestreams (trying to remember which one), a fan question was asked ‘Is there a mascot (for the Archives or the show itself not sure)?’ One of the team suggested ‘Tape-y?’, to which everyone else responded with ‘Oh no!!’. So I thought, oh yes! So yeah, this is your fault 😘

What is Tape-E?

As Mr Bonzo is a parody of Mr Blobby, Tape-E is a parody of Clippy (these last two names rhyme).

Who is Clippy?

Clippy was a microsoft office assistant, introduced in 1997. He was a little virtual paperclip (officially called Clippit, but that name never caught on) who sat on the bottom right corner of the page, and was programmed to give advice in popup speech bubbles when certain actions were taken. For example, if you wrote out an address and ‘Dear’, Clippy would say ‘Looks like you’re writing a letter. Would you like help?’. The name Tape-E in the livestream seemed to be referring to Clippy, as there are many similarities in the behaviour of Clippy, and the actual tapes/ tape recorders in-universe:

always on by default

appears at inconvenient times

provides help you do not want

hated by (mostly) everyone

watching you with cold dead eyes

enjoyed by nostalgia and retro seekers

Why make Tape-E?

As I am of the same generation as some of the RQ peeps, I unironically loved Clippy and Mr Blobby as a child, and it gives me great joy to imagine, in the TMP universe, Sam getting a little pop up: ‘Looks like you’re trying to code a case file! Would you like some help with that?’ In our world this would be impossible - Windows NT (as the official name) was dropped in 1996, one year before Clippy was born, BUT there is voice recording on TMP’s ancient computers, so it’s not totally impossible! 😅😁

What are cassette tapes?

Just a little recap for those who didn’t grow up with tapes: Cassette Tapes contain information embedded in magnetic tape, wrapped around one spool and attached to a second spool. When played, the spools are turned by the machine and the magnetic tape is wound onto the other spool, the information read out through speakers as the magnetic tape moves through sensors. As the magnetic tape can contain different information depending on the direction of tape movement, you can flip the cassette tape over in the machine, and play the tape again, hearing another load of information. This concept is never utilised in the show, but it does mean that cassette tapes have A-sides, and B-sides (as Vinyl records do). Here, of course, this stands for Archivist-side, and Brutalpipemurder-side. On occasion, the magnetic tapes would become damaged, or bent, and could be pushed out of the cassette, causing a horrible noise, and terror to small children who were only trying to listen to their Just William tapes. When this happened, a pencil (or in my case, my little finger) could be jammed into the spiky spool ‘teeth’, to rewind the magnetic tape back into the cassette. Maybe that’s why the eyes are red? 🩸 I am very glad that the TMA tapes are magic, and record endlessly, never need flipping, and never get chewed up by the hungry machine.

Why is the name Tape-E?

Canon answer: the name stands for Tape-Eyes. Possibly Tape-Entity? Undecided.

Actual answer: Tape-y, Tapey and Tapie spellings look weird to me. I think Tape-E looks best.

Why a tape and not a tape recorder?

if you can crochet a tape recorder, you’re a genius and I love you.

What gender is Tape-E?

I might refer to Tape-E as male sometimes because that’s how people often referred to Clippy. But Tape-E is whatever gender Tape-E feels like being.

Why now?

Why not? also now is a good time because TMP episode 15 is an excellent episode

What’s going to happen to Tape-E?

I’m going to gift it to Jonny sometime, if we get more liveshows or book signings. It’s his fault this exists after all. Plus you can write whatever you like in the speech bubbles! Hopefully I can give it calmly? But maybe Tape-E will be yeeted in his general direction in a fit of ADHD-fuelled social anxiety. Only time will tell.

Tape-E is a pattern and design created entirely by myself. The inspiration and world building from whence it came, is entirely the genius of @jonnywaistcoat Jonny Sims, Rusty Quill @rqbossman and The Magnus Archives, which is a podcast distributed by Rusty Quill and licensed under a creative commons attribution, non-commercial share alike 4.0 international license.

Clippy was invented by Microsoft and Kevan Atteberry, who now illustrates children’s books.

Mr Blobby is an adorable abomination, created from a fevered mind.
