Hey hey! For the art game, would you do F1 with Loid/Yor?

ANYA! How dare you, they are obviously just being a totally normal arranged couple that are NOT IN LOVE—

Some people already asked ones I was curious about hahaha but one that caught my eye was Bell the Cat - what's that one about?

This one's my Ladyblanc Knight AU that I've been working with on and off for a while now.

Ladybug is the champion and sworn protector of the kingdom and has defended its people from the tyrant Hawk Moth and his akumas. That is until Hawk Moth is apparently slain by his own knight captain and champion, Chat Blanc. But even with Hawk Moth gone and Chat Blanc captured and on death's row, akumas are still running rampant.

Ladybug believes that someone has taken Hawk Moth's place, but with little to go on she needs help to end this reign of terror once and for all. So Ladybug invokes the heroic reward promised to her by the kingdom. Instead of choosing a place in the royal guard or wealth or an estate, she choses custody of Chat Blanc. As dangerous as he is, he's the only one who might be able to help her.

Ladybug looked at the murky reflection in her drink. Lies and deceit did little when one was chasing ghosts. Only the truth could put things to rest.

“So he was finally captured then,” she said, still staring into her cup. “And he’s now here in the city.”

Rena leaned back in her chair with a scoff. “‘Captured’ is an exaggeration. From what I’ve found, he gave himself up willingly. After bathing in the blood of his victims, of course. Though I think that last part might also be an exaggeration.”

“It does sound a little extreme.”

“Well, he managed to level an entire wing of Hawk Moth’s castle. Though that could be considered gentle in comparison to what he did to Hawk Moth himself.”

Ladybug set down her drink. Her eyes fixated on an uneven knot in the wooden table before her as she frowned.

She’d heard the horror story of what Raincomprix’s group had found. What had started as a scouting mission had turned to a bizarre nightmare. Almost a third of a castle reduced to cinders and its owner torn to shreds beyond recognition.

“Chat Blanc…” Ladybug murmured. “He really killed his master, didn’t he?”

Rena’s brow furrowed. “It would appear Hawk Moth’s most loyal knight wasn't all that loyal after all. If it had been under normal circumstances, his killer might have been hailed a hero.”

“Normal circumstances?”

“You know, if Chat Blanc wasn’t a merciless monster.” Ladybug hummed in agreement. Even if Hawk Moth had been a villain and a tyrant, Chat Blanc had been an extension of - no - had been the main driving force of enabling that. Of the few that survived encounters with him, everyone was in agreement. Chat Blanc wasn’t human. He was a demon.

I gotta say I am curious about the "Akuma tropes" one from the WIP game - what's that about?

Hm...I think this one is best answered with a snippet. 👀

“I don’t think we have much time,” she said. “Did you manage to figure out what the Akuma’s powers are? I’m sort of stumped.” “No. I was trying to figure it out, but…actually, wait a second.” He suddenly remember where he’d last seen the Akuma’s particular colour scheme—on his phone that morning. On Ao3. “I think the beams inflict different tropes onto people.” “Tropes?”  “Yeah, you know.” He thought back to the things he’d seen. “Like accidental baby acquisition, body swap, tattoo and florist AU…” Chat’s cheeks heated up when Ladybug showed no sign of recognition. It was easy to not keep up the same guards with her as he did many people in his life. Sure, there were things he couldn’t tell her, but he compensated by sharing the aspects of his life he wasn’t sure his other friends would truly understand—like just how far his anime obsession went. So now he’d forgotten momentarily that not everyone was familiar with fanfiction. And it wasn’t like he thought she would judge him, but…he definitely wouldn’t tell her about the one time he’d gotten curious about Ladynoir fanfiction. (That had turned out to be a mistake, anyways. Reading about himself like that was far too weird.) “From fanfiction,” he clarified in a small voice. He rubbed the the back of his neck as he waited for Ladybug to respond. “Huh,” she said after what felt like an eternity. “Not sure what I was expecting, but not that.” She shrugged. “At least it won’t be dangerous.” Chat felt his blood run cold. Because Oh, she could be so wrong about that. “Exactly how much fanfiction have you read, M’lady?” “Not much, why?” Why? Thoughts of whump and major character death flashed through his mind. Maybe he should warn her about that, but… “No reason,” he said instead. They probably didn’t have time for him to explain, he justified.

Anyways, ladynoir gets hit with there was only one bed

Thanks for the ask!! 💜

He immediately fled from the probe's line of sight after seemingly recognizing what it was. - The probe was then brought offline by an unknown assailant; Most likely the creature.

Prompt 320

Lazarus Pits are toxic (read practically acidic) to most realms beings. The keyword being most. There are in fact two beings that are immune. 

The first is those with shadow cores, as their cores are quite literally designed to adapt and mirror the aspects of their surroundings alongside anything that may harm them. And those types of ghosts are already rare, most destabilizing when younger because they think they can adapt to something they can’t handle yet. 

The second thing? Halfas. The Pits heal those close to death but who cling to life, and Halfas? Constantly inbetween life and death, no matter what form they take. So something that would normally burn both the living and dead? Does practically nothing to them. In fact? It heals them. 

So a shadow-cored Halfa searching through the zone for a safe spot for his clone-kids to heal? Well, there’s never been a safer place.

Sinbad ⚔️ A Court of Silver Flames

Finally, she is here! The full illustration in all its piratey glory. The more I think about the parallels between Sinbad & Marina and Nesta & Cassian the more art I want to make of this crossover. Someone said they also resemble Livia and Erik from The Ever King series which I’m glad they brought up. I was seeing them as well when drawing this and almost just switched to it being them instead.

I have already finished piece 2 of this series and y’all have already guessed correctly which characters and what movie I combined in the sneak peek👀👀👀 I have also already sketched out Feysand’s piece and the film I chose for them is unexpected but fits them perfectly in my opinion. 😩👌🏻

I am trying to find more duos to draw …. I’m thinking Rowan & Aelin but the film I’d choose for them I already chose for Feysand….hmmmm. There is much to brainstorm. If y’all have classic childhood film suggestions send me my way 🫶🏻

Actually…. What classic films and their main characters would y’all think Livia/Erik, Jude/Cardan, and Aelin/Rowan would resemble well? I can only think of Treasure Planet, Quest for Camelot, Atlantis, Anastasia….what other iconic underrated animated films are there???
