It’s Monday. Feeling pretty meh. I hate that I literally need to be constantly distracted like it’s so hard to j sit by myself in silence rn. I kept so busy this weekend but I’m so tired now. I wish I had gotten to j do nothing but I’m also glad I didn’t bc I think I would’ve just been sad.
— I had to stop bc I was working lol and wow time rly is like weird. I feel better abt my day already. There are a lot of major changes coming. And it’s really fkn scary. But also very exciting. I’m trying so hard to like j take things as they come bc I struggle so hard with like wanting to feel in control. I’m doing a challenge thing which I’m rly excited about bc I’m really gonna make the effort to stick to my routine/priorities. I’m so determined to do it right bc I know I’m gonna feel so fucking good when it’s over. It’s gonna take a lot of discipline and like sacrifice but it’s what I really need to do rn. I met these two girls that are doing it as well and I’m excited to have people that are going through it w me so that we can hold each other accountable and support one another. I also made a new friend this weekend and she’s rly cool. We’re gonna hang out again on Friday and I’m gonna meet one of her friends too so yeah idk GOOD THINGS r coming. We all rly wanna travel and do more activities together and I’m really excited about it bc I feel like it’s something I’ve been missing from my life. I think I was j feeling really sad bc I miss my dogs and some other crappy things happened that are making me feel so shitty about myself and like I’m so alone but I’m not. The work year is almost over and idk if I’m gonna be working w the district in the summer BUT I’m gonna have my RBT training done by then andddd I will be able to find a job w an aba company so everything’s gonna be ok. And now I have new people in my life. And I have the challenge to look forward to. I will be busy. I will be getting better n stronger n I’ll have better habits and I’m not gonna fall back on things that are not good. That’s what I’m worried abt. /: but I need to just trust that things will be okay bc I’m putting in the work and I deserve good things!!! Yeah!! Ok!! I’m tired bye lol.

Sketch dump! I havent done one of those in a while. These are all from June-July while I was on vacation.
First we have Layal! The delightful Mother of Monsters, aka the Ghost Zone’s most evil mama bear AND my take on a fem!danyal dan! I like to imagine she could pummel Dan into the ground, but that stands true for any and all of my au Dans. Bc i am INCREDIBLY biased.
She mostly lives on her island in the Ghost Zone, taking in monsters of the Infinite Realms of all kind and raising them as her own. Surprisingly enough, she does genuinely love her children. That’s about where her love ends. She stole the minotaur, his name is Asterion.
Then we have Daini-Yel! He’s from an au i’ve never actually talked about on here. He’s literally just Danny for an Epic!-inspired au. He's an unknown entity in the newly released open-adventure, odyssesy-inspired game "Nautilus", and he is not a part of the game's code :). He showed up three months after the game's initial launch, and was discovered during a live when a streamer was on their way to fight a boss much similar to Circe and the streamer accidentally took a detour and found his pathway (of which did not previously exist).
He's very friendly! And offers you, the Captain, a strange liquid with even stranger powers called "Ektolai", in order to help you fight Circe. His whole vibe and creation is literally just the song "Wouldn't You Like" from Epic. If you run into him enough times at the start of the game, you can convince him to join you on your adventure as part of the crew. He's a powerful ally and a very good friend, despite his strange awareness of the world around him...
Oh, but be warned... just like the rest of your companions, your actions have consequences and what you do affects their opinion of you. Daini is no different! Your close allies can quickly become enemies.

Thinking about Elizabeth Woodville as a gothic heroine is making me go insane. She entered the story by overturning existing social structures, provoking both ire and fascination. She married into a dynasty doomed to eat itself alive. She was repeatedly associated with the supernatural, both in terms of love and death. Her life was shaped entirely by uncanny repetitions - two marriages, two widowhoods, two depositions, two flights to sanctuary, two ultimate reclamations, all paralleling and ricocheting off each other. Her plight after 1483 exposed the true rot at the heart of the monarchy - the trappings of royalty pulled away to reveal nothing, a never-ending cycle of betrayal and war, the price of power being the (literal) blood of children. She lived past the end of her family name, she lived past the end of her myth. She ended her life in a deeply anomalous position, half-in and half-out of royal society. She was both a haunting tragedy and the ultimate survivor who was finally free.

Some Venus ideas
seriously debating on adding Venus to FW so here's some early designs. (like i'm not sure i'll keep the eyebrow marks, they look kinda funky at times). Mostly b/c them having another sister would be adorable. And it would piss Draxum off, which would be hilarious (for reasons i'll explain.)
some more about her under the cut. But it's mostly just random brainstorming i did at 3am
18 yo (3 years older than Raph)
Mutated Ornate Wood Turtle (using some of Lou's DNA.) (so no spider traits.)
Technically their Half sister since Big Mama's not her mother. (not that that will stop Mama from mothering her. She'd get her own room in the hotel and everything : ) )
Was mutated 'first' to test the mutagen.
She was 5 when the boys were mutated.
Venus got misplaced during resulting explosion. eventually found and taken in by the Library Bats. Which is exactly what pisses off Draxum b/c he knows exactly where she is but the bats refuse to give her back to him lol. And no one messes with the bats. (he's got thrown into the kiddy room several times for trying lol)
she's very quiet, shy, and very anxious about and unsure how to socialize with people in general. (✨social anxiety✨)
I don't think she's much of a fighter. like at all. Pretty sure the only way she would fight would be mystics (ie standing in the back taking magic missile esc pot shots wizard style.) she might actually be more of a pacifist than anything. I'm getting the feeling that she wants little to do with fighting or violence personally. Like she wouldn't judge her siblings on it, but she doesn't want to participate. (the only exception being that if someone/thing is hurting said siblings. b/c once she's emotionally attached to those kids, anything seriously trying to hurt her siblings do not get the luxury of her just standing by.)
that's about it.
and a meme about how thoroughly this au is going off track.
