Styles: The documentary (Harry Styles Fic)

General Masterlist

Summary: A documentary is being filmed about Harry’s life, and as his fiancée, you’re interviewed to share your perspective. Reflecting on how you met, your first date, and the special moments that brought you closer, you open up about your relationship and the journey you’ve taken together.

A/n: Hello my loves, this is something i've wanted to finish and now i had the chance! it's just fluffly moments, i hope you like it! i'd love to make even more moments around this, let me know if you'd like that too

Word count: 1.9k

Warnings: it jumps from past to present many times so i tried my best to make it clear!

“Is it on right now?” You fixed your hair one more time, sitting up straight on the stool. In front of you was a big camera, a large light to your left pointing directly at you, and crew bustling all over the recording studio.

“Yes, now rolling,” said Drew, the cameraman who had been following you and Harry everywhere lately.

“So…” You chuckled nervously. It was the first day of filming Harry’s documentary. As his long-time girlfriend and newly fiancée, you were obviously a part of it. Today, they were shooting a series of interviews, starting with yours.

“How did you meet Harry?” Drew asked, smiling kindly. Out of everyone on the crew, he had the best knack for making people feel at ease, which was crucial for getting personal stories on camera.

“Oh… that’s a good one,” you said, smiling as your mind wandered back, recalling every detail.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

FLASHBACK

“I’m here for an interview,” you said to the receptionist, a nice woman seated at the front desk of a towering building.

“Company?” she asked, typing something into her computer.

“Pleasing,” you replied confidently. Somehow, one of your favorite brands had noticed you. Your portfolio had managed to shine among the sea of other creative directors. You weren’t actively searching for a new job, but when the email popped up in your inbox, you thought it was spam—or maybe a prank. But no, it was as real as Harry Lambert himself, the co-creative director of Pleasing. You had needed two full cups of coffee just to process how to respond.

“Third floor. You’ll need to wear this visibly.” She handed you a lanyard with a visitor badge.

...

“Y/N Y/L/N!” a cheerful voice called from inside a large, boldly decorated office. Taking a deep breath, you stepped inside.

You’ve got this. You’ve got this.

“Please, sit,” said Lambert, gesturing toward a chair in front of his desk, which was cluttered with photos, papers, and scattered sketches. The room smelled of vanilla and cloves, matching the warm, colorful furniture.

“Thank you,” you replied shyly as you took your seat. Normally, in your position at your job, you felt powerful, commanding respect and creativity daily. But now, in this space, you felt… small.

“Thank you for taking the time to come,” Lambert said warmly.

He’s thanking me?

“We don’t usually hire for such a high position, but I’m stepping away to focus on a personal project, and H is already stretched too thin. So, this isn’t really an interview; it’s an offer—and a chance to get to know you.”

You blinked, a bit stunned. Shaking yourself out of it, you managed to reply, “Yes, of course. I completely understand. But… can I ask? How did you find me?”

“Your boss is an old friend of mine. He talks endlessly about your talent, and, well… I’m stealing you from him,” Lambert said with a grin.

“Oh… yeah… I mean, Mark is great, and I’ve loved my time there. But Pleasing? It’s like a creative playground for me. Honestly, I’m honored.”

Lambert smiled knowingly and launched into an explanation of the job—the highs, the challenges, your responsibilities, the budget. You hadn’t even officially said yes, but he was already discussing deadlines and brainstorming future campaigns. It was overwhelming, but you were exhilarated. Somehow, in the middle of all this, your dream job had landed in your lap.

One Month In

“Y/N, they need you in the meeting room,” your assistant, Faye, called as you inspected samples—16 shades of pink, to be exact.

“Who’s ‘they’?” you asked, still scanning the swatches.

“H and Lambert,” she replied in her usual high-pitched tone.

“Sure, I’ll be right… wait, who’s H?” you asked, eyes widening. Could H be who you thought it was?

She just nodded, and you grabbed your iPad, practically sprinting to the meeting room. You paused at the door for a quick breath before stepping inside. “Good morning…”

And there he was—H.

He immediately stood and approached you with a warm, genuine smile. “It’s so good to finally meet you,” he said in his low, raspy voice, shaking your hand firmly.

“The feeling’s mutual. I was starting to think Lambert’s ‘H’ was an imaginary friend,” you joked nervously.

Harry chuckled. “Sorry I haven’t been around much. I’ve been in Italy for a while, but I’ll be in London for the next couple of months.”

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Two months later, we kissed for the first time in Lambert’s office. Sorry, Lambert, if you’re seeing this—I promise it was just a kiss," you said with a shy smile, hoping to win over your boss in case he ever watched this.

"We started texting every day," you continued, leaning into the camera as if sharing a secret. "He used to send me a selfie every morning, and I was just over the moon every time." Your voice softened, a dreamy smile spreading across your face.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

FLASHBACK

You woke up to the familiar ping of your phone. It was 7:30 AM, and Harry’s name lit up your screen with a picture of him holding a cup of coffee and a simple "Morning ☕. Don’t forget the samples today!"

You couldn’t help but grin at the message. How could such a small thing make your entire day brighter? You replied with a selfie of your own—bed hair and all—typing, "Morning! Samples are ready. How’s the coffee?"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Back in the present, you chuckled at the memory. "I don’t know how it happened so quickly, but I fell for him completely. He made even the smallest moments feel like the biggest deal."

"What do you think made Harry fall for you?" Drew asked, his tone genuinely curious.

You hesitated, biting your lip in thought. "I don’t know if it was one thing," you admitted. "But I think it was how we balanced each other out. He’s... larger than life in so many ways, and I think I grounded him."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

FLASHBACK

It was a particularly chaotic afternoon in the studio. Harry had been bouncing between meetings and photo shoots all day, his energy starting to wane. You noticed the way his shoulders slumped as he walked past your desk.

“Hey,” you called out, holding up a cup of tea.

He stopped, looking at you with a mix of surprise and gratitude. “Is that for me?”

“No, it’s for the imaginary friend Lambert keeps talking to,” you teased, handing it over.

Harry chuckled, taking the cup. “You’re a lifesaver.”

“I know,” you replied with a wink, feeling a flicker of pride at the way his expression softened.

First Date

You arrived at Harry’s place with butterflies in your stomach, a small box of macarons in hand. The walk from the bike stand to his house had given you just enough time to psych yourself up, and now you stood outside the door, adjusting your jacket nervously.

The door opened before you could knock. Harry stood there, barefoot and wearing a soft cream sweater with sleeves slightly too long for his arms. His smile was instant and warm. “Hi,” he said, stepping aside to let you in.

“Hi,” you replied, holding out the macarons. “Thought these might go well with dessert or something.”

His eyes lit up. “You brought dessert to a pasta night? You’re already winning me over.”

The house smelled incredible—garlic, fresh basil, and something else warm and inviting. The kitchen was open and bright, with bowls of ingredients scattered across the counter. A pasta machine sat proudly in the middle of it all.

“Is this where the magic happens?” you joked, pointing at the setup.

“Absolutely,” he said, walking over to roll out a piece of dough. “I figured we’d do this part together. Homemade pasta tastes better when it’s a team effort.”

You laughed, slipping off your jacket. “Are you sure you trust me with this?”

He handed you a small rolling pin and an apron. “Only one way to find out.”

For the next hour, the two of you worked side by side. Harry showed you how to feed the dough through the machine, laughing when it got stuck and you both had to wrangle it out together. You took turns sprinkling flour on the counter, and at one point, he smudged a bit on your nose with a cheeky grin.

“Hey!” you protested, trying to retaliate, but he dodged you effortlessly.

By the time the pasta was cut and ready to boil, you were both a little flour-dusted and very much at ease.

Dinner was simple but perfect—pesto pasta with a side of roasted tomatoes and a bottle of wine. You sat at the dining table, which Harry had set with candles and a small vase of wildflowers.

“This is amazing,” you said, twirling your fork in the pasta. “I didn’t think you’d actually be this good.”

He leaned back in his chair, pretending to be offended. “I’ll take that as a compliment, even though I’m choosing to ignore the surprise in your tone.”

You laughed. “No, really. This is... perfect.”

As you reached for the roasted tomatoes, your fork slipped, sending a small drop of sauce onto your light dress.

“Oh no!” you exclaimed, glancing down at the stain. It was right on the front, glaring and impossible to ignore.

Harry froze, looking concerned. “Do you need a napkin? Or—”

But you just waved it off, smiling. “It’s fine. It’s just a dress”

He blinked, then let out a laugh. “You’re sure? must be expensive”

“It's okay" You dabbed at the stain with your napkin half-heartedly and shrugged. “No sense in crying over spilled... sauce.”

He chuckled, shaking his head. “Most people would be freaking out.”

“Well, I guess I’m not most people,” you said playfully. 

For the rest of the night, the stain stayed there, but it didn’t matter. Harry found himself admiring how little you cared about it—how relaxed and unpretentious you were. It wasn’t just refreshing; it was magnetic.

At one point, as the conversation turned to childhood memories, he caught himself thinking: Yeah, I could get used to this.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Back in the present, you smiled at the camera, recalling that night. "That first date was... easy. It felt like I’d known him forever, but also like I was discovering someone entirely new. And he was just so... kind. It’s funny—he was trying to impress me, but really, he didn’t need to do anything at all."

Harry, now sitting across the studio, interrupted with a teasing grin. "I worked hard on that pasta, you know!"

You chuckled and rolled your eyes "He used to tell me that I made him feel calm," you said, your voice growing quieter. "And I think he gave me confidence—like, the real kind that sticks."

Drew leaned back in his chair, looking pleased. "That’s beautiful. Any final words for this session?

You smiled, glancing toward Harry, who was now watching you from across the studio, his headphones hanging around his neck. "Yeah," you said, your tone lighter now. "It’s been a wild ride, but I wouldn’t change a single thing. Except maybe… I’d have said yes to dinner sooner."

From across the room, Harry laughed, his voice carrying over. "I wasn’t that bad, was I?"

You turned back to the camera with a mischievous smile. "Let’s just say persistence pays off." You held up your hand again, showing off the engagement ring, the studio chuckling as Drew called out, "And cut! That’s a wrap for this session"

[l3viat8an]

Ro what about random silly headcanon with the bros? Anything you want to share 👁👁

👀 yessss I have so many silly hcs!!- These are all over the place ‘n not in any real order cuz I’m just typing them out as I go :))

Beel will lay in bed for hours at night just watching those cake decorating videos. he gets so mesmerized by them that he doesn’t notice just how much time has passed and suddenly it’s like 5am.

Satan runs a cat meme page on devilgram and a ‘best cat videos’ deviltube.

On the topic of cat memes, Mammon has a ton saved on his DDD that he’ll spam Satan with whenever Satan’s in a bad mood. Mammon knows they’ll make Satan feel a bit better- or at least laugh.

Lucifer sleeps in until noon or later on sundays. His brothers could literally be burning the house down around him and it just….doesn’t matter. He is NOT getting out of bed until he absolutely has to.

Lucifer was a huge MCR fan and even has a few old t-shirts in the very back of his closet.

Lucifer’s ears turn red when he’s really mad. So do Satan’s but don’t tell him.

Satan like scrapbooking. Occasionally he’ll ask Asmo for pictures of everyone (even Lucifer) to add to his scrapbooks, especially after big events because Asmo always has the best picture of everybody having fun!! Asmo’s the only one that knows about this and he thinks it’s adorable to see more of Satan’s ‘soft side’.

Belphie sleeps with one sock on because his feet gets cold, but both socks on make him feel too hot- it’s weird I know- but one sock is perfect for him.

Belphie HATES cold showers, like if there isn’t enough hot water for him to rise off he’ll just get out with soap still in his hair.

Levi is actually a REALLY good driver!!- but other cars on the road and traffic in general terrifies him so he never drives. (unless it’s an emergency.)

Asmo loves sketching landscape / flowers and has a couple sketchbooks full of amazingggg sketches!! But he doesn’t think they’re any good, so he keeps it a secret.

Asmo collets candles.

Levi once lost a bet to Mammon and had to wear his Ruri-Chan cosplay to RAD. (which really backfired because everybody LOVED IT and Levi was the most popular demon at RAD for a day.)

Belphie is lactose intolerant.

Mammon is insanely good at Uno, he once went undefeated for 7 months then Lucifer beat him in 4 turns. LMAOOO

Levi can’t pose for pictures to save his life, his default pose is that NPC stance with his arms just hanging down and his eyes wide in surprise. It looks like you’re holding him at gunpoint. don’t ask him to smile either because that just looks worse….

Beel doesn’t really understand personal space- so he’s always standing just a little too close when he’s talking to somebody. (most people think he’s trying to be intimidating, but he’s really not.)

‘n uhhhhh that’s all for now XD

[insert-clever-username-1133]

you guys like lists? good bc that's all ive got for you

~

stuff i do

art

i draw in ibis paint on my phone with a disc stylus and use capcut to edit animatics. most of my stuff is tagged with either #art or #doodles, rarely both. doodles is my old tag for sketches and... well, doodles. i put everything under the art tag now

writing

i have one published fic right now with another multi chapter on the way and some one shots im going to get to eventually! i update my main fic every Wednesday when I'm not on hiatus. im little1133 on ao3

music

if you have perfect pitch talk to me please i need someone who understands the feeling when you get a song stuck in your head and you can't remember what key it's in but all the keys you picture it in sound wrong so now it's in your head but it sounds WRONG

fandoms

epic has had a huge effect on my life, gotten me back into drawing and writing :) im always down to yap about the babies or read your fic or whatever

heathers (the musical, haven't seen the movie)

ohh man i love this musical so much. literally every aspect about it I could talk about for days I swear. jdronica is never leaving my head they're so toxic i love them. mcsawyer is adorbs, this is the fandom that definitively has turned me into a multi shipper. i listen to freeze your brain so much I've gotten tired of it

epic the musical

i love odypen so so much. also i heard someone use the ship name penelody and that's the prettiest ship name ive ever heard i think. platonic eurypoli is also one of my favs. im a eurylochus defender for life

if you follow me you are big time signing up for epic spam

kotlc

this is my longest-term fandom i think. i love this little fandom so much!! Katie (@ myfairkatiecat , very cool user) got me into it last summer (i know, not very long term for my longest term fandom. im young okay). im a keefe defender (sorry stria) and i love fintan pyren a normal amount. fav ships are sokeefe, dexiana, and fintante! i am a sucker for platonic sophitz. they go well together what can i say

iywalirayhtdwa > wiityispb

percy jackson / riordanverse

i love love love this series so much. leo is my baby. percabeth should be called smartwater for ever and ever. i don't participate in this fandom because i learned my lesson from kotlc about joining the fandom before you're done reading and ive already gotten spoiled enough just from random youtube comments. am i really going to abstain from this fandom until ive read all however many series there are? probably not

greek mythology in general

yeah... right above this is percy jackson and epic the musical. you knew this was coming. im rapidly turning into the greek mythology kid. it's bad.

hadestown

i listened to the soundtrack with animatics a bit ago and im planning on watching a recording of the actual show. this musical has already. made me. FEEL THINGS. A LOT. doubt comes in absolutely broke me which im sure isn't a surprise to anyone who's seen hadestown. just like in epic Hermes is a whole vibe and a half. living it up on top, chant, and why we build the wall have alternated being played on loop in my brain. this musical is literally so.

dnd

im currently playing in a dnd campaign (#ivanna) as an elven wizard named Ivanna and in the late planning stages of dming a campaign (#crossfire campaign) for me and my friends. im unwell about both of these things

mouthwashing

i... don't have much to say about this fandom. im not very active in it. love the fanart. love daisuke and anya ofc. we be taking responsibility with this one

elnea kingdom

i don't really post about this game on here because the fandom is mainly on Reddit. this is here purely for propaganda. look up this game and play it. you know you want toooo ohh you wanna play it soooo baaaad

posts i want you to see

too lazy to do this list rn. im gonna link the seaglass vacker eyes post, the Ody is the short one in odypen, and some of my top posts later

tags ig

#art - self explanatory.

#bookmark - things I'm saving to refer back to later.

#liveblog - ive been doing this less lately but it's always a tradition for me to do at least a few liveblogs whenever im consuming a new media. i love this tag because it contains my magnum opus: my huge reblog chains with every little thought i had while reading kotlc. all of them have like 40 self reblogs to just add to them. there's a chain for each book, and i did it for the first like 5 or 6 books. i highly recommend looking at those they're very funny.

userboxes + other

i don't have a dni. if i don't like you ill block you

im not donating to your gofundme

my interests are subject to change on a whim with zero warning

[theworldreturning]

Intro Post

Hello! I'm participating in @pkmoth's askapalooza event! So here's just some general stuff to know bout how this blog's gonna go!

Info under the cut!

About The AU:

Nothing too special about this AU, really, I think it's a concept everyone's come up with at some point. It's a post story AU after Mother 3's ending where the world is reformed after Lucas asks the dragon to give the planet and humanity another chance.

As a side effect, a good amount of people have come back and/or changed to be allowed that second chance (mainly those who had some form of regret in the old world). Some folks are very different to allow for this to happen, and as such have changed memories and lives, but most remain unchanged from how they were when the world ended and reformed.

The new world takes place in an alternate post Mother 2 universe, but now the Nowhere Islands exist alongside everything else (Though now on maps and such, they're known as the Dragon's Rest Isles). Due to this timeline change, while the folks from Mother 1 are here, they're older now.

So who can you ask?:

You can ask most anyone important from the games! Though if you want more specific people/groups you have:

Claus, Lucas, and Fuel. Who are currently still living in the Dragon's Rest Isles.

They all retain memories of the previous world, but mostly try to put it behind them. For now they're trying their best to retain some sense of normalcy and get used to how things are going to work in their new life (much like everyone else in New Tazmily).

As a point of note: Due to what physically happened to him in the previous world, Claus may not be fully able to answer some questions (may be beyond his scope of vocabulary, or too difficult to understand). In those cases, Fuel or Lucas will probably answer for him. ( Yes, Claus is still a chimera. Yes this affects his behavior.)

The Chosen 4 from Mother 2 (plus Pokey and Picky). Back at home after their journey.

Though the chosen 4 went their separate ways after their journey, they're still good friends and come to visit often. Also due to the world being given a second chance, Pokey is back to being Ness' neighbor, but this time has accepted friendship (mostly, he's still a bit of a prickly kid.)

As a huge note: While the chosen 4 remember the previous world, Pokey and his family DO NOT. Their memories are rewritten to have allowed for Pokey to get a second chance! (Their behaviors are still similar to the previous world though.)

Ninten (And the main party of Mother 1). Now grown up and living their lives in relative peace.

This cast is grown up now (they're in their 20s, minus teddy who is in his late 30s early 40s). While we'll mostly only see Ninten around, the others can answer asks! Also due to proximity (since he moved), Ninten and his cousin Ness can also answer some things together from time to time!

General Asking Rules:

For the most part, at least for now, the casts from the game are mostly separate. The only exceptions are the M1 and M2 casts, who either visit often or are in close enough proximity that they're semi-aware of each other. They'll all meet eventually (at least that's my hope), but for now they remain separate.

No NSFW asks, of course. Most of the casts are still minors. I'll also apply no shipping asks into this. It's not a main thing I wish to focus on, any ships that happen are just there and not the biggest focus.

Don't spam the same asks, it'll just lead me to not answering them. (This doesn't apply if you happen to ask the same question as someone else! If enough people ask the same thing, it may eventually make it to an OOC FAQ post!)

I will TRY to answer with at least a black and white sketch, but I am a working man, so my time is sometimes quite limited. I apologize in advanced.

Due to the above, I may also take a bit to answer some questions! Please do be patient, I will try my best to answer them all!

I will also answer RP-type asks, but they may remain short or more spread out in between normal asks as I'm not the best at roleplaying.

You can be mean to characters, but don't push it too far!! If you sent an ask that I found overly aggressive and you never see it answer, assume it was a bit too far.

Lastly, What About The Future of This Blog?:

If I have fun manning this blog through the month, and people still seem decently interested, I may continue it past the askapalooza! But that all depends on the future, so don't hold me to it! Just know that whatever the decision, I will have appreciated everyone taking the time to just look or even interact with these guys!

[the-canine-king]

anyways, since i'm reposting old art on my bsky to pad it out a bit more, i'm going to be reblogging old art on here (both finished and sketches/ doodles) so, sorry for the spam!

[ask-but-beware-the-consequences]

UPDATES

Offtopic comission in progress, please wait

I'm giving up dates

I closed asks temporarily because I'm getting only, and too much "save my ass" spam letters in my inbox. Thank you for understanding. Please use comment section under posts until I reenable it.

Most of you know as of lately I make Metalocalypse fanarts, whenever school and work lets me. But I always wanted to make those lineart colorbook pages, that you can color for yourself,

So I'm inviting you over here to my soupcan: https://www.patreon.com/george_etele on patreon where I continue to cook, so you can print/save and color the linearts (with proper credit in case of sharing). Whether for your own enjoyment or to practice your coloring skills ^^!

I'll continue posting here the finished artworks and early accesses, which are just a bit different from the patreon's early access versions (full picture, no cropping).

But there will be benefits like seeing some projects that I do not post here on tumblr due to their uncertainty of me ever finishing them. Until they are done.

So with that I really mean to say that my patreon site is only for those of you who would like to support me financially, so I can keep making fanarts (hopefully with better quality and better supplies as time goes).

This way noone would miss out on anything, well except for the NSFWs if I decide to reconstruct those paper sketches. But that's not for certain either atm.

If you want to see my old fanarts, you can find them in the fanarts tier too, and here you can click on the category tag, I added them to each and every one of them.

If you only want to see the finished pieces, click on the tags that have the word 'artwork' in them! ^^

[xxf0rg0tt3n-b3st14xx]

Welcome to the wet, endless caverns underneath the forgotten world.

My name here is Rich(ie/ard) / Bass ><> / Lev But, if you know me by another name, you could use those too. [I collect names that I like and connect with] A 21-year-old queer butch man with the pronouns (He/They/It).

I do art [usually post things that I don't feel fits on others or just sketches] Mainly here to ramble about meanless stuff. Great liking to horror and the macabre, with a conflict between wanting to be sweet or to be the most heinous thing alive. In short, this blog contains my vents, art, and weird/dark stuff, you've been warned.

More about me, I'm nonhuman and would like to be not referred as such. The closet label I got is otherkin for what my nature of my nonhuman-ness. My main kin is the Leviathan, those I do flip back and forth if I am The Leviathan or A Leviathan. It really stems from this life I'm in, I was at lest from what I feel and think was supposed to be a rabbit. My other two past live I know distantly was a woman in a war of some short and, Aurochs bull my first life I remembered and a turning point to where I am.

In that same note, I'm a spiritualist with no real label that does not follow a god or devil, just a connection to the earth and respect to the universe. Though with that I do talk about religion I don't have the greatest relationship with, it complected...

Other tags I use a lot is Lev.txt [for me talking], .bmp well... for art, [❤️‍🩹] for blood. my kin tag is [♠️🐇], Afton [🐇✨]. angels [🪶] , golden-hare, It really just a tag for myself about feelings, more might be added in the future.

Old tags from my past blog if you want to go through them.

"Doc Ock"[💕], Lev.txt, Lev.art, [❤️‍🩹],

DNI

I'm keeping this short and sweet no demonizing mental illness nor sexualizing it, none of this empath shit, ED or related, not sexual age regression, ddlg, well for cnc it's mostly always a no but, there's a thin line I will allow. There is the obvious stuff like terfs, ablists, any form of needless hate. This list here is just my comfort and keep out questionable people. Though it's all a case by case basis I'm not afraid to block if I don't like you on my blog and don't care if you block me, I much prefer that if you don't like what is here.

Other things are that I don’t care if you like/reblog spam, I do the same at times. If you want to talk or want to ask a question to me, I’m open to that, though it might take a bit to get an answer.

Okay, I'm just going on hiatus on here until things let up or something real good happens.

It might be a few weeks to a few months. I won't say a set day.

Well, with how things are going with my county along with school and the homework that comes with it, and then trying to keep myself from rotting in bed has me in an unstable state right now. So I'm going to leave for a bit here.

For now on, till I say otherwise, will just be queued stuff.

Something I'm excited about with regards to finishing fight / flight is that now I can finally post a new batch of images to Pixiv! Not just fight / flight, but also other illustrations I finished over the period of time and/or forgot to previously post to the North Bound series there. I really wanted to do one last illustration of these three to close it off. 

I usually wait a day, several days before posting art/comics to other platforms. Partly to spread out the update spam, partly to try to increase visibility, but mostly because 9 times out of 10 if I post things too fast I almost immediately discover some silly mistakes and then I'm crying inside because I'm repeatedly editing, reposting, finding another mistake, repeat etc... and/or I can't edit a post on some platforms and have to delete it all and start over. So I try to pace myself a bit, giving myself a little distance and opportunity to be more aware and mindful. (Sometimes it works. Sometimes I'm like, who cares, no one will notice except me, and move on with my life.)

It's always hard to assess your own work objectively. Projects like North Bound are particularly interesting because of the funny elasticity of time that you have with all the different pieces of it. That some ideas are so old and you're finally getting to them after all these months/years or other people are finally seeing them when you've already long moved on to something else. That different things are at varying stages of conception and sketching and refining and finishing, and so on. Webcomic creators are very familiar with the concept of "webcomic time". I think anyone who works in a field where there's a lag between the initial conceptualization of something and the actual publishing/launching it out into the world know what I mean. Webcomic time maybe even more so because the barriers to entry for webcomics can be wonderfully low and webcomic creators often do SO MUCH in the production so lots of people get to commiserate in this funny space/feeling together. To be honest I think I feel it with North Bound even more than I ever felt it with Now Recharging. The latter I worked on in a relatively regular fashion to hit specific posting schedules, while North Bound really is whenever I can squeeze in the time and motivation and also problem-solve narrative issues.

Looking back, Mirror Most Dark (completed 2017), I Heard A Cicada Cry (completed 2020), Survive (2021) and fight / flight (2024) (see them all here) form a four story set as "this is North Bound Hokushin's formative time before he meets Raizen". But what I really like is that they feel pretty self-contained - more like "this is an interesting little supernatural historical fiction-y series of stories". (Enough so that I actually woke up one night thinking, "Hey, this set of stories would actually make a pretty robust printed book! The 3 comic stories alone come to 108 pages! I wonder how many pages Mirror Most Dark would come to if I re-laid it out as a printed illustrated story... I'd have to redraw the illustrations in black and white to be able to print it more cost-effectively and match the style of the comic stories..." and then I was like no, you already have enough things to work on, and you don't need another box of books sitting in your closet for the next 10+ years.)

Working on these helps me really appreciate the art and craft of storytelling and building out/fleshing out a character, and also pushes me to try so many things I otherwise wouldn't have the opportunity to. Mirror Most Dark, the oldest work in this group, still holds up not too badly (though there are a lot of errors and issues, and many things I would change if I were attempting it today...), and some panels and sequences I've been very proud of throughout the stories. When I reread them I do always see little things I'd like to fix, but overall... I made them, I learned from them, they exist, and it was all a very worthwhile experience!

It is officially Real Cryptid Hours™

Aka just a small collection of my cryptid au characters from various fandoms :)

First, the one that started it all, Cryptid Omens (originally made 2-3 years ago)

Sketches: old, colors: new

I love them. Aziraphale's design improved quite a bit.

.

Then, my absolutely beloveds, SCC cryptids (+ Spamton cause he's such a creature)

Two above: older, two below: most recent

Only found sketches for Spam. Smh my head can't believe i haven't drawn him properly even once before now

.

And lastly, my most recent addition, Cryptid Narrator

Left: first concept, right: most recent

Why does he look less and less like a creature every time i draw him? Idk, maybe Stanley's domesticating him

.

And now i need to draw them all hanging out

[liauditore]

Your art style to me has a main identifier of like, feeling sketchy while fully coloured. It's like the lines. Sorry this is a bit late it took me a bit fully analyze.

don't apologise theres no such thing as late!! i love getting asks u could send me asks for ask games from like eight months ago and i'd still answer probs lol (honestly just send me asks for any reason at any time it's like enrichment to me)

thanku!! *whispers* its cus i hate lineart. which is also a problem cus i like how it looks 😔😔

for a long time i struggled w/ whether i wanted to do super clean animation-style stuff or full-on paintings which u can see here. i think i talked abt this a bit on my spam blog but basically i had an eureka moment where i realised i was sacrificing my enjoyment in the drawing process for an imaginary ideal goal and was kinda making myself miserable while drawing which meant i spent less time on each drawing which meant they always turned out subpar to my standards. so i kinda explored for awhile and i think ive landed on something that customizes my process to something my brain and eyes both approve of.

i think im slowly inching towards getting a bit more cleaner but a mate and i were talking the other day abt how drawings that uh.. look like drawings have a certain appeal yanno? like when u watch old cartoons and can see the pencil sketch lines. there's something charming abt it.

uh yeah idk where i was going w/ this lol. colouring sketches makes me happy 👍 brain go brr brr pretty colours 👍👍 no line weight club represent

SEND ME 🤍 + A SHIP AND I’LL TELL YOU…     [   VOL. 3   ] - Aedus and Reese

@brittlefcrged

Who cooks meals for the other? : Aedus definitely does the cooking, mostly because it's a love language of his to cook for his loved ones. And he'd spoil her with anything she wants. He'll spend as many hours as necessary in the kitchen.

Who spams the other with memes?  : Aedus doesn't know what a meme is... So, Reese probably shows him some every so often. And has to explain them to him.

Who likes to tidy around the house? : Aedus tends to stress clean quite a bit, so gonna say him.

Who likes to play pranks on the other? : Reese, but gonna say it's probably pretty small ones

Who asked the other to move in with them? : Aedus.

Who is in charge of the music during a car ride? : Reese. Because Aedus doesn't think she'd want to listen to nothing but jazz and old classical music... so she gets to pick

Who is more likely to tickle the other mercilessly? : I don't think either really would?

Who needs to hold the other during scary movies? : Again, not really either?

Who has to help the other when it comes to technology? : Reese... this guy barely knows how to use a flip-phone.

Who likes to get a bit frisky in public / an inappropriate setting? : Reese.

Who wakes up first, and do they wake up the other or let them rest? : Aedus, because he often doesn't sleep at all, 'cause he doesn't physically need to. Doesn't mean he won't just stay in bed, cuddling with her for hours until she wakes up, though.

Who is always taking pictures of the other when they aren’t looking? : Gonna say Reese... but not necessarily pictures. Idk, i have this really cute image in my head of them just vibing in the living room together, and her sketching him without him noticing

Who always forgets their wallet and never ends up paying for anything? : Reese... but not even needing to forget anything. Aedus just insists on paying bc he's hella rich and wants to spoil her.

Who can’t sleep because the other snores or moves too much at night? : not really applicable

Who is better at video games, and do they let the other win or show no mercy? : Reese.... even her worst would be leagues better than his best. But, he's a good sport and just likes having fun. Doesn't care if he wins or not.

Who always gets up in the middle of the night to use the restroom and accidentally wakes up the other? : not really either? just 'cause Aedus doesn't really sleep, and he would be so, so careful not to wake her up if he had to get up for any reason

This Week In “Time & Again” #24: Well… I’m Sometimes Bad At Naming My Blog Posts 🤷‍♀️ [and a tiny wee bit techy again]

It's high time to make yet another one new blog post with the progress report - but alas, I just keep working and working on everything according to my little list pinned to my desktop, and I am not sure what to report. It's just... steadily going forward. That is all.

Within these few days, I've finished an artwork that will be used as an easter egg on several pages of Chapter 6. As per usual, that will be a reference to an old and fairly famous but somewhat forgotten*-ish* franchise. So keep your eyes open once the chapter is released next year 😉

Mostly, aside from preparing (mentally as well as organization-wise) for GPop Fair quite hyperactively, I'm also steadily working on the cover arts right now. Which is odd. I don't remember myself working on the cover arts PRIOR to working on the chapters themselves. Oh boy, things sure change. Usually before, as a general rule of thumb, I worked on the cover arts last. Chapter 5 was a very good fresh example. Although I have the most cover arts sketched in my sketchbook (usually they have multiple versions sketched, and yet everything is still WIP until I decide on something concept-wise for sure), I usually set to work on them later on as I could see the full pictures of the chapters. Suddenly, I came up with excellent ideas for the cover arts for both Chapter 6.1 and 6.2. And both of them will strongly refer to a famous franchise that bears an incredible importance in the history of development of "Time & Again". More on the matter in detail I will probably write a paragraph for either Collector's Edition of "Time & Again" or in the Behind The Scenes book.

Here's a snyak 🐍 sneak peak (the screenshot has been made during the sketching phase; that is supposed to be a fairly complex art piece, so I needed the sketch this time to make everything extra clean):

Can you recognize the reference? 😉

That cover art is what I've been working on for the last few days. And finally now I'm getting to work on the cover art for Chapter 6.2 that most likely will take me less time says I often before something unexpected happens and it takes, like, quadruple amount of time vs what I anticipated, lol.

Ah! There is something little and neat I'd like to share before I wrap it up for today 🙃 I decided to try out Krita's native video recorder for the first time. I've known about that functionality in Krita before, but, regardless, I've always used my desktop recorder instead, virtually for everything, from taking screenshots of the lulz and fails found randomly across the internet to recording clips from my gaming sessions for... well, little to no purpose, because I decided not to spam my YouTube channel with gaming videos 😅. But, since it's been learning time for me in many ways lately, I decided to give it a try. Maybe it's awesome and I will use it all the time now?! The awesomeness about Krita video recorder is that it's automated (and everybody knows by now how much I love automation, yaaaaaay!): it automatically records the progress once you open the artwork no matter how much time passes in between the drawing sessions. You can start working on a picture, drop it, return to it, say, in a month, and the recording will continue. Awesome!

Here's the screenshot of the export video dialogue:

The settings are pretty self-explanatory. For those familiar with the basics of video editing, there's nothing new. I had to install ffmpeg in order to properly execute the conversion of the video. I had to fiddle with it for a bit before it started working: apparently, the latest version of ffmpeg (7.0.2) does not work in Krita for the reason unknown to me. I tried to resolve it by myself reading the log file left after the failed conversion - but then I stumbled across a Reddit post that talked about the exact same error I was getting, and it turned out that the previous version of ffmpeg (6.1.1.) still works in Krita. And then it assembled me a very nice video.

I have recorded near the whole process of drawing that piece: from the clean lineart to full colouring, AND including trying out an alternative background that I decided to discard in the end. Eventually I will post the timelapse video on my YouTube channel to pretend it's not dead lol. I will slightly edit and speed it up even more first.

One note though: the end of the video has weird moments of flashing white frames. I was aware that things like that might happen. But still, that's a bit odd. I will have to figure out how to deal with that issue... Because I don't want to have to slap an epilepsy warning in the beginning of the video 😱😅

Ok, wait, there's one more thing I wanted to ponder on before bidding farewell for a week (or two, or a month, how it often happens to me, lol). And it's kind of a... dreamy thing, with a twist of nostalgia and an off-beat bitter-sweet Traurigkeit involved.

Last year I was very upset about one thing. Sometime in Summer, in 2023, it was an 18-year-old anniversary of my very first set of original characters - Jade, Stu, and Alan. These three people were and still are very important to me. And of course, some of you still remember the abundance of the artworks featuring those individuals that I used to post frequently on my DeviantArt gallery. And of course, those of you who have read Chapter 2 of "Time & Again" remember the tiny and short - and rather questionable 😅 - cameo of the three on the background in one scene. I wanted to draw a celebratory portrait of the trio as a little gift to them, and to myself (for personal happiness). I even had a perfect idea for a little hilarious artwork with a cake. But then something happened (most likely, Chapter 4 of "Time & Again" happened, but I don't remember for sure anymore without my devlog notes, and they're in the living room, and I'm far too lazy to reach out to get them right now 🤣), and I simply forgot about my idea. I only remembered about it long due, sometime in mid Fall or even closer to Winter. I was very upset with myself. 18 years is A LOT, let me tell you. That's for how long I've lived with these characters, polishing them, growing them, nurturing them with numerous traits; they have been undergoing an enormous amount of changes in their personalities, backgrounds, personal history, etc. In short: everything that every single one of us is going through their lifetime, in the real life. In this respect, Stu, Alan and Jade are not much different from any of us. They're even fully "legal", LOL. It might look to some that they're obsolete - but that is far from the truth. I still have grand plans for them. They will take part in my future art endeavours 😉 The story of Alan, Stu and Jade has been rewritten numerous times - but it is most certainly still not complete. Doing an incredibly simple, possibly pre-school level math, we can easily deduce that in 2025 the three are gonna reach their 20-year-old milestone. And that's a long, long time.

Since I screwed up the little celebration big time in 2023 😫, and 20-year-old is a good milestone as well, I really want to put an effort into drawing a lovely artwork of the three next Summer. That is überimportant. That must happen. Yes, as you can see, Lothar and Jeanny are significantly younger than the dorky trio. Lothar and Jeanny probably think the other three are elderly people, LOL. Well... there's surely something entertaining that has to be portrayed on the milestone artwork next year. I'm looking forward to it 😁

6.5/10

Its hard to journal while still coming down from drinking. This morning I tidied up everything on the floor and vacuumed thoroughly. For breakfast I made the same exact thing as yesterday.

For work I warmed up with more pony sketches. Then I worked on a Venus patreon reward for 2 hours. I was hoping to get it done today but I had to redo it once because I actually had a little bit of a vision for it.

After work I had to take the dogs out and chilled with some youtube videos. For lunch I made stir fry with the new ramen and canned vegetables I got, with a slice of spam. It was a really good lunch. DS was feeling bad about her job situation and instead of trying to say the right thing, I said what was in my heart which was to ask questions almost in a problem solving sort of way. I just wanted to know what was going on and promote awareness. I was afraid I was coming off as a pretend therapist but the best way I know to approach anything is to ask questions. Its better than trying to say the "right" thing which always feels hollow to me. I am what I am.

For afternoon work I joined my server vc and drew a crying cat idea I had based on a song I heard. PZ joined at first which was a shock and we caught up briefly. I also invited DV and JD to join so DV did and PZ left. We talked for a bit about some pretty deep stuff as usual until JD joined. Then DV left and very briefly this girl DS and I met during this old VR painting incident joined. I found out she plays the horse game and she wanted to play it immediately but I needed about 10 minutes. Unfortunately she left joking she wouldn't be back for another few months which might be the truth.

After taking the dogs out again, I played KSP and chilled with JD in a private call. When DS was free I joined her while she worked on her fursuit. We had youtube on the side as usual. After she cleaned up we played Roblox for a couple hours doing the classic event. We managed to get a decent about of tix and it was super duper fun. The best way I coulda spent my night. In bed we did out puzzles and she passed out. I ate dinner and watched Twitch until bed.

Welcome to the wet, endless caverns underneath the forgotten world.

My name here is Bass/Lev But, if you know me by another name, you could use those too. [in a different name for most blogs mood] A 20-year-old queer butch man with the pronouns (He/They/It).

I do art [usually post things that I don't feel fits on others or just sketches] Mainly here to ramble about meanless stuff. Great liking to horror and the macabre, with a conflict between wanting to be sweet or to be the most heinous thing alive. In short, this blog contains my vents, art, and weird/dark stuff, you've been warned.

More about me, I'm nonhuman and would like to be not referred as such. The closet label I got is otherkin for what my nature of my nonhuman-ness. My main kin is the Leviathan, those I do flip back and forth if I am The Leviathan or A Leviathan. It really stems from this life I'm in, I was at lest from what I feel and think was support to be a rabbit. My other two past live I know distantly was a woman in a war of some short and, Aurochs bull my first life I remembered and a turning point to where I am.

In that same note, I'm a spiritualist with no real label that does not follow a god or devil, just a connection to the earth and respect to the universe. Though with that I do talk about religion I don't have the greatest relationship with, it complected...

As my old bio said, Doc Ock and Alfred Molina is a quite sizeable piece of this blog with this tag [💕]. I might get more comfort able and talk about others that I have odd connections to but that rare.

Other tags I use a lot is Lev.txt [for me talking], Lev.art well... for art, ❤️‍🩹 for blood. Might add more, idk.

DNI

I'm keeping this short and sweet no demonizing mental illness nor sexualizing it, none of this empath shit, ED or related, not sexual age regression, ddlg, well for cnc it's mostly always a no but, there's a thin line I will allow. There is the obvious stuff like terfs, ablists, any form of needless hate. This list here is just my comfort and keep out questionable people. Though it's all a case by case basis I'm not afraid to block if I don't like you on my blog and don't care if you block me, I much prefer that if you don't like what is here.

Other things are that I don’t care if you like/reblog spam, I do the same at times. If you want to talk or want to ask a question to me, I’m open to that, though it might take a bit to get an answer.
