strawberry’s and strays🍓 | soft! simon x reader

sweet fluff, unmasked! ghost, domestic things🙃return of tofu the cat!! the og’s remember 💕

imagining you throwing a "work party" for the task force and once everyone leaves, you go to the kitchen to find simon washing the dishes. one light was on, a fixture dangling a few inches above his head, and his rough calloused hands were handling your strawberry-covered dishes with care. you took a few steps towards him; almost afraid you'd scare the gentleness away.

"thank you for doing that," you say softly, putting a hand on his bicep and it flexed immediately under your touch. you smiled at the action and dropped your hand slowly. all simon did was nod, and a course "mm" escaped his throat. he barely looked at you, but when he did, his eyes were careful, scanning your soft skin and red velvet-clad body.

you started to walk away, your heels clacking, and said from across the dining room, "are you allergic to cats, simon?" he almost dropped a dish as you said his name but caught it just in time.

"no," he responded, "i like cats." a slight smile grew on his stubbly face, his dirty blonde hair decorating his forehead perfectly.

you smiled back and opened your bedroom, letting out a white fuzzy cat. you picked her up in your arms and walked back over to simon.

"this is tofu, she's really nice i swear," you said as you closed the distance between you and simon. he dried his hands on the hand towel, and it made your mind explode with domestic thoughts for some reason. he carefully pet the cat's back, rubbing up and down it's fur.

"she is nice." simon said with a huge grin, looking you in the eyes as you said it. you couldn't help but lean into the butterflies erupting in your stomach as he spoke, his liquid voice felt as if it was dripping down your spine. you let tofu down to roam in the kitchen, eating whatever food was left on the cold tile.

once simon was done with the dishes, you asked if he wanted to stay and watch a movie, and he couldn't refuse. you led him to your soft beige couch after changing into your pj's and threw a large blanket over the two of you. halfway through the movie that you had to beg him to sit and watch, his arm slipped around your waist, forcing you to lean back onto his shoulder. his fingers carefully grazed your skin, drawing shapes and squiggly lines. you felt his slow, sleepy breath on your neck, and as the movie credits rolled, you looked up to see his eyes closed, lips parted, and quiet snores exiting his mouth. you smiled to yourself, pulled the covers up against him, and let the soft purrs from tofu and simon lull you into a deep sleep.

Complaining About Fanart

Mwahaha I’ve tricked you this is actually an art appreciation post. But bc I’m in love and look at fanart all the time every day, I’ve noticed 2 main categories of comic! death of the endless fanart which are as follows:

Generic Comic Book Woman With Eyeliner

The other ones

Show!Death does not suffer from no. 1 as much, I imagine bc of the time the show came out? I’m not going to share examples of type one bc I don’t want to shame any artists for my own personal taste but like. You know which ones I’m talking about right? Like you’ve seen It. You Know.

But here are ones I LOVE bc they’re unique/beautiful/she looks a little icky

The official comic art obvs, I feel like her hair would crunch if I touched it

2. Any drawing of her by Chris Bachalo, he always makes her shape language so round and I love that. Huggable. Squishable. 10/10z

3. Taurin Clarke’s style (@ taskforcetuesday) . Look at her expression!!! Her little nose scrunch! She’s feelin mischievous!!!!!

4. Rebecca Puebla , the way the lines r so squiggly. Very good very good.

5. Quite literally anything by Alex Maleev. They just Get It, you know. She looks exhausted and lightly pissed off in all of their art. Perfect.

6. This specific drawing by Ryan Kelly. Idk why but this one just scratches an itch in my brain.

7. Lisa Treiman, she’s feeling mischievous!!!! That’s the number 1 thing I look for!!!! And a little icky! The wings! The expression! Amazing.

8. Kevin Wada, the colors are lovely I just adore how her cheeks r a little pink. N her shirt is so cool!!!!!

9. This one, just such a unique style. I go insane for the pencil sketch vibes.

So in conclusion I think I just like any drawing where she has a facial expression actually. And I’m definitely going to do a part 2 with Show!Death fanart bc there are so many artists who deserve so much love 🙏💕

One of my favorites by Miss Bliss on Twitter :)

EDIT: part 2 :)

And thank yew!!

[giggly-squiggily]

Oouuh Squiggly, you must forgive me as I simply couldn't help myself from your invitation to send for the sentence starters! 💕✨

As they've been on the brain for so long --- "Oh, you have the cutest laugh~" for sacredshipping 🫣

*swoons at sacredshipping* Of my dear friend- you never have to apologize for taking an invitation to the fullest! If anything, I should thank you for giving me the chance to write Morty! I hope you like it!

“Oh, you have the cutest laugh.”

A comment like that- from Morty of all people- would normally raise some eyebrows considering the said man considered even the scariest of ghost pokemon “cute”. 

For Eusine however, it was beyond flustering.

“Oohoho hush! It’s not that cute.” He waved a hand, wiping tears of mirth from his eyes as he looked towards his boyfriend. They were taking a break from their Suicune exhibition when they stumbled upon a herd of Shroomish. The way they scattered upon humans arriving had sent the mystical trainer into a fit of giggles, leading to now. “If anything, it’s rather unseemly.”

That earned him a raised brow from the blonde. There was a beat of silence where he didn’t say anything. The next, Eusine found himself pinned on his back with a yelp, Morty’s eyes flashing.

“Unseemly, my behind.” Fingers creeped up Eusine’s sides, pinching along his ribs and sending little shocks of ticklishness throughout his body. “It’s cute- really cute. I wanna hear more of it.”

“Ahehehehahha! M-Mohohohorty, pleahahhase!” The older of the two tried to block his hands, but Morty was far too quick. “Whahahahit juhuhuhst a mihiihihnute!”

“I’ll give you 30 seconds to plead your case.” Morty paused, waiting. Eusine gasped out a shaky breath.

“Ihiihhi…I siiihmply doohohn’t agree. My lauauagh, it’s uuh-EHEHEH!” He couldn’t finish the last part before Morty’s fingers attacked his belly, going right for the soft spots along it. “THAHHAT WAHAHHASN’T THHHIHIIHRTY SEHEHEHEHCONDS!”

“Your time gets cut short every time you disagree.” Morty smiled, an easy expression filled with warmth. “Just admit your laugh is cute and I’ll stop.”

“BUHUHUHUT IIHIHIHIHT’S NOHOHOHOHOT-EHEHEHEHEH!” Eusine all but squealed when Morty dropped his hands back to his ribs, pressing into the backs. “MOHOOHOHORTY!”

“For someone so ticklish, you’re rather stubborn.” The blonde chuckled, relishing the sound of his boyfriend’s mirth. “Don’t worry- we got all the time in the world.”

Send me a pairing a sentence starter and a pairing and I'll write a 300 word dabble for it!

Idk what your art says about you but you feel like one of the people who started using the pencil brush really early and have barely if ever used anything other than it for line work

That’s so funny because early on when I was making digital art I actually almost exclusively only used clean/smooth linework

I think it wasn’t until I bought procreate that I finally started experimenting with more textured brushes

And even then in the beginning I still stuck to nontextured brushes for a while until I decided to mix it up and try out different brushes

Nowadays I go absolutely bonkers over textured brushes and yes, that pencil/sketch brush you usually see me using is indeed one of my favorites. I often use it for lineart because I like the way it handles when I use it. Strangely enough, that brush comes from a random free brushpack I downloaded

[IMAGE ID: A screenshot of a brush set on Procreate titled “Anime” (The title is not shown within the screenshot). The first brush is called “Sketch Brush💕1” and is circled in red. Written next to it is a note saying “I love this stupid brush <3”. /END ID.]

Right now I usually either use the sketch brush for lineart or a felt marker-like brush interchangeably, for a request I got I’m actually using this brush… which is from another free brushpack, simply called “Texture.”

[IMAGE ID: A screenshot of a procreate canvas showing how the brush handles. There is a large, thick squiggly line on the left and several smaller, thin lines next to it. The thick brushstroke shows more of the brush’s soft edges, while the thinner brushstrokes look more sharp and less fuzzy. Both have a taper to the end on both sides of the brushstroke. There is a doodle of the cat face emoticon using thick lines and a doodle beneath it of my character Saul, using medium lines. All the brushstrokes are blue. /END ID.]

For coloring, I usually use a brush that doesn’t screw with the bucket tool to fill things in and then for shading and details I go crazy and do whatever feels right

This turned into a whole ramble haha

(Old art under the cut. Now you too can see just how my art looked wayyyy back when)

September 2020

[IMAGE ID: A drawing of an anthropomorphic lion. It is brown and has a golden mane. It is standing and waving. It has golden jewelry and red, orange, and yellow tattoos on its tail. The linework is smooth and the colors used are shown on the side. /END ID.]

October 2020

[IMAGE ID: A drawing of a humanoid/anthropomorphic vampire squid. It is a reddish/brown color and has light green accents. Its arms are tentacles and its hair is chin-length, webbed and fin-like. A less detailed doodle next to it shows that its tentacles do not have fingers. Another doodle of it, in a smaller chibi version, shows it floating with a tiny shadow beneath it, with the note “Floats above ground”. The linework is smooth. /END ID.]

January 2021

[IMAGE ID: A drawing of a humanoid demon with orange skin and orange hair. It has a dark brown tail, a long tongue, dark brown horns, pointed ears, and a third eye that is yellow. It wears a cloth around its waist and wears lots of jewelry, holding more jewelry and valuable items in its hands. The linework is smooth. /END ID.]

July 2021

IMAGE ID: A drawing of Arthur Kingsmen from Mystery Skulls Animated. He is drawn from the side view and is looking at his hand, which is glowing, bloody, and green. There is also blood coming from his shoulder. His eyes are glowing and he is smiling. The linework is smooth and in the corner, there’s a watermark that says “3lec_tric”. /END ID.]

Let Us Go Then You And I

Robert 'Bob' Floyd x Fem!Reader

A/n: Short fluffy drabble with my soft boy, Bob. The fic is truly inspired by this song and I looped it until I finish writing this so my brain is kinda mush right now. I kinda had an callsign idea for reader but idk maybe I’ll use it in the future ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Reader is a bit dense and Bob is just a sweetheart💕

Wc: 1.3k

“C’mon, Bob! It’s gonna be fine.” You giggle in a hushed tone, tiptoeing through back alleys in the middle of the night.

“I don’t know, y/n…are you sure about this? What if we get caught? They won’t take this lightly…”

“It’s going to be okay, Bob. I promise. Plus, nobody ever checks this section of the field anyway.”

You look back to see Bob, queasy with his thumbs twirling to keep himself steady with his nerves. His eyes dart left and right, keeping a visual on his surroundings in case you get in trouble, or just his muscle memory activating in any sense of danger.

Through a short trek past warehouses and the airfield, you caught sight of your newly found secret spot. Both hidden and forgotten by most navy personnel.

You twist the knob to a fenced door, decorated with warning signs in bold, white letters and red backgrounds ‘KEEP OUT’. In short, that's an invitation to ‘come in’.

The knob turns free, unrestricted. You smile gleefully and swing the door wide open.

“After you.” You gestured, politely.

Bob’s mouth presses until they form into a squiggly line, looking like a lost puppy far away from home. Feet still planted on the spot.

You rolled your eyes and tugged him along your steps.

“Come along, big guy.”

He doesn’t register the dark, at first, only seeing slithers of outlines. This place is fully decked out with misplaced signs, stashes of decade-old equipment and a rusted hull that has seen long passes of days and nights. If the academy ever decided to make a haunted attraction, this would be the place.

You rustled to shadows, hands finding their way through the worn-out walls.

“I think I got it, hold on… And…jackpot!”

The place lit aglow which made Bob jump a few steps back. Much to his surprise, he did not expect to find a swimming pool in an airfield, let alone in the middle of nowhere.

The backlight from the pool illuminated the space 

“How did you find this place? It’s amazing! But…how come no one else knows about this?”

“Well, I’m not a stealth pilot for nothing. This used to be one of the old training spots used for extensive underwater manoeuvres when pilots get ejected into a body of water. Now, it’s a free-for-all!” You grinned, blithely.

Bob’s quizzical face formed unnaturally from observing your bemused expression, eyebrows quirked in two arches. He did not like that smile. He did not like what followed after that smile. He learnt the meaning behind that smile fairly quickly, from the times that you and he had to be called to your superior’s office due to your recalcitrant shenanigans. Even back in Lemoore.

Before he could argue the pros and cons in his head, you were already halfway through taking off your jumpsuits, revealing a black tank top and matching panties. A heat of red imploded his face as he scrambles to put his focus on something other than your revealing skin.

You giggled at his solution to avert his gaze with one hand over his glasses, like a child trying to play hide and seek. You slap his hand away and he let out a small yelp, eyes drew wide to the size of the moon.

“Live and let live, Bobby!” You took a step back with arms open wide.

“Wait, wait, y/n!”

The Earth’s gravity took you in its embrace, plunging you deep into the aquatic territory. The chill engulfs the christening silence, muffling in a feigned planet. The water wallows in low cries but alone without being lonely. You break out of the surface, gasping for life.

“Jesus, y/n! Are you outta your mind?!” He hissed, clutching your clothes tightly in his chest.

“C’mon! The water’s…kinda crisp, but it’s perfectly fine. You’ll love it!”

Bob vehemently shook his head. “I-I-I don’t think that’s a good idea…”

You float aimlessly on the edge, between two states, neither here nor there. Staring above into the landscapes of the night, stars burn like fiery ashes. Appearing more and more at the corners of your eyes. It was a good night to be by the pool; the August fever sinks its teeth into the lamented cold that they can't have.

Body slips into the cyan glow once more, sinking deeper as the starry night in your field unsteadies and coils with every stroke, its colours share with the next, shades of beauty with entropy.

"Y/n...? Hey, y/n? This isn't funny anymore..."

You felt serene in these waters; freed with a fleeting comfort. Unlike the sky, where your awareness lies with the sound of growling engines. Here, you feel nothing, yet it still swallows you whole. Your eye wilt close to the prosaic notion, the water mutters in a deep note, accompanied by the soft thump echoing inside your head. It’s the closest you could feel peace in the palm of your hand.

Two firm grasp finds a hold of your face and desperation in his touch, lips trembling and latching onto yours in faints of hope. You ease into his pressure, letting him into your lungs with the sole heat of sharing a kiss. Granted, it felt a bit different from what you saw in the movies. But the intention with Bob is real, that spark from what they describe speaks truth. That the whole world would collide for you with just a single touch.

The surface of the water breaks open as you both emerge panting for air and sputtering out 

“OH GOD, TALK TO ME! PLEASE TELL ME YOU’RE OKAY-“

"Well, I was until you—"

"I THOUGHT YOU-YOU LOST CONSCIOUSNESS AND DROWNED! YOU DIDN'T MOVE FOR TWO WHOLE MINUTES AND I PANICKED AND I-I— What was I suppose to tell your family...?"

In his clear blue, still shaken in the rippling tides. You softly shake your head.

"Bob, I don't understand... Why do you always tolerate me, or anything that I do? You could've just simply walked away instead of taking a beating from Cyclone for things that weren’t your fault!"

A huff of defeat escapes.

"Why?"

The moonlit motion reflects his anxiousness, taking a moment to recall the memories that you've been through together. Every instance he had gone through— the good, the bad, the ugly— he doesn't want you to be there alone. Something just doesn't sit right with him seeing you in a straight posture and getting words thrown at your face. That maybe one of those times, he won't ever see you again. It wasn't chivalry; he just felt you shouldn't take this on your own.

"I just don't wanna see you do this alone. I-I don't wanna lose you. I d-don't..." His voice trails off.

His words resonated with an ache within you. How long have you put your trust in him? The certainty that is incorporated into your every decision-making involves him. And without you noticing, your arms envelop themselves around his neck, captivating your lips onto his in the surrounding blue. Bubbles trickle out in the shape of you and him, caressing skins by inch and hair dancing in free flow.

The beauty of the kiss made your head spin, and the weight of it all could stop time, frozen in the shape of water with him in your arms. He returns with a touch to the crook of your neck and a tight grip around your waist, marvelling at this new buzzing feeling running through his brain. Eager, reassured thoughts that he'd never imagined a kiss would do to him, every part of you entangles with him. Your eyes flutter open with glistening eyes, taking him back ashore to the midsummer air. Bob pushed his glasses with a sheepish smile, and you do the same.

"Let's go home."

"Yeah."

Hi! Sorry if this has already been asked, but I looked through your tags and did not see it previously mentioned. Do you have a gif tutorial for this post? https://www.tumblr.com/starklystar/726552560907026433/composed-by-david-arnold-good-omens-season-2?source=share

Thank you! 😁

hi!! glad you liked that gifset 💙 so, if you've looked through my previous tutorials, you'll know i use a very unconventional method of gif making, which consists of two steps: 1. make the main gif in photoshop, and 2. add all other elements in powerpoint.

to make the main gif in photoshop, here's a very comprehensive tutorial!

for the first gif in my soundtrack gifset, the main gif is the underlying gif of crowley and aziraphale:

then, i open up powerpoint to a blank presentation, and i change the slide size using custom slide size to be in the aspect ratio that i want it to be in -- for a square like this, i usually stick to 14 cm x 14 cm, but it doesn't really matter what size it is as long as it's the right ratio.

the next step is to make the template you want. for the soundtrack gifset, all i did was to make a square at the center, turn the fill to no fill, and the borders to white. to get the squiggly lines as outlines, you go to Shape Format > Outlines > Sketched, and then you choose the style you want.

then, i made four rectangles around the square, removed the outlines, filled it with a very light grey color, and changed the transparency to 70%

after that, i added in the "progress bar" for the music, which was just one long line that i set to have a dark grey outline with transparency set to 50%, overlayed with a shorter white line and a tiny circle. the pause and rewind and fast forward symbols come from powerpoint icons, and i added the text using simple text boxes! i also added a shadow effect to everything to make things stand out. finally, i insert the main gif and send it to back so that it's behind everything. alternatively, you can also insert a video clip into the slide, and send it to back, and it'll play exactly as a gif.

this is what each component looks like in powerpoint!

and if i move things back to their right alignment, it turns into what the final gif looks like!

finally, you export the powerpoint as a gif. you need to do this slide by slide, and you adjust the number of seconds for how long the main gif takes to run. for the gif quality, i usually go for medium or large, and if it's too large to upload to tumblr, i compress the gif via photoshop

alternatively, if you don't have the export as gif function in powerpoint, you can export the powerpoint as a video (.mp4) and then turn the video to a gif again using photoshop!

feel free to message me if you need any more details 💕
