After YEARS of going back and forth on this, I finally got my hands on one of the most desired snakes on my list - a BEL (Super Lesser) Python regius 💙

This lady is a tad small and light for her age but we’re already working on that! She should be ready to breed in 2024. Stunning, stunning animal, especially in daylight. A real world shirohebi!

I'm not exactly sure how I want to phrase this yet, but I think a lot of the utterly weird takes I see sometimes float by me on our cursed blue hellsite (esp when it comes to mdzscql fandom) is coming from a refusal to meet the genre where it's at.

Like, why are we trying to interrogate classism in MDZS society, MDZS is a romance, the societal worldbuilding is just enough to support some general big ideas and the provide context for the romance. We can't get ANY kind of read on general classim/sexism/anything else from. this source material. if you think you can get granular when your sample size of characters from various social and gender strata are so small and we don't know how the vast majority of people in here live you are making stuff up.

Like, meet the story where it's at: it's a romance novel.

Just read "an in-character Dazai would never let Chuuya top". Ya'll, Dazai likes to call himself a princess and nearly get cities nuked just to have Chuuya be his prince and come rescue him. What's not clicking??

Be me, sit in Finland in your Finnish living room reading your Finnish news apps

Open an analysis about the upcoming US presidential election

"If Trump wins, his climate policy (or lack of thereof) will poison the entire atmosphere, make everything so much worse for the entire planet in the coming decades, kill millions. Expert says: It's gonna be so bad!"

Open a social media app instead

Immediately come across some asinine "there's no moral option in the election, the only moral option is not to vote at all!" discourse

Feel so incredibly, incredibly powerless

Part of my Ikemen Villains experience has been creating Robin OCs (MCs?) that are partially inspired by 19th century classical literature/poetry, save for about one or two, one for each boy.

This will be my masterlist for the main 9 as of July 2024. Of course, dynamics and backstories are subject to change.

William:

(Note: She is the one who will most likely be written in 2nd person POV. ) Dynamic: corrupter and corrupted, fast burn, partners in crime

Harrison:

Dynamic: Normal x Normal (healthy dynamic in spite of their traumas, definitely the healthiest of the pool because it's going to get odd from here), mutual pining, slow burn

Liam:

Dynamic: friends to lovers, deep emotional scars, heartbreak, second love, angst, hurt/comfort, slow burn, famous x normal

Elbert:

Dynamic: wallflower x obsessive personality, yandere, gothic horror (think Crimson Peak but without the-you-know-what, and I know Crimson Peak is set in the Edwardian era shhh)

Roger:

Dynamic: tough girl x bruiser, belligerent sexual tension, slap slap kiss, I think they will kill each other first and that's beautiful

Alfons

Dynamic: FWB, yandere (mc), heartbreak, second love, enemies to FWB to enemies to lovers, partners in crime, banter (note: I have two more bullet points in the doc, but they are purposely concealed for now *shifts eyes*)

Ellis:

Dynamic: 🔥age gap🔥 (older woman x younger man), yandere, everyone can see it, second chance love (6th time, actually)

Jude:

Dynamic: grumpy vs sunshine, rich vs poor, class difference, opposites attract, oblivious to love, bad boy and good girl/all girls want bad boys (also obviously bsdm dynamics)

Victor:

Dynamic: age gap (older man, younger woman), mutual pining (kinda), daddy issues, slow burn, hurt/comfort, angst

The Argentinian adaptation of Jekyll and Hyde, Soficci’s El hombre y la bestia, isn’t anything to write home about, but it makes a couple of interesting changes to the original story. Some are born of necessity (since the story is set in 1950s Buenos Aires rather than 1880s London) but some are much cleverer than simply translating the story to a new setting. Two come to mind.

One is giving Jekyll a wife (Sara) and a four year old son (Enriquito), both of which he loves so very much. They serve as a reason for him to not become Hyde— not like Hyde doesn’t love them as well (in fact, Hyde himself spends much of the movie terrified that he might hurt them, mortified at the though they’ll see him as the monster he is, begging Sara to not open the door and hiding his claws and fangs from Enriquito).

The other is replacing Carew with an anonymous lamplighter. Not only it highlights how random, unmotivated, and senseless the Carew murder is, it serves to show that the people of Buenos Aires don’t just care when a politician is murdered— they care about their own. If a poor innocent lamplighter can be caned to death in the middle of the street, anyone can.

(Then there’s also that Hyde canonically doesn’t have fingerprints in this movie.)

(And then them being called Enrique Jekyll and Eduardo Hyde, God Bless.)

SuperTale

Fun fact; one of my favorite Au's growing up was UnderToad as Mario is another hyperfixation of mine! Original Au; https://www.deviantart.com/marioluigi34/art/Super-Tale-NOT-CANNON-VERSON-ANYMORE-846607115 Original first update of this Au; https://www.deviantart.com/marioluigi34/art/Super-Tale-UPDATED-SPRITES-922506412

Supertale originally had a more complex story about Mario universe fusing with Undertale, but I realize now the simple explanation is the better one; Undertale characters with minimalistic personality changes get Mario character roles. Sans: Similar to CrossBones, this more active Sans still prefers to lay back and relax with a good pun or two, but will jump in to save the day! Papyrus: Papyrus wants to shine as a hero in his own right, he's better at hiding his fears than Luigi. Toriel: The Queen of the Underground, she's calm, polite, and able to use fire magic! The perfect ruler! If only she didn't say so many bad puns...

Mad Mew Mew: The best Princess. She built her own kingdom right above the Underground. Even so, she still lives in Papyrus's sink in this universe as well.

Spamton: Spamton.

Pink Addison: Are they friends? Lovers? Brothers? DEO they even have genders? No like Pink will tell you; after all, they're too busy cheating and scamming.

Greater Dog: Dog Island is where Greater Dog lives; nobody would DARE steal their bone horde... right?

Lesser Dog: Following in Greater Dog's paw prints, Lesser Dog is- oh... they got distracted by a butterfly...

C. Round: Brrrm Ha!

Alphys: She may act like a mad scientist, but she only does it to impress Undyne.

Swatching: This gentleman watches over the Queen, even if she tries to ditch him from time to time.

Frisk: Toriel's youngest child, Frisk is the brave and curious leader of the Frisk-Bregade.

Chara: The second oldest, Chara is the smooth talker and the muscle of the Frisk-Bregade.

Asriel: The youngest, Asriel is the brains and the magic caster of the Frisk-Bregade!

King: King of the Dark Lands, he'll take over the Underground through force!

Some blue guy: Who is this magical man? Not drawn are: Lancer - Bowser Jr, Mettaton - Birdo, Noelle - Rosalina, Jevil - King Boo, Undyne - WaPeach, Clover (the three-headed one from Deltarune) - Mayor Pauling, and Gaster as Count Blecc.

I’ve been thinking a lot about what a Hazel and Jason friendship would look like.

Hazel tentatively reaching out after finally understanding that Jason isn’t everything she built him up to be in her head, influenced both by Nico and by what she actually observed of Jason herself

Jason assumes she just wants tips on leadership or maybe how to fight better, so he obliged by offering to train with her

Hazel expects Jason to go easy on her like Percy and Annabeth and Piper do, but instead she gets taken down within a few minutes and has Jason ruthlessly pointing out what things she could improve on.

(Cue: Hazel finally having an opponent who doesn’t underestimate her. Hazel who finally feels like she has somebody she can spar against who will help and not just let her win because she’s young and small. Hazel who finally gets why Nico spends so much time talking about how kind and helpful Jason is, even if what she’s seeing isn’t necessarily kind.)

Jason starts hanging out with Hazel outside of sparring but in other groups, like with Piper, or Nico. He learns that she loves dancing and horses and likes to test the hardness of a stone against her fingernails, likes to collect shiny non-precious things just like Nico does, likes to swear loudly whenever possible as if she’s doing it to purposely piss people off.

Hazel asks Jason if he wants to go hang out one day after the Argo quest is over, maybe go to some museum in NYC that she’s heard Percy talk about, or find metaphysical shops to walk through (I HC that Hazel really loves modern mortal interpretations of magic and that she’s fascinated by the ways mortals accidentally connect to the gods etc.) and Jason assumes she means with someone else and agrees, only to find out they’re going alone.

Jason panicking for a moment about potential misinterpretations, once he realizes, and stammering out some garbled thing about how he really likes her but not like that because ofc all he’s known so far is that being alone with a girl = someone will assume romantic intent. Hazel openly laughs in his face and rather boldly states that she KNOWS Jason is in love with her brother.

Hazel, eventually, being the first person Jason feels safe coming out to. Jason, in return, being the first person Hazel feels safe to talk about being asexual with. The two of them discussing their feelings more and more often while exploring new places together, like Hazel talking about how she did so much researching into queer history and labels when she first found out Nico is gay, Jason telling her that he still doesn’t feel like Thalia is his sister as if he might not be the same Jason Grace she remembers, the two of them coming to terms with being on the aromantic spectrum together.

Jason talking Hazel out of joining the Hunters when she’s having a very very bad day. Hazel stopping Jason from disappearing back out into the mortal world to finish school without first giving his other friends a chance to have input.

(Hazel and Jason inadvertently saving each other’s lives by tweaking fate, thus making their friendship literally woven into their lives forever indisputably. Hades/Pluto patting Jason on the back and telling him thank you with no context or clarification the next time they meet. Hera/Juno, tight lipped and silent, offering Hazel some kind of gift or blessing the next time she returns to New Rome. Hazel and Jason laughing it off when they tell each other because wow, their godly parents are weird as hell.)

After your reduction are you gonna change how you draw self portraits? Idk if you’re gonna get phantom boob syndrome but it’ll be funny if your hand defaults to big booba during drawing.

I was just thinking abt this!! I think by force of habit I'll prob default to drawing my Old Boobs lmao. chances are I'll have to intentionally, manually, change the way I see myself in my head and the way I draw myself

[notbecauseofvictories]

saw ur recent photos from ireland and just had to ask what camera you use!!! girl those are some stunners

Interestingly---especially given my thoughts on the slow arc of improvement---it's the same camera I've had for the past five years! A lightly used Canon EOS 20D, it was given to me as a law school graduation gift.

I will say that I finally invested in some lens wipes, which I think helped a lot. Apparently the autofocus was very confused by the dust and smears on the lens, and kept throwing off my shots.

Do you have headcanons about how Deity Luigi from your AU would show his love towards Daisy? How would he use his powers for her?

Deity AU

For context: Luigi is a celestial god, and Daisy is a forest nymph

Oooohhhh that's an interesting question 🤭 To explain this, I'll break down how their first meeting went.

- Luigi is very cautious about approaching Daisy. It's love at first sight, and he watches from afar for a while before even getting the courage to talk to her.

- He makes himself appear more human, and carefully approaches her while she's walking through the forest. Being only a nymph, Daisy is by natural instinct terrified of him at first. Even though he is in a human form, she can sense something is not mortal about him, and demands that he show her who he really is.

- One thing about Daisy that Luigi has come to learn, is that she is not as submissive or delicate as other nymphs of her kind. She is loud, ferocious, and able to fend for herself. And he is drawn to her.

- Luigi is hesitant, but agrees in order to put her at ease. "Please don't freak out", he says, as he lifts off his mortal disguise and shows himself in his true form

- Even though he is keeping his power in check (so as not to harm her) he is blinding with sheer power alone. Daisy steps back, unsure whether to run away. But then she take a good look at him. And instead of seeing a ruthless god, she sees a gentle soul staring back at her, begging her to stay, to give him a chance. She approaches him and takes his hand in hers. She smiles at him, and instantly his heart soars. She trusts him.

- Luigi visits her regularly in his mortal form, so as to keep her and the forest safe (for a god's power is destructible if not in check), but there is a comforting presence around her at all times in his absence that she identifies as Luigi. For example, while exploring her forest home, Daisy accidently stumbles into hunter's territory, and she is pursued. However, the hunters don't get far before lightning bolts unexpectantly rain down from the sky and strike them down.

- Another time, Daisy is upset that a part of the forest is dying from the lack of rain, so Luigi sends a rainstorm that instantly rejuvenates the flora.

- Another one I want to add because I think it's cute ^^ While Daisy has a power that can make flora grow, she cannot ultimately make the life permanent. Her powers only allow her to assist the forest. When they both agree for Luigi to spend a night with her, she creates a beautiful bedding of flowers of many species and colours ^^ But she is sad, for she explains that by the time they will wake up, the flowers will be dead. Luigi then says they won't, and uses his power to have the flowers be gently dusted in a watery mist (but does not feel wet to the touch). He explains that the flowers are now permanently frozen in a time of life, love, and beauty, and they will never die out 💚💛
