#the memphis guys

The technicolor wires that surrounded them drifted lazily throughout the air in rings, their immaterial fingers sliding their beads back and forth with more of the same sharp sounds.

so apparently “random line” and “randomly choosing a WIP” means “I use a random generator and it picks the 🧍 Guys five times in a row” but I mean I’m not complaining I love them <3 <3 <3

Just realised I never shared this omg

Meet the redesigned (and present-day) Jono! I realised I'd originally subconsciously coded him as Aboriginal in some little chunks of experimental writing I made of him and Memphis, and I wanted to make him explicitly so because a) NO SIMPSONS ABORIGINAL AUSTRALIAN CHARACTERS? NOT ONE? b) I thought him having ties to the Stolen Generation (on his mother's side) brought valuable depth to his character (and the Stolen Generation is also something I've wanted to explore a bit in my work) and c) I was already subconsciously writing him as Aboriginal and there's literally only one rough artwork of him made before all the development I gave him, so why go against my instincts for his character?

For context, this is only other appearance in a visual work, back when he was just a two-dimensional placeholder, haha.

Saw Christian Cage live and in the flesh tonight. That'll sustain me for months, I expect.

The Death of Julius Caesar but in the goofy corporate memphis art style that I am forced to see everywhere.

Remember to listen to your local haruspex!

Closeups under the cut

[hooked-on-elvis]

Elvis Presley and Gene Smith (his cousin), and Elvis and Alan Fortas (his friend and Memphis Mafia member) during photo shoot for "King Creole" in 1958.

Alan Fortas (nicknamed "Hog Ears" by Elvis), said about his pictures with EP: "To prove to my friends I was actually making movies with Elvis Presley, I had wallet size pictures like these made up from shots taken at promotional photo sessions for 'King Creole' held at Paramount studios 1958."

Elvis and friend, Alan Fortas. Early March 1958, at the Paramount Studios in Hollywood, CA.

🤥 lying for drafty shipshape

answering both of the drafty ones you sent in one since they’re both for them but 👁👁

🤥 LYING - are they good liars? do they have tells to show they're lying?

Okay so. Drafty lies. A lot. A LOT. Most of the time it’s not in a serious situation though, mostly just ghost misinformation because they think it’s funny around the other Guys.

They’re definitely good at it though, shockingly! You wouldn’t really expect them to be given how honest they seem, but a pirate’s got to be a pirate sometimes, matey. It’s really hard to tell whether or not they’re lying from voice alone, though. Their biggest tell is that usually they’ll have a sort of like.

like. a grin. y’know. not anything too visible, but the best way I can describe it is the vibe of Calvin’s dad in Calvin and Hobbes when he tells him they got him from Sears. it’s like that sort of commitment to the bit

🌋 VOLCANO - how bad is their temper? is it a slow boil, or a instant explosion?

okay ignore the fact that i’ve only thought of this in regards to the fact the “drafty caused the titanic to sink despite doing literally everything in their power to not cause the titanic to sink” BUT I HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT THIS A FAIR AMOUNT

I feel like Drafty doesn’t have much of a temper. It’s a rare occurrence to actually see it show. Maybe there’s a bit of discomfort or agitation, maybe they’re just less amused, but they’re not the kind to be quick to anger. More on the “slower boil” side of things methinks?

I always imagine it as like. To stick with the theming, if it ever does happen, it’s got the vibe of a storm. A slow enough build that you can see the dark clouds from miles away, where you can see a bit of agitation in the waves, with a thick sort of feeling that hangs in the air. Drafty’s got that terrifying “quiet, cool, seething” sort of anger, I think!

coil is just "donut guy" to me

Yo, It's me again, and with a random stuff that absolutely no one cares about...I managed to repair my glasses, which means I see in HD4K and not just specks in the distance 😎

Now with that said, I will proceed to show you a drawing I made of my three favorite boys✨...at least from v9

Behold!✨

I felt a little lazy so there will be no background this time 😔

I see mistakes in this, I always do, but I won't focus too much on them since, like I said, I feel lazy and I only made this drawing to test how a fountain pen that I bought online works, yesterday I received the ink so today I started testing it :D

Fancy pen, for a girl with bad handwriting, ohhhh yeaaahh 😎

The only reason I didn't try it yesterday is because when I opened the bottle of ink it started to spill everywhere D:

My theory is that there was ink residue on the cap from probably shaking it on the way to my delivery, so when I opened it what was left on the cap ran down the outside of the bottle, so yes, my hands were unfortunately stained with ink, but they were the only ones affected since my desk was easily cleaned and my clothes were not even touched, so it wasn't so tragic after all <D

And that's all for today, nothing very interesting has happened to me more than this morning I woke up with a terrible headache, but it is understandable after a week where the most I slept per day was about...three hours maximum ☠️

But anyway, bye bye everyone, stay safe 💖
