Since you're working on Jurassic Park fics right now, what is your favorite dinosaur? And what's your favorite one to draw? And is there one you want to draw, but haven't tried yet? Also do you plan on drawing any feathered dinosaurs in the future?

I was the “dinosaur kid” back in grade school and my recent work has honestly been a return to form for me. Honestly I would love to talk about dinosaurs and Jurassic Park all day.  Anyway Questions: 

What’s your favorite dinosaur 

Honestly it’s a toss up between Tyrannosaurus Rex, and Utahraptors. In fact one of my oldest and dearest OC’s is a Were-Utahraptor, her name is Susan “Sue” Orion.  I would love to bring her story back in some compacity some day. 

what's your favorite  Dinosaur to draw

Again by virtue of them having been the animal I’ve drawn the most over the years, Utahraptors (feathered)/ Jurassic park style Raptors. 

there one you want to draw, but haven't tried yet?

Oh there are several but we’ll get there when we get there. At the top of the list Brachiosaurus, Nasutoceratops, and  Parasaurolophus Just as well I would love to draw the decidedly not real but still undoubtly cool Indominus Rex.

Do you plan on drawing any feathered dinosaurs in the future?

Yes! As stated above any art I do of Utahraptors includes them being feathered and I would love to draw my Utahraptor OC again at some point.

wataredis replied to your post “Twins Prompt 8: Wolf in sheep’s clothing Note - I am SUSTAINED by...”

I loved reading this and your other prompts on AO3, you're really good at making the twins likeable. I admit when I first played BL3 I didn't like them, at all. Near the end after their train wreck of a dad, I liked them a little better. Stuff like this prompt though, made me fall in love with them. These characters are what should have been in the game, not what we got.

God. Wow. Thank you so much, I can’t really express clearly how much of a major motivator it is to see anyone enjoy what I make. 

Every day, I only share content because there are some people who like it and sometimes go even further than just reading and actually interact with me in any way, and it is the total reason I continue to do it. 

Sharing ideas, fics, character breakdowns, it’s all really one big discussion opener, and I appreciate this comment so much! Hell I appreciate people disagreeing with me too, it’s all about having fun discussing things, or enjoying content I’d normally keep to myself or a small group of pals.

I personally didn’t like either of the twins in BL3, I thought they were both empty, pointless, wasted characters. What I liked was the hints of where they could have gone, the character development that was there for them that you could latch onto and create interesting ideas with. Troy is “easy” in that he had enough traits in the game and hints of backstory and development that a lot of people have a similar idea for his characterisation in the canon. Everyone writes a very different Troy with different strengths and weaknesses, but he usually does feel like he has the same source.  Ty is “hard” because she had a lot less given to us to actually work with, so writing her it feels a lot trickier to keep her “in character”, there was so little character to research. She’s more straight up fiction than fanfiction to write I think, and it’s probably why people write very different Tyreens so often. Their sources for her are more self built than using canon. It’s harder to look at what we got ingame and feel like you have a solid structure to construct a character on top of.

I don’t like the canonical twins, they were bland. I like my Tyreen, but she’s not the Tyreen from BL3 really, I like my Troy, and I guess him sharing a lot of traits with other people’s means he is  is probably a bit more recognisable as being similar to canon in some aspects? I’m not sure, it’s very hard to look at what you write from an outside viewpoint.

The Twins should both be flawed, beautiful, horrific, broken monsters who are playing pretend at being functional humans, with different personalities, wants and hopes. They have to have their own personal struggles, their own personal hatreds, and their own personal reasons for the COV.  If they don’t, they are just 2d, flat, pointless wastes of space like they both ended up being in BL3, despite having the possibility of being so goddamn fun.

Asks are Open!

See, this here? This is what fandom is all about.

Troy Calypso and Wyn, an OC belonging to @wataredis.

I saw a WIP @mauserfrau was making of this couple, and just got a burst of inspiration to see how I could make an existing model in SFM look like the OC. (The model used for Wyn is Nerissa, from Wolf Among Us, with some color filters and clone stamps thrown on top.)

Had a late 90s shoujo moment with @wataredis .

SMF version by @michellespenscratchz .

Quick little edit for @wataredis of some of their redesign ideas for the AU they are working on.. Check out "The Timekeeper's Gambit" on Ao3! Great stuff so far.

[mauserfrau]

OH HELL YES

https://archiveofourown.org/works/24293020/chapters/73389204

Here you go, a new chapter of The Timekeeper’s Gambit is up. Finally getting to the meat of the story after a billion years and much angst and writer’s block. I would continue to be stuck if @mauserfrau didn’t keep saving my sorry butt. Thank you Mau!

Two Troy Calypsos.  The one on the right told a dirty joke and the one on the left is not sure how to react.

Left Troy is how @wataredis sees him [re: The Timekeeper’s Gambit ~ NSFW] and the one on the right is how I see him.

Not Rhack Wednesdays! On Thursday [17]

Not that there’s anything wrong with Rhack, but variety is the spice of life!

Well, look who's back! @wataredis brings us an all new (NSFW) chapter of The Timekeeper's Gambit proper. I know a lot of people read that fic for the dark themes-- Chapter 9, anybody? --so you will not be disappointed today! Oof, right in the heart.

@raidbossmade has been busy: new Familiar Path, Different Place and Edge of Chaos. Talk about being on a dinosaur roll. I understand there's more coming this weekend soon, so keep a look out.

@michellespenscratchz has branched out into Rhyiona with her latest, hot off the press, short. “Guess you can take the girl out of Pandora, but you can’t take Pandora out of the girl.”

@darkmagicdrag0n has once again updated A Queen With No Crown. Oh yes and now with model sheets & also this cuteness. Sweet! "OHHHHH! That's that dragon-looking thing. The one that looks like Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh." I love it!

Oh and did an oops in Several Saturnine Lunchtimes At Dr. Black's (also NSFW). I wonder how that's going to pan out...?

If you’d like your fic featured on Not Rhack Wednesdays On Thursday, the only requirement is that it not be Rhack (well, and you have to ask).  Calypso Twins angst is not required, but a plus.  Give me a jingle or @ me or whatever works for you.

My fantastic splash image is brought to you by @kingcharon whose commissions are waitlisted right now because of all your lovely support and who know has a lovely Patreon, if you would like to join. It’s got art tips and coloring pages~. Also, to bring everything around, pinup Wynter anyone? YES.

@wataredis​ you got it pal. 

In my AU he genuinely felt he was doing right by Leda by keeping the twins safe, he honestly believed he was doing as good a job as possible at being a father considering what he had to work with, but if he’d made even the slightest effort to really look at how his children were developing, he would have seen clear proof otherwise. 

It was willful ignorance. His “good intentions” mean fuck all in the face of the abuse they suffered. 

Leech Lord Tyreen was in agony for years on Nekrotafeyo, her half of The Leech was the frantic hunger of it, the desperate need to consume, but Typhon refusing to let her leave meant every time The Leech tried to lure its host to Pandora - something all the great Siren powers do in one manner or another - it failed. 

It had nothing else to lash its maddened suffering out at bar Tyreen, and she was just a kid. She couldn’t explain to anyone what it felt like, she couldn’t even understand herself what the gnawing emptiness eating through her bones actually was.

Troy couldn’t comprehend it, yet alone Typhon. Troy’s half is malignant, a quiet, covetous need at the back of his mind that feeds on his own body when there is no other energy, but isn’t aggressive the way Tyreen’s is. 

It would be like preventing a migratory animal from following its intense instinct to leave, and watching it suffer - biting against its cage wire and pacing back and forth till its teeth cracked and hooves bled. 

That’s on Typhon, it’s all on him.

He kept them safe while watching them starve.

Whose got a bab? @wataredis does! Commissioned to draw her ADORABLE Borderlands OC Vael, and its the first time I've drawn a baby too?? HELL YEAH!

Commission slots are still quite full, but if ya'll would like to be put on a waitlist or inquire, feel free to message me!

THANK YOU MYSTI!
