Shoutout To My Monkees Mutuals For Reminding Me About The Monkees And Their Music; Now I'm Thinking About

A moodboard for my Killjoy OC Fruit Snack! She is half African American and half Hopi; I'm still working on developing the full details of her character, but putting together this moodboard has helped me work towards getting to know her better. Her name arose out of this post (blagueofchaos is my sideblog) and I’ve basically run with it from there, trying to work out what a Killjoy who named herself Fruit Snack would be like. I do plan on doing a full OC intro post once I have a decent summary of her worked out and written, so I’ll try to refrain from making this post super long with details and mostly let the moodboard speak for itself. 

I was motivated to make this moodboard by the Killjoys of Color Project run by @andromeda-flash and @code-red-against-mike-milligram. This is for Day 3: City Born OCs. Thank you for the inspiration to actually make this! 

For full photo sources and credits, plus an expanded section of thoughts on my moodboard process that I moved for brevity’s sake, see below the cut. 

I was also thinking about putting something to more specifically represent her Hopi heritage in this moodboard, and I’ve been reading up on Kachina dolls, but I didn’t want to just stick one in my moodboard without understanding the full context of them and whether it would be appropriate. I think it’s fairly likely that BLI, as an organization that tries to strip people of any individuality, would attempt to prevent the passing on of such traditions, but I’m also sure that her mother would have passed some knowledge of her heritage on to her in secret before she left the city, so I was thinking maybe a Kachina doll could be like the one physical aspect of her culture she has to hold onto. I may at some point make a revised or an additional moodboard with one in it, but for now I decided I should wait to be sure that I understand what I’m doing with those.

And I suppose I’d be remiss if I didn’t also reblog the lovely part 2! Dancing, romance, political drama, Kylo Ren with a flower in his hair, and my gosh this art style. I love it :)

Do you ever consider alternate names for ships? Like Spuffy could’ve been Billiam, or... or Bike.

Finishing off the year with an idea I've wanted to paint for a while, a cat in the clouds ☁️

Anyways, here’s a rather more heartwarming Mother’s Day fanart piece of young Loki learning magic from his mom :)

“You [Thor] and your father cast large shadows. I had hoped by sharing my gifts with Loki that he could find some sun for himself.”

OMG MOM UR SO COOL HOW DO YOU DO THAT WOWOWWOW

It is a kitty Kida!!! She is so pretty :) 

Also, I love when people remember that Atlantis exists. It was definitely one of my favorite movies growing up (as were its sequels). I think I still have my Barbie Kida with the light up crystal necklace somewhere...

I do love this quote; it describes them so well. Their relationship is so profound and intricate and I love every moment of it, all the twists and turns of the renegade friends who went down different paths in their wanderings.

I have considered shipping them romantically, but I really just don’t see them that way. I love the idea that their friendship is even deeper and more profound than that. At the end of the day, I just want to see them travel the universe together and to continue to challenge one another morally. The Missy redemption arc stuff was probably my favorite part of 12′s run and I hope they bring the Master back soon (I mean, it’s not like they haven’t been dead before. Side note, just where is this line of being “injured too badly to regenerate”? It’s wibbly-wobbly, I guess.). Definitely one of my top BrOTPs, probably the top, actually, and one of my favorite quotes from their relationship. 

“Oh, don’t be disgusting. We’re Time Lords, not animals! Try, nano-brain, to rise above the reproductive frenzy of your noisy little food chain, and contemplate friendship“.

Yes, this is definitely my favorite Gerard hair :) The color, the shape, and the softness are all on point. 

Day 57: “Sniper”

(The part neon ghost is replying to is where I asked if Cherri Cola's gender was a Welcome to Night Vale reference)

Now I can't help imagining a WTNV/Killjoy crossover though. Like, what if Night Vale is the Zone 13 no one talks about or something? Most of the time the radio signals can’t make it through that patch of weird interference, but once in a while, the wind blows just right and over the static the Killjoys hear not Dr. Death Defying but a strange man mooning over a handsome scientist or whispering the name ‘Huntokar’... 

"What's your gender?" + the characters i hc as enby

Party Poison: *nods thoughtfully* "Yes, i do, indeed, have one."

Show Pony: "Dunno, lost it in the City. Hope to get it back some day." *sighs whistfully looking in the distance*

Cherri Cola: *shrugs* "Partially boy, mostly void."

I’m a simple woman, I hear the Pirates of the Caribbean music, I become gripped with the urge to don pirate garb and fight cursed skeletons upon the open sea
