@trensu I just want you to know this has been living in my head rent free ever since I saw it
I have no words other than the simple fact that i have exhausted the current amount of tma au fics that aren't just fluff right now and... well, isn't that how the saying goes? if you can't find the fic you wanna read yourself, you may as well just write it yourself.
Simple premise is au where monsters aren't really as we see them in TMA, and can be controlled by the use of crafted sigils, either as a means of warding them off, binding them to an object (usually a book so their powers can be used once the monster's consciousnesss dies) or to destroy them entirely.
Jon is a special case by way of his rather permanent transformation at the hands of Elias, who'd crafted a very special sigil of his own to bind Jon to his command as part of a much bigger plan. Trapped with Jon, although not bound or created by Elias in the same manner, is Gerard Keay and Michael Shelly, with the latter being very miffed to say the least at being unable to kill any of the institute staff, (including most pertinantly, Gertrude Robinson the one responsible for the sigils binding them there for her uses under threat of death).
For a long time things seem absolutely hopless when Gertrude's last plan to stop Elias fails and she dies as a result, Michael and Gerry still bound to the institute and being used as unwitting labor by Elias in the aftermath with Jon staying as far away from the institute as he can until the time comes when Elias will inevitably use the sigil to force him back to the institute again.
Needless to say meeting and saving Martin blackwood from his own monsters was not something any of them could have forseen.

Can confirm, literally anyone with ocs is silently spending every spare moment wishing they could tell you everything they love about their little imaginary babies and how far they’re going
Hey, can y’all rb this if it’s okay to send you messages asking about your ocs, cause on god I wanna interact with y’all but I am terrified of being annoying lol

art cheats
hello i am here today to not lose track of the art cheats i have discovered over the years. what i call art cheat is actually a cool filter/coloring style/way to shade/etc. that singlehandedly makes art like 20 times better
80’s anime style
glitch effect
glow effects
adding colors to grayscale paintings
foreshortening ( coil )
foreshortening ( perspective )
clipping group (lines)
clipping group (colors)
dramatic lighting ( GOOD )
shading metal
lighting faces
that is all for today, do stay tuned as i am always hunting for cool shit like this
Can we just guillotine the bastard already?
I think in large part that’s why I love creating and seeing new stories, because the power of characters and fiction as a whole is that it helps you make sense of yourself and the world.
This character is who I was back then, but more. This character is still learning to love themselves and puts others first way too often, this character is scared shitless and just wants to be happy, this character is the embodiment of how much my negative coping mechanisms can and have destroyed me, and this character is someone who really just needs a hug.
To me at least it’s about taking out all the little pieces of yourself and making them their own person, someone you can see and want to help, and then giving them the hug and the friends they need to heal and as a result, maybe heal yourself too.
I like to include bits of myself in a lot of characters, like, this one also thinks purple is the best color (because it is!), this one can't handle anything remotely spicy, this one hates an adrenaline rush, this one loves plums, etc.
But then there's always one character in the lot where I'm like, "sorry buddy, you're getting the brunt of my worst flaws this time" and it's awful but fantastic because I get to process and idealize those flaws without just staring at myself.
Anyway I think writing yourself into your characters is normal and healthy, even. Thanks for coming to my Sleepy Talk.
guess whos back with another shitpost comic its me
@comicaurora i was told it was important you see this
Okay you asked for this…
2016 vs 2022, it’s funny what 6 years, pose referencing and a crap ton of drawing can accomplish
would anyone reblog/reply to this and show off ur art improvement 🥺🥺🥺
"Fucking answer me, Deku!"
"Don't call me that."
Foreshadowing for a later scene from my Blood Born AU , apologies again for the bad quality photography
Pose ref is this
@http://hardlynotnever.tumblr.com/ hope you enjoy, thank you for the inspiration
Quick sketch of a dnd character I’ll probably never get to play 🫠
Had my first D&D game today as DM
Took a grand total of 2 minutes for the bards to decide to seduce and flash their glorious tits at the town guard.
Me: I know I’ve got other fandoms I need to write for but I’ve relapsed briefly into writing another Voltron fic for fun
My friend: just answer me one question… how fucked is Lance?
Me, remembering what I’ve written:… oh god... I’m a monster
yall see “love” and immediately go to “romantic love” if you translate “love is the whole point” to “romantic love is the whole point” you need to rethink everything because love is found in everything. in community, in friendships, in family, in food, in nature so actually love is the whole point and u can die mad about it. hope this helps <3
so fond of characters who haunt their stories, who exist without actually existing at all. when a character is long gone, but persists in the actions and words of all the characters they have left behind. when everything to come unfolds because of them. when they are both dead and the beating heart at the very center of the narrative... that’s the stuff 💗__💗
Ver important psa for my fellow writers
Guys what happened to Passerine??
It’s just??? Gone???
Upon reflection and the realisation that Sen is def aroace (because I need the representation) and this is def their relationship.
Please excuse my crappy photography
(Curly haired smol bean is Takanashi Asuma, who everyone in universe constantly forgets has killed people)
After much deliberation and manic procrastinating I now present my official list of favourite charcter archetypes:
Character who does objectively good things and is on the side of good but is still an objectively terrible person
Gruff loner parent who adopts other characters and care about them deeply in their own way and it's really heartwarmingly obvious but they will never actually say it
Absolutely feral rough and tumble fighter who is misunderstood as a troublemaker, gets mad when their friends are hurt and will sacrifice themselves at the drop of a hat but would never admit it
At some point had big protagonist energy but all their friends are dead or gone and are just trying their hardest after getting in over their head but still wanting to do good in the world
Gods who literally couldn't give two shits about your problems and what humans these days are up to
Someone who has escaped a terrible situation and hated the person they were when they were in said situation and is trying to be better but has terrible self-worth and succumbs to the power of friendship™ and a well written recovery arc
Prick "I know more than you" academics who are snarky and absolute smug little shits especially to the antagonists but have a heart of gold
Antagonist that everyone but the person they "work for" knows is the one who's really in charge
Character who can and will easily kill you in 101 ways with their bare hands but will feel bad about it afterwards (bonus points if PTSD and their personality is absolute baby) That one shapeshifter who's just here to have fun, cause some chaos and prank everyone
That one shapeshifter who can transform into one (1) thing and that one thing is an absolutely fucking terrifying beast of some kind when they go Apeshit
Flirty pretty femme boy or girl who probably doesn't care about gender at all so long as they get to look fabulous and tease people they think are cute
A group of 'orphans' who findfamily in each other (feat. Intimidating but objectively good parent who has unofficially adopted everyone, older sibling child trying to take care of everyone, the chaotic dumbass, the innocent bean, the one who's having none of their bullshit, etc.)
Amnesiacs who are just trying to move on with their lives and turn over a new leaf and are honestly terrified of finding out the truth of who they were in the past
Y’all, it’s so good to be back
Draw this awhile ago and figured it was about time to post, Especially since I’ve not been present enough to really provide much of an explanation to all of this.
This here is Sen, one of many survivors of a major devastating incident that took place in his home city of Nirashi when he was about 6 years old, and it results in some truly nasty after effects on Sen and the world as a whole… by the time the story gets started, Sen is 15, homeless and doing his best to keep the fact that he could potentially blow at any moment and take the world out with him as close to his chest as possible. Until that is, he meets a swordsman who might just be able to help him.
Uhmmm……..imma just add this post the rapidly growing list of reasons I maybe should have seen this whole nb thing sooner lol
Me: god I wish I didn’t have boobs
Them: oh, are you trans?
Me: No I just really fucking hate having boobs
Bruh at this point in the year I’m so burnt out my mind is tugging on my shirt and with such innocent childlike eyes asking me oh so politely with little shining puppy dog eyes if we can ‘pretty please go home now?’ And m8 I do not have the capacity to say no no matter how much shit I’m behind on.
Yes, the next chapter of Blood Born will be coming out at some point. Yes I am aware that it has been almost three months and yes I know nobody asked but I felt like I owed y’all an explanation anyway…
Been playing around with ink ✍🏼_(:3」∠)_
Whump Prompt for y’all
So, y’all know about wood burning kits right?
These little tool things that are literally red hot at the ends that people use to burn cool patterns into wood?
Been seeing a lot of ads for them recently, which is sad because I know I will never have the time or the money to try it.
But then I had a thought… an awful terrible whumpy idea I thought I might share with you.
Y’all know the whole brutal serial killer shebang, ‘making art’ on our poor hapless Whumpee, y’all have heard about branding, but have you considered ‘torture through drawing pretty patterns or words with iron wood burning tools’?
Idk may write this at some point, but boy would I pay good money for some quality whump and hurt/comfort featuring this concept and the horrible but calculated scars that could result.
Hi yeah sorry professor but for the foreseeable future I will be fucked up and will not be able to hand in the next few assignments. Uh huh. Uh huh. Yes because of a children’s show. Yeah. Uh-huh. Ok great thanks for ur understanding byeeeee
