Redraw of old art, I care them so much -u-
2018 version under cut

If you do, if I may ask, may you draw a bit of trans Flug? Even if it’s just a single drawing (if you don’t wanna, once again it’s ok!!)
This may sound a bit selfish but someone called me a slur online for headcanning him as trans and I’m sorta sad now :( Your blog makes me happy so I thought to ask you (assuming your blog is safe for trans ppl-)
Have a good day either way tho :) hope I’m not being rude or intruding or anything!
The trans Flug hc is super valid anon :D! and ofc my blog is safe for y'all!
unfortunate flug
Every time I see a new post of yours, BH keeps getting more and more beefy. I'm in love.
I have no idea what you’re talking about…
paperhat or something idk
Forbidden
Hey! I was wondering since you said that English isn’t your first language and all and the translation thing (Which is totally fine btw! I’m the same way) …
What is your first language? Sorry if this is like too personal, but I’m genuinely really curious!
Ich spreche normalerweise deutsch
Berliner/Sächsischer dialekt mix
my brain also gets confused bc I can speak a little bit of many languages. spanish namely, also simple french, dutch and japanese
paperhat in german would be eons better than in english, bc Flug has to use the formal "you" for Black Hat. and he would. he would (have to) continue even once they are together bc he probably demands it. Black Hat could use it for Flug (should, under normal circumstances of the rule) but most likely doesn't respect him enough for that. it strengthens the power imbalance soo much bc it is ALWAYS mutual irl.
this is indescribably ancient so it's really bad [the text is NSFWish]
commonly, only the older one can offer the informal "you" to another person. it would be high praise and trust to get the offer from your boss.
if your language doesn't have that layer of politeness you don't understand how much tension and power there is behind even a simple casual conversation, it's so appealing ughh (if you use it in a ship. bc you never use it in your private life, not even when you meet someone you date for the first time. it's just strange to use for a partner whether long-term or one-night. paperhat would be a quite unique case.)
do u write fanfics? i need to GOON 💔
damn brother, you just gonna come at me like that? alright I see you
but there's a myriad of problems
well first of all I'm not native in english. that is probably noticeable more often than not. I sometimes even use a translator, I always secretly got google/dict.cc open in a second tab. didn't formally learn english, I just snagged it by proxy listening to American Youtubers and reading manga online. that's why I prefer to ramble a bit in public or to my damn self in private areas than live-texting 1 on 1/in groups; bc I can take more time totally judgement-free. you're gonna see me "typing..." for 30 minutes and wonder wtf is taking this mf so long?!
apart from that there's dyslexia. I can't spell one word correctly without swipe-to-type autocorrect. I think all arguments I've gotten into stem from me mistyping, using completely wrong words, messing up the sentence structure etc
my brain is a single dense cloud of fog that'll occasionally split open to drizzle down a bunch of jumbled thoughts that I could turn into barely cohesive words if I'm brave enough and exude copious amounts of energy.
so my linguistic skills are not up to par. my intelligence lies more in... intrapersonal and existential departments.
unsurprisingly I've thus become a visual artist to express myself.
the catch is... that I understand paperhat, I do.
but I can't seem to draw toxic dynamics. my head is just empty about how to depict it. it's like it doesn't come naturally to me. not without going overboard and making a whole comic that I would likely abandon before even reaching the half mark. I've been given these angelic skills along with the curse that I shall only draw joyous, bright scenes.
however if I could write it... now we're talking.
as a matter of fact, I'm pretty sure that most of my ideas are way too dark and sober. people don't know me like that so I'm petrified about the presumably shocked response when and if I did drop smth like that.
I'm not ready for that... I have really severe OCD (that the internet is making way worse with their anxious tendencies to interpret smth sinister into any and all fiction that is not happiness and rainbows. which seems new to me, idk where this mindset to read so deep into shit is suddenly coming from. I was here 2017-19, left for like 3 years and all of a sudden everybody's fallen off their rockers)
writing domestic stuff is too boring for me... there's gotta be gut-wrenching horrors and drama and tragedy and conflict!
none of this would be PG (which is what I assume you're asking for anyway) I'd just write smut with sprinkles of character studies and a pinch of comedy mayhaps, but I used to do that about 10 years ago and it was so bad. the way I describe these scenes comes off very plump and cringe
I... might. dip my toes into it later this year.
I'll drop a few ideas in the tags... maybe 2 ideas. very roughly. without spoilers, just in case.
my part of a design trade with @blurrymango !
he wanted me to make a dress for flug based on the foul flower hehe :)
I am... horrible at socializing. pathetic.
over the past months it feels like I finally gained sentience and realized that there's probably people who wanted to be friends with me. they obviously tried. I could have really strong close friendships now if I wasn't blind af
particularly between 2021-2023 and I never regretted anything more because I would love to be friends but now when I try to interact with them I genuinely feel like I'm too late
like people were always commenting on my posts, making art for me, sending me random things in DMs!! offering art trades and things and my dumbass was confused
like that's so nice but! why? what? huh?
I'm rereading messages and old twt/tumblr interactions like brother they're so painfully obviously showing you love they try everything to start a conversation with you right now
but unfortunately I'm a brick wall
absolutely impressive. that I didn't get that.
these trannys man…
this ask is like. a year old. nearly. I remember which art prompted that.
I usually wouldn't answer that, but I gotta give it to you anon you've baffled me. I'm stumped. bamboozled even if you dare to go that far.
I just cannot for the life of me figure out if this is an attempt at insulting me / my art (keyword: attempt)
or if this is meant in good faith, like he's confused but he's got the spirit
is this disappointment? swooning? how am I supposed to read that, I need clear instructions on my desk by 12
either way I made art for you. because if this is approval then you'll be really happy about this. if this is disapproval then it's spite and you can suck my ass
the OC version. honestly better than the edit bc of course it is. I poured my blood, sweat and tears into this
I participated in a fashion collab where my prompt was a Futuristic style and this took me quite literally a month or a bit more
technically with OCs but I'll put the OC version into a reblog. I made a Flug version for clickbait and because I'm insufferable about him
none of this makes sense, I just thought I would throw as many techy plastic-looking stuff with LEDs on him as possible. I'll put my inspiration in the tags. one of them was planes tho.

Now think about what he was listening to with headphones :D
I did the Thing
here's a lineart version bc I think it's interesting to see this time, I did a pretty good job!
don't mess up the call, Flug...
what are your pronouns
she/he, if you must; they, but I prefer picking one or switching between she and he
if it makes any sense, I want strangers to use she and close people (mutuals and higher) are free to choose she or he. sometimes I may even prefer he by friends.
uncomfortable with they (unless you just don't know at the start) as there is no third option in my native language
it's a work in progress
"How does he have sex with that?!"
not successfully, for sure. trying shit like this is how you end up with a top post on r/TIFU
cheater
oh nvm I put a slightly stronger white outline around the 2nd speech bubble and updated the post and I personally feel like that fixed it
"you need my blood for your experiments? get it yourself."
he's trying. he's really trying. and failing miserably.
alternative version?
idk. I couldn't decide. I feel like it's more atmospheric and impactful with the black background, but it's also slightly cluttered with it (or I just did it wrong. lbr I probably did it wrong.)
maybe I'll just try again, another page?

alt ver. of the last paperhatober prompt, when Black Hat first saw Flug's face [even tho this is platonic since it's joke art. it's based on a real person]
