boy i sure do love a character who is playing a Character. a character who you have to basically forcefully cut open to get a glimpse of who they actually are. bonus points if they themselves have no fucking clue because theyve been pretending for so long theyve forgotten who they are when theyre not
a WIP of my d&d character Moss from last nights session <3 I’ve started using a noise filter on my top layer and It’s definitely my new favorite way to get a good paper texture. I also just finished my first week of my last semester of Undergrad!!! I’m going into crunch time finishing my bachelors art thesis and gallery exhibition, and can’t wait to post more work from my studios alongside digital stuff. I’m considering making TikTok’s while I throw, but the prospect of filming a TikTok around my coworkers is horrifyingly awkward so we’ll see lmao

Assembling some more from the notes:

Waiting for Blorbot

"Um," said the fairy. "Choose something else."
Rosamund hesitated. It was, she had to admit, the first time she had ever been given a wish, so she wasn't an expert with this sort of thing, but she felt that this was not part of the typical script. "Sorry," she said. "Is that not allowed?"
The fairy grimaced. When it spoke, its voice came out pained and stressed. "Y-y-y-e-e-e-no," it sighed at last, dragonfly wings sagging. "No, technically no, it's not not allowed, but-" It suddenly brightened. "How about gold? Can't go wrong with gold. Gold's a good wish."
Rosamund frowned. This was really not going the way she expected at all. "Excuse me-"
"Beauty, that's a good one too, beauty's always popular," it went on. "And if there's a ball nearby tonight I can probably-"
"Excuse me!"
The wand was twiddled in chitinous fingers. "Right," the fairy said, sounding scolded. "Sorry, it's just..." Its voice trailed off.
Her grandmother's clock chimed midnight from the mantelpiece.
Then - "I'm sorry," it said, not daring to look up, "I know it's not fair, but - you know what I am. You know what we do to wishes. If you wished for wealth I'd have to turn your hair into silver, so you’d have to tear every strand out of your head before you could spend it. We can't help it. It's what we do. The cost of a wish is that you get what you want, but you don't get it the easy way.
"So if you wish for a child, it'll be - strange. Twisted, somehow. Made of pine or marzipan or have the head of a hedgehog. That's the cost of a wish-child; you'll get the child you wished for, but it'll never be - right."
Rosamund waited to see if there was anything else. She felt a sting to her pride when she realized there wasn't. "Is that all?" she said. "I wouldn't care what I got-"
"You all say that," the fairy said. "You all say you wouldn't care what you got. You all say it, and you really believe it, until the neighbours sneer at you and your hedgehog child for too long, or your back aches because your thumb-high child can't help you in the fields, or your pine child kicks and bites and won't obey, and then you think, 'This isn't the way it was supposed to be,' and then..."
The fairy stopped and looked into Rosamund’s eyes. It was a beautiful thing, all glittering carapace and iridescent wings, but just for an instant it looked terribly, terribly old.
"I'm sorry," it said. "But I'm tired of making unloved children."

Has this been done before? If yes, this is my take on it lol
Edit: Since this is getting a lot of traction... if you may be interested in more Gachiakuta work from me: I'm working on an seinen-ish AU: @gachiau-genesis

I can’t speak for other social media webbed sites but I really enjoy how tumblr seems to just completely spin a wheel on whatever media is hot right now. Like yeah sometimes it’s a new show that’s big and actively coming out but also sometimes there will be a solid month where half my dash is Columbo memes. Defy authority. Get really into an book from the 1800s. Watch shows that haven’t aired in 40 years. Celebrate the anniversary of the Boston Molasses Flood. Become unmarketable
oh shit i almost missed it!
Molasses Flood Day!
thank you yes, I did need this today
amateur detective who solves crimes out of curiosity and then just. doesn't bother to tell anyone the identity of the perpetrator
armchair detective who investigates objectively funny and morally correct crimes so they can help the perp cover their tracks
bystander who accidentally observes the protagonist commiting a felony and just...quietly walks off stage. they're no narc and frankly? not their business
For anyone who wants this exact premise, told like an Agatha Christie-esque mystery combined with Silver-Age style masked vigilantes, check out Lavender Jack.
One of my favorite comics of all time, with gorgeous art, themes of power, wealth, law, justice, and corruption. With incredible characters who bond and grow as the series progresses, including some amazingly well-written villains. With a dash of Steampunk sci-fi for good measure.
so I've been reading this and it FUCKS SEVERELY
