Do any of your OCs have something named after them/in their honor, such as a street, building, food, or technology? If so, what is it, and why was it named in such a way?

There’s a difference between a female character who exists in a story and has a romantic relationship with a male character versus a female character who exists in a story to have a romantic relationship with a male character
This.
Chris and Luke-Lightsaber Training
In This Scene
Just some Star Wars fanart of my swashbuckling tyrannosaur Chris Carnovo and another lion character of mine, Luke King, practicing the art of the lightsaber in a galaxy far, far away. In the lore, there are seven classical styles or forms of lightsaber combat. Chris, the Jedi Battlemaster of his era, is a master of all seven forms, but his preferred form is the dueling-specialized Form II/Makashi, the same form as Count Dooku. Luke, meanwhile, is starting to explore Form VI/Niman, also known as “the diplomat’s form” due to its easy-to-learn, well-rounded bladework that makes it well-suited to learning dual-wielding.
Alt. Where Chris Ditches the Cape:
Behind the Scenes
I traced the poses from a screenshot of Anaking Skywalker dueling Count Dooku on Geonosis in Star Wars II: Attack of the Clones.
Chris exists in a couple different universes of mine, as do most of my characters. While his primary residence is my Disney fanfic WIP Swashbucklers of the Magic Kingdom, he takes on a guest role in the world of another WIP of mine, King of the Octagon, the story of my lion MMA fighter, Leo King. There, an older Chris is a history professor and part-time fencing coach who holds lessons at Ed’s Fight Club, which Leo manages for his father, Ed King. Chris is a mentor figure for Leo’s younger cousin, Luke, a teenage lion with an interest in fencing who’s just trying to survive the ups and downs of high school, so here I depicted them as Jedi Master and Padawan.

one of the primary issues in the Beauty Privilege discourse is that every word for beauty/attractiveness that we now use as synonyms used to, as recently as a half century ago, be very strongly-defined semantic sisters meaning different things. you find this out quickly when reading victorian novels. "attractive" for instance didn't refer to physical appearance, but "beauty" and "prettiness" did, but weren't synonyms of each other, either. "handsome" was distinct from "beauty" and both were used to refer to men and women but meaning different things. "charming" was something else. etc. this created a healthy semantic ecology where people had stronger self-identification with various categories. maybe you weren't beautiful but you were absolutely charming. maybe you were a handsome woman (these still exist thank GOD). in modernity it's all been flattened into "hot or not" which is a category error because it's far more subjective than more granular and numerous definitions
You can’t just tease us like this and not give us a glossary of beauty terms.

i'm aware that the introvert website might but the wrong audience BUT please tell me your default karaoke song in the tags (for bonus points also tell me the song you WISH you could sing at karaoke but it's too obscure for the karaoke booths to have)
Just had a Karaoke night last weekend and I sang “Shut Up and Dance.” Totally committed to the bit, too, air guitar and everything. I pointed the microphone at the audience once.
My friend did “Mr. Brightside.” It was awesome. We all sang along in the audience.
My other friend signed “The Boys” up and we all got up and sang “I Want It That Way” by Backstreet Boys. Highlight of the evening.

a lot of stuff happened but i'm choosing to remember 2025 as the year i found out people with green eyes exist irl
couple things:
- yes i spent my entire life until a few months ago assuming green eyes were an urban legend
- "what about all the fictional characters with green eyes" thought it was a trope like with anime protagonists having naturally purple hair
- i found out by watching Desperate Housewives (one of the actors has green eyes and it threw me off)
- (i had never watched Desperate Housewives until that point bc i assumed it was reality tv, of the same genre as Real Housewives Of Metropolitan Areas franchise)
- i still haven't seen green eyes irl, i am simply aware now that they actually exist
- "have you really never met a person with green eyes." i didn't say that. it's possible I've met dozens. my autistic ass has spent decades elevating eye contact avoidance to a sublime art form.
did more research and now I'm sort of leaning back to my original stance that green eyes don't actually exist? people say "green" but all i'm seeing is eyes that are blue-and-brown. can i get some example photos so i know what we're talking about???
I assume this is what people think of when they imagine green eyes. Whether they look green or not is mostly a lighting thing from what I've seen. I have gray eyes that can look green in the right light.
Green eyes are also the rarest eye color period, so I don't actually blame you for not knowing they existed at all.
these are just blue with brown/yellow mixed in? i have those type of eyes, i assume they're pretty common. definitely less rare than people with 100% blue eyes with no mix-ins
blue with yellow mixed in
and what do you get when you mix blue and yellow
ok listen
A (very) belated Christmas gift for @kingdomblade, author of the delightfully funny webcomic Lesser Than Three. Some of his characters have very different reactions to the cold, and I thought I’d depict that!
In This Scene
Wheeler Rockwell the polar bear was invited by Rory Donavan the husky to join him for a calisthenics workout in the park. By the looks of it, both of them have been working pretty hard. Their friends Elijah Staley the otter and Annie Goldwin the red panda were walking by, coincidentally, and Eli decides to tease friends about their natural immunity to the weather. Annie, meanwhile, who can’t wait to get back to her place for some hot chocolate and a nice, cozy fire, stares dumbfounded at her friends’ apparent insanity.
Behind the Scenes
@kingdomblade draws a disproportionate amount of my suggestions in his Suggestion Box on Patreon, so I decided that he deserved some fanart from me in return.
This took a while. I traced the poses and the pull-up bar for Rory and Wheeler, but everything else came from my imagination. I rarely draw this many characters, let alone a background, but I’m pleased with myself for putting in the effort and the final result is exactly what I had in mind.
Hope you enjoy, @kingdomblade, and thank you for being an inspiration to the rest of us!

Anonymous asked:
How does a knight continue to strive towards the ideals of chivalry knowing they fall short? How does a knight press onward in their duty, knowing they are giving their all, while bearing the weight of knowing there was more they should have done, or things they should have done differently? Can a knight be a knight when the ideal they strive to be will always be out of their reach because of some fatal flaw? How does a knight fight on when the evil to be conquered lies within the very human heart?
Same reason this knight has not killed themselves yet despite being depressed and fatalistic at times:
You have to be too determined to even consider giving up. Because the fatal flaw only wins if you are dead. Until then, it's another obstacle to overcome.
So we could do more? We can always do more. Not reaching perfection is no sin; not trying anyway is. It's alright to do enough good that we say "that's enough", and entrust the rest to others. If you slay a dragon, you don't need to then look for every criminal in the kingdom, you've already done your part.
If knights in history can be wicked and still be knights, we can be knights without being inhuman paragons of goodness.

He's existed since 2015 and I've drawn him about 37 times, but I'm pretty sure this is the first time I've ever drawn Markus shirtless! This is based off of a photo ref I found for practice. I followed the photo ref somewhat closely, and gave Markus a thinner version of the physique that Nes and Tem have, with slimmer arms and torso, and a flatter chest.
A version of notes I made on this, and progress shots of the sketch, are on my Patreon! 🦦✨ To find where else I am: https://linktr.ee/temiree
Always love a good anatomy study! Also, we need more Markus--he seems like a cool character! Also, thanks to the progress notes, I now need to work on adding in folds on their stomachs (either their own muscles/skin or their shirts) when they're sitting down.
“See, Kopa? This is why we don’t pay our bills in cursed Aztec gold.”
“Alright, Chris, ye’ve made yer point. Now, about that refund…”
In This Scene
Staying with Chris and André teaches Kopa some oddly specific life lessons, courtesy of Captain Hector Barbossa’s poor life choices.
Chris and André supplement their income as fencing masters and fight choreographers by turning their fencing hall, Jeronimo’s, into a restaurant and bar most evenings. Located in New Orleans Square, the two former privateers’ main customers tend to be the various pirates they’ve gotten to know and train with over the years. But while Chris is willing to do “Anything for a friend,” he and André still need to make a living, and if you choose to curse yourself by stealing ancient Aztec blood money and then use it to pay your bar tab, that’s a “you” problem.
But Chris is willing to help Barbossa find “clean” buried treasure to square up the tab in exchange for the spent Aztec medallions…
Be the Scenes
I’m proud of how Skeleton!Barbossa turned out. And that I put in the extra effort to draw four characters.

As a scientist, I have made Tem’s exact face on multiple occasions in the lab—that’s a very accurate depiction of the “Something went haywire” face.
