In One Of Bonchovy's Voice Lines It Sounds Like She's Saying Yaoi.

after about five minutes of research (aka going into my game and looking at the possible gifts for the four base monster girls)

none of the monster girls have outfits. only animated poses.

TAKE ME AWAY FROM THIS CRUEL WORLD

i'm gonna start screaming WHYYYYY

i'm trying to draw nightingale from crush crush, and i like doing collages first to get a feel for the character

SHE HAS NO SPECIAL OUTFITS

NOTHING

does no one like our avian queen????

So my problem with most ‘get to know your character’ questioneers is that they’re full of questions that just aren’t that important (what color eyes do they have) too hard to answer right away (what is their greatest fear) or are just impossible to answer (what is their favorite movie.)  Like no one has one single favorite movie. And even if they do the answer changes.

If I’m doing this exercise, I want 7-10 questions to get the character feeling real in my head. So I thought I’d share the ones that get me (and my students) good results: 

What is the character’s go-to drink order? (this one gets into how do they like to be publicly perceived, because there is always some level of theatricality to ordering drinks at a bar/resturant)

What is their grooming routine? (how do they treat themselves in private)

What was their most expensive purchase/where does their disposable income go? (Gets you thinking about socio-economic class, values, and how they spend their leisure time)

Do they have any scars or tattoos? (good way to get into literal backstory) 

What was the last time they cried, and under what circumstances? (Good way to get some *emotional* backstory in.) 

Are they an oldest, middle, youngest or only child? (This one might be a me thing, because I LOVE writing/reading about family dynamics, but knowing what kinds of things were ‘normal’ for them growing up is important.)

Describe the shoes they’re wearing. (This is a big catch all, gets into money, taste, practicality, level of wear, level of repair, literally what kind of shoes they require to live their life.)

Describe the place where they sleep. (ie what does their safe space look like. How much (or how little) care / decoration / personal touch goes into it.)

What is their favorite holiday? (How do they relate to their culture/outside world. Also fun is least favorite holiday.) 

What objects do they always carry around with them? (What do they need for their normal, day-to-day routine? What does ‘normal’ even look like for them.) 

I can't not repost this, it's magnificent

Literally all of The Shadowhunter Chronicle romances are completely unhinged it’s not even funny (I lied, it’s very funny). Here’s just some examples:

William “Will” Herondale/James “Jem” Carstairs + Theresa “Tessa” Gray: It totally would have been a vee type polyamorous situation if it wasn’t for all the death and 1800s London society going on.

Henry Branwell + Charlotte Fairchild: How dare this misogynistic society put us together, I mean, we wanted to get together anyway, but not for those reasons. Welp, time to be as unconventional as possible.

Gabriel Lightwood + Cecily Herondale: Look, you made fun of my sister, it’s only fair that I marry your sister; that’s the rules.

Gideon Lightwood + Sophia “Sophie” Collins: Dad, I have a perfectly valid reason to betray you and go to the other side. What your doing is wrong and – nO tHiS haS nOThiNG to do wiTh tHeIR mAid wHy wOUlD yoU eVEn sAy tHat?

Jesse Blackthorn + Lucie Herondale: Your request to not be brought back to life has been denied, deal with it.

James “Jamie” Herondale + Cordelia Carstairs: He didn’t commit arson we were just having sex – why are you all looking at me like that’s worse?

Anna Lightwood + Ariadne Bridgestock: Listen, there’s a lot of society going on right now, so we’re going to have to get together in secret. Oh, you don’t want to? Okay, never mind, fuck society, let me win you back real quick.

Christopher Lightwood + Grace Cartwright: Oh good, you broke into my house, now we can talk about science.

Thomas Lightwood + Alastair Carstairs: I’d really like to hate you, but I think the biggest problem with that is that I love you. Once I get over that hurdle, I think we’ll be in the clear.

Lucian “Luke” Graymark + Jocelyn Fairchild: Good job on us for breaking away from the genocidal cult run by our best friend/husband; we should hook up, you know, as a reward.

Jonathan “Jace” Herondale + Clarissa “Clary” Fairchild: Ayo the same guy conducted experiments on our blood, that’s crazy; btw so glad we’re not actually siblings.

Alexander “Alec” Lightwood + Magnus Bane: Marrying each other is against the law? Okay, fine, I’m a law biding citizen. Oh oops, I made it legal. I am the law now, and I want a wedding on the beach.

Simon Lovelace + Isabelle Lightwood: It makes sense to have our engagement party on the day of my brother’s death, that’s when we really started bonding.

Helen “Alessa” Blackthorn + Aline Penhallow: Well, I guess we’re going to go in exile together. Yes, I said together; your exile is my exile, what’s mine is yours and what’s yours is mine, that’s how relationships work.

Julian Blackthorn + Emma Carstairs: Yes, it’s a technical war crime to love each other, but the law itself is not really our main concern about it.

Kieran Hunter + Mark “Miach” Blackthorn + Cristina Rosales: We’re really living that cottage core aesthetic, and all we had to do to get here was do a small war and some amnesia. Worth it.

Gwyn ap Nudd + Diana Wrayburn: I’m going to stand by just in case something happens, but it probably won’t, she knows what she’s doing – WHY IS SHE JUMPING OUT THE TENTH STORY WINDOW OH MY GOD WAIT

Tiberius “Ty” Blackthorn + Christopher “Kit” Herondale: We take cosplaying Sherlock and Watson VERY seriously, so of course we needed to go to all the most illegal places, it’s only natural.

Ash Morgenstern + Drusilla “Dru” Blackthorn: So anyway I saw them in a sort of fever dream like state this one time and they’ve still been on my mind for years.

That was hidden in the tags. I- agree (maybe(maaaaaybe(okay yeah)))

realistic conversation between me and my brother

yall know the drill, i drew again! sketch, colors, drawing, full page

i had to use a turtle to weight down the page, he's make of snowflake obsidian.

Drawing Nightingale was a challenge and A HALF because of the lack of resources. Making the collage was worse, considering there's practically no characters named Nightingale. :(

But, she came out great in the end, and i really love her. HEAD CANNON TIME! She's definitely got wider shoulders than hips, because of the arm wing things. Therefore, i built her like a door :3. She's definitely a lot tanner, which i tried to show as best i could. Also, since she's part bird part human, and bird don't have boobs, i gave her smaller boobs. Physics, i think.

i have nothing else to add, so enjoy!

ARRRRRGHHGGHUUUUGHHGGRHAGGGAGGAGHHHUUUUHHHVHCOOOOOOOOAHHGUUHAH

her top is a golden organza, and her bottom is just regular fabric.

I made her mid/plus size bc she's a love goddess and most goddesses are bigger

for ships I didn't write any because i had no room, but Pamu has been with everyone

I might update with more info i am tired

update: her head is too small and I've realized I hate her

im back on my EAH shit

Afternoon Stroll

The wives taking their girlfriend on an afternoon walk 🫶🏻 inspired by my most recent fic I Kissed A Girl. Basically a ‘what-if’ Briar was put to sleep one-hundred years ago and was kissed awake by Darling on accident, resulting in them being married before ever attending Ever After High.

I never thought Briarling could be so soft, but it is. And the Brapple/Dappling yearning is crazy.

This is just a sketch, I kinda want to clean it up but I’m so lazy and I don’t have the energy today. So please enjoy them 🥹

OH MY GOD. CASSIA X MYRO ARE THE BEST. AHHHH

Myro and Cassia!

Cassia and her greatest treasure 🩷🩷🩷

Their dates include stealing, hoarding, and looking at shiny things

I've been rotating them in my head for a week.
