writing prompt: sticky fingers, fantasy, fight scene

prompted by a someone on LINE chat group.

first fic for our original works that we post here and it has to be dodgy material. Sigh.

experiment with thin lineart and screentone effects.

Jules has akinestopsia from time to time, usually triggered when he is under stress. In the previous timeline, it eventually became permanent.

we love all our characters with sensory processing disorders.

All pieces for the MapleStory Tarot Collab are in! The webpage (that contains descriptions and larger images) for this can be found at http://mapletarot.weebly.com/.

Thank you to all 22 of you who have joined mod Marcien in this amazing party! I hope it was a fun project for us all.

i refuse to accept Beta wearing zettai ryouiki, it is illogical for a warrior. Unlimited panty flashes. Leggings work better.

i always refer to Beta as waifu, and then suddenly i thought: If Beta is waifu and Alpha another her, does that mean Alpha is husbando? What an annoying thought, but we’ll have to accept it. Mum always says Alpha reminds her of us because he flies all over the damn screen like he has ADHD.

batch of siblings sketches.

  1. Jann, Chen and Yuan. Jann (eldest) detests Chen (youngest, with turtle plush toy) but is fond of Yuan (middle child). Chen is just a weird kid, so it is understandable. Yuan is usually a headstrong and clever woman, but she completely spoils her younger brother. Of the three siblings, Jann looks most like their mum while Yuan looks most like their dad. Chen’s weirdness is 100% inherited from paternal grandma and 300% inherited from mum.
  2. Knox and Lynn? I think those are their names. @artofgamingreader‘s characters. I guess this is exams encouragement giftart. =DD Your sibling’s hair is always more fun to play with than your own. (Now you know what we do to our sisters.)
  3. Blaze and Earnest. They get along very well, but also fought very often. Earnest (younger brother, polydactyl) is usually quiet and keeps to himself, yet when with Blaze (older brother) he holds nothing back. He does say a lot of things that tick people off, and Blaze reacts because he is just simple-minded like that. Blaze really isn’t very smart, so Earnest gets frustrated with him often. Because both inherited pyrokinesis from their father, their fights end up destroying property when they were kids. Their dad got super mad and they were banned from creating fire anywhere within 20 metres of each other. So when they are teens, they fight normally by shouting.
  4. (got lazy with hatching here. Also, tablet stealthily reset and screwed up the mapping so this drawing sucks.) Nemesis and Dorothea (Chernon). Although Cher is adopted/kidnapped as a baby, they are very close sisters. After Dora loses her eyesight, she uses Nemi as her guide dog. She does have magic adaptations to scan her environment with, but it much more fun to hang on to the arm of your elder sister!

Ghost Swap gift for @tentokki! The prompt is: Lynne, Kamila, Missile and Sissel hanging out. Thanks to @fyeahghosttrick for their efforts in organising this.

It would be his last night here, Ray thinks. When this last night is over, everything will go forward to how it should be. His incandescent bulb dims and the creaking of his joints grow silent. He hears the repetitive tune of the star singing, takes in the smell of the roast chicken, and is pleased to note that both his mistresses are alive and well, and his friend with him this time.
What a nice dream! He saved them just the way a good doggie would. You’re welcome!

ms art dump 4. (part 1, 2 and 3.)

  1. prompted by @nicname. Xenon and Bitterbot. My favourite character in Black Heaven is Bitterbot.
  2. mum requested for Magnus. In her words “If you can draw Magnus you will be able to draw any hot guy.” Whut, mum. Your son has an objection.
  3. Black Heaven Act 5: When Irvin and Nineheart are following you around. Irvin: Is that a skirt you are wearing? Nineheart: To put it simply, it has a similar structure. (some time later…) Irvin: Just to assure you, I will always go up ahead of you on ladders. Nineheart: Hmm? Why so? Irvin: No, it’s all right, nevermind. a few maps later, THREE MEMBERS OF THE RESISTANCE ARE FOLLOWING BEHIND NINEHEART. Even on ladders.

dump of folklore AU doodles.

  1. Lucia – Changeling, ghost and haunted house.
  2. Luminous – Domovoi. A younger him who is a lot less of a jerk
  3. Mercedes – Lamia (lake siren).
  4. 63!Aran – Barghest. As a shapeshifter, Aran has a male form too. Throwback to when Aran did not have a canon gender yet hurhur.
  5. 63!Phantom – Leanan Sidhe. As a fae whose life is dependent on human love, i headcanon that Phantom can change genders. After all, why limit yourself to only half of the human population? Though, he mostly takes on female form to piss Mercedes off.
  6. I have apparently drawn enough PhanAria to sink our mum’s PhanMerc ship. She now believes that Phantom won’t be able to get over Aria so it isn’t possible for him to be in another relationship. Sorry mum.
  7. bonus Zero – FengHuang still in their egg.

ms themed vent art part 3. (part 1 and 2 also exist.)

  1. Alpha and Beta getting ready for a day together. Headcanon that they are asexual, because Rhinne reproduced asexually (lol). So they aren’t conscious of themselves around each other at all. Here i suppose they are discussing Dello’s homework for them.        “Hey Alpha, about that history reading assignment yesterday...”        “Yea?”        “Why did Dello say there are five heroes, when we read about six at the Grand Athenaeum?        “Uh... Maybe Dello’s textbooks are out of date...?”
  2. EunWol looked back at library one last time. It’s all right, I will move on from here.
  3. There is insufficient fanservice for Commander Lucid.

MapleStory – Tarot Arcanas

i am not one who’s much for tarot card readings, but for Persona games? Heck yes. Descriptions for the arcana shamelessly taken from SMT Wikia with additional descriptions from my friend hurhurhur. These are just a personal take, readers may agree or disagree, because we are clearly not an expert on divination.

(Sengoku characters are not included because… Well, hard to fit them into canon.)

0: The Fool – Zero The Fool represents innocence, divine inspiration, madness, freedom, spontaneity, inexperience, chaos, and creativity. Symbolizes an individual beginning or in the process of a great journey. The Fool knows not what is ahead and has no plans or destinations; instead, picking these up along the way.

Apart from the obvious connection that Zero is, well, 0, The Fool arcana fits them because they are on their hero’s journey, and as a transcendent, they still have a long way to go. They are still inexperienced of the ways of humans and it looks like the corruption in them (placed upon by Will) isn’t completely resolved either.

I: The Magician – Evan The Magician Arcana is commonly associated with action, initiative, self-confidence, manipulation and power (more specifically, the power to harness one’s talents). The ability to bring what you desire into reality.

Evan is very driven, and takes up his predecessor’s heavy mantle willingly. He knows what has to be done and does his best to gather the heroes to protect their world. Nihal Desert, where he uncovers Abraxas, is shown in the background as the place where Evan comes to the decision to lead the heroes into fulfilling their role as the Heroes of Maple.

II: The High Priestess – Rhinne The Priestess Arcana is a symbol of hidden knowledge or other untapped power, wisdom, female mystery and patience.

Before there was any plot in MapleStory, we have always seen statues of Rhinne in Time Temple. As more Legend/Heroes classes and the Demon class were released, the stories unveil more of Rhinne’s involvement in their battle against the Black Mage, and the mystery surrounding her unravels. Despite being sealed by him all along, she was still able to lend her powers to help Freud create the seal for Black Mage.​ While still sealed, Rhinne bided her time with patience and entrusted her role to her successors.

Hiyo! This is a thing for like the two people who follow me for maplestory. @martianunicorn (go check out his stuff it’s p. rad!) and I made an AU blog for MS and you guys should go look at it! I drew most of the designs and he drew the rest of them and wrote the story! It’s a folktale AU and all of the characters have their own little story that we will add to here and there as time goes on. Check it! @mapletales
