"Doug Walker" sounds like the name of an ace attorney character who witnessed a murder while petsitting a shih tzu

[aggiepython]

been considering making suzi aromantic. she has quite the tumultuous relationship with her sort-of-girlfriend martine. they started out as friends with benefits (she's aromantic but definitely not asexual, i think if they were less sexually compatible they would not have stuck together as long as they did) and eventually end up sort-of-dating although they argue and break up and get together again constantly and neither of them are good at communicating what they want from a relationship. suzi is also pretty commitment-phobic and struggles with being emotionally close to people. after a few years they do break up permanently and it's really for the best.

also suzi has no idea that she's aro and probably would not figure it out until several years down the line. she is very much not a self-aware person. i think she's uncomfortable with the idea of being someone's girlfriend but doesn't know why and ends up pushing martine away. i was a bit worried that it would come across like suzi was intentionally leading martine on which i don't want. my original conception for martine was that she was a relatively innocent party whom suzi was shitty towards but i figured her personality out more and she ended up becoming just as shitty. i like that it feels more even this way and not like martine is suzi's victim. i think suzi is more overtly mean but martine stirs up just as much drama and can be quite passive-aggressive and moralizing.

Bumping My Novella

TMWWWBSASATWI: An Illustrated Novella by Beany Tuesday

Post Perfect Tides 2 malaise has me feeling unwell about my own successes as a creator, so I'm bumping my illustrated novella again to remind myself of the potential for pathos in humanism in my own works. If you're a real beanhead, and you haven't read it, I think you'll enjoy it. Few years old now, not perfect, but it's the last project of this scale that I accomplished. Maybe I'm overdue for another one-- something's gotta give

Funniest thing that could happen in trans Arthur timeline is that John decides he’s still gay. Sorry Arthur, you transed yourself out of that relationship

As much as I love Arthur being a little freak that's into murder and psycho-sexual mind games, I think Arkayne being 1000% one sided is infinitely funnier. This eldritch god that litterally traveled all dimensions on a murder spree to make sure he was the only Kayne in the multiverse, can change reality at will and he's just like. Sitting in bed kicking his feet writing in his diary about a man that only thinks of him as a vauge nuisance. Spending all his time orchestrating Situations to continue their ~complicated love affair~ and Arthur just thinks he's kinda gross and weird no matter what

t4t arkayne yuri (design notes under the cut)

my kayne design is already pretty androgynous (i could give him a slightly more feminine face and body and maybe a bit more makeup and we'd be set) but i wanted to mix it up a bit. for a man, a suit is such an aggressively normal item of clothing and it really contrasts with... well everything else about kayne. (the blood, the lack of shoes, the general derangement.) but for a woman in the 1930's, a suit would be rather avant-garde and eclectic. so i decided to go with a nice sleek black evening gown.

the scary long nails and bloody hands that at first glance look like gloves are other examples of "normie fashion but terrifyingly warped". also i didn't give her the long noodly curly hair that a lot of people give kayne... partially because when i tried, she looked really similar to a professor i had and it was weirding me out. couldn't resist giving her a lil forehead curl. anyway i think fem kayne has the vibe of a slightly-too-tipsy aunt at a party who doesn't understand personal space.

i chose the font party LET for kayne's speech... it's such a horrid obnoxious tacky font, i think it's very kayne-appropriate. my first thought was curlz mt but i think this one is more fitting.

the partridge pea collective has become too powerful, so I have to cut holes in it to allow my other plants a chance to survive. that's a flag pawpaw in there

wonderful malapropism from my coworker: "stir-fry crazy"

One of my all-time favorite Worm moments still has to be when Taylor meets Scapegoat. They trade injuries, he goes “you’re fucking blind?!” and spends the rest of the chapter being dragged around by his teammates while Taylor looks on thinking “I wonder if his power makes the damage worse for him?” Meanwhile she’s in so much less pain than before that she describes the feeling as euphoric.

portrait of @photozoi's silken windhound mung bean... more info under the cut

i'm hoping to paint all 3 beans, i already did a portrait of fava bean, adzuki bean will be done soonish hopefully. i referenced this image of him, i started this piece in november and he's gotten so much larger in the meantime! mung beans are legumes (in the family fabaceae), and all the plants in the background are legumes too. fabaceae is a very large and diverse family. starting from the top clockwise: umbrella thorn acacia (Vachellia tortilis) false indigo bush (Amorpha fruticosa) chaparral bird's-foot trefoil (Acmispon grandiflorus) white clover (Trifolium repens) sundial lupine (Lupinus perennis) redbud (Cercis glabra) the font is edda normal, it's so swoopy and beautiful. AURORA, a musician i like, used it for some of her recent promotional material and i was so happy to find out what font it was. this piece was art nouveau-inspired, especially the frame.
