Quick Q/A:

Why is your inbox only ever opened temporarily?

For the sake of boundaries. I’ve had a few instances of followers becoming quite parasocial and spamming my inbox.

What’s your professional work?

Take a peek here!

What’s the Blog’s Rating?

I have it in my descriptor, but this is an 18+ blog. I discuss things like sexuality and many adult themes in both my fandom and artistic endeavors. While I believe it’s healthy to learn these things as you grow up, it’s best to do that on your own, rather than entering adult spaces. It’s safer for all parties involved.

Wanted to make something for pride, but kinda wanted until the end of the month on purpose to make it a point that it can be Pride Month all summer if you want it to be!

*sees followers influx*

Where did you all come from.

Okay now that the finale is out there is something that has been genuinely bugging the hell out of me.

Not everyone comes out of the Closet right away; or frankly even FAST. This is the aspect I wish more people retained as someone that took a long time to both get/accept my own identity, and have grown up with trans folks that have taken a long time to come out and accept that they are trans to begin with!

So many are just BLATANTLY ignoring the fact that Jax in or out the circus ISN’T READY. It’s perfectly fine and doesn’t make Jax any less valid as trans! Not everyone comes out right away, or accepts who they are just right off the bat. For some people it genuinely takes a long time, and it’s a slow progression of for example telling a close select of people but not wanting the desired pronouns to be open just yet, to maybe slowly letting yourself open up to that and letting little by little the people around you start to steadily either shift pronouns from x to they, to they/xx, to finally xx.

Jax first came out to the one person who should have loved and accepted him/her (using both pronouns because given the situation it calls for it I think, but I use it in reference to the fact that Jax in show never uses the pronouns and didn’t feel comfortable about it just yet but still fully acknowledging the obvious that Jax IS transfem of course) and instead that person FULLY used that coming out against them and as a manipulation tactic on top of it—OF COURSE Jax wasn’t going to be open/accepting of their true self after that shit, his/her mother basically went in and (likely intentionally) made him/her extremely uncomfortable about that part of him/herself. You’d be surprise just how often of an intentional tactic that is among bigoted parents/people.

It’s sickening, and it fully explains where he learned the behavior he had throughout the show.

Jax deserved/deserves to accept who he/she was and is at their own pace, just like everyone else. Unfortunately for in-canon circus Jax, he/she will never never get that chance and seeing the steady transition happening for the real world Jax is a sign that if he/she somehow came back from Abstracting, he/she would be on that same path.

It’s tragic, that’s the point.

I’d been cooking this one up for a while and I’m glad I got it done in time for the finale! If there is enough interest I may open my inbox so questions can be asked about him. :]

Detective Blue — ██iver &@**h€%w$

Age: 47

A detective that was childhood friends with ▊▊▊▊▊▊ [Circus Name: Ragatha], at one point being a long-term couple before he one day lost contact with her entirely.

He was investigating the disappearance of ▊▊▊▊▊ ▊▊▊▊ [Circus Name: Pomni] in 2024 after her mother persistently called the police requesting for progression on the case. After being honorably discharged from the army due to the loss of his legs, the detective was moved to work at the cold case desk when he returned home; before then he was once considered a prolific investigator.

He sensed that he was passed the case simply to appease the mother of the missing woman, and had decided to take an active approach—whether because he felt it was the right thing to do, or to prove to himself and the department that he could do more than being delegated to the cold case desk is not really known; even to himself.

For reasons that nobody in the Digital Circus can understand, Blue put on the headset to allow a digital copy to be made despite the warning labels and videos Pomni and the others had set to pop up on the computer. Perhaps, if his avatar is anything to go by, Blue truly did not have much of a life outside of his investigations.

Or maybe he’s just that crazy.

YOU KNOW WHAT. HAPPY FUCKIN PRIDE 🌈🏳️‍🌈 TAKE MORE OUT OF CONTEXT DYSON AND TREV EXCEPT ITS 😌✨ Ya (aka content warning of suggestiveness heheh lmao)

[artmunstudios]

Ah hell with it lets throw in this batch too in the art comps I’ve been posting!

[artmunstudios]

Oc lineup of some humans! I’ll make proper profile lineups sometime but I wanted to force myself to draw initial designs before making any character sheets this time.

From Left to Right it’s; Dr. Hopper, Nap, Detective Blue, Angel, and Eclair!

This show’s style was definitely the hardest to study since there aren’t a lot of 2D references to go off of (that I could find anyways) and the style is intentionally somewhat inconsistent/disjointed between characters. That and simple artstyles are just not my friend man this is the most I’ve restrained myself in that department.

Below the cut is all the doorplates I could find with the show as well as the doorplates for the ocs here of course! It’s in what I have guessed to be the order of arrival of each character based on the context clues etc. Each line is sort of a “generation”. The last row are arrivals that popped into the circus post Ep. 9

[artmunstudios]

Oop nearly forgot the oc batch—

[artmunstudios]

Not sure if I posted this either! Its an old ARCANE X TRON style mix study I started but ultimately categorized as a failure for the lack of texture that was in it and the styling of the hair.

[artmunstudios]

Apparently I made this like almost two years ago.

I have absolutely no idea why.

[artmunstudios]

I don’t know if I ever posted these…concepts of an idea I had about actually exploring the concept of a Mascot Horror Game protagonist ACTUALLY adopting the mascots. It’s set during the 70s with the mascots being from a show that ran from the 30s to 50s (if I’m remembering it right???)

Inspired from BATIM (because duh) concept wise but the story itself is actually inspired from the BONE comics if any of you folks here are old enough to remember that.

[artmunstudios]

All the 9x5 stuff I’ve got (I???? Is that all of it???) with some 5 bonuses and a WIP I’ll never finish WHEEZE—

[artmunstudios]

Lookit dat.

Look at all thems 9s.
