ty for letting me draw your magical girl!
Like my work? Consider commissioning me!
Look at this cutie 0llie drew for me! It's Kristina!
This isn't exactly her canonical design, but I will definitely be taking inspiration from it when making hers and the others' outfits! It's so cute! Soon I'll be drawing an OC of 0llie's in return and I'll post that here too!
hm yes i like this character. now shoot him 5 times in a parking lot.
Haven't updated here in a while but I'm constantly thinking about it, trying to work out the story in my head.
There's a lot I haven't decided on yet. I need to sit down and outline some things sometime or draw some of the concepts I have
I hate femininity depicted as a chore. I love femininity depicted as addictive. As seductive. Constantly pulling you towards it. Can you resist? Can you maintain your fragile masculinity? Wouldn't you be happier if you just let go? The change is inevitable. But the character doesn't know that yet. So they make little concessions. Give in a little bit. They can still back out, surely. But everyone around them is already mentally changing their pronouns
What if you just looked down, saw it (pretending not to realize what it was), and screamed? Idk but the video is fucking amazing
testing this does this work ok???
(mind the volume it’s heavy metal)
for those of yall asking about the music, it was absolute hell to get bc i have 0XP in editing music so i just searched the tiktok database for sounds with “metal sailor moon” and this is what I got
“And the lord said unto them:
Fuck around not, lest ye find out.
And yea, thou shalt catch these hands.
-Kimber 20:20”
no problem!! also “brass knuckles but for magical girls” has GOT to be the best description I’ve seen in a while and my God you’re right - the art is epic (and the music is weirdly perfect). Thanks for sharing!!
based the whole thing around this image which i once reblogged with the tag “moon prism violence”
Hey I'm still alive, just have been having a lotta mental and physical health stuff going on. I did finally decide on some names for the characters, though! As well as a bit of personalities!

The wand user is named Ethel Hart. Xe works very hard at school, and xir biggest fear is being seen as a failure. Xe works a bit too hard to avoid that, which may eventually cause burnout. Xe doesn't have a special interest, but rather, cycles through sort-term hyperfixations on various nonfiction topics to read about. As such, if xir memory is functioning right, xe has approximate knowledge of several things. Buuuut xe has an issue of getting facts mixed up in xir head sometimes due to swapping interests so often.
For example, xe can tell you some fun facts about spiders if you encounter one, buuuut xe might forget which ones are poisonous. Perhaps the three are fighting a snake monster. Are its bites poisonous? Was it round or diamond heads that have pois- whoops too late, Chrissy got bit. Guess Ethel'll find out which it was soon enough.
Xe lives in a college dorm as xe desperately tries to figure out what xe wants to major in for xir bachelor's degree. There's so many choices! There's so much stuff to learn! Deciding on just one stresses xir out.

Bear arms/hands user is Christina "Chrissy" Robinson. She is mute, and uses an AAC device to communicate with others. She does know sign language, but only really uses it at home when she doesn't have her AAC with her, such as if it's dead or she left it on the couch when going to grab some food.
She lives with her sister, Pauline (Polly), who acts as her caregiver and helps her out whereever she can. Their mom is a doctor, and isn't home a lot. She pays Polly to help care for Chrissy since Chrissy has trouble with certain things. The two girls have only recently moved to town to be closer to their mom's workplace.
I'm thinking I might have Chrissy's dyspraxia be rough. Like... She has difficulty balancing when going up and down steps, trouble gripping small objects like forks and pencils and such, and she tends to either drop things or grasp them too hard. She also tends to fall a lot, if not careful.
I'm flip flopping between weather or not she minds eye contact, but anyway,
Due to her dyspraxia she has difficulty doing certain things like cooking, cleaning, bathing, and other things. Her sister helps her as needed, and Chrissy also has some devices and tools that help her out. For example, a spoon with a thick handle that's easier for her to grasp, with a mechanism to help itself stay balanced even if her hand goes shakey. I'm not sure what else though! If anyone has ideas, let me know. Perhaps a cane would be helpful? Idk. My dyspraxia isn't that severe, so I'd like to hear some from those who struggle with it more than me!
As for Christina's personality, she's sarcastic, blunt, and she's a bit abrasive when it comes to interacting with new people. She doesn't trust easily. Growing up she was bullied a lot and had some friends betray her trust, so now she's a bit standoffish with new people as a sort of defense mechanism. Friends can't betray you if you have none, right? People can't attack your insecurities if you hide them behind enough false confidence, right?
She read the words "fake it til you make it" and she FELT that shit. In junior year of high school, she started closing herself off, whilst putting on a show of false confidence. She began insulting people back when they made fun of her, and eventually they seemed to shut up and stop bothering her. So that's been her strategy for the last few years.
As such, she might be a bit of an asshole at the start. It'll take some work for her to open up to working with the other two. Knowing her she'd probably try to go it alone several times and get her ass kicked hard a few times before begrudgingly admitting she needs their help.
Maybe as she befriends them and slowly lets them into her heart, she'll realize that not everyone will betray her and that she can trust people again.
I'd say her biggest fear is being all alone. As much as she intentionally tries to drive people away so that they can't hurt her, she's also fucking terrified of being fully alone. She wants people to love and trust, but she feels like it could just lead to more pain. And yet... She doesn't want to be alone.
As for Zaps, I'm still working on her personality and her whole name, but I'm thinking she'll try out "Hannah" first

Shit, sorry for lack of updates! My desktop has been fucking up for a while now, and it's hard to do the art on my laptop due to limited desk space.
Hoping I can fix up the desktop at least a little soon
Inspired by @fangirltothefullest ‘s ADHD Superhero post:
An autistic magical girl! Having a rough time being interrupted during her day to fight monsters.
Negative sensory overload with the new outfit that probably is waaay to frilly and itchy and the hair accessories are probably a pain too.
Not connecting with her teammates. (At first. Magical girl shows are about friendship after all!)
Transforming when she’s alone just so she can stim with her magic wand that is weighted really nicely and it just fun to fidget with.
Attacks being super strong when she gets excited and shouts it out.
Maybe she has a costume that feels nice to wear, and she stims by transforming and twirling in her pretty skirt!
Having to deal with meltdowns fighting monsters that disrupt her routine or have attacks that are SUPER overstimulating.
Using attacks that don’t require command words when she’s feeling non-verbal (or just is non-verbal.)
Struggling to mask around so many new people (her teammates.) Infodumping to her new teammates when she’s comfortable enough around them.
Petting the magical mascot.
nothing funnier than making an oc just to give him a problem. get fucked sketchbook boy
don't think I've forgotten here, my ass has just been getting kicked by depression and severe adhd
So meanwhile have their names!
Bear Hands/Arms User: Kristina Robinson
ZipZappers (Speedy Shoes) User: ??? Taylor (She doesn't have a set first name in Canon yet, as she'll be experimenting! So for now I'll just call her by her last name, Taylor!
(small spoiler: I'm thinking Hannah might be the first name she tries!)
And finally we got
Wand User: Michela Davis
I'll have to make full profiles for them sometime! I still haven't drawn Michela, but I know what she looks like!
Some ideas:
Bear Hands/Arms, Kristina Robinson:
Kristina is nonverbal and uses AAC. She is autistic, and needs help doing things like showering/bathing, cooking, making appointments, and driving. She cannot look people in the eyes. She's very particular about the food she eats and the texture of her clothes, but when she finds some she likes, she really likes them!
She doesn't work, but volunteers at the local library helping the librarians. She loves it!
Her sister, who used to help her with her daily life, has gone missing, and she's been struggling to get by on her own. Her aunt tries to help, but is often busy.
Kristina may not speak aloud, but she's for sure not quiet. She's not afraid to tell someone off with her AAC. After being infantilized a lot of her life, she's 100% done with people's pity. She often does understand sarcasm and jokes, especially since she likes to use sarcasm a lot. Which she finds especially funny since her resting face is usually quite deadpan, as is the AAC voice.
Her goal is to try to get by whilst trying to do everything she can to find her sister.
I'm not dead, just having health issues still! Gotta love the American Healthcare system. Really need a new cpap, but they're like $800 or more, so, rip. Trying to figure out what to do
Update: cpap is helping a little bit since I got a new mask! However, Adderall is causing me mania.
There's good news though; I got a new therapist and a new psychiatrist!
TW: talk of my prior shitty therapist and psychiatrist below the cut
:readmore:
My last ones were horrible and didn't listen or understand. Hell, one told me to "just try harder"! And they kept telling me to get a job when, like, the disabilities I need help with are what's keeping me from getting a job!
Both of them always forgot to schedule the next appointment, and it was especially bad with the psych because he would put me on a med or raise my stimulant med, but then not schedule a follow up to check on me!
I've been struggling with my Adderall causing mania, but when I tried to tell my therapist, she didn't even try to recommend me something else. I tried asking if it would help if my mood stabilizer should be raised too, but the question was ignored.
So hopefully, I can eventually work shit out. I really wanna start this.
hannibal’s name rhyming with cannibal is like vague enough to be a coincidence but he’s also a fancy chef who always serves organ meat and/or raw meat dishes that exactly line up with whatever body part disappeared from the FBI’s most recent batch of bodies, and he serves it to the FBI, who doesn’t notice
Who’s the biggest weed dealer in Baltimore? I have to consult my friend Hannibis Lecter, the renowned gardener
Someone keeps running people over! better talk to my buddy Hehicular Hanslaugher Lecter, the world-famous racecar driver
This is a comment someone appended to a photo of two men apparently having sex in a very fancy room, but it’s also kind of an amazing two-line poem? “His Wife has filled his house with chintz” is a really elegant and beautiful counterbalancing of h, f, and s sounds, and “chintz” is a perfect word choice here—sonically pleasing and good at evoking nouveau riche tackiness. And then “to keep it real I fuck him on the floor” collapses that whole mood with short percussive sounds—but it’s still a perfect iambic pentameter line, robust and a lovely obscene contrast with the chintz in the first line. Well done, tumblr user jjbang8
I hate that my aesthetic sense agrees with this but everything you just said was correct
I went back to dig up this post because I was thinking about poetry.
This is one of those non-poem things that are among my favorite poems.
As the OP stated, the use of alliterative consonants is aesthetically just great, especially the placement of the strongest use at the end: “fuck him on the floor.” The use of “chintz” is indeed great word choice.
Because I’m insane, decided to scan the poem:
Not only is the second sentence, indeed, perfect iambic pentameter, the entire poem is perfectly metered, though the first sentence has four iambs rather than five.
There are further things I love about this poem, though: I like the casual connotations of “keep it real” juxtaposed with “chintz.” It causes me to interpret the “chintz” more strongly as meaning something fake, a facade. There is also of course the coarseness of “fuck,” which is a contrast with “chintz” but a different kind of contrast, gutsy and carnal where “chintz” is flimsy and inanimate.
And then there is the storytelling: there is SO MUCH storytelling in just these two lines. To break it down: The speaker is having sex with a married man, in the house he shares with his wife, which is “filled with chintz”—something that here connotes fakeness, in contrast with “keep it real.”
The illicit encounter in the poem takes place within a house filled with facade, the flimsy construction of the wife’s marriage and domestic sphere, but the encounter itself is a taste of something “real.” That’s a story, and it’s just two lines.
This is EIGHTEEN SYLLABLES, y’all. The amount of meaning condensed into these eighteen syllables is stunning, and it is so elegantly done.
From a technical standpoint (and ive taken 300- and 400-level poetry classes so I can say this) this is damn near flawless as a poem.
Kept thinking about this ever since I saw it and had to do something
there's art now
Gotta get a different cpap mask. This one constantly is either blowing air into my eyes or I have to pull it so tight that my nose hurts so much.
Trying to schedule a new fitting!
