Just added a bunch of my brushes on the Ibis Paint site (I think there’s like, 30 on there??), but if y’all are interested in them, here are the links!
Just a whole bunch of my sketching brushes
13 and 17 are different, I swear
A bunch of the crunchiest lineart brushes you’ll ever use
A bunch of brushes I use for clothing+accessories
The brushes used in the background drawing are in my sketch pack :]
I didn’t have any art on hand that both had these brushes and wasn’t of someone else’s OC, so I hope you enjoy this edgy, weird little backg
I am definitely NOT publishing all my brushes so they’re easier to port to my laptop! That’s definitely NOT what’s going on here! That would
I think this is the last of them?? These little graphics wound up being really fun to make once I got the hang of them lmao
Anywho, i’ve fo
peter and loki are brothers and i said so. loki loves that ball of sunshine and he's always wanted to be a big brother and he finally gets a chance to be a good brother and its for this sweet sweet boy who always wanted a big brother. and so both of them are desperate to have new siblings and to have family and feel close to someone and they're awkward about it but they love each other a lot. loki makes a point of always visiting peter and leaving him notes. he likes to embarass peter at school and be an annoying big brother. and everything something bad happens peter calls loki and needs his big brother. i am insane.
The fact that Lorna, Wanda and Pietro are on that boat alongside Rogue is EVERYTHING to me. They are the first thing he remembered!!! They are his heart, they are his anchor to humanity. Always have been in the comics, always will. I am so happy we got this version in the '97 animation as well.
This scene is all I needed from the show. I am at peace. That's the best part of his soul on that boat, hope you understand.
tbh i’m pretty adamant on chris calling tim robin for a while after he’s back. tim’s like "that’s sweet but i’m not robin anymore" and chris is like "okay robin :)" because tim is his robin and tim is like "this is going to cause me so many problems". eventually it splits into his robin (tim) and actual robin (damian, who dislikes this considering chris is his friend) then mellows out into just calling damian robin, though tim is still his favorite robin. severe attachment formed in distressing scenarios led to chris imprinting on him firmly and tim is too fond of him to do anything about it
I think everyone is wrong about how superman would react to ghost-maker. I don't think superman would be all like "this crazy mf is a bad influence and makes me jealous" I think he would be like "omg they're the same. Bruce had a body double, sure he's a little off the rails but holy shit they're the same"
And I think as a result of this he would treat Khoa the same way he treats Bruce and khoa would be like "wtf why is this alien being wierd and nice to me how can I kill him without Bruce finding out"
I really just think superman would be happy to learn more about batman, and also like proud that batman can socialize, even if it is to a weird lunatic(affectionate)
Five Times Wally And Dick Relied On Each Other (and the one time they couldn’t)
by Wally_Birb
“I’ll make you a deal,” Dick’s voice cracked slightly with the tension of repressed emotions. “You don’t let me become Batman, I won’t let you die in a mask.”
(AU but it’s mean and sad and I’m sorry that I ever wrote it)
Hijinks are good don’t get me wrong, but I too deeply enjoy some angst!
ok u are asking me to expose my current guilty pleasure here!! let's see what i got:
inhibition
Batman gets hit by a Poison Ivy special. Jason is unfortunately caught in the crossfire.
CW: this one has some very heavy themes around sexual assault, but no actual assault occurs - read the warnings on the fic.
cuddle pollen is a new concept for me!! im into it. author has a bunch of cuddle pollen fics but in terms of h/c this was the stand out for me.
The Worst Kind of Crush
Civilians came first.
It was one of the foundational truths of being a superhero. Their job was to save civilians regardless of the personal cost. Each of them knew and understood the risks associated with the cape when they put it on.
Still, rules got fuzzy when one woke up underneath a building.
Or the one where a building explodes and Tim is trapped under the rubble
u like h/c. here's some excellent h/c.
answers we're not wise enough to see (i love you freely)
It’s very nearly perfect, and so much more than Damian ever hoped for himself. But it’s not enough to distract him from the fact that there is still one of his siblings whose mark he does not- and apparently, will never, carry, and the pain of rejection threatens to overwhelm the relief he feels at being so easily accepted by Father and his family.
Because for all that his brightest mark so far- brighter even than Father’s- is very clearly displayed on Richard's neck, there is no corresponding cerulean blue mark on Damian’s nose.
or
In a world where your first touch on a soulmate leaves a mark that shows how much you love them, Damian struggles to understand why Richard apparently does not love him back.
platonic soulmate AUs are also a new one on me!! im also very into it!! the only actual batfamily comic i've read is steph brown's run as batgirl and i realised reading this that i am very invested in Dick & Damian's relationship actually and gjfkglhfjkghf. loved this.

When Jason Todd died, Bruce Wayne had a hard time letting go or dealing with any reminders of his son.
When Jason Todd came back, what he needed to know was how much he had mattered. Fortunately, these things overlapped.
Or, the story in which Jason listens to some voicemails for a dead boy— the boy who was him.
remember how i was joking around abt jason getting messages bruce left for him while he was 'dead'. here is that concept but like Serious. im still getting over a semi-recent major bereavement at present and this caused me physical pain (compliment)
I Wanna Shoop, Baby
Talking over Bruce's attempts to desperately stop the unwanted laughter, Dick said, "I don't really understand what my soulmark means. It doesn't have any hints about their identity, so I just memorized the words instead."
Bruce fought for control and took a deep, sobering breath. “Whoever your soulmate is, I can’t decide whether I hate them already or need you to meet them.”
“Need me to meet them?”
Bruce chuckled—he chuckled—and said, “Dick. I have a feeling the two of you are going to be a particularly troublesome pair of best friends.”
& finally, some hijinks!! not strictly batfamily (it's birdflash) but batman and robin are both there so w/e. very entertaining. absolutely edge of my seat all the way through waiting to find out wtf dick's soulmark was. it did not disappoint.
and that's all i got for now!! hope there's something here you'll enjoy :)
They’re in the kitchen one rare morning that they both have off. Wally is trying to follow his dad’s old recipe for French Toast, and Dick is doing the laundry. There’s easy banter and flirting and tired kisses with too much stubble because neither of them have shaved yet. Wally jokes about growing out a beard. Dick says he’ll leave him first - and easy on the sugar, he’s watching his hips. Dick goes into the laundry room and Wally calls to him down the hall about grabbing his phone or something from the bedroom.
No answer.
Wally calls him again. Dick walks out of the laundry room in a bit of a daze. Wally asks him what’s wrong. Again, Dick doesn’t answer. He just looks up at Wally and... drops.
Following is my translation of the vignette from Sebek Zigvolt’s Master Chef card.
Spoilers after the cut!
Part 1
Sebek: Before we begin, there is something I’d like to ask you.
Ghost Chef: Ah, did you have a question about what I was explaining to you earlier?
Sebek: No, I comprehend the gist of this Master Chef Program. What I’d like to ask you concerns the particulars of what we’ll be making. Will our assignment involve any dishes one might present as an evening meal?
Ghost Chef: Yup. The chicken noodle soup I’ll be having you make today is just perfect for dinnertime.
Sebek: Judging by the name, I presume it contains pasta of some sort? Soup isn’t a bad choice at all, for it both warms one’s body and satiates one’s stomach. Excellent! I’ve now a clear goal in mind. I shall master the art of preparing this chicken noodle soup and then employ this knowledge for the young Lord's sake.
Ghost Chef: Oh? Are you wanting to make dinner for somebody?
Sebek: Yes. For you see, I noticed the other day that my master, Lord Malleus, appeared rather despondent when he sat down for breakfast. When I enquired what was the matter.... he told me that he had partaken in some of Sir Lilia’s cooking the night prior.
Ghost Chef: L-Lilia-kun… You don’t mean the Lilia-kun, do you!? The one who keeps coming back to the Master Chef program and has all those terrible rumors swirling around him!? Now I understand why you’re doing this… Lilia-kun’s cooking certainly is… unique... both in appearance and taste.
Sebek: Precisely. The flavors encountered in Sir Lilia’s cooking are just much too… overwhelming… to enjoy at dinner. I’d like to hone my cooking skills so that I can prepare a most pleasing meal for the young Lord.
Ghost Chef: Okay! Then this Master Chef program will be just perfect for a student like you. I’ll be sure to guide you all along the way, so that even with your lack of experience, you’ll be able to make something truly delicious. Let’s both give this our best shot!
Sebek: Indeed. I’ll be counting on you.
Ghost Chef: Okey dokey, let’s get started. The broth is going to provide the foundation for this dish’s flavor, but this time, we’ll just be using consommé powder.
Sebek: This time…? Do you mean to say there are alternative methods available?
Ghost Chef: Yeah. Some people will make their own broth by simmering different ingredients together. Back when I was alive, I’d spend hours and hours facing off with my soup pot doing just that. And that’s why consommé powder is so convenient! You can save yourself a whole bunch of time by using it.
Sebek: Hmm. For my own future reference, could you tell me… To what extent does the flavor change when you make the broth from scratch, as opposed to utilizing this consommé powder?
Ghost Chef: Ah, that’s not really something you can generalize. It all depends on what types of ingredients you add in, and how you season the broth and what not. This powder we’re using today is made by a brand that’s been around for a long time now. It’s really popular, and pretty much everybody gives it their seal of approval.
Sebek: I see. You’re saying it’s not always the best choice to put in all that time and effort into making your own broth, then. For an amateur such as myself to be able to produce a flavor such as this - one that’s been endorsed by so many people for such a long time - it truly is a revolutionary product. If it were that handmade broths were clearly the superior choice, then I would have extended my time in this program for as long as possible, however… Your explanation has dispelled my concerns. Well then, I’ll be looking to you for guidance, Chef.
Ghost Chef: Ah, sounds like I just narrowly escaped having to work a bunch of overtime…. Okay, first we’ll need to chop up the ingredients that we’ll be adding to the soup.
Sebek: I see the ingredients are chicken, cabbage, carrots, and onions. And what shall we be using this garlic for?
Ghost Chef: We’re going to use the garlic to add some aroma to the soup, so you’ll want to be sure to chop it up really thin. The rest of the ingredients, you can just cut to bite-sized portions. By the way, have you used kitchen knives before, Sebek-kun?
Sebek: Kitchen knives, huh…. Well, I do know my way around a dagger, but… When I lived in Briar Valley, my grandfather would always look quite displeased with me anytime I stepped foot into the kitchen. That is why I'm not very familiar with kitchen knives or even just cooking utensils in general.
Ghost Chef: Oh, my… I had no idea. Well then, I’m glad you’re taking part in this Master Chef program. At least since you’re used to handling sharp tools, I don’t need to worry as much about you hurting yourself, I guess. Let’s start with the onion first. After you’ve peeled it and removed the stem and roots, you’ll need to cut it in half lengthwise.
(Sebek starts chopping the onion)
Sebek: …How is this?
Ghost Chef: Perfect! You can cut it however you want to, but… How about you chop it up nice and thin? That way, the heat from the flame will be better able to cook through all the pieces. Take that section you cut just now and place it face down, and then cut it into thin slices, following the direction of the fibers.
Sebek: Follow the direction of the fibers and cut it into thin slices…
(Sebek starts chopping faster and faster)
Ghost Chef: Ah…! Stop, stop! Put the knife down for a moment, Sebek-kun!
Sebek: ?
Ghost Chef: Aah, it's just as I feared. You didn’t cut all the pieces equally, and now some are a lot thinner than others. I’m sorry, I should have explained it to you better.
Sebek: Is there a problem if they aren’t all cut to the same thickness?
Ghost Chef: Yes, they won’t cook evenly now. Also, when you make sure to cut up your ingredients so they’re the same size and thickness, that helps make your presentation look better. Okay, uh, let’s cut the remainder of the onion so all the pieces are about 5 millimeters thick.
Sebek: Hmm… So rather than focusing simply on cutting the ingredients, one must also be sure to keep in mind how one’s decisions will affect the remaining steps in the cooking process. If I am to present my dishes to Lord Malleus someday, then I cannot afford to compromise on either the taste, nor the appearance. I shall be sure to keep that in mind going forward. I’ll need to cut all these pieces equally thin, then. Alright, I shall resume working now.
(Sebek starts chopping again, more slowly this time)
Ghost Chef: Yes, yes! Just like that. It’s no wonder you’re so good at this, since you’re used to handling sharp tools and all.
Sebek: Fufu. Now that I’ve gotten the knack of things, something as menial as this is no trouble at all.
(Sebek starts chopping a bit faster)
Ghost Chef: Ooh, and now you’re speeding up! You’re doing a wonderful job. You really do handle the knife so nimbly.
Sebek: Ha ha ha! I shall deal with the rest of the ingredients just the same!
Part 2
Sebek: ….Okay. I have finished chopping all of the ingredients. I’d like to keep practicing using the knife in this manner some more, so that my body might remember the correct movements… Seeing as we’ll be getting evaluated later on and all. But first I must complete this dish. Chef, what is the next step?
Ghost Chef: Next you’re going to sauté the ingredients over a light flame. Once that’s done, then you’ll add some water to the pot and let everything simmer for a while.
Sebek: Understood. Is it alright if I go ahead and add all these vegetables I’ve chopped into this frying pan here?
Ghost Chef: No, hold it. First you need to sauté the garlic in some olive oil.
Sebek: The garlic? …Ah, that’s right. You explained it to me earlier. So this is the stage where we’ll be adding some aroma to the dish, I suppose. Cooking involves such a multitude of steps…
Ghost Chef: Once you do it a few times, it’ll all come naturally to you. Okay, let’s go ahead and oil up that frying pan and add in the garlic!
Sebek: Darn it….! I thought I’d been paying close attention, but some pieces of onion got burnt before I realized it. CHEF, HAVE I FAILED!?
Ghost Chef: You just added a bit of color to your dish, is all. Something as minor as that is tolerable enough. Everything looks just about done cooking, so let’s go ahead and add the water now.
Sebek: It's tolerable enough…? Argh, so I really will get points docked for it, then. The pieces that burned were the ones I cut too thin. When you said earlier the ingredients wouldn’t cook evenly, I now understand this is what you meant.
Ghost Chef: Mm-hmm. Even though I didn’t give you any advice about it, it looks like you've learned your lesson from this experience.
Sebek: Chef, I’ve finished seasoning the soup. This consommé powder truly is amazing. To think, one could produce such a profound flavor just by adding a bit of salt and pepper.
Ghost Chef: Right? And you also get a lovely umami flavor from simmering those ingredients. And now, it’s finally time to bring in the star of the show.
Sebek: That bag you’ve got, is it filled with… a short pasta? When I heard “Noodle”, I imagined a long, thin variety of pasta. Such as the kind one can wrap around one’s fork and eat.
Ghost Chef: Yes, there are times when you’ll want to use a long and thin type of pasta, like the kind you’re thinking of. But since we’re making this as a dish to serve at dinnertime, I chose a short pasta, which is easier to eat.
Sebek: I see. One must choose the correct type of pasta based on the circumstances the dish will be served. I’ll go ahead and write that down.
Ghost Chef: Fufu…. You have such a lively passion for learning, Sebek-kun. I’m glad to have you as my student.
Sebek: It says on the bag here that this dried pasta can be added to the soup without issue…. But is it really alright?
Ghost Chef: Sure is. It cooks up really quickly, and the flavors from the broth will seep into the noodles. It's truly wonderful, I say.
Sebek: Hmph. Sounds reasonable.
Ghost Chef: How exactly you boil the pasta, and how long you boil it for, varies depending on the product you’re using. Always make sure to read the instructions thoroughly every time you cook.
Sebek: ….This pasta here needs to be boiled for 10 minutes. Since the recipe calls for 100 grams, then that will be the entire bag.
Ghost Chef: You’ll need to stir the water now and then, so that the noodles don’t stick to pot. But do be careful you don’t stir too much, or else you’ll risk breaking apart the other ingredients.
Sebek: I understand. I shall be careful. Ah, while we’re on the topic, there’s also raw pasta available…. Is there a difference between using that, versus this dried pasta?
Ghost Chef: Yes, there's differences in the ingredients they're made from, as well as how long they'll stay good for… There’s lots of things I could talk about, but from the viewpoint of the person who’s eating the dish, the biggest difference is the mouthfeel. You look like a formidable young man, so I think it’d be good if you try making your own pasta someday. Once you get a bit more used to cooking, that is.
Sebek: I wonder, which would Lord Malleus like better… Should I prepare his meals using raw pasta or dried pasta…
Ghost Chef: It’s all just a matter of preference. And as the person who’s making the dish, I also consider which type would pair best with the seasonings and type of sauce that I’ll be using.
Sebek: Ah…. So by utilizing the type of pasta that is most suited for the dish in question, then Lord Malleus will be even more pleased. Thank you for this valuable information. I’ll need to be sure to study more on the intricacies of proper pasta selection.
Sebek: There, I’ve got everything plated…. And with this, we are done cooking. However…
Ghost Chef: Hey, hey! Sebek-kun, hurry and bring your dish out to the judging venue!
Sebek: A-alright…
Sebek: Will you be handling my evaluation, Jack?
Jack: Sebek…!? Never woulda thought you of all people would try out this Master Chef thing…
Sebek: In order to become the perfect servant, I thought it important I acquire at least basic knowledge in areas beyond just the martial arts. That is all. Here, this is the chicken noodle soup I’ve prepared. I must let you know that when preparing this dish I- …Ah, never mind. Do give me your honest assessment, Jack.
Jack: *sniff* *sniff* It doesn’t smell bad or anything. Okay, here goes…
(Jack starts eating the soup)
Sebek: What do you think…?
Jack: What do I think? ….I think it’s not delicious enough to be amazing, but it's also not gross enough to make you wanna hurl. It’s a totally normal bowl of soup.
Sebek: My chicken noodle soup is.... normal…? THAT CANNOT BE! This soup contains pieces of onion that I didn’t cut to equal size, and other pieces that have been burnt! Being marred by such blemishes, anyone who eats it should find it a failure!
Jack: Huh!? The heck are you going on about? I gave you a passing score, so I don’t really understand why you’re complaining. No matter how you look at it, this is just a normal bowl of soup. You need to accept your judge’s evaluation, Sebek.
Sebek: Drat…! I cannot tolerate being given a passing mark for such slovenly work!
Ghost Chef: Ah ha ha…. I guess there really is such a thing as having standards that are too high...
Sebek: To be completely forthright, I truly do not approve of this, but… An evaluation is an evaluation, and I shall accept it in earnest. I now know what points I must improve upon, so just you watch! Next time, I shall prepare a dish so flawless I’ll be able to present it to Lord Malleus in absolute confidence!
