I’m posting this on this account but this is my oc Jett! I want to post a few more WIPS before I do lore reveals about my ocs but it might take a while so I decided to reveal what I’m able to about Jett rn.
Jett uses He/Him pronouns, he’s in college, likes wrestling and fitness, an Aries, born and raised in The Philippines.
I’ll post more OC content when I can, I’m tryna balance this as well as my college classes and it’s lowkey hard lol. Anyways, if you like my art, consider giving me a follow. Have a wonderful sunny day! ☀️🫶🏽
This is my NEW art account. It was more convenient for me to just have a fresh start. Consider giving me a follow on this account if you're interested in my art!
My Oc, Jett! I haven’t posted since my first post and I have NONE of my art finished so I decided to start posting WIPs I have while also working on new pieces. So every other day imma be posting WIPs of my OCs before diving into their lore and the story I want to tell with them! Have a wonderful sunny day! ☀️
(I want to start this off by saying I am a black queer woman who likes to view any type of queer media. I understand some aspects because I am queer but I won't understand everything because I am not a queer man- if that makes sense. If I get something wrong feel free to correct me! <3)
I should be taking notes for my test that due in 11 hours but here I am. Wanting to talk about Heated Rivalry instead lol. I just wanted to talk about things that I appreciate about the show while it's on my mind (popped up on my fyp again).
I loved the show for a very specific reason. I have many reasons why the show brought me joy, but what I loved was the subversion of the norms. This might not be the norm for everyone but this is the norm I see in popular media. It's the fact that intimacy doesn't take forever to get to. It's also not a slow burn in the typical sense.
In the show, it takes years before they get to a point of being open and then getting into a relationship. In that sense, it's a slow burn. Intimacy wise, not a slow burn.
My grandma watches Hallmark channel all the time. Every movie feels the same. Same set up, rarely any change, and at the ending they will kiss. Sorry, just spoiled every Hallmark movie ever. Growing up seeing all those movies with her made me HATE the slow burn trope. Specifically, slow burn with no intimacy. Heated Rivalry is the opposite, we get that in episode one within 10 minutes (give or take). I LOVE THAT AND I ATE IT UP.
In my opinion, waiting until the last minute for a pay off feels like I got no pay off at all. I don't find it romantic, I find it boring and almost like it's purity culture. Often in shows and movies I watch, if there's a sex scene it's made to be lustful. What I mean by that is- the characters involve in those scenes are almost never made to be endgame or it's framed as a bad decision. I have a few examples to show you what I mean- in case my wording isn't clear right now because I'm rambling. I've never watched Euphoria but my friend said there's lots of sex scenes. And I know from the grape vine that some (or most) involve Cassie and Nate. They're not framed to be healthy or great characters, so their scenes can be viewed in a negative light. I haven't finished the show Dear White People but what I did watch- none of the characters who had sex together were never in a committed relationship before. It felt like their sex was reserved to bad decisions and only lustful actions instead of ones of love.
Sex can be portrayed in media as only lust and not for something more which is romance and love. Why not portray both? I think Heated Rivalry actually did really good at that- in my opinion. I could go on about much more I loved or other topics I love but I should focus on Uni work lol. What're your thoughts? Feel free to share! 👩🏽💻
On the topic of funky space guys!! Mark Grayson!!! This is an old redraw of the screencap that was going around, so it's a little janky, but alas 👍👍 (What if I said that I love comic book characters with black and blue suits and the last name Grayson??? 👀)
I am into Date Everything right now, and there’s so many characters that sometimes it’s hard to find fanfic of your favorite character, so I decided to write some fanfics for date everything and open my requests for the game! I will go over some of my “rules”. They’re more like suggestions than rules but here we go!:
I am comfortable writing almost everything but, I do have limitations. Here are some things I do not feel comfortable writing:
🚫feces, urine, and vomit
🚫age play
🚫non-consensual sexual scenarios
(things like brat taming is allowed but I will include verbal consent)
Tags!:
This is not required but this will help me sort out my suggestions! I use fruits to help me sort certain tags. These fruits represent these tags:
🍒- before realization (Date Everything specific: this is before they become human)
🍓-post realization (Date Everything specific: this is after they become human)
🍇-angst
🍎-will need trigger warnings (this may include: addiction, mental illness/health, abuse, etc,)
🍉- platonic! (If you only see this character as a friend, this is for you! If you don’t include that you want the request platonic I will assume it’s romantic)
🍑-smut
🍊- multiple dateables (polyamory, specifiy if they date each other as well or they date only reader if that makes sense)
🍋-happy ending
🍍multiple characters, separate scenarios (you want multiple characters written for a scenario, but it happens separately)
🍌-long form fanfic (this is if you specifically want it to be long. If you’re okay with whatever length, this does not need to be included)
🍏-gn reader
🍈-fem reader
🍐-male reader
🥝-headcanons
🥭-humor
🥥- fluff
🍋🟩-bad ending (no happy ending yk)
🫐- specific reader (this is if you want the reader to have specific features mentioned in the story. Maybe you want the reader to be the same ethnicity as you, or other things such as: personality traits, fashion style, body type, hobbies, scars, etc.,)
Examples:
Teaching Bohdi about Ice Spice (Bodhi x gn! Reader) (order: 🍋🍏🥭🥥)
Buying Dc Batman comics for Dirk/Clarence (Dirk x reader, Clarence x reader) (order 📝: 🥥🥭)
Roller skate date with Fantina (Fantina x fem!reader) (order📝: 🍋🍌🥥🍈)
Additional Notes!:
- I am willing to write for any of the dateables, even if I have preferences for certain characters- I am not excluding any from being asked.
- there’s no limitations on how many characters I will write for- however if there is a lot I may split them up into parts.
- If I did not do a characters route, I will research it so I am familiar with them before writing for them because I don’t want to make them too OOC. If a request takes longer, that may be why. If I did get some information wrong, I apologize, just politely correct me in the comments.
-if you have any questions, you may private message me or send a request and I’ll try to clear it up
This will contain no spoilers for the show, as I’m not finished with the latest season
Does anyone else also get emotional when empathy is shown in this show? Like if someone does even the smallest thing to help someone else, I get emotional. I get attached to characters easily too, if I see their face- I’m rooting for them to survive. Idk, I think this show altered the way I think since 2020 (I think?) when I started this show.
For anyone who hasn’t watched it, I recommend it! It’s so good and keeps me engaged!
I don’t care what anybody says. I like her☺️. Her feelings are valid, and so are Mark’s. Leave my girl alone 🫵🏽😤
Tried Clip Studio Paint and the brushes are so nice and smooth… maybe I’ll switch from procreate to CSP 👀 even though it’s a bit difficult to navigate without keyboard😔💔
Okay so this has been bugging me for a while now and after talking to my friend who also watches Castlevania, I’m not crazy. This is more of a crazy rambling on people’s opinions on Dracula if that makes sense.
Okay so don’t get me wrong- I love Dracula. He’s a solid villain and I can understand his pain. HOWEVER, it drives me crazy when people say he was justified to do everything he did. It wasn’t just him getting revenge on those who killed Lisa, it was the whole world. It literally was a long winded suicide plan. As stated in the show.
I think his feelings are justified, however his actions are NOT. So many innocent people were affected by this as well, not just the people who did this to Lisa. And before someone tries to argue that they all “stood by”, it wasn’t just the village he punished- it was the whole world. People who had no idea this specific incident happened were also being killed. In the first (or second?) episode, we see a night creature holding a baby in its mouth. Do you think that baby is also a bystander that deserved death?
Not the mention this is NOT what Lisa wanted. In her last moments she pleaded for Dracula to NOT do what he did. She was a heartwarming woman who literally went to seek Dracula to learn how to help people. HELP PEOPLE. Why would see want to see many innocent people die when she spent a long time learning how to help them? She wanted Dracula to be better than this.
Lastly- for now- if the whole world supposedly deserves this and Dracula was completely justified, was him hurting his son also justified?
I saw someone genuinely say “Sure Alucard lost his mother but Dracula lost the love of his life and his reason.” To that I say do you not hear yourself? Why are you comparing the two? Alucard LOST his mom, she’s gone, she raised him- and you’re comparing the two? I don’t think people understand how losing a parent genuinely affects people. Sorry this personally pissed me off as someone who has lost her mother. At the end of the day, even Dracula realized what he was doing was wrong. He literally says “I’m killing our boy Lisa”
Anyways welcome to my insane ramblings. I came out of a temporary hiatus to rant 😂
idk why but bald capvincible picking reed makes me think like, he saw literally every other variant pick an m name and he went with reed cause he wanted to stand out and be special
Oh he definitely did. Some of the other variants also don’t have m names but he, specifically, definitely didn’t pick an m name because he wants to stand out and be different… in a building full of variations of himself LMAO.
Also, for everyone who isn’t aware of my AVRP AU here’s some links to my other posts about it: here and here
And basically it’s an au where the variants are kept alive basically to be weapons.
To form more to my story and to get slowly back into invincible- I would appreciate asks/questions/etc about the AVRP AU so I can develop it more. 🫶🏽
This is in no way to bash her as a character and more a slight critique to the writers xoxo

Okay so I’ve seen a few people bring up how power scaling often doesn’t work when comparing characters from a game, show, or any other media. I personally don’t like power scaling, but to each their own. Now, Invincible has very odd inconsistencies with characters. Like Mark can be ran through a building and get back up but the electric shock of Powerplex will fuck him up? But also it barely affected Mohawk Mark? See what I mean?
I feel the biggest victim of the inconsistency in the writing is Atom Eve. Which Mark is a victim of this too but the most obvious for me is Atom Eve. I feel like we all know her power is OP as hell, that’s why they gave her the mental blocks as a plot line in the first place. But even WITH the mental blocks there’s still a lot she can do but the writers just won’t let her.
Yeah, it’s because they don’t want her to outshine Mark because he’s the protagonist, but then why give her that OP power? It’s probably because they wanted her to be able to be “immortal” or whatever but I don’t agree with that choice anyways.
They could’ve explained it too. Like saying that creating anything but those useless walls takes a lot out of her in terms of stamina. But they didn’t?
AND DONT GET ME STARTED ON HER SAYING TO MARK “now we just have to figure out how to afford a house” AFTER SHE GAVE HER DAD A GOLD APPLE AND AFTER SHE MADE HERSELF A TREE HOUSE AND AFTER SHE MADE THAT HOUSE FOR THE PEOPLE OR WHATEVER. That line truly pissed me off.
Anyways, imma call my yapping series called Screaming Into the Void.
Hello! Could you pls write something where the reader is struggling with addiction and is depressed about the situation. He goes to Mark when he’s sad about it and Mark doesn’t know and he ends up telling Mark what’s going on cause he feels like shit making him (mark) worry about him(reader). He and Mark have a heart to heart about it and Mark does something to cheer him up (they do something cute, like go on a walk and get food or smt fluffy idk). Thx sm
As someone who has severe depression and watched people struggle with different types of addiction, I feel like I was qualified enough to do this. Apologizes for how long this took I wanted to wait until I was done with my semester of college before answering asks.
Pairings: Mark Grayson x Male Reader
Fandom: Invincible
You don’t know when it started, time warped around in your memories to where it all became a big blur. Youll question the passage of time, how long has it truly been? The only thing that’ll stick out in memories is important events, like Mark’s Birthday.
That day stood out because while you were still struggling, it felt nice to have a time to just forget you even were. A nice distraction as you watched your boyfriend excitedly talk to you and his friends about how he loved the presents, and then how you all went out to do whatever he wanted to do. That’s when he pulled you all to the amusement park. You all warned Mark not to eat before getting on the ride but he said he went flying like that as Invincible all the time. Afterwards he was doubled over in a trashcan, not expecting all the loops and turns specifically, but also because he just ate too much. However, he still had a fun day and bounced back to normal after sitting down for just 15 minutes.
You smile tiredly at the memory before turning to your desk that had wrappers all over it- and you look at the keychain of Seance Dog that had the initials MG on the back, you and Mark getting matching ones with each other’s initials on it. Even if you weren’t entirely into the series, it made Mark happy- therefore made you happy. Then there’s the Photo Booth picture with you, Mark, Amber, William, Rick and Eve. Then the Photo Booth picture of just you and him.
You groan when you realize your phone is dead, and you scavenge among your room for the cord. There it is, right next to an empty pill bottle you never threw away. You let out a shaky sigh before plugging the cord into the wall and then into your phone. You wait for about a minute before the screen lights up and you see missed messages and calls. Shit.
[3 missed calls from Mark 💛🩵]
Mark 💛🩵: Hun? Did I do something wrong? You haven’t been answering me
Mark 💛🩵: Babe?
Mark 💛🩵: Can I come over tn? I had a rough day
Mark 💛🩵: ?
Mark 💛🩵: I’m sorry for whatever I did, I miss you. Is something going on? Please don’t shut me out
The messages make your gut coil and churn with guilt, it doesn’t feel good at all. He’s worried about you and yet you’re being a terrible boyfriend by not telling him, by being self-centered-
Then it hits you. He was like this with Amber before they broke up the first time. You were going to text but he deserves a call instead. You take a deep breath, rub your forming headache, and hit the call button.
It rings a few times before he answers, he voice sounding frantic, excited, worried, and relieved all at the same time.
“Babe- oh thank god. Oh my god I was so scared that something happened to you- or- or I did something wrong”
“No, no, you did nothing wrong. Sorry I didn’t answer, my phone was dead”
“It was dead? You used to never let it die, you were so concerned about its battery life at all times of the day” He lets out a sad chuckle.
“Yeah, I know. It’s so weird. Anyways- uh, are you okay? I saw your messages from last night”
“Uhm, I would say I’m okay but I could be better. Got a little beat up yesterday. It’s healed but it’s… not fun”
“I’m so sorry I wasn’t there for you. Is there anything I can do to help you?”
“Can I come over?”
You hesitate. You look around your room and it’s a disaster. Laundry everywhere, trash everywhere, things out of place. It looks like someone threw everything into your room and called it a day. He hears the hesitation and sighs.
“Is that a no? Usually when you hesitate it’s a no”
Nonono, you don’t want him to get the wrong idea- to think you don’t love him or have time for him anymore. Before you can think you say, “No, it’s a yes. You can come over”
“Okay, okay, oh man, I can’t wait to see you. I’ll be dressed quick and be there in 5”
“Okay great, can’t wait to see you. Love you”
“Love you too, bye”
“Bye”
As soon as he hangs up you shovel the clothes from the floor into your hands and throw it into the bottom of the closet. When he says he will be there in five, he means it. Curse him and his speedy flying- but not really because you love that man whole heartedly. You grab a trash bag and just throw shit into it, hoping nothing important gets thrown in there. You’re making progress, but because it’s scattered all across your room you also feel like you’re making no progress at all. You just freeze and stare at the floor- almost as if you want it to just disappear. You can’t get yourself to continue to move- the sight alone makes you wanna start hyperventilating. It needs to be cleaned. You need to be clean. Oh god, what does the rest of the house look like? Before you know it you’re crumpling to the ground and sobbing into your arms. It feels life shattering, but you know with a little bit of drugs- it’ll just be a silly little problem that could be melted away. You sniffle, thinking about if you took the last pill or if you still have some more left.
Knock knock knock. At your window. You can hear it behind yourself- and you feel yourself start to cry again. God, now Mark- you’re perfect superhero boyfriend- knows you’re a fucking slob with an addiction.
Knock knock knock. Sounds a little more frantic this time. Time to face the music, face your greatest fear- and it was one you knew you couldn’t escape because you couldn’t get your life together. You slowly stand up, and open the window. You expected him to recoil in disgust at your appearance and the state of your room. But no- his soft brown eyes look concerned.
“Are you okay? I thought I heard you cryin-“
The question alone brought you to tears again. He looks a little startled but fully comes into the room from your window and pulls you into a hug. You wanna pull back- telling him to get away because you’re disgusting. But you just sob into his shoulder.
“Oh hun, what’s wrong?” He asks delicately with warmth underlying. You sniffle, trying not to hiccup over every word that stumbles out of your chapped lips.
“I’m sorry” Is the first thing you say, as it is the first thing that comes to mind. You feel like you need to apologize for everything, for even existing.
“Sorry for what?” He pulls back to try and look at your face, when you look down, he doesn’t try to force you to look at him. But he just wants to gauge your facial expressions from what he can see.
“I’m- I’m a mess. Me, my room, and- and” You can’t think of a way to explain your addiction to him, or your severe depression that just kept getting worse these past few months. He doesn’t cut you off, he waits patiently for you to finish.
“I’m… I’ve been taking pills.”
You expected him to gasp, to flinch even, anything that showed horror, disgust, maybe even him being upset. But no. He lightly rubbed your arms and nodded.
“For how long?”
“2 months.”
“Okay, I’m here. Do you wanna talk about it?”
His calm response almost made you cry again. It felt so normal- not like he was brushing the problem under the rug, but like he was humanizing what you went through. Your lip quivers and you don’t know how to respond. Yes, you wanna talk about it. But also no, because you don’t trust your own voice.
“We don’t have to talk about it right now. We can just lay together, sit together, watch Tv. Whatever you want, whatever you need, I will try to make possible”
You take a few deep breaths to steady yourself, “I think I wanna shower first, if that’s okay.”
“Of course. Do you want me to order food or make food in the meantime?”
You didn’t feel hungry but it wasn’t good to not eat so you end up agreeing. You grab some fresh clothes from your closet, which isn’t much, and then head into the shower.
✮⋆˙🔮˗ˏ🖇⋆⭒˚｡⋆🎧..✮⋆˙🔮˗ˏ🖇⋆⭒˚｡⋆🎧..✮⋆˙🔮˗
After the shower, you eat the food Mark cooked for you and explain to him what has been going on. How you fell into a deep depression again and then you started using. Then you explain, with your eyes watering and your voice threatening to break, that you were ashamed. That you didn’t want to tell him because you feel gross when you get to this point, and it feels like you can’t come back. Then you hiccup and sob that you’re sorry for being distant and making him worry.
He sits there and lets you finish, before pulling you into a hug. He kisses your temple softly and explains that he understands. He doesn’t understand on a personal level but he understands your thought process and thanks you for opening up to him now.
He makes you feel sane. It isn’t like he fixed you, but you feel less insecure as he helps you clean your room and make a plan for how to navigate this moving forward. He helps with resources, if you’re willing to accept that just yet, and then helps shop for new groceries as well.
He understands it takes time too, you don’t just magically get better. He’s there for you every step of the way. He’s been understanding to you the way you were for him. When he’s in the hospital because of a fight or is bruised up, you drop whatever you're doing and rush to be there. In a way, you two understand the other's struggles without being in the same position. Perhaps you understand each other in only the way a boyfriend would. He celebrates every day you go without using, every day you’re clean instead of focusing on the fact you’ve used at all. And you patch him up (really it’s just putting kids bandaids on his bruises while the two of you laugh at how silly it is) and tell him what he did was brave and that he’s saving lives. And maybe he even saved yours.
Sinister Mark is so fucked up in particular that I sometimes forget he's Mark Grayson. I look at him and I don't even see Mark, he's just built different. No way that's an alternate universe version of this guy
