Fanart of a scene in te dรฉchirer by lunarleonardo on Ao3.
te dรฉchirer
โGet dressed,โ Odile whispered. โI need you for something.โ
Siffrin blinked. Then, smiled sleepily. โ...Secret quest?โ
โSomething like that,โ Odile murmured. โHurry up. Iโll be downstairs.โ
--
This time loop has brought Odile to her absolute limit. She needs some way out. And she is willing to utilize all tools at her disposal to do so.
As the flash hits your eye, you feel something crashing into you from all directions. Below you is obvious, Bonbon situated themself to bump into you while the picture was taken. You look to your right, and Mirabelleโs cheek is pressed up to yours. On your left, Isabeauโs sheepishly hugged you to his side. Thereโs a hand in your hair, too, and it feels like Madame Odile.
[...]
โWe need a souvenir of this trip,โ Mirabelle adds. She rushes to the ground to pick up the picture and snort-laughs as she looks at it. โOh no, Siffrin looks like weโre holding him hostage!โ
โ Curtain Call, Chapter 9, by @openphrase123 (Link in the replies)
2024 October 22nd
Fanfic fanart fanfic fanart!! When I read the "hostage" line, it invoked such a clear image in my head of Siffrin tensed up like a startled prey animal that it got added to my list of things to maybe draw immediately.
Dooon't think about the words 'left' and 'right' in that quote too hard. I know how to read I prommy. :)
(I did Not process those words and lost the coin flip in the composition phase...)
Close-up and ramblings about the cans of worms I unleashed upon myself under the cut
Time taken on this was [head in hands] 48 hours and 37 minutes.... That bloated number has two culprits:
1) I got a new tablet! My old one was 10 years old. Its plastic was melting and the electronics had ghosts in 'em, so it needed the sweet release of retirement. However, I had just gotten to the line art phase when the switch happened. Clumsily getting used to the new one during the most precise phase of the process did devastating things to my perfectionism.
2) I made a GRAVE mistake with how I chose to color this. I wanted to keep the grayscale layers for accuracy instead of just slapping a B&W filter over the colored version, so all the colors come from gradient maps, color balance layers, overlay layers, and raster layers clipped to other layers.
Listen. I'm used to working with lots of layers. I like keeping things separate so I can edit them more easily. But this is the worst layer system I have ever created. Going from color to B&W requires toggling exactly 20 layers & folders on or off. There are 87 visible layers total. This file lags when you edit it. I've never wanted CSP v1.13 to have layer comps more in my life.
Not helping matters was Isabeau. I said he was the easiest to draw in my last post, but he took that as a challenge, apparently. It's a simple fist-on-hip pose, why was that so hard!?! His face gave me grief too.
Odile's lil' wave got added at the end of the line art phase. I've never added to a sketch that late in the game before, but I felt bad about how little screen area she got, haha. Girl, I tried, but this composition was not kind to you.
Giving Isa, Odile, and Siffrin skin colors felt cursed. Well... "color" is maybe a stretch for Sif. The pallor from being affection-jumpscared isn't helping.
In the dev's nose reveal post, they said that Siffrin isn't white but is white-passing, so BOOM albinism headcanon. Like c'mon, they wear a big hat and have most of their skin covered because the sun is a deadly laser when you have little to no melanin and idk if sunblock exists in-universe. Heck, maybe most Islanders have it, their whole religion is about the night sky so maybe they're nocturnal. This makes perfect sense. :)
The 13th annual international gender census, collecting information about the language we use to refer to ourselves and each other, is nowย open until 13th August 2026.
Itโs short and easy, for most participants it takes 5 minutes or less.
After the survey is closed Iโll process the results and publish a spreadsheet of the data and a report summarising the main findings. Then anyone can use them for academic or business purposes, self-advocacy, tracking the popularity of language over time, and just feeling like weโre part of a huge and diverse community.
If you think you might have friends and followers whoโd be interested, please do reblog this blog post, and share the survey URL by email or at AFK social groups or on other social networks. Every share is extremely helpful!
Survey URL: https://survey.gendercensus.com
The survey is open to anyone anywhere who speaks English and feels that the gender binary doesnโt fully describe their experience of themselves and their gender(s) or lack thereof.
Thank you so much!

PS: You can see some regularly-updated statistics about incoming data here, with lots of demography and graphs to peruse!

guess who's replaying portal (me its me im replaying portal)
chell headcanonsss... bonus doodles under the cut including ihnmaims crossover (minor blood warning)
i tried to draw her as close to canon as possible in this one, but i didn't really get her outfit right
these are for a roleplay i do sometimes with my friend (hi trent). I see ihnmaims crossovers a lot with portal, but i feel like it's only really with am and glados, so i feel like chell and the survivors deserve to interact too. in the second one, chell fought someone to get food for ted.
