While I'm working on something big and fun here's one of my old sonadow drawings I made back in 2024

Writers cannot watch a movie normally. we are sitting there going "oh that's the inciting incident" and "they introduced that object too early it's obviously coming back" and "this dialogue is doing three things at once good for them" while everyone else is just. watching the movie. having a normal experience. feeling feelings without labelling them. i envy that so much and i would never give it up.

It doesn't matter if you wrote 5,000 or 50 words today.

It doesn't matter if all you did was day-dream about your characters while staring at the ceiling.

You are still a writer and your progress is valid.

Can we PLEASE talk about this fuck ass image bro. I’m so done. Child Cuphead doesn’t look angry, he’s not crying dramatically— THAT KID IS FUCKING TERRIFIED. Like genuinely bro. The way his hands are tied together, the huge watery eyes, the little frown… he looks like a kid who doesn’t understand why something bad is happening but knows it’s somehow connected to him.

And when I saw it I immediately thought; “dear god, he’s being bathed in current Cuphead’s sins.”

Like pairing that interpretation with the image itself?? My mind actually just hates me AND WANGS ME TI DIE.

Because it isn’t a “oh look at how mean he was” or a “He’s always been evil” kinda thing. It’s a “Look at the innocent kid he used to be, and now look at everything that has happened to him since.”

And then THIS.

@vale208 had the pleasure of witnessing me break down in real time 🙂‍↕️ It’s the way Cuphead does want to die, but it’s quite literally shown in the comic he stays alive to stay with Mugman. Yet he still has that ideation towards death.

The idea of someone not necessarily living for themselves anymore but because they can’t bear the thought of leaving someone they love behind is something I can wholeheartedly understand and even relate to.

Anyways, it’s 12:37 AM and this was just a little rant. Goodnight and I hate this damn app.

[1themuffinman1]

There's something to be said about how both Bendy (er... Sinny) and Cuphead both clocked Astro's presence, more parallels for the board.

[lotus-doodles-04]

I love the dream sequences! Especially cupheads! I’ve never felt so connected to a character before. Thank you fly and nort for writing suicidal ideation with so much care, thought, and respect. I felt so seen.

everyone should try pacing around your home infodumping about something while pretending you're on a podcast or a stream and someone asked you a question about it it's really enriching and fulfilling

bad media will piss you off good media will heal your soul bad media that couldve been good will ruin your life forever

[succubusboyfriend]

you have permission to pick that 2 year old "abandoned" project back up. it's not mad at you for setting it aside. and maybe time and distance have helped ease or erase the things that made you put it down in the first place.

This is for the latest panels of @myth-of-the-machine. I have a feeling that there's going to be a lot of Ortensia hate, so I made this because I think she had every right to do what she did.

Wanted criminals that were holding her child.

TW! MOTM SPOILERS!

If you haven't seen astro going into dreams yet please scroll!

My take on the casts dreams!

==========VERY LONG YAP AHEAD========

=BENDY= (there's no yellow here)

Bendy hasn't been outright trying to mask/hide his blot, not that he could, it's very fucking hard. But afaik only the main group is aware of his condition. Not even Dandy.

Hell if Dandy DID know I doubt the HEALTHCARE star would treat him like that upon return and seemed dead convinced Bendy wanted to take him out of commission. And Bendy, being as proud of a toon as he is, always gave me the vibes that he feels guilty around Dandy. While yeah nearly killing someone is HORRIBLE, I'd think he wouldn't look like a wet sad cat if it was out of jealousy.

I feel like Bendy is the kind of person to keep shit tons of secrets. He wants to perform being OUTGOING and CHARISMATIC, we can't be letting all that yucky blot stuff on live television! I think that's why his dream seemed so closed off and somewhat hostile, it's probably his most vulnerable state of mind save for his blot acting up! With the addition of a conscious blot creature it'd make sense for Astro to want to zip right out.

=Mugman=

The dream starting off with them as kids and Cups dragging him back from spacing out I think is his sanity somewhat coming back! He feels unsafe, and very stressed so his dream takes him back to when he was a child. Lost, spacing out and just unsafe. And then cups dragging him back like when he got his body back and mugs finally felt safe enough to pass out.

Then jumps to when they were teens and when they were trynna help out a girl. I feel like these dreams are connected to irl happenings save for a few twists. It seems like he was still relaxed at this point since in the dream he wanted to help out a lost child and laughing despite being hunted by police. But then it changes, he snaps back to being on guard but the dream rather shows WHY he has to snap back. The mom coming back for her child with police, and Cup's head cracking and bleeding out and then being caught.

And then Astro changes it to him just catching butterflies with Elder Kettle and Cups

====================================

Now I have a few questions here at this point: 1. How is Oona here specifically? I answered that as a connection to the dreams being real happenings with a real background instead of it just being black like the other 3 but that's just a theory, follow up question: did they kill Ortensia??

Might be overkill tbh, maybe make it to the point she was bedridden. Because there has been BLARING hints to Mother Blot being Ortensia and there must have been a reason for Mickey to even begin experimenting no? Think about it! The INK machine CREATED toons! And the blot has an inky like substance, what if he was trying to revive her? VERYYYY BIG STRETCH but you get my point yes?

2. Why did Astro put them in better dreams in the first place? He was trying to get information yes? Especially if they were dangerous. So why happy dreams? Why not something that could give him more information?

Anw back to the program

====================================

=Boris=

Him starting out as normal life just working and then suddenly BLASTS a headless man at him and then Mugman bombarding him with questions and hurrying him. That's very much a callback to how sudden everything was for him no?

His life seems mundane. Constantly hanging around bendy, not having much friends of his own. Even after the Blot he was just worried about Bendy! Always trying to find a solution and dragging him out to help but never any big action right?

They BOTH didn't think the bar would actually be useful and suddenly they have the COLLECTORS on them. HITMEN are chasing them. And then Boris guides the gun to Cup's head- boom. No time to think about that no no no, you're still in forest with zombies hunting for your SOUL. Are you gonna save yourself and swing or are you gonna try to be a hero? Now he's rushed into a train with a monster behind them in a narrow tunnel and his life is now on a thread.

That was fast right? That's exactly how his dream was but when he tries to run from that, Bendy catches him. His one worry catches him. He's reminded of why he can't be a coward... The only person in his life is melting away...

And well it cuts to Astro changing it to a happy dappy dream where bendy is trynna take his mind off of things! Back to when things were still normal

=Cuphead= TW: mentions of suicide and suicidal ideation. Please SCROLL immediately if this triggers you.

Cuphead couldn't sleep, it hurt too much. So Astro had to make him relax! Right? He falls back into gambling, the one passion he loves. Something that he does everyday! Even with his life. Russian roulette.

It's obvious cuphead doesn't care much about his own life considering the bet with Boris and it has been confirmed that he has suicidal ideation. And honestly... Yeah sometimes that thought can be relieving... (Do NOT ask me about that thank you!) Esp after all that happening? Man...

He lifts the bag and blood spills on his younger self. Probably when it started. And then the teen is jumpy, excited, downright impatient. Then of course the adult is pulling the trigger. The one who's lived with it the longest. Cuphead sees the gun, grabs it and click click click! Still alive! Huzzah?

He wants to die. That much is obvious. Especially when he tries to shoot himself with no hesitation. But he can't die. He already did. But he came back on his own volition. Mugman. He can't just leave his brother alone! I'm so sure he would've appeared even if Astro didn't change anything.

And then it changes again, to him getting his raggedy fucking shoes. I hate this guy/jk

[the-irreverend]

And stay safe everyone!

[aropride]

realizing there's no logical reason for the characters to be doing the thing you want them to be doing

realizing that just means you can find an illogical reason instead

[klonoafan5]

finally drew the super trope guardians or the STGs! for context, these two are the sonic equivalent of Four and Three in a universe where the events of SMG4 happened in said universe.

[klonoafan5]

just realized i picked the wrong colors for themmm

welp good thing i no longer draw :D

[flightyalrighty]

never sand down your story or your characters to make them more appealing to a wider audience, ok? Do what YOU want
