Item: The Scream Rarity: ⏶ Common

What is the scariest game you've ever played?

Feed your dashboard by answering my question, blogger.

Messing around with the April fools thing

If it’s games I’ve finished probably Signalis? If unfinished games count then I’d Darkwood maybe.

Related tangent! If I get back into gaming with my buddies maybe I’ll draw something for that. I really enjoyed my little collab with phoenix :3

[lemon-grenades]

it was @phoenixpearl-ashes turn to play signalis while i watched and unhelpfully ate a hot pocket the whole time. so i made a reversed version of their awesome drawing of us playing last time!

i'm trying to get back into physical art since i picked up some ohuhu lining markers which were on sale, but i'm still coloring digitally.

[wizardarchetypes]

I want to write a book called “your character dies in the woods” that details all the pitfalls and dangers of being out on the road & in the wild for people without outdoors/wilderness experience bc I cannot keep reading narratives brush over life threatening conditions like nothing is happening.

I just read a book by one of my favorite authors whose plots are essentially airtight, but the MC was walking on a country road on a cold winter night and she was knocked down and fell into a drainage ditch covered in ice, broke through and got covered in icy mud and water.

Then she had a “miserable” 3 more miles to walk to the inn.

Babes she would not MAKE it to that inn.

Are there any other particularly egregious examples?

[theglintoftherail]

This book already exists, sort of! Or at least, it’s a biology textbook but I bought it for writing purposes:

It starts with a chapter about freezing to death, and it is without a doubt the scariest thing I’ve read in years (and I read a lot of horror fiction).

This book can be downloaded for free on Researchgate, posted there by the author himself:

The Biology of Human Survival: Life and Death in Extreme Environments

I need to draw this

[lemon-grenades]

this one goes out to all my fellow sss warriorcats fans!

I've been rewatching it and had to try my hand at the style. the cats are from clangen, @phoenixpearl-ashes and I got strangely similar cats so I'm headcannoning them as sisters. the names are a mouthful though! midnightfreckle is on the left, and bluebellfur is on the right.

[lemon-grenades]

im so sorry

*ART FIGHT RECAP* (pt.2)

Defenses! big big thank u to everyone who attacked me, it's always just the coolest thing to see that someone else chose to draw my little guys. yall put so much effort in this year, and i'll be riding the high until next year.

swampfiend's sick asf take on Jane Doe, and 2 page comic(!!!!) with Caisson and Wick. My first angst defense about them! <3

@doodling-fern's adorable take on my pathetic little fursona, Lemon

@owlart18's kickass crossovers! I was so happy to see my favorite troublemakers interact with their ocs!!

buglet_draws made Lemon Drops look sooooo cute here! I love the little blushes and cat mouth, she looks so sweet.

The way Resiking20 made Lemon look sooo comfy had me fighting not to take a nap in the middle of the day. if grass wasnt so itchy id be doing that all the time.

zorraza did suuuch a good job with Mallory! that conflicted look, despite all the blood on her hands, is just so on point. My biggest regret of artfight this year is not getting the chance to revenge this one. I've already got a character picked out for next year, so I'll have to make it up then!

almost forgot to list FireLordDoodles' mass attack! i always forget they're listed in a separate tag. It was so cool to be included in another dnd mass attack, which had the unexpected extra benefit of introducing me to the other artists featured! They really captured Kellas' big big eyes :3

Thanks again for taking the time to attack my ocs! It really means the world to me. See yall next year! :3

[lemon-grenades]

*ART FIGHT RECAP*

yooooooo I had so much fun this year! So many more of my irl friends joined, and it was just such a blast. I always wish I could do more attacks and revenges, but there's only so much time in the month T^T

I'm going to post my attacks and defenses separately, bc I'd feel weird tagging other people's work with #my art, even if it's just bc they're bundled together.

so here are all my attacks! (below the cut)

Characters and their owners (in order of appearance):

amber - @doodling-fern

Nova Everdusk - @owlart18

Feral redesign of Nova Everdusk, Feral Kellas - @owlart18, me

Lydia Walker - swampfiend

Printer, Lemon Drops - buglet_draws (instagram), me

Esther - Resiking20 (deviantART)

I've mostly abandoned my Instagram acct, so I may start reposting some of my old work here. I never really set out to make a following or anything and using instagram has always felt more of like a business thing to me, so I hope it'll sit more nicely on my dash.

Mildly related, but I've been cooking on some long-term projects for a long while now, and I'm really hoping I can get something solid together while I have the extra time for it. Maybe bringing over my old art will motivate me, show off my style progression a bit, and let my beloved mutuals know I still remember my password lol

[lemon-grenades]

finally finally calling this done! I've had this on the backburner since 2022 and I'm so happy with how this little gif came out! Between my kind of terrible methods of animating and complete hatred of drawing backgrounds, it's a miracle I actually went back and finished it. Maybe I'll throw her in one of those youtube "playlist of songs to relax and study to" videos.

[lemon-grenades]

I ended up putting it on YouTube! I put rain noises in the background and my cool and talented friend Linthesizer let me use their music. I’m so happy with how it turned out! I like going back to it and just throwing it on in the corner while I work on other stuff now.

Here’s the link!

[lemon-grenades]

I am once again begging my mutuals to play Of The Devil. These terrible women haunt my mind

Anyway, they deserve to make out sloppy style, as a treat

[lemon-grenades]

redesigned an old mlp oc for artfight!

i'm also LemonGrenades on artfight, come look at my guys

[lemon-grenades]

@phoenixpearl-ashes and I put together pokemon teams for some of the Disco Elysium characters for shits and giggles, but it ended up being such a fun idea that I drew them! They might drop the explanations/full teams for these guys and other side characters I didn't have time for, so shuffle on over there.

Kim with his Staraptor and Harry with his Feebas, Herdier, and Glameow. I wonder why he's looking so sadly at Glameow? :)

(more below)

Cindy, feeling so much like a member of team skull (name and all, lol), was the inspiration for this in the first place. Obstagoon, Snubbull, and Qwilfish suit her so well.

Couldn't help myself with this one, she would just fuck off on a Lapras when the going got rough.

__

Last but not least, one of the coolest things we did: A parallel team for Dora Ingurland and Dolores Dei.

Because Harry would absolutely deify anything associated with her.

Sawsbuck, Pyroar, Fearow, Musharna, Staryu, and Cottonee

Xerneas, Solgaleo, Jarachi, and Shaymin (Land Form)

__

Highly recommend trying something like this, it really was a blast figuring out thematically appropriate, materially realistic, and occasionally funny pokemon pairings for these characters.

Someone (you know who you are) has not gone to the library to work today (fucked up). Sending shame and disappointment your way (there's still time).
