I have fallen deeply obsessed again with jolly good, and as a consequence, Fitzie. Here he is with my mc nadiya :] you can read a little about their relationship here
fanart for @wardencommando / Byacolate of their Jolly Good MC and M! Fitzie. Second img is a self-indulgent cover of their incredibly life changing fic "Sea Geese on the Steep Waves" !
had a fun thought that since canonically only argent knows juna is anarchonic, i wanted to make his villain suit very obvious on purpose because it's funny
more details below:
1. As mentioned above, Juna isn't guilty in my playthrough nor he's a known villain. Only Argent is aware (after he told her at the auction and then they kissed) and in others Chen figured it out as well but mostly he's very much safe. So, I had a funny thought of instead making him mysterious I'll just fuck around and make his villain suit so blatantly obvious (if you know him personally) BECAUSE IT'S FUNNY. Does it make sense? No. Did he get caught? Also no. Maybe he's just that good at manipulation. People see this mf running around the city and are like "ah whoever could that be? Couldn't be Juna that man is retired"
2. Since Juna is known as Sundanese, his suit is kind of inspired by Indonesian folklore, namely Lutung Kasarung, Wiro Sableng and Si Pitung. The fabric wrapped around his waist is supposed to be sarung or kain lilit, a traditional fabric but simplified. He also wears a traditional Sundanese headpiece sometimes (when he wants to show off) called totopong merak ngibing. People usually wear it as decoration for events but can also be worn daily. The specific shape is chosen because it resembles punk spikes lmao.
3. It also took inspiration from Spiderpunk because that's very much Juna's entire political view lol. I love the torn vest. Added Anarchonic's symbol at the back to look like he painted over it
4. Juna's whole color schemes are red/yellow/black!! and his symbol is the sun (because his name basically means Sun Victor)
5. For the head, I made Anarchonic's eyes resemble cicada's compound eyes and the telepathic enhancer its simple eyes. The reason is just because I associate Juna with cicadas, those are basically his spirit animal (stay underground, some emerged to the surface annually or only every 17 years. LOUD AS FUCK yet very hard to spot and captured. emerged after years just to scream. super sneaky. literal symbolism of rebirth. long ass lifespan yet they live immaturely (could live underground for decades and then died shortly in adulthood), APOLLO'S PERSONAL SACRED BUG))
6. THE PENIS... also a funny shit I came up with that Anarchonic likes doodling dicks when his fans ask for an autograph. Someone on the internet pointed out that there's a difference in how Indonesians and foreigners draw dicks?? Usually it's drawn from the side view but Indonesians tend to draw it from top. So I have a hc that Juna usually draws it from the side to avoid suspicion, yet he once slipped and accidentally drew it from the top. (+ ortegaclue) (this is somehow important. Why.)
I’d love to hear more about your sidestep, if there’s anything you’d like to share? No pressure!
ahh hi ty for ur interest!! <3 I'm actually making a character sheet for them, but in the meantime (bc im slow) i'll go thru the basics and some tidbits
Their name is Nguyen Ngoc (they/them), they were known as Charge's sidekick--and they were kissing in closets or wtv--before heartbreak. Their villain name is Anathema and their identity was discovered by the end of retri lmao. Also a Juliamancer! goodness!
Misc facts abt them;
their favourite genre is Visual Kei, some of their favourite bands are BUCK-TICK, Malice Mizer, and Dir En Grey. (their design is also heavily inspired by this genre!) (also give them a listen if you'd like)
They're a bit of an adrenaline junkie, and they enjoy running as a hobby
Their favourite "sound" is the letter "N", hence their name, the name of their puppet (Niv), and the name of their dog in some aus (Mina-Na for short).
They wear black eyeliner/eyshadow and leave it on for days so they get eye infections frequently, as a result they r missing a lot of eyelashes.
perhaps this wasnt the most interesting read, apolocheese! but ty regardless for the ask, anon<3
ty to @drymouther for the tag. i'll "tag" (anglerfishjellies) in spirit, @aliturean , and whoever else comes across this post!

writing-wise, ive made some structural headway. not so much for actual text, but i think it's nice to work write with a little more clarity now. so im throwing this vague plot diagram and a few (but not all) section titles here:
for years ive struggled with writing to a plot template. they never made much sense to me. this video (youtube link) and it's accompanying document (google docs) blew my fuckin mind when it came to structure. writing to an outline seemed feasible, for once.
as for art wips, here's @lukaile's sidestep ngoc nguyen (they/them) with julia ortega. it needs some refining.
if you 🫵 want to do a wip-anytime, have at it @b33tlejules (hope ur woods excursion went well); @silvery-bluish; @disastersteps; @steponamine; @sunsetno4 and anyone else who wants to do this!
10 silly concepts/drawings/sketches i really like, (in no order) as done by @b33tlejules
limiting this to 10 images in the last 2 years... some of this fandom stuff, some of this not.
if you see this and wanna share the 10 works you're proud of, tag me!
1 - oc drawing. rp w a friend abt psychic aliens. hiding in a hotel bathroom for safety, yeah
2 - gift art for @/disastersteps who got me into fhr
3 - these panels for an abandoned chargestep comic
4 - the art for this other chargestep comic is really really rough (i hadn't drawn lots in 2 years) but im proud of my paneling work on the last page. i don't think ill reupload it though
5 - i won't post the whole sequence here, but i really like my paneling work w this oriana and dakshini comic as well
6 - some painting exploration w three of my ocs. very rarely does color click for me, and it definitely did when i was painting this
7 & 8 - though ive refined both of these a little more, im very fond of this screenshot i took. top: @/capricule's felix, @/anglerfishjellies' oscar; bottom: my chris, @/capricule's cyrus.
9 - this chris drawing...
10 - one last chris drawing...
if you've made it this far, thank you for looking. sharing online is often hard-- most posts don't make it past the drafts. so thanks, again <3
