Hello there, I'm Mack. I'm a 24-year-old Eldritch Thing that cooks for a living. Former code monkey. I make art and Engage in Fuckery when I feel like it.
I might make an actual rules page eventually, but it really boils down to use common sense, be kind, and don't interact with adult content if you're not an adult.
Experimenting with something a bit less realism more illustrative. Probably not going to finish it but enjoying the process!
Yes I am a hot Jango Fett truther, yes I did beat him up about it. Also hi yes he should have that dumb, glorious hockey guy mullet cut. Thank you and good night.
You don't even need to study for the Rorschach test, btw, it's super easy. All they do is show you a bunch of stupid pictures of your dad getting eaten by a horse
I'm only gonna bring this up now because IDK I just thought of it but quick PSA, with how popular early internet aesthetics are getting again, PLEASE remember to include seizure warnings when applicable. This is extremely important.
As someone who grew up in the early eye-strain geocities days of the internet where blinkies, blingees, cranked bright contrast/saturation, and stamps/flashing avatars were EVERYWHERE, just keep in mind how incredibly unsafe it was back then for those of us with epilepsy.
I distinctly remember there being SO FEW websites that were safe for me to use/interact with because of that, and don't even get me started on errors and pop-ups. You can have all the fun you want bringing back the aesthetics that you enjoy, but please don't bring back all the rampant ableism from that era along with it. Ok quick PSA done :]
#bury your gays and women in refrigerators and the black guy dies first are all about treating marginalized people like props#to further the story of the (white straight male) protagonist#that's not the same thing as a tragedy! some stories are tragedies! whose story has weight and meaning - that's the question
hi!! first of all, I just wanted to say how much I've adored your take on Maul 😭 I feel like you capture him in a way that's intense and intimidating but still lets him feel like an actual person underneath it all, which is such a difficult balance to strike.
This is also an incredibly specific request and you absolutely do not have to write it, but I have a very niche Maul headcanon that has been living in my brain for a while. I personally headcanon that Maul would purr.
Maybe it's something reader doesn't discover right away because he'd be absolutely horrified if anyone pointed it out, but after they're together for a while reader starts noticing this low rumbling sound whenever he's particularly relaxed, sleepy, comfortable, or being affectionate without realizing it 😭 Maul probably gets increasingly annoyed every time they bring attention to it 👹
Totally no pressure though! I know I request a lot and I feel bad but I just couldn't stop thinking about it and immediately thought of your Maul fic when the idea popped into my head 🖤 I just love your writing so much
Undisturbed

description: Maul purrs when you cuddle with him lol
warnings: none
notes: I've actually seen this hc before and I LOVE it so I leaned into the softness a lil more with this one
At first, whenever you sat beside Maul as he meditated, you always made sure to keep a careful distance between your shoulder and his. He didn't look at you as you lowered yourself down beside him, nor did he acknowledge the way you folded your legs and tried to mimic his stillness. But he also didn't tell you to leave, which you took as permission.
Over time, the distance between you had become smaller incrementally. You started sitting close enough that your sleeve sometimes brushed his arm, and then you let your knee rest lightly against his. Then you leaned your shoulder into him, and although his breathing changed so subtly that anyone else would've missed it, he remained exactly where he was, as if pretending your weight against his side had no effect on him at all.
Eventually, it became routine for you to curl up against him while he meditated, with your cheek pressed to his chest and one of his arms settled loosely around you. He'd made some excuse once about how your nearness forced him to tolerate distraction, which you didn't argue with. Even when his arm started tightening around you, definitely betraying that he enjoyed the closeness whether he'd admit it or not.
That's when you started noticing the sound. Just a low, rumbling vibration in his chest that you could feel humming against your cheek. It always happened when Maul had been still for a long while and his expression had softened just the tiniest bit, when your breathing had evened out against him and all else was quiet.
The realization of what exactly was going on hit you one day when you were half-asleep, your head resting against the center of his chest while one of his arms was looped around your waist. You were listening almost absently to that low rumble that came from deep in his chest, too sleepy to really register it until it hit you all at once.
Your eyes opened. Maul's eyes snapped open immediately after, suspicious like he'd sensed your thought forming and was already irritated.
"You're…you're purring," you said, delighted by the realization.
Maul stiffened and the sound stopped so abruptly that you almost felt guilty. "Go back to sleep."
You tilted your head up to look at him, keeping your cheek pressed to his chest. Your mouth was slowly curving upwards despite your best efforts to keep your expression neutral. "That wasn't a denial…" you pointed out.
"It was an instruction," Maul replied lowly, just a little snappishly. His arm around your waist didn't loosen in the slightest, though. "One you would be wise to obey."
You ignored the order. "You were purring," you said again instead, almost to yourself. You pressed your cheek harder against his chest like it would somehow bring the sound back. "I didn't even know you could do that."
Maul inhaled slowly like he was forcing himself in check, his eyes narrowed at you. "Do not be presumptuous," he scoffed. "Is it so shocking that there are things you have not yet learnt about me?"
It was such an obvious deflection that you had to try hard not to laugh, because you were pretty sure that laughing would make him dump you on the floor out of spite. "Fair point," you agreed. "But this may be my favorite thing I've learnt so far."
You could swear Maul almost rolled his eyes. "A meaningless physical response?"
"Not meaningless," you mumbled, pressing your face into his chest affectionately. "It means you're comfortable."
"It means I am undisturbed," he corrected you pointedly, though his arm shifted a little higher on your waist to draw you more securely against him in a way that kind of ruined whatever point he was trying to make.
You hummed softly and let your eyes drift closed again, deciding you'd irritated him enough for now. "All right. I won't disturb you then."
For several moments, Maul stayed rigid, still staring down at you. Then, little by little, the tension eased from him. He exhaled quietly, his arm loosening a little around your waist, and eventually, that low rumble in his chest returned.
You kept your face carefully tucked against him, hiding the smile you knew he could probably feel anyway.
"Not," Maul murmured firmly above you, "a word."
You bit your lip to keep the words down and obeyed only because that purr meant you'd already won anyway.
sorry I didn’t include the dih i spent hours trying figure out how it would look…so I gave up. HOWEVER, in the future when i draw him again it WILL be included. Also going to make an X account to post more freaky drawings so be prepared! Bye! ᶻ 𝗓 𐰁 .ᐟ
