I'm so sorry that I didn't reblog this sooner! I've been a little awol from Tumblr because reasons, but I cannot stop gushing on Discord.

I cannot express enough how much I love what you came up with, and they look so so good in your style! <333333333

PSA TO ANYONE WHO DOESNT EVEN MAKE ART, DISABLE AI DATA COLLECTION ON YOUR BLOG

ART REBLOGGED TO AN ACCOUNT WITH THIS ENABLED WILL ALLOW MIDJOURNEY TO USE THE ORIGINAL POSTERS WORKS WITHOUT THEIR CONSENT

[paragons-saga]

Just wanted everyone to know that my DeviantArt accounts are wiped. There's nothing to find there anymore except my stance against their new AI shit.

In case it isn't apparent, I do not consent to my art being used with any art AI scrubbing.

AI generators are fun and all, but if consent isn't given, it's theft. Images created by AI generation is not art.

[paragons-saga]

So I made something a little different than my usual. Purple tigers eye and white jade on a purple bonded nylon upholstery thread. Kotodama no Nenju necklace.

Sucker is hefty. It's a little like having a weighted blanket on my shoulders.

Once upon a time, I had a character that was vaguely inspired by Sonic. An invented species called a Ranca, it's a blend of a fox, a unicorn, and a gryphon.

So here's Glove the Ranca.

Yes, the whole "gryphon" thing is dubious in his design. Just the wings on him. But his mother was an anthropomorphic gryphon (I had like this whole thing about those in middle school and it lingered). I also had this thing about the metal plates and, because I liked SatAM even though I didn't care about the games, I explained it on him as a partial roboticization.

Came up with this whole thing around the time that "The World is Not Enough" was out on video, because I remember also drawing Pierce Brosnan saying "I never miss." on the same piece of paper that I was ideating the Ranca. I was watching the movie with my family at my BiL's apartment.

I was also very inspired by Luna Yoshi's art at the time, since I didn't really do much furry art.

Yeah, these two have more than a few things in common.

Decided to bust out my prismacolors for funsies. Been a while since I've used them.

“May I please draw your OC?”

Reblog this message if you encourage anyone that wants to draw your OC to do so.  No need to ask for permission in advance.

Go for it.  Draw my OC.  If you want, I’ll even give you reference posts.  Go to town on it.

You are welcome to draw my OC and surprise me with the result.  Seriously.  In fact, I encourage it.  I will proudly display whatever it is you submit to me regarding my OC.  There is a chance that I will squeal about it for several days.

Even if you feel you aren’t good at whatever artistic adventure it is you do, please feel free to submit it to me.  I want to see what you have done.

4 25 26 kei/yue 5 10 26 damask/errare

Kenan/Shanyue

4. Favorite non-sexual activity?

Actually, bathing together. It's way more of a social/bonding experience for them than anything sexy and it was legitimately the first real interaction they had upon meeting for the first time. I could actually expound on this quite a lot, since Kenan came from a background that was a lot more prudish about nudity and Shanyue came from a culture that doesn't automatically sexualize 90% of interaction between the sexes.

25. Who needs more assurance?

Kenan by a long shot. For all his attitude, he's really really insecure. Especially when he's being treated kindly. He's constantly waiting for the other proverbial shoe to drop.

26. Their theme song:

I haven't quite found a theme yet that fits the both of them together, but Gravity Eyelids is an easy contender. For a quick pick.

Damask/Errare

5. Who is most likely to carry the other?

If we're talking fully off the ground, Errare, purely in terms of height. He's taller and a bit broader in the shoulders (well, at least after he filled out, because he was a beanpole as an adolescent), so it's easier for him to lift Damask clear off the ground. However. If we're including something like a walking assist as carrying, Damascus 100%.

10. Who remembers what the other one orders at a restaurant?

Errare. He's not super showy about much anything, particularly in a close relationship (considers it private business and nobody else has any right to pry), so he generally shows his care in other ways. Little gestures and mindfulness. Like remembering a favorite order.

26. Their theme song:

You know, I never really had an official song for them before, but lately because I've been mulling over their past relationship a lot, I've been really feeling this one. "I said I'd never miss you, but I guess you never know. May the bridges I have burned light my way back home on the Fourth of July."

OC tober: Young and Old

In which Marta gets to meet her granddaughter. She's delighted that Nanek is such a bright and happy little girl, something that she wishes that her son could have had when he was little.

kei and yue for @paragons-saga

[paragons-saga]

I'm in fucking love.

Yall I can't recommend Sylvy enough for commission art.

[paragons-saga]

Them.

[vague-vixen]

Imagining Errare resting his head against Damask's shoulder and Damask having his arm around his shoulders in such an intimate closeness like two old war bros. No they've never had sex with each other or dated or anything but they have a bond that goes deeper than what most people experience in their lives.

Which is why after the Thing happens, Errare is so so angry and so so hurt that a century or more later that his bitterness hasn't quelled from the betrayal, and Damask has to live with that loss.

No one knows what it's like to be the bad man. To be the sad man. And no one knows what it's like to be hated. To be fated to telling only lies.
