I'm playing around with some ideas for a bloodymary small town cosmic horror AU.

In this one Grace would be a physics researcher, who published a highly controversial paper connecting quantum physics to some obscure occult traditions. After the disastrous conference he moves in with old friends of his parents (Rocky and Adrian) to try and get his life back together. Simultaneously trying to ignore strange memories, weird happenings around town, and a local religious sect lurking in the background.

Struck by inspiration today, another art for "stray mongrel" by @clamberclogs .

This time brought on by a super cool dreamy transition between pov's.

Fic link for the brave (the thing is beautiful but graphic, so be warned): https://archiveofourown.org/works/87709456/chapters/232424981

(Also heya Clamber clogs! I read your reblog and I'm so super happy you liked it!! Ur fic is great and I hope you will continue to write, like really, it's pretty epic, and I hope more ppl will find it now)

Finished up some fanart for an amazingly written fic by @clamberclogs i read a couple of weeks ago. It's called "stray mongrel", and both it's pacing and descriptions are super cool.

Fair warning, it is pretty graphic, but if that's your thing you are gonna be in for a treat!

Inspired by @ctrl-shift-alt-9 's headcanon about Simon mining asteroids as a convict I decided to headcanon a design for a four convict mining unit. I'm not the most comfortable in photobash but it really felt like the perfect medium for this one.

Portable mining units

As I envision it this MS's would be a small part of C.O.I's mining operation. Leaving prisoners inside mostly on their own for better or for worse, with not much guard oversight in terms of rationing or behaviour, the shittiness of the circumstance would depend mostly on who you are stuck with. And considering the relative autonomy, being considered for MS work would be the kind of thing you get for good behaviour.

Otherwise you just get to work in the bigger supervised mine or the refineries (which I might also concept out later).

(Also I would consider it funny that the C.O.I owns both an SM and an MS 13 and both had the same unlucky convict inside at some point.)

More headcanons

- The mining stations are all equipped with a radio that is supposed to only serve as communication with nearby tow ships, but there is a way to jail break/jerry rig them into taking external signals. The convicts that can do that are valuable in prison society. The jail broken communicators are mostly used to listine in on passing vessels, or sometimes even far away eden scavenger transmissions or something like it. If a mining operation is all made out of previous eden brothers, that is most likely what they do in their free time.

- a sub headcanon to this is an actual pirate radio station in the iron lung universe, but I think I'll make a separate post for that.

-All the mining suits are numbered, and since Korean culture might have survived in space I think number 4 is still considered unlucky. Simon usually gets the number 4 suit

-The crews are usually chosen at random but you can cash in favours to be with the same people twice in a row, I wouldn't say it's common, but there are reoccurring crews that are somehow bonded on these missions (I don't think a cosmic misery universe is complete without a little bit of hope)

hi I love the art for the fic aperture, but I can't access Ao3. Can u plz post the fanfic on Tumblr? I really wanna read 🥺

Hi! I don't think I'm the right person for the ask xp the fic belongs to @birdbyrne so you should ask them instead.

(although it sounds pretty inconvenient so you should probably work on your access problem instead)

[potejto-potato]

Names...

It's funny how some names survive when others don't.

I had a strong vision for this one.

[potejto-potato]

Well this frickin sucks.

Might post it again later I guess??

If anyone knows how to fix stuff like that let me know T^T

Edit:

Omg raporting it as a bug actually worked! Thanks everyone for the comiseration and words of encouragement!

The brain worm of "aperture" continues to burrow in my brain.

Edit:

I have never recieved so much attention in my life, I am in tears! I love reading all your tags T^T Also check out the fic! It's really really good!

[potejto-potato]

Another art for @birdbyrne 's fic "aperture", I am absolutely enthralled by the character writing o^o

Also, I know Simon has a regular eye patch in the canon arts, but I just felt like a medical, plaster type patch suited him better.

[potejto-potato]

I started reading this fic yesterday and it swallowed me whole until I binged all the chapters. ( aperture by @birdbyrne btw, it's amazing).

I will be posting more sketches when I finish them xp

I played a romance game a while ago, "Fields of Asphodel", and I drew some characters from it. (Not entirely canonical in design, just my musings)
