#bearitt rambles

[flusteredfools]

Who's ready for summer camp~? Another simple ref for another AU finished! Might be the last one I manage before Art Fight starts but I'm proud of the few refs I did manage to complete this month between rl things and I hope to keep truckin on with the others as I make some life changes.

But anyway, some closer snips below!

Sun's vest accessories can change to anything that is "happy" or "nature" themed and where all given to him by campers. Though ones pictured here were given by some of his favorite campers

Moon doesn't like too much clutter on his vest but allowed one single star pin that was given to him by the first camper that got really attached to him.

They both have hundreds of friendship bracelets that were given by and made with their lil campers, so the designs can be anything. Though Moon doesn't like how they feel on his wrists so when wearing his they go over some wristbands.

The stripes on Sun's shorts are sewn in by Moon and Sun used bleach to paint the Stars and shine lines on Moon's shorts. And though not pictured in these refs, they did the same thing to each other's overalls.

Do you have any art or references for your Vampire Moon and Gravekeeper Sun at all?

I may have binged all their fics this morning and... Have a mighty need to doodle-

Also, daddy Sun? Sorry-

Sadly I only really have the one reference for them atm (Not counting the very scribbly doodles in my notebook of notes about them XD) but I did slap some colors on the rough concept sketch for you to hopefully give a better idea!

They're human/cyborg in this AU which I know isn't a fan fav but I struggled too much with writing a full robotic vampire concept OTZ

(Lots) More rambles and close ups under the cut!

AU:  My Midnight Monster

AU Summary: 

You love all things spooky and mysterious, a cryptid lover and enthusiast; someone who seeks answers no matter the results. So when you see an online forum mentioning rumors of people going missing in the town next to yours, on top of people claiming to see ghosts haunting the cemetery, well anyone who knows you isn’t surprised to hear you renting out a campsite in the town to figure out what’s going on. 

While on your investigation, you run into the town’s graveyard keeper, Sun, who you find out also runs the small town’s morgue. Sun is full of forced pleasantries and politeness, a wide smile that you can tell he doesn’t wear happily. He’s got a large burn over the left half of his face and pale blue eyes that no longer hold the wonder of the world. He doesn’t like you poking around the cemetery, constantly trying to convince you to just leave.

In an effort to keep you away he tells you about himself, how he got his burns and robotic limbs in an accident before he moved to this quiet town to get away from his past. Though you can feel he still doesn’t like you too much, you can also tell that you’re slowly growing on him. A slowly growing friendship that takes an unexpected turn one night when you don’t listen to him and venture back into the graveyard at night; wanting to simply pick up the camera you forgot earlier.

Holding your camera is someone you haven’t seen around before, just as tall and imposing as Sun, as pale as the moon, with deep blue eyes that rival the night sky and hair as dark as soot. You stop in your tracks but not before you’ve drawn his attention, a grin so sharp it makes your heart race as it splits his face. Your heart threatens to burst as his eyes flicker to red with a deep chuckle as he introduces himself as a friend of Sun’s, known as Moon.

Pairing: Vampire Moon/Graveyard Keeper Sun (Same body) x Cryptid Researcher Y/N (Neutral)

Graveyard Keeper Sun

If you read the drabbles already (all of which currently are nsfw sorry to non-smut lovers 😔), then you know he's not a super nice guy (anymore) and especially not to hobby journalist "cryptid researchers"

He was very much burned by the world and holds a lot of resentment now. He contently (he's actually very happy about it don't let him lie to you) runs the small town's morgue while also being the sole caretaker to the cemetery.

It lets him take care of his basic vampiric needs (it's not ideal but drinking the drained blood from the corpses he's sent works to keep him/Moon fed - he'll buy older less producing livestock if the craving for something fresh is too strong) as well as gives him a peaceful sense of duty and helping others.

After his past (how he became a vampire and gained his artificial limbs) he's no longer sensitive to dead bodies or gore, and finds a gentle peace in being able to offer care to the dead and a place of comfort for the ones still living with their ghost.

He actually loves gardening and caring for flowers, so each grave is kept in a lovely condition and if the loved ones of the deceased want, he'll happily plant and tend to flowers/plants of their choice around the gravesite. But he'll never to admit to loving flowers, he'll always say he doesn't love anything anymore; but you could see it in his work, in how he treats the graveyard and its visitors (well except for you for the most part)

Sun does not give himself nearly the same amount of care, he meets only his basic needs and almost nothing more. His hair is always a mess, constantly ruffled from wearing his hood to hide his face and he almost never brushes it unless he needs to be more formal for a funeral or visitation for guests. His boots are always muddy and for the most part so is his cloak and coat; he doesn't mind the dirt since he spends most his days in it.

Sun is stubborn and has strong willpower, if needed he can suppress changing into Moon and will just suffer an intense migraine and sickness.

Vampire Moon

From the drabbles I hope I conveyed how utterly and deeply in love with you Moon is, that man fell hard and fast the moment he caught you sneaking into the cemetery that night. You were the first thing in his entire existence that made him feel such a strong desire; he never wanted much of anything until he picked up on you.

He has an eternity to spend alive and none of it had meaning or felt worth living until you. This vampire wants you on every level, your blood, heart and soul. He considers himself a romantic and for the most part he's very optimistic, much more so than Sun, who has given up on finding love ever again.

While he has the power to make you submit and just become his, he wants you to give him all of you freely; which considering your over ecstatic feelings on meeting a real life vampire isn't a big ask from you, though he does want you to want him and not just because he's a vampire. But he's also pretty happy to take whatever he can get from you.

He has a lot of Sun's same control and willpower, though he cannot suppress Sun and the change will always take place around dawn, but it means he very rarely would ever lose control of his vampiric urges and hurt anyone (well who doesn't deserve it.)

Where Sun doesn't care much at all for his appearance, Moon does; he thinks they need to be taking better care of their body, it's the only one they got. So after the transformation when golden hair turns to a sooty black, skin turns a deadly pale shade with ears and claws sharpening and irises fill with a deep blue hue, Moon will take the time to groom and care for them both.

He'll wash and comb their hair and scrub any dirt and built up mud from their clothing. Moon will also prep food for Sun to eat the next day and will be the one to drink the blood their body requires. Stale old blood is not Moon's favorite but he makes do with it, happy to keep the peaceful life they've managed.

Misc Rambles

I do have worries about having their skin color shift, as I worry it might be offensive but I wanted to keep the aspect of their single body switching to two different people; and a stark difference in their appearance like pale skin for Moon vs the tanned skin of Sun (pale skin to show lack of outdoors in the sun vs high times outdoors in the sun) felt like a good design choice.

Sun is very much a heavy work centric guy, he doesn't want to spend time "enjoying" anything else; his work is the only thing he feels he truly has left. While Moon seeks enjoyment in very task and tries to relax and just "live" for the both of them.

Sun being fed up with the world and being selective in where he shows his care, I wanted to reflect how I think canon Sun would be. He's capable of having those soft feelings and of showing them when he feels he needs to but also knows when he doesn't. So if you show that you won't listen or respect the rules, you get a sassier Sun.

For Moon I wanted to show how he's this dangerous being but with control over himself he's just a person wanting to be loved for who he is; more than just his parts and the rumors that get tied to vampires.

Both feel like they're less than human but carve someone to still show them human decency, kindness and touch. They're fiercely loyal once they trust you.

Clothing wise their wardrobe is fairly dated, older styles mostly with the only modern wear being a handful of sleepwear that they find soft and comfy.

but okay that's probably enough rambling that no one really asked for XD though I am happy to ramble more later or doodle more when I have the time if anyone is interested in seeing/learning more of them. So feel free to ask me (or them) any questions at any point! <3

[flusteredfools]

I wouldn't mind seeing all of the Naga Boy's giving Harpy YN some smooches. Maybe really capture the differences in how they show their birdy love how much they adore them.

(old ask that I was saving <3)

Naga Moon loves kissing at his little Dove's neck. He can feel your pulse flutter and breathe in your scent easier there and it usually leaves their little birdie squirming in his hold. Giggles and rattling echoing out.

Naga Sun loves kissing at your lips, as much as he loves kissing you, he loves being kissed back; but he especially loves to kiss near the corner of your mouth where he can feel with you quirk them up into a smile while kissing him. He's also in the habit of trying to hold your face still so he can take as many kisses as he desires <3

Naga Eclipse loves kissing at your chest above where your heart resides. He'll nuzzle into your skin between your feathers to get as close to the beating muscle as possible, if you stay quiet you'll hear soft whispers he'll try to drown out under his tail rattle. If you sing and pet his head and frills while he's there, you'll have a puddle of a beast laying on top of you.

Whats ur favorite animal so far Blaze & Ember?

"I liked the Phoenix Harpy!" Blaze yells, holding out several glowing pendant necklaces-exclusive merch sold during the Siren of the Skies show. "I got so many of their feathers! They light up like fire! But aren't hot or anything! I'm gonna hang them up on my dreamcatcher!"

"...the sirens." Ember whispers while avoiding your eyes, timidly holding his Koi Siren plush for you to see.

"If you squeeze the siren's hand it sings! Their songs were okay but Phoenix's are better!" Blaze adds, "The siren's songs were boring and almost put me to sleep."

Art Fight

An art gifting game

Sooo trying to refind my creative spark to drive more fun and joy for my hobbies and fan creations again and what better way than by joining a giant online fight? XD Especially cause this years theme is calling to my soul, I adored the trailer animation so much.

Atm I've only got my own DCA Au's up on there and some of them don't even have decent refs, so I'm going to try to work on that too but probably won't make it before it starts.

I will probably focus on fnaf/dca oc's and maybe LoZ and I'm setting a personal goal of revenging every attack I get and hoping I manage it at least but basically I will be trying my best and hoping that it will help me enjoy creating again

so feel free to leave me your link too if you want!

[flusteredfools]

trying to get some new mermay art out and decided on some pocket zoras! so here's a lil wip and now I'd like some help deciding if I should go ahead and include Eclipse as well?

Would you want a lil Pocket Zora Eclipse?

Ofc! How is this even a question?

Nah, I've only got room for Sun and Moon

I don't mind either way

Voting ended onMay 20

[flusteredfools]

I am here again to offer up my services as a babysitter or nanny to his highness, Prince Eclipse!

*slides over list of my qualifications*

I am very adept at caring for children! I would love to serve the royal family to the best of my ability. That is of course if I am granted the honor to do so!

*while saying this, sneakily hands Eclipse a small blueberry muffin*

*Intense judging while reading over your qualifications*

"Offer accepted!" Eclipse shouts happily stuffing the entire muffin into his mouth.

"Eclipse, you know better. Royals don't take bribes."

Truly there's only Moon you have to impress, Sun and their Royal Hy/ness are a lot less strict; and Eclipse is always happy to make another friend. <3
