basically i just sat down and drew a bunch of stuff and now i guess im posting them in reverse order of when i drew them??

mae did a pencil sketch a bit ago of herself in mad rat dead style so i cleaned it up digitally! MRD has such an awesome aesthetic and is all-around fun to look at (if you’re fine w/ cartoony gore, anyway)

I;m sure you got this ask already, but maybe the triple threat describing how they felt fighting TT?

hi this is 1/2 of the asks i was waiting for today to do bc i wanted to put effort into them

these designs are a weird inbetween of “official style” and the mostly-humanizations i did a bit ago! so i might use these now and then because theyre fun to draw

Right then, 3,4,25 and 🕴️this guy!

3. Who is the most similar to their source?

charles! also henry, maybe. i say “maybe” bc silent protagonists are hard to get a read on :p ALSO SHAY but also shay showed up after we were already writing shadoc content, so

theres also summer and cazwell but they dont really Count bc theyre fictives from a personal project that evolved into an ouroborous of “theyre from a source thats based off of themselves” once they established themself in-system and started contributing to it. it’s wild

4. Who is the most detached from their source?

pat is absolutely Bizarre because kie’s a dual fictive (aka is somehow a fictive from two different things at The Same Time, not in a kin way but in a "these are both Literally Me” way) but also is like near-totally disconnected from one of them and the other one kie didnt even realize kie’s a fictive of until looking back on stuff like “ah. hm. that makes sense”

in the case of people that AREN’T a fucking anomaly, nii doesnt really feel a whole lot of attachment to his source asides from the occasional joke about it. hes got personal reasons for it but it amounts to “my source sucks, thinking about it makes me feel a bad, im gonna Not”

25. free space! Give three random facts about an introject

scorps got excited over hearing that he exists, so im gonna talk a bit about Hiro!

. has difficulty sleeping, would stay up Super late all the time. mom had a tea that was supposed to help with sleep and it didnt really work on us BUT it worked on hiro when he was in front . was actually a main fronter for a while in 2017 before going inactive, he’s still around (pat actually woke him back up on accident a couple months ago) but doesnt hang out near front . really likes pokemon! his favs are rotom and growlithe. pat was convincing him to make a fursona that was a growlithe-rotom hybrid

🕴️  Is there anything you can do in headspace that you can’t do while fronting?

context: this is currently mae fronting, aka cat bastard

anyway IM SO MAD I CANT PURR AT FRONT its fucking adorable when i do it insys but when i try mimicking it it feels weird and Incorrect

meanwhile henry’s been consistently grumpy about having Communication Difficulties at front unless he’s using discord or our phone’s notes app bc insys he’s able to use sign language or clear gesturing to get across stuff he’s not able to say while he’s nonverbal but none of that translates over to front bc despite there being SEVERAL leos that have nonverbal episodes we havent actually gotten around to trying to learn ASL

the leo system discord is going well

ink: [looks like a big, scary monster and sounds extremely intimidating when she talks]

also ink: Dude, I should put Mae in a cat bag. It'd be hilarious.

today’s warmup doodles: mae thinking she’s hilarious

(the joke here is that mae is cat otherkin)

reminder: fiction affects reality, you can write dark themes but be aware of the effects its going to have on your readers, the things you make have consequences and you have to deal with it

mae makes a grave mae-stake
