Slushfund

One of the Bugkini Squad members, who are based off the Insecticons from Transformers. They're the "mommies" of all the larva you see in Bog Town in Shantae: Risky Revolution.

so! been having something of an art block recently, so I decided to just sit down and force myself to draw something. which is how I ended up finally drawing out one of those Bug Mom redesigns I've had in my head for a while! not perfect but I was mostly just aiming to draw literally anything so the fact that it turned out as good as it did makes this a success to me

aside from the obvious (extra arms, bee stinger and bigger wings, plus a more Superman-esque build rather than the usual hourglass) I didn't actually change the design much! Slushfund definitely has the most solid of the designs to me so. yeah not much I need to say here.

I will say the reason she has a whistle is funny; right near the end of me finishing the design I was suddenly hit with the thought of "huh. she kinda reminds me of a lifeguard for some reason" so I threw a whistle in there. maybe she's the lifeguard of all the kids the bug moms have making sure they're safe swimming in the swamp or something

"do it. i dare you." iceangel

"do it. i dare you."

Warren’s not good at parties. He gets drunks too fast and leaves with the first boy that gives him attention. So that’s why he took Bobby with him to this one not knowing that Bobby’s social awkwardness combined with his lack of social grace means they leave thirty minutes after arriving. 

It’s a cool night. So they walk back to Warren’s apartment where Bobby orders Chinese take out from the restaurant down the street. Bean curd for Warren, and broccoli and beef for Bobby. Usually they’d also order spring rolls, but it was too late at night for Warren’s stomach to handle anything fried. 

Bobby puts the phone down and walks into the bedroom where Warren’s sitting at the boudoir wiping off the mascara and concealer he was wearing. Warren says it’s the only for parties, the make up he wears, but there were occasions where he wore it to class or even to go grocery shopping with Jean and Hank. Despite the cockiness, Bobby knows there’s a little bit of insecurity behind Warren’s mask. 

“I dunno why you always wear this stuff.” Bobby says, picking up a tube of lipstick, “Seems exhausting.” 

He uncaps the golden lipstick tube. It’s a warm red color, somewhat muted. He’s seen Warren wear it before. 

“It’s fun. I like it.” Warren states, before grabbing another cotton ball and wiping his eyes. “You should try it sometime.” 

Bobby eyes the lipstick in his hand. “Don’t think I could pull it off. Plus it’s kind of weird when men wear makeup.” 

It’s half insecurity and half jealousy. 

“Do it. I dare you.” Warren leans onto the wood of the boudoir. “It’s cowardly when someone refuses a dare.” 

Bobby’s still seventeen years old underneath all the muscle and training. He isn’t going to let Warren win this, as silly as it may seem to everyone else. Bobby screws the bottom of the tube and then gives himself a hard look in the mirror. He was going to do this. 

His lips are much thinner than Warren’s. Warren was born with nice full lips, and Bobby took a lot after his father for most of his facial features. He carefully applies lipstick trying his best to stay within the lines with his shaky hands. He doesn’t quite like how it looked at him when he’s done. It looks awkward, like it’s not supposed to be there. 

“I don’t feel any fun.” Bobby says to Warren, returning the lipstick to him. “I feel a lot more ugly though.” 

“The fun part isn’t the lipstick itself, Bob.” Warren caps it, and then places it back into the drawer. “It’s when you kiss someone with it.” 

“Really?” Bobby asks, turning towards Warren. “Wanna prove it?” 

Warren smiles, and nods. They’re friends, and what’s a kiss between two friends?

“Yeah, come here.” He pulls Bobby down by wrapping his arms around his shoulders and gives him a kiss on the lips. Bobby obliges, and returns the kiss. The lipstick is messy and sticky, but Warren’s right, a kiss like that is a lot more enjoyable. Bobby doesn’t know why he likes kissing Warren so much, but he writes it off as the lipstick. 

When he pulls away, Warren’s covered in red pigment. But they don’t get a moment to talk about it, since the doorbell rings and their dinner awaits.

Episode 10041: I Thought You Said 'Slushy.'

A man of little pride, I have no shame telling you that I had to look up the term "slush fund" because I am a 29 year old man and I've heard that term for years not knowing what it meant. 

Per Wikipedia, "A slush fund, colloquially, is an auxiliary monetary account or a reserve fund. However, in the context of corrupt dealings, such as those by governments or large corporations, a slush fund can have particular connotations of illegality, illegitimacy, or secrecy in regard to the use of this money and the means by which the funds were acquired."

I'm watching House of Cards on Netflix right now and as entertaining as it is, I can't help but feel the sense of impending doom. Not for Kevin Spacey, but for our country. There are extremists that believe the apocalypse is going to start with our government collapsing. While I don't think it is going to be quite that dramatic, I do think that eventually all of the corruption will catch up to us. Money and greed are strong motivators and our system of government may not encourage corruption, but it certainly does very little to discourage it. 

I'm an optimist though, so I am confident that some day we will figure it out. Maybe we do need a zombie apocalypse to shake things up....
