Art Fight 2023 | 01 - Familiar?

A drawing of Titus for @clownboyskingdom ! As soon as I read it, I knew I wanted to illustrate this snippet. :)

.

[Image description: An illustration of Titus Macrides, who is a scruffy young white man with heterochromia, blond hair in an undercut with waist-length top hair that has flowers woven into it, and hand tattoos. He is holding a scraggly old tabby cat with one eye, and posed as if taking a selfie with said cat in a graffiti-covered alley. The second image is the same, but with a filter applied as if the image had been taken by an out-of-focus camera and displayed on a low-quality, pixelated screen. End ID.]

How would a fandom actually treat you?

.

Ithadel: Nerd

NERD. Fucking nerd. You're not that popular in fanfics or writing, but youve got a LOT of art, probably some edits too! You're a really fun character, and people love your character design- but theres not much to do with you when most of the scenes about you are just a joke about how smart you are.

Oscar: Smol bean *///*

Ahaha oh no you got the worst option. Okay lemme reemphasize, this test is about how the fandom SEES you, not how you actually are. But you're probably cutesy, most likely have anxiety or depression, and you're gay. They're gonna be calling you a kawaii smol bean cinnamon roll owo and drawing you in flower crowns. Im, so sorry.

Still running after snagging from @theovergrowth !

Continued from X // @theovergrowth​​

Lilli was honestly kinda excited to see some of his abilities. She hadn’t had the pleasure to meet many Fae before, and neither the pleasure to meet one who was a bit more normal. And hey, she wanted to see a bit of his abilities, and he wanted to see some from her. So, that seemed like a good deal. The mage just gave Titus the thumbs up as he got ready to show her the one ability that she truly was the most excited about. Changing into an animal. 

The mage watched as his eyes suddenly took a golden glow, and he was hidden by glowing plants, just for them to fall away and reveal a deer with strange antlers. Okay. Even if she wouldn’t know that he was a fae, that whole appearance sure screamed that this was no normal deer.

“ Oh wow! I mean, it really isn’t the most convincing with the tree branch-antlers, but I still zhink it’s very cool! “

She spoke, and stepped a bit closer to the animal that was Titus. before reaching a hand out to touch him. Forgive her, but despite her usually keeping some distance, she still couldn’t resist.

“ Really, zhis is amazing! And I guess you vould like to see some of vhat I can do~? “

Titus had seen and experienced many things: meeting The Wilds and having his mind momentarily expand to comprehend it, the viscera and gore that came with The Overgrowth, the carnage.

But nothing like this.

Well, it was a little familiar. That feeling in his brain was different, but the sensation wasn’t wholly alien to him. Still, that didn’t stop it from making his head feel like it would be ripped inside-out.

The grass was shuddering, wrapping around his legs, obviously shaken and put on guard by the situation. The branches creaked, ready for whatever he would need from them.

“H-hey, pal.” Oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck- “Do you, uh, are, are, can I, do you-.”

Wait. He knew that smell.  “…Snapper..? Holy shit, are you ok?! What’s happenin’- do you- I-I can heal ya, or take ya to a doctor, or, or, uhhh, shit, what do you need?”

Whats left of his breath hisses out between his teeth- mouth filling and dripping and oozing with venom. He's hungry. An arm- a wasp leg- a jagged thorn stabs into the ground. His body ripples- insect wings made of gossamer leaves and wooden ribs flutter at his back- as he drags his eyes towards meat blood magic Titus.

Red eyes dig into green- burrowing and bleeding honey-blood sap. Whats left of a mouth moves- a swarm of wasps buzz in his throat and the sound echoes in the cavern of his chest.

I SAID

He's hungry.

GO AWAY

He's starving.

The writhing mass of body and brood twists, vine and limb snapping toward Titus and jerking- skittering backwards under thin restraint. Predator eyes and eyes and eyes fix on the warm body- beating heart- and he can’t stop himself now, all instinct and hunger-

Red lunges forward- an arm, a hand and hand and vine and pincers reaching and grabbing and squeezing- grip tight enough to break bone- as his body wraps itself around his friend and his thorn sharp teeth sink into soft skin in a single vicious bite.

(Positivity meme that I've been hoarding for months >_>;)

Very kind vibes! Enthusiasm and interest that I appreciate so much and that are absolutely contagious <3 And I love how many ideas Robbie has! I always perk up a bit when I see a headcanon post or a piece of artwork, and many of @theovergrowth's interaction ideas or snippets of character scenarios are just an absolute delight.

I also love how well his experiences and interests weave into his writing, it’s always neat to hear about the things that inspire him! :D

Linast: They dont

Im sorry but who are you. Cishet normal person with no mental problems? Yeah they ain't gonna give a fuck abt you. Sorry bro

.

Phosa: projector

Your canon character is pretty vague. Maybe you don't know what you’re feeling, maybe you just dont talk about it- though, you're not underdeveloped per say, you're just not open about your own personal problems. This means, everyone is able to project on you. Any issue the fandom may have can be projected onto you, and it all actually makes sense. Any headcanon can fit canon. Goodluck with ur gender crisis btw

How would a fandom actually treat you?

Diamond: Annoying side character

Honestly, if you were a main character you'd be popular, but you fit into a very specific category- "Underdeveloped side character who shows up halfway into the show and gets no development, who acts like they're better then every main character and is way too over powered." Making it so, the fandom hates you. You had potential to be a good character, it was the writers who handled it baldy- but god they hate you, they hate you so much.

. Clemcy: Schrodingers gender

If you're a man, masc aligned nonbinary, or just nonbinary, the fandom loves you. They also mischaracterize you to HELL and back- like oh my god. Im so sorry but you're like, the bakugo of this fandom. Though, you're probably like, less of an asshole then these characters tend to be. My point is just, you're angry, you defend yourself, you're loud- and the fandom is gonna woobify you until you're not even the same character. If you're a woman or fem aligned nonbinary, they hate you. They don't even TRY to hide the misogyny. Despite you acting the EXACT same as your masc counterpart, they despise you and exaggerate your few negative traits so they feel justified with their hatred. Anyways, as a person you're cool, in the actual media you'd be cool, but regardless of anything else, the fandom ruins you and im, so sorry.
