Art Fight Attack number 3! Tsuyu "Tsu" OC by @teffiyx !

I experimented with my art style here so thats why it looks different than usual :> I tried out lineart, greyscale, form, and textures! The first part of my timelapse's file format isn't supported so Im trying to fix that-

[vampiresdownpour]

Characters: Lucien Oleander , Melody Zhu ( @teffiyx ) Prompt: First Kiss Additional context: ma and @aspiringtrashpanda have been talking a lot about writing random prompts together! Panda wrote these amazing fics today and this is what I came up with! I'm nervous about posting since I haven't done writing in years, but I did like how this came out ♡ gif is also by aaden!!

“Oh! And this, and that… Yeah…! Cici? Are you listening?” Melody lightly tapped Lucien’s arm, slight worry on her face. Lucien blinked, softly looking back at Melody.

“Hm? O-Of course, Countess…” Lucien avoided any eye contact with Melody, feeling his face heat up. He looked down at his now empty plate of food, deciding it was the most interesting thing in his field of vision.

“U-Um, Countess…” Lucien began speaking, mentally hitting himself with a hammer. He could tell how nervous he was as he spoke.

“Shall we go watch the stars after this? There is a hill behind my apartment that is the perfect spot for stargazing.” He looked back up at Melody, smiling softly, face dusted pink. Melody’s eyes seemed to light up as she gave her usual bright smile, nodding.

Once Lucien was done paying for their meal, he gently held Melody’s hand as they began walking out and back to a nearby train station. He held onto her hand tightly, glad that his gloves concealed how sweaty his palms were. They walked in comfortable silence, Lucien rubbing Melody’s hand with his thumb. The two eventually made it to the train station, hopping on the next train that led back to Lucien’s apartment.

“I’m glad to be able to share my love of stars with you, Countess.” Lucien spoke coolly as he continued to hold her hand tightly. “As you know, I’m not from here, and despite living here for the past 2 years I still get homesick…” Lucien’s tone was softer now, not the usual loud and eccentric tone he liked to put on.

“…Being able to look up at the stars and the moon makes me feel better, you know. It’s the same stars and moon I would see back home. The world is big, but being able to find traces of home makes me feel less alone.”

It was a rare moment of softness from Lucien to be able to lower his guard down a bit.

“I understand…” Melody leaned her head onto Lucien’s. “I still need to go back home sometimes to take care of family matters… Whenever I look at the sky, I know it’s the same sky you see…” She smiled, her face equally dusted pink.

The train finally arrived at their stop, Lucien gently grabbing Melody and pulling her close to him as they walked in the direction of his apartment. The night was still young, streets still well lit with the warm lighting of nearby street lights. The streets weren’t entirely empty, but not completely filled with people either.

The two walked together in close proximity, Melody swinging their joined hands together as they continued on near Lucien’s apartment complex. He looked down at her, smiling at how joyous she looked.

“It’s taken this long to finally take me to your apartment, why is that?” She teased him, giggling. It only made Lucien blush more.

“W-Well, Countess, I had to make sure that you weren’t an undercover vampire hunter who was hired to slay me.” Lucien awkwardly replied.

“As you know, I am VERY wanted in the vampire world. Many people want a piece of The Prince Of Darkness, you know.”

“Mhm, is that why Bee said he had never heard of you when you brought this up?”

“…We’re almost there, Countess. Can you see that big hill?” Lucien pointed to a big hill in the distance, behind the apartment complex. “…It’s a place where I like to clear my head when things are too much… There is a fantastic view of the sky.” Lucien squeezed Melody’s hand a little tighter. Melody could only laugh at the fact that Lucien completely glazed over her comment.

The two made it to the apartment complex, Lucien leading Melody towards a somewhat hidden pathway that led directly to the top of the hill. The trek was made in comfortable silence, the two only communicating through looks and quiet laughs.

As they reached the top of the hill, Lucien suddenly froze. Melody looked at him, brows furrowing.

“Cici?”

“Where. Where is it. Where.” Lucien suddenly ran towards an isolated area where it looked like something was cleared out.

“I… what. Didn’t I… I…” Lucien mumbled to himself as he bent down on his knees, searching around the area. Melody tilted her head as she watched Lucien stick his head into a nearby bush.

“Cici?” Melody walked over, bending down to his level. Lucien cursed at himself under his breath.

“I swear to god, it was RIGHT HERE…” Lucien huffed in frustration as he raised his head, immediately being met with Melody’s confused jade eyes.

“M-Melody!” Lucien laughed nervously. “I-I, ah- um-” Lucien stumbled on his words, looking incredibly flustered. “I had a basket here for us, but… Ah, I think it’s gone…” He mumbled under his breath as the two of them stood up. Lucien began to pace around immediately.

“Did I leave it inside…? I must have, right… Or was I foolish enough to leave it out in the open for hours…” He mumbled before Melody grabbed his arm, lowering him down so that they were now sitting down. “It’s alright.” Melody gave her usual soft smile that always managed to make Lucien melt.

“Let’s just sit here and look at the sky!” She looked up and began to point at the stars.

“The sky is so clear tonight…! Look at how pretty the stars are!” Melly’s whimsy only made Lucien melt further. He got suddenly shy as Melody excitedly grabbed his arm.

Lucien cleared his throat as she continued to admire the stars.

“Countess, ah…” Lucien began, his cravat suddenly feeling tight around his neck. He cleared his throat.

“You, ah…. You know, you…” Lucien cleared his throat again. His mind was spinning as he tried to declare his feelings for Melody more intensely. “Melody, you, ah, You’re… You’re amazing…” Lucien seemed to finally have a good spot to start.

“I’ve never…. Ah…. met someone like you. You’re… You’re so…” Lucien’s face was red, the reddest it’s ever been before. Melody gently placed her hand on Lucien’s.

“Yes, Cici?” Melody smiled sweetly in the way that gave Lucien cuteness aggression towards her. He couldn’t do this.

“ILIKEYOUALOT-” He blurted out suddenly, making Melody giggle. Lucien had never let himself be so… so… pathetic!

“IplannedadessertpicnichereofrusbutIcan’tfindthebasket-” He spoke without taking a breath. “-Idon’tknowifsomeonetookitorifmaybeIjustforgot-ohgoddidIleaveitinthepartment?” He rambled on.

“ThisdatewassupposedtobePERFECTbuti’msuchafoolfornothavingitgothewayitshould-IwassupposedtofeedyouyourfavoritedessertandthenI’dbesosmoothand-” He finally took a breath… before continuing on.

“AndthenIwassupposedtokissyou!!FireworksweresupposedtogooffthiswasmeantotbetheperfectdateverbutImessedupandnowyouprobablydon’twanttocontinueand-” before he even realized it, Melody leaned forward, shutting him up with a soft kiss.

Hello 👋,

I hope this message finds you well. My name is Aziz, and I’m reaching out with a heartfelt plea to help my family find safety and reunite with our mother. 😞

The ongoing war in Gaza has torn my family apart. My mother and newborn sister are stranded in Egypt, while I, along with the rest of my sex family members, am trapped in the midst of the genocide in Gaza. We have not only been separated but have also lost our home and are enduring unimaginable hardships. 💔

Your support can make a difference. Whether by reading our story, donating, or sharing our campaign with others, you can help us reunite, find safety, and start anew. 🙏🕊

Thank you, from the depths of my heart, for your kindness, compassion, and solidarity during this difficult time. ❤🍉

let's talk about mouthwashing!

spoilers for the game. duh.

trigger warning for abuse, SA, death.

second out of three posts baby! this MAY be a hot take but i am speaking my TRUTH !!!! these posts are just purely fun for me to write, its not meant to spark anything bad. i hope everyone is civil about this no matter what opinions you hold about this. first post

before i start a few disclaimers: i am rather new to mouthwashing so i do not know EVERYTHING. im just talking about my own interpretation, if there's any missing details pls inform me!

If Anya told Swansea about her pregnancy he would've took action on Jimmy!

i don't think this would happen. not because Swansea is awful or he was disregarding Anya. but this whole situation is not black and white. his character is just as complex as everyone else in the Tulpar.

Swansea's mercy-killing on Daisuke

so many people say that Swansea will get Jimmy for what he did to Anya instantly if Anya told him first instead of Curly but that is simply not true. because we already saw what he would do. how he handled it in the game when she told him post-crash would how he act if she told him first before the crash. the nasty look, the judgement. he didn't straight up confront him but ever since he knew, he was quite standoff-ish with Jimmy.

why is that?

from what i know, people understand Swansea's decision to end Daisuke's life. but the reason why i'm bringing this up is because people can understand this situation with Daisuke yet they couldn't understand Anya's. they constantly say things that aren't true but accepted how Daisuke's went.

and why then? why is it that it is in that scene, when Jimmy go to grab a gun, is when Swansea decided to take Jimmy's life?

why can you understand Swansea's decision made for Daisuke but not Anya? why did he choose at the very end, after Daisuke is gone, to reveal he knows what Jimmy did to Anya?

you can argue all you want, saying i don't know you(that is true, i don't), that what i am assuming you would do is wrong, then yes. you can argue that. because at the end of the day, i am just some random person, somewhere in the planet, writing about an indie horror game on the internet. but you know yourself best, so ask yourself this.

you have to realise, not everything is black and white. you say that you'd be the first to confront Jimmy if you were in this situation where Anya tells YOU about what happened. almost anyone would. but i will believe without a doubt, that if given this same situation, you will do the same as Swansea did. why? because we're human. if something like this happened in real life, where you're given this option to choose, on what to do, you'd probably panic, you'd probably never think that would happen.

would you truly go out of your way to confront a man you recently know to be dangerous, while in a place where you don't have a way to escape or protect the vulnerable people within this man's reach?

let's talk about mouthwashing!

spoilers for the game. duh.

trigger warning for abuse, SA, death.

i feel like we all know how complex the story telling for the game is yet theres still people that don't seem to get it entirely. i decided to ramble about that. im sure others have done it before me but let me ramble about my hyperfixation god damn it.

this is the first out of 3 posts so strap in. the 3rd one is a LONG one. second post | third post

before i start a few disclaimers: i am rather new to mouthwashing so i do not know EVERYTHING. im just talking about my own interpretation, if there's any missing details pls inform me!

Anya is a shy and timid character!

this of course is not true but i've noticed a few people that still cling onto this interpretation of her. even though its not a vocal group that has this idea, i'd like to talk more about this.

Jimmy is an unreliable narrator, we were given that knowledge with a scene where we see multiple working cryo pods post-crash, despite us knowing there is only one functioning cryo pod.

so of course, knowing that information, most people would start to realise everything we went through as Jimmy post-crash, it was all biased, we were in the eyes of an abuser, and we trusted the words he used to describe Anya as part of her character. that's also part of the horror for this game in my opinion. the horror that i agreed the views of an abuser horrifies me.

"He - It just hurts him so much. I can't stand the noise."

"...You did make it through nursing school, right?"

"Pony Express sure does know how to cut corners, if nothing else."

-

"I was hoping you could help me with Captain-"

"Curly."

"Right, sorry ...w-with Curly's medication?"

"People have to be worth their titles."

"Don't you think, nurse Anya?"

"...Y-yeah. Forget I asked."

these two different conversations happened in the same scene at the start of the game. after going through the game we can see now how Jimmy talks to Anya is downright insulting. maybe some people have picked up on it during their first playthrough that the way he talks to her is not normal, but we didn't think much of it. but now, now things are different.

"Anya never got into medical school because she's... well, let's be real."

"And how many employment years Swansea got left in him?"

"Daisuke will be fine, mommy and daddy have him covered. So there's that at least."

"But you."

"Headed for bigger and better, right?"

this string of dialogue came 6 days before the crash, when everyone is gathered for Curly's surprise party and Curly decided to drop the news that Pony Express is letting them all go. (this dialogue will be brought up again for something else.)

he was almost insulting everyone sitting at the table, yet in this string of dialogue, he completely disregards Anya. summing his point about her as "well, let's be real.". it shows how much he views her, which was practically nothing. but first-time playing, you didn't think much of it. because he also insulted everyone else.

to summarise this whole thing, Anya as a character is not shy or timid, it is simply how Jimmy views her. but even so, we probably will never know how Anya is truly like. because even when she mentions this won't be her worst moment, she is only remembered as a poor crew member that god abused and assaulted by another member, which is, her worst moment alive.

more Nine doodles !!! i really like them a lot please forgive me

also a coloured sketch of them + uncoloured!

[teffiyx]

meet Nine! (or 9 or Experiment 1295)

additional info (because i forgot to add):

they go by they/them pronouns!

they lack a pendant because the people behind their design didn't really thought much for them since they're made to be non-official.

to (also) further emphasize they're not an official critter, they're purposely made to be smaller than the BBI smiling critters.

they have a familial relationship with Dogday specifically (self projecting 👉👈)

id be happy to share more if people are interested,,,,
