Did the "Making Me Suffer" meme with my idiots

Rosemary is such a cute little potato, I love her.

Bonus panel, because Armand needed a baby debut too.

Alastor no, that is not how you hold a baby

(Also, I am...very proud of how Al's face turned out here in the second panel. Situation aside, it feels like an expression he'd make.) Also also, my persistent hatred for his canon suit continues. I'm never drawing that thing again.

On Saturday I said to my partner, as I have said for months, "A ten thousand dollar a year raise would solve so many of my problems."

As of this morning I was reluctantly looking for jobs because I love my job and don't want to leave it, but see: $10k raise problem solver.

As of noon today this was no longer an issue, because my boss called me with the news that I was getting a $10K merit raise.

I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. This is roughly $200 extra per paycheck. Enough to pay off debt faster, rebuild my savings, and spend a weekend a month in Milwaukee getting obscenely laid. The sex I'm going to have on $200 extra per paycheck. You can't even.

May all of you get the $10K raise your soul has yearned for. And whatever level of sex you can be satisfied with for $200.

A commission from the lovely @drazhaq who was absolutely fantastic to work with and did an amazing job!

I asked for my girl Bree if she'd been in season 2, actually checking in on this red deer idiot rather than letting him limp off with a chewed up arm and a bruised ego.

Tall (Deer) boyfriend x chubby girlfriend

They're so stupid.

I love them.

Bree is 1000% going to crack up laughing if she holds that demure ass pose a minute longer.

They were arguing about cornbread recipes before this.

Also I refuse to draw this man in his canon suit anymore. It clashes too much with his hair and he looks better in a darker pallete.

Just That Deer Guy

getting ready in the morning. Don't know why, just had an itch to draw Alastor's morning routine. He wears special hoof socks because I said so

Spot the Difference: OC Edition!

I'm not even shy about it, I just love the Christmas group pic and wanted to throw my idiot in there.

Also-Sweater Detail! Little gators.

Yes Angel bought her that.

Yes she loves how hideous it is.

Also Bree tends to make her own gifts and decorations and she loves pomander balls because they smell nice for so long. Baxter is surprised someone who died in the 90s keeps such an old tradition.

Roses are red, that much is true, but violets are purple, not fucking blue.

[feels-for-the-fictional]

I have been waiting for this post all my life.

[marzipanandminutiae]

They are indeed purple, But one thing you’ve missed: The concept of “purple” Didn’t always exist.

Some cultures lack names For a color, you see. Hence good old Homer And his “wine-dark sea.”

A usage so quaint, A phrasing so old, For verses of romance Is sheer fucking gold.

So roses are red. Violets once were called blue. I’m hugely pedantic But what else is new?

[ineptshieldmaid]

My friend you’re not wrong About Homer’s wine-ey sea! Colours are a matter Of cultural contingency;

Words are in flux And meanings they drift But the word purple You’ve given short shrift.

The concept of purple, My friends, is old And refers to a pigment once precious as gold.

By crushing up molluscs From the wine-dark sea You make a dye: Imperial decree

Meant that in Rome, to wear purpura was a privilege reserved

For only the emperor!

The word ‘purple’, for clothes so fancy, Entered English By the ninth century

.

Why then are voilets Not purple in song? The dye from this mollusc, known for so long

Is almost magenta; More red than blue. The concept of purple is old, and yet new.

The dye is red, So this might be true: Roses are purple And violets are blue

.

[squeeful]

While this song makes me merry, Tyrian purple dyes many a hue From magenta to berry And a true purple too.

But fun as it is to watch this poetic race The answer is staring you right in the face: Roses are red and violets are blue Because nothing fucking rhymes with purple.

Family portrait

I figure there's no escaping this now, so I might as well lean in and introduce the eventual RadioLaw fan kids.

Meet the twins, Rosemary and Armand.

Rosemary's more lavender coloring came in as she aged, initially she was almost Alastor's little clone. Her powers are music based, and of the twins, she's the only one that inherited any of Bree's aquatic traits. She's a siren, practically speaking.

She inherited her green eyes from Alastor's mother, and is named after her.

She's the older twin, and the meaner one, carrying the quiet ruthlessness and shrewd mind from both parents. She is absolutely a daddy's girl and that's contributed both to her style and her attitude.

Armand calls her little big.

She calls him big little.

If they're using each other's real names? RUN.

Armand's wings seem random, but he inherited them from Bree: her ears are actually shape-shifted bat's wings, a trait she finds embarrassing but is proud to see translated to something useful in her son. Outside of flight, he inherited Alastor's shadow powers, but uses them as a last resort. His size and strength tend to stop most issues before they start.

He's no slouch intellectually, but he's quiet and shy, awkward about his size in a hotel full of noodle people and string beans his mother keeps trying to feed and self conscious about how he stands out against the rest of his family. He inherited his frame and black hair from Bree's grandad William.

They grow up at the hotel, losing family because redemption keeps separating them, but because of looser reins on communication now, they still get to see their loved ones on occasion.

Alastor and Bree are careful with them. No one quite knows what will happen if they get hurt badly--human souls born in Hell are uncharted territory.

[thecrazyashley-blog]

Alastor got conned into doing a Chippendale routine.

Why?

Don't worry about it.

Based off this ornament someone found on twitter

[thecrazyashley-blog]

Made a meme with my idiot.

Been in the back of my mind for a hot minute, but with Season 2 out now, I had the motivation to draw again. Hell having a legal system (including taxes) is personally hilarious to me, so I'm going to keep up with my little OC.

Yes, I gave Alastor a different suit. I genuinely despise his regular suit. It's too bright and clashes with his hair. Let this man wear jewel tones.

Original context

[thecrazyashley-blog]

I saw that deer photo floating around, figured I'd use it for a soft intro for actual art of my OC vs a picrew mock up.

Bree handles legal and finance at the hotel, hence the uniform, but you'll pry her biker jacket from her cold, double dead hands. She's very much the "work hard, party harder" type, but she keeps her work and personal life pretty separate from her more flashy public biker persona, who's face no one has ever seen.

She's the Mom Friend to Angel and Cherri, though they're welcome bad influences on her. She's also the "youngest" of the residents, having died in the early 90s.

She doesn't put up with Alastor's shit, and since they sometimes have to work together to deal with the boring background work of keeping the hotel afloat, it drives him to distraction. None of the usual tactics work, mostly because one of the things Bree lost when she died was any sense of self-preservation, and "What's the worst they could do, kill me?" as her approach to difficult demons is a bit of a running gag with her.

Eventually this translates into bonding through mutual gremlinry when it's slow at the hotel.

it is, in fact, motion blur depicting alastor's zoomies and vagatha is so done with him
