Element of Explosion (12k+)

Ghost teams up with Soap, and quickly learns that Soap isn't what he says.

A "Monster AU" set during MWII but deviates somewhat from canon. (Not a re-telling. I've kept the quotes to a minimum.)

T: "You almost died!"
J: "I'm fine Timmers, promise."
T: "You're not allowed to die! I'm sick and tired of the people I love dying!"
J: "Oh..."
T: [To embarrassed by the impromptu confession to say anything. Too scared about the dying thing to run away.]

Tim sitting in Jason's lap, cradling Jason's face in his hands, and leaning his forehead agaist Jason's. Tim's expression is very upset, eyes clenched shut, but there's a blush on his cheeks too. Jason has one hand on Tim's thigh, and looks pleased, and a bit tired.

the dolled up cat with "he/him" in the bio 🐈‍⬛️💋💅❣️✨️

1/2

#art #transartist #cats

Text reads I just want to exist as a "femboi." But apparently that's not allowed when you're trans? Cis men beauty influencers or drag queens get praised for their femininity but when -I- do it suddenly it's "I thought you were trying to be a man??" :/ Two cats with a male speech bubble symbol are shown. They have X shaped markings over their eyes with the colors of the trans flag. Syringes with hearts on top are next to them in the same colors. They are wearing red and black dresses.

Text reads My "manhood" is my own and what I make of it. Image of cat wearing a pink dress, pink bow, long nails, long eyelashes, piercings and thick lips is showing off his look and has sparkles around him. His dress says he/him in the center. Two yellow talking circles with X's over their eyes are saying Looks like a girl! and Erm wut!?

Text reads it was never the plan to transition to toxic masculinity. A cat in the center has a mask with the words toxic masculinity. He is surrounded by snarling open mouths with sharp teeth and chains.

Text reads My skirts/dresses, my nails, my accessories....make me feel so masculine! Images of cats with a black dress, lots of piercings, long red nails, and a red bow are shown. Sparkles and hearts surround them.

Another stupid height difference joke! (I will never stop)

#ghostsoap

141 are on a last minute commercial flight and Ghost is crammed into his seat feeling very sorry for himself.
🧼: "No wonder they usually stick you in the cargo transports, Lt."
🧼: "Not so high and mighty now eh, big guy?"

Soap sits down
💀: "Go fuck yourself, Johnny"
🧼: "Not my job, if I recall"
🧼: "Told you to switch with Gaz for the aisle seat, coulda stretched out those legs"
💀: "And become a tripping hazard for the flight attendants? Un-fucking-likely"

Gaz sits down next to them
Over the intercom: "[...] and please ensure all your small belongings are secure"
💀 pulls 🧼 close
🧼: "?"
💀: "Do you feel secure?"
🧼: "..."

💀chuckling
🧼: "OI!!"
🧼: "CALL ME SHORT ONE MORE TIME YE OVERGROWN-"
Gaz, interrupting (knowing damn well he encouraged them to get together): "Stop acting like an old married couple"
💀 🧼: "Shut up, Gaz."

a fake screenshot like illustration of the Warden Ulric Cousland meeting Zevran Arainai for the first time. Yeah, it's the scene after Zevran ambushed him, attacked him and Ulric's not exactly. Happy. About that. He's a bit cranky even.

Zevran's pushed down into the mud, Ulric's sort of kneeling on top of his chest, resting his weight on the other leg and his greatsword which is stabbed (for the lack of better word on my brain rn) into the ground right next to Zev's head. Cutting some strands of his hair.

The rest of the party - Morrigan, Leliana and Alistair (who's ready to strike) are watching the scene.

Ulric's usually pretty friendly and fun to be around, but he doesn't like being attacked u_u also he's been mourning his unscarred face for the past week or so

Why am I so against generative AI in games?

Because I simply do not want my initial reaction to art to be one of suspicion and scrutiny, AI slop is fundamentally damaging my relationship to art and artistry, and I am deeply resentful that it is forcing me to be guarded when I should be wowed.

I was meaning for awhile to repost my current #omegaverse anatomy headcanons; I used to get so much shit just for drawing omegas with no balls, now I draw them like this lol. But because omegaverse went mainstream I don't get as much shit about it at all anymore? It's interesting 🤔
