realistic conversation between me and my brother

Hawks: “I can’t sleep.”

Dabi: “Why?”

Hawks: “Just a lot on my mind.”

Dabi: “…”

Dabi, throwing a blanket over Hawks’ head.

Hawks: “What are you doing?”

Dabi: “I don’t know. Don’t bird owners cover their cages so they’ll sleep?”

Hawks: “… And you just assume that’s going to work on me? You know not everything about me is bird related?”

Dabi: “Keep whining like that and you’ll never fall asleep. You know, I can think of other ways to tire you out—”

Hawks: “…”

Dabi: “… Hawks?”

Hawks, snoring.

THE BUNNY IS HERE GUYS I LOVE HER SM

I got more creative and added printed out 'pixels' and stamps and it made it look even better.

The 5 and 6 cat girls are because she's the 56th girl added. The stamp of Sanrio's sugar bunnies is because she's a rabbit. The skunk is from Littlest Pet Shop, and is named Pepper, like her. I wanted to add Arven, from Pokémon Scarlet/Violet, (since his Japanese name is Pepper), but I didn't have room.

I absolutely love her outfit, though I wish I could've added more dimension to her skirt. I was stumped on what to draw for her outfit, so I flipped open an old book of mine, (Shopkins Shoppies, Ultimate Handbook, by Jenne Simon, from the Scholastic book fair), and it got me inspired. I opened up to Polli Polish, by the way.

I wish I had Peoper in game, because she's such a cool character. Alas, she's doomed to an event.

On the page, I was able to fit all her ships. I tried to figure out realistically who'd she be with, and I wasn't able to come up with much. Her and Esper would get along swell, however. Pepper practicing show magic and Esper practicing real magic. I think it's growing on me.

This has gotten very long, so I'll cut it here, but please use the ask button or DM me, I'll gladly listen to requests or answer questions!!

So my problem with most ‘get to know your character’ questioneers is that they’re full of questions that just aren’t that important (what color eyes do they have) too hard to answer right away (what is their greatest fear) or are just impossible to answer (what is their favorite movie.)  Like no one has one single favorite movie. And even if they do the answer changes.

If I’m doing this exercise, I want 7-10 questions to get the character feeling real in my head. So I thought I’d share the ones that get me (and my students) good results: 

What is the character’s go-to drink order? (this one gets into how do they like to be publicly perceived, because there is always some level of theatricality to ordering drinks at a bar/resturant)

What is their grooming routine? (how do they treat themselves in private)

What was their most expensive purchase/where does their disposable income go? (Gets you thinking about socio-economic class, values, and how they spend their leisure time)

Do they have any scars or tattoos? (good way to get into literal backstory) 

What was the last time they cried, and under what circumstances? (Good way to get some *emotional* backstory in.) 

Are they an oldest, middle, youngest or only child? (This one might be a me thing, because I LOVE writing/reading about family dynamics, but knowing what kinds of things were ‘normal’ for them growing up is important.)

Describe the shoes they’re wearing. (This is a big catch all, gets into money, taste, practicality, level of wear, level of repair, literally what kind of shoes they require to live their life.)

Describe the place where they sleep. (ie what does their safe space look like. How much (or how little) care / decoration / personal touch goes into it.)

What is their favorite holiday? (How do they relate to their culture/outside world. Also fun is least favorite holiday.) 

What objects do they always carry around with them? (What do they need for their normal, day-to-day routine? What does ‘normal’ even look like for them.) 

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine "Past Tense, Pt. 1"

I did it again. I drew stuff. Today it was candy, on my arm. Tomorrow the WORLD

This is amazing.

I would have a made a demon by accident.

a teacher in australia asked her students to design a monster and then made a stuffed animal for all 22 designs. this is the sixth year in a row she's done this. this is the article about it, where you can read more as well as see more pictures from the project.
