Okay O U C H

It's canonically stated that Lockwood doesn't like sugar in his tea. (I believe it was in the Creeping Shadow)

So I now have a firm belief that Lucy puts sugar in Lockwood’s tea whenever she's pissed at him. He might already know she's upset, so sometimes the sweet taste is not a surprise to him. But other times, when he's unaware of what she's feeling, he sips his tea and gets a surprise -oh f*ck I did something what did I do???- moment.

The amount of sugar also depends on the severity of what he did. Sometimes he doesn't even taste it, there's so little. Other times his tea is the consistency of mud.

One time in particular Lucy offered him his cup just as she always did. He took it with thanks and went to take a drink when he looked down.

There was no tea.

She handed him a cup of sugar.

Lockwood had never been more afraid in his life.

Second addition to my Classical Shellements au! Our boi Raph, the fire spirit!! (I spent a while making sure the design wasn't too similar to the celestial au. No idea stealing here!)

I think fire fits Raph really well (regardless of the color scheme XD) because it can be gentle and comforting just as much as it can be powerful and destructive, like him

Autism be damned

Part 14!

I think that's the end of the episode:)

This part was originally much shorter. But then I saw this post and...ahh...it changed my brain chemistry forever~

Also! Today is a funny date. Because exactly seven months ago, I drew a silly little comic about Leo in a mug. And posted it on Tumblr, thinking it was a little joke I'd forget about the next day~

Since people liked it i made a toy that works on the computer: https://nick-nonya.itch.io/trampoline-toy Have fun!

So you might be saying: Lion why a guide on drawing black people? Well young blood it’s because a lot of people cant…seem…to draw…black people..Amazing I know. 

Racist (caricatures) portrayals of black people have been around forever, and to this day people can’t seem to draw black people like they are human. If your artwork resembles any of the above even remotely your artwork is racist and offensive. If you try to excuse that as a stylistic choice you’re not only a terrible artist, but racist too!!! Congrats.

Whitewashing is also a problem. A lot of people refuse to draw black features on canonly black characters. While this example isn’t colored, lightening the skin-tone of a character is also considered whitewashing. So lets start with features!

Now all black people have different noses thats a no-brainer, but black noses tend to have flatter bridges, and wider nostrils. Please stay from triangular anime noses and small button noses. Your drawings should not depict black people with abnormally large noses. (Especially if you do not draw other characters this way)

If you feel like the way you draw lips on black characters is offensive or resembles a caricature,it probably does and you should change it. ABSOLUTELY AVOID PLACING LIPS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE FACE. 

Hair is so diverse! Please get used to drawing braids, locs,kinks and coils! If you can learn to draw ringlets and long waves you can learn how to draw black hairstyles.

Add clips! Learn how to draw baby-hairs and never be afraid to add color Pinterest and Google are free my dudes! Also try using square brushes for blocking in coils.

OK THAT’S ALL YOU GUYS

Okay, I want to predict the outcome for Spy x Family chapter 72 rn before it comes out, and I'm writing it here so that, if it happens, I can come back to this and pat myself on the back for being right.

So if anyone's interested, this is what I think will (or at least, should) happen:

The bus comes to a stop with all the police officers surrounding it. Cursing for being caught, the guy tells the kids to all stay put if they want to live, then grabs Anya and Damian and brings them out of the bus.

He tells the officers that he has bombs strapped to their necks (both the son of the wealthy and high profile Desmond family and the girl who just happened to piss him off) and that he won't hesitate to set them off.

The officers lay down their weapons, seeing as they have no other choice. Anya, being the little gremlin she is, yells out that the bombs are fake. Aka, pick up the guns again and save them.

Damian and the guy are equally appalled that Anya would be stupid enough to say that and also how does she even know that??

As the police question whether or not that's true, the man grabs Anya and puts a gun to her head, saying something like "I don't know how you learned the bomb was fake, but this gun is very real." Or something to that extent.

Damian (bless his soul) probably tries to help her, but is ultimately smacked away like the loaf of bread he is.

The police, now again concerned with the turn of events, put their guns down for the second time.

The man smirks and begins to list off what he wants the cops to do if they want the kids to live when something smacks him in the head. (Idk what it would be. A rock, a shoe? Just something.)

He looks up to see a hooded figure standing on top of the bus. "Step away from the girl." He says as he points a very large gun at the man.

"Who the hell are you?" The man responds.

"Someone who doesn't like repeating orders a second time." The gun is cocked. "Now step away from her."

Anya (bless her soul as well) thinks that she should do something to help. After all, that's what Bondman would do. So, like the gremlin she is, she comes up with the most gremlin-like plan she can and bites him. Hard. Just fully chomps down on the man's fingers.

Cursing, he let's go of her in surprise. Damain quickly grabs her hand and yanks her away as the hooded figure jumps on top of him and knocks the gun out of his hand.

The police are understandably confused, but rush to stop the bus driver who attempts to make a run for it when his ally is taken down.

Now that they're apprehended, Anya tries to figure out who the hooded figure is. Was it Papa?

She reads his mind and hears this:

"I may hate Loi-Loi will all my guts and he may never be a deserving husband to someone as great as Yor, but I know she would be devastated if anything happened to her chihuahua girl."

Anya smiles, realizing that the man who came to her rescue was her uncle Yuri. She knows that he is technically her papa's enemy (and possibly her mama's too, even if he doesn't know) but he's still a good guy.

Cue Yuri noticing the look and saying something like,

"What the hell are you smiling for??"

But Anya just says something like

"Thank you mystery man! You saved Syon-boy and I from being dead."

He stiffens a little, surprised at the praise and his relief about her safety.

"You're welcome." He says.

Then we cut to the next scene.

Loid is standing in his doorway, fear and absolute shock in his expression.

"She... What?"

The officers then explain to him (for the second time) what events transpired that day.

He looks down as Yor (in tears) crushes Anya (literally crushes) in a hug, saying how she was so sorry she had to go through that and was so relieved that she was okay.

Loid is furious. Furious at the men who threatened his daughter, but more importantly, furious at the agency for not telling him what was going on. He knew they knew about it.

Unable to even look at Anya, he pushes past the cops and sprints his way all the way down to the agency. He isn't careful to be unseen. He isn't paying attention to any of his lessons and basic techniques of being a spy. His daughter almost died today. That's the only thing that matters to him right now.

He kicks down the door, to which the woman starts her whole "Good day, or rather, good evening" spiel that Loid promptly interrupts.

"You knew." He accuses, "You knew and you didn't tell me."

The woman tells him her reasoning. (He was too far away, there was no point in needlessly worrying him when he couldn't do anything, etc.)

He erupts, yelling at them that he didn't care if he was in the middle of another mission, they should've told him! She's his daughter! He should know if she's ever in danger!

"She's not really your daughter," comes the reply.

A moment of silence.

Silence as he realizes the statement is true and wrong at the same time. Not his biological daughter, sure, but she was still his. She was important.

"What about Operation Strix?" He tries to rationalize (for the sake of his protectiveness toward Anya and to prove that the agency should care about her too)

The agency tells him they have other means of getting close to the Desmonds, whether through Yor's new friendship or through another "backup" plan they had in motion. They imply that Anya is expendable. They say that the mission is more important. They say if it came to saving Anya or keeping the mission intact, they wouldn't hesitate to let her die. For the greater good, of course.

After a moment of Lord's silence, she even goes so far as to say Anya's death could've possibly been proven useful, as the mourning could've gotten Yor closer to Melinda-

A crash.

The woman looks up to see Loid leaving the room, the table by which he'd been standing now snapped in half.

Loid walks back home, contemplating her words. Was Anya really expendable in regards to the mission? Trying to keep his thoughts rational, he plays out how her death would affect it. He sees there are some pros (strictly regarding the goals of the mission) but he shuts those thoughts down immediately.

Why had he been so scared today? If she was truly expendable, why had his heart dropped out of his chest when he'd heard she'd come so close to death?

It didn't make sense, not really.

But when he entered the apartment and saw Yor and Anya still on the floor, still hugging, he realized it did.

Because Anya may be considered expendable for the mission. A pawn in a much larger game of chess.

He falls to the floor and wraps both Yor and Anya in a tight hug, saying nothing.

But she was not expendable to him.

Bonus scene at the end:

Yuri's superior officer knocks at his door. Yuri lets him in.

"Thought you'd like to know, that girl, Anna was it? She's alright. The police handled it."

Yuri, already well aware that Anya is fine and that the police most certainly did not handle it, just nods.

"Thank you for telling me sir."

He just nods.

"However, it seems we have a new problem. You see, witnesses reported seeing a mysterious masked figure helping the police catch the guy. I want you to ID him so we can bring him in for questioning and see if he's an enemy."

The officer is so distracted by his determination to find out about this masked menace, he doesn't notice Yuri is standing very nervously behind him. Sweating bullets.
