don't take this site too seriously guys, it's its whole charm

I decided to sign up my girl Pearl to artfight (even though it's still 3 months away) and wanted to draw some extra reference for some rare details. (also the last time I drew her seal form it was on the very first drawing of her, back when I didn't know how to draw her as chubby as i wanted her to be) as a selkie, Pearls coat is very important to her, so she only takes it off when she has to clean or fix it, and only people she would trust with her life ever get to see her like that

and if she ever lets you borrow her pearl it means she would also die for you

just wanted to share the National Down Syndrome Society’s message for this year’s World Down Syndrome Day (21st March) 💛💙

So the Slay the Princess community wanted to hear about Paranoid and Nightmare. Ask, and you shall receive.

They're a very toxic relationship.

So I'm looking at a lot of these Princess and Voice pairings, and I'm noticing that there's often a pretty distinct presence of affection from the Voice. Even the Opportunist says the Witch's a 'woman after his own heart', the Cheated says the Razor would be 'pretty cute', and Skeptic calls Cage (formerly the Prisoner) the 'missus'. The former two are actively hostile towards the Princess, while the latter's route has been particularly romance-free thus far.

With Paranoid and Nightmare? Can't say I see it that much on Para's end. The closest it gets is him panicking when Nightmare touches his face.

But Nightmare...well, even if she's not exactly 'affectionate' herself, she certainly does get a little touchy-feely and delight in your fear. And he is your fear.

They have a very distinct imbalance of power here, but where Broken acknowledges it and insists on surrender, Paranoid acknowledges it too—yet he resists. He's terrified but he's spiteful. It's not just panic we have over here—it's snark, anger, hatred.

Maybe she loves him, or maybe she doesn't, but one thing's certain: she wants him. She wants what he can give her: feeling, companionship, a cure against this endless loneliness that has defined too much of her life. (Side note: I feel like Cold and Nightmare would get along. They have all of those desires in common, plus they're both freaky anyway, but I digress.)

But he doesn't want to give it to her, and he most certainly doesn't want her. He hates what she wishes to see from him. Terror is the only thing she knows, but so is it for him. He was borne of it, driven to it, defined by it. It is thanks to this terror that he chooses to resist, to protect himself.

But the resistance of will can only stand for so long.

She pushes against him and he pulls away until he can't any longer. She desires and he despises; she takes and he snatches away until nothing's left but to give. But if he could choose, then he'd run from her forever. Were it possible—but it's not.

(Okay, it is in Wraith, sort of. But it's certainly not in MOC.)

In a Modern AU setting I have going on, Nightmare keeps trying to text Paranoid on several different accounts even after he's blocked her a million times. She's got separation anxiety, and he's got, well, literally any other kind of anxiety.

She threatens and teases and plays with him, but what she really wants is connection. And that's exactly what he believes he can't give her, because it's not safe, because she's always been a threat.

my hand slipped

New pfp, honestly I kinda preferes the old one but that might just be me lol

lol i had this pfp for like 2 years now on pretty much everywhere else I didn't think anyone would notice me updating here I'm working on a new one anyway but im happy you liked my old pfp <3

Turns out the horsemen of the Apocalypse now prefer to go by Shareholder Profit, Private Equity, Corporate Personhood, and Workforce Optimization.

Shareholder Profit: War (the casus belli for attacks on workers' rights)

Private Equity: Pestilence (they are parasites that voraciously strip the value out of a healthy business until it withers and dies)

Workforce Optimization: Famine (cutting hours and employees until the business is starved of staff, barely functioning)

Corporate Personhood: Death (a hollow, shambling mockery of a human with rights and needs)

Yeah I can work with that.

small break from stp to show off this oc of mine

She's been a major NPC in the SCP themed DnD game I've been DMing for years but her last reference sheet is allmost older than the game itself so i finally updated it so i can sign her up for artfight this year :3

Olivia is a scientist/ junior researcher at site-38 (the games home base), while semi successfully hiding the fact that she herself is an anomalous creature, a chimera that grew up mimiking humans. She works at the foundation despite her rational fear of getting caught, because she's just too curious for her own good. She's chipper and optimistic and does what she can to improve the lives and moods of SCPs and staff on site. Should she feel her life in danger she involuntarily shifts into the drake-like shape on the right like a werewolf.
