"Darkness will blind you right before the Dawn"

Me: I prefer fluff over porn

tumblr: no more female presenting nipples

Me: you know what have lesbian porn

(and also gay porn because I can’t betray my OTP)

Hit the cut for links to the uncropped sketches and tumblr roasting :))))))))))

Sormik week day 7 – sunshine! That went over fast. Wow. I’m sad. I’ll have to come up with a new excuse to create the content I wanna see.

Sunshine is boring, unless it involves cuddles in the ocean where they gently bump their noses and Meebo’s shiney fishtail glistens in the sun. Sorey agrees.

Please accept a humble offering of silly rough bonus chibis too because I love this AU. Expect Mikleo to freak out and complain and try to escape three seconds later because everything else would be out of character tho

So I’ve finally sat down and moved around design ideas for our actual leads until I was left with something I can live with. There’s too many questions that I can’t quite decide on; like, how ridiculous am I gonna get with these outfits because goddamn, there were several ridiculous things in fashion in 18th and 19th century. I don’t necessarily want to force Alisha into a rococo dress because nobody’s able to move in these things, and neither do I want to give anybody a stinking, lice infected wig, but Rose and Sorey are perfectly used to running around in heels, so at least footwear is not gonna be much of a problem. I’ve also answered the question “how many elements of their original game designs am I gonna retain?” for myself. The answer is “little, and mostly colour schemes”. I’ve also decided not to stick to a specific time period, so I’d have more freedom to give everyone different styles and cuts. Furthermore, anything that doesn’t hug Mikleo’s miraculous wasp waist is a waste on him. I keep forgetting how ridiculously time-consuming costume design is (these took almost two entire days, and that’s the low-effort variety – I don’t even want to think about what the details look like). Like, I’ve done it a billion times in my life, and I should know by now that even just one single design takes you hours if you’re really fast, but I keep doing it because how can someone not love historical fashion

Anyway, these outfits are courtesy of 1) Rose generously gifting Sorey some clothes because even a cut-throat pirate doesn’t have quite the heart to let him run around in rags after almost drowning in a shipwreck, y’know. He can pay her once he’s got access to his dad’s fortune’s again. Plus accumulated interest and taxes. 2) Alisha hosting a ball and making sure that everybody attending meets her standards. Including recent victims of shipwrecks and their fish boyfriends. Means, no, Mik, you can’t just run around in your boyfriend’s shirt and nothing else. You’re gonna get your own outfit courtesy of Alisha’s tailors. Too bad he can’t even snark at anybody at that time because of that stupid I-exchanged-my-voice-spell, but hey, his death glares and bitchy resting face reach new levels in Ladylake. Also means, nope, Sorey, you’re no longer allowed to run around in baggy clothes and hide from your responsibilities in the nearest library. Alisha is working on getting Rose in a fancy dress next, but that’s more difficult than it looks like.

Anyway, I hope y’all are gonna get some good old Pirates of the Caribbean vibes out of this. Last movies were all shitty except the fact that there were actually mermaids, but I will never not love the goddamn soundtracks. I might need an actual tag for my little mermaid AU so it can be distinguished from everyone else’s little mermaid AUs. I wish I could think of one.

/insert Mozart playing in the background because

/I think I want a pirate prequel/subplot/whatever for Rose, Dezel and Eizen, I lack ideas, but anyway, everything is better with pirates. I’m also considering sea monsters, what do you think about sea monsters

/I also don’t know yet how exactly Sorey’s copy of the celestial record survives the shipwreck except by divine intervention, it’s a mystery

/whoops look who rambled again like there was no tomorrow

I’m too lazy and tired to work any more today, and also I miss my AUs (all of them, but let’s start with this one)

So here are cute and incredibly unoriginal sketch-ish chibis

Pretty sure that’s against all fishing laws, but it’s okay

A little commission for the insanely amazing, imaginative, kind and supportive @pasdechat! Pimped pirate Rose enjoying her happy ending with her princess girlfriend. Pirate queen? Whatever. I swear pirate Rose is the ensemble darkhorse of this AU…

I’ve heard it said everyone can appreciate very random Sormik cuddles so here’s some very random and very wonky fluff

I’ve been considering an AU of the AU where Sorey is half fish, too, for the sole reason that they can then also cuddle underwater. I’ll see myself out

#now i want to see them do the big ballroom wedding dance

…I mean did draw them actually dancing before, but I admit that one single waist up sketch is hardly satisfying, and I shall take that as an encouragement to actually do more at some point, haha. Maybe not at Sorey’s wedding, though, because he’s technically still married to Alisha and they’re both bad enough at keeping their covers up in public as it is, haha. But it’s okay. Their engagement basically goes like this:

Not word by word… but that’s the gist of it, lol. Squad goals: cover your friend’s slightly politically inconvenient relationship with a fish hybrid by marrying him to cover your own slightly politically inconvenient relationship with a pirate. =profit.

Alisha is my hero

Reasons why Mikleo is a Disney princess:

1) I don’t know when I don’t know how But I know something’s starting right now Watch and you’ll see Some day I’ll be Part of yooooooooooooooour woooooooooooooooooooorld

2) The most beautiful hair

3) Waist to hip ratio that puts honey bees to shame

4) Big pretty eyes with thick eyelashes

5) I WANNA BE AN ADULT

6) Voice actor can actually sing

7) Happily married at 18

8) Doesn’t weigh anything

9) Always ready to save his useless prince from getting himself killed

10) __________________

…Anyway, this is me delivering Sormik week day 4 super-late  – which would have been “Pendrago— Loss/Protection”, and I figured I’d do more from the infamous Little Mermaid AU.

…And that’s how prince Sorey died from thirst, trapped on an unexplored tiny island in the middle of the ocean, right after being rescued from drowning by his fish boyfriend, what a tragedy. … No, of course not, I’m joking, Rose’s pirates pick him up before that happens.

I SAID IT WAS A BAD JOKE PUT THAT KNIFE DOWN WILL YOU

P.S. from behind the scenes: Me: Wow, this is hella gay Me: *names a layer “Sorey’s crush filter”* Guess what’s on it (spoilers: not much) Me: *proceeds to pick a frilly font for the speech bubbles* …Which aren’t even bubbles. Because I’m THAT lazy. Me: Ah well just wait whether I’ll ever do the Dance of the Vampires/Total Eclipse of the Heart parody, that’s gonna be the gayest thing I’ve ever drawn

P.P.S.: I’m strictly speaking perfectly capable of putting longer descriptions under a cut, but I’m seriously afraid that nobody will read them in that case, so I’ll only do it if you ask me very nicely, just so you know

There’s a billion things I could reasonably have been working on for the past week, and here I am drawing the prologue for the Little Mermaid AU. It has zero plot relevance. It’s pure self-indulgent baby Sormik fluff. Enjoy. Honestly tho the next interesting bits to draw are the kraken and Symonne, haha. Everything in between would be character introduction and world building. Who wants to draw that, like srsly where’s the fun… except Selene’s and Alisha’s gowns.

Selene is alive and a queen, pass it on

(as for something slightly more serious, it’s super difficult to find references for historical nightgowns! I have an AMAZING book on Germany around 1900, but nothing earlier. It’s frustrating and I absolutely made Selene’s up, sorry!)

…I’m calling this done now although I’ll probably find a billion things horribly wrong tomorrow. Now onwards to zine stuff and work! This took me faaaaaaaaaar too long already.

Mersymonne designed at the speed of light

I also wanna do pirate stuff on this blog, so have some super duper quick sketch of pirate Rose and Merlailah bonding

Truth be told, the only reason why I still haven’t designed Dezel and Zaveid for the Little Mermaid AU is because I can’t decide whether they’re actually humanoid or fucking parrots.

I finally finished the Little Mermaid AU chibi set! These are so much work to do, but also very much fun and very satisfying, and I’d love to do many more chibi sets! …Maybe not only Zesty for a change. But also more Zesty.

I’ll let these sink for a few days and then maybe fix things and maybe restock on sticker paper and have them printed.

Scribbled TERRIBLY fanservice-y AU sketches to prove I’m not dead while I work on things and sleep too much

You’re welcome. Or I’m sorry. Whatever works for you.

Truth is Rose is right of course, and the actual file name is “rip meebo” because he’s somewhere off-screen just dying

Hey look more AU scribbles They have captions

Thanks to taking holidays off, I kinda missed Tales of Femslash week and I doubt I’ll come up with something specific for the Rosali week(end), BUT I hereby promise that I’ll continue randomly throwing in Rosali scribbles.

Here’s my humble offering of emo lesbian cuddles
