Ah I'm so glad it helped! And OHOHOHO BUDDY YOU'VE COME TO THE RIGHT PLACE-

For the Spanish streamers, I recommend checking out my QSMP Info tag, which has a summary of several Spanish streamers who were invited to the QSMP. I haven't covered everyone, but it's a good starting point for people who aren't familiar with any of them! Several were in Karmaland as well, so I've summarized their lore in these posts as a fun little bonus.

For clips, check out @royalarchivist and the QSMP tag! There are a lot of Spanish streamers featured in it.

And if you're ever interested in watching Karmaland 5, this post can help! I'd like to do a Karmaland 5 summary myself, but I'm afraid I haven't had the time lately :'D

If you have any other questions, please feel free to DM me! I'm the opposite of a gatekeeper, I can't shut up about this series, I love it so much :')

I've only known Arin for 2 days, but if anything happened to him... well, you know the meme. Luzu hit such a specific special interest niche of mine making this dude, I love Arin.

For people who are familiar with Luzu in QSMP / Karmaland but don't know Arin, the TDLR of it is: when Luzu goes to sleep, Arin, a being from a different world, “wakes up” in his body. Arin's a very innocent, curious, and intelligent person who's just learning about the world. He's only been "alive" for about a week, but many members of the server have already taken advantage of his naivéty and have been very cruel to him. :'(

Here's a more in-depth explanation of Arin's lore right now. After Phil's little encounter with that binary "god" yesterday who led him to Luzu's house, I get the feeling Arin's going to be very important in the near future!

Yesterday's QSMP trailer got me so hyped that I dropped everything to do a little something for it. These drawings are actually from a COMPLETELY different project I'm working on, but that trailer made me crazy and I wanted to contribute something too, even if it's short.

I'm legitimately SO proud of Quackity, and I'm so grateful for the incredibly kind international community he's created. I admire how much love and passion he has for his projects, and I'm super excited for what's to come! 💕

I like to imagine that at the end of MTMTE, Rung took that little Rung figurine with him. :’) I really miss this series, and I’d love to reread it sometime (if only I could get my hands on Volume 7... then my collection will be complete).

I’ve got a lot of old art I’ve never shared / finished due to various reasons, but I’d like to start drawing and posting things again, so I’ll try and work through ye old backlog

I missed Eryn’s birthday and I missed Eret’s 2 year DSMP anniversary, BUT it’s the 2 year anniversary since the betrayal, so I can at least pretend like I’m being timely :’D

Eryn and Eret’s interactions were so funny. Their characters and their personalities bounce off each other so well, and from a lore perspective, it’s really fun to see the “lonely king” who’s worked so hard to promote peace since the betrayal being followed around by a chaotic force of nature like Eryn.

Not sure what the upcoming plans for the DSMP are, but I’d love to see them interact more! In the meantime, I’ll keep theorizing ways we can get more info about them and c!Eret’s past.

*Taps mic* This thing still on?

Anyways, it’s been a hot minute. I was admittedly skeptical when I first heard about Promare, but I went to see it anyways solely because the animation looked cool. (I then proceeded to watch it 4 more times then paid an absurd amount of money to see it in 4DX). I’m really glad I gave it a chance because the entire movie is SO hype and such a huge serotonin rush!

I drew these about 3 years ago (realizing this made me shrivel into dust), but burnout and quarantine depression made me reluctant to compile any of my sketchdumps, much less draw at all. I’m hoping to slowly get back into the swing of things, but in the meantime, I hope you’re all being kind to yourselves and staying safe.

“Wouldn’t it be nice if both of Allen’s dads were alive?” I say 2 seconds before spiraling into self-indulgent niche AU hell. Anyways, this is my take on a DGM “Howl’s Mana’s Moving Castle” AU.

I don’t care if people read this as platonic or romantic or whatever, but if Hoshino “Luke & Leia”s us at some point, that’s on you. In the meantime, (Older) Mana / Cross is my “Schrodinger’s Crackship” because: 1) I want Allen to have his dads back and I love the “Found Family” trope, 2) Mana / Cross has the potential to be both sweet yet tragic and I love to suffer, but mostly: 3) I love the implication that Mr. Womanizer Cross has (or had) feelings for a clown because that’s downright hysterical. Mana may deserve better, but Cross sure doesn’t, lmao.

BONUS DOODLE + more thoughts & cast list under cut:

I’ve had this dork on my mind so I did that one Inuyasha meme. Breaking into Megaop art with memes and angst, as you do

While I have your attention, let me shamelessly plug my TFP Megaop fanfic “Change, In All Things, Is Inevitable” (can’t directly link to it b/c Tumblr hates links, but you should check it out!). It’s about the pre-war friendship between Megatronus / Orion Pax (and Soundwave) and their inevitable fallout. It’s a multichapter fic, but each chapter can exist as a stand-alone. (Think of it like 11 shorts in one package! Isn’t that generous? (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧ Chapter 11 is my personal favorite).

A bit of an older drawing that I haven’t had the motivation to finish / post till now. Anyways, if you like unrequited love / mutually unrequited love, oblivious idiots, or slow-burns derailed by revolution, then you should read my Megop fic “Change, In All Things, Is Inevitable”! It covers their first meeting, the inevitable fallout, and beyond, but each chapter can exist as a stand-alone. My personal favorites are chapter 4 (fluff + friendship), chapter 6 (the fallout, because I Love To Suffer), chapter 7 (Megatron / Soundwave moments), and chapters 9+10+11 (delicious angst, hope, and bittersweet endings).

Yes, I know I’m recommending about half the fic, but it’s a fun read! (Though if I REALLY had to choose, Chapter 11 is my absolute favorite). Go check it out!

Bonus Megatronus version because I’m a sap: (Full-view)

Long time no art post! (I swear I’m still alive). To celebrate Gemsona-HQ’s six year anniversary, I opened up gemsona requests for the first time in years. I originally planned to only pick a few and do very basic doodles, but I got way too enthusiastic seeing everyone’s gemsona designs and, well, here we are. :’D Better late than never, I suppose! I also got really excited when I realized I could turn this into a gemsona rainbow.

If you’d like a full-sized version of your drawing, feel free to send me a message. (Please give me credit if you use the image as an icon / header / whatever. Thanks!)

Trying to write everyone’s url got messy, so owners are listed below in order: 

Siiiiiimpatico! (Please full-view)

I actually drew this last year for a friend’s birthday, but I completely forgot to post the darn thing after I sent it to her :’D I think out of all the couples on the Lost Light, this pairing is the one that caught us both off-guard the most. Unexpected, but charming for sure! These two dorks deserve each other.

I’m still in the deep creative rut I’ve been stuck in for the last *checks calendar* seven-ish months or so, so I apologize for the lack of updates. I’m slowly pushing forward, but it’s definitely an uphill battle. Thanks for sticking with me everyone, I hope you’re all having a lovely 2019 so far.

Other places you can find me

As I’m sure you’re all well aware by now, Tumblr’s latest “update” is affecting a lot of it’s users directly or indirectly. While my art and my blog don’t violate their new guidelines, their algorithms could still hit me anyways. In case that happens feel free to follow my other accounts:

Twitter: gayrobothell

Ao3: InconvenientImmortal

Tumblr is still the primary place where I post my art and I don’t plan on leaving anytime soon, but I understand a lot of my followers / friends are adversely affected by the update, so hopefully we’ll still be able to interact on one of these other sites. 🌠 

Way to play yourself, Tailgate. I always thought the minibots’ interactions (esp. Tailgate’s and Rewind’s) were sweet. I love their friendship, and all the friendships in MTMTE! Someday I’ll write out the fic I had in mind for Tailgate and Rewind, but for now, a comic will have to do. 

Anyways, happy Lost Light Fest! I knew I wouldn’t be able to participate in the traditional way (primarily since I’m still learning how to draw these darn bots) but I wanted to express my love of the series before it ended. Thanks for creating such a wonderful narrative, JRO. This comic’s done a lot for me, and my life is better from having read it. For people who haven’t had the pleasure of reading Transformers: More Than Meets the Eye yet, I heartily recommend it! It’s got a sweet, exciting, and heartfelt story with gorgeous artwork and characters I absolutely adore. It’s also got great representation with multiple canon gay / lesbian / trans characters, and it handles the topic of mental illness really well. It’s a pretty forgiving starting point for people who are new to Transformers too. MTMTE was my first TF comic, and it cemented my love of Transformers! If you want more info about the comic / where to start, look here.

Long time no Megaman! I blame severe burnout and an overall lack of time, among other things. Mostly old doodles with some new ones scattered in, including the unfinished companion piece I originally planned to accompany the other two entries I did for Miyabi’s “30th Anniversary Megaman Project”. Alas, the best laid plans of mice and men, as they say.

I know the "Robot Cataclysm" theory (aka "Zero goes on a murdering rampage and kills all the Classic characters") has been disproven, but that's not going to stop me from imagining an epic final throwdown between my two favorite DWNs. The first DWN vs. the last DNW...I love the idea (though it’s sure to end badly...for poor Metalman, anyways). We’ll just have to pretend in that scenario, Megaman would swoop in to save the day!

As usual, please full-view and click for captions.

💕 Happy (belated) Valentine's Day! 💕 I was determined to submit something to @rockmiyabideusexmachina’s V-day contest no matter what, so after realizing I didn’t have time to do my original idea for the Humor category, I whipped together this comic for the Talent one (though I think the subject matter leans more towards humor, oops). This is definitely the fastest comic I've ever drawn; I wound up pulling two all-nighters in order to ensure it got finished. For something I put together in three-ish days (+ one day of cleanup / layout), I actually think it turned out pretty nice! (Please full-view, and click for captions!)

I based this comic on two goofy textposts I made almost a year ago. I don't think Zero or X are the marriage-type because their bond goes beyond human constructs of relationships (and they wouldn't feel the need to make their love official in other people's eyes), but this goof was too good to pass up! I'm still not over how ridiculously huge their hands are, especially in the Megaman X5 / X6 official art (I still love the artwork from those games though).

Unrelated, but the Beach Boy's "Wouldn't It Be Nice?" started playing while I was coloring this (specifically, the second to last image) and it Destroyed Me.

I wanted to make an official ref for my Reploid oc, Monarch Monsoon, and in the process, I wound up creating an entire sketchdump of her (and some other characters)! Needless to say, it got out of hand real fast. I decided to throw in some other neat OCs I've seen because there's so many cool fan designs, I figured it’d be fun to show them a little love while doing the same for my gal. (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧

Please full-view, some of these got a little blurry! (Click for captions!)

Anoxia belongs to @astrobullet, Replichi belongs to @reploid-prince, Ray belongs to @rayum, and everyone else in the third image has their respective creator's url next to them (I feel a little sheepish @'ing people for sketches).

Here’s some more details / info about Monarch:

This is the second (non-collab) piece I did for Miyabi’s 30th Anniversary project! (Please full-view). Like I said in my last piece, my partner and I decided we’d pay tribute to Megaman 8′s neat intro for the ‘Megaman Mashup’ prompt. It wound up being a super relevant idea because a few weeks after our decision, someone got their hands on the animation cels for Megaman 8!

I decided to draw Zero in Blues' (Protoman’s) iconic "standing on a rocky outcrop in front of the clouds while looking cool" pose for the prompt theme. They're both stoic guys who are secretly way less calm and collected than they appear, so I thought it was a good match! I had a lot of fun drawing the clouds and coloring Zero (that being said...drawing his helmet from the back was absolute hell). I'm really fond of using Archie comic's bright color palettes now!

What’s Zero thinking about with such a serious expression? Well...
