*un-dies just to post this and dies again*

This deadass took me like five hours in total I THINK, if not more, but I locked in so hard yesterday and today that I barely felt it lmao

I used Clip Studio Paint's 3D models and did some shading, I got fancy with this one. Everything for my sweet, sweet boys.

Let's not talk about how not-detailed that table and chairs are, focus on the cute gays.

That tickles drawing is literally so adorable I almost died 3 times drawing it. I am a firm believer that Dusty and Blade are total silly goofballs behind closed doors and no one will change my mind.

Yeah, I was up until 3am or so drawing those two being super gay and way too cute.

I'm still figuring out where exactly to put Blade's burn scar, so it's still pretty inconsistent on his arm, and I wasn't really going for displaying that anyway so idgaf. Also idk if their size difference is accurate here lol.

Doodling Blade alone or with Dusty made me go back to drawing, actually, I am so obsessed with Blade and with shipping him with Dusty, they are just ADORABLE together.

Before I knew Dusty/Blade was commonly called croprange or cropranger (before I was on Tumblr that is), I came up with a name for them by myself:

Rangehopper

And I have to admit I like it the most out of all the options lol

Not only because it's my own creation and I'm biased, but also because it flows nicer compared to the other two in my personal opinion. But to each their own, as they say, it's just a ship name

HOWEVER I just realized that my ship name for them may be "superior" for one reason:

The ship: Dusty/Nick/Blade

Nick and Blade are widely accepted as Looprange in the fandom, and I fw that, I like that name.

BUT it poses a "problem" when we try to give that trouple a ship name of their own using croprange/looprange

LoopCropRange/LoopCropRanger just doesn't sound as nicely as

LoopRangeHopper

Not only does it flow nicer in my opinion, but also, if you divide it, you get LoopRange and RangeHopper. Which is just GENIUS!

This post isn't meant to attack anyone using the name croprange or cropranger btw! It's a totally valid ship name, I just like my own better and I believe that's valid too.

Also my personal gripe with CropRange is that it sounds too similar to LoopRange and I just don't like that but it's my skill issue

But worry not, if you reblog my Dusty/Blade posts and wanna add a ship tag, feel free to use whichever one you like! Don't worry about my personal opinion, I really don't mind the different tags. You can use croprange, cropranger or maybe something of your own, and I'd be very glad if you used rangehopper as a ship tag as well to spread my propaganda but you don't have to! No pressure!

It would be very neat tho if at least a few people from this fandom started using my ship name, so feel free to use it in your reblogs of my posts OR even in your own posts if you feel like it! I'll be really happy! It's very neat that fandoms create their own ship names and I just wanna contribute :D

Thanks for keeping the CropRanger fandom alive.
