Prompt.

💖 • A blog with the best edits.

HAMMY'S POSTING. Wanna know something miiiildly amusing? I keep discovering new blogs through @strebcr's blog graphic requests. Pineapple's work is very popular in this corner of the RPC and for a good reason, me thinks. I know the Editblr community exists, but I only know about it because of her lmao. IIRC, she's mentioned before that she makes her graphics in free phone apps? Which is impressive in on itself, I can barely crop videos for gifs and the like without the websites I used throwing a fit and hounding me to buy a subscription I REFUSE to buy. It's nice to hear that people can get so much work done with such little and simple tools, it shows that RPing doesn't have a very high barrier of entry when it comes to graphics. I would know, I used to make everything for my blogs in Paint Tool SAI before I was blessed with my own PSD and knowledge on how to use Photoshop (not because it's objectively better, but because my icons look much better now).

🍂 • Someone who consistently spreads kindness.

HAMMY'S POSTING. I've already mentioned many blogs that could've easily fallen under this category instead, man!! 😭 People that are active atm, that is. If I'm allowed to mention mutuals that haven't been around lately, @proephecy is my pick for one of the KINDEST muns in the RPC. She's the sweetest, a warm light in the Dash, and while I didn't have the chance to write much with her I always enjoyed commenting on her OOC posts and chatting with her. She's just as lovely as her work and her choice in muses, I honestly miss her and her writing lot.

🌙 • A mutual whose aesthetic you adore.

HAMMY'S POSTING. Damn, the only repeat question I got. Guess I'll do something different this time: another speed round but of people that draw a lot for their blog! People that draw their muses for icons and the like deserve way more credit than they usually get!

Talking about OCs, @starfaite's artstyle and character design are to DIE for! Not only Tina's a fellow blue blog/muses enjoyer like I am, but Layla's and all of her alternate versions' icons are drawn by her! And I understand why her icons are bigger as a result, I'd also want people to see my art to the best of their ability, without covering it under overlays and filters and the like. Her last line of drawings, where she's drawn the Laylas in different outfits, are some of my personal favorites, btw.

As for canon muse blogs that also do this, and also use PSDs for their icons, @gniius / @25-centz art is very cute and their icons are simple but VERY eye-catching, which I think works because Donnie writes/draws very stylized cartoon characters. The bold lines, simple shapes, the bright yet limited color palettes; I feel that's why Donnie's blogs are so aesthetically cohesive as a whole! Also yet another mono-blue enjoyer in the case of their Dexter blog, hehe. Ya'll should take look at their art blog sometime, I like how they can draw these characters in their own style but also get really close to the official style if they want to.

Reginald's lower lip is twitching and his eyes are bugging out. It's not a pretty sight, nor is the way his chest heaves with rapid, shallow breaths. He looks as though his very world has been ripped out from under his feet only to be handed back a moment later, shiny and new and presented all neatly on a golden platter just for him.

He looks at Foster like a god ought to be looked at.

"You're... serious." Reginald swallows. "...you're serious?"

Please oh please don't let this be a trick. ...or, as is more likely, a sign that the poor guy's finally gone off the deep end.

"You're a god... and you see potential in my television programs?"

It's no secret that the animatronics are Steven's favorite part of Freddy's; yes, they have their quirks, but they've more than earned the right to get a little testy sometimes. When it comes down to it, they're the heart and soul of this place.

...so when the news rolls in that they'll be hosting a new character from another location, he can't help but be excited.

"Pizzahead," as the animatronic is aptly named, is simply adorable, and although Chica's already the primary mascot when it comes to food, everyone on staff has agreed that it's about time Fazbear's focused more on their signature dish. Having another girl in the cast can't hurt, either, even if she's not one of the core four, and any new attraction means renewed interest from old and new customers alike.

All in all, the addition seems like a huge step in the right direction. The only potential downside Steven has been able to anticipate is the difficulty of fending off a fifth machine during the night, but Pizzahead has been a boon after hours, too; Steve's not sure why, but now that they're no longer alone, the original animatronics seem to be working perfectly fine. No wandering the halls, no showing up at his door... it's almost as though they want to be on their best behavior for the newcomer.

The thought makes him smile, and Bell is almost ready to kick up his feet and settle in for a blessedly boring night when he catches sight of movement on the monitors. It's not coming from the Show Stage, or even from Pirate's Cove; it's coming from the dining area, where Pizzahead is permanently stationed.

Oh, no.

"Come on, don't do this to me," he sighs, straightening back up to focus on the screens. It's just one robot. He's dealt with far worse before.

...except that unlike Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy, he has no idea what he's dealing with when it comes to Pizzahead. Hopefully she'll be as friendly during the night as she is during the day? Who is he kidding. He's learned by now that wishful thinking only gets you one thing in a place like this:

another delightful day of wandering through the frozen wastelands of copper-9! N hums a little tune as he trudges through the snow and climbs over debris, entering a battered building. the disassembly drone pauses, looking at the wreckage inside. there are old, frozen-over supply crates poking out of the mess. oh, good! he needs more minerals to refuel some of his weapons. the robotic vampire swaps out his hands for machete-like clawed appendages and begins moving aside clutter, tugging out one of the storage containers and prying it open.

N exchanges one of his clawed hands for a laser-cannon barrel and begins to rummage through the materials. scans indicate no compatibility so far... wait. what was that? the drone sharply raises his head, gaze flickering in the direction of the movement he'd noticed out of the corner of his eyes. he stands, tail poised like a scorpion's -- he's sure had enough of things sneaking around in creepy and dark places!

   Though Vibri was never usually the type to stay still for so long, she couldn’t help but find herself fascinated watching this small human. This was a child, right?? Then how come he had such a big laboratory just like that other human? Did he make it, or did someone else? Was this some sort of weird human culture thing to have a big room full of computers? Was he just as weird and sad and angry as the bald one was??

   She stayed hidden for the most part, ducking behind various things inside of his computer monitors whenever he’d move about. It was impressive to see such a small human be so incredibly focused! Especially to someone like Vibri, who had far too much energy to just remain seated and do science-y things for so long. Impressive, indeed. It’d probably be best if this human was left to his own devices, uninterrupted...
