TH3 HUNTED RABBIT

Just like with writing, on my main blog, I've finally gotten my emotional/creative energy for sculpting back! And that means I already have way too many WIPs piling up on my plate, but I promise I'll try to be more consistent with my plans than I was last year.

Technically, this year's sculpting escapades got started with my IHNMAIMS sculpture, but now I'm briefly returning to an old series that started up back when I still believed in Instagram. (Might try it again sometime, who knows?)

While I plan to make random Spookie Jars in the future, the series really got started with me just making presents for irl friends, planning out the surprise by simply asking for their favorite animals and favorite colors.

And, ever since the success of a special Iron Lung project between myself and a few of my friends here on this site, I'm dedicating these newest pieces to each of them!

(Apologies for A. if the camera quality is awful, and B. the fact that SYMMETRICAL TRAITS CONTINUE TO BE THE BANE OF MY EXISTENCE.)

___

First off, a big ol' grizzly bear for @insane4fandoms ! (I'm sure this being their favorite animal has absolutely nothing to do with a certain chainsaw maniac who wouldn't be caught dead without a certain mascot suit...)

It took longer than expected for me to nail the shape of the muzzle/snout and the nose. I know an easy way to go about it is to look at those features in dogs, but hey, this was my first time sculpting a bear in any case. (Plus, that struggle was a damn cakewalk compared to all the paint mixing I did to get a shade I was satisfied with, both for the fur and the eyes. Although I'm happy that the latter turned out with a color kinda like honey.)

___

Second off: a cheetah for @inkbedou !

In our conversation about their favorite animal, they mentioned a few different big cats, but ultimately told me that cheetahs were their top choice. And I'm sure they meant a typical cheetah (no offense to them, they're awesome), somewhere along the way, I decided to give them an upgrade and make this into a King cheetah!

King cheetahs are the product of a genetic mutation that gives them three distinct stripes running down their backs and a pattern of large, irregular splotches instead of small, uniform spots. (Oh, and by the way, this particular mutation is considered one of the rarest of any species on Earth. To the point that there are less than ten King cheetahs estimated to be in the wild, with only a few more occasionally popping up in sanctuaries/conservation projects!)

___

Third off: a rabbit for @the-matpat-ever !

This is easily the smallest jar/head-lid I've made so far, surpassing the Honduran white bat I made a couple years ago. (As I've mentioned before, I always try to be somewhat realistic to the sizes of the animals I reference. GOD HELP ME IF I EVER MAKE AN ELEPHANT JAR.) My initial assessment of the head was that it looked like a pug with stretched-out ears, but then again, I've never understood how anyone can see pugs as ugly.

The look really came together once I finally settled on a color-scheme. There's a ton of different coloration in both domestic and wild rabbits, so I had a hard time making a final decision, but I eventually went with sable rabbits, since I love how they kinda look like Siamese cats that were squished into bunny-shape.

___

And just because I'm letting myself be cheesy(?) for once, I brought in my hyena jar and the tiger jar I made for @sammys-magical-au :

You really are talented!!! This is making me wanna revamp my fursona a tad bit...Or make a new one...HEHHEHEE

OR JUST MAKE MY FAV EGOS INTO FURRIES- HEHEHEE

I LOVE THAT YOU PICKED A SABLE RABBIT BC THEY ARE SO CUTEEEE

I LOVE ITTT

Something I drew recently! I wanted to draw this outfit of Zack cuz the outfit was so cute!! 😭🩷

This photo was from https://www.instagram.com/p/CuR4-M5L0wE/?img_index=1&igsh=ODhkcm4zZXA0MjBx for a short film called “in your blood” which that I’m really excited for! ^^

People are allowed to have nice things. That's like telling a random stranger "Oh, you're flaunting your wealth!" For going on a trip??? And sharing a bit of their life?? People are allowed to have fun.

From the looks of Anna and Cam's post nowhere do they say or even implicate that they think that "I'm rich and proud!!"

And even if they thought that, it's not bad to be proud at what you've accomplished. It's hard work. And they aren't being rude about anything. It's just a post that you're overanalyzing and being extremely parasocial over.

I know people have their preferences but this is weirding me out, I'm going to say this in the nicest way I can

Why does your blog have posts of shipping real people? Characters made by people (like Paultin because he's a DND character) I don't care about because that's fantasy and fictional, that is completely fine. And I saw a Phantom and Natemare post you reposted (I have mixed feelings because I grew up with the horrors of Sans-cest and idk how I feel about that)

But why in the ever loving fuck are you shipping Nate with his friends? That's a grown ass man. There are other things you can ship

In lieu of an actual Pride-themed story (that might change, but for now I'm more focused on other projects), I'm celebrating with memes!

And of course, said memes are being focused on The Pentas Family! Not only because my hiatus has kept me away from them for so long, but...well, our community is already called The Alphabet Mafia, isn't it?

I know this is probably me overthinking things for the millionth time, but please don't come at me about demonizing queer people. This is FICTION. Yes, these characters are based on real people, but I've always made a point to never direct stuff like this at the actual people. These are harmless headcanons that aren't even set in stone. Whatever I imply here is just a small idea, and I want to be flexible with reader-interpretation for certain subjects. My ask-box is always open for discussion.

(Disclaimer: three of the characters here do not belong to me; they belong to three of my extremely talented friends. Casey Clowes belongs to @insane4fandoms . Sam Ryder belongs to @sammys-magical-au . And Nic Loughty belongs to @the-matpat-ever .)

(As for the characters who DO belong to me: for more information on The Newcomer—or on the mob in general—go here. Murdock belongs to the Markiplier Cinematic Universe, but if you’d like to see my personal headcanons for him, go here. For more information on Parker, go here. For more information on Caliban, go here.  For more information on Azalea, go here. For more information on K.O., go here. For more information on Garret, go here. For more information on Val, go here. For more information on Miles and Howie, go here. For more information on Phoenix, go here. For more information on Mercury, go here. Two-Toes Johnny is technically kinda in the same boat as Murdock, but if you’d like to see my personal headcanons on him, go here.)

___

Mercury: Fuck coming out, just keep acting gay until someone has the guts to call you out about it

___

The Newcomer: I’m genderless. I’m full of gender. I’m a malewife. I’m a biblically accurate angel. I’m a pop idol. I’m the fourth incarnation of God. I’m a convicted criminal. I’m never gonna die—

___

[Casey is having yet another run-in with Caliban and Murdock. It’s right in the middle of an investigation for him, and right in the middle of a hit-job for them. As usual, snark infests the scene.]

Casey: Nope, I’ve already looked the other way enough!

Caliban: What’s one more time? C’mon, we have standards! We respect boundaries!

Casey: Oh really?! You could’ve fooled me! Name one line you guys won’t cross!

Murdock: Well, we don't accept jobs that involve taking the target on dates or advancing up the bases until it’s killing-time. That’s fucking gross!

Casey: …Alright, fine, that’s pretty valid. 

Murdock: Damn right it is. And even if we didn’t have those standards, I’d still hate it. You have any idea how hard it is to come up with pick-up lines that are actually good without making things weird? 

Casey: I mean, to that end, it sounds like you just don’t try hard enough.

Murdock: Oh yeah? You go ahead and come up with a clever, non-committal pick-up line right now—

Casey: “Hey, are you a firework? Because you’re breathtakingly beautiful, but I still don’t want you anywhere near my crotch.”

Caliban: … 

Murdock: …Holy SHIT. 

Caliban: *falls to the floor, cackling so hard he’s struggling to breathe*

___

[A typical day at Ear Caffeine] 

Nic: *showing his boyfriend around the studio before he clocks out* 

Parker: *notices this while working on the recording equipment* My fucking God, these bitches GAY. 

Parker: …Good for them. Good for them. 

___

Murdock: Some idiot wrote a fucking article about how men might be absorbing estrogen through their dicks whenever they have sex with their girlfriends. 

Garret: *sarcastic but also dumbfounded* “Fellas, is it GAY to have sex with a WOMAN?”

Mercury: Absolutely. Feel free to come over to my place and get an extra dose of testosterone.

Two-Toes Johnny: *taking a swig of whiskey and not looking up from his book* The ancient Greeks be like—

___

“I think I’m falling for you.”

Azalea: …Look, that’s nice, but you can go ahead and get up.

___

K.O.: The fact that straight people have convinced themselves that wrestling isn’t gay erotic foreplay is truly one of the greatest mysteries known to mankind. 

Mercury: And show wrestling is basically just theater. So it’s even GAYER!

___

Val: My pronouns of choice are they/them. 

Howie: *jokingly* But you’re only one person.

Murdock: Lmao at the person who doesn’t know that nonbinary people are just swarms of bees in disguise. 

Caliban: RELEASE THE NONBEENARIES. 

___

Phoenix: My very religious but supportive elderly neighbor asked me what I’m giving up for Pride, because I think she thinks it’s like Lent and Pride parades are like Mardi Gras?

Val: *nodding along* …

Phoenix: Anyway, I panicked and said “oatmeal.”

___

K.O.: Shout-out to the twink at this year’s Pride festival who brought his own megaphone to counteract the evangelical protestors by shouting out the entirety of a recipe for mac-n-cheese

___

Val: Asking for straight Pride is like asking for able-bodied parking spaces

Mercury: That’s a really good comparison, because there are about seventy able-bodied parking spaces to one disabled parking space, and able-bodied people still insist on using the ones that aren’t theirs.  

Phoenix: This is seriously a great allegory. 

Murdock: “Cemeteries for LIVING people” 

___

Val: One of my favorite things about Pride month is celebrating the many achievements of the LGBTQIA+ community, like when we collectively stole the rainbow from God

___

Mercury: If there’s a sassy gay friend, then there’s gotta be some sarcastic ace-spectrum and aro-spectrum friends

Caliban: *finger-gunning*

Azalea: *applauding*

Murdock: *politely nodding*

Parker: *raises his hand* Brutally honest bisexual friend 

Sam: *raises their hand* Pissed off pansexual friend 

___

Two-Toes Johnny: *tipsy but genuine* Reblog if you ARE queer, or if you SUPPORT queer people, or if you like to BREAK people’s WINDOWS in the middle of the NIGHT and toss DOZENS of GEESE in their BEDROOMS—

___

The Newcomer: I pirated my gender online

___

Caliban: So, you identify as bisexual? 

Parker: I think so.

Caliban: And that means you could have a male partner…

Parker: Yep.

Caliban: Or a female partner… 

Parker: *Not sure where this is going, since Caliban is married and Caliban knows he isn’t Parker’s type* Yeah?

Caliban: So, if you don’t have any partner at all, does that mean you’re on standbi?

Parker: …

Caliban: … *grinning in SUCH A SMUG WAY*

Parker: *internally screaming and furiously trying not to smile under his face-mask*

___

Val: So, I’m nonbinary, but I’m technically a woman

Murdock: Okay—I mean, I already knew that, but you still have a man’s body

Val: Oh damn, you’re right, we should probably bury this target instead of talking about gender

Murdock: Yeah, I’ll get the shovels

___

Miles: Last night, I had a dream where gay people could only walk backwards

Garret: By extension, straight people can only walk forward. Bisexuals can go forwards and backwards, and pansexuals can go any direction. 

Murdock: Asexuals and aromantics just stand there. WATCHING. 

Caliban: So…with demisexuals or demiromantics, I’m guessing they just stand there like asexuals until someone pulls them along. Sounds about right. 

Azalea: Aha, demi-inclusive stuff!

K.O.: And polysexuals can walk in some directions, but not all of ‘em. Will vary from poly to poly

Casey: …I mean, this is a really good explanation and all, but when did the queer community become a game of Chess? 

___

Howie: Those moments where straight people assume a queer person is one of them, and the queer person gets to feel like a queer secret agent. 

Mercury: Secret gaygent or lesbionage 

Parker: Bi-spy

Sam: Pan with a plan 

The Newcomer: Queer with gear 

___

Val: The F on my birth certificate was the doctor paying respect when I was born

___

Garret: Hey everyone, I think I might be omni

Murdock: Yeah, no shit

Miles: Easy, Murdock. Thanks for telling us, Garret. We’re proud of you. 

Howie: I just hit someone with one of my cars—

___

K.O.: I've only been able to see so many of Penelope's drag races...but I gotta say, the absolute best had one of the queens introduce the show with, “Ladies, gentlemen, and those of us who know better...” 

___

Howie: Girls are so hot 

Mercury: Guys are hot, too

Two-Toes Johnny: Why is everyone so hot?

Casey: Because of global warming

Garret: Aaaaaannnd there’s the asexual

TY FOR INCLUDING MY GREMLIN, IT MADE ME GIGGLE

THIS BUT WITH PHANZACH.

I NEED THEM CUDDLING OR ANGST.

JUST LET ME HAVE THISSSS AUGHHHH

Dawktrap moodboard for my friend @the-matpat-ever :3

ALSJJDHSKAKSHD

Being the way I am, I decided to give my customization project a little last-minute touch along with everything I'd already had planned:

Meet Lotte, my second-ever customized Labubu! Yeah, the colors over her actual eyes are harsh and juvenile, but isn't that a huge part of TADC's entire aesthetic?

The eyes on the stomach and back were all part of my original plan, and I'm honestly really happy with how they turned out! (Even so, Lotte's face still looked a bit plain compared to her new traits, so I decided to take a chance and bring the felt back out.) The arrangement might look a bit wobbly/irregular, but hey, Abstraction canonically leaves your mind wobbly/irregular, doesn't it?

On top of this, I've got one more finished product to share:

Okay, not all that different from my first progress-pic, but whatever!

Funny story: right after I placed my order for the eye-charms, I immediately started looking for a tooth-charm to go with them (because you can't honor Caine without teeth), but none of the options I found would've flowed very well with this design. So, imagine my surprise when I found the perfect pendant sent as an extra little gift in the package with the eyes! Like the actual chain, the ring around the tooth and the little bar behind it were recycled from other stuff in my jewelry box.

Despite what I said in my last post, I won't be able to post my theater outfit until a while later (long story not worth telling). I'll still try to share before the night is done, if anyone is still interested, lol.
