Halloween season coming up and of course have to join in on the Trick or Treat exchange.

treat likes: Fluff, humor, events like parties, costumes, food, arts/crafts.

There's really only one fandom I'm open for more trick this season (That being Monkey Wrench.) and I just ask for no extreme gore or character death.

And some ideas for each fandom. Feel free to try other ideas if they come to mind.

Monkey Wrench

I love the idea of Shrike and Beebs crashing a costume party. Maybe for a job, or maybe because it was just a ideas of Shrike.

That or something scary maybe to do with the green infection.

Cookie Run

Wizard, Gingerbrave, and Strawberry and maybe something with costumes or forms based off Halloween candies?

Shadow Milk having fun with Halloween festivities in some way.

General Mills Corporation "Count Chocula" commercials

The monsters not understanding why trick or treaters are coming their scary looking castle.

Or maybe one of them convinces the other two to watch a scary movie and shenanigans ensue.

M&M's Commercials

The M&M's working together to convince candy shoppers before Halloween to not buy M&M's.

The M&M's and costumes.

Was inspired recently to work out a world building sort of game system to help me build out my sci fi universe more. And maybe make it easier to post about more?

I had started on making a rough, ever changing deck of cards with prompts of sorts on them. Dice get involved in time soon and letter tiles. Rough looking in look and rules. Did a couple of play tests and it'll be worked on more. But it's helping I think.

So the first card I drew was to make a new species. Here is some of the basic information I have. I have more, but I also don't want to over whelm with information all at once.

I AM always open to thoughts and questions though.

The new Species are called "Conpion's"

The Conpion's are a species that's body is formed by what looks like a garbage bag, their form shaped by how much junk they have in their body. This means that come in various sizes. The more garbage bag ones have a ant colony like society.

Fabric variations like to live in towns and cities, taking place in society themselves.

Clear plastic bag Conpion's are more like the sea gulls of shopping centers. Quick to eat garbage or flutter away in the wind like birds. Sometimes will steal on accident, thinking you're done with say like, a half empty paper coffee cup.

Kind of inspired by the trubbish pokemon but less cute and more variations to them.

Just curious, does anyone else here use the site 4thewords with their writing?

For those who don't know what 4thewords is, it's a site that makes writing a game basically. You have a character you can make, level up, gets clothes/hair/etc for. Along with quests that require defeating monsters that you need to write a certain word count in a certain time limit.

I've been using the site for years and I adore it.

Light is on for: anybody!

What's in the Bowl?: Drabbles/fic (at least 100 words) and oc concepts for fandoms i've worked with before or general settings.

Let Me Know: One can find out what fics i've written fic and there for what fandoms i'll work with on my ao3, wonderminterplus

Other info: Feel free to let me know if there is anything you really like to see with either drabble prompt or oc concepts. The same goes for the opposite. Anything you don't want to see or would be triggering. I also will not have drawings with the oc concepts. It's more like a loose profile.

Also for ocs, ahead of time want to mention you can do whatever you wish with oc concept after. Change whatever you want if you do. Use them however you like.

Been feeling slightly like I'm back in a art rut again. Meaning I think I'm ready to grow some more art wise.

I am taking some steps, finally doing some work on a making a character sculpture out of parts of old toys and other materials. (i think it can be called scratch building or something like that.)

Nothing makes you feel more like a villain then cutting off the ears of one of those cute sylvanian families blind bag rabbits ( I mean, they are the perfect candidate for one of my sci fi universe species called a Hoplix, which is basically rabbit with different colors, and ears that look like those dna strand models. What we do for art.)

I did also make a armature for the new avaloner whose face is part of this dolphin toy's face.

That said, I've been feeling lately like I want to expand to bigger or more collaborating projects. To grow.

Been a bit since I made a entry here. Been in the art mood and working on a bunch of art. The art I've finished though is not so much what I'm just kind of chattering about here is a future art experiment.

I've been collecting some plastic bits and bobs in a attempt to get more into scratch building/making things from junk. And a thought occurred to me today. Doing that scratch building but also mixing in some paper mache somehow? Like the body is made of paper mache but a face, limbs, and some details might be plastic things?

A thought I'm going to expand on soon.

One of the shows I've come across a few years ago and adore is the show "Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go!". Robot monkey, giant robot, a skeleton villain voiced by Mark Hamill. I do warn for a ton of body horror in this show for those not into that.

That said, there are a few things I would had liked to seen in the shows run. ( besides what would have happened after the last episode. The way they ended the show was a cliffhanger and it was like nooooo! Where's the rest of it.)

- The team getting more down time moments. Time to time we'll see some characters at the arcade or something like that. But not very much.

- More Nova hanging out with Jinmay would had been nice (we do not count the Hills have Fives episode because that episode is... well ,not good.)

That's off the top of my head. Anyone else have things they would have liked to see happen or happen more in their old favorite shows?

My mood for working on art has been pretty down for the last couple of months. Lots of different reasons why. But I am starting to feel a bit of my art mood coming back I think. Enough that I'm thinking of wips or new ideas I can work on.

Hopefully that sticks around.

If anyone saw my attempts to get a handle of dreamwidth cuts and formatting words... no you didn't. That said, I'm just going to share ao3 links for now on.

This one is to one of my cookie run kingdom drabble collections.

I got a few comfort shows I love to play in the back ground.

My top one is Bob's Burgers. I adore the humor, heart, and the characters in the show. There are so many good characters I can't even decide on a favorite.

I also love "The Great North." for those same reasons. Same folks created both shows I believe.

creative competition shows in general. Anything where folks are creating something like baking, sewing clothes, wood carving, pottery, make up effects, glass blowing, and general crafting for examples. I just love seeing what people can make. (not so much a fan of drama when there is so. I just think of this one guy in project runway who had a hearing aid and every time folks started to really argue in the work room he just turn off the hearing aid and I totally respect him for that and i would do the same thing if I were him. )

Finally, the show "Speechless". The show ended some time ago at three seasons (which, is a decent run.) . Main character is JJ, a teenager with cerebral palsy, using a wheel chair and one of those word boards. and it's about him and his family ( who, besides Ray (i'm not going to lie, the character Ray mostly sucks but he's often not framed as right. and yes, he does have good moments and in the end at least is a good sibling.) and just being. It's funny, the characters are fun, heartfelt in a lot of areas, and does talk about issues that disabled folks go through (the episode on inspiration porn for example is a good one.) . The last episode always makes me cry in a good way.

I like to keep track of how many fics (more like drabbles then long fics to be clear. ) I write per year just for fun. Last year I wrote 54 fics.

This year has started out slow writing wise (lots of stressful things these days happening part of the reason I'm sure.) . But eh, it's more a for fun thing rather then a try to out do my record thing.

In any case, the current count starting from January first is 11 fics.

2 for Gravity Falls

3 for Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce go!

1 Storm Hawks

5 for Cookie Run

Besides my current Cookie Run Addiction, there are three games coming out (one already out but becoming available on steam i think on the 29th.)

Infinity Nikki: I swear not all I play is gacha games ( not that I'm judging those who do. ) , but open world fashion related game sounds like fun.

Fantasy Life the girl who steals time: I played the first of these games on I think it was the 3ds so many years ago, and I adored that game. Cure characters designs, many jobs for a character and you don't have to choose just one. and the mini games with the crafting skills. Looking forward to this sequel.

Date Everything: I love a dating game or two. and the idea of humanized versions of everything in your house (and i think they are... at least a 100 characters. Not sure how true that is or if all characters are dateable. But it looks interesting. And lots of cool voice actors in this game.

I had played a bit of Cookie Run Kingdom in the past but deleted it off my phone as not much for playing games on my phone. However, a mix of what I was learning about the character Shadow Milk cookie and finding out that I can not play the game on pc has gotten me back in the game.

I've been playing a lot.

One of the funniest things to me in Cookie Run is when your team has a cookie in it that appears in the plot. Just a Strawberry Crepe cookie in my group and there she is on the other side.

At that point I often like to say "Well, one of us will have to change."

I'm hoping to get Shadow Milk at some point. Some day.

I'm happy with whatever. Gen, fluff, angst, mature rated. Whatever is written/drawn for me I'm sure to love it.

Do not wants: Character death mainly. Extreme gore.

General wants: Holidays, going to fun family events, masquerade balls, baking related, arts and crafts, monsters, mythology.

Mature wants: Bondage, master/pet

Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go!

Favorite characters: Otto, Gibson, Antauri, Mandarin

Ships:

Otto/Gibson: I love them as a sweet couple. Both of them smart in their own ways

Antauri/Mandarin: The angst/toxic pairing for this fandom. One sided "i once loved you." on Antauri's side angst.

Gravity Falls

Favorite characters: Bill, Ford, Mabel, Stan, Dipper, Wendy.

Bill/Ford. Mostly like it in a one sided, toxic way. I'm very open for anything dark. Monster, more human, triangle for Bill. Any form is good.

Fiddleford/Stan: Either they get together in early after Ford went through the portal age, or later as old men. Either way I like them being supportive/soft with each other.

Sing

For Sing my favorite characters are Buster, Nooshy, Jimmy, Ash.

Ships

Buster/Jimmy: Again, dark and one sided. Jimmy very much using position to have power of Buster.

It is that time of year again! Time for yuletide and time for another yuletide letter. I'll get right to the details.

General DNWS: extreme gore (especially involving eye horror) character death, underage, or incest.

Stuff I love: Fluff, humor. Holidays or fun events characters going to. Getting pets. Games.

For characters in each fandom I chose any of the available in the tags. So use which ever one of the characters you wish. ( I will mention if I have particular ships. But you don't have to write that ship at all if not feeling it.)

The Great North

I love this family and just adore their family shenanigans. Maybe something with fat bear week again, but betting between family members gets out of control. Or Ham making a special bear themed cake for fat bear week? (( doesn't have to be fat bear week by the way. Only suggestions coming to mind right now. ))

Drak Pack

I ship Howler/Drak/Frankie together. As always, don't have to write the pairing I like.

The show never really goes into hobbies that the trio has. Maybe something on hobbies?

Loonatics Unleashed

My main ship for this fandom tends to be Rev/Tech.

A idea is characters having a movie night (Tech strikes me as the guy who goes "That can't happen!" during a movie. )

Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go!

Love Otto/Gibson as a pairing.

The monkey team almost never have down time in this show. I would like to see something where they just get to hang out without villain attack.

Tis the season of pumpkins, bats, ghosts, and much more again. I'll get right to it then.

General do not wants: Character death, gore, more so eye horror.

Things I love: world building, holidays, parties, vacations, characters getting a pet.

Fandom specific, more like suggestions then anything anyone has to stick hard to.

Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce go! : I do have this thought of the monkey team telling various stories about Mandarin before he went power mad. Maybe a bit bittersweet as there were some nice memories in there too.

Also the thought of the whole team just sharing their favorite t.v shows.

Gravity Falls: If Mabel and Pacifica related I like things more in the treat realm. Maybe Pacifica is finally able to live away from her parents and wants to cut and dye her hair. And Mabel helps. Or Pacifica looking for a special craft supplies she knows Mabel would love.

For Bill and Ford however, I don't mind if things get mature or dark.

Hazbin Hotel: I'm really here for Angel, Pentious and Husk hanging out more. So either shenanigans. Or one of them gets into some sort of trouble and the other two are there in moments.

I will say I'm a really big Pentious fan in general.

Helluva Boss: Maybe Blitz showing Millie and Moxxie some old circus tricks?

As said, these are all just suggestions. Thank you in advance for the work put behind the fan work. I'm always pleased and thankful each year and I love this event in general. Both for creating and getting.

So art has slowed down lately. Working more on writing then visual art. Though I have still made some slight progress in some experiments. Mainly with paper mache.

It's been learning curve of course. But it was very helpful to have some really good guides to paper mache art from youtube. Look up Jane Sawyer Makes.

So the idea of one of the paper mache projects I'm working on right now is suppose to be a sort of monster plant. Very early stages right now. But yeah, used a box cut up in a way that it looks like a sort of more box like plant head. It has space where I can work inside the mouth area too.

I'm thinking of making the eyes out of Styrofoam egg halves and paper clay. And make the tongue out of apoxie sculpt? I might actually try making a paper mache tongue with some gardening wire first and see how that goes too?

The teeth I'm thinking paper clay too.

And then I thought what about a base. I think I'll get a plant pot of some kind at the dollar store, decorate that. Maybe makes some fake foliage/leaves to go with the plant. Give it more character to the final look.

I also am taking steps to start making stickers or keychains out of some art of mine. Depending on prices and how many I need to order might make one sticker design and one keychain design.

I have a few art projects I'm juggling currently. The cliff side house piece one of them. But also one experiment piece with multiple layers of paper, tearing some parts of that paper, and laying more. Repeat often until happy. I'm thinking also using some mixed media paper scraps, gluing those down in a ring shape and kind of going for a portal feeling?

I also have a piece I'm working on that is brought up to the main piece I have to work on as it's for a upcoming art show. The theme being based off of tarot cards. I went for the lovers card for my theme. And I thought that using some inspiration from the painting "The Kiss" by Gustav Klimnt.

Not in the image itself. More like some of the repeating details such as some color schemes and markings. The image I'm working on is having two people walking through the woods hand in hand.

I have the background base color down and some green down from grass. I need to put together some trees. I've cut out the trunks but need to glue down some squares in three different shades of yellow to make up the leaf clusters of the trees.

Really hoping to use the trees and bushes to help make some depth in the piece too.

This is the first time I've tried to somewhat emulate a existing artists style. So we'll see how this goes.

I've really been working on the cliff side houses piece since last time.

One big change I've done in the process of making this piece is making the decision that I'm no longer filling the whole of the upper space with buildings. I've glued down a bunch of the house bases I've put together onto the canvas. The shape that they are making is a better balance for the piece I feel. So I've painted the empty space around it for a sky.

Now that the paint has dried I started also the work of getting apoxie sculpt bit by bit onto the house bases. I started on covering a bit of one house at a time because I want to make sure I can add the details to the houses before the apoxie starts to harden. I'm personally loving the roof texture I made.

One fun tip I have learned from some youtube videos was to use a bit a water on a detailing tool or a finger (make sure wearing gloves. I mentioned it before but doesn't hurt to repeat safety tips.) to be able to smooth out the sculpt. One of the most helpful things I've learned about using this material really.

Besides apoxie sculpt adventures, I got out to the craft store. Gift cards I got in tow. And in the trip I got the paper clay I needed. So I have a few art experiment projects put aside that have been waiting for the paper clay as I needed it.

Mainly I'm thinking the mask decoration project. Though I'm also thinking of using a bit of the paper clay to make flowers and vines for the cliff side houses piece. Would bringing a slightly different texture to the piece I think.

Also creation related, I joined in on "get your words out" this year, so soon to be lots of writing talk too.

I'm not a BIG fan of horror. At least most of the time not of watching horror movies. I do have a odd amount of approximate knowledge of many horror movies only because I listen to a lot of funny podcasts that talk about movies. In fact, some of those podcasts are distinctly about horror movies. I couldn't tell you why I go about knowing about most horror movies that way.

Now, I say all that to mention that I don't talk about horror movies often. Which will make this subject odd for me.

But... Gremlins. You know, those little chaos creatures from two movies and a cartoon series (( which I've watched a bit of the series. I need to finish it at some point)) . And mainly, I'm thinking particularly of sort of "what if?" designs for the Mogwai and Gremlins themselves. Sort of like how in the second movie there will different kind of Gremlins because of the laboratory

I just want to design all sorts of Mogwai and Gremlins. Like a winter furred type, tiger striped? Things like that..
