From chapter 1 of Code: Safe Word by @setepenre-set. I love this story so much and binged it immediately, can’t wait for the next update! I just finished drawing a little picture of how I imagined the little “game” they play in the first chap when he kisses her.

!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH! 💙💙💙💙

I really love this; I am very impressed with the way you’ve drawn her tied-up arms and the spikes on his costume. Trying to get the direction of the spikes correct is always really hard for me, as is figuring out the positioning for bound arms; you make both those things look effortless in this! 

The curve of his collar and the curve of his head also look really lovely together, especially considered with the shape of Roxanne’s head. The way her head and his collar balance each other in complementing curves; it gives the composition of the piece a visual similarity to a flower blooming, with Megamind’s head as the center, and the collar and Roxanne’s head as the unfurling petals. It brings the focus of the viewer in to the center of the flower, and the focus of the piece: the kiss, and gives the piece a sense of romance.

I also really love their expressions; both of them are focused on the kiss, but Roxanne is more relaxed while Megamind is tense and absolutely intent on the kiss, with his brow furrowed. Like Roxanne is really just enjoying the kiss while Megamind is focused on doing this right and memorizing how this feels. It looks like a much-anticipated and enjoyed first kiss for Roxanne, while for Megamind it looks like a first-and-last kiss. Roxanne thinks in that scene that he kisses her like the world is ending, and you’ve shown that in his expression very well!

AAAAA I’M SO HAPPY THAT YOU LIKE IT! I’m having a bit of a meltdown over here with your kind words, thank you so much! I actually drew it on a smaller notebook that’s about the size of my palm since I always find it much more challenging to draw on larger surfaces.

And thank you so much for the analysis on it! I’m so glad that you picked up on their body language since I was actually having a bit of trouble with that lol

Eek I just can’t believe that you liked it so much thank youuu 💙💙💙

I really like this a lot! I was so excited when I saw it; I did the :DD face with the quick inhalation of breath thing 💙

Oh my gosh, it’s that small? Holy cow; you were able to include so much detail! I’m even more impressed now! 

Also! I forgot to mention before! I really enjoy the way we can see his hand gripping her hair, and the way her hair has been disarrayed by that. Hands in hair are another thing that I find really difficult to draw, myself, and it would have been easy to get out of having to show his hand there by hiding it on the other side of her head. Making it visible was a much braver and better choice; it really adds to the desperation of his body language, and the tension of the scene!

Oof Set you’re killing me right now. I can’t handle this much kindness aaa! Thank you so much again, and I’m so glad that you liked it! I definitely want to draw more from your stories since I love them so much, just not quite sure yet which scene I should do since they’re all amazing!

How Megamind falls in love with Roxanne Ritchi.

pre-movie, canon-compliant, T rating

AO3 | FFN 

chapter 1 | chapter 2 | chapter 3

“And there you have it, Metro City! Although last year’s champion, Maximilian Ascot Valerius III took the lead early on in the proceedings, competition was rough at the Annual Metro City Dog Show, and in the end, the unlikely challenger Hubert Heffernan Gorman fetched the most votes and won the golden collar. Congratulations to Hubert and to Mr. Robert Gorman, the owner of this top dog. This is Roxanne Ritchi, signing off!”

On the television screen, Miss Ritchi smiles at the camera. Then the picture changes, flipping back to the rerun of the late-night news report in the KCMP studio.

Ensconced in his custom built and specially reinforced armchair beside the couch, Minion clears his throat. Megamind looks over at him inquiringly as he raises the remote and turns the television off—he’s already seen this segment; he watched it earlier when he was waiting for Miss Ritchi’s report to come on.

“Sir,” Minion says, “why are you so worried about this Roxanne Ritchi?”

…Oh shit, she thought his comment about making the dog show interesting was snide rather than genuine, didn’t she?

My doggo, Ezri, who rarely barks and mostly borks.

When I got her, she’d been abused and would cower and pee at almost everything, and had been mistreated when she’d barked, so she never would. One day months after I had her she got excited on a walk and borked at a bird, and then immediately cower-peed. I had to re-teach her to bark by gathering her whole human pack and having everyone bark and howl and feed her treats and pet her till she got excited enough to join in, and then got more treats. Took a while but I was able to teach her to bork on command (and she’s gotta be excited or she just stares at me like “Sorry, the bork system needs charging”) and she’ll do it happily when she’s excited to go for a walk or upon seeing a friend, and at birds. I love her croaky borking, especially when she started off terrified of making a joyful noise.

What kind of dog is Ezri? I love her!!

I… did not expect this post to blow up this much but I am delighted at all the tags and replies and Ezri has been told the internet thinks she’s a Very Good Dog. 😀

She’s a German spitz – in the same family as keeshonds and pomeranians. She might be crossed with something else as her freckled coat, non-pointy nose, and personality are not standard for her breed (they’re usually a lot more high energy and excitable – she’s super laid back and chill). She’s a bit less fluffy than breed-standard too, mostly because she’s grown out from her spring/summer trim (not usually necessary/good for her type of coat but she gets terribly itchy otherwise). It also makes her look like a puppy of a large breed:

image

Ezri’s best friend is Murder Cat, who is a gentle friend to humans and Ezri, but does things to mice that would make Hannibal Lecter go “Isn’t that a bit much?”

image

I got Murder Cat as a kitten, and she used to try to nurse on everything when she was small. Eventually, she settled on her favourite thing to nurse on, Ezri, who has never had puppies and a little confused at first but eventually went with it. She grew out of it, but they have stayed snuggly buddies ever since.

image

New Years here is full of fireworks outside and Ezri gets Vry Scared. I usually set her up somewhere with a snuggly spot right by me, and Murder Cat comes and does this all night: 

image

She goes everywhere with me in my bakfiets (cargo bike) and lets me warm my hands in her fur on cold days.

image

And her ears disappear if I say her name to get her attention.

image

ok so great thanks for coming to my TED talk about my dog, good night, drive safe

I love her ❤️

@setepenre-set replied to your post, “I suddenly feel how old I am”

“what was it like, seeing those first pictures? (space *is* eternally new; that’s *exactly* the feeling of it.)”

I know a lot of people have said it was a moment of awe for them, that those first pictures of the “blue marble” really transformed their point of view, but I was kind of already there? See, I was a little kid who loved maps, especially world maps. I would look at them for hours, thinking happily of all the people and countries and animals and ecosystems that exist in the world and being frustrated that the ones in my textbooks (printed during the Cold War, which was still going on) showed the Soviet Union and China as just blank spots, as if those countries weren’t part of the Earth, too, just because they had Communist governments. So the pictures of the Earth from space just confirmed the sense of the world that I already had. I think it was older people who maybe weren’t so bookish, whose mental picture of the Earth was centered on their own physical experience of it (kind of like the famous “View of the World from 9th Avenue” cartoon that has been so often parodied that for a while those “View of the World” cartoons formed a genre of their own), who had their minds blown by the sight of this planet as a rather small thing compared to the vastness of the universe around it. Just a theory.

Oh my god, Cold War textbook maps had the Soviet Union and China as blank?? That’s…so weird and yet as soon as you said it, I was like ‘ah yes BUT OF COURSE THEY WERE’.

Not all of them and not all features. Topographic maps showed the Ural Mountains and the Yellow River. But cities, major roads and railways, internal boundaries, nope. Mad Magazine printed a parody in which people went around saying “big empty spot” instead of “China”. The culminating joke was something along the lines of “The dog tipped over the coffee table and broke six pieces of my wife’s best big empty spot.”
