It's Rotten Work, But Without The Rot Nothing Can Grow

my OCs are sooo cool you guys don't know what you're missing. if you could see the show i'm watching in my head rn you'd go so crazy i'm telling u

Creepy things to add to settings

Just to make things a bit more interesting

—Water stains from flooding

—Withered down machinery resulting from weather

—Torn fabric caught on spikes

—Attempting to find a hiding spot, only to turn around and find the skeleton of the last person who tried to hide there

—Expecting to see spiders and other bugs, only for them all to scurry away as a new presence enters the room

—Fog slithering in through holes in the walls or open windows

—Stepping on the dead, crunchy leaves of plants that started growing inside

—The characters knowing the floorboards will creak, so they try really hard to keep quiet as they travel. Make them all freeze when they hear something else coming at them and decide if they should stand still to keep from attracting any more attention or if they run for their lives

—The wallpaper and paintings on the wall torn off and scattered against the floor, leaving the walls barren and lifeless

it’s all about how you describe it! Find things that get under people’s skin (bugs, snakes, certain sounds, etc) and connect them to whatever you’re trying to make creepy

popular culture used to be very much about eroticism. rockstars used to be on stage in sequins and thongs and thigh high boots playing guitars like they were masturbating. girls used to wear velvet mini dresses and no bras and red-brick-brown lipstick and mascara on their bottom lashes. people used to have body hair on television and in the movies. people used to be sweaty. people used to touch each other over denim and under cotton. foreplay used to be staring at someone over the rim of a glass across a bar across a park across a dinner table. people used to want. i think we’ve lost something

Stole my brother's tablet so i could finally draw with a pen instead of my finger on my phone lmao. Here's the warm up drawing i did

btw the thing she couldn’t ignore was someone calling her out for saying anti-depressants/hormone therapy are only perscribed by lazy doctors

SOUND ON.

🐍 Naga Centric Ideas 🐍

Techno being yoinked by naga sbi because he kept withdrawing from them but he actually has a fear of snakes.

Techno crying as he explains it and them hugging him but (notably) not letting him go. Instead promising they'll help him get over the fear.

---

Naga Phil having 3 bird sons and having cuteness aggression. He loves squeezing them and their instincts arent very happy about it.

---

Naga Techno yoinking zoologist Phil after bonding over their shared interest in snakes. Phil being mad but also not being able to stop admiring Techs snake features.

---

Naga emduo yoinking mouse hybrid Wilbur. One venemous and the other is a constrictor. He's terrified of them for different reasons and he just doesn't know what to do because there's no way he can even escape them.

---

Mafia hybrid AU where Techno is a naga and has to get his venom milked for certain kills. It's not very comfortable (since he has to get threatened enough to bite) and its dark hurt / comfort.

Lots of apologising but continuing to do something. Maybe have sickly sweet Phil in there too

---

Adopted constrictor Techno feeling guilty about his love language (wrapping people up in his tail and gently squeezing) with SBI that keep trying to kinda trigger his instincts to do so.

Maybe a 3 times and 1 type deal? 3 times Techno was scared to squeeze and the 1 time he did? But like dark and kinda fluffy but mostly hurt/comfort.

---

Something with shifters. Snake shifter Wilbur maybe flicking between a different snake to bond with dsbi more on an instinctual level. Kinda started as a boredome thing but now he kinda gets it.

---

Naga Kristin with human sbi. Its a lot of her being possessive and using her height to her advantage. She gives them lots of hugs and manipulation but dont be fooled, theyre also dark. This ones mostly in my brain.

---

Naga / mer au?? Sea snakes. Coral Reef Snakes perhaps.

my vibe would be bradley james in the merlin behind the scenes photos
