Practice made while listening to Kororon by Eve.
I like using this style for color tests and quick sketches, it's fun.
Albedo: *mumbling incoherently while staring at a wall*
Kaeya: Albedo, have you taken your medication?
Dainsleif: Your majesty, we do not have 'medication'.
Kaeya: Wait, what?
Albedo: We do not have this 'medication' you speak of.
Kaeya: Wait. So you are saying...we built all these advance stuff, we are the most advanced nation in Teyvat, but we don't have anti-depressants?
Dainsleif: We were never that advance in the medical field.
Albedo: So it seems.
Kaeya: Then what have I been taking?
Dainsleif: ...Your highness—
Albedo: I am not sure, but I want it.
...For experimentation purposes.
Dainsleif: I'm too old for this.
...No I'm not.
May I join in this partaking?
Question for writers: what made you guys start writing?
I just got an idea: what if a symbiote was injected into a human? Like, the actual symbiote, not like Anti-Venom stuff. IDK if this is even scientifically possible to inject a symbiotic creature into someone, but hey, creativity.
Anyway. Since it’s injected into the person, it changes their DNA and stuff and the body gradually adapts to the intrusion, evolving the body. So, their entire body is now like the Symbiote.
For example, if you throw something at the Person™, they could just make a hole in their body or shift their body to avoid getting it. Or maybe something like an arrow could just pass through because they have a goo-like body now thanks to the goo-like nature of a symbiote without a host.
They can maybe shift to resemble anything? Like, maybe their feet can shift to have skater blades, who knows? Maybe they can even copy the mechanics of wheels and have wheels for feet, IDK if the friction would hurt though. Maybe they can just snatch something from the shelf of a grocery store and store it inside their body because they have a goo-like body and they can just absorb it into them. They can probably shape shift now into different things or people! Granted, the people they shift into will have their own color scheme. So if you're white, whoever you shift into will be white no matter if you copied a black man's look or not.
You cannot change your genetic makeup...well, the color palette at least. And if you shift into things??? It's probably all black or whatever color the Symbiote was and you can't copy certain materials like glass because how??
You know how Symbiote hosts can swing like Spidey? Well, they can do that with any part of their body. Which...Symbiotes can probably do naturally since...well, since they don't have a limit to the wrist like Spidey does. Soo...eh. They're basically the same, except every Symbiote trait is now innate to them.
They probably cringe or just get discomfort from being under the heat or having steam hit their body. Not pain, but mild discomfort. It's when fire is involved that a problem arises.
And they are not allowed in loud spaces or they are in pain. Clubs? Nope. Parties? Nope. They would get noise-cancelling earphones. And because of their aversion to loud noises, they probably start becoming more reclusive and introverted, preferring quiet spaces.
Maybe because it is a symbiote that is injected into them, they still have the living creature but just in their head. Unless they wanted to make a head for themselves like Symbiotes do. So it is basically just a Symbiote, still in your head and everything, it just can't get off of you. Two different people in one body.
Also, maybe, just maybe, because it was injected...you get access to the Hive Mind. Complete access without even needing permission. That being said, since Venom bonded with Spidey which means Spidey's abilities are now in the Hive Mind which explains why Venom has a lot of Spidey's abilities—Person™ will still have those abilities. Stronger than Spidey and have Spider-Sense. Spidey will also not be able to sense Person™.
Thing is, when you do Symbiote stuff like stretching a portion of yourself like Venom does when he swings or grabs something to hurl at someone, it can either be the Person™'s skintone or the color of the Symbiote, it is generally up to the person what they go for. Usually, when shape shifting, they'd just shift their appearance and not change color during the process to be more subtle. Probably just subtly changing their features gradually to be less noticeable. But when they're doing Symbiote stuff, I imagine that their limb would become the color of the Symbiote so it doesn't look like they're a goo-like version of Mr. Fantastic.

Male bodies can have lady parts! Female bodies can have male parts!
There was no clear time to be told. No exact date, exact time, exact moment that would be able to tell people. It was this...
Poison.
This slow killing poison that settles in the gaps of your jonts, the spaces in your muscles. It flows with your blood, following the set trail set by the veins. Until it reaches your brain.
If you asked, you would not be given a clear answer as to when everything cleared up and the thought came.
It was something that was planted long before the time came. It slowly blossomed, the poison as its water that tarnishes the soil it growing on.
It seeps into your being, poisonous, inky black blob of venom that crawled into the crevices of your body, your orfices and settled into you. Blending in with the crowd in your system until it leaked into your soul, painted your heart, manipulated your mind.
It was the blueish, the purplish, the disgusting array of colors that appeared on your skin as the bruised formed from another hit from an unloving and unlovable and disgusting and cruel and demonic hand. It was the bright and angry red that shaped itself as a hand that cupped the entirety of one half of your face.
It was the leakage of dark red blood that tasted like iron and smelled like it from your nose or your split lip or a cut from a bottle shard. Or the torn walls from where it slipped outside and slipped back once more.
This poison.
It takes several forms. It could be that droplet of blood that fell on your desk with a "plink". It could be the next person you talk to. The next hand that slots itself in your hand and it feels so so so wrong. It could be that stripe of saliva somewhere on your skin. It could be that look of a parent so unlike a parent's.
It could be the glinting of a silver blade that blinds you and cuts you with it's sharpness, and that blood that drips from your hand to the matress. And another. And another. And another. And another. And another. And another. And another.
Until.
Until it forms that big wet puddle of red. Like wet paint leaking across the surface of the canvas and spreading. Or blood on a tissue that spreads and leaks onto the bottom.
It could be that void in your chest as you stare at the opened and lifeless eyes of an abuser. Eyes that opened a minute before the final breath was taken. Fear etched onto them. That same fear you saw in your reflection. That same fear you saw reflected into those cruel, cruel orbs.
It could be the steps you took as you walked out.
Or it could be the tiny splash of water from when you dropped the bloody knife.
Or it could be that feeling in your chest you can't identify as you watch the crime, your crime, your sin, reported in the news and printed in the papers and talked around.
Or it could be that sickeningly sweet feeling you felt as you moved forward. Or the faint regret as you looked back.
Or that happy, giddy feeling as you left and started new.
Or that ghostly, cool touch of a hand that explores your every part with a burning, seering, hot pain.
Or that feeling of fear and relief when you woke up and your heartbeat's loud beating of thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thumo, thump...
PLEASE, SOMEONE???? Imagine if they all gang up because one of them gets hurt or smth??? Or one of them got in trouble with their parents and they all help each other out?? Bella being an overprotective sister to all of 'em???
Yet another fic request cause I was reminded of the idea THE BLACK FAMILY COUSINS BEING CLOSE AND SUPPORTING EACH OTHER cause those 5 would be a powerhouse all together and I need to see that the fandom needs to see that so much potential (yes ik they've all got major differences and issues but if yall can make more male potters going back to at least the 1600s last I heard this is more than possible)
Guys, guys, guys!!
It’s a good app, try it. I’m not the type to use planner apps or planners in general, my life is a mess. But…like, I like this app??
IT HAS A FONT STYLE DESIGNED TO HELP AT LEAST A BIT FOR DYSLEXIC PEOPLE??
It does have premium but without it, it works just fine.
The format itself is minimal but easy to navigate. It has helped me fix my sleep schedule a bit, but, like, you still need to have the discipline to actually follow the schedule you plan for yourself. No planners will help you if you don’t follow through with it. Creating tasks and reminders are easy and you can use OneSec which:
And this is what it mainly looks like, I customized my appearance to be purple tho
Just thinking back to "Eyewitness" and the amount of patience Philip had, putting up with Lukas' dumbfuckery. But, seriously, I love Philip Shea's character.
