2024 art summary y'all :3
i just realized, the variety that my art can reach is fucking insane (minus ruichi zaito bc i just traced over a manga panel)
to elaborate on roles actually:
zargo's role started out as the caretaker and protector, he'd form the front for any emotional stuff, and bad things happening around us. as time went on, he kind of became more of a co-host, especially since we hang near each other so often, and talk a lot. he's still a protector sometimes, but often just defaults to chill co-fronting and/or just hanging out.
shadow was more of a trauma response formation, he kind of just showed up one day after a string of bad events that particularly shook us. he's more of an emotion holder now, just because i take a lot of the brunt of bad things happening to us; mainly because i don't want anyones source trauma being amplified by new trauma. he still will contain any bad emotions when he can, but he's not forced to, and i remind him that he doesn't have to always hold on to that burden for us; since he can share it with me.
shrimpo is the newest member, half formed from a hyperfixation on dandy's world, and half formed from lack of self care for the longest time. he's always been a caretaker, usually doing chores and cooking for us, and he's still trying to be comfortable with forcing his way to front when i don't do important things (like feeding myself, or cleaning up). he also reminds the other two to take care of themselves as well; reminding shadow to not beat himself up over little things, and reminding zargo to keep clean and shower or brush his hair every now and again.
i've always been here, but i find that my form has definitely shifted. we don't particularly have a solid innerworld/headspace, let alone have one at all; but we can still see each other and what we look like. i'm still not sure why exactly my form changed to look nothing like the body but um, it did. i'm not upset about this though, i look like my skelesona, which gives me mega gender euphoria. also, trauma holding has always been a thing for me, but i never fully realized it until now.
normal + simplified versions of our sys bc why not- (i just wanted to experiment with the simplified versions)
zargo is transfem converted from transmasc btw, but her pronouns are she/he (because she still likes using he). also-also, zargo's become more humanoid now, but he's still a cannibal.
anyways yeah, the four of us
Sharkie and Coral! My babies!
Sharkie is my eepy baby and Coral is my shy lil bab <3
let's get burgers 57 "return of ex part 3"
Yeah you’d need context for this-
oh and here's god too (he's a glowing white mass who is a loser that fell for a mortal [AHEM lianhua AHEM] and xiao is his son)
also those blue things are literally infused with the energy of balance
for context on the last post reblog, here's lianhua guo, and his adopted son xiao luo
(with and without lianhua's bandage, lianhua's scar is actually way worse than the picrew could offer me)
redraw #3!

Shrimpo woke up in a bright room, so bright he couldn't see anything. Only a single page, floating in the center of the room.
He picked it up, and read it. It simply said; "make a sanctuary, and many shall come".
They wished, with tears in their eyes, to simply be at peace.. to be safe.. to be.. happy...
... And so, Cirrus gained a new home.. and a new family.
He looked at his copy and wondered… how come it resembles him more than his own reflection…?
