Realized I Haven't Posted A Single Thing About River On Here So Have Her Ref + Her Eventual Staff And

realized i haven't posted a single thing about river on here so have her ref + her eventual staff and a couple of aus (info about everything under the cut)

River

child of the mistress and alice, following the events of "stingstress"

raised in ultraprison, so she doesn't really see alice as a parent in any way

bruce is basically her stepfather

very much a hippie, though with a heavily suppressed sadistic side

likes giving nicknames hehe

like the mistress, she's capable of drastic changes in personality. however, river's is triggered by anything that takes away her optimism, and essentially turns her into a beatnik lol

River's staff

when river inherits ultraprison/starts her own branch of ultraprison she's pretty much given a bunch (or maybe all) of the mistress' robots

due to both loneliness and wanting to give her "workers" the freedom of choice she pretty much tried to install freewill/sentience into all of them

most of them either a) ended up being destroyed in the process, b) created very dangerous robots that needed to be put down anyways, or c) pretty much left as soon as they could. the four pictured are pretty much the only successful ones that stuck around

Lily ("Lil")

river's first successful (comparatively at least) attempt at giving a robot free will and it not either leaving or going crazy

basically river's right-hand woman and advisor, she checks up on the other staff members and gives river status reports regularly

despite her free will she isn't much of an independent thinker, being essentially a yes-man to river on anything, much to river's chagrin ("what was the point in me giving you free will if you're not going to use it?")

Lewis ("Lewey" or "Loo Loo", formerly "Lewisia")

he covers accounting/budgeting, file upkeep, and even medical matters when necessary, as well as any other minor tasks that need to be done around rivers prison

he's a bit stoic and can be a know-it-all at times lol

Lilac and Lavender ("Lila" and "Lav")

prison guards essentially

lilac tends to be too lenient, while lav is too vicious/domineering, so river always keeps them together so that they can balance each other out

The Matron AU

basically the mistress changes back to her old self early enough into river's childhood that she's still impressionable

river grows up to become known as "the matron", a warden who's just as harsh and domineering as her mother, if not more so due to her sadism, which she doesn't try suppressing at all

Lady "R" AU

the mistress changes back to her old self during rivers teen years

needless to say, a large rift is formed between the mistress and river, ultimately culminating in river running away

eventually she adopts the alias "lady r" and starts her new life as a radical anarchist-activist, with a focus on prison abolition

she pretty much tries to shut down/destroy as many jails/prisons as possible, with a major focus on eventually destroying Ultraprison

while superjail isn't as big a target on her list as Ultraprison, she still hopes to destroy it too eventually. And maybe she does? Or at the very least does a lot of damage to it lol

OMFG I LOVE THIS!!!!!! Krista looks adorable as hell in your style! I’ve loved your art and Maelstrom for a while now so it means so much that you drew Krista <33333 also I can DEFINITELY see this exchange happening between them hasfsgshaa

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! 🩷💕💞💓💗💖💘💝

Aware of Krista's history with Nicky, Maelstrom does their best to not make it known of their crush on him to keep the peace...especially the plushie they made to snuggle at night.

Colored up a little doodle done earlier tonight. I wanted to try drawing @calithecretin's OC for a bit now. She's freakin' adorable!

Also, practicing drawing in perspectives...still working on it. :T

Krista belongs to calithecretin. Maelstrom belongs to me.

Bored doodle of Warden that I decided to turn into a drawing cuz I really liked how it came out lmaooooo

Before and after lol

HAPPY HALLOWEEEEEEEN from this definitely ordinary couple 🧡🧡🧡

If Superstorm has 1000 haters then I am one of them. If Superstorm has 100 haters then I am one of them. If Superstorm has 50 haters then I am one of them. If Superstorm has 10 haters then I am one of them. If Superstorm has 5 haters then I am one of them. If Superstorm has 1 hater then that’s me, I’m the hater. If the entire world is fans of Superstorm then I am against the world. If Superstorm has 0 haters then I’m dead.

Consensus seems to be yes (I was the only one who voted otherwise so I could see results lmao)

Cool! Once I finish midterms I’ll probably open them up sometime in November, thanks for voting :)

Would you guys be interested if I opened up $5-15 sketch/colored sketch commissions for the time being?

I just really want to make some dang money right now but everywhere I’ve applied has rejected me, and I haven’t really had a job since December and am wanting to make money while going to school. Just at least for this semester.

It’ll just be sketches for now. I don’t have the time for quickly making more than one detailed piece of art since I’m extremely busy with schoolwork and exams. I also only take Venmo though I’m working on getting PayPal set up as well.

Would anyone be interested? I’m not offended at all if you say no, seriously. I just want honesty. And ofc no matter the outcome it isn’t a guarantee I’m gonna open them up.
