I was looking through my files and realized I had way more Kaput and Zösky stuff I never posted. Images are captioned with extra info about the individual pieces if that’s what you’re into!
Show’s 20 year anniversary is coming up very soon! Gosh and this year was my 20th, too. Birthed in 2002, we both were. Clearly it was destiny.
I knew I drew them a lot but damn this is like, a lot a lot. Oh well, I just do what the little aspergers demon in my brain tells me to. :P Hope you enjoy!
Your art is so wholesome! 💕
D'aww, thank you, anon! That's very kind of you to say, I appreciate it! Have some teeny tiny twinsies for your trouble <3
“The Mabel Treatment”, 2020
Was looking through my DeviantArt and people seemed to really like this one (I am people also), so here’s a reupload on a website that isn’t totally dead! Original description under the cut :)
“It's ya girl back with another limited palette piece cause it's been a while since I tried one and my inspiration doc is getting real gummed-up
Based off a sketch a did a while ago, I love these two. This old nerd could really use some Mabel pampering to help along with the healing process.
Original sketch involved her having painted his nails as well but it didn't look right in the limited palette, maybe next time </3
Oh, and speaking of which, I love this palette! I wasn't sure how it'd go at first but it's really nice and cozy, perfect for this scene.
Randomized prompt:
Character(s): Ford, Mabel (added Waddles too just cause) Keyword: brush Tone: sweet Palette: sheet 3, 78 / F60″

(Probably goes without saying but please don’t tag as ship!)
It's maybe dump buuut any changes on Venuses approach towards Bill after a night-whimper story time?
(Context just in case, I'm a month late lololol)
Not at all, anon! I really like this question actually, and the reason it took me so long to answer is cause I really had to think about it, but I think I've got a good one for ya now.
Some complementary snuggles for ya, possibly a continuation of the last piece? Up to you! Answer's under the cut since it ended up being pretty long.
So, Bill is a pretty inherently childish character. He just wants to break rules and do whatever the hell he wants with no regard for anyone else because he can. Venuz lives with a pretty normal kid (Yung Cuz), and I like to imagine that he raised him himself, so Venuz knows how kids act. I think that Bill dropping his mask and revealing that, essentially, when things went to shit he stuck his fingers in his ears and went "la-la-la" instead of dealing with it like an adult showcased that immaturity of his, and Venuz recognized it.
Now, Venuz's feelings in regards to this depend on your headcanons of his character. Personally I bounce around two different ones: the Nuclear Throne interpretation and the Gun Godz interpretation.*
In NT he's just what we would think of when we think of a god; he's immortal, he's all-powerful, he's always been around and has always been a god. In this case, he can afford to be a careless and trusting guy because he can solve any problem with a thought. This Venuz immediately takes what Bill says at face value and lemme tell ya if he wasn't in love with the guy before this tragic side of him sure did it. Venuz likes when his gold chains are squeaky-clean, not his lovers; I think he adores that Bill's a terrifying disaster. (Not that he doesn't want to help of course; I'm sure the morning after was breakfast in bed and excessive cuddles and kisses)
In GG, Venuz is still a god, but he wasn't always. (I think I unconsciously took a lot of this from this awesome fic so credit where it's due lol) The planet runs on a system where Gun God is a title taken by force, i.e., to become the Gun God you need to kill the Gun God. He has been through the grinder and though he's mellowed out quite a bit after becoming Gun God he has issues really and truly trusting people. This Venuz is more cautious and keeps Bill's history of being a master manipulator in mind, knowing that there is no reason at all that Bill couldn't be putting on an act. That being said, Bill is pretty much harmless as long as Venuz doesn't consciously decide to return his powers to him, so he still tries to comfort him just in case.
Both are pretty great I think, one is lower-stakes and fun while the other has room for more angst and character growth. There is a hole in the GG logic though which is that if Bill got his hands on a gun he could just kill Venuz and become the Gun God, so uh...oops? Idk, this ship is still mostly crack and good fun tbh.
*TL;DR: NT Venuz sees this pathetic man and goes "shit. i love him even more now"; GG Venuz sees this pathetic man and goes "ok but if he's actually telling the truth then he needs me so"
Thanks for the ask!
