Don't really care if you use this image, just link back to my account if you can, and I won't have to go and cry in a corner, cut my wrists and paint dark poetry with my blood on the walls.

Do not alter it.

Thank you for your consideration and support.

Nice detail! What exactly is the effect of moon sugar?

All the references I could find were hella vague, only that it's categorized as a narcotic. So I just went with a generic high, cocaine and the like. Overall, I'm not entirely sure.

Hmm, okay. Do you plan to write anymore stories about Toulouse, other than Laughter Incarnate and the character sheet?

Indeed, I do. I'm simply always caught between a rock and a hard place.... draw, or write? XD Drawing usually wins.

Understandable. I can't draw worth s**t, though, so writing would win. Then I would probably lose motivation. xD I envy you. Out of curiosity, how did you choose 'Montovani' as Subterfuge Cicero's last name? And what was your inspiration for Toulouse's last name?

My writing is okay, I think, but I definitely find my drawing skills superior to my writing (probably because I spend the least amount of time with it). I wouldn't envy too much, rofl, it makes me scatterbrained when I can't make a decision! And I get all into the canvas and sometimes don't move for like... 8 hours at a time depending on the piece. @n@

Ah, those two... Cicero's took half a day of research. I flipped through several sources of Italian surnames. I wanted him to have a typical/common Italian last name, but I didn't at the same time. I found one "Mantovani" and just made it into a variation, thus Montovani. The sound has a bamf ring to it, but it's subtle, slightly sophisticated and has potential for some goofiness. It gives me this lackadaisical businessman feel, and that's basically what he is on the surface.

Toulouse was a tad easier. I was going through my brain's rolodex for French surnames I was already familiar with. I wanted something strong, yet classy and elegant. "Beau" drifted in and out. I love the "bo" sound and the heavy French "r" and the silent "t". Fascinating. The first site I came across had a million French Surnames, spelling variations included. Then I found Archambeau. One of its meanings is "precious" and had all the things I was looking for. Though the name is not primarily French since its origin is so scattered from ALL THE PLACES. But for all intents and purposes, I was SOLD!

So it's like "Toolooze Arshumbo". He wears it well.

The end. lol

On the matter of Cicero:

Cool. Bit dramatic, but I can see where you're going.

---------------------------------------------------------------

On the matter of Toulouse:

Aye. I fell in love with French back when I was in middle school. My parents weren't sure I'd like it, but boy, were they wrong!

That being said, I like thinking Toulouse's surname is pronounced 'Ar-cam-beau' with a slight roll on the 'r'. Blasphemous, but different strokes for different folks, right?

Once again with your pictures, I always feel like Im in the moment, like I can almost smell the moon sugar burning and the silent shifting of Toulouse's feet on the cushions <3 :D
