Retrospring is shutting down on 1st March, 2025 Read more
I love talking about twst, kuro, sofia the first, and vidya games; I also love hearing people's AUs, hcs, and theories...

Do you think of Riddle/Trey/Deuce as a throuple? What are their dynamics to you?
Fufufu... I do... I do! ☘♠️🌹
It took me a bit but I fell down a heavy shipping hole of these three. It began with Deuce, he is my favorite. He's stupid and silly, a huge charm point for me... Ahh actually, I would say Deuce is a character I can fawn over because I feel so connected to him. But I digress. It started with Deuce.
I enjoy the aspect each one bring to the table; Riddle, a perfectionist with a fiery attitude. Trey, a calm and somewhat odd entity with a deep sense of accountability. Deuce, a receptive and eager-to-please ex delinquent who looks up to both of them... Tries his best... Ah!!
For bottom/top dynamics and sexualities:
Trey, an asexual top with strange fetishes and kinks. Knowledgable.
Riddle, pure power botty. Clumsy and "pure" but determined. Only gets off to anal and is a size queen.
Deuce, switch. Has never pleased a guy like Trey but feels compelled to bottom for him, sorta in a way to show respect. He tops Riddle, eagerly going into raw autopilot mode to fuck him.
I feel like in some ways, so many dynamics just work for them. They protect and love each other. I especially love Riddle and Trey's childhood friendship. Funnily enough, King and I shipped Doos and Rido first. Trey naturally happened lol in a way it feels kinda canon!
The three of them just feel so organic...
I really love your art! Any advice or tips for someone that is learning to draw?
(beaming!!) Thank you Anon!!! I'm a huge advocate for anyone wanting to pick up drawing ... If I had to offer any tips, ahhh... I would say:
I beat myself up over it now that I'm way older. Are you more interested in drawing faces, expressions, hair, or other body parts-- but aren't completely interested in learning how to draw other assets? That's FINE! What's essential to you and what do you want to convey? You can convey so much just through simplicity alone. There's not a need to be anatomically correct, and art shouldn't make you feel inclined to do something that doesn't bring you joy or doesn't add anything to what you want to put out into the world. So go you! Draw your 1st, 50th, 50000th bust shot!! If it makes you happy, do it! Keep doing it! Persistence is key here!
Now there is a fine line and whatnot here. There are people that talentlessly trace and you can really tell between when an Artist is Inspired by something, and when Talentless Normie #3304 copies a pic of a big breasted anime girl lol (if that makes sense) What you're doing is studying, what Normie is doing is just tracing without soul or the willingness to learn.
Eventually things come naturally to you. You discover shortcuts, and how to draw up things faster and faster without looking at references.
Oh! And simply observing things around you, and just admiring pictures of characters and their traits. What do you like about the composition of this picture? or what do you like about the expression of this particular character in a freeze frame? As you can tell prolly from my rambling, a lot of creation for me form stems from joy and happiness. How inspiring! I feel like I could look at a picture of Epel once and feel so overwhelmed with inspiration and love that I just GOTTA draw him again!
Overall, I know people aren't going to care what details look like. Does the art process start getting upsetting and demotivating? Then it's time to relax and refocus, understand it's okay that it doesn't look right to you. When art isn't fun anymore, that's when you need to prioritize again. What's essential to you? You don't NEED to draw certain things to a degree just to get to the Main Event. (for instance, you want to draw boobies but don't want to draw arms or anything. But you feel like you need to, in order for the pic to work. Guess what! you don't need to! Don't force yourself to!)
What you need to always keep in mind is that: does it make you happy? Then Do it! No one likes art from a miserable and soulless wretch. (except me, im miserable and soulless)
Down Sides/Sides people don't talk about (from my perspective):
There are also downsides to art and it's just inevitable. Take heart! you aren't alone when you feel these things! They're normal. They're part of the process. Do not lose hope!
remember those drawings you thought were ugly you made years ago? You'll look back on them fondly eventually. There is joy and beauty in everything, inspiration is everywhere, and it's a joy and a blessing to be able to create. That's why I say to you anon, DRAW!!!!!!!!!! THAT!!!!!!!!!! PICTURE!!!!!!
and draw vil with a huge fat ass
Thiccc (with three “c”s) thighs save lives
It’s easy to post up whatever you want when your heart is full of hate and you want to irritate the world (you are a lovely person, I am describing myself)
Hate can be extremely motivating and an important tool for change. Combine it with passion and you're basically an unstoppable entity.
I do think there's fun in being a troll too for sure (Sagely Voice, wagging finger) but it's important to create and post what makes YOU happy. It's essential to be yourself in a day in age where it's easy to offend ppl by simply existing.
I would recommend not to go out of your way to bug people. Be that essential change for yourself and ditch that attitude, you're probably a nice person too. Maybe you've had enough of all these mouthbreathers (like me!!)
Do your best for you, irritate those annoying people we're elbow-to-elbow with, but more importantly, hatvest that hatred you have and create the most insane, awesome, weirdo stuff that makes you happy because Who Cares!!! Not you!! Your happiness will make them sooo mad trust me, it's hilarious AND not as detrimental as going out of your way to irritate people is.
You're already ballsy not caring what you post. So now turn that hatred you have...into a little light... You will inspire other people to be brave and post their weird fun freaky stuff when they see a nice and strong person doing it.
Are you watching arcane s2?
Ah not entirely yet! I watched the leaks a while back and I'm honestly not too impressed with the direction it's going. I think this Friday/Sat I'm gonna try and watch the entite thing at once. I love League so much LOL so I'm just disappointed in a lot of aspects currently with Arcane. (JILCO so hot though)
What do you think of Absolute Territory on guys who are guaranteed to have thick thighs like Rook?
Mbti? ^^
Your deuce art is always so cute I love to see it
Henlo grail, got some spicy idea

Masseuse Vil x Epel, imagine all the things Vil would do on that massage table...
I would love Epel getting the deepest massages that make him go "GKK!!!!!! X_X" every single time Vil presses into his adorably soft muscles... It hurts a lot for sure, but Epel will keep coming back to woo this hot masseuse with his boyish charm rather than just getting massaged LOL So awesome anon...
Vil will have his hands on his wide hips looking so professional and catching on what this silly boy's up to eventually.........I'm so into cute boys dogging after a hot woman♂️ even though the massages leave him in so much pain afterwards (I know Vil goes hard and deep, maybe a little too deep on purpose for Epel)
I do love Vil eventually leaning over Epel on the table and rasping against his ear, "You could try asking me out normally, you realize." just making Epel freeze up on the table and do a little embarrassed chuckle.........
then they will fu-
Vil’s thighs are ✨DIVINE✨. Also biteable and suckable. Sorry for being thirsty on main 😓
I love everything you post and it makes me sad that I’m scared to like and repost it. How did you get so brave?
Thank you for such kind words, and I'm sorry you have to feel like you need to hold back. I've gotten a few messages like this already and I'm never really sure how to respond correctly without sounding preachy.
It is difficult to put into precise words, but... I've always been this way. Before computers, I'd draw and write with pencils, crayons, markers; lined paper, notepads, little scraps of paper. I grew up engrossed in books, comics, video games and made-up worlds that would pass off as Dark Fiction in today's time.
As stupid and pretentious it might sound, the best way to describe it is that I've always had a fierce type of Integrity lol. I was always undaunted by people's thoughts and opinions. I never followed a Crowd, and never fell for groupthink or cared about what my peers thought. I know this sounds so self-important because I'm kinda cringing typing it this way, but I promise that's not the case ahaha. King has told me that she sometimes likes how stubborn I am (emphasizing sometimes wahaha)
With the invention of da Web, it was easier than ever for a young Grail to expand her creative outlet. I remember joining deviantArt, a bunch of forums and browsing endless fansites full of lemon fics. It was just the norm back then! And it was fun, freeing, and felt much more simpler to just enjoy what you enjoy!
I understand that's hard nowadays, and to be frank, I am a HUGE advocate for anyone wanting to draw and create. To me, technical skill is secondary. People get way to comfortable being mean and spreading misery online now. When I see someone with any type of passion, I immediately think to myself, "How inspiring! Incredible and admirable," and I am even further determined to just have fun and not sweat the small stuff.
The one important thing to keep in mind is that no matter what, you will never, ever please everyone. There are going to be people who will just not like your work (your ethic, morals, your style, how you color, how you line, how you write, how you use words, whatever). And that is OK!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is normal. What you need to focus on is your friends, other people who build you up instead of knocking you down.
I consider myself very lucky because I have such kind friends and peers. King is my biggest inspiration, she's perfect to me in every way and has helped build me up. (She is my pilot and I am a big mech that she built piece by piece with love and nurturing) So with her, I feel like I could do anything.
But yeah... Ahhh... I also feel like I was just used to "Dark" and "Sexy" stuff before it even appeared online so I wasn't Shocked and Grossed Out when I saw inuyasha hentai on a fansite in like 2003.
I certainly hope that makes sense... I'm not so well with words ahaha.
Hi Grail.
I like how round n soft Vil’s 🍑 in ur style.
Thank you!
I LOVE the way you draw Vil, it’s so yummy. I want to spank that booty. Or bite it. 😈
Is there any other social media where were can follow you?
Sure!! Socially, I haunt baraag/bsky. Twitter is my main socmed haunt so you aren't really missing much heh.
