Broken Picture Identicard

Okay, I've been a bad therapod with a sadly-inactive computer. So here's round two!

Post written largely by IronLawyer. Some small edits by Antrodemus. Everything less-than great is fully Antro. Tía Rodemus no tengo café. Muy triste!

To kick it all off we started with the prompt "capcake".

Antrodemus was our first artist:



Loran described this using a lovely drabble:

Tony did a double-take. Why was Steve standing there like he forgot what he was doing in the middle of drying off after training and taking a shower? And were those nipple-piercings?

He seemed lost in thought and looked more beatific than the communal shower called for. Or the nipple-piercings. Steve didn't notice Tony or make any move; he was just holding the towel in a way that was at least covering his dick, but Tony wasn't sure that it could have caught his attention more than those dang nipple-piercings anyway.

There weren't even anymore drops to be seen. Not on that set of abs and not around those piercings. Tony realized that he had stopped dead in his tracks too. He should move.

The question was: away or closer?

Next, Ironlawyer sketched:

GemAnthony described this as:

Tony gets pop-eyed when he sees Steve's pierced tits.

(GemAnthony also described it in GREAT [in so many senses of the word] detail [and wow do we mean that literally] here: https://brokenpictureidenticard.dreamwidth.org/757.html?thread=7669#cmt7669). We presented both prompts to the next player and offered them their choice of prompts.

The Casual Cheesecake drew two connected sketches, using elements from both:


Which Wynnesome translated into this drabble:

Tony's slouching halfway down his favorite highbacked chair. His shirt is half untucked and half unbuttoned. His eyes are half closed, his legs half open, and he's at half mast.

Steve is nothing halfway except, indefensibly, across the room. Out of all that square-slabbed, straight-striped body armor, he's one naked, sinuous s-curve from doorway-spanning shoulders, down his sloping centerline, to shield-hidden hips, legs spread wide enough to make room for everything Tony knows hangs between.

Steve's nipples are pierced, set away from his body by curving barbells, one running horizontal, one vertical. The gleam of those four tantalizing polished balls almost makes up for the two weightier ones blocked from view.

Tony swears he's gonna build a corset into the next round of the Cap suit.
Yeah. He's got boning on the brain, all right.

Steve saunters closer, closer, closer. Tony hasn't moved a muscle, hasn't managed more than half a breath.

He's already halfway there.

Last, and absolutely magnificent, Kota Sailor was our final artist:



Thank you to everyone who participated in this round. You all did wonderful work! If you so wish, feel free to post and discuss your work elsewhere now that the round is over. We hope you all had fun and will join us in the next game.

So, the rules/ steps:

1.Sign up on this post;
2. There will be a separate post for the actual game;
3. When it is your turn, you will receive either a prompt for artwork or artwork to describe;
4. If you receive artwork, describe that artwork. Get as funky as you’d like! Write a fic drabble, write a sentence, whatever you have time for. But please give the next link something to work with. None o' this, "Um, colors like a Chagall but pecs in the style of Rothko;"
5. That description will be sent on as a prompt to an artist;
6. Yes, you. You are an artist if we say you are. SILENCE, BRAINWEASELS, YOU HAVE NO PLACE HERE;
7. There is NO rule seven;
8. There are arbitrary Monty Python references, because there are in the comics. It’s canon;
9. Post that artwork as a comment on the gameplay post. All comments will be screened;
10. The artwork from step 9 will be DM’d to the next player, who will describe it;
11. Two-day turnaround. If you go over your deadline or the timing is not great right now, you’ll go to the back of the line and receive a new prompt/ artpiece later;
12. Eleven turns per game, variances to be determined by Your Friendly Neighborhood BPI mods, Antrodemus and IronLawyer. All comments on the game post will be automatically screened, and on Reveal Day, we’ll unscreen them.
13. All comments that are not actual gameplay should go on this post, for now. All gameplay posts should go on the gameplay post. We’ll DM participants with the link of the comment to which they should reply, if DW lets us do this;
14. Once each round is revealed, you are welcome and encouraged to post your contributions on AO3. If you want to remix or use a prompt, you should probably ask the author/ artist for permission, though;
15. No discussion of prompts or artwork until the round is posted;
16. Stony-themed only, for now;
17. BE NICE. That includes to yourself. “I wasn’t sure about this bit,” is as critical as you’re allowed to get, and that includes yourself;
18. When we say, “be nice,” we don’t necessarily mean “SFW’.” In fact, NSFW is encouraged;

EDITS:

RULE 19: ALL PROMPTS AND FILLS SHOULD RELATE TO STEVE, TONY, STONY, OR THE AVENGERS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. That's a pretty important rule to have left out! Sorry, all!

Rule 20: Macros of scenes from the Pirates of the Caribbean movies had darn well better relate to your prompts in some manner. Look, it makes sense to mention this. Trust us.

Rule 21: No, really. Trust us. Just not too much.






You may message either of us through Discord under these names comment on the Dreamwidth entry, or message Antro under her Dreamwidth name, spikethemuffin. You are also encouraged to leave comments on this post.

Have fun with it. That’s a suggestion, not a rule.

Questions? Suggestions? Bribes? We’re here for you.

FAQ:
Okay, HAQ. Hypothetically Asked Questions: We don’t actually have any questions, let alone frequent ones.

Q. : How “good” does the artwork have to be?
A: :Good? Artwork? Honey, have you SEEN my scribblings? [Antro is sent on time-out for violation of rule 17.] Stick figures are fine. In fact, if it’s confusing or ambiguous, so much the better for purposes of the game. Also, just so we’re clear, while we’re on the subject, any medium is good. MS paint? Pencil sketch? Photo manip? Twist ties turned into action figures in tiny dioramas? Hired male strippers in a series of tableaux? The sky is the limit. (Literally. Actual skywriting is prohibitively expensive and may violate rule 15.) Just make it something we can easily forward and post via Dreamwidth.

Q: Should I post questions about how to play on gameplay posts?

A: For now, post questions here, on this post, or ask us directly on Discord.

So. G-g-g-g-go!
